Chapter 157: Tempting the Truth and the Void
After Sawyer and Jim figured out their strategy, they used the cover of the jungle to slowly approach the last members of the search team...
The person who walked at the end of the line was none other than Qian Chong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he asked Lu Qingxuan to walk at the front of the team, which was to take advantage of Lu Qingxuan's strong observation ability. With Lu Qingxuan's finesse, he will never miss any clues. And the rest of this team has become the ones who escort Lu Qingxuan. Qian Chong left himself at the back of the team, and naturally he had his own considerations.
Qian Chong knew in his heart that only he and Lu Qingxuan knew the details of the current owner of the wooden house. Therefore, he would be very careful to beware of the attack of the owner of the wooden house in the shadows. Others are unaware of the horror of the owner of the cabin. I am afraid that carelessness and paralyzing thoughts will arise.
He knew that if the owner of the wooden house wanted to destroy them, he would not be able to attack them from the front. It is possible that they will adopt a sneak attack strategy first. Then, starting from behind is the best choice for the other party. Qian Chong realized this, so he came to the palace by himself.
Of course, he is not afraid of death, but he wants to use his alertness to prevent the other party from giving any chance.
He held a sturdy wooden stick in his hand, and instead of focusing on the front, he kept an eye on the end.
Because of his caution, this makes it difficult for Sawyer and Jim, who are following behind. Because of the close to the foot of the mountain, the jungle is not very dense. Since Qian Chong occasionally turned his head to pay attention to his back, it was difficult to give them a chance to get close, let alone touch and kill.
Bulon and Chawang, who were sandwiched in the middle of the team, were surprised by Qian Chong's arrangement. Originally, the two of them were allowed to participate in the search for the exit, so they secretly decided that once they found the exit, they would abandon everyone and flee for their lives. But...
Besides, Lu Qingxuan walked in front, although he was followed by more than ten people, but he knew that most of the people behind him were in charge of guarding. If you miss the secret exit hidden at the foot of the mountain, it will be difficult for the people behind you to find out. Therefore, he can only be cautious, and then cautious!
It took about two hours or so for them to grope for three or four miles. Everyone was a little annoyed, for they had been struggling for days, and from last night until this morning, they had only eaten half a full meal. Their physical strength was a little overwhelmed, and each other's expressions were exhausted.
Qian rushed to the end, tensing his nerves all the time, and naturally it was not easy. He felt that his energy was gradually declining, and he couldn't help but worry, so he shouted at the front of the team: "Officer Lu, stop and rest for a while?" ”
Lu Qingxuan was also tired, and after hearing Qian Chong's shout, he immediately stopped and straightened up. He was also trying to take a break.
Qian Chong and the other teams in front of them all stopped, and immediately told the man in yellow in front of him: "You have to rest face back, and you must pay attention to the dynamics behind." I'll go to the front, and when it's time to leave, I'll come back. ”
The man in yellow didn't know why Qian Chong was so cautious, but he knew that Qian Chong must have his reasons, so he nodded and said, "Xiao Qian, please rest assured, before you come back, I will help you watch the wind and grass behind you without blinking." ”
Qian Chong smiled with relief: "Then you're sorry!" ”
Everyone sat down one after another...
In the process of going to the front, Qian Chong found a team member approaching the jungle while untying his trouser belt, and immediately pulled him: "Hey, I have already explained before, no matter how big or small you are, you can't hide in the jungle, you have to solve it on the spot." We're all men, don't be shy. ”
The man couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, but he also did according to Qian Chong's opinion.
Although Bronn and Chawang in the middle of the team couldn't understand what Qian Chong was talking to the Chinese tourist, they knew how he stopped him from entering the jungle next to him. Both of them have a thief's heart, and it is inevitable that they will be a little weak-hearted.
Qian Chong had already walked to Lu Qingxuan's rest place at this time, he sat down next to Lu Qingxuan, and asked, "Officer Lu, do you think you will find an exit here?" ”
Lu Qingxuan lowered his head and thought: "It's hard to say, although I don't know the geography here. But as far as I can see, if there is an exit here, it must be a cave leading to the outside world. However, it is difficult to say how big the hole is. ”
Qian Chong also pondered for a while, and then guessed: "It is estimated that the entrance to the cave is very small, especially the entrance at the other end. If the cave was large, the owner of the hut would not have the safest hiding place in the place. ”
Lu Qingxuan nodded: "Mr. Qian is reasonable. I guess the other party must have covered the entrance of the cave with rocks. So, I'm especially mindful of situations like this. If you find a moving stone, you always have to move it. ”
"Well, I'm sure Officer Lu won't miss the entrance to the cave..."
