All the way to the canyon, I ran with all my strength and looked in all directions.
Along the way, Han Qingyu and the others did not encounter the violent and scattered Dajian group mentioned by Qin Guowen. At least they didn't encounter large-scale ones. Occasionally they encountered a few scattered ones, but the number was not large, and they had no intention of cleaning them up.
In fact, what happened last night was that when the Dajian group in that valley broke out in a riot, soon the Dajian groups in the other two valleys were also involved.
The second detachment of the officer corps where Mira belonged was subsequently pursued by the Dajian group.
Because both Mira and Alexei were injured, they had no choice but to retreat to the southwest. They first entered the Indian territory, contacted the local front army for support, and then detoured from the battlefield.
As for Liu Shiheng... he was still walking alone. Da Jian didn't chase him, so he didn't know anything.
"arrive."
The figure who was running fast in armor stopped at a high point on the hillside, said something, and turned back.
People stand on the hillside facing the canyon and look down. The mountain looks like a crack and the mouth of the valley is narrow. It was almost noon, but because it was cloudy, the fog in the canyon had not completely dissipated.
At the same time, there was no sound, and the entire canyon was extremely quiet and even deeper.
This made the four of them feel a little nervous and uneasy.
However, what we have to face eventually... Han Qingyu said, "Go down and have a look."
After walking down the hillside for about a hundred meters from the mouth of the valley, blood began to appear on the ground. Bloody water floated on the muddy water.
The further we walked in, the more blood stains appeared in the mud puddles with messy footprints.
"If we followed what they said and started the attack from the middle, then Tangtang... should have continued to attack here."
She is a girl after all, and Shen Yixiu's voice started to choke when she spoke.
There is still quite a distance from the middle of the canyon, and this should be the final battlefield. Shen Yixiu raised her head and pointed at the traces of blades on the rock walls on both sides, as well as the scattered gravel on the ground.
This feels bad. They were all too familiar with the battle. Just through the traces left behind, they could roughly see what He Tangtang was like at that time, fighting alone.
Even those images will automatically appear in their minds.
"Look for it." Han Qingyu's voice was hoarse.
"good."
The four of them searched the area thoroughly and carefully. There are many traces of the battle left at the scene, and they are obvious. Only the part on the ground partially covered up the traces due to the natural flow of mud and water.
However, only two bodies were eventually found.
Two of them had black faces and were not wearing military uniforms.
"Judging from the traces of the fight, there should be more than this casualty. The bodies that may be afraid of exposing evidence and clues have been taken away. The remaining ones are not afraid of investigation."
While Wen Jifei was speaking, he bent down to pick up a dozen blue combat knives gathered together on the ground. He wiped off the mud on the surface of the blades one by one and read the inscription numbers on them. Then, at a sudden moment, his whole body froze...the hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
"It's a dignified sword." Wen Jifei said.
"..."
Han Qingyu came over, took a look, and was stunned.
"It's okay. Help him put it away first...it's okay if he doesn't find the epee. It's his most precious one."
"No, everything will be fine until the body is found."
The word "corpse" made Han Qingyu feel a little uncomfortable.
He Tangtang was not a person who could be captured.
With great uneasiness, the four people continued to move forward, searching the entire canyon, and then looked back again... In the end, the surrounding area of more than ten miles was carefully searched twice.
No, He Tangtang's heavy sword and body were never found.
In fact, I would unconsciously think: "Could he have been taken away by the enemy?"
They had seen the footsteps left by the enemy's retreat, and logically, they could not find a reason for He Tangtang to survive.
However, their inner psychological tendencies will automatically and proactively help them cut off such thinking.
At this time, the sky had begun to darken, and they had been searching all afternoon... Han Qingyu stood on a hillside, looked back, tried his best to smile, and said:
"Not dead! Tangtang is still alive."
He Tangtang is the kind of ruthless person who can trade swords with others. But he has always calculated well and will not let himself get hurt.
