Chapter 2133

Under the leadership of Liu Xing, the group continued to move towards the hinterland of Fairy Peak.

At this moment, on the treetops in the mountains, the snow is melting.

When everyone came to the river that blocked the way that night, the river was obviously much wider than before.

The reason is also very simple. The melting of snow water has brought sufficient water to this river.

"I'll go first." Without waiting for Gu Chen and the others to hesitate, Liu Xing put on his overshoes and began to tentatively test the depth of the river with the trekking pole in his hand.

Seeing that the river was not too deep, he crossed the river cautiously.

When he came to the opposite bank, Liu Xing took off his overshoes and threw them to Gu Chen on the other bank.

The distance of a few meters from the river makes it easy for everyone to throw objects in the air.

After Gu Chen put on the overshoes, he hung his hiking shoes around his neck after connecting them with shoelaces.

Then, following Liu Xing's method just now, he continued to move forward tentatively and slowly.

When Gu Chen came to the other side, he threw the overshoes to Lu Weiwei again.

Several people also crossed the river step by step in the process of picking up replacement shoes.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei said involuntarily, "The overshoes, why not just hang them on the branches here? When we come back later, we can take them off to cross the river. It would be a burden to carry them."

"No." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Liu Xing denied it and continued to explain:

"It's convenient to hang this kind of overshoes here, but have you ever thought about it? Once someone else takes it away, what will we do if we cross the river again?"

"Then you can only cross the river with wet legs." Yuan Shasha said.

Liu Xing nodded silently: "That's right, in this kind of wild area, it's best to keep your belongings safe."

"We only have one pair of galoshes, which are the supplies we need to cross the river, so the high-tube galoshes must be brought with you and cannot be lost."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xing professionally took out a non-woven bag and put the overshoes into it.

Afterwards, Liu Xing hung the overshoes on the back of his travel bag before repacking and moving on.

Police Officer Wang walked past Lu Weiwei, and said sarcastically, "Did you see Lu Weiwei? What is a profession? This is called a profession. Learn more."

"Desert!" Lu Weiwei rolled her eyes at Police Officer Wang, and then said softly to Gu Chen who had already set off: "Junior Brother Gu, wait for me."

A group of people continued to follow Liu Xing's footsteps, and kept shuttling back and forth in the hinterland of Fairy Peak.

The trees here grow wildly, and the branches are scattered all over the place, so everyone needs to avoid the branches from time to time during the walking process, which brings a lot of trouble for everyone to move forward.

Fortunately, Liu Xing, who was leading the way, was equipped with a sharp blade, and he just chopped at the small branches in front of him.

This technique suddenly reminded Gu Chen of Huba who bought a multifunctional saber at a high price in a military fan supply store, so Gu Chen casually mentioned:

"Boss Liu, do you outdoor adventurers usually have a machete like this?"

"Ah?" was suddenly asked by Gu Chen, Liu Xing was also dazed for a few seconds, and then he reacted, and quickly smiled and said:

"Oh, Officer Gu, entering the dense forest, especially the dense forest that needs to enter the hinterland of Fairy Peak, if you are not equipped with this kind of multifunctional knife, it will be difficult to advance."

Pointing to a few branches blocking the way in front of him, Liu Xing waved the blade in his hand, and cut off the branches in two or three times, and then said:

"If you don't cut off a branch like this, it will waste a lot of time on your way forward."

"You have to dodge, but there are some plants that you can't dodge, so you need to cut the mess quickly, so a handy multifunctional knife is essential."

"So it's like this?" Hearing what Liu Xing said, Gu Chen also thought of Huba.

Thinking of Huba buying a knife of the same type in the days before camping on the top of Fairy Peak.

Gu Chen suddenly felt, does Huba also have plans to enter the dense forest?

Of course, this is also a question that Gu Chen thought of accidentally after seeing Liu Xing's actions.

"I found it." Just as everyone moved forward, Liu Xing found another mark.

Liu Xing pointed to the mark on the tree with the blade, and said, "Go left, there is a sign for a vertical left turn, I remember, I carved this on it myself."

