69. Searching for the South Asian Underground Space Again
"Kiddy?" Gu Yuexi was slightly stunned, and a series of ups and downs that she and Wang Wenyuan experienced on the way to the Dayang River Meander immediately appeared in her mind.
"Looks like you're still impressed." The pretender sneered, and then his body became illusory, and after a few seconds, vanished.
"Heh, you're running fast." Gu Yuexi couldn't help but shrug her shoulders, then turned her head, and happened to see Zhao Chenghui waving at Wang Wenyuan, and then disappeared from her sight.
"Wen Yuan, let's go." She saw that he was preoccupied, and knew that Zhao Chenghui must have revealed some crucial clues to him, so she planned to put some words out of his mouth.
"Girl, wait a minute." Sure enough, Wang Wenyuan walked quickly to her side in the next second, and took out a crumpled yellowed map.
"That's true." Gu Yuexi couldn't help muttering quietly, and then unfolded the map and looked at it carefully with the help of the faint light in the forest.
Strangely, this map is similar to the one in Wang Wenyuan's hand last time, which is the deployment map of the British army in the Assam area in the forties of the twentieth century, but there are some differences, that is, the first map is the deployment map of the area north of Cohima issued by the British and Indian Governor Victor Hope on June 15, 1942, while the second map is the deployment map of Imphal and its surrounding areas jointly issued by the British 14th Army Commander Slim and the British and Indian Governor Wavell on February 24, 1944.
Compared with 1942, 1944 was a year of decline for the fascist Axis powers, but the troubled fascist countries were still in a dying struggle, including the famous Battle of Imphal launched by Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya, commander of the Japanese 15th Army in March 1944, and the Fourth Battle of Changsha launched by Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the Japanese 11th Army in May 1944.
It's just that Wang Wenyuan handed her such a shabby and yellowed old map, what did he want?
Of course, she soon had the answer in her heart, because between the lightning and flint, there was a small and quite clear memory in her mind inexplicably.
"Could it be that the small, masked old man did it again?" Gu Yuexi suddenly remembered her previous experience in the underground space of Sadia Village, and muttered in a low voice.
However, unlike the last memory, this memory contains not only a map, but also a very brief Spanish alphabet.
After a general confirmation, Gu Yuexi quickly got some valuable clues, that is, the map in her mind was a topographic map of the northeastern border of Bangladesh, and as for that letter, it was a brief overview of how the place entered the underground space that traverses northeastern South Asia.
"Girl, there is no key information on this map." Wang Wenyuan saw that she was looking at the defense map of the eastern edge of Assam in her hand quite seriously, and then said with a little doubt.
"Yes, but you didn't see it." Gu Yuexi replied to him lightly, but she couldn't help but speculate in her heart: Could it be that the mysterious old man has some kind of inexplicable connection with the high-ranking figures of Sevi Silver or the Guzd?
After thinking for a while, she didn't get anything of value, so she couldn't help but retract her thoughts and focus on finding the entrance and exit of the underground space, after all, the immediate priority is to get to Sadia Village as soon as possible, and with the help of the underground space, you can save half to three-quarters of the time, in this case, why not?
With the hints of pictures and words in her mind, she quickly identified the location of the nearest entrance to the underground space to them, which was an island in the middle of a river ten kilometers northeast of the high mountain plateau.
"Wenyuan, without further ado, let's go." Gu Yuexi waved at him mysteriously, and then walked briskly towards the motorcycle.
"That...... I'll do it. Although Wang Wenyuan didn't know how she determined the specific location of the entrance and exit of the underground space, he knew that the next road would definitely not be easier than going up the mountain, so he said it immediately.
"Thank you." Gu Yuexi patted him on the shoulder with a little gratitude, then sorted out her lower bag, and said to herself, "Drive northeast." ”
"Okay, girl, sit tight." Wang Wenyuan smiled slightly, then looked ahead, slowly twisted the handlebars, and galloped towards the thick darkness in front of him.
As he says, the downhill trail is indeed more difficult than the uphill trail, not only in terms of the ruggedness and twists of the road, but also in the increase in rain and the outbreak of flash floods and mudslides.
"Are you afraid?" Gu Yuexi suddenly put her head on his shoulder, and then asked such an extremely strange question.
"Oh?" Wang Wenyuan's attention was all on driving, and he naturally didn't think about how to answer her question, so he couldn't stop starting, so that he was unstable, and the motorcycle almost lost its balance and fell into the dammed lake below the cliff.
"I'm sorry." She saw that he hurriedly grasped the handlebars and turned around, so she hurriedly raised her head and said apologetically.
"It's okay, I suddenly remembered what we had experienced when we were in Patna City away from the pursuit of those soldiers." Wang Wenyuan couldn't help but smile and said subconsciously.
"How did you feel when you saw me turn around and rush down a steep slope?" Gu Yuexi saw that the next mountain road was a little smoother, so she asked another "abnormal" question.
"Well, at first, the brain went blank, then it was overwhelmed, and finally it dawned on." Wang Wenyuan said as he appropriately reduced the speed of the vehicle so that the motorcycle could pass through several landslides and waterlogged roads smoothly.
"Huh?" Gu Yuexi immediately showed a surprised face, then regained her composure, and said in a low voice: "What is the sudden enlightenment method?" ”
"Well, that's it, I suddenly feel that Miss Gu is a resourceful and talented woman, although she acts unconventionally, and often has no way out, but she always makes a reversal at the last moment, making us bright and bright." Wang Wenyuan pretended to ponder for a while, and then said slowly.
"Hey, serious nonsense." Gu Yuexi turned her head pretending to be serious, but there was a trace of joy hidden in her smart peach blossom eyes.
About half an hour later, the motorcycle was safely parked in a slightly hidden river bay, and according to the map and text warning, the island in the middle of the river should be nearby.
"Here, apply some insect repellent." Gu Yuexi saw mosquitoes flying in the weeds by the river, so she took out a bottle of mosquito repellent with a pungent smell and carefully applied it to the surface of his skin.
"You can also do it, I have rough skin and thick flesh, and mosquitoes can't get in." Seeing this, Wang Wenyuan's face showed a little restraint, and then he took out a bottle of mosquito repellent spray and carefully sprayed it on her arm.
"Yours has a good bottle." Slightly curious, she held the bottle in her palm and noticed that the liquid in the bottle had a clear fragrance and was more effective than hers.
"Really?" Wang Wenyuan said in a little surprise, and then said embarrassedly: "Can I change it with you?" ”
"Absolutely." She smiled faintly, and at the same time stood up and walked slowly towards the riverbank.
