Chapter 128
"Hmm? What did you find?"
Hearing the child's voice, the person inside came out and asked as soon as he saw the person.
The question was not asked to the captain of the third team but to the captains of other first-line teams.
This time, almost all those who can become captains of a first-line team participated.
Not only because they are strong, but also because they know the situation of their teammates and can integrate the abilities of their teammates at the right time to make more appropriate battle plans.
When the child took the photo, they were together, discussing something with the leader of their team.
"As for what they are talking about, I don't know the specifics."
The child standing in front of the crowd was not stage-frightened. He shook his head calmly, turned around and pointed, directing everyone's attention back to the two people who had come to look for someone in the first place.
"Hello, Captain, hello, when I came out earlier, I felt someone..."
The one who found something wrong stood up and quietly told them his discovery and the reason for coming. By the time he finished speaking, a long time had passed.
It’s not that he is long-winded, but because he has no specific evidence. In order to let others know the situation clearly, he can only explain the whole process in a long-winded way.
Fortunately, no one present rushed him, so after he entered the tent, they did their own things while listening to him talk.
Captain Three was a little confused after hearing this.
"According to what you said, that person has been following us since we left. Why would he follow us? We're not going to do anything good."
He was puzzled and asked directly.
Although they are on the front line and often go on missions, it cannot be denied that what they do is not a popular job for most people.
The risk level is very high. Even if there are some benefits, for most people, these benefits are not enough to make them risk their lives.
"I'm not sure. Normally, based on the noise I made when I left, even someone who didn't know where we were going would have guessed it must be dangerous, so no one would follow us."
Hearing the third captain's question, another captain in the tent also answered with confusion.
According to past experience, if they didn't go to a very dangerous place, those spontaneously organized teams would be able to find out and follow them even if they didn't tell others.
In contrast, even if their superiors wanted to keep this operation secret for fear of problems, they would not hide the difficulty of the mission when they inquired about it.
According to those people's temperament, they will not catch up at this time.
Given that it was known that no civilian troops would follow on their own, it was surprising that there were still people following the Qi family.
Of course, all the captains and team leaders present did not show any sign of panic when they heard this. This was because they were strong, the number of people in their team was large, and they had not yet reached the mission location, so they were not afraid of the people who might follow them.
Now I still have the mood to analyze what the person following me is thinking.
"It's useless to think so much now. What's the point of just guessing here? You probably won't find any trace of it if you go out now. When we stop to set up camp next time, let this young man take you to see what's going on."
Seeing that everyone was about to turn the topic to grandma's house, the team leader was speechless and made a decision directly.
There was nothing for everyone to refute about the leader's words, so they just agreed.
"Then wait until next time, we'll go and see for ourselves. You can go back and do your own thing first."
After answering the man, he turned around and asked him to go back. Seeing that the other person still looked a little worried, he couldn't help but say something to comfort him.
"Don't worry, nothing serious will happen. Even your ability can't find that person. With his strength, he will have no problem walking outside. He has been following us for so long without making any noise. I can't say what he will do next, but at least he doesn't intend to do anything bad right now."
The person who reported the situation was comforted and sent back, and he temporarily put his previous worries aside.
Although they had already come out of the temporary shelter, they were not without any preparation or backup cards.
Just like now, the team leader and the first-line captains present are the confidence of the capable people who have come out.
The team leaders just put the possibility of someone following them into their minds, but did not focus all their attention on it. They continued to move forward at their own pace.
"Just go ahead and we'll reach the first mission point. Team One, go ask the people if the guy we're following is still there."
The team leader looked at the map and saw that the icon representing their location was approaching the mission site. Only then did they remember the person they had deliberately ignored before.
"good."
Upon hearing this, Captain Dai lowered his head and looked for the two people he had specially visited earlier on his communicator.
After receiving the affirmative answer, he was speechless.
"I didn't leave. I'm still following you."
Captain Dai replied to the team leader softly.
"I thought before that he had followed us so far that we couldn't send him back even if we tried, so we just let him give up on his own. I didn't expect him to be so persistent. Even now, even after walking here and seeing increasingly powerful mutant plants and animals along the way, he hasn't been able to change his mind."
After hearing Captain Dai's answer, the three captains didn't know what to say.
"What else can we do? Before he follows us into the mission location, we need to find him and explain things clearly to him, asking him to stop following us."
The team leader was speechless about the man's persistence and could only make this decision in the end.
"Okay, we're going to stop and rest up ahead, let's go look for it."
Captain Dai had no objection and nodded in agreement. He also invited a few captains who he usually got along well with to go with him.
Those few people did not delay. When Captain Dai set off, they followed and headed directly in the general direction pointed by the person with special abilities.
Captain Dai's ability is strong enough, and the abilities of the other captains are equally strong. This time, Captain Dai did not let Luo Sui follow him, and used his ability to take shortcuts.
As soon as they reached the place and stopped, they looked at the road behind them that they had already walked before on the mission, and their eyes fell on the area behind them that was hidden by the mutant plants.
The route they took was very special. Because it was raining, even they could only find those protruding buildings or high places that were not flooded to rest when setting up camp to rest.
The person following behind them obviously did not have as good conditions as them, so he could only follow quietly from behind. It was natural that he had many restrictions, and there were not many places for him to rest.
