With fear and uneasiness, Liu Xing still chose to stay on top. In Liu Xing's view, he could never do anything to risk his death.
Seeing Gu Chen and the others forming a search formation, splitting into two groups and outflanking the dense forest below, Liu Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took out his flashlight to provide cover for everyone.
Since everyone is at different angles, the field of vision is relatively wide at first.
But as we get further down the mountain, there are more blind spots in our vision.
Since Gu Chen needed to ensure the safety of every search team member, he acted cautiously.
It can be said that if there is any abnormality in the forest, everyone must be careful, otherwise it will be easy for the other party to catch it.
"Damn it." Looking at the complicated vegetation in front of him, Gu Chen suddenly stopped and began to look left and right.
"According to the footprints, the opponent has indeed entered this dense forest, but his steps are also unorganized."
"It seems that the other party doesn't actually want to escape, but wants to trap us here."
"But……"
Thinking of this, Gu Chen suddenly hesitated again.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei on the side quickly took a defensive posture, retreated to Gu Chen, and asked: "Junior Brother Gu, what's wrong?"
"I think the other party seems to be teasing us intentionally." Gu Chen said.
"Tricking us?" Lu Weiwei looked around and echoed, "I see, that's what the other party meant."
"I knew I couldn't run away, so I tricked us all into the woods, and then tried to find a way to defeat each of us."
"But there are so many of us."
"More people are not necessarily an advantage." Gu Chen's words immediately left Lu Weiwei speechless.
Seeing that Gu Chen had never been so indecisive as he was today, Lu Weiwei also persuaded him: "Junior Brother Gu, we don't need to worry too much. After all, these police equipment in our hands are not for decoration."
"If we see the other party making any dangerous moves, we will shoot directly."
"This is the only way." Gu Chen couldn't say anything else, so he reminded Lu Weiwei beside him: "Senior Sister Lu, pull out your gun and follow me. Be responsible for the flanks and rear at any time. Leave the front to me."
"Understood." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei knew clearly that Gu Chen wanted to leave the danger to himself and let him face the danger by himself.
And since he was holding a domestic crack gun, he could hide behind Gu Chen as a cover.
But if the other party suddenly attacks Gu Chen, he can shoot decisively.
There is no problem with the cooperation between the two.
I saw the mechanical baton in Gu Chen's hand constantly tightening and tightening.
Lu Weiwei knew that Gu Chen also started to become nervous.
Since Gu Chen wore the only four-eye night vision device in the team, he was quite comfortable operating at night.
Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha's team are responsible for the surrounding areas with better visibility.
Seeing the footprints on the ground extending and turning, Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stopped and looked around.
Upon seeing this, Lu Weiwei immediately raised the muzzle of the gun and began to look at the surroundings.
At this moment, Gu Chen still did not find any heat source in his field of vision.
But the big and sturdy trees.
At this moment, the footprints were gradually becoming chaotic in the dense forest.
Sometimes it moves back and forth, sometimes it is daubed on purpose.
For a time, the other party's whereabouts and intentions became a mystery, and Gu Chen became more and more nervous.
"Sister Lu." Gu Chen reminded.
"Ah?" Lu Weiwei was stunned and quickly asked Gu Chen: "What's wrong?"
"Pay attention to the back and flanks, especially the back, to prevent the opponent from attacking from behind. The opponent may have a machete in his hand."
Gu Chen was worried about Lu Weiwei and continued to remind her.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "I understand, I will be careful."
"Follow me." Gu Chen frowned and continued to move forward.
But this time, Gu Chen was in a narrow area and did not follow up.
Instead, go around to the back of another big tree and try to keep a distance from the corner.
The purpose is to prevent the other party from suddenly coming out of the corner and catching you off guard.
Such a search method can greatly reduce your own injuries.
However, no matter how cleverly Gu Chen avoided the blind spot, he was still unable to find traces of the other party.
After circling around, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that the big tree in front of him seemed to be exactly the same as the one he walked through just now.
"Something's wrong." Gu Chen quickly stopped.
Lu Weiwei didn't pay attention, bumped into Gu Chen, and said quickly: "Junior Brother Gu, why did you stop again?"
