White mist shrouded the dense forest. Gu Chen and the others kept shuttling through the jungle, looking for the way they came based on their previous directions.
However, the road that could be seen clearly before now became hazy, and the visibility quickly dropped to a range of five meters.
The leading police officer, Wang, suddenly stopped and was unable to identify the specific location, so he turned to look at Gu Chen:
"Gu Chen, you have a better memory. Look, where did we come from just now?"
"This way." Gu Chen has a master-level memory and has a unique advantage in finding paths.
"Okay, then you can lead the way." Officer Wang gave up his position.
Although he is also a master of jungle survival, he still cannot control the overall situation when facing harsh environments.
In addition, because he and Gu Chen had acted together in the jungle many times, Officer Wang knew that leaving the road exploration work to Gu Chen was the wisest decision.
Gu Chen also obliged and walked directly to the crowd. Then he glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him and reminded:
"Senior Sister Lu, you and Senior Brother Wang must follow me closely later. You must not stop. It is best to grab my clothes."
"Understood." Knowing that Gu Chen could not be distracted at this moment so that Gu Chen could concentrate on exploring the road, Lu Weiwei directly grabbed the corner of Gu Chen's clothes, then looked at Officer Wang behind her and said:
"Old Wang, grab my clothes."
"Understood." Officer Wang took a deep breath and grabbed the corner of Lu Weiwei's clothes.
Therefore, the three of them formed a path exploration formation. Gu Chen concentrated on exploring the path ahead, while Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang followed closely behind, shining flashlights on the left and right from time to time.
It can be said that in the dense forest, the light is not good, so you need to rely on flashlight light to move forward.
But now we encountered thick fog, which made it very difficult for everyone to search in the jungle.
Of course, Gu Chen also knew that he should not show off his strength, so he could only choose to give up and return the way he came.
With his master-level memory, Gu Chen kept looking for the way back.
However, when Gu Chen reached a certain location, he suddenly stopped.
Lu Weiwei, who was following closely behind, saw this and asked out of curiosity: "Junior Brother Gu, what's wrong?"
"There is a situation." Gu Chen frowned and said slowly.
Lu Weiwei looked around and shone a flashlight around her, also looking confused: "Is there something going on? Isn't it? It seems quiet around here."
"Yes, Gu Chen, are you lost?" Officer Wang was most worried about Gu Chen getting lost.
Of course, Officer Wang had confidence in Gu Chen's memory, but in the face of such an extreme environment, occasional mistakes seemed to be justified.
But Gu Chen shook his head and said with some confusion: "That's strange. According to the way we came here before, we should have gone this way."
"However, I clearly remember that when I came, I tied a plant thorn to the position of this tree trunk as a mark."
"But now, the plant wattle has disappeared."
"What did you say? Missing?" When Officer Wang heard this, he was stunned.
Lu Weiwei looked around, and after helping Gu Chen search for it, she also said in disbelief: "No way? Could it be tied too loosely and fall to the ground?"
"I've already looked for it just now." Gu Chen took a deep breath and said in disbelief:
"But there is nothing under this tree."
"Could it be that we are looking in the wrong direction? Maybe that plant wattle is tied to another tree?" Officer Wang also proposed a new possibility for Gu Chen.
But Gu Chen shook his head, then pointed to the plants on the ground and explained:
"Senior Brother Wang, look at these plants, they all have obvious signs of falling. These are the marks we made with our feet when we came here."
"Moreover, when I was searching for the path ahead, I even trampled some plants in pieces so that I could use the broken marks of these plants to find the path when I couldn't find my direction."
Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Officer Wang continued to squint his eyes, then shined a flashlight in a circle, and then said with a shocked face:
"Really, these plants were all trampled by us, which means we must have been here before."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Officer Wang continued: "But, since we came from here, where did the mark we made go?"
"Could...could someone have dismantled it?" Lu Weiwei cautiously put forward a new opinion.
