Although the three gangsters did not escape for too long, it was not easy to track down the whereabouts of those people in the vast primeval forest.

After all, they had limited manpower and no police dogs to assist in the search. Until reinforcements arrived, they had to try their luck in the nearby woods.

From more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon to more than 7 o'clock in the evening, several squads did not find the whereabouts of the gangsters. Seeing that it was getting dark, they could no longer venture ahead lest they get lost or run into danger.

Xia Shi had long expected that things would not go so smoothly, and he was not particularly disappointed when he returned in vain. He and the other two team members walked in the same direction as they walked back and forth, chatting with each other. Suddenly, a young special police officer named Xiaoshun called out in surprise and said, "Eh, have you two noticed that we have been through this place several times just now?" ”

"Is there one?" The young man named Ah Kin looked around and said disapprehantly, "Many places in this forest look similar, as long as our general direction is correct, it will be fine." ”

"No, it's not." As soon as Ah Jian's words fell, Xia Shi also frowned suspiciously, "Actually, I also think this place is a bit strange, we seem to have really been here just now." ”

"Hey, don't scare me, okay?" Ah Jian clenched the sniper rifle in his hand and looked around vigilantly, as if there were some demons and monsters lurking in the depths of the forest. Don't look at the other person's tall horse, he can deal with four or five hooligans at the same time with his bare hands, but his courage is disproportionate to his size and skill.

Xiaoshun explained: "Don't be nervous, we should have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, this phenomenon is quite common in the wild." Let's go around again, and if we're still going around this place, we'll think of another way. ”

Xia Shi picked up a few dead branches and placed a very conspicuous mark on the ground. "Let's use this as a reference, if we can still see it in a while, it proves that we are indeed going in circles in the same place."

The three of them got back on the road, and it was still Xiaoshun who led the way in front. This time, none of them spoke, focusing all their energy on their surroundings. Ten minutes later, when they saw the mark on the ground again, the hearts of the three people "chuckled" at the same time, and they had to accept the reality that they had been lost in the forest.

"What can I do now?" Ah Jian asked Xia Shi with a sad face, "We won't be trapped here forever, will we?" ”

"Of course not." Although Xia Shi had never experienced such a thing personally, when he went to Liangshan with Zhong Xin to find the coordinates before, he had learned something about the phenomenon of "ghosts hitting the wall".

In fact, the so-called "ghost hitting the wall" is a hazy state of human consciousness. When people get lost at night or in the wild, the correction function of the human eye and brain can be wrong. People feel that they are walking in a straight line, but in fact they are moving in a circle according to the essence of biological motion, and what comes out is of course a circle.

If you want to break this phenomenon, the first thing is to calm down, stop, and don't walk blindly; The second is to concentrate everything.

The primeval forest they are in is different from ordinary places, and it is easy to get lost even in broad daylight, not to mention that now that it is dark, there is nothing to be nervous about going around in a few circles.

Xia Shi explained the principle of "ghosts hitting the wall" to Ah Jian, comforting him not to think crankily, and not to deliberately associate those terrifying scenes in supernatural novels. Ah Jian smiled bitterly and nodded, but the expression on his face was even uglier than crying.

"Rustling ......"

There was a rustling sound in the woods not far away, as if some huge creature was shuttling between them. The three men who had just calmed down tensed their nerves again, and at the same time pricked up their ears and raised their guns in the direction from which the sound came.

"I said warhead, have we been to this place during the day? Why did you unconsciously come back around? A rough-voiced man grumbled irritably.

"Damn, it's not all that dead traitor." The other man gritted his teeth and said, "If he hadn't chased and killed us all, would we have been lost?" Let me touch him again, and I'll kill him. ”

"That guy is not a man, he is a devil. Crooked Mouth has been killed by him, and I don't want to him anymore. ”

"He has ruined everything for us, and caused us to fall into such a field, and this revenge will not be avenged!"

"Forget it, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let's find a safe place to settle down first......"

This mindless conversation made them feel confused by Xia Shi. Who is the other party? Is it the gangster they are going after to hunt? If Heaven gives them this rare opportunity, they must not miss it.

Xiao Shun gestured, and the three of them held their guns and moved slowly and carefully in the direction where the sound came from. The forest at night is surprisingly quiet, and the sound of feet stepping on leaves seems to be countless times more amplified than during the day.

The other party was also vigilant, and immediately stopped talking when he noticed the abnormal noise.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, neither side dared to act rashly, and time seemed to freeze.

"Help!" Suddenly, a little girl's cry for help broke the stagnant silence.

Xiaoshun rushed out with a brisk stride, and Ah Jian followed. In the next few seconds, gunfire and sparks flew in the woods, and Summer could clearly see a little girl curled up under a tree by the flickering light, and that it was Lulu who had been taken from the institute.

The enemy's firepower was so powerful that it was almost impossible to rush over to rescue the girl under the hail of bullets, but Xia Shi clearly saw Ah Jian bravely rush out of the covering bushes and run straight to the girl's position.

"Idiot!" Xiao Shun was so anxious that he scolded, and while covering Ah Jian with firepower, he also wanted to find a chance to kill him. Xia Shi knew that it would definitely not work if it went on like this, their task was to save people, not to send them to death, and impulsiveness was absolutely undesirable. Since the enemy is not too troublesome to take a little girl with him, it means that the girl has a certain use value, and her life will not be in danger for the time being. They can wait patiently for a moment and find a relatively suitable time to carry out the rescue......

