Chapter 0251: Cunning Fox
After searching a hundred and ten meters horizontally, Xue Lang raised his hand and looked at No. 2, waiting for him to finish the search.
After getting the gesture that No. 2 had no trace, he looked around, pointed to the red pine not far away, put away 4A1, took out the flying claws from the backpack and hung them on the side of the backpack, and then jumped up, holding the thick trunk of the red pine between his arms, and swam up like a gecko.
No. 2 and No. 3 made the same action, quickly put away the spear, took out the flying claws and hung them outside the backpack, and followed Xue Lang to the same tree one after another.
Climbing more than thirty meters through the empty branches, Xue Lang got into the canopy, and then, along the thick branches stretching out from the opposite side, he crossed in the air, and arrived at another tree in just a few seconds.
No. 2 and No. 3 have learned the same, although they have not experienced this kind of tree that people who are accustomed to picking pine towers, avoid climbing dozens of meters of shallow trunks, and do not even have branches.
The three of them were thirty or forty meters above the ground, constantly changing trees one by one, just like walking in the air, really walking on trees.
After continuously spanning two or three hundred meters, Xue Lang got the report that No. 2 still did not see a figure in the direction from which he came, and then ran up to the treetops alone, carefully observed the surrounding landforms, and after retreating, he crossed five trees in one direction, that is, after fifty or sixty meters out, he took off his flying claws and grabbed a horizontal branch with the thickness of his arm a few meters away in front of him, and told the two team members with a gesture, and then the person jumped down, and at the moment when the rope was about to end, the cloak was raised with the wind and hunted, like a big bird "flying" in the snowflakes out.
At the moment when the rope of the flying claw was about to end, he shook his hand and let go of the claw at that end, and with the inertia of wandering, the parabola fell to a flat position more than thirty meters away from the big tree, with no shrubs and no rocks.
Poof, the person smashed into the snow of forty or fifty centimeters, and followed the falling head canopy to cover Xue Lang tightly.
No. 2 and No. 3 did the same, picked their respective positions, learned Xue Lang to fly down, and at the moment when they were exhausted, they landed accurately in the open space where they were going to lurk.
Not to mention the thick snow in the location they chose, there were no weeds and shrubs, the view was wide, and if there were no footprints from a distance, they would never suspect that there would be people lurking there.
After the three of them landed, they retracted their claws, No. 2 and No. 3 took off 4A1, and Xue Lang took off the high-precision sniper, sorted out the cloak, and covered himself completely, and the three of them looked at the different directions of the fan.
The snow was still falling, and in less than ten minutes, the scarred snow surface they had smashed when they landed was covered by the snow, and there was no trace to follow.
The mountains and forests were quiet at this moment. Xue Lang and the three of them all entered a hidden aura. Although No. 2 and No. 3 have not fully learned this skill of astringent breathing, their breathing slows down, and they are still able to do it when they are close to a dormant state.
Xue Lang is even more integrated with the snow, except for thermal imaging, no one will see him under the snow.
The three of them were very patient, just lying quietly in the snow, waiting for the prey to appear.
Xue Lang's judgment was right, the other party did not suddenly turn, but really at the moment when they ran, due to the hidden aura of No. 2 and No. 3, they could not learn home, and there was a murderous aura leaking, and the person who was a few hundred meters away felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
At the moment when Xue Lang and the three of them were running wildly, he took out the flying claws that were exactly the same as those used by Xue Lang, grabbed the branches of a big tree, quickly climbed up, ran out of the tree one hundred and ten meters horizontally, went back, followed, fell into the snow, and like Xue Lang and them, buried himself under the snow with a white cloak, set up a high-precision sniper, only exposed infrared night vision devices, and stared at the direction where the footprints came.
Time, in this moment, stands still completely.
Buried in the snow on both sides, enduring the coolness of the gradual passage of inactive body temperature, and the impending cold.
They are all waiting, waiting for the situation in the judgment to arise.
Xue Lang had enough patience. This place is far away from the village and town, and the man will definitely not run to the village and town, no matter how cunning he is, he will not go around in such a big circle, and Lang will spend several hours.
He judged that this place should not be too far from the other party's destination, and the other party's sense of smell would be very sensitive and cautious, just like a fox or a snow rabbit would circle the nest a few times before returning to the nest, and only enter it when it was confirmed that there was no danger and the nest was safe.
This is the experience of a mature hunter for the sake of a good fox skin, stalking the fox until it returns to the nest, plugs the hole, goes down to the net, then smokes it out, and after falling into the net, holds it down with his coat, and kills the fox by choking the heart of the armpit of the forelimb with his hand.
Such fox fur is valuable because it does not struggle to cause its hair to break, and it is not injured and has holes.
This man, indeed cunning like a fox, after landing, lay there quietly, staring at the direction from which the footprints came, and in the continuous falling snowflakes, gradually, the traces of his landing disappeared.
As long as someone follows people's footprints, even if they give up a few tens of meters, he can see it.
As long as he finds that no matter how many people come from the other party, he has the confidence to leave all the people.
A high-precision sniper with a silencer is not a joke to leave everyone within two or three hundred meters, unless there are too many people on the other side.
But he thinks that if there is really a pursuit, it will definitely not be a large army, it will definitely be an elite.
This is a method used by various countries, and even if an ordinary soldier drags a wide net to search the mountains, it may not be able to put pressure on the elite, especially the elite of the elite like him.
Time passed slowly in the squatting, and the cold gradually hit after the body temperature dropped to a minimum. But neither side moved, and this is patience.
