The sky was just beginning to lighten.
As the heat gradually increased, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.
"Phew, what a pleasant dream," Luo Chen exhaled and said softly.
Luo Chen got up, tidied himself up quickly, and then saw that Number Five had also opened his eyes.
"Let me change your dressing." Luo Chen walked over, opened the medical kit, and then changed the dressing on Number Five's back.
He then walked towards the stands, the place where he had been with Mu Shiyu before.
"Huh, there are words here?" Luo Chen was originally walking down from the stands, but suddenly he noticed that there were several scratches on the railing of the stands.
Walking over to take a look, Luo Chen scratched at the scratches with his hands, and his breathing became rapid when he saw them.
It was engraved with words that read, "Be careful, inside..."
"It should have been written by Mu Shiyu, but what do these three characters mean? 'Be careful,' does 'inner' represent?"
Luo Chen squinted and began to think, but he couldn't find any useful clues.
Mu Shiyu probably wanted to say something, but the situation was too critical, so she could only write down these three words. Besides, it was nighttime, so it was already quite an achievement that she was able to write it down completely.
"Never mind, let's go first," Luo Chen said calmly, then returned.
He ate some dry food and then wandered around.
"No communication equipment was found; they must all be destroyed. There was only one walkie-talkie, but it's useless." Luo Chen shook his head slightly, his face bitter.
"Brother Xiao, what do we do now? Which way do we go?" Number Five leaned against the wall, and after a night's rest, his pale face finally showed some color.
The injury to my back has also improved a lot compared to before.
Although I can't do strenuous exercise, I can still walk normally.
Luo Chen pondered for a moment. Right now, his priority was to find Mu Shiyu and the others as soon as possible, and not let those people take them away.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to complete their tasks.
Moreover, there was also Jiang Xian'er among them. Luo Chen felt somewhat guilty towards Jiang Xian'er, as he shouldn't have brought her into this mess.
This girl is so innocent, she's like a fool, and now she's suffering this hardship with me.
This made Luo Chen feel increasingly uncomfortable.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to catch up with them and rescue Mu Shiyu and Jiang Xian'er from their clutches.
“We can’t contact the leader. If we go back now, they’ll probably be far away, and we won’t be able to catch up.” Luo Chen analyzed the current situation and looked up at Number Five, saying, “You can’t exercise for long periods of time right now, or your wound will definitely get infected. So, what you need to do now is go back.”
"Go back? But Brother Xiao, I'm much better now. I haven't finished my mission yet, I..." Number Five looked anxious, feeling a little embarrassed when Luo Chen tried to send him away.
Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, and he exuded a cold aura as he said coldly, "You'll only be a burden to me if you follow me. Do you think it would be useful for me to take care of you? Go back now and tell the commander about this so he can bring his men here. That's the best help you can give me, understand?"
It wasn't that Luo Chen didn't want him to complete the mission, but sometimes one should be clear about the situation. If he weren't injured, Luo Chen would have had a helper with him, but now, to put it bluntly, he had no value whatsoever.
"There's another car there, it should still be able to start, drive it back," Luo Chen said again, giving him no chance.
Number Five lowered his head and nodded; he understood as well.
"By the way, do you remember how to get there? Draw the route for me."
Number Five nodded, then found a stone and began to draw on the ground according to the clues in his memory.
Luo Chen was somewhat relieved; this was good news, thankfully his old friend had told them how to get there beforehand.
Otherwise, even if Luo Chen wanted to save people, he wouldn't know the direction.
"Okay, I'm taking the car now. Where are you going?" Number Five suddenly looked up and said to Luo Chen. He knew Luo Chen was capable, but right now there was only one car that was still in good condition. After he drove it away...
"It's alright, there are vehicles on the mountain. Those guys came up the mountain from the other side last night, so I can go and replenish my ammunition."
Luo Chen was secretly delighted. Fortunately, he had taken down the people on the opposite mountain, which allowed the enemy to replenish their ammunition. Otherwise, there would have been no way to deal with them.
“Brother Xiao, take note: once we get here, we can’t drive anymore. We’ll have to go through this mountain. But it’s very dangerous in the mountains, so be careful,” Number Five said, pointing to the map he had drawn on the ground.
Luo Chen stared at the map, silently recited it three times, and then closed his eyes to recall the map once more.
"Alright, I've got it." Luo Chen took a pistol from his waist, handed it to Number Five, and said, "Take this with you, and be careful on the road."
Number Five didn't refuse; after all, in this world, having a gun and not using it is a different concept from not having a gun at all.
Along the way, if we encounter other people, we might not be able to tell if we have a gun, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
Afterwards, Luo Chen did a quick search and organized his equipment.
"Let's go quickly. Remember to tell the regimental commander to come here as soon as possible. Hmm..." Luo Chen hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Tell the regimental commander that Jiang Xian'er came with us. As for whether or not to tell Mayor Jiang, you don't need to worry about that."
Number Five sat in the car, nodded, then started the engine, glanced at Luo Chen, and moved his lips.
"You brat, I'm not going to die, stop whining and let's go." Luo Chen patted Number Five on the head, then turned and walked up the mountain.
Boom... The sound of the car starting rang out, and Number Five's voice sounded behind Luo Chen.
"Brother Xiao, please be careful. I'll bring the leader here as soon as possible."
Luo Chen waved his hand and quickly walked up the mountain.
From this moment on, every moment is precious.
Upon arriving at the mountain, Luo Chen brought all the weapons he could use. It was a pity that they didn't have any high-powered weapons; otherwise, carrying a grenade would have made them feel much safer.
Luo Chen picked up the sniper rifle and tried it out; it was indeed a good weapon.
No wonder so many people like it.
If that shot had hit me, I'd probably have been shot in the head and become a giant skull.
"Two submachine guns, two pistols, one sniper rifle, and four grenades," Luo Chen muttered to himself, glancing at the weapons in the vehicle.
He then started the car, intending to go down the mountain first, then walk forward for about five kilometers, and then take another three-kilometer mountain road.
That's how you get to the bottom of the mountain.
Without hesitation, Luo Chen pressed the accelerator and didn't stop for a moment.
For him, any braking action would be disrespectful to the lives of Jiang Xian'er or Mu Shiyu.
He must dare to rescue Jiang Xian'er and the others while they are still on the mountain.
The car sped across the loess soil, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Wait for me! I'll show you what happens when you anger me!"
