Chapter 084: Sudden Change in the Storm
The weather in the jungle area was unpredictable, and God had been clouding his face for a while, when suddenly a gust of wind came, and the dark clouds were blown away. The rain didn't fall.
The night was long, but peaceful. Being able to sit with a good friend like Gulf, even if all he said was useless nonsense, Qi Lang's heart still gained a lot of comfort.
Finally, the day dawned, and the morning of inaction arrived.
The soldiers of the Whirling Frontier Army all got up, dressed and guarded together. They were still fantasizing that Captain Qi Lang would stick to his old style, ignore the orders of the command, and lead the team to continue to move towards the gamma goal.
But this time Qi Lang disappointed them. The order to stay in place has been ordered, and everyone can only stay here, recuperate, and wait until the sun climbs overhead, and then go to catch up with the opponent's footsteps again.
More than an hour had passed, and the bored soldiers noticed a strange phenomenon: the guys had not come up for a long time, and there was still only one flag in the beta target area. Could it be that they received the same order and had to wait until noon before they could leave?
Jira couldn't sit still for a long time, and sneaked down the hill ten minutes ago to give in-depth monitoring of the enemy's movements. Just as everyone was looking down the slope for some reason, his signal arrow exploded in the air!
"Peng!" The yellowish smoke looked unusually striking in the sky.
"Something must have happened, act immediately!" Qi Lang jumped up, and at the sound of an order, all the soldiers immediately picked up their weapons and rushed towards the enemy's camp. After more than twenty minutes, the Whirling Blade soldiers appeared in front of the enemy camp.
Gila was unharmed, tossing and turning from tent to tent without any restraint, while the men of Guy had vanished, walking cleanly as if they had evaporated.
"This bunch of cunning bastards, who didn't follow the rules, set off in the night. Jira kicked a rice pot into the embers of the campfire, looking infuriated.
"We have to expose them, disqualify them, and see what the fuck the Otto Empire has to say!"
Gulf scolded too, and although he was nervous a moment, he had managed to regain his strength after seeing an empty camp.
Just when the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation one by one and scolded their opponents for their bad behavior, Qi Lang shouted: "Be careful and take a defensive formation!"
Qi Lang noticed something abnormal, there must be something strange in this! If Gu Yi really wanted to break the rules and march towards the gamma goal in advance, they would definitely find a way to plant their flag on the hillside first, otherwise even if they reached the final goal first, they would still not be able to achieve the final victory. The reason why they quietly retreated was not because they encountered some sudden changes, but because they must have had another purpose!
There was silence all around, and there were no terrifying adversaries hiding in the shadows.
An ominous premonition hit Qi Lang's heart - all this was too suspicious!
Guy had made a big show up the hill last night and put on a good show in front of everyone, and it seemed that he was very concerned about the outcome of the contest. However, just as Owu challenged him, he made a lame excuse and retreated. In retrospect, that was unreasonable, and it was extremely inconsistent with his usual arrogant style!
What was the purpose of Gouy's doing that? Could it be that he wanted to arouse the fighting spirit of the Spinners and ask them to drive at full speed towards the Gamma target after dawn? The fact should also be that if Otrian had not conveyed the order to stop the advance, with the thoughts of Qi Lang and all the soldiers at that time, they would have taken the lead in driving towards the Gamma target at dawn, and they would not have found that Gu Yi and the others had quietly shifted the battlefield.
Where did they go? What kind of conspiracy is hidden here? The more Qi Lang thought about it, the more serious he felt about the situation!
"Sergeant Gulf, take Shokin and observe their footprints!" Qi Lang decisively ordered, "Since they have taken an unconventional action, we can't wait here any longer, we must follow them and crush their plans!"
"Leave it to me!" Gulf replied confidently. This task is what he does best, not to mention hundreds of people, even a cunning fox, he can firmly bite its tail, but don't forget, as the son of the best hunter in town, Gulf is no less stalking than the Dogo Dog. What's more, he also has an assistant who can fly.
Probably confident that the agitation method would be effective, the Guys didn't make a lot of effort to hide their tracks, their steps were neat, there was no messy feeling, and it was obviously an organized stealth. From this point of view, it can basically rule out the possibility that they will be attacked by foreign objects, and this verifies Qi Lang's conjecture on the other hand, Gu Yi's third detachment must have other goals, and this joint exercise is indeed the trick of that Absion!
