Chapter 275: Digging Three Feet Deep
Not long after Lou Gu'an left, Liu Yu led the Spark Team out of the wooden house and rushed to the black forest he mentioned.
Xu Wei pointed to the edge of the black forest where they had circled yesterday. The attackers' hideout was also on the edge of the black forest and they had not entered the interior.
Xu Shuyao followed behind and did not interrupt when she saw Xu Wei describing what they had discovered in detail. She carefully peeked at Xia Huai, whose face was still a little pale.
She had a hunch that Xia Huai didn't want to reveal to anyone why he'd hurt himself the previous night, so she considerately didn't mention it. But looking at his long hair reaching his eyes, she couldn't help but show concern for this younger brother. She whispered, "Xia Huai, your hair's getting longer again. How about I give you a haircut when we take a break? I'm pretty good at it. Look, I cut Xu Wei's hair. It's pretty good, isn't it?"
Before Xia Huai could reply, Li Guangzong, who was standing aside waiting for Liu Yuding to decide the direction, took a quick look at Xu Wei's bundled hair and burst out laughing.
"I was wondering why Xu Wei always wore her hair in a ponytail, but suddenly tied it up these days. Did you twist her hair so much that it looks like it's been chewed by a dog?"
Xu Shuyao felt like hitting Li Guangzong, who looked like he deserved a beating. Her eyes narrowed in anger, and she raised her fist only when she saw Xu Yang behind him shaking his head and begging her.
"Kid, if you can't talk, just sew your mouth shut. If it weren't for your brother Xu Yang's face, you'd be getting a beating from me right now! I told you not to talk too much!"
Li Guangzong glanced back at Xu Yang, then turned back and stuck out his tongue at Xu Shuyao, saying, "What's wrong? The governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps. You've pissed me off quite a lot, huh!"
Xu Yang saw that his teammates were either scouting the terrain or packing their luggage, while these two lively guys were making a lot of noise.
Seeing that Xu Shuyao was about to explode, he placed his palm on the top of Li Guangzong's fluffy hair and said in a low voice, "Stop talking."
Li Guangzong felt the "threat" above his head and somehow became intimidated. He stole a glance at Xu Yang and stopped talking.
Xu Shuyao glared at him. "Serves you right! Someone will always punish you!"
While these two seemingly immature guys were bickering, Xia Huai's fingertips, pale to the point of being almost transparent, were pulling at the fine black hair in front of her eyes.
The familiar face with slicked-back hair in the pool of blood came to mind again. His jaw tightened and he blurted out, "No... I like long hair."
Xu Shuyao, who had just been glaring at Li Guangzong angrily, was suddenly stunned when she heard Xia Huai's reply and didn't react.
The next moment, Xia Huai brushed past her and went straight to where Liu Yuzhuang Mo Xing was standing to help.
The cold wind blew up a few strands of black hair in front of his forehead, revealing his eyes that were faintly filled with fear and confusion.
Xu Shuyao inadvertently looked into Xia Huai's deep and hesitant eyes, and was swept up in the emotions in them, and her heart ached unconsciously.
Only after Xia Huai completely left her sight did she gradually calm down.
She stood there in a daze for a few seconds, then looked up and locked eyes with Xia Huai's aloof back. What secret did this seemingly steady brother, who was actually much younger than her, carry?
Over there, following Xu Wei's suggestion, Liu Yu also connected the black forest in front of him with the national protected forest on the map.
Judging from the maps in their hands.
If they followed the goal Lou Gu'an told them, they would inevitably deviate from their final destination - City B.
Therefore, they had no choice but to pass through the center of the black forest to correct their original direction.
After passing through this vast black forest, they can reach City B faster. This pre-apocalyptic national protected forest is actually the straightest road leading to City B.
It was not opened before the end of the world, but now, by some strange coincidence, one can travel freely through it, but it is extremely dangerous.
"Whether it's dangerous or not, it's the only option right now. Let's go into the forest."
Liu Yu called on the most capable members of the team and asked them to lead three teams according to the original plan. She, Zhuang Moxing, and Xia Huaiwen were at the head of the team.
The next moment, the Spark Team, fully equipped with protective equipment, quickly took action.
There were many trees in the forest and the space was narrow, making it extremely difficult to drive a vehicle, so they did not use snowmobiles.
Just before departure, Xia Huai condensed three long pieces of solid ice on the snow surface. The Spark Team, divided into three teams, arranged in a column and stepped onto them one by one.
Afterwards, Xia Huai used the thin snow on the ground of the Black Forest to slide and quickly shuttled into the dense forest. Xu Shuyao also added water energy to assist in preventing Xia Huai from consuming too much of his special ability.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Spark Team flew into the dimly lit black forest at high speed, heading straight for the darkest area in the center.
As they rushed into the black forest with extremely dense vegetation, the black vegetation and trees left behind them slowly moved.
In an instant, all traces of their passage were wiped out.
The gaps through which a group of people could just pass were quietly covered by various unknown vegetation entangled together, and there was no sign of human passage at all.
Half an hour later, when the tracking team from Wu Ma Base arrived here following various traces, they could not find any trace of the Spark Team.
All the steps and clues were suddenly cut off here!
A row of snowmobiles braked suddenly in front of the dark forest, sweeping up a cloud of snow. The leader of the tracking team jumped out of the car with a red and ferocious face.
Staring angrily at the clue that was broken at the edge of the black forest, he raised his hand and released a giant wind blade that hit the black forest hard. More than a dozen black trees collapsed in an instant.
"Search! Dig three feet deep to find those who dared to kill Young Master Wu Ma!"
A group of tracking team members, their fingers trembling as they stared at the mysterious Heilin, suppressed the saliva welling up in their throats and shouted in agreement, "Yes!"
