"No...no, what happened just now? Gu Chen, did you hear it?" Officer Wang looked around alertly and quickly asked Gu Chen about the situation.
Gu Chen just nodded silently, but did not respond, and his eyes were wary of his surroundings.
After observing for a while, Officer Wang quickly got up from the ground and squatted down.
The two people's bright flashlights were also turned off at the same time.
At this moment, the surroundings were pitch black and the line of sight was severely obstructed.
"Gu Chen, be careful." Officer Wang approached Gu Chen and warned.
Gu Chen nodded silently and continued to use his master-level observation skills to pay attention to the movements around him.
At this moment, Gu Chen seemed to hear another scream, and then he was sure that it was someone calling: "It's those glasses, it should be that he is in danger."
Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately stood up and quickly turned on the flashlight to shine forward.
Upon seeing this, Officer Wang also began to tighten his grip on the mechanical baton. At this moment, both of them were on alert and began to walk forward.
Gu Chen speeded up his pace at first, and then turned to a trot. The area illuminated by the strong flashlight also kept shaking.
But when he came to a narrow position, Gu Chen stopped again and began to observe the surrounding environment.
Officer Wang followed up, also out of breath.
"Senior Brother Wang, this terrain is a bit complicated. Judging from the sound, it should be on the other side of this narrow area." Gu Chen also reminded.
Officer Wang frowned and warned Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, you must be careful. The terrain here is very unfavorable to us."
"If the scream just now was caused by the glasses, then he must have been attacked in the canyon, and it might be that wild animal." Officer Wang said nervously.
"Then we have to be quick." Gu Chen didn't care too much at the moment, thinking that the man with glasses might die unexpectedly, so he walked faster and chased towards that area.
Officer Wang dared to leave Gu Chen, so he immediately followed him.
The two of them passed through the narrow section of road quickly, and only then did Gu Chen realize that the area in front of them had become open.
Based on Gu Chen's previous judgment on the sheepskin map, there should be no markings here.
This means that this area is a real wilderness.
The light quickly swept around, and Gu Chen could observe the environment, but he didn't seem to find much.
At this time, Officer Wang found some footprints on the ground, so he quickly reminded Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, there are footprints on the ground."
"Maybe it's the glasses." Gu Chen squatted down on the spot, but his eyes were always alert to the front.
After there was nothing going on ahead, Gu Chen quickly looked at the footprints on the ground.
"Messy." Gu Chen said casually when he saw the footprints.
Officer Wang also said angrily: "What on earth did this guy think? He came to a place like this?"
"Even if you are in danger, you should not run to this type of area. You will definitely get lost."
"It would be great if he could run back. When encountering unexpected situations, the human brain sometimes does not think too much, but reacts instinctively." Gu Chen sighed and continued:
"So, maybe he just wanted to save his life at that time, so he didn't pay attention to the direction and just ran into the dark."
"But now, I don't know where this person has gone?" Officer Wang was still a little anxious.
After all, one of the two people before was dead and the other seriously injured, but for this man with glasses, neither Gu Chen nor Officer Wang dared to judge his condition.
The scream just now was heard by both of them.
Officer Wang asked Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, where do you think the place where he made the noise just now should be?"
"Ahead, about a hundred meters away." Gu Chen looked forward and said casually.
"Then go take a look? If we encounter a ferocious beast, we may fall into the tiger's mouth. You'd better be prepared." Of course Officer Wang also knew that the guy who attacked two outdoor travel companions was definitely not easy to mess with.
Just looking at the wounds on those two people was terrifying enough.
Judging from the wounds, the opponent must have a pair of sharp claws like blades.
If this is scratched on the body, it is really either death or disability, and the resistance will soon be lost.
Of course Officer Wang knew this, so he was very nervous.
Gu Chen reminded him, "Senior Brother Wang, calm down, you have to know what that thing is."
"Okay." Officer Wang nodded silently.
Gu Chen asked again: "Did you bring the domestic crack gun?"
