C15 (1/2)
I was unable to describe the level of shock and panic I felt at that time. I could only pull the ocean towards the water hole, afraid that Ji Xiang would be persecuted if I was late!
Since Hu Guangzu was once from Zhenyuan company, why was he still alive when everyone was in trouble?
He could call the police and return to the company, but he did not do so. Instead, he returned back to Wild Mountain and pretended to be an honest and straightforward person.
Although Ji Xiang is crazy, but when she saw Hu Guangzu, she still excitedly begged Hu Guangzu not to kill him. At first, we thought it was nonsense, but now, it seems that Ji Xiang must have seen something that caused such a strong reaction.
Why was Hu Guangzu hiding everything?
Ji Xiang is the only person who knows, I can't let anything happen to her. If she dies, then there won't be a second person who knows about the Wild Mountain, so I have to ensure her safety. Thinking about this, the fear in my heart increased even more, and after following Hai Yang hurriedly back to the cave in the water, I saw that there was no one on the boat.
Even though I had already predicted this kind of situation, I still found it a little hard to accept it. Hai Yang was so angry that he leaped into a rage, saying that he would see Hu Guangzu a little more, and he would definitely not be able to bear the consequences.
If I had known earlier, I would have brought Ji Xiang with me instead of letting him succeed!
Hai Yang searched for a while longer before saying, ”Besides the big sister, even our luggage and equipment have disappeared. Even the diesel on board the ship has been disposed of by him. He has cut off our escape routes. He wants us all dead in the mountains!”
”Find!” We must immediately find Hu Guangzu and prevent anything bad from happening to him. Only she knows where the old man is! ”
We were scouts when the sea was in the army, so we were good at scouting. We went back to the British ship, took a lot of weapons and food, and followed the trail.
Following the sea, I stopped in my tracks. I was puzzled as to what had happened.
Hai Yang shook her head: ”Something is not right. From the footprints, I can see that and I are not the same, but Hu Guangzu is chasing after her, so the footprints leading from the front and back have a very big gap.”
I anxiously said, ”Why do you have to care so much? It's more important to find the person first!”
In the beginning, we could still follow the footprints, but after we entered the forest, there were rotten branches and leaves, potholes and holes everywhere, and all kinds of disgusting worms were crawling about on their feet. The most unacceptable thing was that these dead branches and rotten leaves were all fluffy, and there might be holes if we stepped on them, but it wouldn't be long before they would recover, so after chasing us for a few hundred meters, we were completely disoriented.
Looking back, we have already entered deep into the forest of Wild Mountain. Around us are large trees that cover the sky and cover the earth. The bushes are densely packed and there are no references, as though we have lost ourselves in the forest.
Although Hai Yang is still trying her best to identify the footprints, I already know in my heart that it is impossible to catch up with Hu Guangzu and Ji Xiang. Furthermore, it seems that even the heavens are purposely going against us, as a drizzle has started to fall, the forest started to get foggy, and the fog is getting bigger, causing us to only be able to see a few meters ahead of us. In this kind of environment, not to mention finding people, it is extremely difficult to maintain our visibility!
We took out ropes from our backpacks and tied them around our waists, one behind the other as we advanced through the forest. We did this to prevent ourselves from getting separated, and after walking for a few hundred meters, the sea crashed into a tree trunk. He was so angry that he swore and sat down on the tree and said: ”No, f * ck, if we continue walking, don't say we can't find anyone, we're going to lose ourselves!”
I was also very depressed. The fog was so thick that I couldn't even see the road in front of us, let alone find someone. Even if we walked by them, we probably wouldn't know.
I wiped the rain off my face. ”Sitting here isn't an option. Let's find a place to shelter ourselves from the rain. Once the mist has dispersed and the rain stops, we'll head back to the valley to take a look.”
Hai Yang was about to get up, but she suddenly frowned and stood in place.
Seeing his puzzled expression, I kicked his butt and asked, ”What's wrong with you?”
Hai Yang turned around and looked at me strangely. ”Sanjin, did you hear anything just now?”
I was so confused that I didn't pay any attention to my surroundings. I listened closely to the words of the sea, only hearing the sound of the rain. I couldn't hear anything but ask, ”I didn't hear anything. What did you hear?”
Hai Yang's expression wasn't right, but she didn't seem to be sure either. ”I can't say. I seemed to have heard it just now, but when I listened carefully it was gone. It was intermittent.”
I could see that he was serious and listened carefully, but I could not hear anything and could only urge him to leave. If he stayed any longer, his clothes would be all wet.
Hai Yang doubtfully scratched her head and didn't continue walking forward. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and said, ”That's not right. Listen, it has appeared again!”
Hai Yang's expression was solemn and her face was pale, but I really didn't hear anything. I thought to myself, I shouldn't have, I'm not deaf, so how come I can only hear the sound of the sea but not me?
I whispered to him, ”What did you hear?”
Hai Yang revealed a complicated expression. ”It's hard to explain. It's like the sound of someone tapping on the keyboard. Damn it, is someone playing with the computer beside us?”
Just as the voice of the sea faded away, the fog suddenly emitted a clear sound of ”Drip Drip Drip Drip”. This time, not only the sea heard it, even I could clearly hear it.
Hai Yang exclaimed, ”That's the voice I just heard!”
I panicked, then said happily, ”Could it be the British team? They're nearby with their laptops.”
Thinking of this, we immediately became excited, and rushed towards the source of the sound. However, after rushing for about ten meters, we realized that there was nothing in the fog, but the sound of ”Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip” resounded in the surroundings. It seemed as though it was coming from afar. Are you lost? ”
