Chapter 332, the search in the Bright Moon Gorge
There was a convoy on the rugged mountain road, and the team was sparsely packed, with only a few cars in front of it following closely.
Li Xiong led the way at the front, Ding Xiu followed closely behind, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw the other vehicles behind him in the rearview mirror.
The hunting teams organized by ordinary villagers have little combat effectiveness, and even if the team has retired soldiers as the core, it is useless, and the team that has been detached from formal training is like this, and the gap between them and professional soldiers is very large.
Mingyue Gorge is in the east of Maping Town, about 20 kilometers away from the town, because of the mountainous roads on the way, the convoy spent some time on the road.
When Ding Xiu and the others arrived at Mingyue Gorge, it was already close to three o'clock in the afternoon, and only the whistling west wind greeted them in the empty valley.
Li Xiong parked his car at the mouth of the valley, because there were no roads suitable for vehicles in the valley.
The valley was said to have been a riverbed in the past, but when the river dried up, the bottom of the river was exposed to form the valley's topography. It is said that mussel shells and pebbles were seen here in the earliest days, but now only a barren weed remains in the valley.
"It's [funny] to get off." Li Xiong waved at the rest of the team.
Ding Xiu got out of the car and looked around the valley.
"Didn't you say that the flying foxes would run out during the day now, why didn't I even see a ghost." Someone in the team complained.
"Who knows." Li Xiong touched the short stubble on the top of his head, and also looked around suspiciously.
Ding Xiu asked him, "Brother Xiong, do you want to go in and search?" ”
"Well, it's all here, if you don't go in and search, it's not good to go back empty-handed, and if you bring back the corpse of a flying fox, you can find Mayor Bai and Secretary Jiang to receive a reward of 100 bries." For the sake of money, Li Xiong naturally didn't want to return empty-handed, so he told everyone: "Mingyue Gorge is very big, our soldiers are divided into two roads to ensure the small road, the first team follows me, the second team follows Ding Xiu's brother, everyone is not scattered, and the people of a small team try to act together." ”
"You take this." Li Xiong said and handed something to Ding Xiu, "Keep in touch." ”
What he gave Ding Xiu was an old walkie-talkie, which only a few people who had been soldiers had, and he specially asked for one to come over and share the profits for the second team.
"Okay, you guys pay more attention to safety." Ding Xiu nodded. Based on the topography of the canyon and the speed of the wind, he judged that the area inside the valley was quite large, and if the troops were not divided, the efficiency of the search would be greatly reduced, so he also agreed with Li Xiong's arrangement.
The two teams split up at the mouth of the valley, Li Xiong went to the north of the valley, and Ding Xiu led the team to the northeast to search.
Stepping on the weeds on the ground, the soles of his shoes made some fine crumb sounds, the wind blew everyone's clothes up, and a small head suddenly popped out of the pocket of Ding Xiu's waist.
It was Qiuqiu, because it was not convenient to leave it at Li Xiong's house, so when he was leaving, Ding Xiu took it with him.
The ball poked its head out and looked around, and Ding Xiu blocked it with one hand to half-cover it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble when others saw it.
The little guy glanced out a few times and finally retracted his head, and Ding Xiu patted his purse gently, signaling it to be restless.
The rock walls on both sides of the canyon were dotted with a hint of emerald, and Dantecius and his team searched for a while, but found nothing alive.
"Something is wrong." The feeling was like the calm before a storm, and Ding Xiu's instincts began to warn him.
took out the multi-functional combat power detector sent by Chen Jianing from his bag, Ding Xiu put it on his ear, and turned on the bioelectric wave warning function.
The device began to detect biological radio waves with danger signals within a radius of two hundred meters around, and after a while, Ding Xiu felt a slight vibration of the multi-functional combat power detector on his ear, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Mutant flying foxes, F-class mutant creatures, they live in groups, be careful, Ding Xiu."
Chen Jianing's voice made Ding Xiu's heart warm, and the last time he heard this voice was more than half a year ago. In the past half a year, Ding Xiu has thought about her countless times, but the countless thoughts turned into cold sadness in the end.
Ding Xiu had planned to go back, but when he calmed down and thought about it, what could he do when he went back besides bringing danger to his partners?
And all the way to thousands of miles, every time Ding Xiu showed a little trace, there was always danger everywhere, he didn't know if this was Qin Yilan or Gu Zhun's arrangement, in short, it was no accident. Until he was in Liangxi Town, police officer Su Yuan couldn't find his information in the police station's network system, which made Ding Xiu even more convinced of his guess.
Retracting his thoughts, Ding Xiu first warned his companions: "The mutant flying fox has been found nearby, it is an F-class mutant creature, it likes to eat fruits and animal flesh, and it is used to coming out day and night, everyone should be careful." ”
F-class mutant creatures are roughly at the level of Steppenwolf, and individual individuals alone pose no threat to Ding Xiu, but others are different. Ding Xiu checked their combat power through the multi-functional combat power detector, and among the other seven members of the team, the highest combat power was only 18.
The combat power of 18 is undoubtedly the best among ordinary people, but it is not enough to look at the mutated creatures, and of course, Ding Xiu did not expect them to help him.
Now that the target has been discovered, Ding Xiu has to look for it next, and he locks his eyes on the cliff of the canyon dozens of meters high, searching for the hole hidden in the verdant bushes.
According to the information provided by the multi-functional combat power detector, the flying fox here has a habit of being diurnal and nocturnal, which is somewhat different from what Ding Xiu learned in Maping Town.
He remembered that Li Xiong had said that the mayor's men had encountered flying foxes during the day and had been attacked.
With this question, Ding Xiu gradually approached the cliffs on both sides, and he stretched out his hand to grasp the stone pillars above, wanting to climb up.
"What are you going to do?" Someone asked.
"It's possible that the flying fox is hiding in the hole and doesn't come out during the day, so I'll go up and look for the hole." Ding Xiu told his plans and told his companions, "You stay vigilant and wait for me below." ”
He had just climbed halfway up the slope when the walkie-talkie he was carrying with him suddenly came out.
"Flying fox! Flying foxes are here! Be careful, everyone! ”
It was Li Xiong's voice, and it sounded a little flustered.
Ding Xiu jumped off the stone wall and hurriedly beckoned his companions to rush to the north to support.
"Brother Xiong! Mom, there are a lot of flying foxes, run for your life! "The voices over the intercom became noisy, with gunshots and panicked shouts.
It sounded like Li Xiong's situation was not good, Ding Xiu was very anxious, and his steps under his feet couldn't help but be a little faster, leaving the others far behind.
After a few moments, the cacophony of the intercom suddenly disappeared, replaced by a muffled "whirring" sound that resembled an animal munching on its food.
