Lu Weiwei had wanted to say it before. After all, she heard from the ranger captain that there once was a family here who mysteriously disappeared in the mountains and forests.
For a long time after that, a large number of people went into the mountain to search, but in the end they all ended without success.
Not only that, but the gangs that came to the mountains to poach had also encountered such evil things one after another.
But now, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that in the process of looking for the attacker, she was led into a maze of woods by the attacker and almost couldn't get out.
But now, Liu Xing was a very good person. He was still outside and did not move, but suddenly he disappeared.
When everyone followed Liu Xing's footprints and found Liu Xing's whereabouts, they were almost trapped by the maze of woods in front of them.
This reminded Lu Weiwei of the saying "ghost breaks the wall", so she told Gu Chen next to her about her worries.
Gu Chen shook his head and said comfortingly: "Senior Sister Lu, you are worrying too much."
"But, Junior Brother Gu, the forest ranger captain mentioned it. He said that in this mountain forest, a family once disappeared mysteriously and never left the Fairy Peak."
"Moreover, poachers have also encountered the girl in red, which is quite evil, but now we have encountered this kind of forest maze again."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei explained in a matter-of-fact manner: "Look, we just entered the woods to track the attacker, and then we got lost."
"We went to look for Liu Xing again, but got lost in the woods again, and a lot of snow fell, almost burying us in the snow."
"Everything like this feels quite weird."
"It's just a coincidence." Gu Chen interrupted Lu Weiwei's words. In fact, Gu Chen didn't believe these fallacies at all, so he quickly explained to Lu Weiwei:
"Senior Sister Lu, the former ranger captain did tell us about the girl in red at Fairy Peak, but I guess there is a high probability that this is just a rumor fabricated by these people."
Looking at the footprints on the ground, Gu Chen added: "We are looking for Liu Xing. We followed the footprints here. We can't be wrong."
"But where is Liu Xing currently? We don't know. Now that our teams are separated from Senior Brother Wang's, it will inevitably increase the risks for both our teams."
"That……"
"Let's go back first and meet up with Senior Brother Wang and the others." Before Lu Weiwei could speak, Gu Chen reminded her.
Lu Weiwei was a little speechless, but there was no better way now.
That's right, Liu Xing's disappearance seems to be a foregone conclusion.
If you still waste time here, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of searching.
After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go back now."
After leaving the search area, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei back to the place where Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were staying.
At this moment, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were both very cold. From time to time, they walked back and forth in the snow and stamped their feet.
Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei returning, Yuan Shasha hurried over and said, "Senior Brother Gu, Senior Sister Lu, have you found Liu Xing?"
Lu Weiwei had a bitter face, shook her head, and said helplessly: "No, Liu Xing did return from the original route, but halfway, he walked back down the mountain."
"But when we tracked all the way and entered a place similar to the woods in front of us now, Liu Xing disappeared immediately."
"What's more, what's even weirder is that we found that we had been walking in circles, and our footprints were stepped on over and over again."
"Isn't that exactly the same as the situation here?" When Officer Wang heard what Lu Weiwei said, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Lu Weiwei nodded fiercely: "Isn't it? Moreover, the snow on the trees suddenly fell collectively under a strong wind."
"If Junior Brother Gu hadn't protected my head, it would have been hit hard."
Shrugging her shoulders, Lu Weiwei said helplessly: "There is no other way, so we can only go back the way we came and meet you first."
"So weird?" After listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Officer Wang suddenly felt that the entire forest seemed to be full of uncertainties.
Yuan Shasha was also surprised. She couldn't help but look at Gu Chen and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, is this really the case?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly and couldn't help but said:
"I don't know, what is going on? I don't know if Liu Xing is fine, why did he return all the way?"
"Logically speaking, when we set out to search at the foot of the mountain just now, Liu Xing was so frightened that he did not dare to go down the mountain to search."
