This trial was much more difficult than the last time.
At least the last trial gave them some time to rest and relax, but they didn't get a good rest at all in the past two days, and the longest rest period was less than five hours.
Thinking of this, Liu Ziyun turned his head and looked to the side.
Tang Jiumin's condition was much better. His breathing was not as rapid as before and he was gradually recovering. At the same time, the sweat on his forehead was also much less.
Liu Ziyun felt that his decision was indeed the right one.
It was wise for Tang Jiumin to lead the entire team. The dangers they encountered along the way were minimized under his plan.
Compared with the last trial...
I don’t know how much better the team’s situation is now.
But just when Liu Ziyun was sighing secretly, he suddenly heard Shan Zhaoyang's voice.
"Officer Liu! Come on! Come over here and see if there's anything here. I seem to hear some strange noises."
When Liu Ziyun heard this, his spirit, which had just relaxed a little, suddenly became tense.
He put away the tablet, quickly got up and walked towards Shan Zhaoyang, and saw Shan Zhaoyang aiming his rifle into the distance.
"what's the situation?"
Shan Zhaoyang clenched his rifle and stared at the unknown distance. He shook his head and answered nervously:
"I don't know, but I heard something moving in front of me. It was too dark to see the details."
The area in front of them was typically pitch black.
The light of the combat uniform can only illuminate a distance of more than ten meters in front of him.
The two of them illuminated the place in front of them. There was nothing but pieces of gravel.
Liu Ziyun frowned, quickly took out the tablet, lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a while.
"The image shows that there are no living creatures around. Did you hear that correctly?"
Shan Zhaoyang glanced at the tablet in Liu Ziyun's hand, and a flash of envy flashed through his eyes:
"I didn't know that when Captain Tang handed the tablet to you, only you could see the image, and I couldn't."
"Just now I felt like there was a shadow running in, and I heard a sound again, and I thought something was approaching. Isn't this to be more vigilant for fear of an accident."
Liu Ziyun looked down at the screen again. After confirming that it was correct, he shook his head: "There is nothing here. You may be too nervous and feel wrong. Go back."
The two returned to the rock pile. Liu Ziyun returned to his original position to rest, while Shan Zhaoyang rested for a while and sneaked to the back where Cheng Zhi rested.
She was sitting there resting when she heard footsteps and opened her eyes.
It's Shan Zhaoyang who's back.
Cheng Zhi held something in her right hand and silently shook her right hand towards Chen Min.
Shan Zhaoyang looked happy when he saw this.
All went well and the woman got the chip.
His hanging heart was finally relieved.
Shan Zhaoyang immediately walked to Cheng Zhi and stretched out his hand to ask for the chip.
A cold look flashed in Cheng Zhi's eyes, and she reached out to hand the chip to the other party.
"Then what should we do next?" Cheng Zhi asked as he stretched out his hand.
When Shan Zhaoyang saw that the chip finally fell into his hand, he quickly received his backpack and couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Great, with this thing, I... we can survive." He said.
Cheng Zhi repeated the question he just asked.
"You don't have to worry about the next thing. I have a plan. When the time comes, you just need to follow my instructions." Shan Zhaoyang replied impatiently. Now that he had the things in hand, all he had to do was go to the meeting point.
On the other side, no problem was found, so Liu Ziyun returned to his original position and continued to rest. Not long after, he saw two people returning from patrol appearing on the tablet.
Liu Ziyun immediately stood up and strode towards the direction they came back from.
Soon, the figures of Chen Min and Li Changfu appeared within the lighting range of his combat uniform.
The two of them looked dirty, their combat uniforms were covered with an obvious layer of yellow sand, and their footsteps seemed heavy as they walked over.
They had been patrolling for a long time and must have consumed a lot of energy, but Liu Ziyun found that they were in good spirits and there were no signs of injury anywhere on their bodies.
Very good, it seems that there is no danger.
"Great, you are back."
"Have you noticed anything along the way? You shouldn't have encountered any danger, right?"
Chen Min walked in the front, a little out of breath. Faced with Liu Ziyun's question, he shook his head.
When Li Changfu heard this, he glanced at the side without any trace, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Officer Liu...we didn't find anything special, and we didn't encounter any danger."
