Xu Youzhi's statement seems to have some fantasy color. Gu Chen felt that Xu Youzhi was lost in the mountains, so he caused a certain panic, so he didn't take it seriously.
But the most important thing now is to find Hu Peng's whereabouts.
Since Xu Youzhi had admitted before that the peanut shells on the ground were left by Hu Peng, Gu Chen can now conclude that Hu Peng seems to be not far away.
Perhaps catching up with Hu Peng is only a matter of time.
"Let's go." Gu Chen adjusted the marching bag and reminded Xu Youzhi to continue leading the way.
Because the mountain road at this moment has become a bamboo forest, and there is no obvious road in the bamboo forest.
And Xu Youzhi was just walking along the rocks that the stream passed through, so Gu Chen asked him:
"The way up the mountain here is this stream?"
"Uh, not all of them." Xu Youzhi, who was walking ahead to explore the way, suddenly stopped when Gu Chen mentioned it suddenly.
After thinking for a few seconds, Xu Youzhi finally said: "Because this stream flows down from a fork in the mountain, and there is usually no way up the mountain."
"Because it is the dry season now, the road where the stream flows will not wet your shoes, so from here, you can save a lot of time along the stream all the way up."
After a pause, Xu Youzhi glanced at a bamboo forest not far away, and said:
"Otherwise, if there is a heavy rain, the stream here will suddenly rise. Unless we wear waterproof shoes, we will have to go through the bamboo forest at the other end."
Pointing to the bamboo forest in front, Xu Youzhi said again: "Look at that, the road over there is not easy to walk at all, it's still rough."
"So, we are taking the sidewalk now, the road is easier to walk, and, along this stream path, we will not get lost."
"Understood." After hearing Xu Youzhi's explanation, Gu Chen figured out the general reason.
It can be seen that if people pass by on the mountain road, the road does not exist, and the road has to be walked out by people.
Thinking that the follow-up troops would also come up from here later, Gu Chen simply took out a red rope and began to tie it at a conspicuous place.
Afterwards, Gu Chen still took out the police dagger and carved a mark on the bamboo pole with one stroke.
After completing the operation, Gu Chen continued to follow Xu Youzhi, and began to shuttle continuously among the streams and bamboo forests.
After passing a long rocky road, this time Xu Youzhi didn't run along the stream, but walked towards another fork.
The trails here, seem to have partially bare dirt, with weeds on both sides.
And the path seems to have been walked by people, so there are obvious traces.
After making a mark here, Gu Chen followed Xu Youzhi and walked towards a bamboo forest.
At this moment, the tall bamboo forest was so quiet that Gu Chen couldn't even hear the birdsong in it.
And the movement of the stream seemed to be disappearing gradually, everything seemed too quiet, only the movement of himself and Xu Youzhi rubbing against the weeds.
Gu Chen frowned, and reminded Xu Youzhi who opened the way ahead: "Xu Youzhi, wait a minute."
"What's the matter?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Xu Youzhi suddenly stopped and turned to ask Gu Chen.
"Why is it so quiet here? I feel something is wrong." Gu Chen expressed his concerns.
Even if I am in the deep mountains and old forests, I can hear some insects and birds, but everything seems too quiet here.
Xu Youzhi looked around, and quickly reminded Gu Chen, "Officer Gu, we have to leave quickly. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. This is the place I told you before, where it's easy to get lost."
"Before it's dark, you have to get out of here quickly."
Hearing Xu Youzhi's words, Gu Chen also slowly said: "If this place is really what you said, then our follow-up personnel coming here may be dangerous, and we must make enough marks here."
Gu Chen thought that the follow-up personnel would also pass by here, so he took out the mechanical baton, started to shake off some weeds on the side of the road, and started to mark the vicinity frequently.
Seeing Gu Chen stop, Xu Youzhi couldn't help urging him impatiently: "Officer Gu, hurry up, we have to hurry up, this place is really not suitable for staying for a long time."
"What are you afraid of? There are only the two of us here. Could it be that there are beasts?" Gu Chen felt that Xu Youzhi seemed to be too worried.
If it is said that a bamboo forest can make Xu Youzhi mess up, Gu Chen feels that Xu Youzhi seems to have a ghost in his heart.
Gu Chen couldn't do such a thing if he kept his teammates in danger.
