When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 192 Dad knows where the Blue Army's command post is!

The sounds of cars on the national highway gradually faded into the distance, but the chirping of insects and the croaking of frogs became clearer.

Guo Yuanshuai and his three companions walked through a forest of chestnut trees, each about waist-thick, and continued upwards along the contours of the mountain.

Just now at the foot of the mountain, the four of them observed the intersection where the Blue Army had set up a checkpoint for a while. Sure enough, any vehicle was stopped by them, and some were even turned back.

This gave Guo Yuanshuai the feeling that the Blue Army's command post might actually be located in these mountains.

The woods weren't very dense, and the moonlight filtering through the gaps above provided enough brightness that there was no need to turn on a flashlight.

"Ah!"

Niu San, who was walking at the front, sneezed first and cursed, "Holy crap! What's that smell in here? Are there a thousand people masturbating in here?"

Li Dongshui frowned and pulled the headscarf up to cover her mouth and nose.

Xu Ge sniffed, and an extremely strong, strange, fishy and astringent smell rushed into his nasal cavity, almost choking him.

No wonder Niu San said that; this smell... is indeed very sinister.

Looking up, one can see that the century-old chestnut trees are covered with long, pale yellow flowers.

Guo Yuanshuai casually plucked a flower, sniffed it, and laughed, "Don't mind the smell. Chestnut flowers are a good medicine and can also repel mosquitoes. Has anyone been bitten by mosquitoes after walking for so long?"

"Huh? It really is!"

Niu Sanxian looked surprised. "I was wondering why it was so comfortable walking tonight. There wasn't a single mosquito!"

Early summer is the season when mosquitoes are rampant, especially in the mountains and forests.

Surprisingly, there were no mosquitoes in this chestnut grove.

The smell immediately disappeared for everyone.

After walking for almost an hour, Li Dongshui, who was in charge of communication, suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He took it out, glanced at it, and said:

"Squad leader, Su Liujun and his team encountered a forest ranger's house in the mountains. The lights were still on inside. He asked if we should ask the villagers for information."

"no!"

Guo Yuanshuai immediately shook his head, "This is Blue Army territory. Don't expose yourselves without getting anything out of them, and make sure their whereabouts aren't discovered by the locals!"

"Yes!"

According to the location markers sent back by another group of four, they were clearly moving faster than this group.

Unfortunately, Guo Yuanshuai already had a back injury, which is why the patrol routes he and his three colleagues were responsible for were shorter.

Guo Yuanshuai had already missed one physiotherapy session since he came to the training camp. Last time, before Lin Wan left, she left him some plasters.

Xu Ge and the veterans were initially against the reconnaissance mission, but after the squad leader made a phone call to the brigade commander, he eventually led the team over himself.

After 1 a.m., Niu Sanxian looked at Guo Yuanshuai's face and suggested that they rest where they were.

We had already passed two hills, but had not yet made any discoveries.

Guo Yuanshuai did not refuse and suggested that everyone could eat some dry food to replenish their energy.

As soon as Xu Ge sat down, he started yawning. When he saw the squad leader glance at him, he immediately picked a chestnut flower and took a few deep sniffs. The strong, fishy smell instantly woke him up.

Li Dongshui took off his Type 201 high-precision sniper rifle and put it aside, then chuckled and pulled a round, sweet melon out of his waist bag.

Guo Yuanshuai was both amused and exasperated: "Damn it... You're really carefree. Didn't I tell you all to leave the melons in the van?"

"I secretly hid the smallest one, squad leader. I've never eaten this before, do you want to try it?" Li Dongshui began to whine.

Without saying a word, Xu Ge pulled out his claw knife and cut the melon into four pieces. Then he started munching on it, swallowing the seeds whole without even spitting them out.

Li Dongshui looked disgusted: "If you eat like this, these melon seeds will..."

"Shut up! Are you going to eat it or not? If not, give me your piece too!"

Li Dongshui stopped talking and focused on eating the melon.

Xu Ge took the map from Guo Yuanshuai's waist and looked at the four people's current location: "Squad leader, at our speed, we probably won't be able to finish in one night."

"Then tomorrow we'll only sleep for half a day and continue to speed up our pace in the afternoon."

"What if we search this entire mountain area and still can't find the Blue Army's command post?"

Guo Yuanshuai wiped his hands: "Then let's continue to the county town, to Sanlihe, and to the east towards Ruyang. No matter what, we must find them as soon as possible!"

. . .