"Well, that guy is such a thief. As the old saying goes, thieves are sinister and ruthless, and they are talking about people like him." Wen Jifei agreed, "So, he must still be alive."
Xi Mei and Wu Shi both nodded, "Yeah."
"What about us now?" Wen Jifei asked.
"Keep looking, not only Tangtang, but also Shiheng, until we find him." Even if he traveled across the entire plateau, he thought.
"Okay." Wen Jifei and the other three nodded vigorously.
Han Qingyu's eyes hesitated for a moment.
"If we wander around like this, the other party's people will definitely come after them if they find out... Just in time, we can inquire about the situation, and then kill those who can. But there is one thing to note. I heard from Captain Qin that Shi Heng saw it The suspected superman has a white face, about forty years old, very tall, and carries a medieval knight's sword."
Having said this, he raised his head and cast his eyes on Wu Shi and Xi Mei. At the same time, he handed them the map that Lao Jian had used... Waiting for Xi Mei to take it, he continued:
"Remember, if you encounter him, you two will run. You can run away."
There are no clues or directions on such a large plateau. It would be too inefficient for four people to search together. Considering that if He Tangtang really escaped alive, he would definitely be seriously injured and couldn't afford to be dragged away... They had to separate.
As for the grouping, there isn’t much to think about, just Wu Shi and Xi Mei will be in a group, and Han Qingyu himself will be in a group with Wen Jifei.
"Do you remember?" Han Qingyu asked.
"Yeah, remember."
Xi Mei responded and nodded.
Then Wu Shi also nodded.
"Don't be so depressed, you guys. Shouldn't you be happy if you can't find it?" Wen Jifei grinned and calmed the atmosphere and said, "Sister Xi."
Shen Yixiu turned around, "Huh?"
"Don't be so petty that you leave Wu Shi on the grassland."
Wu Shi's eyes panicked.
Shen Yixiu: "Yeah."
All three of them laughed.
"Then, you two choose a direction to set off first. If you can't find it, find another way to go back." Han Qingyu divided some food and supplies, handed them to Wu Shi and said at the same time.
Wu Shi took the bag and put it on his back. He raised his head and looked around, waiting for Shen Yixiu to say where to go.
In the current situation, there are no reliable clues for finding people, so they can really choose the direction they want to search at will.
And the options are far more than just southeast, northwest, and east. When looking for people in such a large area, any difference in starting point will eventually form a completely different search route.
Thinking of this, Han Qingyu suddenly had a thought in his mind and said, "Why don't you just let Wu Shi choose? Choose one for you, and choose one for me and the plague chicken."
Wu Shi's eyes were confused, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Choose, they're all the same." Wen Jifei said with a smile.
"Oh." Wu Shi understood, nodded, then raised his head and turned around... he actually pointed in a direction and said, "Then you go that way."
"..." Han Qingyu and Xi Mei looked at each other helplessly.
Wen Jifei was completely annoyed... he leaned down and said, "That's the direction we came from just now. Not even the angle is off."
…………
Wu Shi helped Han Qingyu and Wen Jifei choose a direction again.
Then he randomly chose one for himself and Sister Xi.
"gone."
Seeing Wu Shi and Xi Mei disappear behind a low mountain, Han Qingyu turned around, patted Wen Jifei on the shoulder, stepped forward, and said at the same time:
"If you meet that suspected super, you..."
"Don't worry, I understand." Wen Jifei laughed and said, "In terms of decisive escape, when have I ever made a mistake?!"
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take you with me."
"What about you? If you really can't cut it, you..."
"I will run first." Han Qingyu lowered his head and walked a few steps, then suddenly reached out, touched Wen Jifei's arm with the back of his hand, and said, "Give me a cigarette."
This was the first time Qingzi asked for a cigarette. Wen Jifei turned around to look, gave him the cigarette, and helped light it.
Then he lit one himself and held it in his mouth.
The two men continued walking forward, one carrying a long black wooden box and the other carrying a Mira 9 sniper rifle.
Plateau night.
Sparks flicker.