Summer Time's mind was still running rapidly, and something that was difficult for him to accept happened at this moment. Ah Jian's head was hit by the opponent's AK-47, and his flesh instantly became a blur of flesh and blood. Faced with the tragic death of his good brother, Xiaoshun's reason collapsed in an instant. Ignoring Xia Shi's resistance, he rushed out of cover with a gun and killed the gangster who killed Ah Jian with two bullets. However, in the blink of an eye, he fell under the gun of another gangster and never woke up.

It happened so suddenly, Xia Shi didn't have time to react, everything was a foregone conclusion. The reality is so cruel, the comrades-in-arms who were laughing together just now are no longer alive in the blink of an eye. Looking at their dead appearance, Xia Shi's heart was like a knife, and at this time he had no choice.

The man lost his companion and was a little disorganized. He didn't know how many people were on the police's side, so he picked up the girl and fled deep into the forest. Xia Shi immediately chased after him, this was his last chance.

From time to time, the man turned around and fired two shots at Xia Shi, Xia Shi wanted to shoot back, but he was afraid of accidentally injuring the girl, so he could only regret it after aiming a few times. After running a distance, the man's physical strength seemed to be a little overwhelmed, he hid behind a leafy tree, panting, and said to Xia Shi in a consultative tone: "Dude, you let me go." If we continue to stalemate like this, we will only lose both. ”

"Don't dream!" Xia Shi said angrily, "I'm a policeman, how could I let you go." ”

"If you don't let me go......," the man sneered, "I'll kill this child in front of you right now." ”

"Uncle Policeman, help!" The girl's scream came again, like a sharp knife into Xia Shi's heart. He didn't want to compromise, he wasn't willing to compromise, but he couldn't joke with a girl's life. "You kidnapped that child to take her hostage?"

"You can understand it that way." The man said triumphantly. Then he yelled at the girl, who trembled and walked out from behind the tree, and the man's muzzle could be seen pointed at the girl's head in the summer.

"What the hell do you want?" Xia Shi asked.

"Throw your weapon here." The man commanded.

Xia Shi hesitated slightly, and the man immediately shouted, "Little brother, if you don't do what I say, I'll smash her head with one shot." ”

"Okay, okay, I listen to you, you must not hurt her." Xia Shi said and threw his gun out, "Can you let her go now?" ”

"Don't take me for a fool." The man looked at Natsu from behind the tree, "You must have other weapons on you." ”

"No, I only had that gun."

"Impossible!" The man was very suspicious, and in order to ensure his safety, he ordered Xia Shi again, "Take off your clothes, turn all your pants pockets up, and roll up your trouser legs." ”

Summer did as he was told, took off his coat, opened his pockets, and slowly rolled up the leg of his left leg. When he put his hand on the ankle of his right foot, there was a pause. The man immediately saw the clue and shouted, "Throw that gun over." If you don't talk about integrity, how can we negotiate with each other? ”

Xia Shi gritted his teeth in anger and reluctantly threw the gun hidden in his ankle. He had never felt so humiliated in his life. He knew in his heart that even if he did what the other party asked, the other party would not necessarily put the girl back, but if he didn't do what he was asked to do, the girl would definitely die.

"I really don't have any weapons, you let the child go, go by yourself." Xia Shi's voice was full of exhaustion and helplessness. All he wanted now was to bring the child back safe and sound, and nothing else could he want.

The man walked out slowly from behind the big tree, holding a gun in one hand and dragging the girl in the other, his eyes fixed on Xia Shi, still in a state of high alert.

He walked to the open space between the two and picked up the two guns that Xia Shi had lost, completely cutting off Xia Shi's back road. "Seriously, I admire the courage of your guys. In order to save a little child, you can't even want your own life. ”

"That's what we do, and it's our job to save people."

"Actually, you can leave this kid alone, in that case, you have a great hope of killing me, and you can go back to the business."

"I'm not doing this to make a difference. Didn't you just find out our hearts before threatening us with our children as hostages? ”

"So you're stupid, knowing you're going to be fooled, but you still hand over your weapon."

"Maybe, but I can't gamble with my child's life......" Xia Shi smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that his life was coming to an end. He looked at the trembling girl with a desolate gaze, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my uncle who didn't take you home......"

"Uncle, don't leave me alone......," the girl burst into tears.

Xia Shi no longer had any weapons in his hands, but he couldn't watch the girl being taken away by the brutal man in front of him. Even if he dies, he should make a last stand, shouldn't he? Anyway, the other side will shoot anyway, and it is better to die in battle than to surrender and wait for death. Thinking like this, Xia Shi's heart calmed down a lot.

The man didn't expect that Xia Shi would have the courage to resist when he died. He raised his gun and opened fire on Natsutoki, a bullet hit Natsutoki's thigh, and Natsushi fell to the ground, blood gushing out, and soon his trouser leg was soaked.

"Don't be reckless, go obediently to bury the two little brothers just now." The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of burnt teeth.

Summer time finally stopped struggling.

He looked at the muzzle of the black hole above his head, and he couldn't help but think of Gu Song's heartless smiling face.

"Don't worry, I'll come back alive."

Damn, I shouldn't have said that. Xia Shi smiled bitterly in his heart.

I'm sorry, I may not be able to go back, but I will have the opportunity to be a partner again in my next life......
