Chapter 257 Separate, Flank Behind!
"What the hell are you doing..."

boom!
Before Xu Ge could finish speaking, an explosion suddenly occurred at the location indicated by the arrow.

Fortunately, both of them had already retreated some distance down the mountain, so they were not affected.

"Damn! What's this? Has Hawkeye arrived?" Xu Ge's face turned ugly.

Based on the shockwave of the explosion, he estimated that its power was roughly equivalent to that of a hand grenade.

If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been either killed or severely maimed on the spot!

"It's Luna! Holy crap! Such a professional arrow!" Wan Xiaofei was also taken aback.

Xu Ge: ...

What the hell is Luna?!
He finally realized what was strange about this guy.

Xu Ge had sensed something was off when Wan Xiaofei was explaining the action plan, and now it seems he's following the game's logic exactly.

"Do you know this kind of arrow?" Xu Ge asked.

Wan Xiaofei nodded: "It's not cheap to build, most people can't afford it..."

Buzzing!

Seeing that Wan Xiaofei hadn't heard the sound of wind breaking and was still talking, Xu Ge suddenly shoved him: "Get out of the way, they're coming again!"

"Hold!"

The two continued running to the side.

Whoosh!
boom!
A black arrow shot out and landed where Xu Ge had been standing, followed by an explosion.

Xu Ge cursed as he ran, "Why the hell did they only shoot me?!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Xiaofei suddenly shouted, "Run this way, follow me, quick!"

After saying that, he immediately ran straight down the mountain.

A little over a minute later, the two stopped behind a rock halfway up the mountain. Wan Xiaofei, panting heavily, signaled that they could stop.

"The maximum range of a compound bow is over 400 meters. Luna is shooting upwards, and with the weight of the arrowhead, she'll be lucky to shoot 200 meters. This distance is safe for us!"

Wan Xiaofei calmed his breathing and looked at Xu Ge, "You were able to know in advance that the arrows were coming?"

"There is a sound, but the speed of an arrow is not as fast as the speed of sound," Xu Ge explained casually.

Wan Xiaofei: ? ? ?

"How come I didn't hear that?" Wan Xiaofei picked at his ear with his finger.

Xu Ge didn't want to continue the topic and asked, "Don't you know about this kind of bow and arrow? Can it automatically track its target? Do you know why it's only shooting at me?"

“These arrows are expensive, and they can indeed correct themselves in mid-air… Oh, right, take a look at the soles of your shoes!” Wan Xiaofei suddenly remembered something.

Xu Ge was taken aback. He looked down, lifted his leg, and flipped the sole of his shoe over. A small metal ball, about the size of a mung bean, was stuck to the sole of his left shoe.

"What is this? A locator?"

He didn't even know when he stepped on it.

Just as he was about to reach out to take the thing off, Wan Xiaofei quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't move it yet, just let it stick to your shoe!"

"What do you mean? So you're only going to bomb me and not me, huh?"

Xu Ge's face darkened. "Do you know that with this thing on my foot, the enemy can track my location at any time?"

Wan Xiaofei: "That's exactly how it should be! Let's pretend we don't know anything and continue following her, find a way to lure Luna away, and take her down one by one!"

"Come on, stretch out your feet, I'll put this stuff on your feet."

"I can't; I can't dodge the arrows that come at me."

"You son of a bitch..."

Seeing the other person's matter-of-fact expression, Xu Ge was so angry he laughed. "Well, if you're that close, nobody can avoid it, okay?!"

He was speechless. Even at this point, this guy was still thinking about launching a fierce attack.

"We're definitely not sending you to your death. We'll stay outside the enemy's maximum firing range."

"What if they have guns?"

"They probably didn't bring rifles; pistols don't even have the range of a compound bow."

Wan Xiaofei took out his phone and glanced at it, saying with some disappointment, "No signal. Otherwise, we could have split up, which would have increased our chances of success!"

Seeing that the other party had not given up on the original plan, Xu Ge didn't hesitate: "Let's chase after them and see what the situation is first."

"it is good!"

. . .

. . .

Near the bushes on the mountaintop, three figures cautiously crept up.

Two men with pistols were in front, and a woman holding a black and green compound bow was behind.

After examining the area carefully, the three began to converse in a foreign language.

"You dodged it?" The man at the front was somewhat surprised.