The only thing he can do now is to ensure that his teammates do not get lost in this bamboo forest.
To be honest, Gu Chen also discovered that this bamboo forest is not the main road, and if you want to pass through this bamboo forest, you really need a little direction discrimination.
Therefore, Gu Chen must make one of the red ropes appear within the line of sight of the other red rope.
Only in this way, everyone's direction is safe.
"Swish, swish!"
As Gu Chen moved forward, he didn't know how many marks to engrave.
Looking up at this moment, but there was no trace of Xu Youzhi, Gu Chen couldn't help but frowned, and shouted, "Xu Youzhi, Xu Youzhi?"
He called twice, but Xu Youzhi was not called.
The surrounding weeds also covered Gu Chen's waist, and it seemed extremely difficult to find someone at this time.
Based on Xu Youzhi's footsteps and the direction of the surrounding weeds, Gu Chen started to quicken his pace.
"Xu Youzhi, Xu Youzhi? Where are you?"
Gu Chen called while walking, but Xu Youzhi didn't seem to respond.
Gu Chen suddenly had an ominous premonition, wondering if Xu Youzhi had already discovered Hu Peng?
And use the vegetation here as a cover to deliberately get rid of yourself?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen suddenly became vigilant, began to hold the mechanical baton in his hand, and slowly searched the area ahead.
"Swish, swish!"
There was another rush through the jungle, Gu Chen shouted to the surroundings: "Xu Youzhi, Xu Youzhi, you are..."
"thump!"
At the same time that Gu Chen called Xu Youzhi, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and his whole body instantly lost its balance and sank.
Gu Chen instantly felt that there was no support under his feet, his body lost his center of gravity instantly, his whole body rolled continuously, and fell directly towards a depression.
Since Gu Chen casually started grabbing the surrounding plants as a buffer, the rolling speed was eased.
But when Gu Chen felt that he fell out of the weeds, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that what appeared in front of him seemed to be a cliff.
Fortunately, Gu Chen had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly used his hands to try to grab all the vegetation along the way.
While tearing off several weeds in a row, Gu Chen finally stabilized his footing at the corner of the cliff.
At this moment, Gu Chen only felt that his legs were hanging in the air, and only his hands were still firmly grasping a few life-saving straws.
However, a few life-saving weeds could hardly support Gu Chen's weight.
Seeing that the roots of the weeds were about to be lifted up by Gu Chen's weight, Gu Chen instantly used the strength of his waist and abdomen to push upwards.
Climb continuously with both hands.
However, since Gu Chen's body is suspended in the air at this moment, it is also difficult for Gu Chen's hands to grasp solid objects.
Therefore, Gu Chen could only grab a few life-saving weeds with his left hand, and lay down on the edge of the cliff with his right hand to reduce the deadly pressure on the weeds caused by his weight.
With both feet hanging in the air, Gu Chen dared not slack off in the slightest.
After a few seconds, Gu Chen stabilized his mood and started to look behind him. Only then did he realize in horror that he was at the edge of a cliff with a huge drop.
Since Gu Chen's position is a chamfered position on the edge of the cliff, there is no support for his legs.
Gu Chen broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that he couldn't exert all his strength.
Even if he wanted to use his strength, he couldn't do anything, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly came to his mind.
"Is it necessary to explain here today?" Gu Chen thought in his heart, feeling that his step just now was too careless.
But now, Xu Youzhi also disappeared.
Thinking of the figure of Xu Youzhi just now, who was still in front of him just now, but suddenly disappeared.
Gu Chen suddenly felt, could it be that Xu Youzhi also fell from here?
"Damn it." Gu Chen took a deep breath, feeling that the soil on the edge of the cliff began to crack due to his own weight.
Gu Chen knew that if he didn't take decisive action, once the mud on the edge of the cliff couldn't bear the pressure brought by his own weight, it would collapse directly.
At that time, he will fall directly off the cliff.
Thinking that he is now at a critical moment of narrow escape, Gu Chen can only call out to Xu Youzhi again:
"Xu Youzhi, where are you, Xu Youzhi?"
Because Gu Chen didn't dare to use too much force, he was afraid of tearing the last straw, so his voice was weak.
However, Gu Chen soon realized that his cry for help seemed to be futile.
The whole area seems to be alone now.