When Qian Chong said this, he lowered his voice and said: "Because with your carefulness, even the treasure hidden in the wooden house has not escaped your eyes, let alone this hole." ”
Lu Qingxuan shook his head with a solemn expression: "It's hard to say, after all, the wooden house is small, and it is easy to find clues." And the terrain here is too complicated. It's completely different from how I usually feel when I survey the scene of a crime. You should also remind the people behind you to pay more attention, if you miss the hole, it will not be easy to go back. ”
Qian Chong just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but suddenly found that Bronn and Chawang in the middle of the team walked over together...
He quickly shut his mouth and stared at their approach with wary eyes.
Due to the language barrier between Bronn and Chawang and Qian Chong, they first said to Lu Qingxuan: "Sir, can we make some suggestions?" ”
Lu Qingxuan couldn't help but be stunned, and didn't answer their questions first, but translated to Qian Chong in Chinese: "Mr. Qian, these two guys are verbally giving some suggestions!?" ”
Qian Chong suddenly understood, and then said to Lu Qingxuan: "The two of them feel that they are caught in the middle of us, and they feel controlled, and they may want to suggest that our team disperse and search." In this way, they will have a chance to escape. ”
Lu Qingxuan was stunned and said, "Could this be the case?" ”
Qian Chong smiled indifferently: "You can ask them what suggestions you have." ”
Lu Yuxuan then turned around and asked, "Mr. Qian asked you if you have any good ideas?" ”
Chawang hurriedly said: "There are so many of us who are searching in groups, and the benefits are too low. If you search in groups, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Could you please consider our suggestion? ”
When Lu Qingxuan heard that the two of them were really Qian Chong's prediction, he couldn't help but admire Qian Chong even more.
When Qian Chong listened to Lu Qingxuan's translation, he said to Lu Qingxuan: "Please Officer Lu tell them." The reason why we are searching in groups is to not give any chance to the hidden enemies around us. If you want to disperse the team, you may be eaten by people one by one. We took this approach, although the process was relatively slow, but because the valley was not very large. And the direction is certainly not where we came. After another two or three days, we will be able to search all the places where the entrance to the cave may be hidden. Please don't worry, we currently have three days of rations for everyone! ”
After listening to Qian Chong's speech, Lu Qingxuan nodded lightly and translated the meaning of Qian Chong's words to the two of them...
Seeing that his suggestion had been rejected, Chawang couldn't help but glance at Bron. They silently retreated to their original positions.
Qian Chong waited for the two of them to retreat, and couldn't help frowning: "It seems that these two guys are a little dishonest?" We have to be on guard. ”
Lu Qingxuan hurriedly shook his head: "No, please tell your people, don't monitor them too closely, in case you want to startle the snake, it will be bad." It's easy for them to get out of our sight. As soon as we run into the jungle, it will be difficult for us to control them. Moreover, if they escape from my sight, they may be poisoned by the two robbers. At the moment, they are important to our Government. They must not be allowed any surprises. ”
Qian Chong nodded: "What you said can make me understand." At the moment, our worst enemy is the owner of the wooden house. I'm about to break my nerves in order to deal with them, and I really don't have much energy to 'take care of' them. ”
Sawyer and Jim have been following the 'mysterious' team closely, and when the other party is resting, they don't let go, and they always try to seize the opportunity to eliminate the other. However, they found that the search team was so cautious that their attention was more focused on searching for the exit than on guarding the surrounding environment. There was nothing they could do.
Jim was a little tired and couldn't help but be frustrated: "What is the origin of these people?" They seem to know we're following them? ”
Sawa also frowned and said, "How can it be more than that? They seem to realize that we are going to attack them, and they are so well guarded. It looks like we've come up with a very cunning opponent. ”
Jim asked, "So what are we going to do?" They wouldn't guess who we were, would they? ”
Sawyer gritted his teeth: "We continue to entangle them. For cunning opponents, we need to be patient. Until they are brought down, no one of them must be allowed to leave here alive! ”
In this way, they followed the team again...
After searching for about two or three miles, Sawyer and Jim's hearts finally let go after the search party passed through a place that made them nervous.