While speaking, Liu Xing picked up the blade again, and scratched another notch on the mark on the trunk.

"It's done." After completing the operation, Liu Xing also explained to everyone:

"Some marks may not be found after a long time, and they may not be very obvious. At this time, we need to copy it again."

"Yeah." Gu Chen didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.

Under the leadership of Liu Xing, everyone went back and forth, turned over two mountains, passed through countless marked places, and came to a valley at this time.

Liu Xing opened the way ahead, looking for signs, and cutting branches. He was also a little tired at the moment, so he turned around, looked at Gu Chen and said:

"Officer Gu, how about we take a rest here?"

Gu Chen looked around and felt that this was the lowest point of the valley.

Looking up, there are tall mountains all around, and the light here is dim, giving people an extremely quiet feeling.

Considering Liu Xing's hard work, Gu Chen nodded in agreement and said, "That's fine, just take a few minutes rest."

"Later, I will lead the way and help you cut branches."

"Then thank you, Officer Gu." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Liu Xing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Constantly twisting his arms, he seemed exhausted.

Gu Chen picked up Liu Xing's blade on the ground, wiped the dirt on both sides of the blade on his cuff, and held it in front of his eyes.

The cold light of the blade shone on Gu Chen's face. Gu Chen seemed to feel that there might be other versions of the attack that happened on the top of the mountain?

On the top of Fairy Peak, according to Zhao Lei's words, Huba found a strange movement, so he went behind the tree to check the situation.

In the end, he was attacked by an unknown person, and he was bitten on the neck by the other party. Obviously, Gu Chen felt that this kind of attack was too weird.

Of course, there are also some emotions of Zhao Lei rendered in it.

But Gu Chen certainly knows that if Huba is an experienced outdoor explorer, then when he finds abnormal noises around the tent at night, the first thing Huba should do is to protect himself from being attacked by wild animals.

This can be known from the chat between Huba and Zhao Lei. Huba once fought with bears and wolves.

This kind of experience seems to be commonplace for Huba.

And Huba is also very clear that there may be some aggressive beasts in the forest of Fairy Maiden Peak.

Then, when Huba heard the movement, would he take out that multifunctional saber as self-defense?

So with a saber in his hand, how did he, Huba, be bitten by the neck by the attacker? This is obviously not in line with normal operation.

"What's the problem?" Thinking of this, Gu Chen also frowned.

After drinking some water, Lu Weiwei also noticed that Gu Chen had been standing there, observing the situation in front of him.

So Lu Weiwei walked to Gu Chen's side, and also reminded: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think that this Chen Li is too courageous?"

"Senior Sister Lu has this feeling?" Gu Chen turned to look at Lu Weiwei.

Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "Isn't this obvious?"

"In such a gloomy environment, a woman, just crossing the Fairy Peak, not to mention anything else, just the few of us walking together, I feel that the surroundings are full of weirdness."

"Unexpectedly, the beasts in the mountains will rush out of the woods and fight with us."

Looking over the rest of the people, Lu Weiwei said again: "Look at us again, there are so many of us, and we are still worried about this kind of emergency."

"But Chen Li is alone, isn't she worried that she will be attacked by some wild animals in the woods?"

"You're right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Weiwei's remarks.

This was also Gu Chen's previous worry.

After all, being able to survive alone in the jungle is very difficult, even for myself.

Even if Chen Li is given good enough outdoor survival equipment, Chen Li is a woman after all. Can she withstand the attack of wild beasts?

Sometimes Gu Chen is also very contradictory, not sure what is the purpose of Chen Li doing this?

But vaguely, it seems that the situation is not so simple.

At least what is Chen Li's motivation for doing this?

Looking at the dark forest in front of me and the tall mountains around, this kind of visual sense of looking up at the mountains from the valley, the oppressive feeling of the mountains blows to my face.

And in this forest, there are also some strange noises from time to time, which makes everyone feel creepy just listening to the sound.

"Okay, let's go quickly, we need to buy time." Seeing that everyone had already had a short rest, Gu Chen urged again.

Liu Xing sighed helplessly, picked up the trekking pole beside him again, and stood up.

