Chapter 115: A Void
I don't know if it's the psychological effect after listening to the driver's explanation.
Yu Zhe had a feeling that there were eyes staring at them from all directions, which made him feel furious in his heart, no matter how strong his physical ability was, he couldn't stop several people from attacking him with guns at the same time.
But fortunately, there was no danger, and in the end he arrived at the destination under the guidance of the driver.
Although it was the destination, it was still a long, long distance from the base he was going to, but the situation was the same as in the previous country, and the further inside was the mountain road, and the car could not continue to move forward, so he had to rely on foot.
Besides, the road ahead is very dangerous, and you can't ask the driver to go with him to die.
After getting out of the car, Yu Zhe paid the driver fifty times the fare as promised, but just as the driver was about to turn around and leave, he stopped him and said: "It's better for you to wait for me any longer, otherwise I won't be able to go back to this wilderness when I come out." ”
"Don't be kidding, it's already very dangerous here, if you stay too long, I'm afraid there will be problems, you just let me go back......" The driver shirked in every possible way, it was already the limit for him to agree to come here, and now Yu Zhe's proposal really scared him.
"Aren't you short of money?" Yu Zhe asked rhetorically, "If you are willing to wait for me, I will pay you two more equal fares for this fare, and when I come out and take me back to the airport, I will pay you one more." ”
Although he had a hunch that Shi Duluo must be in this country, he still left a back road for himself, so as not to have an inaccurate premonition, and after coming out, he couldn't get a taxi in this wilderness, and he didn't know how much time he would waste walking back.
"You ......" The driver was obviously shaken, the temptation of this price is too great, in this period of war, even if he drives a taxi for a week endlessly, he may not be able to earn such a large fare, and if he is willing to wait, he can even get four times the price, but he is still a little hesitant in his heart, after all, the risk is not more than four times.
"Don't hesitate, think about it, now when you go back, you have to face the danger of being discovered by those troops, wait for me, take me back, the risk is the same, then why don't you make this money?" Yu Zhe continued to vigorously tempt the driver to follow his advice.
"It's just...... I don't know how long I'll have to wait for you. The driver still said with concern, "This mountain is very dangerous, in case it ......."
As the driver spoke, he suddenly felt that it was unlucky to say this, so he stopped talking.
"You just need to wait for me for sixteen hours from now on, if I haven't come out by then, I guess I'm dead, you can just leave. Yu Zhe did not shy away from what he said, in order to completely dispel the concerns in the driver's heart, he took out a wad of money directly from the box, and handed it directly to the driver without counting it, "These should be deposits, if I don't come out, I can't let you wait in vain." ”
The driver looked at the money handed over, his mind was full of scenes of his family starving in the ruins, and then he thought about the increasingly uncirculated currency on the black market, if he didn't take advantage of the fact that he made a lot of money now, and exchanged the money for cans, in a few days, even if he made money, he couldn't spend it.
So the driver simply took the money and nodded firmly to Yu Zhe, then parked the car in an inconspicuous corner and began to wait.
Yu Zhe did not waste time, after checking the incident of the watch, he plunged into the mountains and forests, it is just past noon, the sun is shining, and he must take advantage of the fact that there is still some sunshine to find the position quickly, otherwise, the road ahead may become very dangerous, otherwise he may miss a lot of details by exploring with a flashlight.
However, with the experience of the last time, Yu Zhe also summed up a little experience in searching, and according to the characteristics of the site selection of the previous base, he also found seven similar places on the map here, and he was confident that the real base must be in these locations.
With the plan in place, his actions went much more smoothly, and it took him only three hours to identify and eliminate five of them, in order of near and far.
At this time, it was almost half past four, looking at the map, the remaining two places were too far away, and the sun was about to set soon, although he was already hungry, but it was not time to stop, take advantage of the daytime to hurry a little more, and when it was really almost night, it was not too late to tidy up.
After another hour or so, the sun was about to disappear, so Yu Zhe took advantage of this time to speed up his pace, or before the sky was completely dark, he found the sixth location he marked, but unfortunately, this is still not the real address of the base.
For a while, Yu Zhe was also a little hesitant, what if he guessed wrong...... Maybe the base is no longer among these locations at all, then it will be troublesome, and if you search from scratch, the time cost is simply too large to calculate.
After all, the mountains and forests here are twice as large as before, and the terrain is more complicated, so you can get lost if you are not careful.
