Chapter 47 A fork in the road of life

As the distance from their destination was shortening, Ren Wei and Avril became more and more cautious.

But even so, it didn't take long for the two of them to find a chance to reach the place where Ren Wei had placed his documents without anyone being discovered.

"It's not going to go on like this, we have to take a detour." Avril whispered to Ren Wei, and as soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly silenced and signaled Ren Wei not to speak.

Ren Wei had sensed the force that was about to pass them before Avril gave a warning, so not only did he not make a sound, but he hid his figure better.

Avril noticed Ren Wei's performance and looked at him deeply.

Ren Wei realized this, and immediately looked back at Avril, thinking that she had something to say.

Avril didn't say anything else, and only waited for the troops to pass by before she spoke again: "Where exactly is the document you said is hidden, I'll see if I can go back there by other means." ”

"I put them right on the shore of Lake Biru in the jungle on the right side of the path that leads to the road, and on the left is the boat we used to be in." Ren Wei thought for a while and said.

Avril quickly marked the location of Ren Wei's information in her mind, but her expression was still very solemn.

"We have two options now, the first is to continue to venture forward, if everything goes well, we can get the items you need as soon as possible, but the risk is very high, if we are accidentally discovered by the army, if we are lucky, we may be able to use my CIA status to fool the situation once, if we are unlucky, then we are equivalent to throwing ourselves into the net. The other option is for us to make a big circle to the south side of Lake Biru and then I dive to the other side to retrieve the documents you said, which is very low-risk because we are around the quarantine zone and have the trees along the way, but in doing so, it will take nearly twice as long as we originally planned because we can't drive there. I'm leaning towards the second approach, but it's up to you to decide which way to go. Avril finished all the pros and cons in one go, and then waited for Ren Wei's answer.

Ren Wei didn't take a long time to think about it, he said to Avril: "I have never liked gambling, let alone this kind of gambling that costs my life, although it takes more time, but once I get the documents, I will be absolutely safe in this country for the next period of time, so it is not wise to take risks in the early stage, I would rather spend more time." I'll choose the second method as well. ”

Hearing Ren Wei say this, Avril couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Ren Wei would go home and be anxious, and her head would be dizzy and rush blindly.

"In that case, without further ado, let's go now." After Avril finished speaking, she took the first step and retreated cautiously, followed by Ren Wei.

As they moved away from the quarantine zone, the speed of the two men also increased greatly, and they encountered two helicopters patrolling the air, but they avoided them without danger.

As the sun set in the west, the two finally reached the southern shore of Lake Biru.

Avril looked up into the distance, and vaguely saw several paths on the other side leading to the north.

"Which one is the path you've walked?" Avril asked.

Seeing this scene, Ren Wei was at a loss for a while: at that time, he was in a hurry to escape, and at the same time, his vision on the other side was not so wide, so he didn't notice that there would be more than one path, and now seeing this situation, he couldn't tell at all.

Seeing Ren Wei frowning and silent, Avril Lavril guessed Ren Wei's difficulty after a little pondering.

"Forget it, I'll go straight over, there are not a few in total, I will definitely find it if I spend more time, you are waiting for me here." Avril said, preparing for the launch.

"I'll go with you, I'll be looking for it faster." Ren Wei said.

"You can't go over!" Avril resolutely stopped Ren Wei.

"Why?!" Ren Wei asked sharply. "I need a reason!"

Avril felt the distrust in Ren Wei's tone, and at the same time she was a little gloomy in her heart, she said her thoughts: "This lake is empty, although there is reflection on the surface of the lake, but if you swim directly on the surface of the lake, it is still easy to be found, so it is best to dive over, can you do this?" ”

"Can you?" Ren Wei said sarcastically.

"With the help of tools." Avril said, showing Ren Wei the position of the inside of the upper arm of her clothes. "We have a compartment here for our suits, which were originally used to store small quantities of water or potions without containers, but now I fill them with air, enough for me to breathe six or seven times underwater, barely enough to make it across the lake to the other side."