When he came to Gu Chen's side, Liu Xing also patted Gu Chen on the shoulder, reminding him: "Officer Gu, we usually cross the Fairy Peak, we need to maintain enough physical strength and enough rest time."

"Rushing so hard, I'm afraid everyone will run out of energy in the future."

"What we have is physical strength." As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Gu Chen sent Liu Xing back with a word.

Liu Xing was a little speechless. After all, although he was an experienced outdoor adventure coach, he was particular about scientific exploration.

Maintaining sufficient food and physical strength has always been Liu Xing's top priority.

But now, the tasks are different. Seeing these policemen, they seem to be racing against time.

And I originally came here to help, so I stopped complaining after thinking about it, just nodded, pointed to the multifunctional blade in Gu Chen's hand and said:

"Then this machete, officer Gu can use it to open the way."

"Okay, everyone follow me." Gu Chen didn't refuse, just waved the blade in his hand twice, and took the lead in walking in the front row.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly followed behind Gu Chen.

Then came Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, and finally Liu Xing.

Because Gu Chen had already kept in mind the location of the mark marked by Liu Xing on the map.

So Gu Chen was able to quickly find some of the arrow marks while chopping the branches to open the way.

When seeing some signs engraved on the tree trunks are not clear, Gu Chen will follow Liu Xing's example and copy and engrave the signs again.

Just like that, Gu Chen led the team and led everyone to climb a high mountain again.

At this moment, while Gu Chen was leading everyone down the mountain, the sky gradually darkened.

Although the sun has not yet set, the various vegetation in the mountains and the obstruction of the mountain make the walking road dim, and it has already entered the dark time ahead of time.

Gu Chen turned on the bright flashlight and hung it on the shoulder button of the mountaineering suit.

Seeing this situation, everyone followed suit one after another, based on the principle of energy saving.

Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang and Liu Xing chose to turn on the flashlight, while Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha served as backup power sources.

For this reason, we have prepared some spare flashlights, which are sufficient for lighting at night.

But just after Gu Chen was about to chop off a tree branch in front of him with a knife, he suddenly found that the branch seemed to have been broken.

Gu Chen frowned, and hurriedly took a closer look, and suddenly found something tricky.

"What's wrong, Junior Brother Gu?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurried to Gu Chen's side.

Gu Chen pointed to the broken branch in front of him, and explained: "The cut of the branch is very smooth, obviously it was cut off by a blade."

"And, judging from the degree of incision, it's still very new." Lu Weiwei followed closely.

The two looked at each other, and immediately became alert.

Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and Liu Xing who came after them also came to Gu Chen.

"Someone came here before us, and cut off the branch in front of us." Gu Chen reminded.

Officer Wang looked puzzled: "It's strange, why did the cut branches appear from here? Before we walked all the way, we also found many branches blocking the way."

"But at that time, there was no trace of the branch being cut by the blade. What's going on?"

"Does it need to be said?" As soon as Officer Wang's voice fell, Yuan Shasha on the side explained:

"Obviously, the reason why the branches blocking the way were not cut off may be that the assailant was afraid that the people who searched the mountain would find traces, so he deliberately walked around, trying not to leave traces of broken branches. "

"In this way, you can avoid tracking and expose yourself."

Looking at the broken branches in front of her, Yuan Shasha said again: "But it's different now. Being able to go all the way here means that very few people can reach it."

"In this place, the attacker must have felt that no one will search the hinterland of the forest here."

"So, out of the idea of ​​saving energy, the attackers began to cut off the branches in front of them to make a way for themselves."

"That makes sense." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Gu Chen nodded in agreement:

"Xiao Yuan's words are very reasonable. The other party may mean this. He was overly cautious before because he was afraid of being followed."

"After all, the broken vegetation in the woods may cause trouble for myself to track."

"But if the opponent walks deliberately and cautiously in the woods when retreating in the early stage, then the opponent can avoid this from happening."

Looking around, Gu Chen said again: "But now, the other party must not expect that we will track all the way here."

"Obviously, the front is tight and the back is sending. The other party should be nearby, and it should not be able to escape."
