Chapter 380 Meeting
And so, they didn't know how long they stayed in the mountains.
Three o'clock in the morning.
Ferry, who was looking for a smuggling boat, returned to the shack, only to find it deserted. Just as he was wondering what to do, two men suddenly appeared behind him and pinned him to the ground.
Ferry, who was suddenly pressed to the ground, subconsciously turned his head and immediately saw the military uniform worn by the person behind him.
Seeing their military uniforms gave me a jolt.
How did these Chinese soldiers find them so quickly?
Shen Mo walked out from behind the two soldiers and looked around the shack.
The shack was not only dilapidated, but also showed signs of a struggle.
After observing for a while, his gaze settled on the window.
There were some marks on the dusty window, as if they were left when someone climbed out of the window.
Shen Mo's eyes were bloodshot. He knew his wife was clever, and perhaps they had found a chance to escape, but he couldn't gamble.
From the moment he learned of his wife's arrest, he remained constantly vigilant.
Shen Mo quickly deduced that the people who were originally in the shack must have jumped out of the window and gone into the mountains.
Shen Mo said, "They've gone into the mountains. Everyone, go into the mountains to search, but keep it low-key."
The moment he finished speaking, Shen Mo took the lead and jumped out of the window.
As night fell, the jungle became pitch black and visibility was extremely low, but the men Shen Mo brought all had extensive experience in jungle warfare and could find their way even in the dark.
As they entered the jungle, Shen Mo looked at the footprints on the ground, his heart pounding.
He is now certain that his wife and Xu Jin have run away into the mountains.
The footprints on the ground made it easier for them to track the trail.
As they ventured deeper into the mountains, Shen Mo and his group discovered numerous snake carcasses along the way.
Not only that, but some snakes were also approaching them.
Shen Mo noticed that there were many snake-bed grasses next to the snake's corpse. He had overheard his wife asking their daughter to identify medicinal herbs earlier.
Recognize that this *Cnidium monnieri* is a plant that snakes like.
These foreigners certainly don't recognize these plants, so the only plausible explanation is that the wife attracted these snakes.
His wife usually has a lot of clever ideas, and her wit is no less than his.
All these signs indicate that they should be safe now.
Meanwhile, those foreigners are also looking for them. What they need to do is find them before those foreigners do, or kill them before they find them.
Following these footprints can help determine their direction.
Judging from the footprints, these people are unfamiliar with the mountains, which is why they walk so slowly.
But if they wanted to outflank the foreigners from both sides before they could, they would have to take a detour.
Walking in the mountains cannot stop the Chinese soldiers in the slightest.
Shen Mo used the lushness of the trees to determine the location and found another way to bypass them, thus intercepting the foreigners before they could get there.
Meanwhile, the other team continued to follow the footprints to find the location of the foreigners.
Meanwhile, David and the others had already been taken for a walk around the mountains by Xu Jin and Jiang Ning.
They hadn't expected these two women to be so at ease in the mountains, leading them through snake dens the whole way.
And to their astonishment, the snakes only stared at them and didn't approach the two women.
At this moment, David finally realized that they were stalling for time.
As time dragged on, a growing unease began to creep into his heart.
If these two women hold out until reinforcements arrive, their entire squad will likely be wiped out.
He has always been decisive.
He had lost his patience and shouted, "Everyone load up! Shoot anyone you see! Don't hesitate! Once you've killed your target, retreat immediately!"
"yes!"
Jiang Ning and Xu Jin weren't far behind them, and when they heard that the other side hadn't lowered their voices, their expressions darkened.
After leading them around in circles for so long, these people finally couldn't hold back any longer and resorted to desperate measures.
David shouted, "Dr. Jiang, I know you can hear me. I'm giving you one more chance. If you come out right now, I won't kill you. But if you keep running, things might get complicated."
Hearing the harsh words the other party uttered, Jiang Ning and Xu Jin chose not to appear, but instead continued to move into the mountains.
However, just as they jumped over a rock, a bullet whizzed past Jiang Ning.
If she hadn't dodged quickly, the bullet would have hit her.
At that moment, all they could do was run.
David and his men chased after them with guns, but luckily it was dark, which made their shooting inaccurate.
In the jungle, the intermittent gunfire startled the sparrows in the trees.
Because these people were desperate, Jiang Ning and Xu Jin kept moving through the jungle without stopping.
Having led these people on such a long detour, their stamina is gradually waning.
Jiang Ning, who used to be able to remain calm in the face of everything, is no longer calm.
She didn't want to die at the hands of these people.
There are so many people and things in this world that she cares about.
Xu Jin gritted her teeth and led Jiang Ning through the jungle until she was completely exhausted.
They had no weapons, so they could only run.
How long they can run depends on how long their stamina allows them to last.
They both ran out of energy.
Finally, they found a natural cave and decided to hide inside. If they were caught in the end, they would accept their fate.
They've reached their limit to hold out for so long.
The jungle was so quiet that even the slightest sound could be heard clearly.
As the footsteps drew closer, their hearts sank heavier and heavier.
Soon, footsteps reached the outside of the cave.
Xu Jin picked up a stone, and just then, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the cave—
"young married woman."
Judging from that voice, it's Shen Mo.
Jiang Ning was momentarily dazed; she often experienced hallucinations and auditory hallucinations when under intense mental stress.
Until Xu Jin grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, "Ningning, I think I heard Shen Mo's voice!"
Just then, footsteps were heard entering through the cave entrance.
Jiang Ning shone her flashlight over, and the light shone on the person who came.
She was momentarily dazed when she saw Shen Mo.
