Chapter 2136

With trepidation, Liu Xing still chose to stay at the top. In Liu Xing's view, he must not do the death thing.

Seeing Gu Chen forming a search formation and starting to divide into two groups, and outflanking the dense forest below, Liu Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took out his flashlight to cover everyone.

Since everyone was at different angles, the field of vision was wider at first.

But the further down the mountain, the more blind spots in the field of vision.

Since Gu Chen needed to ensure the safety of every member of the search team, he acted cautiously.

It can be said that everyone should be careful about any abnormalities in the forest, otherwise they will be easily caught by the other party.

"Damn it." Looking at the complex vegetation in front of him, Gu Chen suddenly stopped and began to look left and right.

"According to the footprints, the other party has indeed entered this dense forest, but his footsteps are also chaotic."

"It seems that the other party doesn't want to escape, but wants to trap us here."

"But……"

Thinking of this, Gu Chen suddenly hesitated again.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly took a defensive posture, retreated to Gu Chen's side, and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, what's wrong?"

"I think the other party seems to be playing tricks on us." Gu Chen said.

"Playing with us?" Lu Weiwei looked around and agreed, "I see, that's what the other party meant."

"I knew I couldn't escape, so I tricked us all into the woods, and then tried to defeat each of us."

"But there are so many of us."

"A large number of people is not necessarily an advantage." Gu Chen's words immediately left Lu Weiwei speechless.

Seeing that Gu Chen has never been so indecisive like today, Lu Weiwei also persuaded: "Junior Brother Gu, we don't need to worry too much, after all, the police equipment in our hands is not for display."

"If we see any dangerous behavior from the other party, we will shoot directly."

"That's the only way to go." Gu Chen couldn't say anything more, but he reminded Lu Weiwei beside him: "Senior Sister Lu, pull out your gun and follow me. Take charge of the flanks and rear at any time, and leave the front to me."

"Understood." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei certainly knew that Gu Chen wanted to leave the danger to himself and let him face the danger by himself.

And holding a domestic crack gun, he can hide behind Gu Chen as a cover.

But if the other party suddenly attacked Gu Chen, he could also shoot decisively.

There is no problem with the cooperation of the two.

I saw the mechanical baton in Gu Chen's hand, constantly tightening it.

Lu Weiwei knew that Gu Chen also started to get nervous.

Since Gu Chen wore the only set of four-eye night vision goggles in the team, he was quite handy at night.

Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha's team are in charge of the surrounding areas with better visibility.

Seeing the footprints on the ground continue to extend and turn, Gu Chen felt a little bit in his heart, and quickly stopped and looked around.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei immediately raised the muzzle of her gun, and her eyes began to watch her surroundings.

But at this moment, in Gu Chen's field of vision, there is still no heat source.

It's the thick and big trees.

But at this moment, that footprint has gradually become disorganized in the dense forest.

Sometimes it's going back and forth, and sometimes it's been intentionally smeared.

For a moment, the other party's whereabouts and intentions became a mystery, and Gu Chen became more and more nervous.

"Senior Sister Lu." Gu Chen reminded.

"Ah?" Lu Weiwei was stunned, and quickly asked Gu Chen, "What's wrong?"

"Pay attention to the back and flanks, especially the back, to prevent the opponent from attacking from behind. The opponent may have a machete in his hand."

Gu Chen was worried about Lu Weiwei, and continued to remind her.

Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "I understand, I will be careful."

"Follow me." Gu Chen frowned and continued to move forward.

But this time, Gu Chen was in a narrow area and did not follow up.

Instead, he went around to the back of another big tree, keeping a distance from the corner as much as possible, in order to prevent the opponent from suddenly coming out of the corner and catching him by surprise.

This search method can greatly reduce the degree of injury.

However, no matter how skillfully Gu Chen avoided the blind spot, he still couldn't find the other party's trace.

After a circle, Gu Chen suddenly found that the big tree in front of him seemed to be exactly the same as the place he walked by just now.

"It's not right." Gu Chen hurriedly stopped.

Lu Weiwei didn't pay attention, and bumped into Gu Chen, and hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Gu, why did you stop again?"