Thinking back to the progress of the whole incident, Qi Lang was almost shocked into a cold sweat!
Suspicious! Suspicious! Suspicious!!
First of all, Absion's arrogant performance in the communication meeting, then another very unrealistic assassination attack, and when the exercise officially began, the famous Dragon Legion and the Tiger Cavalry appeared weak and weak, and they were always in a backward position, coupled with the sudden disappearance of Goui...... All kinds of phenomena are connected together, and they are strung together into a huge trap!
Although Qi Lang had guessed in advance, he couldn't figure out what kind of trick Abcion was playing, and even now, although he had followed the footprints left by Gu Yi, it was still unknown what kind of means his opponent would use. The heavy pressure hit in the air, almost crushing Qi Lang, the immature commander!
Abscion is a formidable opponent.
He laid out a big puzzle! He seized on the weakness of Lieutenant Colonel William and used all kinds of resources to lure his more fearful Spinners into this puzzle. He is completely the director behind this joint exercise, and everyone involved in it plays a small role, and no matter how he acts, he cannot escape his control!
Absion is indeed a formidable opponent!
Qi Lang now seemed to be breaking out more than a liter of cold sweat with every step he took. He even felt that Abscion was hiding at the top of the tall and dense branches, with a sinister sneer on his lips, watching his actors and how they were coming to a tragic end in this drama.
At this moment, Gulf in front shouted: "There is a situation!"
Qi Lang hurriedly collected his thoughts, stabilized his nerves, and hurried to Gurve's side in a few steps: "What's the matter, Gurf, what did you find?"
Shukin flew back from the air and landed on Gulf's shoulder. Gulf looked at her twice, nodded seriously, turned to Qi Lang and said, "I'm sorry, Shukin just reminded me that I seem to have taken the wrong path." This road was taken by their large troops, as if it were a route out of the battlefield. But in the palm grove just now, there was another person's footprints that broke away, and his destination was exactly the opposite. ”
Seeing that Qi Lang's face became ugly, Gulf thought that he had made a big mistake, and his pockmarked face suddenly turned red: "It's a shame, I'm so confused." Actually, I saw the footprints just now, but I thought it was a soldier who couldn't hold his urine and wanted to go to make it easier, so I ......"
"I don't blame you, Gulf. Qi Lang interrupted him in time, "But can you guess if that footprint could be Gu Yi's?"
Only then did Gurf suddenly come to his senses, and hurriedly took Qi Lang back and ran back, carefully observing for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: "It must be him, it can't be wrong! Except for him, no one would wear such high-end leather boots in this muddy pile, and his family must be very rich." ”
Jira leaned over at this time: "It's hard to do now." Which side are we following, is it the stinky boy, or is it the big team?"
Before Qi Lang could reply, a rough voice sounded next to him: "I have an idea!"
Gulf immediately rolled his eyes, and without looking, he knew that it must be that idiot from Ou who had come out to make trouble. "Forget it, listen to your idea, don't we all have to fall into the dung pit?" he whispered, but he didn't dare to let the strong man hear what he was saying.
"I'm going to follow that bastard. Owumai walked up on his thick legs, his eyes widening, "You go the other way." I promise to catch him in front of you, but I don't promise you'll recognize him, because his nose will be smashed by my fist!"
"Sergeant Owu, your courage is always so admirable. Jira's eyes were full of adoration, which made him lose his original judgment, "Please, take me, okay? I really want to see you like a god that day......"
Gulf couldn't take it anymore: "Save it, Gira, don't you think your performance is disgusting?"
Qi Lang hurriedly stopped this meaningless argument: "Sergeant Owu's courage is very admirable, but I can't allow myself to act alone now. We are not familiar with the terrain here, and we can only be more sure if we cooperate with each other, otherwise we will most likely die here. ”
"Then what do you think we should do?" Ao Wu asked viciously, seeing that posture, if Qi Lang's chosen path was not to his liking, he was likely to still stick to his choice.
Qi Lang held his chin and thought for a moment, then slowly turned around and gathered the soldiers over: "This path of Gu Yi is my choice. But I need to inform everyone in advance, it is very likely that what awaits on the other side is the conspiracy of the other party. It's going to be dangerous. Despite this, I believe that everyone must have been prepared to fight to the death!"
