Chapter 454: Return
Slightly different from the plan, Cheng Lin and the three finally walked down the mountain, and did not continue to move further west, when they were stopped by a military vehicle coming from National Highway 314 at the foot of the mountain.
It was already dark.
The huge aura formed by the brilliant headlights of the military vehicle firmly enclosed the three people inside, reminding Cheng Lin of the exaggerated scene of chasing fugitives in the animation.
Getting out of the car were several fighters in border guard uniforms, surrounding the three suspicious-looking guys.
He Shu wanted to prove his identity but remembered that the documents were gone, but fortunately, Cheng Lin's documents were still stuffed in the pockets of his clothes, and the next thing was much smoother, and the three of them were taken to a nearby barracks station, and then He Shu borrowed the phone to communicate with the local governor, and naturally contacted the team of the first division on the other side of the snow mountain.
……
"Ahem."
The barracks were a little cold late at night, and because of the remoteness of the place, there was no way to get heating, but an old-fashioned coal-burning iron stove was placed in the room.
The aluminium cylinder connected to the previous section leads the smoke from the stove to the outside of the house, and the stove trays are well put together layer by layer, and a hook made of steel is hung next to it.
It was not yet winter, so the stove was naturally cold, and the short-haired girl woke up halfway down the mountain, but until now, her head hurt a little and she coughed.
I don't know if it's a cold...... Although it stands to reason that there are very few practitioners who catch a cold......
"Let's take a sip of water."
Cheng Lin saw her cough and handed over a bottle of water with his handcuffed hands, and after hearing Wu Shushan say thank you, he suddenly pricked up his ears and looked out of the house.
There was a sound of footsteps, and then the warrior led several men and women in, led by a young woman of twenty-seven or eighteen, who was Liang Jing.
"Thank you."
After thanking the warrior, Liang Jing looked at the three people in the room, his eyes paused on Cheng Lin and Wu Shushan, and then looked at He Shu.
"Sister Liang! You're coming. ”
He Shu immediately stood up when he saw the comer, his face was happy, because the movement was too big and involved the wound, so his smile turned into a grinning pain.
"Are you hurt? What about the injury? ”
Liang Jing hurriedly said.
"It's okay, skin trauma, just go back and recuperate for a while."
He Shu sat down, explained, and then said vividly, "I said that you will definitely come." ”
Yes, it did, but it was noticeably late...... Cheng Lin thought in his heart.
"This is Sister Liang of our division...... This is the ...... of the Ninth Division and the Seventh Division"
Under He Shu's introduction, Cheng Lin learned the name of this young woman and learned that she was the leader of this small team.
The incident had been briefly explained on the phone before, so Liang Jing did not ask too much about the identities of the two, but first took out a set of tools to help the three people untie the forbidden demon handcuffs, and then began to ask about the incident on the top of the mountain.
"What about it...... I still don't know, it was the spy who wanted to kill the three of us, and was about to do it, and then we suddenly fainted, and I now suspect that it was under the influence of some kind of psychic ability, and when I woke up again, I found that the group of people were dead, as for who did it, I didn't see it at all. ”
He Shu said with a solemn face.
"Who woke up first?" Liang Jing asked.
"It's me, maybe my cultivation is relatively high, so I woke up first, and then woke the two of them up."
He Shu pointed to himself, "I felt very uneasy at the time, so I took them out of there. ”
Liang Jing nodded, she held a small book in her hand, recorded this information with a pen, as if she was recording a confession, and after interrogating what to say, she asked Cheng Lin and Wu Shushan again, and got the same answer.
"It seems that the murderer deliberately knocked you out before he made a move, so as to hide your identity."
Liang Jing sighed, but suddenly a smile appeared, "But he would never know that there were witnesses who captured a little bit of information about him at that time." ”
Witness?
He Shu and Wu Shushan were surprised, but Cheng Lin's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly adjusted his expression, pretending to be simply surprised, but there were waves in his heart.
There were even witnesses?
This was something he hadn't thought of at all, he had clearly observed the surroundings when he was fighting, and there could be no one else.
Besides, if someone really saw his identity, then Liang Jing would not have this attitude at the moment, but should control himself first.
