Chapter 740 Entering the Mountain
Chapter 740 Entering the Mountain
After everyone discussed the response strategy, Haotian urgently assembled his elite troops and asked everyone to get ready. There were a total of ten people, including He Lingting and Haotian himself, a total of twelve people. Everyone was ready to go and got on two off-road vehicles and rushed into the mountains...
While everyone was preparing, He Liting quickly called Xiaomai. Xiaomai thought that since her brother had returned to the army, her uncle should be back!
Xiaomai looked at the uncle's phone number and quickly picked up the phone: "Honey, what's wrong? Are you coming back?"
"I'm not going back yet." He Lingting replied in a deep voice.
"Why? Didn't my brother go there? Are you worried that he's in danger?" Xiaomai suddenly felt uneasy.
"There's no danger. Haotian didn't get enough rest in the first two days after giving birth. I can help him a lot here." He Lingting explained. He didn't tell Xiaomai that they were going out because he didn't want Xiaomai to worry about them.
"Oh, okay. Then when can you come back? And aren't you in a hurry to go back to Sucheng?" Xiaomai asked again.
"It's hard to tell the exact time, but don't worry. With Ah San in the company, there shouldn't be any problems. These few days won't matter."
"Then you guys be careful, and be sure to tell your family if anything happens." Xiao Mai instructed, even though she knew He Lingting would not tell her even if something happened.
"Well! When we two go into the mountains to look for someone, there may be no phone signal. Don't worry if you can't contact me." He Lingting said again.
"I know."
After He Lingting finished explaining everything to Xiaomai, he watched Haotian and his men coming over, hung up the phone, and then got in the car with everyone else and headed straight into the depths of the mountains...
Although the road in the mountains was a bit muddy, the off-road vehicle was able to drive more than 100 kilometers in the mountains. If we walked on the muddy mountain road, we would have a hard time walking in a day. This undoubtedly shortened the time for everyone.
The mountain road became steeper and steeper, and the originally roadless mountain path became narrower and narrower. Off-road vehicles could not go up, so everyone took their equipment, abandoned their vehicles and started walking. They were indeed an elite force. Such a muddy mountain road was as easy as walking on flat ground for them. In order to save time, they could even run up the mountain.
Not long after they got off the bus and walked away, someone in the front shouted, "Boss, come here quickly, there are traces of people coming from here."
Haotian and He Lingting hurried over to observe the traces on the ground. Haotian squatted down and looked carefully for a while. "There are indeed footsteps. Let's follow the direction of the footsteps. The rain started two days ago. They only walked here at that time. They should have taken shelter nearby! If they keep walking at this speed, we should have a chance to catch up with them."
"Do you know how far the end of this mountain is?" He Lingting asked coldly.
"I don't know, but I know why we stayed here for a week without going out." Lu Haotian answered He Lingting.
"Well, that's really hopeful. Let's get going!" He Lingting also said.
After hearing this, the soldiers felt full of strength and moved forward quickly. He Lingting was not a member of the army. Before, the soldiers looked at his handsome face and noble temperament, and everyone was worried that he would hold them back. But after walking for a while, everyone realized that he absolutely crushed them in terms of physical strength and speed, so everyone began to speculate about He Lingting's identity.
Everyone walked and observed the surrounding environment. Soon it was noon and everyone was a little hungry. Some people took out the dry food they brought with them and were about to eat, but were stopped by Haotian. "This is just the beginning. We don't know how many days it will take to finish the journey. After all, we have limited food on us. Let's find something to eat in the mountains first!"
"Yes, Chief, do you think we should rest here and find food?" asked a soldier, who was also hungry.
"No need. Two of you continue to move forward. At three kilometers, collect firewood, make a fire, and find water. The others slow down and look for food as they walk. Wild vegetables and game are all fine." He Ting directly expressed his thoughts, and Haotian nodded in agreement, "Do as Ting says."
So everyone started to divide the work. He Liting picked up branches on the ground and made a simple slingshot. He also picked up a handful of stones. He walked while aiming at the birds on the tree. Haotian walked while digging wild vegetables. The others also followed the two of them and did their own work.
When everyone reached the place where the fire was made, they gathered the collected food together and quickly prepared it. After a while, the aroma of bird meat filled the air and the wild vegetables were all cleaned. So everyone's lunch in the mountains was finished. The soldiers wiped their mouths and snorted with satisfaction.
"Okay, we've finished eating, let's continue on our way." Haotian cleaned up the fire on the ground and said to everyone.
Then a row of soldiers in green shuttled among the flowers, plants and trees. After eating and drinking, they were still moving very fast. Everyone moved forward quickly. Occasionally, someone would solve physiological problems, but it would not delay their journey.
Haotian and He Lingting chatted as they walked: "Ting, have you told my little sister?"
"Yeah!" He Lingting replied coldly.
"He must be very worried! I haven't even told Youyou." Haotian said.
"She doesn't look for you?"
"Of course I did, but she also knows that I'm a soldier and she's a military wife, and we're often apart from each other. So when I'm on a mission, she seldom calls. She's worried about disturbing me while I'm doing my work. Let me find you, little sister!" Haotian said, with helplessness in his tone. Sometimes he thought that he had really neglected Youyou.
"Yeah! She always misses me." When mentioning Xiaomai, the cold and hard lines on He Lingting's face instantly softened. He didn't know what his baby was doing at the moment.
"Go away and stop showing off here. What's so good about your one-man show? It seems like you can't live without my little sister." Lu Haotian said sourly with a pout.
He Liting looked at Haotian, who was complaining that the grapes were sour because he couldn't eat them, and ignored him, but continued walking forward.
He Lingting had just taken a few steps when he accidentally saw some symbols on the trunk of the big tree next to him. "Haotian, look, what is this?"
After hearing what He Lingting said, Lu Haotian hurried over, took a closer look, and then said seriously: "It seems that there is something wrong inside them."
