There was a forest at the foot of the mountain. After passing through the forest, there were only shrubs and shrubs. There was no vegetation near the top of the mountain, only exposed weathered rocks. This mountain was the highest mountain in the C4 and D4 areas. Although it was called a "mountain," it was only compared to the surrounding mountains. This area was considered a hilly area, so there were no real mountains or peaks.
Qu Sen and Guan Yun quickly passed through the forest at the foot of the mountain and began to move forward in the dense shrubs. There was a path up the mountain, but the two were worried about encountering Blues. Without the cover of the shrubs, the two of them would be very obvious targets, so they could only take the path without a path.
There were many wild jujube and other plants in the shrubs, and they were full of thorns. Fortunately, the camouflage uniform was more resistant to scratches. If it were normal pants, it would probably be damaged after walking for a while. However, although the camouflage pants were fine, there were often long and sharp thorns that pierced through the pants and into the legs.
The continuous and irregular pain on the legs made Qu Sen and Guan Yun grit their teeth, but they did not dare to make a sound. They could only endure. In his heart, he hoped that he could quickly pass through this section and reach an area full of mountain rocks.
Because there was no path under their feet, they would occasionally encounter areas that they could not pass through. The two could only take a detour, and after a while, they went from the southwest side of the mountain to the southeast side. Qu Sen inadvertently turned his head, and suddenly, he vaguely saw what seemed to be a flashlight flash in the forest at the foot of the mountain.
Not daring to make a sound, Qu Sen quickly pressed down on Guan Yun's shoulder. Guan Yun was in a state of high alert, and when he felt his shoulder being pressed down by Qu Sen, he conveniently squatted down with Qu Sen.
"There seems to be someone at the foot of the mountain." Qu Sen almost put his mouth next to Guan Yun's ear and whispered in the lowest voice.
Guan Yun looked in the direction Qu Sen was pointing, and after observing for a long time, he saw a flashlight flash in the forest below and then disappear.
Qu Sen also saw the flash, and after confirming that his eyes were not playing tricks on him, Qu Sen lowered his body even more, afraid that the people at the foot of the mountain would inadvertently look up and discover them.
"It's okay, our position is backlit, and their flashlights can't shine this far." Guan Yun saw that Qu Sen was extremely nervous, so he softly comforted him.
Qu Sen and Guan Yun were currently leaning against an area of the mountain, and the shadows of the mountain under the moonlight provided the two with the best protection.
When Qu Sen heard Guan Yun's words, he turned around to take a look before he felt relieved. From their position, unless a high-powered spotlight shone up from the foot of the mountain, no one would be able to see them. Moreover, since the people at the foot of the mountain were using flashlights, they probably wouldn't use night vision and thermal sensors at the same time.
At first, Qu Sen and Guan Yun thought that the flashing flashlights at the foot of the mountain were from the Blue Team's patrol. They thought that if they hid for a while, the other party would walk past them. But they did not expect that the flashlights at the foot of the mountain would flash more frequently, and in the end, it turned from one to two. It seemed like two people were walking up the mountain.
Soon, Qu Sen realized that his speculation was correct. There were indeed two people walking up the mountain, each holding a flashlight. They seemed to be walking in the direction where the two of them were hiding.
"F * ck, why are they coming!" Qu Sen lowered his voice and muttered.
Guan Yun did not answer. Instead, he gently patted Qu Sen's shoulder and pointed in a direction not far away.
Qu Sen looked in the direction of Guan Yun's finger and suddenly felt his head swell. He did not notice it earlier. It turned out that there was a path up the mountain about ten meters away from the two of them.
The two people at the foot of the mountain were obviously walking up the mountain.
Just as Qu Sen was feeling a headache, he felt Guan Yun gently pat him again. He turned his head and saw that Guan Yun had gestured for him to follow. He maintained his crouched position and began to move in the direction of the mountain behind him. Qu Sen understood what he meant and imitated his posture as he moved over.
Since they were moving quietly in the shadows, Qu Sen was not afraid of being discovered by the two people going up the mountain as long as they did not make any noise. However, after crouching down, he only moved a few steps. His face and neck were stabbed a few times by the bushes.
The left side of his face was especially painful. Qu Sen resisted the pain and did not cry out. When he was going up the mountain, he suspected that some of the thorns of the bushes were poisonous. Otherwise, how could he have been stabbed? The pain was especially intense and did not subside for a long time.
As the two people at the foot of the mountain got closer and closer, Qu Sen and Guan Yun finally circled to the top of the mountain. Hiding in this position, as long as the two of them did not make any noise and did not stand up, they basically did not have to worry about being discovered.
Soon, two people with flashlights came closer. Qu Sen carefully poked half of his head out to take a look. Sure enough, he could faintly see the Blues logo on their helmets.
"Squad leader, did you bring mosquito repellent?" one of the two people with flashlights asked.
"No, I left it in the tent. Why?" the other person replied.
"I didn't bring it either. Won't we be eaten by mosquitoes later? It's been two hours."
"Nonsense. There's not even a blade of grass on the top of the mountain. Where would the mosquitoes come from?"
"Really?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up. The shift will change in less than ten minutes."
"If it wasn't for you taking so long, we would have arrived by now."
"How much faster are you than me? Hurry up and move! Why are you twisting your butt! "
"… My butt was bitten by mosquitoes just now. It's itchy."
"You're the only one who's so nosy. Why am I not twisting my butt?"
"Squad leader, you were bitten too?"
"Can you stop talking so much nonsense? You're a chatterbox!"
"…"
As the two people walked away, Qu Sen felt Guan Yun tugging at him again. When he turned his head to look, he saw that Guan Yun had begun to move up the mountain.
Seeing Guan Yun's movements, Qu Sen was slightly stunned. He quickly realized that Guan Yun wanted to follow behind the two people in front of him and move up the mountain. He could not help but admire Guan Yun's courage.
Although it was dangerous, Qu Sen understood Guan Yun's thoughts.
Listening to the words of the two Blues soldiers who went to change shifts, it was obvious that there was a Blues observation post on the mountain. If Qu Sen and Guan Yun did not know the exact location of the observation post and moved up the mountain, they might accidentally enter the other party's field of vision.
Only by confirming the location of the observation post could they avoid the sight of the soldiers on duty and complete the task of long-distance reconnaissance of the target location.
Going up the mountain in the bushes was not only much more difficult than walking, but it was also very easy to make noise. Fortunately, the two Blues soldiers who changed shifts were almost late. They had been rushing up the mountain and were not as vigilant. Qu Sen and Guan Yun followed behind the two people, maintaining a distance of about thirty meters.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, there were more rocks on both sides of the road. It became more difficult for Qu Sen and Guan Yun to keep an eye on them. They definitely did not dare to walk on the road, but if they walked between the rocks on the side, there would be too much gravel under their feet. It was easier to make noise than walking through the bushes. It was very quiet at night, and the sound of a small stone being kicked off could be heard very far.
Seeing that they were about to lose their target, Qu Sen and Guan Yun were anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
