"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?!"
Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei almost spoke in unison.
Gu Chen's sentence "tune the tiger away from the mountain" immediately brought the atmosphere of the scene to freezing point.
You know, since everyone went up the mountain to rescue, it seems that weird things have happened one after another, and it has been creepy from the very beginning.
First, Xiaobai from Zhao Meng's family had his neck cut off with a sharp weapon, and died tragically in a downhill place in the bamboo forest.
If it weren't for everyone's sharp-eyed discovery, I'm afraid they wouldn't even know what happened here?
Afterwards, investigations were carried out around the place where Xiaobai died, and some knife marks from fighting were found at the scene.
Afterwards, everyone was on the search and rescue road, and accidentally discovered that they were being watched, and Fu Qiang was caught, and there was blood on Fu Qiang's face, which made everyone vigilant.
And during the interrogation process against Fu Qiang, it was discovered that Fu Qiang seemed to be deliberately covering up something? But after all, if Fu Qiang didn't say anything, it would be difficult for everyone to understand the situation from the current situation.
What's more, saving people is the most important thing now, Gu Chen is also racing against time, trying to find those lost people as soon as possible, and bring them down the mountain safely.
But now, when everyone came to the last village full of joy, they found that there was no one there, and there was no trace of the missing person.
Originally thought that this matter would end here, but in the utility room of the village, some fresh blood was accidentally found.
And what followed was an inexplicable whistle from the direction of the top of the mountain, and this was not an ordinary whistle, but a distress call.
But just when Gu Chen thought that he would be able to find those missing people, he found nothing on the mountain.
It turned out that there was a whistle for help from the uninhabited village under the mountain.
When Gu Chen brought the exhausted Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei back to the utility room at the starting point.
Yuan Shasha's team, who was originally here to support her, disappeared inexplicably.
This made Gu Chen feel that every move of the search and rescue team in the mountains seemed to be under surveillance.
"Junior Brother Gu, do you think we are being targeted?" Lu Weiwei was a little scared, and moved closer to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "If you think about how Fu Qiang was caught by us, you should be clear."
"That's right." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang also said with emotion: "We captured Fu Qiang in the bamboo forest. At that time, Fu Qiang seemed to be monitoring our every move."
"According to his own statement, he said that he didn't know where we came from. Isn't that farting? At this time, the communication was cut off, and all fools knew that it was the search and rescue team sent by the town, but he couldn't tell where we came from? "
"There is another possibility." Just as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Lu Weiwei interjected, "This Fu Qiang may have had conflicts with some people on the mountain. The knife marks in the bamboo forest and Xiaobai's body may be The best proof."
"Because Fu Qiang is afraid of meeting his deadly enemy in the mountains. This deadly enemy may be the Zhao family, or someone else."
"That's why he was extremely cautious. When our brigade went up the mountain and passed by him, he didn't dare to make a sound. He just watched quietly."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei tried to calm down, and then said: "It can be seen that there was indeed a force that seemed to threaten his life, so he had to hide so that no one would find out."
"Senior Sister Lu is very reasonable." After walking back and forth twice, Gu Chen said slowly:
"If there is another force in this mountain, it will be a big trouble. Kill Xiao Bai, and now even Xiao Yuan and the others are gone. We have lost 3 team members, and even the guide Zhao Meng is gone. "
"Damn it." Officer Wang slammed his right fist heavily on his left palm, and said involuntarily, "It seems that this force seems to be in control of everything, and we are completely led by this force."
Pointing to the direction of the top of the mountain, Officer Wang said again: "The distress post on the top of the mountain just now is probably a bait sent by someone to trick us into going up."
"Then those three guys staying on the mountain now." Lu Weiwei thought of another group of team members staying on the top of the mountain to rest, and couldn't help but worry for them:
"If there is an ambush on the mountain, wouldn't they be very dangerous?"
"I can't control that much now. These guys are not children. They are policemen. I hope they can handle suspicious dangers."
Officer Wang frowned, saying these words was actually a psychological comfort.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, and said: "From now on, it seems that we are being targeted. From now on, we can't separate without authorization. We have to stay together wherever we go. We can't let our opponents take advantage of our loopholes."
