Chapter 561 Unexpected Visitor(1/3)
Back in the team, the soldiers were all asking about the situation ahead, and Qin Yuan told them the detailed report of their search.
"Our top priority now is to find the whereabouts of Captain Geng Hu!"
The soldiers all said in unison.
"Well, this matter is indeed our top priority now. I am here to discuss with everyone how to allocate troops."
Qin Yuan said.
They should indeed send people to look for Geng Hu now, but the troops in the rear also need people to guard them.
The best way is for Qin Yuan and He Chenguang to lead two groups of troops respectively. One group is ready to respond at the same place and wait for opportunities, while the other group goes to the front to explore the enemy's situation.
After all, the enemy's position has not been confirmed yet, so they cannot devote all their troops to it.
The other party is probably monitoring their every move somewhere in the dark.
"He Chenguang, you stay here and guard the camp. I will lead a small team to find Geng Hu's whereabouts."
Qin Yuan turned to He Chenguang and said.
He Chenguang originally wanted to argue with him that he wanted Qin Yuan to be the general guarding the camp here, but when he saw the determined look on Qin Yuan's face, he gave up the idea.
"Okay, go ahead and leave the rear to me. Don't worry. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."
He Chenguang said.
Qin Yuan nodded, then selected fifty elite warriors, took the two surviving soldiers from Geng Hu's army, and immediately set off towards the east in the direction of Xiaoyan's army.
"Do you know the general direction?"
On the way, Qin Yuan asked the two soldiers.
"Well! It's over there! They appeared from over there!"
Both of them pointed to the woods to the east.
"Okay, the whole army will advance over there slowly, mainly to hide our whereabouts."
Qin Yuan immediately ordered.
Everyone marched at the same speed as before, with hiding their whereabouts as their top priority.
Soon, Qin Yuan and the others discovered some clues left by the other party.
Although it was deliberately hidden, it did not escape Qin Yuan's eyes.
There are some vague footprints on the ground. Although they have been almost washed away by the soft soil, you can still see them if you look carefully.
These footprints were exactly what the two soldiers said, extending straight into the woods to the east.
This further confirmed the suspicion of Qin Yuan and the two soldiers that the other party was probably hiding in the woods to the east.
But why doesn’t the opponent take advantage of the victory and pursue it?
You must know that each of their teams has stronger numbers and equipment than the logistics company, and they all took the initiative to attack before. Why did the last remaining team choose to avoid the battle?
This made Qin Yuan feel very puzzled.
However, they have no choice but to continue exploring on their current path.
Following the footsteps left by the opponent, the team marched slowly, getting closer and closer to the woods.
Qin Yuan began to think about how to deal with enemies that might appear at any time.
However, everything went extremely smoothly. In the few minutes of progress, they did not encounter any difficulties and successfully reached the outskirts of the woods in front of them.
A group of people lurked in the grass of the woods, staring at the woods ahead.
Qin Yuan also observed it for a while, but did not find any abnormalities or noises.
"It's strange, it's so quiet in here, it doesn't look like there are people."
Some soldiers began to murmur.
"Yes, this is too weird, it looks like there is an ambush."
Qin Yuan also understood in his heart that since the other party had done what they had just done, they must be prepared to prevent their counterattack, and they would not be able to make a sneak attack easily.
Now all they have to do is find the opponent's position and make a plan to attack.
The forest in front looks very strange from the outside. We cannot put our troops in danger easily, but standing still is not an option.
After thinking about it, Qin Yuan decided to go in and test it out by himself.
"You guys wait for me here, I'll go in and check out the situation myself. I'll come back and tell you later."
Qin Yuan whispered to his soldiers.
"Captain! How can I let you take this risk alone?!"
The soldiers below obviously couldn't accept it.
"Don't worry. Investigation is my strong point. I've done this before and I've never failed. There's no need to worry about me."
Qin Yuan frowned.
Then, not wanting to waste any more time with them, he turned and walked into the woods without waiting for their answer.
Qin Yuan carefully opened the lush grass and ducked into the depths of the woods.
The situation inside was indeed similar to what he expected. It was overgrown with lush vegetation. At first glance, it was all green trees, and there was no trace of people.
It's strange, I obviously followed the footsteps to get here, but why can't I see anyone?
Could it be that the other party is playing a hide-and-seek game with him?
But this is not right. Obviously, if there is a protracted war, Xiaoyan will suffer, and the other party will not be so stupid.
Qin Yuan closed his eyes and shook his head.
I sorted out the thoughts in my mind.
No, there must be something wrong with this forest.
But Qin Yuan couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Suddenly, the sound of insects chirping nearby interrupted his thoughts.
Bug noise?!
right!
They didn't hear any sound when they came outside the woods just now!
This is very weird!
Generally speaking, in a dense jungle like this, there should be very loud sounds of birds and insects!
But they have never heard such a sound from the beginning to now!
But now, Qin Yuan can only hear it when he enters the forest! And it is some subtle sounds of crickets! There are not many!
This phenomenon is very unusual.
Qin Yuan's eyes slowly began to show surprise.
Then he immediately turned around and ran outside.
After taking three steps and two at a time, it took less than a minute to return to the queue outside.
Everyone was very surprised when they saw Qin Yuan running out in a hurry.
asked:
"Captain Qin Yuan?! What's wrong? You came out so soon? Why are you so panicked? What happened?"
"There is something unusual in this forest."
"We can't go in."
"What?"
The soldiers were very surprised.
To them, this is a perfectly normal place.
"Why?"
Qin Yuan took a breath.
He said in a deep voice:
"Have you noticed that it's surprisingly quiet here?"
Qin Yuan frowned and said.
The eyes of the group widened, and when they thought about it seriously, it was indeed the case!
"The captain said that! It's true!"
"Although this forest is very dense, there are no normal bird calls!"
As soon as someone said this, the others began to marvel.
To be continued...