"Yes, there was a mountaineer who happened to film the scene at that time, but it was just ...... Because of the distance and angle, I didn't see the details. ”
As he spoke, Liang Jing took out his mobile phone and played the short video to them.
He Shu and Wu Shushan were shocked when they saw the tall human shadow standing on the top of the mountains, Cheng Lin was relieved while hiding his expression, the video only captured the first half of the combined battle spirit, and he himself, not even Bennett and the others had not recorded it.
"Scared me...... It turned out to be just this sighting...... In that case, it shouldn't be a big problem, after all, I've never exposed the combined battle spirit......"
Cheng Lin's emotions gradually eased, but in the next second, he suddenly remembered a name: Han Lun!
He recalled that in the elven projection, when he was chasing and killing the president of the Black Side, he had been witnessed by Han Lun in the appearance of the combined battle spirit!
"Going to be ...... When he sees this video, Han Lun will inevitably report this matter......"
His heart trembled, but then calmed down again, "But...... It doesn't seem to be a big problem, Han Lun witnessed the combined battle spirit, but he didn't see me, at most he thought of the 'black robe' through that incident, in his memory, it should be the means of the 'black robe'. ”
And according to reason, the black robe should have disappeared a long time ago, and Cheng Lin didn't know what kind of speculation this matter would cause from the Ministry of Special Affairs, but logically, it couldn't involve him anyway, which made him relax again.
After making a record, He Shu left directly with Liang Jing and others, while Cheng Lin and Wu Shushan were arranged to be sent to Kushi by special car.
"At present, the projection has disappeared not long ago, and all major departments and bureaus are dealing with the follow-up work, and if you go back now, you can still catch up with the evacuation of the large army."
Liang Jing sent the two to the car and said.
"Thank you." Cheng Lin pretended to be the survivor of the robbery, and pulled Wu Shushan into the car, and just as he was about to close the car door, Captain Liang suddenly smiled at the two of them and said, "This incident has affected you, I'm sorry, but with your cultivation, maybe you will become our colleagues in a few months, and we will meet again then." ”
Cheng Lin and Wu Shushan glanced at each other, and they both understood that she was referring to where she would go after graduation, and before the two could reply, the car door was slammed shut, and then the car drove northeast along the road.
……
Wu Shushan's Seventh Division explored the No. 1 projection, and the gathering place was not in the reservoir city, so he got off the bus relatively early, and Cheng Lin sent him off with a smile.
Although this experience is still short, the two have become much closer, if it was just a "group member" relationship before, now they have become friends.
"You left too fast last time, next time you come to Chang'an, I ask you to take a good turn."
The short-haired girl jumped out of the car and said to him.
Cheng Lin responded with a smile: "Definitely." ”
After saying goodbye to Wu Shushan, it took some time, and at dawn, he finally returned to the reservoir city.
"Okay, let's go right here, it doesn't seem to be easy to turn around inside, I'll go by myself."
Let the driver stop outside, Cheng Lin walked alone towards the Jiusi camp in the reservoir city.
At this time, the sky was just bright, and a round of white morning sun appeared in the eastern sky, Cheng Lin breathed in the refreshing air, and walked closer and closer with a little apprehension.
As soon as he turned the corner of the road and saw the gate of the gathering place, he was surprised to see a small figure crouching alone under a tree, hugging his knees, as if asleep.
Walking over slowly, the dusty black dress, the "dragon horn" headband, the figure shrunk into a ball and squatted next to the tree roots, it looked like a small lump, it was easy to ignore, Cao Wei's head was resting on her knees, wrapped her arms around her, and her brows were furrowed in her sleep.
Probably sensing that someone was approaching, the little girl suddenly sighed, raised her head, stretched out her bloodshot eyes, and forward, and in the thin morning light, she saw only a figure with a familiar outline appear in front of her.
"You ......"
The dazed Cao Wei was about to rub her eyes, when she suddenly saw the "figure" squatting down, stretched out her hands, grabbed her cheeks, pulled them, and rubbed them again, and then a gentle voice sounded: "Why are you asleep here?" Did you eat breakfast? ”
"Nope." Cao Wei replied in a daze.
Cheng Lin let go of his hand, grabbed the little girl's arm, and said with a chuckle: "Let's go, let's eat." ”