In his memory, his companions had never missed with their bows and arrows.

The woman looked down, opened the microcomputer on her wrist, and said in a deep voice, "The person is two kilometers away."

"Could they be Chinese police officers who came to arrest a murderer?"

"How could that be? The police can't be that fast."

The oldest man, who appeared to be the leader, had a serious expression. "It seems these people came directly for us. They're probably hired by a competitor of the Sun Group!"

The other two's expressions changed, but upon closer inspection, it really was a possibility.

The woman glanced at the screen: "Should we chase after them? The person who was here a moment ago has been tracked by the tracking device and is still standing there without moving."

The leader shook his head: "It's best not to take any risks if we don't know how many people they have. Let's speed up and go inside. Buck and the others have already gone in."

The woman frowned: "I still can't figure out how they dodged my arrow!"

“Maybe it was just good luck, or maybe you shot too far before,” the other person said.

"That's possible, but don't worry too much. Since this person couldn't detect the tracking ball, it means they don't pose much of a threat to us."

The leader started descending the mountain first. "Once we get to the plateau, the terrain will be more open, and it won't be so easy for them to catch up. We'll find an opportunity to ambush them then!"

"it is good!"

The three then descended the mountain.

By this time, it was already bright daylight, and the sun was slowly peeking out.

The weather looks pretty good today.

Swish!
Just over ten minutes after the three left, footsteps were heard on the mountaintop.

Jia Hao staggered up the hill and stared blankly at the spot where the explosion had occurred for a while.

He was resting in the woods when he was awakened by the explosion.

Jia Hao's first thought was that the police were coming after him, but then he thought that didn't make sense. Even if he had killed someone, the police wouldn't just randomly fire cannons at him.

Therefore, he wanted to come and find out what was going on.

At this moment, Jia Hao was in a state of complete fearlessness. Normally, if he heard an explosion here, he would run as far away as possible and would never dare to come closer.

After what happened last night, he no longer values ​​life as much.

Jia Hao squatted down next to the crater created by the explosion, and dug around in the soil with a fruit knife, but found nothing.

hiss!
The wound on his back seemed to have reopened, and he hissed in pain. "You slut!"

Thinking of the woman he had killed, Jia Hao cursed and struggled to his feet.

Looking around, just as he was about to find a direction to continue, he suddenly noticed two people with backpacks looking at him from below the mountain.

Jia Hao's first reaction was to run away, but then he felt that the two people looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, he realized that they were the two hikers he had picked up from the national highway.
Why are these two here so early in the morning?

Just as he was wondering, Jia Hao noticed that the two people were waving at him. Without much hesitation, he walked over.

"What are you two doing here?"

Upon reaching the two men, Jia Hao tightened his grip on the fruit knife in his hand and spoke first.

Xu Ge glanced at Jia Hao and immediately noticed that Jia Hao was in very poor condition.

The other person's lips were pale, their eyes were vacant, and the blood on their face, whose identity was unknown, had congealed.

"We're going to hike across the Qiangtang Plateau, let's set off early." Xu Ge took out a cigarette and offered one to Jia Hao. "Brother Jia, what were you wandering around up there for just now?"

Jia Hao took the cigarette, took out a lighter and lit it: "I was sleeping when I heard an explosion over there, so I came to check it out."

Seeing that the other person started to sway after taking a puff of his cigarette, Xu Ge stepped forward and helped him up, saying, "Sit down and rest for a while."

"Brother, you're pretty carefree. How can you sleep at a time like this?" Wan Xiaofei said with a smile, taking out a first-aid kit from his backpack. "Don't move yet, let me treat the wound on your back."

Jia Hao was taken aback: "Aren't you two afraid I'm a murderer?"

Wan Xiaofei: "Do you want to kill both of us?"

"I have no grudge against you, why would I kill you?"

"That's settled then! Don't move! Just bear with it!"

"Ouch! Ouch..."

Wan Xiaofei was very skilled and quickly disinfected and bandaged Jia Hao's wound.

"The injury isn't serious, but be careful to avoid infection." Wan Xiaofei handed Jia Hao a bottle of water. "What are your plans for the future?"

Goo, goo, goo!

Jia Hao finished a bottle of mineral water in one gulp, first thanked them sincerely, and then said, "To be honest, I don't know either. Let's keep going in. If we can't go any further, we might as well die in the no-man's-land."