"Thank you for your hard work. It's windy and sandy outside. Go back and rest quickly." Liu Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led the two of them back to the resting point.
The movement of the three people returning quickly attracted the attention of others. Shan Zhaoyang had been resting at the original position after getting the chip. At this time, when he saw Chen Min returning, his eyes flashed.
"Chen Min, this way, you use the tablet to monitor the surroundings, and I go out to patrol alone. This way, taking turns patrolling, we can ensure the safety of the team as much as possible..."
At the resting point, Liu Ziyun had just settled Chen Min and the two of them, and he checked the rifle and other items, as if he was going out for patrol.
However, at this moment, Shan Zhaoyang's voice intervened: "Wait a minute, Officer Liu, Cheng Zhi and I have almost rested. You all have a good rest. Let's go out on patrol instead."
Chen Min looked at Shan Zhaoyang, his expression seemed a little surprised, but he nodded.
"Yes, I also think it's better for you, Officer Liu, to stay in the team. You are the strongest among our group. If anything happens, you can protect everyone."
"this……"
"Yes, yes!" Shan Zhaoyang saw Liu Ziyun hesitating, and he quickly stepped up:
"Although Cheng Zhi is only a woman and I am not as strong as Boss Chen, we are almost rested now. It is no problem to go out for reconnaissance. As Boss Chen said, you are the strongest. If you are not in danger, Then we’re really screwed.”
"Then it's up to you and Cheng Zhi to bring your firearms and be careful on the road." Liu Ziyun thought carefully, nodded, and no longer hesitated.
"Don't worry about what you have to do." Shan Zhaoyang waved his hand, looked back at Cheng Zhi, and showed a false smile: "Miss Cheng, I will lead the way next, just follow me."
"Okay, I understand." Cheng Zhi looked as normal, nodded slowly, and answered softly.
The two passed by Liu Ziyun and the others, and Shan Zhaoyang finally showed a relaxed expression on his face.
After leaving the rock pile area, he first took Cheng Zhi out for a distance along the patrol direction.
Once he was confirmed to have left the robot's detection range, Shan Zhaoyang immediately took out the electronic board.
"Next, go this way. The landing point mentioned by the Ser Protoss is over there. Follow me."
patrol? Pooh......
Shan Zhaoyang didn't even bother to pretend, he didn't want to patrol at all, he just used the name of patrol to get out of the public eye.
Unfortunately, Liu Ziyun didn't know that there were already two defectors in the team. He was taking out the electronic board and marking it on the map.
This was not Tang Jiumin's exclusive habit, it was also his habit, but Tang Jiumin had always led the team before, and no matter how many marks he had, he never showed them in front of everyone.
At this time, their location was quite close to the Protoss base.
If you walk on foot, you can get there in less than two or three hours.
According to what the previous doctor said, if you want to leave the Edge Star, the Protoss base seems to be the last hope.
However, this was just his guess, and he had no idea what to do or how to plan.
We still need to wait for Tang Jiumin to wake up...
The only good thing was that the place they were walking to didn't have any markings on the map. It seemed to be a no-man's land, just the Gobi desert, without any buildings, without any ruins, and naturally without enemies.
"Officer Liu, Officer Liu..."
Suddenly, just as Liu Ziyun was thinking secretly, he heard someone calling his name in a low voice.
He turned around and found that at some point, Li Changfu had approached him.
Only then did Liu Ziyun realize that he was so immersed in his own thoughts that he didn't even know that Li Changfu was approaching him.
This was not a good sign, because Tang Jiumin fell into a coma, and the life and death of the entire team rested on his shoulders, so he must remain vigilant.
"How……"
Liu Ziyun subconsciously wanted to ask what was going on, but saw Li Changfu silently making a silent gesture, and then looking into the distance.
What?
He followed Li Changfu's gaze and found that Chen Min was looking into the distance.
Wait, Li Changfu is wary of Chen Min? What's going on?
At this time, Li Changfu had already sat down next to Liu Ziyun, who was full of doubts, and spoke in a low voice.
"Officer Liu, Chen Min was present just now. I can't say much. I have a situation that I must report to you."
These words clearly revealed that something was wrong.