Ren Wei thought for a while and asked, "What if we go to the upper reaches of the river and cross the bank first?" The water is narrow, so we can both easily get through. ”

Avril shook her head. "The length of time spent on the edge of the quarantine zone is inversely proportional to the level of safety factor, and if we had a way to avoid such a tight lockdown and follow the edge of the quarantine zone, we would have done it a long time ago, and there would be no need to go around this circle."

After hearing this, Ren Wei nodded and said angrily: "OK! OK! Looks like you've planned everything out of nowhere! Do what you think! ”

"You are not trained, even according to my method, it will be difficult for you to cross the ......" Avril suddenly paused when she said this, she suddenly remembered Ren Wei's various performances after mutation, and felt that Ren Wei might not be able to do it, but because of this topic before, Avril didn't want to mention it again, and even if he crossed the lake, Ren Wei, who had not learned hidden skills, was easier to be found and more likely to be dangerous than himself, so Avril stopped talking, neatly filled the air between the clothes mezzanine, and then quietly dived into the lake.

Ren Wei hid in the woods south of Biru Lake, observing the lake.

On the sparkling lake, Avril Lavril could not be seen at all, and Ren Wei had no way of judging where Avril had moved.

Nearly ten minutes passed, but there was still no sign of Avril coming ashore on the other side, and Ren Wei couldn't help but worry.

In a hurry, Ren Wei swept to the opposite shore as if there was a figure, and hurriedly turned his head to look, but the afterimage disappeared in a flash, and the opposite side was still calm as usual, Ren Wei even wondered if it was because of the reflection of the lake, which caused him to be dazzled just now.

Ren Wei, who was unwilling, looked at the opposite side more carefully, but unfortunately found nothing.

Another five minutes passed, and Ren Wei couldn't bear to see that he was about to walk out of the woods and swim to the other side to see what was going on.

At this moment, a group of soldiers appeared on the opposite side, and after coming to the lake, they dispersed, as if searching.

Seeing this, Ren Wei hurriedly retracted his body, and then cautiously poked his head out from behind the tree to peek.

"What are these people looking for? It can't be Avril, right? Ren Weixin said.

The soldiers searched for more than ten minutes, found nothing, and prepared to leave.

But one of the soldiers who searched furthest among them suddenly shouted, "Hey! Come here! There's a discovery here! ”

When everyone heard the sound, they gathered in the direction from which the sound came from.

"What did you find?" The captain of the team asked aloud.

"There's a boat hidden here." The soldier replied.

"Huh?" The captain looked down at the boat that had been torn off by the soldiers, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said loudly to the soldier who found the boat: "It's just a small boat, what is the fuss, maybe it was just abandoned here by its previous owner." Alright, all listen, the whole team is back. ”

The reprimanded soldier was about to say something, but when the captain saw that he was about to speak, he shouted: "Soldier! Execute the command! ”

"Yes!" The soldier stood upright, then trotted home.

After the group of soldiers had disappeared from the direction they had come, fifteen minutes later, a slender figure had snuck up to the position of the boat, and it was Avril who had crossed the lake.

At this time, Avril's face was pale, showing that diving had consumed a lot of her physical strength, and the old injuries in her body had not healed, which made her current state extremely poor.

After crossing the lake, Avril looked for two paths, but she didn't find what Ren Wei needed, and she didn't know when the guards were faintly aware of her movements, which led to the previous scene.

However, because of this, under the mistake of the soldiers, Avril was able to quickly locate and find the place where Ren Wei had hidden the boat and buried the documents before.

Avril evaded search, searching the right side of the path and soon found a piece of land with marks that had recently been turned over.

Avril made a decisive move, dug out a box, opened the box and saw that it was the documents that Ren Wei said, fastened the lid of the box, Avril was about to get up and return, suddenly, there was a soft sound behind her.

