Now that everyone was working together, Long Xiangtian observed the terrain again and issued new orders: "Three of you go this way and take a look. Three of you go the other way and be careful."
"This forest is quite large, and few people come here. Be careful of snakes, insects, rats, ants, and the like behind the leaves on the ground."
Then we agreed that no matter what happened, we should not alert the enemy, return here first, and gather before 6 o'clock in the evening.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although Long Xiangtian was eager to find that group of people, he also had to be responsible for the lives of the people in front of him.
After their two teams set off, the remaining five people, including Hu Zi and Gao Shu, all looked at Long Xiangtian, waiting for him to give them orders.
Who knew that Long Xiangtian put away the map and said to the others, "All of you follow me, go this way!"
Hu Zi was puzzled. There were four directions: east, south, west and north, and three people were just right for each direction. Why did Long Xiangtian let six people go in this direction
He was a man who could not keep secrets. If he had any questions that he could not figure out, he would ask them immediately: "Brother Zhou, why do we have to go to the same side?"
Seeing that they were all very confused, Long Xiangtian thought it would be a good idea to tell them so that they would be more vigilant, so he replied: "I think there must be something wrong here. My intuition has always been accurate, so I hope you will be careful too!"
Hu Zi and the others didn't say anything, they just nodded. On the surface, they didn't seem to have any opinion about Long Xiangtian's words. Only Gao Shu rolled his eyes and muttered a few words.
Long Xiangtian knew that he didn't believe it, but he didn't have any further explanation. What he said was the truth and he didn't lie to them. He himself didn't want to believe it, and Long Xiangtian couldn't do anything about it.
After walking for more than half an hour, everyone felt a little tired. After all, this search work was not only boring, but also required full concentration. The key point was that they did not have a specific goal or destination at all.
Long Xiangtian said, "Let's take a break first!" Not to mention them, even Long Xiangtian himself felt a little tired. Everyone didn't pay much attention and sat down or lay down anywhere to stretch their bodies.
"Hey, Brother Zhou, how old are you? It's no wonder I looked down on you before. You're too skinny and small, and you don't look intimidating at all. And your face, wow, is too pretty. You don't look like someone who lives on the edge of a knife at all!"
It would be awkward to just sit there without saying anything, so Hu Zi took the initiative to find some topics to talk about, and he was indeed very interested.
Long Xiangtian didn't care about Hu Zi's description of him. He now knew Hu Zi well, so he replied, "I'm 28 years old this year, and I used to be a soldier."
Hu Zi was also a gossiper. He winked and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend now?"
Long Xiangtian thought of Lin Yan, and then of Lin Jiaxin who was far away in Country G. He smiled faintly and did not answer. Hu Zi was a man with a rich emotional life. He knew the answer from Long Xiangtian's expression and looked at him meaningfully.
Suddenly, Long Xiangtian's expression became stern and he became serious. His face was tense without a smile and a terrifying aura unconsciously burst out of his body.
This scared Hu Zi who was standing beside him. Hu Zi thought that he had angered Long Xiangtian with his joke just now. He wanted to apologize, but he couldn't say it for a moment.
After listening quietly for a while, Long Xiangtian relaxed and asked, "Did you hear any strange sounds, like the roar of a human or an animal, or the sound of a machine running?"
Hu Zi and the others shook their heads in confusion and said, "No, there is no sound here. Even if there is, it is just the sound of birds. Brother Zhou, are you too nervous? Are you hallucinating?"
Long Xiangtian still said with a serious face: "No, I heard it!" Seeing that Long Xiangtian did not seem to be lying, several people also pricked up their ears to listen, but after a while they shook their heads to indicate that they heard nothing.
Long Xiangtian stood up and said to everyone: "Let's go and take a look. Everyone be careful!" He would not give up on any suspicious things, which might be an important breakthrough.
A group of people followed Long Xiangtian and walked forward. In fact, they did not feel it was dangerous, but seeing Long Xiangtian's cautious look, they also tensed up. After all, they still valued their lives.
After walking a few hundred meters forward, Long Xiangtian felt that the sound was getting louder and louder. They were getting closer. This time even several other people could faintly hear the sound.
Everyone's expression became solemn. The sound really sounded like a roar, mixed with sounds like construction work.
At this moment, Long Xiangtian suddenly remembered what he heard in the street stall that night. He felt that they must be talking about this place, and felt extremely annoyed.
I clearly realized something was wrong but I didn't take it seriously. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted these two days.
But now is not the time to blame himself. The voice in front sounds very terrifying. The current situation is not very clear. Long Xiangtian has no idea what is ahead, so he needs to be extra careful now.
"Everyone has to be on their toes!" After giving this reminder, Long Xiangtian's face tightened as he looked around and took very careful steps.
The sound was clearly very close to them. According to common sense, they should be able to see the target in two minutes at most. However, they had been wandering around for half an hour without any results, and the volume of the sound had not changed.
There are two reasons for this. One is that their distance from the destination has remained the same, and the other is that there is something wrong with the sound...
Long Xiangtian felt that it should be the second reason. After all, they had been traveling for so long and had been to different places.
A "click" sound came from under one of the men's feet, and the man immediately stopped. Long Xiangtian and the others also looked at his feet cautiously. The sound just now was definitely not the sound of a branch being stepped on, but rather like...
Thinking of something, Long Xiangtian immediately walked up to the man, knelt on one leg, and carefully reached out to peel off the fallen leaves, dirt and other objects at his feet. He saw a small black thing appear in front of him.
Long Xiangtian was naturally familiar with this thing, and even Hu Zi and others were very familiar with it. It was a remote control, which was usually connected to a pack of explosives.
The man's feet were shaking a little, and Long Xiangtian immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, don't move your feet, relax, it will be fine!" Then he looked at Hu Zi and others and said, "Be on guard!"
Long Xiangtian's voice was obviously very cold, but at this moment it had the magical power to soothe people's hearts. In this critical moment, no one was worried or afraid. Instead, they felt at ease. Even the person with his foot on the remote control gradually calmed down.
Long Xiangtian took out the knife from his body and said to him: "I will cut the knife into the sole of your shoe. It may hurt your foot. You must be patient and don't act rashly."
The man nodded, and Long Xiangtian carefully cut the sole of his shoe with the knife, then pressed it with the knife and said, "Be careful, lift your feet out, and be on guard."
The man nodded, and Long Xiangtian asked the others if they were ready. After getting a positive answer, he gradually loosened the strength of his hands and then jumped out.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The sound of bombs exploding was heard, and the soil where Long Xiangtian had just knelt was blown away. Fallen leaves fluttered in the air, and there were explosions everywhere within ten meters around.