Officer Wang nodded silently, then squatted down close to Gu Chen, began to take out the equipment from his backpack, and began to fasten it around his waist.
After completing the equipment preparation, Officer Wang patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said, "That's it."
"Let's go." Gu Chen also stood up at this moment and began to walk forward.
Not far away, Gu Chen discovered some blood stains on the ground. The blood was mixed with the footprints.
Gu Chen looked around again and found that the footprints were beginning to look messy. Gu Chen reminded him, "Senior Brother Wang, there may have just been a fight here."
"Yes." Officer Wang also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "It seems that the glasses were stained with this thing, and may have suffered some losses and shed some blood."
"Keep walking." Gu Chen took a deep breath and began to slow down.
Every next step seemed to be a torment, because he didn't know what that thing was? So Gu Chen didn't dare to move forward rashly, otherwise he would be irresponsible for his own life and that of Officer Wang.
But when Gu Chen and Officer Wang advanced nearly 50 meters, they found a backpack in front of them.
Gu Chen quickly quickened his pace, and when he came to the backpack, he realized that it was the man with glasses who was being carried by the backpack.
At this moment, there seem to be some scratches on the backpack.
The wound conditions were consistent with those of the two people Gu Chen met before.
Officer Wang looked at the scratched outdoor backpack and said angrily: "It seems that thing has already attacked the glasses. There are such sharp scratches on the backpack. If it were scratched on the body, the skin would be torn apart."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, Officer Wang also took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said:
"What kind of beast is this thing?"
"It's hard to judge now." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he opened the bespectacled man's backpack and checked the contents inside.
Gu Chen found that there were some outdoor supplies and first aid kits inside.
Since when Gu Chen and others entered the mountain, they decided to come here to help at short notice, so they all unloaded their relatively heavy luggage and chose to travel light.
Therefore, there are not many items in the backpack, and this backpack was obviously scratched by an unknown creature during the fight.
So Gu Chen judged based on the traces that the blood stains he just found might be the scratches the bespectacled man had when he was attacked.
However, since the backpack blocked the attack of the unknown creature, the wound on the man with glasses at this moment should not be very big. It might just be scratched by a sharp claw on the edge of the backpack.
The smart man with glasses chose to throw away his backpack and escape lightly.
Since it was difficult to find traces of blood on the ground, Gu Chen felt that the bespectacled man's injuries were not serious.
And he was also on the run.
As for whether the unknown creature was chasing after him? Gu Chen couldn't tell, but he felt that he was following closely behind.
Since it had not been long since he heard the noise, Gu Chen judged that the man with glasses had not gone very far, at least he could still walk normally now.
Gu Chen clenched the mechanical baton in his hand, also holding a strong flashlight, and continued to move forward and made a tactical search action.
Once he encounters an unknown creature, Gu Chen can use a strong flashlight to turn on the flash mode to suppress the eyes of the unknown creature.
Officer Wang is equipped with a domestically produced crack gun, which can be of great use at critical moments.
The two of them continued to move forward, one behind the other.
At this moment, Gu Chen discovered that the canyon seemed to have reached the end, and there was another pile of rocks ahead.
Officer Wang was stunned, and quickly looked in the direction behind him. He was also puzzled: "Could we be going in the opposite direction? Could it be that we have returned to the pile of rocks we walked through before?"
"No." Gu Chen quickly shook his head in denial and explained: "When we came, we did not pass through the same road section just now, which means that this is another location."
"But there is also a rubble barrier here. If we can't get out, we may be trapped and die inside. Moreover, the rubble barrier here seems to be higher than the one we passed before."
At this moment, Officer Wang felt helpless with this rocky terrain. After all, it really looked like a maze.
Gu Chen didn't say much, squatted down on the spot, and began to take out the drone from his backpack. After starting it, he directly released the drone and pushed it towards the pile of rocks.
Not long after, Officer Wang discovered the vertical topography of the rocks on Gu Chen's remote control display.
