At dawn the rain finally stopped. The forest was filled with a thick layer of fog and visibility was only a few meters. A burst of chirping of birds woke up a man and a woman lying on the hay bed.
The two heard the chirping of birds at the same time, opened their eyes at the same time, and then saw each other at the same time. Their eyes met, and Tang Yuyan saw Xia Lei's face, which was very close at hand. Only then did she realize that she was sleeping in Xia Lei's arms. One of Xia Lei's hands was still around her waist, and the other hand was still holding her waist. It served as a pillow for her.
If the two were a couple, this would definitely be a very loving gesture, but the problem is that the two are not a couple at all, not even a couple.
Xia Lei quickly pulled his hand away, then turned his head and said nervously: "I didn't see anything."
Upon hearing such words, Tang Yuyan kicked Xia Lei on the butt without saying a word.
"Ah—" Xia Lei cried out in pain, and she kicked the wound on his butt.
However, Tang Yuyan was still embarrassed and wanted to make up for it. She was like this, but he still said he didn't see it. Was he blind
Xia Lei's kick was in vain, but he wasn't angry either. Although it was because of a cold and fever, she was a woman and he was a man after all. He had taken so many advantages, so what would it matter if he was kicked by her
This kick seemed to be a summary of the fever incident. Ten minutes later, the two left the shack and trekked deep into the forest. The positioning electronic instrument in Tang Yuyan's hand became a navigator for the two of them, and they followed the direction shown by the signal.
The fog shrouding the forest was a good thing for Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan. Their speed was not greatly affected, but the pursuers of the White Hun tribe were unable to catch up in such foggy weather. Even with a hound, the humid air and the smell of decay in the forest will affect the hound's sense of smell.
The fog dissipated near noon, and by then Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan had already approached the area where the signal point was located.
Tang Yuyan ignored Xia Lei all the way here. She was obviously still angry from last night. But when she got closer to the signal point, she started talking more.
"We are almost there. I wonder what the situation of those experts is now. What do you think?" Tang Yuyan glanced at Xia Lei.
"I don't know." Xia Lei shook his head.
Tang Yuyan frowned, "You guy, you are so smart, don't you have any idea? You must still be angry about the kick I kicked you this morning, right? You are too stingy!"
Xia Lei touched his butt and frowned, "The place you kicked was my wound, and it still hurts. If I didn't save you last night, you might not be able to walk now, so you can Is this how to repay my kindness?"
"Don't mention what happened last night!" Tang Yuyan raised a pink fist and threw it at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei slipped away and couldn't help but smile on his face, "Stop fighting, I tell you."
Tang Yuyan put away her fists, then rolled her eyes at Xia Lei, "That's pretty much it."
She has a lively and forthright personality and loves to joke, which is why Xia Lei can't help teasing her. He likes to see her angry and shy.
Xia Lei compiled his thoughts before saying: "I think we have overlooked a very important issue, that is, this is the territory of the White Huns tribe. People from Jingjing and the expert team are active in this area. Do you think the people of the White Huns tribe Don’t you know?”
"You mean... the members of the expert team were arrested?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. It would be great if we knew the purpose of the expert team here." Xia Lei observed Tang Yuyan's expression and said tentatively: "It's already this time, tell me, our experts What is the group doing here?"
"Don't lie to me, I really don't know. I'm here to perform a mission, not to do scientific research, and I'm not interested either." Tang Yuyan said.
"What should we do if all our experts are caught?" Xia Lei asked.
Tang Yuyan said: "Find a way to steal our satellite phone and ask for support."
Xia Lei thought of the women of the White Huns tribe who were like wolves and tigers, and he couldn't help but have a bitter smile on his lips. Go to the White Hun tribe to steal satellite phones? That's a death-defying thing to do with your head in your pants.
The two of them had nothing to gain from their discussion, but their vision suddenly became brighter as they spoke. The forest mysteriously disappeared here, and a wasteland stretched forward, and at the end was another rolling mountain. Under the sun, the white snow on the top of the mountain is crystal clear, like a scroll.
Xia Lei lowered his gaze and looked towards the center of the wasteland. A pile of rocks came into his sight. At first glance, it was just a large piece of stone, but after closer inspection, he discovered that the piece of stone had the outline of a town. The appearance of the building can also be vaguely recognized in some places that have not collapsed. Finally, he came to the conclusion that it was an ancient town that had collapsed and turned into ruins.
This discovery made Xia Lei excited. He took the positioning electronic instrument in Tang Yuyan's hand and compared it. The result came out quickly. The signal was emitted from the ancient stone town.