"It seems we've come around again." Gu Chen said warily.
"Going back?" Lu Weiwei was a little confused and quickly looked around.
Gu Chen pointed to a big tree and said, "I noticed just now that there is a bent trunk on the stump of this big tree."
"But after going around, the tree trunk is still here."
Looking down at his feet, Gu Chen added: "There are still these footprints, going around and around, we are back to the starting point. Now the footprints in the snow are relatively messy, and it is difficult to see clearly whether they are our footprints or the other party's footprints.
"
"I know." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei also realized that the danger was nearby.
He quickly approached Gu Chen vigilantly and whispered: "The other party deliberately led us into the woods, and then tried to use these thick trees as cover to detour us."
"The purpose is to get us around and destroy the footprints on the ground so that we can't tell the specific location of the other party. The other party is counter-reconnaissance, and we have been fooled."
"That's right." Gu Chen sighed heavily and discovered the other party's true intention.
Just as Lu Weiwei had predicted just now, everyone could still track based on the footprints before.
In this way, no matter how the other party escapes, it will always be difficult to escape the pursuit of the police.
But now, the other party used the method of circling, constantly asking Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to follow the location of the footprints.
Moreover, the opponent's escape route is also very tricky. Instead of walking in a straight line, he will make detours and walk vertically with you from time to time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It started forward, and then suddenly went to the right or left. Sometimes the footprints even went backwards, and sometimes the footprints were deliberately erased by the other party.
The road footprints are blurred.
In this way, the footprints in the surrounding thick woods were crushed over and over again, and they soon became messy.
In addition, it is already dark in the woods at night, so even if everyone has flashlights, it is difficult to find the target location.
Gu Chen would sometimes take off his four-eye night vision goggles and use flashlights to search.
When there are areas with suspicious targets, Gu Chen will wear four-eye night vision goggles for a short observation, and then make the final move.
In this way, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei cooperated with each other and found that they had fallen into each other's trap.
Gu Chen, who suddenly felt bad, also sighed softly and warned: "It seems that if we continue to go around like this, we will only be led by the other party, Senior Sister Lu."
"Ah?" Lu Weiwei heard this and hurriedly came to Gu Chen's side: "What's wrong?"
"Retreat." Gu Chen said.
"Retreat and stop looking?" Lu Weiwei looked surprised.
Gu Chen shook his head: "I'm not looking anymore. Inform Senior Brother Wang and the others to stop searching."
"But……"
Lu Weiwei seemed a little disappointed after hearing Gu Chen's arrangement.
Obviously, this is not Gu Chen's style of doing things.
If you don't achieve your goal, you give up halfway and let the other person run away. If you want to find the other person again, it will definitely be harder than climbing to the sky.
But Gu Chen was the leader after all. He said he wouldn't look for her, so Lu Weiwei couldn't force anything more. She could only sigh and said helplessly:
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two adjusted briefly and then quickly retreated behind them.
When retreating, Gu Chen stood back and kept watching the situation around him.
Since the footprints at this moment were already messy, Gu Chen was not sure where the other party would make a sudden attack on him.
But when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei retreated to where they had entered the thick woods, everything seemed so quiet.
Then, Gu Chen used his flashlight to flash at Officer Wang's end, reminding Officer Wang to retreat.
Officer Wang also understood Gu Chen's prompt and immediately took Yuan Shasha back the same way from the other end.
When the two groups of people came together, Officer Wang asked curiously: "Gu Chen, didn't you find any clues?"
"There are some clues, but..." Gu Chen was mid-sentence, but suddenly stopped talking.
"But what?" Officer Wang was a little confused.
Lu Weiwei also sighed and said helplessly: "Strange to say, this guy really knows this jungle counter-reconnaissance."
"We used to follow each other's footprints and track them all the way to the open area. We felt that there was no big problem and the other party's footprints were clear."
"But once they reached the thick woods, the other party's footprints began to become extremely irregular."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei also gestured with everyone and said: "Sometimes, the other party will stride forward, and the distance between their footprints is very large."
