Little A's voice came from the Bluetooth headset and was full of surprise. "Mr. He, your phone works?! I saw it, and I also turned on my phone's GPS. "
He Zhichu looked at his phone to determine the location between the two and quickly found the shortest route. He pressed the Bluetooth headset. "Got it." He then said, "Listen to my orders. If the enemy continues to pursue later, wait for us to meet up, and we'll have a big one."
Little A gasped, and his voice began to tremble. "Mr. … Mr. He, what are you going to do?!"
It couldn't be what he was thinking, right?!
He Zhichu didn't say anything else and ended the call.
He looked up at the sky. It was still a rich blue, and the brownish-red mountains looked like they were drenched in blood against the backdrop of the blue sky, drawing their own thick and heavy color imprints.
The fighter jets, bombers, and armed helicopters that had been buzzing around like flies earlier were now nowhere to be seen.
Without electromagnetic and radio shortwave communications, and without radar guidance, these planes didn't dare to continue taking off.
The orders issued by Admiral Laris's convoy, after a period of fermentation, began to arouse suspicion in the US military.
At the moment, in Admiral Laris's private car, his expression was also very ugly.
Several of his capable subordinates sat awkwardly in front of him and mumbled, "Mr. Admiral, do we still want to continue?"
So many US soldiers, so well-equipped, and so quick to react, yet they still hadn't caught the "terrorists" causing the incident and even allowed them to escape into the mountains.
They originally thought it would be a quick battle without any suspense, but they encountered unexpected resistance and delays.
Admiral Laris closed his eyes and crossed his arms as he leaned against the back seat without saying a word.
His deputy was also a Japanese-American, so he understood what he meant and sternly said to the officers, "Someone attacked Admiral Laris's convoy, so they must be targeting Admiral Laris. You have so many people, yet you can't even catch a few terrorists. Do you want to go to the military court to admit dereliction of duty?!"
"This can't all be blamed on us." The officers began to complain. "Who knew Little Rock Canyon's power system would be so fragile? With the sudden power outage and internet outage, communications were also cut off. Fighter jets can't take off, and we don't dare to send soldiers into the mountains to search for now."
The US soldiers all used so-called high-end equipment, but it was actually a full set of electronic equipment.
This kind of equipment was good, but it relied heavily on electromagnetic communication. There were even more advanced equipment that completely relied on satellite guidance.
During a battle, if the satellite was destroyed by the enemy, then they would be like a blind and deaf man with no chance of winning and could only surrender.
The US military stationed at Ovi Air Force Base in Little Rock Canyon didn't have sophisticated equipment like satellite navigation, but they did have electronic equipment. Now that communication had been cut off, how could they dare to let these US soldiers enter the mountain?
Admiral Laris opened his eyes at this moment and said with an expressionless face, "I thought our American soldiers were all experts who could fight one against a hundred. Without these advanced electronic devices, would they not know how to fight a war? Ridiculous. "
When Admiral Laris said that, those officers immediately blushed and hurriedly said loudly, "Yes, Admiral Laris! We will immediately send people into the mountain! "
…
Without the pursuit of the helicopters and fighter jets, the pressure on He Zhichu and Ye Xuan instantly lessened.
They began to run towards where A and the others were.
The mountain road was rugged and narrow. Many times, the goal seemed to be right in front of them, but in order to reach that goal, they had to take a long detour.
The two of them ran non-stop for the whole day, stopping only to find some water to drink.
The night of winter in North America came very early.
It wasn't even five o 'clock in the evening, and the sun had already completely set.
The valley gradually darkened, and the bright moon climbed over the mountain. The stars twinkled in the night sky as He Zhichu and Ye Xuan silently hurried through the night.
Utah had four or five national parks, and these kinds of national parks protected the local natural topography and wildlife.
The valley that He Zhichu and Ye Xuan were passing through was also part of one of Utah's national parks.
At night, all kinds of wild animals came out to forage.
He Zhichu and Ye Xuan dodged along the way and tried not to shoot at the wild animals to avoid attracting people.
But when they went around a valley and faced a pack of wild wolves in front of it, they had no choice but to shoot.
"Don't shoot." He Zhichu glanced at the pistol in Ye Xuan's hand. "That's for you to deal with people, not wild animals."