"What did you find?" Tang Yuyan didn't have the incredible eyesight like Xia Lei, but her intuition was very sensitive.
Xia Lei pointed forward, "There seems to be a stone city there, and the signal is sent from there."
Tang Yuyan couldn't wait to grab the electronic instrument from Xia Lei's hand. After comparing it, she became excited, "That's it, let's go and have a look!"
Xia Lei did not move, "Our experts are working here, will the people of the White Huns tribe be so peaceful?"
Tang Yuyan also calmed down and said, "Give me the sniper rifle and I'll take a look with the scope. Damn it, my telescope was also taken away by those stinky women."
Xia Lei did not hand the sniper rifle to Tang Yuyan, but took off the scope and gave it to her. This thing is just a decoration to him and has no use at all.
Tang Yuyan didn't say anything. She observed the ruins with the scope of her sniper rifle.
Xia Lei secretly said in his heart: "This place has a weird atmosphere everywhere, but I didn't know anything. If I went there rashly, if the people from the White Huns tribe set a trap there, wouldn't I fall into a trap myself? Wait... How could I have forgotten my father? He must know something. He left a note and when he arrived at the White Huns’ tribe..."
His father Xia Changhe asked him to leave the people around him after arriving at the White Huns tribe, and then the Russian woman Yelena who sent the message met him.
Last night was actually the best opportunity to meet, but Tang Yuyan was in trouble at that time, and he couldn't leave at that time.
"Yu Yan, you observe here, I will go elsewhere to observe, and we will meet here in half an hour." Xia Lei made a decision quickly.
Now it's time to meet Yelena.
Tang Yuyan thought for a moment, "Okay, let's meet here in half an hour. If you find people from the White Hun tribe, don't act rashly and avoid them."
"The same goes for you, be careful." Xia Lei also warned.
Tang Yuyan suddenly came up to him, gave Xia Lei a hug, and said in his ear: "Don't die, I'm still waiting to settle the score with you."
Xia Lei smiled. He actually knew what she wanted to settle. But with such a confusing account, he didn't know how she could settle it with him.
Xia Lei quickly disappeared into the dense forest behind him.
Tang Yuyan continued to observe the ruins with the scope of the sniper rifle, but after taking a few glances, she suddenly remembered something, "Oops, his scope is still in my hand, he..." She turned back to look for Xia Lei, but All he saw was a dense forest.
In the forest, Xia Lei was not very fast. He moved carefully, making bird sounds as he did so. He hopes to attract Yelena out in this way.
About ten minutes later, Xia Lei's efforts finally received a response.
"Cuckoo..." A cuckoo-like cry came from one direction, and it was a female cuckoo.
Xia Lei heard the sound, a smile appeared on his lips, and he walked in that direction. While walking, his left eye twitched slightly, and everything in a large area was invisible. The ants crawling on the tree trunks, the birds on the branches, and the poisonous snakes lurking in the grass could not escape him. Eye.
Soon, a woman came into his sight, it was Yelena, the assistant of his father Xia Changhe. She hid in a tree and cautiously peered over. After he came into her sight, she slid down from the tree.
"I waited for you all night last night!" Elena complained when she saw Xia Lei: "You let me soak in the rain all night, but you slept with that woman in that shack! If it weren't for your father , I couldn’t help but want to throw a grenade into that shack.”
Xia Lei couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "I'm sorry, she is sick, I can't leave her behind."
Elena sneered, "You enjoy holding her, right? You forgot about me."
Xia Lei was speechless, and his face was secretly flushed.
"Forget it, for your father's sake, I won't argue with you." Elena then said, "What is your plan?"
"Rescue the trapped experts and then retreat." Xia Lei didn't hide anything, "Where is my dad?"
"You want to see him?"
"Of course, tell me, where is he now?"
"I can't tell you that you are in danger now, and he has been in a very dangerous situation. Originally, he could still control the situation, but after you appeared, his situation became passive."
"What is his identity? What is your identity?" Xia Lei's emotions were a little out of control. He couldn't wait to find out all this.
Elena was silent for a moment, "We are all free agents."
This statement was the same as Liang Siyao's original statement, but Xia Lei couldn't be satisfied with just such an answer. Such an answer also made Xia Lei feel a surge of unknown anger. "Since he doesn't want to see me, why did he send you here? To chat with me?"
Yelena looked straight at Xia Lei, "You are no longer a rebellious child. You should know your father's situation. He is your father. Everything he does is for you. Is this still true?" Isn’t it enough for you to understand him and forgive him?”