Based on the information we have learned so far, the other party must be able to survive near those mutated animals and plants without worrying about being attacked, otherwise they would not have been able to stay with them for so long without any problems.
"Why don't you come out yet? The two teammates who came looking for you before might not have been able to find you, but we are different. It's only a matter of time before we find you. Besides, your ability may not work on us."
As Captain Dai spoke, his eyes were carefully examining the mutated plants in the distance.
He said this to judge how much the other party knew about him and others.
If he knew their situation, he would probably let them out on their own after he said that.
If he didn't know, he would probably wait for some time, make a judgment, and only compromise after confirming that they had locked on to him.
Just waiting like this would definitely be a waste of time, but they were about to reach the mission location and didn't want to waste their abilities on something that didn't make much sense.
After waiting for a long time, just when Captain Dai and others thought that the other party was stubborn and would not show up until they caught him, the dense mutant plants covering the area they were staring at seemed to be turned over by someone.
After a while, a man sitting on a wild duck came out.
The wild duck was huge in size and was obviously a mutant animal. Judging from its lively eyes, it had a good brain and was much smarter than ordinary mutant animals.
The third captain who came with Captain Dai to help did not recognize the man at first. After the man removed the raincoat covering his face to block the water, he could see the man's appearance clearly.
"Good boy daddy?" Captain Three couldn't help but exclaimed.
Captain Dai also knew the person in front of him.
Look at people clearly and think about the children you and others have raised. What else do they not understand?
It was nothing more than a father who was worried about his children taking risks. After knowing that he was not in the selected range, he did not compromise and finally sneaked out to follow them.
"Let's go. This is not a good place to talk. Follow us back to the camp."
After seeing the person clearly, Captain Dai didn't waste time talking to him. After saying this, he turned around and left.
The drunk who was called out didn't say a word, and just watched the person who came to catch him leave.
However, he did not dare to shrink back and continue to follow in hiding, so he had to get off the duck, pat the duck's head, signaling it to wait here, and then he followed the captains who were leading the way in front on foot.
The child was helping other people with special abilities to set up a camp. Just as he finished, he turned around and saw his father walking behind his captain uncle.
"?dad!"
The child was confused at first, and then surprised.
The child was in surprise and didn't expect that his father would appear here at this time.
The drunk reached out and grabbed the child who rushed towards him. With one hand, he lifted the child up steadily and held him in his arms.
"Dad, why are you here?"
After the excitement died down, the child began to have doubts. He did not waste time considering the situation and asked directly.
"This...I'll tell you after Daddy finishes talking to your uncles, okay?"
In fact, the drunkard hasn't thought of an excuse yet.
You can't tell the truth to the child that you ran away from home secretly without following instructions because you were worried about him, right?
Don't think too much about it, he wouldn't say that to a child anyway.
He still wanted to save some face for the adults.
The captains who were leading the way and standing in front of the drunk and the child just turned around and looked at them without urging them.
It was only now that Captain Dai cried out.
"Let's go. There's a tent set up up ahead. You and your son can be so clingy in this cold rain."
After saying the last sentence, Captain Dai shook his head helplessly.
He really didn't know how to describe it.
"Okay, let's go."
Hearing Captain Dai's words, the drunkard hurriedly followed with the child in his arms.
He also knew that Captain Dai said this to help him out and he was not the kind of person who would be ungrateful, so the drunk ran away quickly with the child in his arms.
Fortunately, he still knew to pay attention to his feet. If his feet had slipped slightly on the ground that had just been stepped on by so many people, he would have fallen with his child and no one knew what would have happened.
When they got to the tent and saw so many people busy inside, the drunk man put the child down at the entrance of the tent with some embarrassment and signaled the child to go and play by himself.
Guaibao was very well behaved. Seeing his father like this, he knew that his father didn't want him to hear what he was going to say to these uncles. He was very well behaved and didn't make trouble but insist on listening. After being put on the ground, he went out to find other people with special abilities.
After watching the child go out and making sure that his words would not be heard by the child, the drunkard began to tell the reason and purpose of why he followed the child out.
Although Captain Dai and the others guessed the purpose of this man's visit from the beginning, after hearing him say it in person, they still felt a sense of suffocation that they couldn't describe.
The child is very capable and is a member of Team 3, so he was assigned to carry out this mission. Although it was unexpected, it was not that surprising.
It is a time of great turmoil, and there are not many people with special abilities who can be used.
Looking at the population of the entire Hua family, the proportion of people with strong abilities is even smaller.
Even those who are against children participating in the mission will feel a little conflicted about giving up the help of such a powerful person with special abilities because of the child's age.
But the drunkard in front of him had his own reasons for following him.
He knew the dilemma faced by the higher-ups and the child's choice, so he respected it and did not use his status as a parent or guardian to forcefully refuse the child from taking this mission.
While he did not oppose the intentions of others, he also made his own decision.
For now, this decision is just like they couldn't let the child go back in the first place, nor could they let the father of the child in front of them go back.
"How did you manage to follow us for so long without being found by our esper?"
Since he knew that he couldn't persuade them, Captain Dai stopped talking nonsense and directly asked the question that he and others wanted to know most at the moment.
His question is probably also the doubt of others.
If the drunkard had shown his current strength from the beginning, perhaps he would have been on the mission list from the beginning, and he wouldn't have to follow so quietly.