"And staying here is his own opinion. Logically speaking, if he is afraid, he will not dare to move around at will."
"But not only did he leave, he also disappeared. He didn't return the same way."
With a heavy sigh, Gu Chen said helplessly: "So, this matter doesn't seem so simple."
"No matter how we called Liu Xing, Liu Xing never gave us the response we deserved."
"I really don't know, what exactly does Liu Xing want to do?"
"Senior Brother Gu." Yuan Shasha also expressed her opinion after hearing this:
"Is this possible? What did Liu Xing discover while standing above to observe the situation for us? Then he couldn't contact us for a while, so he went over to see the situation by himself."
"But in the blink of an eye, Liu Xing was taken into the forest and lost his way. After all, this is how we got lost in the jungle at the beginning, wasn't it?"
"Then someone has to attract Liu Xing to come over. But when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei followed them all the way back, didn't they only see Liu Xing's footprints?"
While Officer Wang was speaking, he glanced at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei and asked, "Is that so?"
"That's right." Lu Weiwei nodded silently and said cautiously:
"We just started tracking the past, and we completely followed Liu Xing's footprints to find him."
"But later it was discovered that Liu Xing deviated from the road he came from and disappeared down the mountain alone."
"No one is guiding you? Impossible, right?" Upon hearing this explanation, Officer Wang frowned and sighed:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Liu Xing was not led to leave, or in other words, no one led Liu Xing to leave, but how did Liu Xing make such a wrong decision?"
"Could it be that it was not humans but animals that lured Liu Xing away?"
"Animal?" Lu Weiwei's expression was stunned, and then she blurted out: "Could it be flying from the sky? After all, there are no footprints in the snow."
"It may also be tree climbers, such as squirrels. Squirrels can shuttle back and forth in these dense forests." Yuan Shasha also gave a different opinion.
When Officer Wang heard this, he waved his hand and vetoed it: "Yes, yes, do you think Liu Xing would leave here rashly for a pine tree?"
"Well……"
Hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"That's alright." Officer Wang spread his hands and said angrily, "Liu Xing is not that stupid."
"Then what do you think, Lao Wang, was the factor that led Liu Xing to leave?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Officer Wang looked stunned, subconsciously looked around, and then whispered: "Could it be something unclean?"
"Senior Brother Wang, why are you like Senior Sister Lu?" Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Officer Wang actually made a joke in such a tense atmosphere.
Officer Wang also laughed and explained: "Isn't this just a wild guess based on what the ranger captain said?"
"Ignore this for now." Gu Chen looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the direction of the dense forest where he had searched for the attacker before disappearing, and asked:
"You and Xiao Yuan are observing here, have you found anything unusual?"
"That's not true." Officer Wang walked to a position parallel to Gu Chen and sighed:
"Xiao Yuan and I have been observing here for a long time, but we still haven't found anything unusual in this forest."
"No movement at all?" Gu Chen asked.
"There's no movement at all." Officer Wang replied calmly.
Gu Chen sighed and said in disbelief: "Is this attacker planning to hide in the woods all the time? Is he planning to waste time with us? To compete with us in endurance?"
"Maybe?" Lu Weiwei thought for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Compared to us, the other party may only have one person, and the road across Fairy Peak has been blocked by us."
"This guy is probably waiting for the right moment to escape from here."
"So, now we just have to fight for endurance."
"But we have an absolute advantage." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen said without hesitation:
"Now we are at a disadvantage because the surrounding trees are too dense and it is nighttime, so it is difficult to search."
"But if it gets brighter and the sun shines into the forest, our advantage will be greatly increased."
"At that time, no matter how hard this guy hides, we will always find him."
"That's right." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang glanced at the darkness in front of him again and couldn't help but sigh: "Then just waste time with him like this?"
"This is the only way." Gu Chen has no better way at the moment. After all, this dense forest search is at night.
Gu Chen had experienced the complexity of road conditions in forest areas, so he naturally understood.
