The two of Rantis and Bit managed to sneak up on a detachment of the "Elite Squad" and get a lot of supplies from them, the most important of which was food and water, followed by a small amount of weapons and ammunition.

After the raid, the two men drove the vehicle and didn't drive too far, because they didn't expect the "elite team" to really catch up, first of all, they didn't have much to do, and they didn't need to go all out to play with themselves for this little material, and secondly, these people were clearly moving towards one place day and night, and Landis thought that the "elite team" would not be delayed for too long because of this little thing.

As Lantis had guessed, the "elite squad" that had suffered a small wave of blows really didn't catch up, and they quickly counted their losses, then packed up their equipment and prepared to continue their journey.

Of course, these things are not clear to Landis and Bit, and they are eating and drinking to fill their bellies, and they suddenly find a shadow not far ahead, and the strange atmosphere suddenly spreads, making people break out in a cold sweat on their backs.

Not only will this shadow reappear after being torn apart by bullets, but no matter how much Landis and Bit chase forward, they will never be able to catch up with the shadow that is about to leave, and the temperamental Landis can't stand it a little, he pushed the car door and wanted to get out of the car again, and use his best guy to try whether this shadow is a human or a ghost.

"There's no need for that," Bit shook his head, looking a little rough, "I don't think he seems to have any ill will towards us, do you think he wants to take us somewhere?" ”

Bit already had this idea before, but Landis didn't listen to it, and then listened to Bit say this idea again, Rantis, who had one foot stretched out outside, immediately stopped moving, he looked at the bit in the passenger seat, and then looked at the shadow floating in front of the car, and said that it was very possible.

"So, you're suggesting that we both follow him?"

As he spoke, Rantis retracted the foot that had gotten out of the car, and closed the door of the convertible pickup, Bit nodded and said:

"Not impossible."

……

This chase lasted almost the whole night.

At first, Lantis was still full of interest, he drove the open-top pickup truck all the way to chase the shadow in front of him, and the shadow was the same as before, fluttering and maintaining a distance of about twenty meters, and then seeing that the bright moon in the sky began to rest, the shadow was still vaguely floating around that distance, and Landis's interest was getting weaker and fainter.

In the end, not only Landis, but even Bit began to wonder if he had guessed wrong, and the shadow was not trying to take them somewhere at all, but purely playing the two of them like silly boys, taking them on the run and play.

After chasing, the sky turned out to be bright.

"Huh? What about the shadows? ”

Almost as soon as the first rays of sunlight shone through the horizon, the shadows dissipated very abruptly, leaving only an open-top pickup truck that had been running all night and two stunned people in the front and passenger seats.

Rantis looked at Bit, and Bit looked at Landis, and after their eyes were wide and small, they got off the pickup and scanned the surroundings several times, - there was a strange shadow there, and there was not even a single hair in the air.

Was everything that happened last night a delusion?

Bit kept rubbing his eyes that he couldn't open, yawning all day long, he just wanted to find a place to sleep, as for what shade is not a shadow, this thing is not as important as sleeping.

Relying on his rough skin and thick meat, Bit didn't have to go back to the car, he directly found a relatively flat ground, and lay down on the ground even if he went to bed, not even half a minute, and there was a burst of earth-shattering snoring.

There wasn't much space on the pickup, and he couldn't sleep at all with the size of the bit, and it wasn't the first time he had slept on the floor, and Lantis had already seen it.

Rantis also stayed up all night, but he didn't have much heart to sleep at this time, and walked to the place where the shadows disappeared to take a closer look, and Rantis suddenly had a discovery that was not too big, but he couldn't help but make a bright spot.

"Footprints?"

Squatting on the ground, Rantis kept fanning the ground with his hands, he squeezed his strength, for fear that he would fan the shallow footprints if he moved too much, and through the footprints, Landis judged that the traces left by an adult man in this matter, although the traces were very shallow, should not have passed too long, and it was very likely that the "shadow" left by last night.

Now Landis is eighty percent sure that the "shadow" is neither an illusion nor a ghost, but a living, flesh-and-blood human being.

So why did such a human being play the game of "you chase me and escape" with himself all night, what did he want to do, and why did he not appear in front of him in front of him......

A thousand thoughts swirled in Lantis's mind, and he twisted a little bit of sand from the footprints with his fingers, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, - blood, it was blood.

Even though the smell of blood wasn't heavy, and it didn't smell like fresh blood, Landis was still able to sniff out traces of the blood that had been baked by the scorching sun, and it was still some time before the sun rose, so it was supposed to be "old blood".

A tall, strong, bloodied adult man, who had not slept well at night, had to take advantage of the darkness to pretend to be a ghost in front of him—Rantis could not figure out why he had done so.

Perhaps, maybe it's really called Bit, where does the other party want to take him?

Rantis touched his chin, and after a moment he pursed his lips again, saying in his heart that no matter what the other party wanted to do, he couldn't figure out a clue after all, and instead of continuing to think nonsense, it was better to learn from bits, lie down and sleep first.

……

After sleeping in the afternoon, Landis and Bit, who woke up, had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, and started the "big eyes and small eyes" activity that ended in the middle of the morning, and finally it was Landis who made a decision and said:

"Forget about that shadow, it's still the same as before, find a way to find the other members of the 'Commando', as well as Natalia and Schultz, and it's decided."

So Lantis and Bit began to follow the traces of the "Elite Squad" again, after all, in this kind of ghost place, only the "Elite Squad" has radio communication with each other, and they will not get lost if they follow them, otherwise the barren land is so big, how can Landis know where to go next.

Unexpectedly, that night, that annoying "shadow" reappeared.