Avril was startled and reflexively flashed behind a nearby tree, but as soon as she made a move, a bullet hit her feet with the sound of gunshots.

"I advise you not to think of any tricks, or my next shot will not be aimed at the ground." Some hoarse voices admonished that it was the voice of the captain who had given the order to return to the team. "Now, raise your hands high and turn around slowly."

Avril turned around as she was told, and what appeared in front of her was a man of medium height, stubble, and a rough face. But Avril knew that, judging by the hand-back pistol he played, this man would never be as brainless as he looked.

At this time, the other soldiers who had been lying in ambush in the woods, who had not been too close, came out one after another, and surrounded her with Avril as the center.

The captain of the soldiers, who realized that Avril had become unable to fly, looked at Avril with a calm expression with interest.

"Interesting, I can tell from the bullet marks on the boat that there must be something wrong with the owner of this ship, but you don't look like one of those scum, and I'm a little interested in your identity." The Captain of the Soldier pointed a gun at Avril and teased.

"You have some eyesight." Avril shot back in a condescending tone.

The captain of the soldier was very upset by Avril's tone, his face changed, and he said viciously, "You don't seem to have figured out your current situation. ”

"On the contrary, I know my current situation better than you do." Avril was unrelenting.

"Really?" The Captain of the Soldier slowly aimed his gun at Avril's head. "Then do you know that I can kill you right here?"

"Put away your scaremongering tricks! I know what you're doing here, and I know what your rights are, and technically, I didn't break into the real quarantine zone, and the truth about the monster you're trying to cover up is not a secret to me, and I don't need to sneak in and gather any information. Avril was not at all afraid of the other party's intimidation.

However, all the soldiers, including the captain, couldn't help but change their color after hearing Avril's words.

"Who the hell are you?" Avril's words finally made the captain of the soldier a little confused, you know, the horrific thing that all the townspeople in Green Town have turned into monsters is absolutely unknown to the outside world, but the other party said it easily, how can he not be frightened.

"I'm Avril from the CIA, and I'm a survivor of Greentown, and the incident itself was forewarned by our CIA agents." As she spoke, Avril put her hand down unobtrusively.

"So what are you doing here? With such a sneaky act, I'm afraid that what you are doing will not be seen in the light of day, right? The captain of the soldiers sneered.

"It's a secret of our operation, and there's nothing to say!" Avril said toughly.

"Joke, do you think I'll believe you just because you say these two words?" The captain yelled.

"You can verify your identity, as for the purpose of my operation, if my superiors approve it, your military will naturally know, but as for whether it will let you know, I don't know." Avril sneered.

The captain of the soldiers naturally understood Avril's ridicule of his lack of rank, and his face was ugly, he weighed it for a moment, and said, "Then you can go back with us to be investigated." ”

"This is natural, originally I didn't want to have so many rights and wrongs to choose this way, but now that the action has been discovered by you, of course someone drove me back, who would go back the same way." Avril smirked.

"Let's go!" The captain motioned for his men to keep an eye on Avril, spat hatefully on the ground, turned his head and walked away.

The rest of the soldiers escorted Avril out of the woods and prepared to walk along the lake to their outpost, all the while Avril was in good order, but just as the soldiers were a little psychologically relaxed, Avril slammed down one of the soldiers who stood between her and the shore of the lake, and then before the others could react, she quickly leaped into Lake Biru.

The soldiers were in an uproar, and the captain heard something strange and hurried back, where he could see the splash caused by Avril Lavigne's entry into the water. I saw the captain running to the location where Avril fled in a rage, and couldn't help but get angry with his subordinates and said, "How did you guys, you can't even escort a woman?" What are you doing in a daze! Communicator to me! ”

The captain of the soldier took the communicator: "Report to the command center, I am 52." ”

"This is the command center, 52, please."