If you rush into the search at night, everyone might be trapped.
Fortunately, everyone didn't get very far into the hinterland of this dense forest, so they were able to escape unscathed.
But it is really dangerous to walk into a dense forest and lose your way.
So after everyone discussed it, they adopted the method of taking turns to be on duty, which was like a nail, firmly nailed on the only way to cross the Fairy Peak.
Gu Chen asked Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to rest first. They all used the slope as a support, put their backpacks behind their backs, and then leaned on the slope to rest.
Gu Chen stood on the same spot, always observing the surrounding situation, especially the unusual movements in the woods.
Time passed by, and because they were resting in the forest, everyone did not bring a simple tent, so they lit a fire on the spot.
Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were already asleep, while Gu Chen was still warming himself by the fire and observing the movement in the forest.
The wind at night began to subside, but from time to time snow would fall from the treetops, throwing up white mist.
At this time, Gu Chen needs to be extra vigilant, alert to the attacker, and use the sound of falling snow on the treetops as cover to move his position.
Therefore, whenever Gu Chen heard the sound of falling snow, he would immediately stand up and use the strong flashlight in his hand to continuously scan the woods in front of him, not giving the other party any chance.
Just like that, the sky gradually started to get brighter.
When Lu Weiwei opened her eyes, she found that she was covered with a warm jacket.
When I looked again, it turned out to be Gu Chen's outdoor warm mountaineering jacket.
At this moment, Gu Chen was still standing like a pine tree, facing the woods ahead.
Lu Weiwei turned around and looked around. The bonfire had been extinguished, but Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were still curled up in a ball, sleeping quietly.
"Ouch." Lu Weiwei opened her coat, stood up with some difficulty, and twisted her stiff arms.
Gu Chen, who was standing in front of him, turned his head and said, "Senior Sister Lu, are you awake?"
"Junior Brother Gu, did you stand like this all night last night?" Lu Weiwei looked surprised.
Gu Chen nodded slightly.
Lu Weiwei suddenly felt distressed and said: "Put on your coat quickly, be careful of catching a cold."
Unable to resist Lu Weiwei's persistence, Gu Chen put on his coat with Lu Weiwei's help.
Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Didn't we agree last night? Everyone will be on duty for an hour and a half, and after an hour and a half, the next person will be replaced."
"But you..."
Glancing at Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha who were still sleeping, Lu Weiwei also said angrily: "But why didn't you wake us up?"
"I have good energy, and..."
Glancing at Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, Gu Chen returned his gaze to Lu Weiwei and said with a smile: "Besides, everyone is really tired. It's okay to take a good rest."
"Then can your body handle it?" Although I know that Gu Chen's body has always been strong.
But it was because of this that Lu Weiwei felt even more sorry for Gu Chen's hard work.
Thinking that everyone had been resting all night, but Gu Chen was the only one working the night shift, the feeling of guilt arose spontaneously in my heart.
Gu Chen sighed and said helplessly: "I don't mind if the attacker can be found as soon as possible."
"But now, for a whole night, there is no movement at the other end of the woods. I really don't know how this guy can carry it on?"
Looking up at the increasingly brightening sky, Gu Chen said again: "As soon as the sky breaks, the advantage will come back to us."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, also full of confidence.
But at this moment, Gu Chen's face suddenly stiffened and his ears trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei asked out of curiosity: "What's wrong, Junior Brother Gu?"
"There seems to be movement." Gu Chen said.
"There is movement, where is it?" Following Gu Chen's prompt, Lu Weiwei immediately looked towards the woods.
However, Gu Chen patted Lu Weiwei on the shoulder, pointed in the direction of the road everyone came from, and said: "Where is the noise coming from?"
"It came from the other side of the road we came from before?" Lu Weiwei was shocked when she heard this explanation. She quickly came to Yuan Shasha and Officer Wang and woke them up on the spot:
"Get up quickly, there's something going on!"