"We seem to be back again." Gu Chen said vigilantly.

"Come back?" Lu Weiwei was a little puzzled, and quickly looked around.

Gu Chen pointed to a big tree and said, "Just now I noticed that there is a bent and growing trunk on the stump of this big tree."

"But after a circle, the trunk is still here."

Looking down at his feet, Gu Chen said again: "There are still these footprints, going around and around, we have returned to the original point, and now the footprints in the snow are more messy, it is already difficult to see whether it is our footprints or the opponent's footprints. "

"I see." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei also realized that danger was nearby.

Quickly approached Gu Chen vigilantly, and whispered: "The other party deliberately led us into the woods, and then tried to use these thick trees as cover to make a detour with us."

"The purpose is to draw us in, and then destroy the footprints on the ground, so that we can't tell the specific position of the other party. The other party is counter-reconnaissance, and we were fooled."

"That's right." Gu Chen sighed heavily, and also discovered the other party's true intentions.

Just as Lu Weiwei predicted just now, everyone could still track them based on their footprints.

In this way, no matter how the other party escapes, it will always be difficult to escape the pursuit of the police.

But now, the other party used the method of going around in circles to keep Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei following the footprints all the way.

Moreover, the other party's escape route is also very tricky. They don't follow a straight line, but follow you around corners from time to time, following you vertically.

At first it was forward, and then suddenly to the right or left, sometimes the footprints were even backwards, and sometimes, the footprints were deliberately erased by the other party, resulting in a blur of road footprints.

In this way, in the surrounding thick woods, the footprints were crushed over and over again, and soon became messy.

In addition, the woods at night are already dark, even if everyone has a flashlight, it is difficult to find the target location.

Gu Chen sometimes went to take off the four-eye night vision device, and it was time to search with the flashlight.

After waiting for some areas with suspected targets, Gu Chen will wear a four-eye night vision goggle for a short observation, and then take the final action.

In this way, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei cooperated with each other and found that they had fallen into each other's trap.

Gu Chen, who felt bad suddenly, also sighed softly, and reminded: "It seems that if we go on like this, we will only be led by the nose by the other party, Senior Sister Lu."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei hurried to Gu Chen's side: "What's wrong?"

"Retreat." Gu Chen said.

"Retreat, don't look for it anymore?" Lu Weiwei looked surprised.

Gu Chen shook his head: "I don't want to look anymore, let Senior Brother Wang tell them to stop searching."

"But……"

Hearing Gu Chen's arrangement, Lu Weiwei seemed a little disappointed.

Obviously, this is not Gu Chen's style of doing things.

If you fail to achieve your goal, you just give up halfway and let the other party go. If you want to find the other party again, it must be more difficult than reaching the sky.

But Gu Chen is the leader after all, he said he would not look for it, and Lu Weiwei couldn't force anything, so he could only sigh and said helplessly:

"Okay, listen to you."

The two adjusted for a short time before quickly retreating behind them.

When retreating, Gu Chen stopped and kept watching the surrounding situation.

Since the footprints at this moment are already in a mess, Gu Chen is not sure, where will the other party come to surprise him?

But when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei retreated to the position where they entered the thick woods, everything seemed so quiet.

Afterwards, Gu Chen used the flashlight to keep flashing towards Officer Wang, reminding Officer Wang to retreat.

Officer Wang also understood Gu Chen's prompt, and immediately took Yuan Shasha back from the other side.

When the two groups of people joined together, Police Officer Wang asked curiously, "Gu Chen, didn't you find any clues?"

"There are some clues, but..." Gu Chen was half-sentenced, but he hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Officer Wang didn't quite understand.

Lu Weiwei also sighed, and said helplessly: "It's strange to say, this guy really knows the jungle anti-reconnaissance very well."

"We followed each other's footprints and tracked all the way to the open area. I don't think there is a big problem, and the opponent's footprints are clear."

"But as soon as we reached the thick forest, the opponent's footprints became extremely irregular."

After a pause, Lu Weiwei also gestured to everyone: "Sometimes, the opponent will step forward, and the footprints are very far apart."

