Chapter 401 Tracking
Although I was very worried about Suo Tian, I could only follow Gao's words and follow the others as they walked toward the other side.
It is almost impossible not to break the brittle withered grass at all. Besides, we also broke it when we came here. As long as those people are careful and come back to take a look, they can deduce the situation.
In that case, it would be quite difficult for us to follow them.
Not to mention anything else, just knowing that there are other teams around you, I am afraid that they may seize the opportunity at any time to hunt the cicada and turn the cicada into an oriole.
We quickly entered a forest and ran about a kilometer in the opposite direction to them. Cai Gao ordered us to stop. Although the vegetation here was quite dense, if we looked carefully, it was still possible.
Discovered by the group of people who were looking back, Big Beard found a low-lying area, and we all immediately went there and knelt down.
When lying in a low-lying pit, it felt a bit like watching those bunkers in anti-Japanese dramas.
After confirming that there was nothing going on in the distance, the bearded man asked: "Captain Gao, let's stay here, but the boss asked us to follow them. We don't know if they are far away here. How can we follow them?"
The man surnamed Gao waved his hand: "Suotian will get rid of them soon, and those people will definitely go back to check."
I was a little puzzled: "We all want to avoid people when we see them. Logically speaking, they should also try to avoid us as much as possible. How could they run back to take a look when they knew there were enemies behind them? Just do it directly
Wouldn't it be better to leave? If you avoid a fight, fewer people will be hurt."
Hearing this, the man named Gao glanced at me: "First of all, they are absolutely not afraid of hurting people. Secondly, this avoidance is only for us. Our manpower is really not enough to cope with these battles, so currently we can only choose to avoid it conservatively."
Let's go and wait for the team members behind to join us. Besides, they are fully capable of dealing with them. Isn't it wrong to choose to avoid them? In addition to our own team, there are only enemies left."
The black bear on the side suddenly said: "Captain! I suddenly thought of something!"
"What?" The man named Gao turned to look at him.
"When we were together with Lao Hong and the others, I once smelled a slight earthy smell."
The man surnamed Gao did not speak in a hurry and motioned for him to continue.
"Considering the shovels these people brought just now, is it possible that the base is actually...underground?"
Hearing this, the man surnamed Gao raised his eyebrows sharply: "It's too early to say this now. It's still at least a week's journey to get there. We're not completely sure of the purpose of that group of foreigners. Let's follow them first.
They'll wait until it's confirmed."
After hearing this, Big Beard interrupted their conversation and asked strangely: "Then what are those people doing with those shovels? If the base is really underground, are they planning to dig a tunnel there?"
Black Bear glanced at him: "It's possible."
The bearded man curled his lips: "Isn't that all because they are full? How great would it be to have a real guy in your hand and rush in through the gate with a bunch of bullets?!"
The man surnamed Gao shook his head slightly: "Now it seems that it should not be that simple. We have not seen the true appearance of that base with our own eyes. This group of people obviously came well prepared. They will not rashly bring anything without verification."
Carrying so many cumbersome shovels into the mountains, it's possible that the shovel they brought could be of great use."
Brother Jie also nodded: "Yes, since the boss asked us to follow them, it proves that they already have an idea in mind. Why don't you just do it, Wu Gang? Why are there so many problems?"
When the bearded man heard this, he immediately fired back: "What's the matter? Isn't it okay to ask questions without being ashamed? This is what my Chinese teacher taught me before. Don't be afraid to ask questions that I don't understand. The more you ask, the more you will learn. You bastard understands."
What?"
Brother Jie seemed to not want to start a verbal war with him: "Chengchengcheng, you ask, you ask."
The black bear glanced at the bearded man: "You are so loud, it's like carrying a loudspeaker with you. The enemy can clearly identify our position from two miles away."
Although the bearded man likes to quarrel with others, what the black bear said this time was really reminding him to keep his voice down. He looked like he wanted to talk back, but he could only shut his mouth angrily.
As a result, someone behind us suddenly farted loudly, which startled us. The bearded man happened to be panicking, so he turned around and asked, "Who is it?"
