Chapter 811 (1/2)
At 3:20 p.m. on the 28th.
”Team leader, there's something ahead.”
”Hmm?” bagudi looked back from a distance, turned and jumped down from the stone. ”Show me.”
Stepping on the muddy mud, bagudi walked along with his next team member, and soon came to the Bank of the river. The team member stopped and pointed to the shallow water by the river: ”just found it.”
Bagudi narrowed his eyes and saw the body of a brown bear lying in the water. A branch with a thin wrist was inserted from the side of his brain, through his head and out of the other eye.
”There are signs of fighting around. They must have stayed here,” the team member said in a low voice. ”We found the footprints of two people here, but...”
”What?”
His men hesitated and said, ”when they came, there were two people, one woman a year, but when they left, only one person's footprints were men's.”
Bagudi nodded slightly: ”that person is either injured or dead. Of course, the possibility of injury is greater.”
”Not bad.” the group member nodded. ”When leaving, the steps were obviously deeper. There should be a load.”
Bagudi went into the water, pedaled the dead brown bear with his feet, bent down and looked at the wound on the side of the beast's brain quite seriously: ”they are exhausted, the wound is very new, and people don't go far.”
Straightening up, bagudi turned and looked at the upper reaches of the Yao River: ”are there footprints in front?”
The team member looked at another surveyor and shook his head: ”no, if you go a few hundred meters further, your footprints will be broken. They should have entered the mountain.”
”Ha ha, into the mountain?” bagudi sneered and immediately waved his hand. ”Use the fastest speed to call back all the search teams and chase upstream along the Yao River.”
”Chief, this...”
Bagudi frowned impatiently: ”you are still very young. Li Qing likes to lead others by the nose. They use their brains at the critical moment. They are unfamiliar with the terrain of Xilong and consume a lot of body. How can they choose to enter the mountain at this time?”
”Yes.” the members of the group responded with a deep voice, and then began to gather the team and swim up the Yao River.
Although it is nominally a special hunting team, the actual establishment is equivalent to a company, with more than ten people as a team, which is divided into ten teams in total. Before Hamai died, he planned to continue to expand the special hunting team, so he set up second-line and third-line echelons under it. However, because the combat effectiveness of the new team in the ancient Bailing River negotiation was too weak, it was not conducive to regulation and control. This time, after Li Qing and others, bagudi only brought his close old subordinates.
Among the ten teams under bagudi's control, six were sent to investigate in the surrounding primitive deep forests, and four teams with a total of more than 40 people remained in his hands.
As he was not sure which direction Li Qing would run in, and considering that there would be a block from the seventh infantry brigade in front, bagudi greatly slowed down his speed. But now that he had determined the trend of Li Qing and others, bagudi immediately recalled the other six investigation teams scattered around, and the marching speed was greatly accelerated.
At 5:30 pm that day, bagudi finally arrived at the place where Li Qing and others left for the last time.
The sky is gray, it doesn't rain anymore, the light and shadow around it are dim, and there seems to be a monster hidden in the dark forest.
A team member stepped forward, raised his feet and pedaled the remnants of the bonfire, turned his head and said, ”team leader, the fire was extinguished and the footprints were blurred. They should have left before the rain stopped.”
Bagudi squinted, then suddenly bent down and picked up a bloody gauze from the ground.
”There are indeed wounded... But... This is wrong.” bagudi frowned and slowly closed his eyes. The ferocious scar under the deformed right ear hurt again.
If there are really wounded people, Li Qing and his party have so much physical exertion, which must be the end of a powerful crossbow. How can they leave such obvious traces of tracking for themselves? Are they going to set up an ambush and lead themselves?
”No.” bagudi immediately denied the idea. He was holding a special hunting team without any loss of combat power. He was well armed. What did Li Qing ambush himself with?
Bagudi slowly opened his eyes, but his frown did not open. He pondered for a while and said in a deep voice, ”send two teams around to see if there are any other discoveries.”
”Yes.”
Under orders, the two teams carefully stepped into the virgin forest.
Bagudi stood there and waited quietly. The time passed minute by minute.