Sawyer said with a disdainful look on his face at this time, "It seems that we overestimated them. Although they anticipated things, they were not gods after all. If they want to find an exit, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky. ”
Jim also breathed a sigh of relief: "You're right. Follow the way they searched until they were trapped here, and they didn't want to find the secret hole. We can talk to them on the ground. ”
Besides, Qian Chong, who was walking at the back of the line, felt that the foot of the mountain on this side was already halfway through, but he still found nothing. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and even a little ominous. His ears were always on the lookout for movement behind him, and as they passed through the dense jungle, he always felt a rattling sound not far from him.
His heart moved, and he secretly thought about countermeasures.
When he reached another jungle thick, he suddenly stopped, and lowered his head as if it was 'convenient' to untie his pants...
Sawyer and Jim, who had been following him and were looking for an opportunity, felt that the last person was finally left alone, and felt that the opportunity had come. Sawyer immediately gave Jim a look. Jim immediately pulled out his dagger and quietly approached behind Qian Chong...
Although Qian Chong turned his back to them and even lowered his head, his eyes kept wandering, using his sixth sense to judge the approaching danger...
Just as Jim was holding the dagger aloft and was only a stone's throw away from him, Qian Chong heard the rustling of leaves in the jungle behind him, suddenly moved forward, and quickly turned around.
Jim was about to succeed when he was startled by the sudden movement of his target's body. Just as he was stunned, Qian Chong had already turned his face.
As soon as he saw Qian Chong turn around, he subconsciously flashed his body into the dense jungle on the side.
However, no matter how fast his body is, it can't be faster than Qian Chong's lightning-like gaze. Before he hid his body in the jungle, he was already exposed to Qian Chong.
Qian Chong saw that a figure suddenly flashed into the jungle a few meters away from him, and immediately waved the wooden stick in his hand.
Jim knew that Qian Chong had found out, so he hurriedly used the cover of the jungle to escape to Sawyer...
Qian Chong saw a man with a full beard, even longer than the beard of the hairy bearded man in their team, and guessed that the other party was the owner of the wooden house. The purpose of his sudden approach to him just now is also the lice on the bald head~ obviously.
Qian Chong wanted to chase after him, but realized that the other party had a gun, and he had fallen some distance from the search team. He was worried that he would make the other party jump over the wall in a hurry, so he quickly dispelled the idea of chasing after him. And pull away and run back...
Jim waited for a few steps before passing through Sawyer's hideout. He only turned around at this time, and when he found that the other party's people had not caught up, he was relieved.
"Sawyer, that 'skinny monkey' just now seems to have discovered me... What can I do? ”
Sawyer saw Jim's frightened and nervous appearance, and couldn't help but scold, "You're so stupid! Why are you so scared that you run back? ”
"But that guy has noticed it and turned around..."
"Phew! Do you dare to do it behind your back and coax it in front of you? It's good now, we're stealing chickens and rice. We have been thoroughly exposed! ”
Jim also looked frustrated, and couldn't help but be angry: "That 'skinny monkey' is so cunning. The move just now seems to lure us into the bait. ”
Sawyer looked back at the scene just now, and couldn't help but narrowly say, "There is such a possibility. Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted so quickly. ”
"What now? Do you want to keep up? ”
Sawyer shook his head: "Since they have already discovered us, it will be very disadvantageous for us to follow us any longer!" ”
Jim suddenly squatted on the ground and said a little tiredly, "It's okay not to follow them, anyway, I can conclude that they can't find the exit." Still worried about them running away? We've been busy for most of the day, and it's time to go back to eating. ”
Sawyer thought for a while, then suddenly reached out and tugged at Jim's collar: "You get up for me." Let's go! ”
Jim was stunned: "Where are we going?" ”
Sawyer replied word by word: "Go back to our house!" ”
"What are you going to do there?"
Sawyer explained, "I feel that the other party is not good, so before they return to our cabin, let's go over and take action against the people there!" ”
Jim was stunned: "But... But there are a lot of people there... Can we win? ”
Sawyer's eyes were gloomy and he said, "There are many women there, and the precautions will not be stricter than those who come out." I have a hunch that there will be a chance! ”
Jim nodded, "I also feel that the people in the cabin are easier to deal with." The point is, our jewellery is still there. If we don't get the jewelry into our hands, this night will make us lose sleep. ”
Sawyer couldn't help but glance at him, and then urged: "Don't be long-winded, let's hurry up!" ”
