While dealing with the other party, Zhou Tong kept an eye on the time. Finally, when he saw that five minutes had passed, he immediately said to them, "Oh, it seems your people have already found our location! Let's see if you can catch up faster or we can run faster! Oh, by the way, just a reminder, I've set up quite a few booby traps nearby. Tell your team to be careful. That's all, see you later!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong hung up the walkie-talkie, then opened the back cover and removed all the batteries.
Let's go!
Lu Yuan nodded, slung his already packed backpack over his shoulder, and then followed Zhou Tong toward their agreed-upon location.
The agreed meeting point was more than ten kilometers away from them. Although it wasn't very far, in this icy and snowy environment without any lights, ten kilometers was considered a relatively safe distance.
Lu Yuan had previously collected a lot of equipment in the underground bunker, including a considerable number of night vision goggles, binoculars, and portable individual night vision devices. Therefore, knowing that this mission was quite dangerous, Lu Yuan equipped all team members with one.
In the pitch-black, snowy world, Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong sped toward their destination, stopping every now and then to check their surroundings and avoid being discovered.
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but turn his head and take a look.
"They really stepped on a landmine!"
Zhou Tong glanced at the time, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Don't underestimate these people. I only set up this booby trap to mislead them. They definitely know we couldn't have buried a large number of booby traps nearby! It took them almost ten minutes to discover this one, which means they deliberately detonated it!"
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's analysis, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly, because he really couldn't understand anything and didn't know how Zhou Tong had come up with his analysis.
Before long, the two arrived at the designated location, a place Zhou Tong had carefully chosen to escape to.
Now they were not facing ordinary soldiers, but a special forces unit with rich combat experience, and one that was very famous in the world. Although Zhou Tong had always emphasized that China's special forces were the best, he dared not be careless in the face of an unknown enemy.
So the two waited quietly in place, while Zhou Tong began to constantly observe the nearby places where they could hide.
"Come on, there's a small building over there, let's go there!"
Lu Yuan followed the other party to the three-story building that had been abandoned for who knows how long, and went all the way to the top floor.
Zhou Tong took two pillows from a bedroom on the second floor and handed them to Lu Yuan.
"Use this mat, it's too cold in the snow! My arms can't take it if I lie down for too long!"
Lu Yuan nodded, but after taking a closer look at the pillow Zhou Tong handed him, he felt nauseous: "Old Zhou, you should do it yourself. This thing is covered in mushrooms! It smells awful! I can't stand it!"
Zhou Tong smiled and said, "That's better than having your arms frozen!"
After speaking, the other party gestured to Lu Yuan again.
"Forget it, I'll get you something clean from another dimension! This thing is filthy! Just throw it away!"
Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment: "Holy crap, why didn't you say so earlier! I'm about to vomit!"
Then, Zhou Tong tossed the pillow aside with a look of disgust: "I almost forgot you had this ability! Why did I bother looking for a pillow!"
"Haha! Come on!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan directly took out two waterproof blankets from his dimensional space. He had bought them online before, and they were essential for traveling, especially when camping. Having a waterproof blanket was very important.
After the two laid out the blanket, Lu Yuan quietly observed the entrance to the town with binoculars.
"Brother, looking here is useless. Do you think anyone would walk through the town entrance?"
"Huh? Isn't there only one road?"
"Sometimes there are no roads in the world, but they become roads after someone walks on them! If I'm not mistaken, our people probably won't go in the direction of the entrance."
As Zhou Tong spoke, he glanced at several other nearby locations where enemies might appear.
Lu Yuan was puzzled, but he knew that the enemy wouldn't be so foolish as to come in from the entrance.
When he was bored, Lu Yuan kept thinking about one question: which member was the one codenamed Cactus?
"Old Zhou, who's that guy codenamed Cactus?"
Zhou Tong, holding a night-vision telescope, stared blankly at a building to the east for a moment, but without turning around, he said directly, "I don't know."
"What? You don't know which ones they are either?"
"Of course! It was pitch black, how could I possibly see their faces clearly! Anyway, that guy didn't seem very tall, maybe around 1.7 meters. Oh, right, he's an investigator!"
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, Lu Yuan was immediately stunned by what the last investigator had said.
"A scout? We don't think we have any scouts in our team!"
Haha! You're only realizing it now?
Lu Yuan was puzzled: "Old Zhou, are you hiding something from me? I feel like I'm the one doing this!"
Seeing that Lu Yuan was a little angry, Zhou Tong quickly explained, "Ahem, brother, don't be angry. I didn't mean it. I just wanted to show you what it means to remain calm in the face of adversity. On the battlefield, things may not be as they seem. Even the information you finally obtained may be false!"