"I found an intruder woman on the shores of Lake Biru, medium build, long hair, dressed in an agent's uniform, most likely with special training, who has now infiltrated Lake Biru and escaped."

"The command center received, 52 continues to strictly guard the post."

"Yes!"

"674, 676, I'm the command center, please call back when you receive it."

"This is 674."

"676 online."

"Air support, focusing on the search for Lake Biru and the south bank of the Dabiru River in the area under your responsibility."

"674 Roger."

"676 received."

Ren Wei watched in horror at the hiding place, and when he saw Avril being taken out by the soldiers, his mind went blank. Just when he hadn't come to his senses, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Avril successfully get out of trouble, but the next moment, he was worried again, I don't know if Avril had found the documents before she was arrested, and if she did, it would still not be in her hands.

Just as he was thinking nonsense, a person suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake more than fifty meters away from him, it was Avril.

At this time, Avril's face was bloodless, her physical strength was exhausted, and she was constantly coughing, and the short distance of a few tens of meters was like a moat for her, and she struggled several times, but she could not shorten the distance from the shore.

Seeing this, Ren Wei rushed out of the forest in a few steps, ran wildly to the lake, plunged into the lake, and desperately swam towards Avril.

When Ren Wei swam to Avril's side, Avril had almost begun to sink slowly, and Ren Wei hurriedly supported Avril and lifted her up to swim back.

As soon as Avril Lavigne was dragged ashore, the sound of a helicopter propeller was heard in the distance, and Ren Wei didn't care to check Avril's condition, so he could only rush into the woods with her in his arms first.

After entering the forest, Ren Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but it was Avril, after such a toss, she spit out a few mouthfuls of water and gradually became conscious.

"Here's what you want, grab it and go!" The first thing Avril said was to urge Ren Wei to leave.

"What?" Ren Wei was stunned.

"932-861-4649, remember this number, and the other party will help you change your appearance for me, and then help you leave." Avril breathed a sigh of relief and added.

This Ren Wei reacted: Avril actually let him leave alone.

"What a joke! You take a break, let's go together, a helicopter just passed, we didn't find us, we still have some time before it returns for a second search, enough for you to ......rest" Ren Wei was very annoyed, although he had complained about Avril because of the trouble Avril had caused him, and later he was dissatisfied because of Avril's arbitrariness, but the moment he saw Avril help him so desperately, all the negative emotions disappeared.

But before Ren Wei finished speaking, Avril Lavigne, who breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly half-sat up, reached out and grabbed Ren Wei's collar, dragged him in front of him, and said with all her might: "Don't talk nonsense!" Get out now! ”

Immediately after that, the hand was released, and the whole person lay on the ground weakly.

When Ren Wei was about to say something, the sound of helicopters appeared again not far away, and this time, it was two.

"Do you have to let me fulfill my promise and die in front of you now before you can leave?" Avril also heard the sound of the helicopter approaching, her face calmed down, and then she took out her pistol and said something that made Ren Wei's heart tremble.

Ren Wei was forced, gritted his teeth and said, "Promise me, live!" ”

"Rest assured, at most I will be arrested and handed over to justice, and there is no death penalty in our country. But you, you must leave this country as soon as possible. Seeing that Ren Wei had compromised, Avril showed a smile.

Ren Wei believed Avril's words, said "There will be a period later", and then picked up the box and ran away from the helicopter.

After Ren Wei ran out of a distance, suddenly a gunshot rang out from Avril's location, Ren Wei was startled, and subconsciously thought that Avril had done something stupid.

At this time, the second shot rang out, and Ren Wei breathed a sigh of relief: it seemed that Avril was just covering for herself. Remembering that Avril had sworn to ensure her own safety, Ren Wei no longer cared, took a step and continued to run desperately.

But this time he had just run two steps when a thunderous machine gun sounded behind him.

"Avril Lavigneβ€”" Ren Wei Huo Ran turned his head and roared with all the strength of his body, desperately wanting to know Avril's safety.