"Sometimes, the opponent will suddenly move laterally, that is, the toe is ahead, but the opponent is walking laterally."

"Other times, the other party seems to be walking backwards, and there are no footprints at the heel position in some places."

"What's even more outrageous is that in some areas, the opponent even used his own shoes to deliberately smooth out the footprints in the snow, disrupting our search rhythm."

With a heavy sigh, Lu Weiwei also said helplessly: "The current situation is that the other party takes us around the corner, over and over again, and we have returned to the original point several times in a row."

"As a result, our footprints on the ground were all messed up, and we stepped on it several times."

"Hey boy, won't you be more careful? Are you avoiding those original footprints?" Officer Wang became anxious when he heard that.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly: "Bypass? Old Wang, you said it very lightly. At that time, Junior Brother Gu and I were nervous and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest."

"You keep staring at the footprints in front of you and the surrounding trees. In that environment, how can you concentrate all your attention on your feet? It must be in the surrounding environment?"

"But in this way, we focus on other places, and we will inevitably ignore our feet."

"When we found out that we were deceived by the other party time and time again, it was only then that we realized that the footprints under our feet had already been messed up, and it was difficult to distinguish each other."

"Hey, what should we do?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Officer Wang also had a headache.

Seeing this, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but say:

"It seems that the other party is very smart and deliberately causing trouble for us, but the other party is also very clear that his purpose is to trap us in the jungle."

"We won't look for it anymore." Gu Chen said.

"What?" Officer Wang was stunned, and then asked in a low voice, "Gu Chen, are you not looking for it anymore? Why?"

"We can't fall into the chess game designed by the opponent." Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang scratched the back of his head and said in confusion, "I don't understand."

"It's very simple." Gu Chen looked around, waved his hand, and let everyone get closer to him.

When everyone gathered together, Gu Chen said: "The other party obviously wants to introduce us into the woods. What is the purpose of introducing us into the woods?"

"Uh, stuck with us?" Yuan Shasha said.

"That's right, the opponent's purpose is to take advantage of the terrain and keep us trapped in the jungle."

"But before I searched, I had already observed the surrounding terrain. Going down, it is the jungle we searched just now. There are many thick trees there, which can be used as cover for the opponent."

"However, it is difficult to get out of the jungle from that side, because the terrain here is not very permissible."

"Moreover, once the opponent leaves this thick jungle, no matter where the opponent walks, it will be a blind spot on the route."

"Because Liu Xing, the owner of the Explorers Club, also said that this trail is a road that everyone explored and explored."

"And everyone still needs to rely on the road signs carved on the trunk to guide the way, so as to ensure that they don't get lost."

"Otherwise, you may mistakenly enter the snake's nest, or encounter a beast. Therefore, if you want to cross the Fairy Peak, you must not deviate from the established route and take a road that has never been taken before."

"Because the risk of doing so is too great, and it is very likely that you will lose your life."

"I see." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei suddenly realized, and quickly echoed:

"The other party wants to use the maze of the forest to trap us in it, and then take the opportunity to escape. Follow the original route and continue to cross the Fairy Peak, so as to achieve the purpose of escaping from the hinterland of the Fairy Peak."

Sighing lightly, Lu Weiwei said again: "As long as we guard that path, the other party will have nothing to do, and we dare not deviate too far from the established route, otherwise we may die in the hinterland of Fairy Girl Peak."

"Oh, so that's the case?" Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Police Officer Wang seemed to understand the truth, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"That's fine, he'll go his way, we won't follow, just wait for him here, and see how long he's going to hide?"

Looking around, Officer Wang said again: "Anyway, we have a lot of people, and we have prepared a lot of equipment and food. It takes time. We have plenty of time."

"Yes, there are four of us after all." Yuan Shasha said.

When Lu Weiwei heard the words, she immediately corrected her and said, "No, there are five of us, isn't there another Liu Xing who is covering us from above?"

Here Lu Weiwei's voice fell, and everyone immediately looked up in the direction they came from.

But at this time, the front was already dark, and there were no two figures.

Lu Weiwei looked confused: "Eh? Where did Liu Xing go?"

...