Looking at a thick bamboo not far in front of him, Gu Chen regretted that he didn't carry a rope.
He thought that if he had a rope in his hand, he might be able to use it to save his life, but it was too late to say anything now.
Gu Chen seemed to have felt that sense of powerlessness.
Even though he is the climbing champion of the police academy, when faced with no support, the only thing Gu Chen can use is his strong arms.
Only relying on the strength of his arms, he barely let himself hang on the edge of the cliff.
Some soil was loosened and rolled down to the bottom of the cliff.
Listening to the sound of the fall, Gu Chenguang could already calculate that once he fell off the cliff, he would be crushed to pieces.
If you don't die, you have to lose half your life.
"Swish, swish!"
At the same time when Gu Chen was almost desperate, Gu Chen suddenly heard, not far away, there seemed to be a movement of weeds rubbing against each other, as if something was beginning to move closer to him.
Not long after, a little hare suddenly appeared in front of Gu Chen.
Looking at Gu Chen lying on the edge of the cliff, the little hare didn't seem to have any intention of being afraid.
The reason is very simple, the current Gu Chen seems to be unable to cause any harm to it.
Gu Chen and the hare looked at each other, and gradually, due to physical exhaustion, their consciousness began to blur.
But Gu Chen still uses energy drinks to keep himself in a state of continuous physical strength.
But I don't know how long it has been? When Gu Chen opened his eyes again, the hare in front of him had disappeared, and the face that appeared instead was Xu Youzhi.
Xu Youzhi looked at Gu Chen with a surprised face, and it seemed that he was also surprised.
Gu Chen's eyes lit up, and then he said weakly: "Xu Youzhi, quickly pull me up."
"This..." Xu Youzhi stepped back suddenly after a few seconds.
Due to severe physical exhaustion, Gu Chen's vision has long been blurred by sweat.
Seeing that Xu Youzhi had already found himself, but refused to save him, and started to retreat to the rear, Gu Chen's distrust of Xu Youzhi began to gradually show.
"Sure enough, this guy has a problem. He lied to me to come here, but suddenly disappeared, playing missing."
"He also wants to use me to find him, and lure me to this extremely secretive cliff."
"It's hard for a normal person to find this place, but it's actually a cliff land."
"The surrounding weeds are lush, and they all grow on the edge of the cliff. If you are not careful, you may step on the air and fall into the cliff."
"Fortunately, I used my endurance just now to maintain the status quo. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid I would have fallen to the cliff and died."
Thinking about this, and seeing Xu Youzhi's gradually receding figure, Gu Chen felt unwilling, and felt that he might really have to confess to this point today.
The surroundings became quiet again. Gu Chen, who felt that he had been duped, seemed to be using his last bit of strength, thinking about falling off the cliff later, is there any possibility of surviving?
But at the same time when Gu Chen's consciousness gradually became blurred, Gu Chen suddenly found that there was a rustling sound coming from his side again.
Soon, a thick branch appeared directly in front of him.
"Officer Gu."
When Gu Chen opened his eyes, he found that Xu Youzhi was staying at the other end, holding a branch to remind him:
"Grab the branch quickly, and I will pull you up."
Gu Chen took a deep breath, feeling that this guy had a bit of conscience, at least he didn't kill them all.
Looking at the thick branches in front of him, Gu Chen felt that he had grasped the last straw.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen grabbed a few weeds that were almost broken with his left hand, and began to exert strength with his right hand. Using the coordination of his body, he quickly grabbed the branch that Xu Youzhi handed over.
At this moment Xu Youzhi also began to exert strength, constantly pulling towards the rear.
Due to an instant pulling force, Gu Chen began to gradually take the initiative.
Both hands began to exert force quickly, and quickly climbed towards the top of the cliff.
But when Gu Chen felt that his body had been supported, the surrounding soil began to loosen and fall continuously.
Gu Chen took a deep breath, and using Xu Youzhi's pull, began to move his body up and down.
Soon, the two cooperated tacitly, and Gu Chen's body began to hang in the air with his hands, and finally began to climb up.
But just as Gu Chen was about to come up, Xu Youzhi smiled strangely at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's eyes froze, and he instantly felt something was wrong.
But at the moment when Gu Chen hesitated, Xu Youzhi suddenly let go of his hands, Gu Chen felt that he lost his support, and his whole body began to fall backwards.