However, Gu Chen kept searching above the rubble, but did not find the figure of the man.
Not only that, there were no unknown creatures around.
Gu Chen frowned and continued to fly the drone forward, but no matter how far it flew, he still found no trace of the man with the eyes.
"It's weird." After Gu Chen saw what was happening on the display screen, his heart skipped a beat, as if he didn't understand.
Officer Wang on the side was also puzzled: "This person could still hear the noise just now, but why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Where did he go?"
"The first possibility is that in a state of embarrassment, he walked directly through the pile of rocks and escaped from the tracking of the unknown creature."
"There is another possibility that it is still hidden under the vegetation in the rubble. After all, the rubble is still covered with various trees."
"The leaves of these trees will provide all kinds of cover."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Officer Wang on the side quickly reminded: "The second possibility is more likely. Maybe the glasses are hiding in the rocks, and the unknown creature is also likely to be lurking there."
"Because the trees in the rubble blocked the line of sight, neither the man with the eyes nor the unknown creature could find each other."
"In other words, both sides are lurking, one wants to escape, and the other wants to catch the target."
"But our drone flew overhead and made a lot of noise. If the glasses were hidden in the rocks, he should be able to see it," Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang quickly reminded: "But now the possibility is that as soon as he makes a noise or leaves the cover of vegetation, he is likely to be quickly discovered by unknown creatures."
"So you may not dare to move these glasses."
"Then let's go look for it." After Gu Chen took pictures of the terrain of the rocks, he directly took back the drone.
After putting away the equipment, Gu Chen began to choose the entry route based on the map captured by the drone.
After simulating the picture twice, Gu Chen stood up and prepared to walk into the rubble in front of him.
Officer Wang followed Gu Chen closely and asked in a low voice: "Is it possible? Can you guarantee that you won't get lost?"
"No, after all, the terrain there is very complicated. There are several ways to get out. It's hard to tell if you'll get lost or something, but I'll try my best to ensure that I can pass it smoothly."
"As long as you say this." Although Gu Chen's statement was relatively conservative, when Officer Wang heard this, he felt that with Gu Chen's super memory, he would definitely be able to find the route on the map, and he no longer had to worry about getting lost.
problem.
But what Officer Wang is most worried about now is the unknown creature, which is currently ambushing under the vegetation in the chaotic world.
He and Gu Chen were just sweeping around with flashlights in such a grand manner, which would obviously expose the target.
But at this moment, without the illumination of the flashlight, the two of them would be unable to move at all.
Thinking that he had to keep up with Gu Chen's pace, Officer Wang took a deep breath and tried to adjust his breathing rhythm.
Only then did he start to keep up with Gu Chen's pace.
This time, the two of them were extremely careful when entering the rock formation.
Officer Wang found a small stone and just followed Gu Chen. Whenever he had to turn, Officer Wang would use the stone in his hand to carve marks on the rocks at the corners of the pile of rocks.
In this way, it is conservatively estimated that we can get out based on the traces.
"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
When their legs are on the ground, they will notice some faint movement.
At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky.
Strangely, with the strong wind, there was suddenly a scream.
Gu Chen frowned and stopped quickly, while Officer Wang pricked up his ears and asked nervously: "Are they those glasses?"
"No, it doesn't quite look like it." Gu Chen paused briefly and continued to listen to the goings on around him.
But what he heard at this time was similar to the scream he heard before, but it seemed different.
Officer Wang's hands were trembling nervously, and the handle of the domestic crack gun he was holding began to break out in cold sweat.
"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath." Officer Wang kept reminding himself so that his body could relax as much as possible.
At this time, Gu Chen, after observing for a while, stood up straight and said slowly:
"This is not a human noise."
"No...it's not a human noise, what kind of noise is it?" Officer Wang felt very puzzled when he heard it.
But Gu Chen said calmly: "It's a stone. It's the strange movement made by the wind blowing on the stone."