"Sometimes, the opponent will suddenly move laterally, that is, the toe of the shoe is advanced, but the opponent is walking sideways."
"Other times, the other party seems to be walking backwards, and there are no footprints on the heels in some places."
"What's even more outrageous is that in some areas, the other party used their own shoes to deliberately smooth out the footprints in the snow, disrupting our search rhythm."
Sighing heavily, Lu Weiwei also said with a helpless face: "The current situation is that the other party took us around detours over and over again, and we have returned to the starting point several times in a row."
"As a result, our footprints on the ground were all messed up, and we stepped on them several times."
"Oh, wouldn't you be more careful? Avoid those original footprints?" Officer Wang became anxious upon hearing this.
Lu Weiwei frowned slightly: "Go around? Old Wang, what you said is quite easy. At that time, Junior Brother Gu and I were very nervous and did not dare to slack off at all."
"You keep looking at the footprints in front of you and the surrounding trees. In that kind of environment, how can you focus all your attention on your feet? Then you have to focus on the surrounding environment?"
"But if we put our attention elsewhere, we will inevitably neglect our feet."
"When we discovered that we had been deceived by each other time and time again, we discovered that the footprints under our feet were already messy and it was difficult to distinguish each other."
"Ouch, what should we do?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Officer Wang also had a headache.
When Yuan Shasha saw this, she couldn't help but said:
"It seems that the other party is very smart and is deliberately causing trouble for us. But the other party also knows very well that his purpose is to trap us in the jungle."
"We're not looking for him anymore," Gu Chen said.
"What?" Officer Wang was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Gu Chen, you are not looking for me anymore? Why?"
"We can't fall into the chess game designed by the other party." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang scratched the back of his head and said with some confusion: "I don't understand."
"It's very simple." Gu Chen looked around and waved to let everyone come closer to him.
When everyone gathered around, Gu Chen said: "The other party obviously wants to introduce us into the woods. What is the purpose of introducing us into the woods?"
"Uh, trap us?" Yuan Shasha said.
"Yes, the other party's purpose is to take advantage of the terrain and keep us trapped in the jungle."
"But before I searched, I had already observed the surrounding terrain. Going down, we found the jungle we were searching just now. There are many thick trees there, which can provide cover for the opponent."
"However, it is difficult to get out of the jungle from there because the terrain here does not allow it."
"Moreover, once the other party leaves this thick jungle, no matter where the other party goes, there will be a blind spot on the route."
"Because Liu Xing, the owner of the Explorers Club, also said that this trail was discovered through repeated explorations."
"And everyone also needs to rely on the road signs carved on the tree trunks to guide them to ensure that they don't get lost."
"Otherwise, you may accidentally enter a snake den or encounter a wild beast. Therefore, if you want to cross Fairy Peak, you must not leave the established route and take a road that has never been traveled before."
"Because the risk of doing this is really too great, and it is very likely that you will lose your life."
"I know." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei suddenly understood and quickly agreed:
"The other party wants to use the maze of the woods to trap us inside, and then take the opportunity to escape. He will continue to cross Fairy Peak according to the original route, in order to escape from the hinterland of Fairy Peak."
Sighing softly, Lu Weiwei added: "As long as we hold on to that path, the other side can't do anything. We don't dare to deviate too far from the established route, otherwise we are likely to die in the hinterland of Fairy Peak."
"Oh, so that's it?" After hearing Lu Weiwei's explanation, Officer Wang seemed to understand the truth and couldn't help but smile and said:
"Okay, if he goes his own way, we won't follow him. We'll just wait here for him and see how long he plans to hide."
Looking around, Officer Wang added: "Anyway, there are many of us, and we have prepared a lot of equipment and food. It takes time, but we have plenty of time."
"Yes, after all there are four of us." Yuan Shasha said.
When Lu Weiwei heard this, she immediately corrected her: "No, there are five of us. Isn't there also Liu Xing who is covering and observing us from above?"
When Lu Weiwei finished speaking, everyone immediately turned their gazes to the direction they came from.
But at this time, the front was already dark, and there was not even a single figure.
Lu Weiwei looked confused: "Eh? Where has Liu Xing gone?"