. . .

The four of them spent the entire night traversing this vast chestnut ecological area, eating, drinking, and relieving themselves in the mountains.

By early morning, everyone was so tired that they didn't even want to talk.

The birds chirped and chattered in the trees, seemingly mocking the futile efforts of the people below.

Finding the command post is different from finding a person. If it's nearby, you can spot the activity from a great distance.

According to another group of people, the eight of them have already explored more than half of the mountainous area, but have not yet found any clues.

By this time, everyone had a vague idea that the Blue Team's command post might not be here.

The four of them were soaked with dew, and their clothes clung to their bodies, making them extremely uncomfortable.

Even so, when Guo Yuanshuai found a suitable place to rest and indicated that they could take turns resting, Xu Ge fell asleep in a second.

Guo Yuanshuai had already guessed that Xu Ge probably hadn't slept yesterday afternoon, so he assigned Xu Ge to the last shift.

Therefore, when Xu Ge was woken up by Niu Sanxian, it was already noon.

The clothes on my body had dried naturally, and the glaring sunlight pierced through the branches, making my eyes water.

"Wake everyone up at two o'clock."

Niu San said something first, then yawned and lay down under the tree.

Xu Ge had a good night's sleep and felt full of energy. He immediately started moving around while wandering around.

Last night's nearly ten-hour march through the mountains was indeed tiring, but compared to the Northwest Plateau, the intensity was significantly less.

As the sun continues to shine, the moisture on the ground begins to evaporate, and as the temperature in the forest rises, the aroma of chestnut blossoms becomes even stronger, carried by the water vapor.

Xu Ge took out his phone and checked the group messages. Su Liujun and the other three had almost finished the other part of the route and were asking about the situation here.

Xu Ge replied to a few messages on his phone. As his eyes gradually adjusted to the light in the forest, he suddenly felt something flicker in his peripheral vision to his left.

At first, he thought it was just the wind blowing the leaves, but after looking closely for a while, his expression changed drastically. He quickly moved towards the place where the other three were resting, using the chestnut tree as cover.

About 70 or 80 meters away, two figures in military uniforms were walking this way through the woods!
Fortunately, although the chestnut forest was not very dense, it was difficult to see clearly from a distance, and the two people did not notice Xu Ge just now.

This made his heart pound; the implications of discovering the Blue Team here were self-evident.

Xu Ge quickly arrived at the base of the large tree where the three of them were and gently patted them on the shoulder.

"Shhh!!!"

"Someone!"

Guo Yuanshuai was the first to react, and he quickly covered Li Dongshui's mouth before she could speak.

Niu Sanxian instinctively hid behind a tree and whispered, "Where? How many people?"

Xu Ge pointed: "50 meters away, two people, wearing military uniforms!"

"Quick, scatter! Pick up the trash on the ground!" Guo Yuanshuai immediately realized what this meant. "Everyone, stay far away, don't let them spot you!"

The four quickly dispersed, each hiding behind a large tree.

Now we can only hope that these two don't pass by the place where the four of them rested, otherwise, if the other side has experienced scouts, they are very likely to discover the traces on the ground.

This would inevitably alert the other side, eliminating the possibility of following them to find the Blue Army's command post.

Under the tense gaze of the four people, the two figures drew closer and closer.

Xu Ge had already heard the footsteps of the two men. He quietly peeked out and saw that both of them were fully armed, with their faces covered by headscarves. The shorter of the two men had a strangely shaped large gun on his back.

Ok?
Xu Ge was stunned when he saw the gun. After carefully examining the two men's postures, he couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

To my surprise, I ran into Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong here!
Not far away, the two people had also arrived at the place where the four had been resting.

It has to be said that these two guys are indeed elites who can participate in the Hidden Wolf selection. They discovered the traces left on the ground almost immediately and then hid behind a tree in an instant.

On the other side, Guo Yuanshuai was still gesturing for Niu San to prepare to flank from the side when Xu Ge walked out casually.

"What are you two doing here?"

As soon as Xu Ge's voice came out, Li Dongshui, who had just picked up the stone, froze on the spot, and Guo Yuanshuai and Niu Sanxian, who were reaching behind the tree, also stopped.

"Holy crap! Xu Ge?!"

Ao Xiang immediately emerged from behind the tree, casually holstering a military dagger at his waist, while Wu Xiaoyong also threw away the short stick in his hand.

"Fuck!"

"What the hell?"

The woods were in complete disbelief; no one expected to run into them here.