Xu Ge looked at him: "Aren't you planning to turn yourself in?"

Jia Hao shook his head: "I can't decide how I live, but I can still decide how I die."

Since the other party had already said that, Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei felt that there was no point in saying anything more, so they left some water and food, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Wan Xiaofei pointed to the fruit knife stuck in the ground: "Brother Jia, you probably don't need this knife, can I have it?"

"This is a murder weapon. What do you want it for? Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?" Jia Hao asked, somewhat puzzled.

Wan Xiaofei laughed: "I'm useful."

"Alright, take it if you want!" Jia Hao said to the two of them. "You two are still willing to help me at this time, your kindness is immense, but I'm afraid I won't have the chance to repay you. Maybe in the next life, hahaha!"

"Take care."

. . .

. . .

After leaving Jia Hao, Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei sped up and quickly returned to the mountaintop, finding a suitable spot to look ahead.

The distant mountains became bare, and three small black dots could be vaguely seen moving slowly in the valley.

“They’re moving slower than expected,” Wan Xiaofei immediately concluded. “They must have gone back to the mountaintop again.”

Xu Ge looked at the surrounding terrain and frowned: "The terrain is too open, there's no way to hide."

"Are you still able to run? Find a way to get in front of them!"

"Have you forgotten that I have a GPS tracker on my foot?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Just follow them and keep your distance. We'll take action at night."

Wan Xiaofei thought about it and had no other choice, so he nodded in agreement.

The two then followed the enemy at a distance, gradually heading deeper into the Qiangtang region.

Xu Ge could locate them by scent, and Wan Xiaofei was skilled at tracking, so neither of them worried about losing them, making their journey quite easy.

As evening approached, Wan Xiaofei arrived at a small lake and suddenly stopped, squatting down to examine something closely.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ge asked as he stepped forward.

"They separated!" Wan Xiaofei pointed to the hillside on his right. "Someone went that way alone!"

Xu Ge walked around the area, sniffed carefully, and found that there really was a scent extending to the right.

"What are they trying to do? Sneak behind us?"

Wan Xiaofei got excited and gripped the fruit knife in his hand: "Our chance has come! I'll do another flanking maneuver!"

"How to say?"

"You stay here and don't move. I'm going to chase after that lone traveler. That guy is definitely not Luna!"

Xu Ge: ...

This guy is using him as bait, but he doesn't really mind. This was originally a plan between the two of them, but they didn't expect the enemy to make the first move.

Are you confident?

"Don't worry, just wait here and loot the loot!"

After Wan Xiaofei finished speaking, he threw down his backpack and rushed towards the hillside on the right.

Remembering something, Xu Ge reminded him, "If the other two come after me later, I'll just run away!"

"It's okay, I'll find you..."

The sound faded into the distance, and Wan Xiaofei's figure disappeared behind the hillside.

Although he was being used as bait, Xu Ge didn't intend to do nothing.

He first carried the two people's backpacks to a secluded low-lying area by the lake, then found a few handy stones and put them in his pockets before hiding at the foot of a nearby hillside.

Xu Ge didn't know if the three people opposite him had walkie-talkies or other communication devices. He did this to prevent them from noticing that someone was missing and alerting their companions.

The reason for separating the person and the bag is that if the enemy wants to ambush him, they will most likely shoot arrows first, just like before.

Removing the backpack wouldn't affect speed, and Xu Ge was also afraid the backpack would be blown up.

With everything prepared, Xu Ge summoned his token, ready to add skill points at any time.

We waited until dark.

More than two hours passed, and Xu Ge gradually became worried.

Not only was the enemy silent, but Wan Xiaofei was also nowhere to be found.

From yesterday until now, the two of them have only slept for less than two hours in total over the past two days. Coupled with the long journey, their physical condition has actually declined quite a bit.

The three opponents were clearly professionals, making it very difficult to carry out a sneak attack under such circumstances.

Xu Ge had only known Wan Xiaofei for a short time, and apart from knowing that Wan Xiaofei's physical abilities were decent, he didn't know his true strength, so it was understandable that he was worried.

While I was lost in thought, a flash of light suddenly appeared on the wartime mode button in the lower left corner of the token.

Xu Ge's heart tightened, and he immediately got into a starting position, ready to sprint off at any moment.

Damn it, they actually came!