When Officer Wang heard this, he immediately retorted: "Lu Weiwei, don't scare me, there are only a few of us here, is there anyone else?"
"But, since the plant stems and vines were not demolished by others, where did the plant stems and vines go?"
"Old Wang, you must be clear. I saw with my own eyes that Junior Brother Gu knotted every plant stem and vine repeatedly so that it would not fall off easily, and it was still tightly knotted. I saw all this.
inner."
Lu Weiwei also stood up for Gu Chen's injustice.
Because Lu Weiwei saw every detail of Gu Chen's exploration.
Coupled with Gu Chen's super memory, Lu Weiwei has long been accustomed to it.
A super powerful brain like Gu Chen would never make such a mistake.
In addition, Gu Chen mentioned that every time he went to a marked location, he would deliberately step down a few plants on the ground. As a basis, it is not difficult to see that this place has indeed been visited by everyone before.
At this moment, a cold wind blew in the dense forest.
Various weeds began to rustle and make noises.
The leaves began to rustle, making the whole forest look extremely strange.
Officer Wang couldn't help but move closer to Lu Weiwei, and said with concern: "Could it be that we are being followed?"
"Someone has been following us and tampered with the places we marked, removing all the vine markers that Gu Chen had put up before?"
"It's not impossible." Lu Weiwei now believes in her own judgment.
Being in this kind of dense forest is quite weird in itself.
In addition, those marking totems that everyone saw in the jungle hut are actually icons that guide the direction.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now, everyone is looking for the icon location, but they encounter such a strange thing, which makes Lu Weiwei doubtful about the surrounding environment.
"Stop talking." Gu Chen made a silent sign to everyone, and then lowered his tone and whispered:
"Now we don't know, besides the three of us, is there anyone else in this dense forest?"
"If there is, and it is even causing damage to us, then we need to be more vigilant and not let the other party take advantage of the loophole."
"That's right." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei also reminded: "From now on, while we are looking for the way we came, we should pay more attention to the movements around us."
Officer Wang held his mechanical baton in his hand and took a deep breath and said: "I'll cut off the back for you. Lu Weiwei, please help Gu Chen pay attention to both sides and the front."
"Understood." Lu Weiwei agreed.
"Gu Chen." After explaining Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang said again:
"You are responsible for concentrating on exploring the road. You don't have to worry about the rest. Just leave it to me and Lu Weiwei."
"We have a clear division of labor and must leave this hellish place as soon as possible."
"Understood." After receiving Officer Wang's suggestion, Gu Chen felt relieved and began to focus on finding the way back.
Although the marks he had made were gone, luckily Gu Chen still had some skills left. He had been searching the road and deliberately trampled some plants as traces.
In this way, even if there is no mark, Gu Chen can still find the way he came based on the direction where the plant fell.
Heavy fog began to spread around, and visibility became lower and lower.
As the cool breeze blows, the sounds of various plants rubbing against each other are endless throughout the jungle.
Coupled with the dim environment, everything here is full of weirdness.
Gu Chen held a bright flashlight in his left hand and a mechanical baton in his right hand, and kept exploring the path in the grass.
Fortunately, the police high-light flashlight has a strong enough light source.
No matter how thick the fog is in front of you, it can still penetrate a certain distance.
This made Gu Chen feel somewhat comfortable in the process of exploring the road.
"Rustling."
He didn't know how long he had been walking when Gu Chen suddenly stopped.
Upon seeing this, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang immediately began to alert the surrounding area.
"Sure enough, someone is causing damage." Gu Chen looked around, pointed at the branches of one of the big trees, and reminded:
"I remembered before that this was also the place where I marked it, but I didn't expect that the plant stems and vines that tied the branches were missing."
"Obviously, someone deliberately removed these markers, and someone deliberately hindered our search for Zhou Xiaotong's whereabouts."
"Are we being targeted?" Lu Weiwei looked around and said warily.
