Hearing this, Jiang Zhining's heart tightened and she couldn't help but purse her lips.
"According to our searches along the way, there are no signs of human life. Just as we were leaving, we encountered a bear, but luckily there were hunters there who chased it away."
The situation here is worse than they imagined, and the range of the wild beasts' activities is larger than they thought.
Jiang Zhining felt a pain in her chest and her fists hanging at her sides were clenched tightly.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke in a low voice: "Even if a wild goose flies by, it will leave traces. Even if it is eaten by wild beasts, there will be bones and remains. I will not give up until I have overturned this mountain and dug three feet into the ground."
Seeing her appearance, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but be touched.
Although Jiang Zhining is just a woman, she is braver and more decisive than he imagined.
"Okay, let's continue tomorrow. Yuzhou might be waiting for us to rescue him. Sister-in-law, you should have a good rest first. We will set off again at five o'clock tomorrow morning."
Jiang Zhining nodded, then took out the spiritual spring water that she had prepared in advance and gave it to all the soldiers who were going into the mountains to search, so that they could recover their strength sooner.
After dinner, Jiang Zhining did not go back to the tent to rest directly, but went to the village chief's house and explained her purpose.
She wants to make full use of the navigation skills of local residents to increase the chances of a successful search.
Half an hour later, more than thirty young and strong men gathered at the village chief's house.
Before leaving, Jiang Zhining went to develop photos and developed Song Yuzhou's personal photos.
Jiang Zhining held up the photo and said loudly, "We'll need to go into the mountains tomorrow. The hunters leading the team will receive five yuan, just like today. Besides that, I'm issuing a reward."
"Reward?"
"This is my husband Song Yuzhou. As long as anyone can find my husband, no matter whether he is dead or alive, I will give him a hundred yuan as a reward." Jiang Zhining continued.
When they heard the one hundred yuan, everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
"If we haven't found it in the mountains for several days, I will send you some fruits and vegetables so that your efforts won't be in vain."
Jiang Zhining's words immediately ignited everyone's enthusiasm. After all, this one hundred was equal to their annual income.
"Don't worry, girl, we will try our best to find it!" the villagers shouted loudly.
"Thank you all very much." Jiang Zhining said as she distributed Song Yuzhou's photos to everyone, one copy for each person.
After doing all this, Jiang Zhining returned to the tent and prepared to rest.
Lying in the tent, Jiang Zhining tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, worried about Song Yuzhou's safety.
"Yuzhou, wait for me, I will definitely find you." Jiang Zhining clasped her hands together and prayed silently.
After some psychological preparation, Jiang Zhining finally fell asleep.
But this sleep was not restful at all.
Jiang Zhining had a dream. In the dream, Song Yuzhou was covered in blood and fighting with a wild beast.
His arm was bitten off by a wild beast. In the dream, Jiang Zhining shouted anxiously and wanted to rush over to help, but she could only watch him being torn apart by the wild beast, unable to do anything.
"Yuzhou!!" Jiang Zhining screamed and sat up, beads of cold sweat rolling down her forehead.
Jiang Zhining opened her eyes and stared ahead with fear.
After taking deep breaths, Jiang Zhining finally calmed down.
"It was just a dream." Jiang Zhining wiped away the cold sweat, "Now I have something to worry about too."
In modern times, even though she once had a crush on her senior, she never dreamed of him.
Only when she misses the person she truly cares about will she dream.
Jiang Zhining couldn't sleep, so in order to give herself some strength, she came to the small Western-style building in the consciousness space to rest.
At 4:30 in the morning, Jiang Zhining got up and washed.
Ever since she entered the book, she has been living a relaxed and leisurely life. This is the first time she has gotten up so early.
After washing up, Jiang Zhining carried a bag and prepared to set off with the troops.
"Sister-in-law, you can't survive in the wild with so little stuff." Zhao Ziliang was worried.
Jiang Zhining smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've brought everything I need."
Zhao Ziliang thought about it and asked Jiang Zhining to follow him. That way, if something happened, he would be able to protect her in time.
"By the way, sister-in-law, this is for you." Zhao Ziliang said, handing her a pistol.
Jiang Zhining was surprised: "Dealing with wild beasts?"
"More than that." Zhao Ziliang confessed honestly, "In this deep mountain, there are not only Yuzhou and his men, but also several serious criminals. They are all extremely vicious criminals, with more than a dozen lives on their shoulders."
It turned out that Song Yuzhou's mission this time was to capture the fugitive murderer and rescue the hostages.
Not only did they take many lives, they also provoked the military and arrested several special police officers and soldiers who were previously responsible for arresting them. They were extremely arrogant and bad.
Jiang Zhining frowned and took the gun: "Okay, I will protect myself and won't drag you down."
Then everyone set off.
Today, not only soldiers entered the mountains, but also villagers who came for the bounty.
With the guidance of the villagers, everyone can take fewer detours.
Each rescue team had a hunter to lead the way, a scout, a leader and three soldiers.
All the areas searched yesterday were marked on the map, so today's search area was closer to the depths of the mountains and forests.
Jiang Zhining was wearing cloth shoes and trousers, looking around as she walked.
Suddenly, the scout shouted: "Commander, we have found something."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over and saw a mark in the grass.
"This is the mark of our troops. Yuzhou and the others should have been here." Zhao Ziliang's eyes lit up.
With a clue, Zhao Ziliang looked around and saw other marks.
After walking for a while according to the mark, the mark disappeared.
"They must have had an accident nearby, and the clues are cut off here." Zhao Ziliang said solemnly.
Jiang Zhining looked around: "Even if the clues are broken, we have to keep looking. Let's look carefully to see if there are any hidden clues."
"Okay. Everyone, split up and search carefully to see if you can find any traces." Zhao Ziliang instructed, "Be careful, or you won't run into those murderers."
Everyone saluted silently in response, then dispersed and continued to search around, trying to find a clue.
"Sister-in-law, hold the gun." Zhao Ziliang reminded again.
"Okay." Jiang Zhining bent down, looked around carefully, and searched in another direction.
As she walked, Jiang Zhining suddenly saw that there seemed to be someone in the grass in front.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhining hurried forward.
After pushing aside the brush, Jiang Zhining saw the scene in front of her. Her stomach churned and she almost vomited.
I saw a tall man lying on the ground, covered in blood. His face had obviously been bitten by a wild beast, and only some limbs were left on his body.
He was wearing a military uniform, but it was torn by bites and looked very tattered.
Jiang Zhining's face turned pale and she stepped back subconsciously.
The next second, a cold pistol was pressed against her lower back, and a cold voice rang out: "Don't move."
