Wu Wei immediately said to Robert: "Quick, use Google from your computer to bring up the topographic map around the Death Valley Artist Trail." ”

Robert ran into the study, took out his laptop, and quickly pulled up a topographical map of Death Valley. Then he pointed to a canyon and said: "This is it, the bare rocks on both sides of this valley are rich in various minerals, and after millions of years of oxidation and erosion, they have become colorful, like beautiful paintings, so it is called the Artist's Trail, this road is relatively narrow, cars cannot drive in, and the cliffs on both sides are also very steep." ”

Wu Wei took a look at the terrain of the artist's trail, and immediately had an idea in his heart, after more than ten years in the barracks, the study of following the scouts was not in vain, and he immediately began to assign tasks: "Now the time is urgent, we must take action immediately." Tianjiao and I drove to the intersection of the Artist's Trail, and I guessed that someone would stop us at the entrance, and we would both abandon the car and walk in from here. The three of you drove behind us, three kilometers away from us, that is, here," Wu Wei pointed to the topographic map and said to Yang Yan: "Yan Yan is responsible for driving the off-road vehicle, you have participated in the off-road rally, the terrain here should be difficult for you, you drive here and hide and wait for us." ”

Wuwei looked at Robert again and said, "Robert, you hide on this mountain peak with a sniper rifle, ready to meet us, if there are enemies chasing us, you will kill them." ”

"Then what am I doing?" asked Aaron.

"Your mission is important, you take a shotgun and hide at this junction, and if we haven't had time to get out of this valley and the other party's car is chasing here from the artist's path, you're responsible for stopping their car. ”

"Okay, promise not to let them pass. Aaron said firmly.

Wuwei looked at everyone and pointed to the computer screen and said: "I'll tell you the whole process, after Tianjiao and I entered the artist's path, I estimate that they will not be too far from the entrance, at most a few hundred meters, the other party will definitely arrange personnel to guard the entrance, we will run along the valley after rescuing Xiaojiao, which they can't imagine." Then we will climb to the top of the valley and flee towards the valley where Yang Yan is hidden, two kilometers away. If they were to chase us, they would just be exposed to Robert's guns. Then we got into Yang Yan's car and rushed out of this valley. If there is an accident, before our car comes out of this valley, if the chasing car arrives early, it will be Aaron to stop them. Did you get it?"

Several people nodded: "Understood." ”

"Brother Wuwei, how can you deal with them without weapons?" Yang Yan asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I have my own way, I'm worried that the other party will arrange someone nearby to monitor our every move, and ten minutes after Tianjiao and I leave, you will start to act again." Iwawa, give us your car, you drive Robert's Toyota domineering. ”

Yang Yan handed over the car keys to Wuwei, who walked into the bedroom, put two brand-new decks of playing cards into his pocket, and then came out and said to Tianjiao, "Let's go." ”

After Wuwei and Tianjiao left, Robert immediately said to Yang Yan and Alun, "Let's hurry up and prepare." ”

Robert walked into the study, took out an automatic shotgun with a magazine from the gun cabinet, he pulled the bolt and showed it to Aaron: "Aaron, this guy doesn't need to aim, you just need to fire the muzzle forward, this bullet can shoot five bullets, enough to kill an elephant." Robert then took two more boxes and packed all the weapons and ammunition he needed into them.

Robert went to the bedroom, took out three sets of wireless intercoms, and handed them to Yang Yan and Arun respectively, "Put this on, it's more convenient to use it to talk than a mobile phone." ”

The three of them were about to leave, when Robert suddenly remembered something, and he said to Yang Yan, "We must go buy a climbing rope first." ”

"Why?" asked Yang Yan.

"I've been to the Artist Trail, the sides of the canyon are very steep, and many places are difficult to climb, and you can't climb up without the help of things, and the surface of the rocks is very weathered, and the rocks can easily fall off when you climb up. In case they can't come up, it's dangerous. ”

"Oh, thanks to your thoughtfulness, Brother Wuwei had only been to Death Valley once, and he thought that the terrain there was the same as the place where I was rescued, and it was easy to climb up. Yang Yan was grateful to Robert from the bottom of his heart.