A slightly thin team member raised his hand slightly: "I'm sorry, Brother Gang, I ate too much..."
The bearded man twisted his face and said: "Can you have some fucking quality?! You fart everywhere!" He reached out and slapped the man on the head, and at the end he added: "I told you
Eight hundred times, don’t call me brother An, call me brother Ang, or vice-captain!”
I glanced at the bearded man helplessly, then turned to Gao and asked, "Are we waiting for Suo Tian here?"
"Yes." The man surnamed Gao nodded: "Work with him. Only a savage like him can feel comfortable in a place like this."
The corner of my mouth trembled slightly... Why is Suotian's nickname either a pervert or a savage?
We thought that Suotian would come back soon, but who knew that we stayed in place for two hours without seeing Suotian's figure. During this period, Gao even ventured back to search for a circle, but found nothing.
Just like this, another hour passed. We had been waiting for a full three hours, and the sun had begun to set in the west. Seeing that it would get dark soon, the man named Gao frowned and stared ahead for a long time.
He said to us: "Load your guns, the situation is not right, don't wait, we will chase after you."
His statement that something was wrong made me feel even more nervous. Something was wrong... What did he mean by "something was wrong?"
The faces of Big Beard and Brother Jie didn't look good either, but they were used to obeying orders. It wasn't until they heard Gao's order that they quickly got up from the ground and cocked their guns quickly.
After that, he followed the man surnamed Gao and walked forward.
During this period, the man surnamed Gao kept emphasizing: "Pay attention to the situation around you, just in case they are cheating."
In this way, we kept almost absolute silence and gradually walked back to the place where we camped before. When I saw the dirt and rocks pulled out by the group of people on the ground, I suddenly felt a little ironic. Everything seemed to be happening today.
None of it developed in the way we expected.
After crossing the low-lying area, we turned towards the back of the mountain stream.
As I said before, there are still woods behind this mountain stream, but the difference is that the terrain here is obviously different from the ones we walked a few days ago, with undulating heights. Sometimes the gap between the hillside and the ground below can be more than ten or twenty meters.
The difference is that the drop is not like a cliff that is perpendicular to the ground, but is diagonally downward. There is no need to use a rope. When going down, you only need to pay attention to the vegetation that appears on the cliff from time to time, and you can go down safely.
When we walked to the first slope, we clearly found a group of messy footprints. The group of people and Suotian should have slid down here before.
The man surnamed Gao knelt down and took a look, then clapped his hands and stood up: "Be vigilant, let's go down."
As he spoke, he turned over first and began to slide downwards. His movements were very agile, and after a few long runs, he reached the bottom very gracefully.
The rest of the people were also very fast. When I arrived, their backs and buttocks were almost sliding down against the wall.
Along the way, my back and butt were sore from the protruding stones.
After a difficult move, I finally made it safely to the end. The bearded guy pulled me up from the ground. When I stood up, I subconsciously touched the clothes on my butt and back to make sure there were no scratches before I accepted the test with peace of mind.
He picked up his equipment bag and followed them to look around at the surrounding environment.
There is another long and narrow passage around here. The place facing us is an uphill slope, which is about ten or twenty meters high. It is opposite to the place we came down from before, directly stepping on our feet.
Both sides of this passage were blocked, forming a "line of sky" terrain.
I glanced at the hillside in front of me. There were no obvious footprints on it. There were so many people chasing Suotian before. If they went up, they would definitely leave some traces, but now there are no traces. Then
It can only mean that they should have walked towards one of the two sides of the road.
The man surnamed Gao squatted down and pulled at the grass and trees twice toward the right, and then said to us: "This way."
The road along this line of sky was straight and could be seen far away at a glance. I didn't see any human figures at this glance, so I simply ran over without any worries.
In fact, it was a bit reluctant to say that we were running, because the terrain of this "line of sky" is quite strange. Although the hillsides on both sides are sloping, the foot of the mountains are almost connected together, so the road under our feet can barely be regarded as a road.
, is actually the foothills where two mountains are connected. The vegetation is lush and there are even many evergreens, so it is very troublesome to walk. One foot is deep and the other is shallow. Even the bearded people fell several times.