Officer Wang was silent for a few seconds, and then expressed his opinion: "Gu Chen, could it be that our investigation of Zhou Xiaotong in this area was leaked, so we were followed?"
"Didn't we tell Boss Cyclops about this before? Later we found Zhang Da, Zhuang Qiang, and Zhuang Qiang's apprentices."
"Someone among these people must have leaked the information about our search for Zhou Xiaotong, so every move we make here may be seen by the so-called inviter."
"So, after we entered the mountains at night, the inviter followed us secretly, paying close attention to our specific movements."
"And when the inviter discovered that we had been to the jungle hut, he found the direction of the valley based on the totems on the wall of the jungle hut."
"So in order to destroy us, that person continued to look for us, and secretly acted in the places where we had made marks to destroy our marks."
"But in this case, wouldn't it be difficult for that person to identify the direction? Or maybe that person is a local and is very familiar with this area, especially this dense forest. Even without these marks, he can successfully walk out of the forest?
"Lu Weiwei also expressed her opinions one by one.
Gu Chen agreed: "What Senior Sister Lu said is very likely. The inviter may be a local."
"Furthermore, I suspect that we passed by this guy and had interactions with him when we were investigating Zhou Xiaotong in this area before."
"In addition, this person must be very familiar with this dense forest. Even if there is no need to mark it, he can come and go freely."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "But we can't. We are in the light now, and the other party is in the dark. He is causing us trouble."
"Could it be that this guy is still lurking around us, secretly observing our movements?" Lu Weiwei said nervously.
Officer Wang replied with a smile: "Not necessarily, that guy may want to follow us secretly, but now there is heavy fog in the mountains, and the visibility is so low, even if you want to follow us, it will be difficult."
"The heavy fog now has two sides, I think. On the one hand, it blocks our way back and adds a lot of trouble to us."
"But at the same time, it can also serve as a cover for us, so that we can keep a distance from that guy."
"This may be a good thing for both parties."
"Harmful." Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen with some depression, but just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Gu Chen's silent sign language.
So Lu Weiwei quickly looked around cautiously.
Gu Chen didn't pause at all, immediately grabbed Lu Weiwei's arm and started walking quickly forward.
Officer Wang was alone and saw that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had walked a few meters away. Without saying a word, he quickly followed them.
Gu Chen's walking this time was obviously faster than before, and there was no communication during the whole process.
Lu Weiwei couldn't even keep up with Gu Chen's pace, and Officer Wang was also a little behind the pace by the sudden speed.
Fortunately, he was able to grab the hem of Lu Weiwei's clothes, and then he stumbled all the way to keep up with the team.
"Rustling!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In the jungle, the cool breeze blew through the plants, making various noises.
And this kind of noise covered up the movement of Gu Chen's team very well.
Gu Chen ran quickly along the way, but when he came to a fork in the road, he suddenly stopped.
After observing left and right, he quickly pulled Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang towards a big tree.
Then, he asked Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang to get into a vegetation in the woods, while he quickly and manually adjusted the position of the plant stems and vines that had just been crushed.
Create the illusion that everyone is walking forward.
After completing all the arrangements, Gu Chen kept retreating and adjusting the plants under his feet, trying to make the plants look more natural and not show signs of artificial breakage.
After completing the operation, Gu Chen retreated to where Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were lurking, and quickly maintained a quiet state.
At this moment, Gu Chen's flashlight light also went out.
Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei looked at each other and immediately understood what Gu Chen meant.
The flashlight lights of the two people also quickly went out.
After a while, Lu Weiwei asked Gu Chen in a low voice: "Junior Brother Gu, are you waiting for that guy to show up?"
Gu Chen nodded slightly and whispered back: "I suspect that that guy is still in the jungle, and he has been following us."
"If I don't find this guy and go back like this, I feel like this trip will be in vain."
"That's right." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Officer Wang echoed in a low voice:
"Since this guy wants to follow us, why don't we do a counter-tracking and catch this guy out?"