Xue Lang briefly inquired about the two of them how they felt about their bodies, knowing that there was no tendency to freeze, and knowing that the two of them could still hold on, so they continued to stare ahead, waiting for the prey to appear.
The man was the same under the snow, quietly, enduring the feeling of getting colder and colder, quietly staring in the direction he had come.
He wouldn't think the uneasiness just now was suspicious, because of the perception of danger cultivated by years of blood and rain, he had saved him more than once, otherwise, he would have died a long time ago.
But as the mind calmed down, the uneasiness did not arise again. It was a bit of a scratch for him.
And it's about to dawn, even if it's late and it's snowing, at six o'clock, it will be bright.
After two hours of squatting, he slowly stood up and arched out of the snow.
But that's it, he was still not at ease, and he moved, touching the already very vague traces.
Ten minutes later, he came to the almost unrecognizable footprints that had been covered by the falling snow, and then crossed sideways, walked out of two or three hundred meters, and confirmed that there were indeed no footprints on the snow, then he took out a black thing and stuffed it into his mouth, put away the high-precision sniper, and returned to the previous direction with the assault rifle diagonally, and continued to move forward in the woods without choosing to rest.
On Xue Lang's side, if it weren't for Xue Lang in charge, the two team members would have run out of patience.
They even suspected that the other party had discovered their tracking, which would have turned to escape, and after waiting here for more than two hours, they had lost the opportunity to pursue.
In fact, both sides are in the dark, even if the person being followed only knows the direction of travel before seeing the figure, but the other party can disguise himself at any time and set up an ambush. More likely, the other party has already arrived at their destination and will be resting.
Running wildly in the mountains and forests for more than ten minutes, it is also a few kilometers out, even if the road is not easy to walk.
But neither the captain nor the instructor moved, and of course they endured the cold erosion and stared in their respective directions.
At this time, their respirators were already full of frost flowers, and their breathing was gradually becoming difficult, but the two of them did not dare to move, because as soon as the snow above their heads moved, there would be traces.
Seeing that it was less than half an hour before dawn, and the sky was completely dark, which belonged to the moment of pre-dawn darkness, Two, suddenly, saw a blurry image in the distance.
"An upright target was found at nine o'clock, at a distance of three hundred meters, and the possibility of animals was ruled out."
Xue Lang and No. 3 are infrared, which is inherently ineffective in this pitch-black environment, and with the snowfall, it is not much stronger than visually. Hearing that No. 2 had found the target, they all tightened their hearts and tried to move their heads carefully and look in that direction.
Xue Lang would be completely relieved.
It is also a gamble, judged empirically, but without absolute basis.
If the other party really turns, they will lose the opportunity to pursue, and they can only return in vain. But the other party continued to move forward, there were only two possibilities, first, it was to rest for two hours and make a fire to ward off the cold; Second, they sensed danger and set up an ambush to attack the stalker.
If it's the latter, then this person is terrible, definitely the best of the best.
Thinking of this, he hadn't seen the other party's figure yet, so he whispered in the headset: "No. 2 and No. 3, restrain your breath, take your eyes off the sniper scope, and don't try to aim." ”
"Yes!"
No. 2 and No. 3 responded in a whisper, constricting their aura to the extreme, merging with the snow.
And No. 2, constantly reporting the distance of the other party, the voice is of course so small that it is just a whisper.
At this time, the man seemed to be very relaxed, chewing something in his mouth, and came straight towards Xue Lang and them.
At this time, the traces left by Xue Lang and them before have completely disappeared, even if the snow on the trees is shaken, there is no trace.
It's not just that the sky is still snowing, but the snow on the canopy is getting thicker and thicker, although there is no wind, but it is not always able to bear, it has long begun to fall in large groups, and there are snow pits smashed everywhere, and it is impossible to say which tree has been touched by an external force, and the snow has fallen.
The man was getting closer and closer to Xue Lang and the three of them in the snow, but Xue Lang still couldn't see each other, and he relied on No. 2 to keep reporting the distance.
Thermal imaging is so troublesome, it is not a telescope, nor is it a night vision device, the picture is clear, far and near, it is blurry, but it can construct an image formed by the heat emitted by the body, and the difference between the strength of the heat, but the face can not be seen clearly.
But it is enough to be able to see the figure, and knowing the distance is already in hand. This will, if Number Two wants to kill the opponent, he will not need a sniper rifle, and the 4A1 will be enough to kill him from a distance of 100 meters without aiming too much.
The man walked very steadily, here, it was already in the mountains, there would be no crouching sentry here, he held a gun, chewing the salmon fish blank stolen from the polar bear town, although it was a little fishy, but it was still quite helpful for the supplement body.
But the vigilance is still there, and people like him will definitely not take their surroundings lightly.
However, he didn't know that this would happen, the three pairs of eyes had locked on him, and he had already taken off the night vision device, because it didn't have much effect. But even if you bring it, the low-light infrared night vision device can't see the snow.
Xue Lang's breathing was almost stagnant, and after the last report on the second day, the distance between the other party was only fifty meters, and the distance between twenty and thirty meters on their left flank would pass, Xue Lang ordered to stop talking and hide himself completely.
And he, having seen each other.
The other party is also dressed in white, the same high-precision sniper, the same cloak, and the same snow-white bag, the only difference is that it is not M4A1, but M16.
As the other party continued to get closer, entering a distance of fifty meters, Xue Lang had already seen the other party very clearly.
Looking at the other party's vigilant figure, suddenly, his breathing stagnated, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
