Chapter 326 Changing Mindset
"Captain, take a rest."
Ding Zhu watched as Meng Jiayi and Zhao Niuniu struggled to take their steps, and gestured to Han Shizhong.
They had evaded two waves of enemy pursuit and had been running for nearly five or six hours, so their physical strength was quite depleted.
Han Shizhong first looked around, then pointed to a low slope not far away.
"Go over there."
At least it can give them temporary cover.
Ten minutes later, the seven people finally reached the other side of the low slope.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Everyone took deep breaths, and once they stopped, a wave of exhaustion washed over them.
Looking at the sun overhead, even without a watch, it must have been around three or four in the afternoon.
Han Shizhong took out a map to check their location, then pointed to a spot on the map with a serious expression and said, "We must get to this place before sunset."
They lacked night-travel equipment, making it too difficult to launch a surprise attack at night. Therefore, they had to take advantage of the remaining sunlight to shorten the distance as much as possible.
However, we are still 20 to 30 kilometers away from the place he mentioned, which is very difficult.
"Take a five-minute break, then continue on your way."
Zhao Niuniu took out a small packet of biscuits from his bag, opened it, and started eating.
He needs to replenish his energy.
Ding Zhu and Liu Lin exchanged a glance and also took out their food.
Wu Mang chose dried meat. He hadn't felt very hungry at first, but the aroma of the dried meat made him feel ravenous.
However, he didn't rush to eat it. Instead, seeing that Su Jin didn't move, he handed her the dried meat.
"Jin-jie, you eat first."
Su Jin shook her head. "I'm not hungry yet, you eat."
Besides Su Jin, Han Shizhong also did not open his backpack.
Their food supply was absolutely insufficient for three days; the most brutal period was yet to come.
"Sister Jin, do you think those people have dog noses? They can follow us wherever we go!" Wu Mang muttered as he ate.
If it weren't for those pursuers, they wouldn't have had to flee in such a exhausted state.
Su Jin frowned, pondered for two seconds, and then went to Han Shizhong's side.
"Captain Han, I think we can change our approach."
Han Shizhong looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Su Jin continued, "If those people didn't install tracking devices on us, then the only possibility is that they figured out our movement routes, which is why they were able to catch up so quickly."
"What is a tracker?" This was the first time Han Shizhong had heard this unfamiliar term.
Su Jin couldn't explain it too clearly either, "It's a device that can determine our location."
Han Shizhong looked astonished. "There's such a device?"
Forehead……
That's not the point Su Jin wanted to make.
"Yes, I've seen it in foreign newspapers before. What I mean is, isn't the most urgent thing right now to shake off those people behind us?"
Addressing the threat of being killed at any moment is clearly more important than arriving at the destination on time.
Han Shizhong's attention was drawn back. "What you said makes sense. Tell me your thoughts."
Su Jin gestured for him to take out the map again and study it carefully.
"The route we're taking now is the closest to Hill 111, right?"
Han Shizhong nodded. With time running out, they naturally had to choose the shortest route.
“We think this way, and they naturally think the same way. So all they need to do is follow this route and they will definitely find us.” Su Jin’s analysis made Han Shizhong immediately realize the problem.
