The dusk was as dark as ink, gradually permeating the entire forest.
Su Wantang looked in the direction Lu Xiangdong pointed, and the faint fire in front became clearer and clearer.
She increased the speed of the car and sped along the winding mountain road.
Military vehicles appeared ahead, and she instantly realized that the only way to advance this distance was on foot.
Her eyes suddenly changed, she held the steering wheel firmly with both hands, turned the wheel quickly, and stopped the car steadily on the side of the road.
Then she quickly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car with Lu Xiangdong.
Feng Yuanzheng, the team leader, stood there straight. When he saw Lu Xiangdong from afar, his eyes lit up instantly, full of surprise.
He immediately took big steps, ran over with a nimble posture, stood at attention in front of Lu Xiangdong, and gave a standard military salute.
The voice was loud and respectful: "Master Lu, why are you here too?"
Lu Xiangdong nodded slightly, his expression solemn, his deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the night, and asked: "What's the situation now? Have you found Liang Junwen and his team?"
Feng Yuanzheng straightened his back, his expression serious, and said: "Our team has just arrived. I have arranged for scouts to go and investigate. I believe there will be news soon."
Su Wantang on the side was extremely anxious, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.
She subconsciously took a big step forward, her hands unconsciously clenched, her voice trembling with anxiety: "Can't we go find Yan Ci's whereabouts first?"
Feng Yuanzheng looked embarrassed, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He explained in a calm but patient tone: "We checked carefully when we came here. There are several cliffs in this area. We must first find Liang Junwen and his team to determine where Captain Fu and Chief of Staff Zhang fell. Only in this way can we implement the rescue more accurately!"
After hearing this, Su Wantang became more anxious and clenched his hands even tighter, until his knuckles turned white.
She frowned and asked anxiously, "Can't we split up and search in different directions? With more people, maybe we can find Yan Ci faster!"
Feng Yuanzheng looked embarrassed and his eyes were full of hesitation. He subconsciously looked at Lu Xiangdong, hoping to get instructions.
Lu Xiangdong pondered for a moment, his eyes deep, and quickly weighed the pros and cons of various options in his mind.
He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "Comrade Su, Commander Feng is right. No one is familiar with this area. If we disperse our forces hastily, it may not only reduce the efficiency of the search, but also make accidents more likely. Let's stick to the original plan and wait for the news from the investigation."
Su Wantang's face was full of anxiety, his eyes were full of worry, his hands were clenched into fists, and he kept looking inside.
She murmured to herself: "It is unknown whether Yanci is alive or dead, how can I just wait here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scout came running over. He looked nervous and his steps were quick.
After standing at attention and saluting, he said with a slight breath: "Report! Commander Feng, we found a mark about two kilometers ahead that is suspected to be left by Captain Liang's team, but no trace of people has been found around."
When Feng Yuanzheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and a spark of hope ignited in his eyes.
He immediately turned around and said to Lu Xiangdong with a crisp and clear movement: "Commander Lu, I suggest that we head towards the marked point now. Maybe we can find Liang Junwen and the others first, and then ask about the whereabouts of Commander Fu and Chief of Staff Zhang!"