Therefore, Liu Ziyun also asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
Li Changfu first glanced at Chen Min in the distance and found that the latter never looked back.
"We went out to patrol just now. It was fine at first and we didn't encounter any danger. We patrolled around the resting area and patrolled twice in a row."
"But in the middle, he said he wanted to make it easier and let me go first. And I circled around the resting place before I saw him again. I asked what was going on, and he said he saw something happening just now, so he went on his own Ran out to investigate.”
"Officer Liu, to tell you the truth, I have met many bosses, many of whom are ruthless businessmen. Whether this person is ruthless or not can be seen in his eyes."
"When Chen Min and I met again, his eyes looked exactly like those of those murderous gangster bosses. It was so wrong that I got goosebumps."
"You have to be careful. This person is too scheming. Captain Tang was not unconscious before. I only had a vague feeling, but now it is becoming more and more obvious."
"Officer Liu, you are kind-hearted. If this person really does something small, you have to be vigilant in advance. I, Old Li, have no other skills, but I have a very good eye for people."
After Liu Ziyun heard this, he turned to look at Chen Min. He didn't know what he was doing there.
Thinking about Chen Min's performance along the way, Liu Ziyun shook his head and looked back at Li Changfu, who looked uneasy.
"This person may have problems with his character, but only by cooperating in the trial can he survive. He also fulfilled his duties during this trial and did a very good job. Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Li Changfu was a little stunned, looking at Liu Ziyun who looked serious and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else.
But he did not continue to listen. Instead, he lowered his eyes and walked away without waiting for Liu Ziyun to say anything else.
"He...you..."
Just when Liu Ziyun wanted to continue to comfort him, he frowned when he saw Li Changfu walking away.
It's not that he doesn't understand what Li Changfu means, nor does he know Chen Min's character, but now the trial has reached the most critical moment.
If you doubt someone based on your feelings without any real evidence, your heart will wander.
But what happened to Chen Min?
With another long sigh, Liu Ziyun turned his head and looked behind him, thinking about asking him directly.
But...what about Chen Min? Wasn't he still behind you just now?
On the other side, Li Changfu left without looking back, but found a place to rest under a rock.
At this time, he felt really disappointed.
What he just said was true. He felt that there was something wrong with Chen Min at that time, but he did not have the courage to check Chen Min.
There is a clear gap between newcomers and old people.
Now that Captain Tang is unconscious, Officer Liu is the leader of the team.
At this time, Li Changfu placed his hope on Officer Liu, but reality made him understand that Liu Ziyun and Tang Jiumin were completely different people.
He is a good policeman and works hard to help everyone, but...it's not a question of whether he can help or not.
Thinking of this, Li Changfu stood up irritably, took out a cigarette and lighter from his backpack, and wanted to find a place to smoke to relieve his boredom.
However, the moment he stood up, his whole body froze, and the cigarette and lighter fell to the ground in shock.
On a rock, Yefim, who was covered in green blood, was holding the claws of the monster insect that he had torn off before, and was polishing them repeatedly.
The originally extremely sharp claws were polished into a sharp blade nearly one meter long.
But that's not what's scary.
But when he just stood up, Yefim also raised his head at the same time. Li Changfu suddenly saw the other person's eyes, which were bloodthirsty and resentful eyes, as if he was about to eat someone in the next second.
Faced with this terrifying look, Li Changfu opened his mouth in fright.
He wanted to say something to lighten the mood.
In the end, I chose to shut up.
Yefim, on the other hand, stared at Li Changfu for a while. When he saw that the other party didn't say anything, he lowered his head and focused on polishing the weapon.
But Li Changfu no longer had the desire to smoke. Looking at the other party's extremely focused look, he felt chilly in his heart.
After a while, somewhere two or three kilometers away from the rest point, Shan Zhaoyang and Cheng Zhi arrived at the landing point indicated by the electronic board.
Shan Zhaoyang glanced at the time. In ten minutes, the Ser Protoss would arrive here and take him away.
As for Cheng Zhi, he glanced at the woman behind him vaguely, his eyes cold.
It only takes one person to explain the chip...
But at this moment, Cheng Zhi's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Well, let's find a place to hide first. If those guys don't show up yet and the strange bugs show up first, we'll be doomed."