At the same time, Ren Wei clearly felt that some shackles in his body were broken, and his perception expanded at an indescribable speed, the air, the grass, the trees, the water, Avril, the soldiers who were parachuting from the helicopter, the helicopter suppressing the ground fire, all kinds of things that could or could not be seen were clearly reflected in his mind.

From this moment on, Ren Wei became expressionless, receiving information like a machine, calculating it, making adjustments, and then acting.

Ren Wei began to run back like a leopard, and as the muscles in his legs continued to tennate, his speed became faster and faster, and when he ran back to where Avril had been, his speed was comparable to that of a speeding car.

The trunk of a tree not far from Avril had been broken, and the canopy of the tree was almost a milline away from her.

Ren Wei didn't even glance over there, but he already knew that Avril was fine, so he went straight to meet the soldiers who were gradually surrounding.

The soldier saw what looked like a human being rushing towards them, and hurriedly fired his gun.

A thick layer of bone armor instantly grew from the critical position on Ren Wei's body, and his entire face was completely enveloped, and his hands stretched out sharp bone blades, like a whirlwind through the entire army.

Then Ren Wei looked up at the two helicopters that were hovering at low altitude above his head, raised his arms, and aimed at one helicopter each, the bone blade transformed into the form of bone spurs, and before the helicopter pilot could figure out what he was going to do, he instantly lengthened, pierced the helicopter, and then immediately shortened and changed back into his hands.

After doing this, Ren Wei turned around and walked back from among the motionless soldiers.

Two helicopters that lost power fell, caught fire, and exploded from more than ten meters in the air, and the hot wind they brought with them blew through the forest, blowing through the bodies of the sculptural soldiers, and the soldiers turned into corpses that had been cut into pieces by sharp blades in their passes.

Avril was in a trance and only felt an afterimage flash in front of her eyes, and when she came back to her senses, there were already corpses all over the place.

And in front of her, there stood a hellish Shura.

"Ren...... ...... Wei," Avril said uncertainly.

The bone armor of Ren Wei's whole body slowly faded.

When the armor on Ren Wei's face disappeared, revealing his eyes hidden behind, his eyes gradually revealed fear, he lowered his head little by little, looked at his mutated body, and then turned his body back inch by inch.

At the moment when he saw the scene behind him, Ren Wei couldn't help but fall to his knees and vomit.

Seeing Ren Wei behaving like this, Avril laboriously climbed behind Ren Wei and patted him on the back.

"I didn't do it. Is it? Ren Wei asked Avril like a frightened child seeking refuge.

Avril sighed and didn't speak.

"I didn't do it. Is it? Ren Wei asked again.

"Our top priority now is to get out of here, make such a big move, and soon more troops will be here." Avril answered the question and diverted the topic again.

"Oh! Right, right! I'm getting out of here! I want to go home! Go home! Ren Wei muttered to himself, and stood up in a daze to leave.

Avril couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Ren Wei: "You sober up, do you really think it's a wise decision to return to your relatives now?" ”

When Ren Wei heard this, his whole body instantly stiffened, he turned his head to look at Avril Lavigne, and burst into tears: "Then what should I do?" What should I do next? ”

Avril limped close to Ren Wei, touched his cheek, and wiped away the tears on it.

"Let's find a place to hide first, and then wait for an opportunity to leave this country, and when we are safe, we will find out the cause of the change together, and at the worst of all, find a way for you to control the change freely, then you can go home, and everything will return to your original peaceful life as if it had not happened." Avril said softly.

"Okay, listen to you, let's go. Come, I'll carry you. Ren Wei listened to Avril's comforting words, easily believed it, and then took Avril away quickly without hesitation.

Where Ren Wei will go and what he will do in the future is unknown, and the only thing that can be determined is that his life will inevitably turn to another path.

As for whether this is a blessing or a curse, it depends on how he goes.