"I knew you guys would be in one of the six reconnaissance teams this time!" Ao Xiang grinned. "But I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, hahaha!"

Guo Yuanshuai walked over: "How did you find this place?"

Ao Xiang: "We first made our way to the vicinity of the county town. Xiao Yong bought a radio, modified it, and then listened to the Blue Army all night. We deduced that this was one of the possible locations of the enemy's command post, so we came here to try our luck."

Guo Yuanshuai looked at Wu Xiaoyong in surprise: "Buddy, you have this skill too?"

Wu Xiaoyong smiled and said, "We received special training in our special reconnaissance company before, and I also like to study these things in my spare time."

"Then why are there only the two of you? Where are the others?"

"The Blue Army's patrols in the county town are very thorough. The others have been arrested while trying to cover for us!"

"How long have you been wandering around in the mountains?"

"Most of a day!"

Guo Yuanshuai took out a map: "Show me which locations you've been to."

Ao Xiang held out his hand: "We'll enter the mountains from here, and then follow... wait, that's the line you drew!"

Everyone looked at each other.

The route that Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong took was the same route that Xu Ge and the other three were planning to take next.

"You didn't find anything?" Guo Yuanshuai asked.

Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong shook their heads.

"Dry!"

Niu San cursed first, then looked at Guo Yuanshuai: "Squad leader, what do we do now?"

This confirms that the Blue Team's command post is not located in this mountain range.

Guo Yuanshuai asked, "Where are Su Liujun and the others?"

Xu Ge: "They've already completed the route and are heading this way."

"Have them meet up at the foot of the mountain!"

Guo Yuanshuai looked at Xu Ge, "Ge Bao, we'll have to trouble your dad again. We need to go to the county town or the east."

"no problem!"

Xu Ge took out his phone and called his dad, who answered almost instantly.

"Hahaha, I knew you guys would need me, Old Xu, to step in!" Xu Zhijun was incredibly excited on the phone. "Wait here, I'll be there in half an hour!"

Since they had run into each other, Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong naturally followed the group from Class 9.

The group started walking down the mountain, heading to the entrance of the ecological park from the previous night.

After meeting up with Su Liujun and the other three at the foot of the mountain, Xu Ge did not see Xu Zhijun and the van, so he took out his phone and made another call.

"Dad, where are you?"

"Hahaha! Little Ge, I know where the Blue Team's command post is!"

Everyone was taken aback, and Xu Ge quickly asked, "Where?"

"It's inside the armed forces department in the county seat!" Xu Zhijun said excitedly, his tone certain.

Xu Ge was taken aback: "Dad, how did you know?"

“On my way here, I saw two soldiers walking on the road, so I deliberately stopped and asked them where they were going and if they needed a ride. They said they were going to the station, but I said it was on my way even though it wasn’t, and let them get in the car.”

Xu Zhijun said, "Son, do you know why your dad did this? Let me tell you, this is what a seasoned veteran detective does..."

"Dad, just get to the point!" Xu Ge said urgently.

"Alright, alright! Get to the point!" Xu Zhijun's voice sounded very excited. "On the way here, I deliberately chatted with those two soldiers to get information out of them, and I didn't expect to actually find out the location of their command post!"

"Son! Isn't Dad awesome!"

"Great!"

"Okay, I'm almost there. Let's talk when we meet!"

After hanging up the phone, everyone was stunned.

"Holy crap? We've been exhausted from searching the mountains all night and haven't even caught a whiff of the Blue Army, and Xu just drove off and found the command post in the wind?" Niu Sanxian felt that happiness had come too suddenly.

Ao Xiang clicked his tongue in amazement: "The Blue Army really knows how to pick a location for the armed forces department in the county town!"

Xu Ge looked at Guo Yuanshuai: "Squad leader, shall we report to the regimental commander immediately?"

"No rush, the exercise won't start until midnight tonight," Guo Yuanshuai said in a deep voice. "Let's go to the county town to confirm first."

"it is good!"

The group continued to wait in place.

About ten minutes later, a van drove in from the dirt road and honked its horn a few times.

"Brothers, get in the car! Hahaha!" Xu Zhijun looked like a victorious veteran.

Xu Ge, both amused and exasperated, opened the passenger door: "Dad, why are you calling me 'brother'? We're not even in the same generation... Hmm? That's not right!"

Upon smelling the odor emanating from the passenger seat, Xu Ge's expression suddenly changed: "We can't go to the county town!"
