"I'm sorry, Lao Xu, I..."
"Let's not talk about that. How are you? Did you just fall?" Interrupting Luo Baochun's words, Lao Xu had a look of concern on his face.
To be honest, Xu Renjie felt no less guilty than Luo Baochun at this moment.
After all, he asked Luo Baochun to lead the way, and the special geographical environment of mountains and forests is inherently difficult for ordinary people.
Therefore, Luo Baochun's accident cannot be entirely blamed on him.
However, the more concerned Lao Xu was, the stronger the self-blame in Luo Baochun's heart became. He shook his head in embarrassment and replied hesitantly: "I, I'm fine."
"Well, it's okay! Pay attention!" Hearing that Luo Baochun was fine, Lao Xu stretched out his hand to pull it up, then put the tiger fang back into the scabbard at his waist, and then picked up the hastily thrown away from the ground. War knife.
"Let's go!" With Lao Xu's low voice, the team of survivors set off again after a false alarm.
However, thanks to this accident, all the surviving team members subconsciously became more vigilant.
In the mountain forest, the light was slightly dim. Fortunately, the survivor team's destination was not deep in the forest. Otherwise, just hiking in would have been enough for Tang Xiaoquan and others to drink.
But even this is already causing a lot of hardship for survivors who have little experience in surviving in the wild.
Fortunately, everyone on this trip was wearing anti-cutting clothing, and the mountain forest was not a real primitive jungle. Therefore, except for the slight inconvenience of moving under the feet, there were no other difficulties such as scratches and branches blocking the way.
Just like that, under Luo Baochun's unskilled leadership, the survivors finally stopped in front of a low-lying area.
Seeing Luo Baochun stop, Lao Xu naturally raised his fist and made a gesture of stopping the queue.
He walked forward in a few steps, and when he saw Lao Xu coming up, Luo Baochun immediately leaned over in a showmanlike manner, and then raised his arms in a serious manner: "Old Xu, look over there, there is a cave, do you think those guys will hide? inside?"
Lao Xu was not stupid when he heard what Luo Baochun said. He immediately understood that the cave in front of him was the target location he wanted to explore today.
Lao Xu immediately issued an alert order and at the same time summoned Thunder Eyes.
Undoubtedly, he will do the next thing with Lei Tong.
After all, Lundao sneaks into the investigation. There is no one here who is more reliable than Thunder Eyes.
Everyone had no meaning to Lao Xu's arrangement. The named team members all consciously carried out alert and defense according to the defense formations taught and trained by Lao Xu on weekdays.
The forest was unusually quiet, but this silence gave people an invisible pressure.
Old Xu, who had long been accustomed to this kind of environment, calmly accepted the telescope handed over by Wang Qiang. He raised the telescope and looked around before deciding to lean over and take a look.
"Old Xu, what are you doing?"
Seeing that Lao Xu was about to take action, Hu Xiaodong, who was looking around with a bow and arrow, asked solemnly.
Lao Xu pointed forward: "I'm going to go over there and see what's going on."
"Just go there like this? Isn't it too dangerous?"
No matter how outstanding Hu Xiaodong's archery skills are or how awesome his physical fitness is, he is still an ordinary person. Compared with Lao Xu, who was born as a soldier, Lei Tong thought that he was still far behind in many things.
Take the current investigation as an example. In the eyes of an ordinary person like Hu Xiaodong, it might be quite difficult, but to Lao Xu, Thunder Eyes were as commonplace as a daily routine.
"It's okay. I looked carefully around the cave. There are no sentry posts. It won't be a big deal if I touch it now."
Lao Xu is not a reckless person, and his decision to approach for investigation was not impulsive.
Observe through Shicai. He deduced that there were only two possibilities for the opponent not setting up a guard on the perimeter.
One way is that these gangsters are too alert.
You know, in such an apocalyptic environment. No matter who you are, no matter what equipment you have, if you dare to be undefended, it already shows how bad this team is.
Of course, Lao Xu didn't think the bandits were that stupid, so another possibility was that they weren't in the cave.
If so. Going on this trip is undoubtedly more risk-free.
Based on these two points, Lao Xu finally made the decision to touch it.
Hu Xiaodong also knew Lao Xu's temper, and it was difficult to change things he had decided.
Of course, he knows Lao Xu's strength better, and he believes that the other party must be fully confident when he decides to do this.
That being the case...
"Well, be careful. If something happens, pull back immediately. We will stay here to guard you."
Nodding, Lao Xu jumped out of the depression.
As soon as Lao Xu moved, Lei Tong immediately followed.
But just when the two were about to take further action, Tang Xiaoquan suddenly shouted: "Old Xu, wait a minute!!"
Turning his head in admiration, Tang Xiaoquan's roar somewhat frightened Old Xu.
It's no wonder, considering that Lao Xu and the others were less than a hundred meters away from the cave at this time. Even though Tang Xiaoquan's voice was very low when he shouted, there was still no guarantee that others would not notice him.
Instinctively lowering his body, Lao Xu subconsciously raised the 95 automatic steps on his back, and quickly scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes.
Lao Xu has done these tactical moves countless times in the past, so now it is completely a subconscious reaction of the muscles.
After waiting for about 10 seconds and confirming that there was nothing unusual, Lao Xu frowned and stepped back.
As soon as they entered the depression, Lao Xu asked with a solemn expression: "What's going on?"
Tang Xiaoquan also heard the anger in Lao Xu's words. He was helpless and a little self-blame about this, but there was a reason for the incident, and Tang Xiaoquan had to do something.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Tang Xiaoquan raised his right arm and moved it slightly to the side.
Following the direction of Tang Xiaoquan's arm, everyone's eyes turned.
Then Luo Baochun made a surprised sound: "What is this?"
Blood! Big beach of blood! Although the color of blood has long lost its luster after years of erosion, the traces scattered on the roots of deciduous trees are still clear.
Seeing the dried blood, the survivors all looked at each other.
Obviously, the presence of such a large pool of blood so close to the entrance of the cave speaks for itself.
Thinking of the silence around him and the appearance of the dead body just now, Luo Baochun felt a chill down his spine.
"This blood probably belongs to that guy just now!" Hu Xiaodong speculated casually.
"It could also be someone from there." Tang Xiaoquan added immediately.
But none of them can give a definite answer to this highlight.
The only way to uncover the mystery right now is to go into the cave to investigate.
After a moment of hesitation, Lao Xu regained his consciousness, and after telling everyone to be more vigilant, he jumped out of the depression again, then called Lei Tong and quickly moved towards the entrance of the cave.
The various encounters in the forest obviously aroused Lao Xu's curiosity to find out what happened. He was eager to know what happened in the forest and whether anything happened to the prisoners. (To be continued.)