"That's right." Officer Wang heard Gu Chen's remarks, and said with some shame: "It's all my fault. I was on the mountain just now, so I shouldn't have proposed to act separately."
"It's dangerous for us and our colleagues on the mountain now."
"Especially now, who are we even on the other side? How many people can't figure it out, and it's easy to be attacked."
Speaking of this, Police Officer Wang also sighed heavily, feeling very guilty in his heart.
Lu Weiwei patted Police Officer Wang on the shoulder, and quickly comforted him: "Old Wang, don't blame yourself, things have already happened, what we have to do now is to find them as soon as possible."
"That's right." Gu Chen took a deep breath, and also reminded the two of them: "I think, for now, we should look around for clues, and if there are no clues, we should hurry to meet other people on the top of the mountain. "
"The only six of us left on the mountain now, Xiao Yuan's group has disappeared."
"So I think that the combination of our two groups will at least have a certain combat effectiveness."
"I agree, it's not too late, let's act quickly." Officer Wang also said anxiously.
Afterwards, everyone began to carry out various investigations on the surroundings according to the scene environment.
However, what puzzled everyone was that there was no trace of fighting at the scene. It seemed that all the scenes were exactly the same as when everyone first came here.
After that, Gu Chen started to investigate around the house.
Since it was a rainy day, there were various water stains on the ground and the soil was relatively loose.
But the more troublesome thing is that the ground on this side of the uninhabited village is full of weeds.
Therefore, after the arrival of everyone before, the footprints appeared more messy, and it was difficult to distinguish them for a while.
As time passed, Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei searched almost the entire periphery of the village, but there was no response to all calls.
Lu Weiwei panicked, and quickly reminded Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, the situation is not right. The disappearance of Xiao Yuan and the others is too strange. I think we should go to the top of the mountain immediately. After all, our other team is still on the top."
"If this team also disappears mysteriously, then it will definitely be our turn next."
"Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, are your physical strength still able to keep up?" Gu Chen asked.
Police Officer Wang said: "I'm fine, I'm still exhausted."
"I'm fine." Although Lu Weiwei was exhausted, the most important thing now was to ensure everyone's safety.
In such a stormy weather, everyone staying on the top of the mountain is a danger in itself.
Seeing that both of them were determined, Gu Chen also hurriedly said: "Okay, then we will go up the mountain immediately to join another team, after that we can no longer separate at will."
"Let's go." Officer Wang said vigilantly.
Afterwards, everyone took a brief rest, and began to form a triangle formation with each other, and searched again towards the top of the mountain.
Since Xiao Yuan's group disappeared mysteriously and their whereabouts were unknown, the three of them were extremely cautious when going up the mountain this time.
The three formed a search formation for each other, while maintaining their speed, they were also alert to both sides of the road.
I'm afraid that when everyone is slack, all kinds of accidents will suddenly rush out on the side of the road.
Originally, it was a mountain road that had already been walked once, but this time, everyone's hearts were raised in their throats.
After a while, Police Officer Wang looked at the plants on the side of the road and began to remind Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, we are almost at the top of the mountain, should we call? See if they are still there?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded.
Officer Wang stopped immediately, strained his throat, tried to adjust his breathing rhythm, and shouted towards the top of the mountain: "Hello? How are you guys at the top of the mountain? Please reply."
The sound was loud and echoed throughout the mountains.
Although the thunder was still rolling in the sky, the movement was obviously not as loud as before.
Therefore, Police Officer Wang's voice can theoretically reach the top of the mountain at this distance.
However, what surprised the three of them was that there seemed to be silence in the direction of the top of the mountain.
"Eh? What's the situation? Are these guys so tired that they fell asleep?" Officer Wang was confused, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he yelled loudly at the top of the mountain again.
Officer Wang even exerted all his strength, but he didn't get any response after calling.
Lu Weiwei was a little panicked, and quickly tugged at the corner of Gu Chen's clothes, and said, "Junior Brother Gu, could it be that the three of them encountered an accident on the top of the mountain?"
"Maybe." Gu Chen frowned, and said vigilantly, "Everyone, stay vigilant and speed up the mountain."
