Chapter 324 The sudden disappearance of footprints
The gunshot made everyone highly focused. After searching for several days, they finally found the result.
It’s a pity that it has no wings, otherwise everyone would be eager to fly over and see who fired the gun.
In fact, everyone knows that the only ones who can hide in Area No. 9 must be the couple.
Is this hunting?
Zhang Yong, Bai Han, Fei Wen, and Xu Keshan all crouched down and came to Lu Jingheng and Bai Yangfan.
"Boss! What should we do? Chase them or not?" Zhang Yong was always so impatient and wanted to rush over and catch the couple immediately.
"No rush." Xu Keshan patted Zhang Yong's shoulder. "That place is still far away from us. If we want to catch them in time, we have to be patient."
Bai Han continued, "Even if we could rush down right now, we wouldn't necessarily be able to catch him."
"We still have to hold on to them, wait for the opportunity, and take them down in one fell swoop." Feiwen expressed his opinion.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to catch them." Lu Jingheng looked at the place on the opposite hill where the gunshots came from. "That couple is very cunning, so it will be difficult to catch them.
We have already identified the general direction. Next, our most important thing is to find out their daily routines. Then we can take appropriate measures according to the situation. Wife! Do you think I am right?
Bai Yangfan felt very uncomfortable being called "wife" by a bastard in public. She turned around and glared at him sinisterly, warning him in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Pay attention to the occasion."
Lu Jingheng smiled foolishly: "Sorry! It was a slip of the tongue! I will pay attention next time."
Glancing at the silly, dog-like man with dissatisfaction, Bai Yangfan said calmly, "That couple has guns. We can't take strong measures. If all else fails, we can only trap them or shoot them dead."
What? Killed?
When everyone heard Xiaobai say this, they felt that there was something wrong with their ears.
Shot to death?
Does Xiaobai know what these two words mean?
Before entering the mountain, Director Xie had told them that in order to ensure their own safety, they could take extreme measures, no matter what, as long as they could catch the person.
Anyway, the final outcome of that desperate couple will definitely be execution. So many lives cannot be lost in vain.
The desperate couple must be punished by law.
The word "shoot to death" means nothing to them, but for a delicate female college student, it is still quite bloody.
When these two words came out of her mouth at this moment, everyone found it incredible and thought that Xiaobai must not have fully understood the meaning of "killed".
Loudmouth Zhang Yong was the first to ask, "Xiaobai! Do you know what it means to be shot to death?"
"I know." Bai Yangfan's tone was calm, without any trace of panic or fear. He explained calmly, "To kill means to beat to death."
That's clear enough! If anyone still doesn't understand, raise your hand. She can explain it even more clearly.
Hearing her speak so confidently and without any panic, Zhang Yong felt that there was something wrong with his comprehension ability.
Xiaobai is an absolute heroine, and he was worrying for nothing.
Seeing that no one said anything, Bai Yangfan continued according to his own thoughts: "Of course, that is the worst-case scenario. It would be best if we could not kill them. We should capture them alive and bring them back to face the people's judgment.
It's definitely not possible today, the distance is too far, but we can quietly follow them, find out where they are staying, and then think of other ways, what do you think?"
"I think it's a good idea." Xu Keshan was the first to express his opinion. "Xiao Bai is right, and the plan is good. I agree."
"I agree."
"agree."
"agree."
Seeing that everyone around him had agreed, Lu Jingheng felt that he was still not proactive enough, so he slowed down and said, "Since everyone agrees! Next, let's fill our stomachs first, and then quickly rush to Area 9. Be careful to stay hidden."
No one refuted the boss's words. Everyone took out the dry compressed biscuits and began to swallow them with difficulty.
If you really can't swallow it, just drink a sip of the water you drew in the morning.
Ten minutes later, everyone finished their lunch and started walking from the high ground to the foot of the mountain, then across the valley to the opposite side.
Everyone had undergone rigorous training in the mountains, so crossing the valley was not a difficult task for them. Even in the deep mountains and forests, they still stealthily moved towards the place where the gunshots were heard before.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Neither the person nor the prey was found.
After careful investigation, a pool of blood was found not far away, which should be left by an animal that was hunted.
Following the direction of the bloodstains, Bai Yangfan chased after the fallen bushes on the side.
Lu Jingheng and others followed her.
After chasing for a long time, they came to a bare cliff, where the footprints disappeared.
The cliff is very high, at least a hundred meters deep, with a knife-like cliff face, straight and steep, and there is a stream underneath.
There is a little water flowing by, and there are still vast mountains on the opposite side, but here is a deep abyss.
Judging from the direction of the footprints, they should be pointing directly to the cliff. Strangely, they did not find any signs of human activity here.
Could it be that they are looking in the wrong direction?
Bai Yangfan was unwilling to give up, so he asked everyone to search around the cliff again, but still no trace was found.
"Strange!" Zhang Yong muttered softly, "Why are there no traces of them here? Could it be that they flew away underground?"
Although Bai Han was also confused, he did not speak out in time. He knew that Xiaobai was concentrating on thinking, so it would be better for him to stay quiet and not disturb her at this time.
Along the way, he realized the advantages of growing up in the mountains. Based on the direction of the fallen bushes, Xiaobai was able to accurately calculate the scene at that time.
Several times we encountered a large area of tangled fallen bushes, and several traces of human activity. An ordinary person would definitely think that the footprints extended to other places.
At that time, he, Feiwen and Zhang Yong also thought so, but Xiaobai said they were wrong.
The three people were not convinced and followed the direction they had determined. After walking for a while, they immediately felt something was wrong.
The lodging situation suddenly disappeared. What does this indicate?
It means that the person walking here walked back.
The three people's judgments were all wrong, and they wasted a lot of energy in vain. In the end, Xiaobai's judgment was the most correct.
Following her instructions, I found that the footprints continued forward with no signs of sudden interruption.
"Don't be discouraged. My judgment is based on the way the grass is falling back. See? This clump of grass is being trampled and falling back to the ground. Isn't it exactly the opposite direction of the falling bushes?
From this, we can see that those who took this path soon returned. From now on, if you observe carefully, such situations will not be difficult for you.