The three of them first went to the field store to buy climbing ropes, and when everything was ready, they drove out of Las Vegas.

After Wuwei hit the road, he kept in touch with Robert on his mobile phone, and ten minutes after he and Tianjiao entered Death Valley, Yang Yan drove a Toyota off-road to the entrance of the canyon.

Robert opened his laptop and examined the terrain of the canyon, looking for the fork in the road that Wuwei had let them into.

After a while, Wuwei's voice came from the phone: "Robert, we have reached the entrance of the Artist's Trail, and I see two people standing there. ”

"We've found that fork in the road, so you move slowly and try to drag it out as long as you can. ”

"Understood. After Wuwei finished speaking, he deducted the phone.

Wuwei and Tianjiao drove to the intersection of the artist's path, and stopped about 100 meters away from the entrance, and the two did not get out of the car.

Wuwei said to Tianjiao: "Let's wait in the car first, if the other party doesn't call to urge, we won't go over, and leave enough time for Robert and them." ”

"Brother Wuwei, if you see the people at the entrance looking at us, they must have noticed that we are coming. Tianjiao didn't call Mr. Wuwei Jiang, and unconsciously followed Yang Yan to call Brother Wuwei.

"If we don't go over, they will be suspicious, so let them think blindly for a while, so that the other party will be confused. ”

"Brother Wuwei, why don't you let Robert and them act first, what if they can't come?" Tianjiao said worriedly.

"I'm afraid that someone on the other side is watching us around the neighborhood where we live, and if Robert is discovered by the other party before us, they will definitely take measures, which will be very bad for us, and I estimate that Robert will be able to reach the designated location in more than ten minutes. ”

While the two were talking, they saw a person coming from the entrance, he cautiously came to Wuwei's car, looked at the two, and then asked, "Are you here to exchange hostages?"

Wuwei nodded, "Not bad." ”

"Then why don't you go there?" asked the visitor, confused.

"We're waiting for your call, how do we know what's going on inside if we don't call?" Wu Wei retorted.

"Then get out of the car and come with me now, and remember that you can't carry any weapons. ”

Wuwei and Tianjiao got out of the car, followed the comers, and slowly walked towards the narrow canyon mouth.

The mouth of the canyon is only two or three meters wide, the car can't pass at all, there are cliffs dozens of meters high on both sides, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and there is a tendency that the husband is not open. After walking more than ten meters towards the inside, he suddenly became enlightened. Wuwei thought to himself that these guys must have put a lot of thought into choosing this place, there were two people guarding the mouth of the canyon, and it was impossible to withdraw.

After entering the mouth of the canyon, sure enough, there were three people with weapons guarding here. The man who led them in stopped and said to Wuwei, "You two turn around, we have to check." ”

When Wuwei and Tianjiao heard this, they turned around very cooperatively, and Wuwei took out two decks of playing cards from his trouser pocket and held them in the palm of his hand while turning around.

One of them saw the playing cards held by Wuwei and hurriedly asked him, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"It's nothing, it's just ordinary playing cards. Wuwei said lightly.

"Show me. As he spoke, the man snatched the playing cards from Wu Wei's hand.

Wuwei hurriedly said: "Don't mess up the order of poker, there are complex passwords recorded in the poker cards, and if you mess up, you won't be able to enter our bank account, and you won't get any money." ”

When the man heard this, he took the playing card in his hand and looked at it, it was an ordinary deck of cards, and he handed it to Wuwei without any abnormality. Another person carefully examined Wuwei from top to bottom from behind, and found nothing. Tianjiao was also checked, and there were no suspicious items.

A guy with a miniature submachine gun said to the two, "Come with me." After speaking, he led Wuwei and Tianjiao towards the canyon.