"I think, if these guys are still on the top of the mountain, they will definitely be able to hear our call just now."
"Since I heard it, there must be a response, but now there is no response."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen raised two fingers: "There are two situations, the first one is that you are so tired that you fall asleep, and the second one is that the three of them have been controlled by someone, and they can't get in touch with us for the time being."
"I... I believe it's the second type." Lu Weiwei said.
"I also believe it is the second type." Officer Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting heavily, and reminded:
"Don't think about anything now, just rush for me."
"Come on!" Lu Weiwei also went all out, feeling that everyone's situation is very dangerous now.
If we continue to stay like this, everyone will have to confess their lives here.
What's more terrible is that at this time, all communication devices cannot be contacted, which is very strange.
"Swish, swish."
"Hoo hoo hoo..."
The three of them forgot their exhaustion and trotted all the way. Finally, when their strength was exhausted, they came to the top of the mountain and came to the place where everyone had just walked.
"In front, in front is the cave made of huge rocks, and it is also the place where we separated from that team." Lu Weiwei said while covering her abdomen with her left hand and pointing to the direction of the cave with her right hand.
Officer Wang was about to take a step forward, but was stopped by Gu Chen: "Senior Brother Wang, don't worry, let's see the situation first."
"En." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Police Officer Wang did not act rashly, but instinctively pushed Lu Weiwei to the ground.
The three squatted down on the spot and looked around.
And at the first time, turn off all the flashlights.
But for the sake of safety, everyone even took off the reflective life jackets on the outside, in order to avoid the reflective strips on their bodies and reveal their specific positions.
In the dark cave, when the light is insufficient, everyone's vision may not be good.
The reflective life jacket that was originally worn on the body can allow the other party to see themselves to the greatest extent, but now it has become a burden for the three of them.
"Is it ready?" Gu Chen turned his head and whispered to Officer Wang beside him.
"It has been placed in the grass, and no one should notice us now." Officer Wang reminded in a low voice.
Gu Chen motioned to go around to the back of the cave from the side, and then go to check the situation.
The three nodded to each other, and then began to lie on the ground, crawling forward.
The weeds on the top of the mountain are extraordinarily lush, so it also gives everyone a natural barrier to avoid.
Lying on the grass and crawling forward, it seems that it is difficult to be found on such a rainy night.
But every time lightning flashed overhead, everyone would stop subconsciously.
And use the short light from the lightning to quickly observe the direction of the cave.
However, after coming down several times, everyone found that the direction of the cave was normal, and there were no suspicious people around.
After a brief pause, Gu Chen continued to crawl forward, while Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were lying on Gu Chen's left and right sides.
I don't know how long it took, but when Gu Chen crawled on the lawn and walked around to the back of the cave, he found that there was still no movement around the cave.
"Senior Brother Wang, the surrounding area is safe." Gu Chen reminded.
Officer Wang nodded silently, and said in a low voice, "It's safe around the cave, so I don't know how many people are still ambushing around here?"
"Shouldn't we be ambushed by ten sides?" Lu Weiwei was a little nervous, feeling that the surroundings were full of soldiers.
Especially when the wind blows the lawn, making all kinds of "rustling" movements, it makes Lu Weiwei feel that at any moment, someone may rush over in the lawn and kill her with a knife.
"Senior Sister Lu, don't scare yourself." Gu Chen also reminded.
"Okay, I was thinking too much." Lu Weiwei took a deep breath and reminded Police Officer Wang: "Old Wang, you quietly crawl to the entrance of the cave and see what's going on inside? Brother Gu and I are right behind you. "
"Once something happens, the two of us will rush over to support you at any time."
"Understood." Police officer Wang also had the same meaning at first, so after explaining a few words, he took the lead and crawled towards the entrance of the cave.
Another two minutes passed, when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were worried about Police Officer Wang, Officer Wang suddenly poked his head out and waved to them.
"There should be no problem, go over and have a look." Gu Chen said.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently. Although there was nothing wrong inside the cave, Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen still did not dare to slack off, and moved to the entrance of the cave with a crawling movement.
"Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, look quickly, there is nothing in this cave, and those three guys have disappeared." Police Officer Wang said with a puzzled expression on his face.