Ye Xuan nodded but still held the gun and stood back to back with He Zhichu.
He Zhichu slowly took out another kind of bullet from the bullet bag and pressed it into the box of the magnetic storm grenade gun.
He raised the gun and looked through the scope of the infrared night-vision scope to look in the direction of the pack of wolves in front of them. The AI identification system in the scope began to work, and the wolves scanned one by one before quickly locking onto the location of the wolf king.
The most important thing in fighting a pack of wolves was to find the wolf king and kill it with one shot.
There was a crisp bang!
He Zhichu's bullet cut through the cold night air and hit the wolf king's head!
The wolf king didn't even have time to howl before collapsing to the ground.
When the other wolves saw this, they howled before running away with their tails between their legs.
But after the wolves left, their howls really did attract people.
Ye Xuan's eyes flickered as he saw a light flash behind them a few times before quickly disappearing.
"Someone is coming," Ye Xuan said quietly as he raised the gun and aimed it at the place where the light had flashed.
"Don't shoot. Let's go first." He Zhichu looked back. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to exchange fire with the US army.
"Mr. He, I want to know why they're making such a big fuss. What is it for? Is it for me? I really don't think I'm that important. "Ye Xuan finally asked He Zhichu the question on his mind as they hurried along.
He Zhichu wasn't a patient person. When he was a professor, he mostly taught by inspiration and let the students search for the answer on their own. He didn't teach by explaining the answer directly and then explaining why it was the correct answer.
But tonight was special.
Perhaps it was the situation of being chased through the mountains that made him think of Gu Nianzhi when she was alone in danger in the German Alps. His heart softened a little.
He laughed and said with some mockery, "They're chasing 'terrorists.' What does that have to do with you? Are you a terrorist? "
"Of course not." The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth twitched. "But they're clearly using the excuse of chasing 'terrorists' to kill the two of us."
He Zhichu gripped the gun and looked around before replying nonchalantly, "They want to kill you, but they don't necessarily want to kill me."
He was certain that the mastermind still didn't know he had come to the United States to bring Ye Xuan back to the Huaxia Empire.
If they knew, they wouldn't bear to reveal the important power behind them.
"Yes, why?" Ye Xuan shook his head in confusion. "I'm not a member of the Gu family. I'm just an orphan sponsored by Uncle Gu."
He Zhichu was also thinking about this. He turned to look at Ye Xuan. "Then what do you know? They want you dead because you know something, but they don't want you to disclose it or tell Nianzhi. "
"What can I know?" Ye Xuan was flabbergasted. He was about to say, "I was still in the United States when Uncle Gu got into trouble," but he suddenly thought of Gu Yanran and immediately swallowed his words.
He Zhichu saw that Ye Xuan didn't speak and chuckled. "Now you know, right? Your lover doesn't want you to go back and wants your life … "
"You mean Gu Yanran?" Ye Xuan pursed his lips and silently followed behind He Zhichu for a while before saying, "She doesn't have that much power. I'm sure she can't mobilize these people. "
When Gu Xiangwen got into trouble, Gu Yanran relied on herself to support the Gu family and couldn't even take care of herself.
Later, when Ye Xuan came back to help her, she slowly gained a foothold.
Not long after, Gu Yanran had an impressive lawyer, and the Gu family's situation took a turn for the better.
Ye Xuan glanced at He Zhichu. "Doesn't your assistant, Miss Wen, know best what Gu Yanran is capable of?"
In the night, He Zhichu's expression was normal as he said, "Wen Shouyi is Gu Yanran's lawyer. I might not know what she knows."
He had no interest in the Gu family and only revealed that the Gu family in Barbados was Gu Nianzhi's home later on in order to give Gu Nianzhi a legitimate identity.
Ye Xuan was confused, but seeing He Zhichu's impatient expression, he didn't ask any more questions.
While they were talking, the UA squad that was chasing them had arrived not far behind them.
He Zhichu suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Get down."
He yanked Ye Xuan, and the two of them fell onto a pile of small rocks in the valley.
Not long after they fell, the sound of bullets came from behind them. The sound echoed through the valley and startled a bunch of birds.