However, after a few bites of biscuits, he regained his confidence, and the last place was the farthest and most hidden from the foot of the mountain, and it was more likely than the previous ones, and if it wasn't here, the other places that he had ruled out in the first place were even less likely.
The process of exploration is difficult, especially in the dark.
What made him feel even more desperate was that he had already felt very close to the last location, but there was no trace of the trap being arranged, and he had been careful to even the extent that the surrounding environment was full of grass and trees, but in fact it was just him fighting with himself.
This is extremely abnormal.
According to the way the previous base was built, they definitely had a habit of setting traps, and there should be someone to keep watch around, but now, if there is no sign of anything, will it indicate that the base is not here at all.
He couldn't think about it until the last moment, but he decided to continue to explore, maybe he would see another village.
As it turned out, his choice was correct, and ten minutes later, when the familiar building appeared in front of his eyes again, he realized that he had indeed come to the wrong place.
It's just that the biggest problem is that it doesn't want to be a human at all, and the situation is the same as in the previous country.
He cautiously continued to test forward, and after confirming that there was really no one, he quickly ran over.
The only difference between the house here and the previous place is that it is probably full of dust, which choked Yu Zhe for a while, and then kicked up a lot of dust......
Yu Zhe had to retreat first, and waited for the "dust to settle" in the house before carefully entering the house again, so as not to cause any more dust.
In this room, it doesn't look like there's an extraordinary.
Not to mention the dust and cobwebs, even the table felt dilapidated, and one of the table legs was jagged and crooked across the room from the rats.
Conservative estimates, no one has lived here for a year.
However, this does explain why there are no traces of traps in the forest, and if too much time has passed, I am afraid that the traces will be buried long ago.
But none of this matters, although he is now in the right place, but it is obvious that the group of mercenaries "moved" did not move here, could it be that he was wrong......
There was some despair in his heart, obviously he felt that everything was in order, but he just didn't find it, and he didn't know if Qi Ya Xiaojian had gained anything, but now they haven't contacted each other, I'm afraid they haven't found it.
Or, in fact, they found it, but they could hide it from him......
People are prone to cranky thinking when they are confused, and Yu Zhe is no exception, almost in a few minutes, he made up a whole set of Xiao Jian and Qi Ya partnership routines and his schemes, but everything is untenable, and the other party seems to have no reason to design a big situation to deceive him.
Readjust your mentality, now that you've come this far, you can't give up easily, and there's one last place to explore, and you have to save time.
Yu Zhe had a strong sense of direction, and followed the traces he left in the forest, which only he could see and understand, and soon returned to the foot of the mountain and the place agreed with the driver
"Found what you're looking for?" The driver was a little surprised that Yu Zhe came back so soon, and although he didn't know the details, he still asked.
Yu Zhe shook his head and didn't speak, and sat in the co-pilot's seat, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.
Taking advantage of the night, the car drove towards the airport, and it was dark all around, only the moonlight faintly reflected the outline of the building, and in the silence, only the sound of tires crushing on the bumpy road could be heard.
"Have you ever seen this thing?" Yu Zhe discouraged himself as he handed the ghost mercenary's sign to the driver and looked at it, seeing that he often drove a taxi to all corners of the city, he felt that there might be a glimmer of hope.
"Is this a soldier's sign?" the driver looked carefully at the pattern on the sign, and felt that he had not seen it, and it may not belong to the official army or the militia.
"Then do you know where someone has this kind of sign?" Although from the driver's tone, he could already hear that there was not much hope, but Yu Zhe still asked one last sentence.
"I'm sorry, but I haven't seen this sign either. The driver answered Yu Zhe truthfully, but if you have time, you can go to the south to see, our family escaped from there, the strength of the militia over there has risen sharply recently, and the official army has been repelled several times in a row, with the strength of those militias themselves, I am afraid that they will not be able to do this, it is likely that there is 'foreign aid', the person you are looking for is likely to be where. ”
"Oh, where is the south?" Yu Zhe felt that he suddenly saw hope, and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know the specifics, but you're going to the south, it's a bit far, our current location is almost the northernmost part of the entire Y country, and it will take about six or seven hours to reach the south by train, but now that the war is raging, the train is basically used to transport supplies, and I'm afraid it's a little difficult to get there." ”
Yu Zhe didn't continue, but was thinking about whether it was necessary to go to the south, according to what the driver said, he really wanted to have mercenaries there, but there must be more than one mercenary organization, and if he found the wrong person, he would waste a few more hours in vain.
Just as he was thinking about it, a loud bang suddenly exploded not far away, followed by a whirlwind of the sky.
