Chapter 42 Is it accidental or inevitable?
However, this emotion did not last long. When the car continued to drive forward for another four or five kilometers, Lin Chuchu began to fall into self-doubt.
"System, you are not kidding me, are you? Can it be that far off?"
"There are only two possibilities now. One is that we are going in the wrong direction, and the other is that the variants are also on the move."
"..." Lin Chuchu choked. Is it okay if the direction is reversed?
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat stagnant. Chen Jiawen in the front seat kept glancing at the rearview mirror. Where on earth were they going?
"Captain, are we..." Lin Chuchu was about to speak with difficulty, wondering if we were going in the wrong direction, when the system sounded an alarm, "There is a mutant within five kilometers, it is moving, and the fluctuations are disappearing very quickly... It is out of the detection range."
Lin Chuchu grabbed Lu Feng's arm and said anxiously, "I sensed it, but it ran away! I don't know which direction it ran to..."
The tablet in Lu Feng's hand was displaying a satellite map. He used two fingers to zoom in and out, zoom in and out again. After doing this twice, he said in a deep voice, "Liangzi, drive along the river."
"Roger that, Captain!"
The car speed obviously increased again. Lin Chuchu didn't know why they had to drive along the river, but she believed in Lu Feng's ability.
She was concentrating on waiting for the system's prompt, and her fingers tightened involuntarily. It was not until she felt someone was watching her that she realized she had been holding Lu Feng's arm without letting go.
Lin Chuchu let go of him in a panic and leaned back. In that position just now, half of her body was pressed against him...
Fortunately, it was only awkward for two seconds. "Host, there is a mutant within five kilometers. Don't stop the car. It's moving."
Lin Chuchu immediately repeated loudly, "We caught up with it, but it's still moving..."
Liangzi glanced at the speedometer and saw that the speed was approaching 140 miles per hour. Although the riverside tourist road had just been built not long ago and the road condition was very good, it was not a highway after all. Their speed was already very dangerous!
"Captain, we can't go any faster. Should we ask Team 2 to catch up? We can't be sure where it is right now."
After Liangzi finished his report, Chen Jiawen kept his hand on the headset, waiting for the captain to nod so that he could make the announcement immediately. Unexpectedly, Lu Feng suddenly turned his head and stared at Lin Chuchu, with a strong sense of oppression, "Where do you think it will be?"
Lin Chuchu met his sharp eyes and her lips trembled, "I think...it might be in the river..."
Then she saw a smile flash across his eyes. Lu Feng retracted his gaze and looked forward, saying coldly, "Pull over to the side of the road. I'll go down to investigate. Tell the second team to follow up!"
"receive!"
"receive!"
Seeing that Lin Chuchu still had a frightened expression on her face, the man raised the corners of his mouth under the mask and pointed at the earphones, "Stay in the car and don't move. If you find anything, feel free to communicate."
Before the car slowed down and stopped, the person flipped out. Lin Chuchu was so shocked that she immediately looked out the window. A black figure landed on the ground and quickly rushed towards the riverside and soon disappeared...
After Lin Jiawen gathered his teammates, he saw Lin Chuchu still looking out the window and comforted her, "Don't worry, these are the captain's routine operations."
Routine operation...awesome!
Members of the second team quickly caught up. Many people got out of the carriage and were well-trained and deployed separately. The technicians used handheld antenna systems to receive magnetic field signals.
Lin Jiawen instructed, "Chu Chu, stay here and don't move. Liangzi and I will go to provide support."
"I know. I won't cause any trouble for you."
Lin Chuchu watched their actions with great interest in the car. They communicated with each other only through gestures, quietly and quickly. When the team members gradually dispersed and hid, she came to her senses and realized that she seemed to have walked into the wrong set again...
After a while, an urgent voice suddenly came from the headset, "Captain! The magnetic field has been confirmed! It's in the direction where we get off the bus."
Lin Chuchu's head suddenly buzzed with blood, things in front of her eyes spun wildly, her chest felt like it was hit hard, and she fell down.
"Host, alarm! Alarm! Danger! Please escape immediately!"
"Host! Alarm! Alarm..."
Lin Chuchu opened the car door out of her instinctive desire to survive and fell out with a thud.
The overlapping voices in the headphones were indistinct and getting farther and farther away from her...
When something swam towards her in the grass in groups, there was only one word in her mind: pawn.
——
Lu Feng was observing along the river bank. Despite his height and long legs, he walked on the lawn so quietly that almost no sound could be heard. Suddenly he squatted down and raised his hand to feel the grass. It was wet and slippery, with fishy mucus.
Something has come ashore!
"Captain! The magnetic field has been confirmed! It's in the direction where we got off the car."
He stood up suddenly and pressed the headset, "Chen Jiawen, report your current location. Please reply if you receive it."
"Report to the captain, Liangzi and I are in Xiaoxilin."
"Where's Lin Chuchu?"
There was a pause over there, and then someone said anxiously, "Lin Chuchu is still in the car!"
Lu Feng moved and ran back the same way.
Lin Jiawen's several calls fell on deaf ears, with no response at all.
Lu Feng's speed has reached the extreme, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, the wind whistling past his ears, leaving only a trail of afterimage.
That fragile yet stubborn little girl...
