Ford never expected that these people, after only spending a few days with Shen Xingwan, actually began to question his orders and obey the words of this inexperienced girl!
At this moment, there was a loud "boom" sound of collision.
Then there were several consecutive "boom, boom" sounds.
Some hunters followed Ford's advice and took up their particle pistols to defend themselves, while some remained silent.
Seeing this, Ford's label of being a good guy was shattered, and he was left with only exasperation: "The wolves are about to break in, and some of you are still standing there for what?"
"Mr. Ford, do you have any special feelings towards wolves?" A young hunter in the crowd asked in a low voice.
"What did you say?!" Ford glared at the boy with embarrassment and annoyance.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The young man was indeed braver than the other hunters. He scratched his head and spoke with a smile.
"Although we are surrounded by wolves, the armored vehicle didn't even shake after the wolves hit it. This shows that our armored vehicle is very safe and sturdy. As long as we wait for the wolves to retreat and disperse, we will be safe!"
With the first bold one, there will be a second one.
"Yes, Mr. Ford, this is a confined space. If everyone has their guns loaded, and one of them gets startled and accidentally discharges, we'll be the ones getting killed or injured."
After hearing these words, Ford's face looked as ugly as if a palette had been overturned.
Because what these people say makes sense.
However, it is absolutely impossible to ask him to admit that he made a mistake in judgment due to personal emotions!
"You young people have no idea how dangerous wild wolves are!"
"It's luck that the armored vehicles can hold on. If they can't, and the wolves rush in, you'll know how childish and ridiculous what you just said was!"
After saying that, he sat back angrily, with the safety on the particle gun still stubbornly not fastened.
After doing all this, Ford secretly glanced at Shen Xingwan. He wanted to know if there was anything wrong with his acting skills, and he was even a little worried that he would see a sarcastic expression in Shen Xingwan's eyes.
However, he saw none of this.
Because Shen Xingwan didn't pay attention to what was happening at all. He was sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed.
This made Ford feel as uncomfortable as if he had been scratched by a cat, as if everything he had just done was in vain, like a jumping clown!
An hour later, the sound of cars colliding with each other and the howling of wolves disappeared, and the fog gradually dissipated.
The wolves hung their tails, looked back every few steps, and finally left dejectedly.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
And Shen Xingwan also opened her eyes at this time.
She yawned and said lazily, "Almost done, let's keep going and stop to rest when the fog thickens."
Han Ling was also scared at first, but when she saw Shen Xingwan's calm demeanor, she calmed down for some reason and rested with Shen Xingwan for a while.
At this moment, his physical strength and spirit had recovered a lot, and he set off again in the armored vehicle.
"Luckily we have this armored vehicle, otherwise we would have been ambushed by the wolves when the fog started just now."
"That's right. In that situation, even if we had a particle gun, we'd still be dead!"
"It must be said that our leader is indeed far-sighted. No wonder the boss chose her to lead us in our mission!"
Everyone was clearly admiring Shen Xingwan's ability, but when Ford heard these words, they all changed their meaning and turned into doubts and ridicules directed at him.
Is he really inferior to Shen Xingwan in every way?
Should he admit this and be Shen Xingwan's deputy?
"Brother Ford, see, this girl may be stubborn, but she would never dare to offend you!" Xie Lin came to sit next to Ford at some point.
Ford's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean by that?"
"We have just entered the Pavada Mountains. Think about it, if we want to find the whereabouts of the black doctor, we still have to rely on your clairvoyance, brother. You are the core of this mission. How can this girl not know this?" Xie Lin whispered his analysis to Ford.
The missing piece in Ford's heart seemed to be suddenly filled by something.
The corners of his lips twitched: "Do you think I don't know? I just don't want to argue with her."
Xie Lin gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Ford, just wait and see. I have plenty of ways to make her surrender and willingly hand over the position of leader to you."
Xie Lin said he was not surprised by Ford's expressionless face.
He was about to lift his hips and return to his original seat when his arm suddenly sank and a muffled voice came to his ears.
"Do you really have a solution?"
Looking at Ford's hand tightly holding his arm, Xie Lin's eyes lit up.
Finally his efforts were not in vain!
"Of course, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, brother." Xie Lin blinked.
"Okay." Ford narrowed his eyes.
At noon on the third day, the armored vehicles arrived at the center of the mountains, and in front of them was a three-way intersection.
"Chief, there are two roads here. Which one should we take?" Han Ling asked.
Looking at the two roads ahead, Shen Xingwan tapped his chin with his index finger.
This is the last coordinate provided by the White family. If they want to find the black doctor, they can only explore on their own from now on.
Shen Xingwan pursed her thin lips into a line.
The White family's time limit was half a month, and the round trip had already taken nearly a week, so there was not much time left for them and their uncle.
Searching one road at a time is obviously not a solution. Moreover, the navigation shows that the road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and the armored vehicles will soon be useless.
"We are hunters, not cowards. We can't hide in this turtle shell forever, right? I think it's better for us to split up into two groups and act separately." Xie Lin's voice rang out from the crowd.
Shen Xingwan raised an eyebrow. She didn't expect that this troublemaker could also offer constructive suggestions.
She high-fived vigorously, drawing everyone's attention to her.
"Everyone, listen up. The armored vehicles will be temporarily parked here as a base resource station. Everyone else will split into two groups, led by me and Ford respectively, and continue to move forward and search."
When Ford heard his name being called, he was slightly startled and looked up at Shen Xingwan.
He thought Shen Xingwan didn't take him seriously at all, but just now, she was willing to let him lead the team alone.
"I told you, if this girl wants to complete the mission, she has to use you, brother. We can't let her use us." Xie Lin whispered softly.
Ford frowned. "Of course. Have you arranged everything?"
"rest assured!"
As soon as Shen Xingwan gave the order, the hunters consciously split into two teams and stood behind her and Ford.
Shen Xingwan had no intention of reshuffling the two teams.
Those who could be easily bribed by Xie Lin were like time bombs, and she didn't intend to keep them all by her side.
However, he couldn't let them do whatever they wanted.
Shen Xingwan's gaze swept over the hunters behind Ford one by one, and finally pointed at the short hunter at the end.
"Step out of line and follow me. Han Ling, you fill in and join them."
