From morning to afternoon, there was no news from the hunting team that entered the Black Pine Forest. Feeling bored, Xia Pingan closed his eyes and waited quietly in the helicopter.
Until evening, the communication device in the helicopter sounded again.
"Falcon 3, Falcon 4, we have injured members, we need to transport the injured immediately to pursue the prey. Please reply if you copy, please reply if you copy!"
"Falcon 3 roger …"
"Falcon 4 roger …"
"We will release a red smoke bomb at the location …"
"Roger …"
…
In the blink of an eye, the two helicopters took off and flew towards the Black Pine Forest. Just as the helicopters flew over a mountain ridge, they saw a red smoke rising from the ground far away.
The two helicopters quickly flew towards the direction of the red smoke.
A few minutes later, the helicopters arrived at the place where the red smoke was rising and blew away the red smoke from the cigarette cans on the ground.
On a patch of grass in the Black Pine Forest, there were four members of the hunting team lying on the ground. Some of them had their intestines flowing out, some of them had their necks and thighs badly mutilated. They seemed to have gone through a fierce battle with the demon rats.
There were also a few members who had wounds on their bodies but could still move.
The bald man and the short-haired beauty were not at the scene, but at the edge of the forest not far away, Xia Pingan saw a burnt demon rat corpse that was cut into several pieces.
The group quickly carried the injured members onto one of the Falcon helicopters. The seven members who were not injured got onto the helicopter that Xia Pingan was in. The two helicopters took off at the same time. The helicopter that carried the injured members flew towards Xianghe City while the helicopter that Xia Pingan was in flew towards the valley far away.
Xia Pingan closed his eyes again. A few seconds later, a "picture" appeared in Xia Pingan's consciousness.
A demon rat was fleeing in the forest, there were two drones in the sky chasing after it.
A blade missile launched by the drone was blocked by the dense tree trunks. After cutting off a few trees and a large number of branches, it deviated from its direction and heavily smashed onto the back of the demon rat.
There was another drone that was shooting with a machine gun in the sky, causing the soil and wood shavings on the forest ground to fly everywhere. The demon rat that was being chased was covered in wounds, but it still had a terrifying speed and movement ability. It also knew how to use the trees and the environment to avoid being chased.
More importantly, the wounds on the Demon Rat's body were automatically recovering while it was running.
Xia Pingan even saw the bleeding wounds on the demon rat rapidly stop bleeding and close up. A few bullets that were shot into the demon rat's body were squeezed out of the demon rat's body and fell to the ground.
200-300 meters behind the demon rat, the bald man called Old Tu was running in the forest at a speed of 100 meters with a huge saber in hand. The bald man's speed was so fast that he didn't look like a human. When there was a fallen tree in front of him, the bald man jumped over 2 meters high and directly flipped over the tree trunk.
On the side of the bald man was the short-haired beauty. The short-haired beauty was not slower than the bald man. Instead, she was more agile. When encountering obstacles in the woods, she easily dodged them by rolling and twisting her body like an athlete doing gymnastics on a balance beam.
To be honest, Xia Pingan had never seen a woman who could run so fast in the forest. Even those female athletes who had won the Olympic gold medal in hurdling were inferior to the short-haired beauty.
The bald man and the woman were like two pairs of pliers that flanked the demon rat from both sides. The demon rat seemed to have nowhere to run.
However, at this moment, a pitch-dark mountain cave appeared on the hillside in front of the forest. The demon rat instantly drilled into the mountain cave.
The drone whizzed across the sky and lost the chance to continue shooting...
By the time the bald man and the short-haired beauty arrived, there was no trace of the Demon Rat in the cave. There were many forks in the cave. When the two people reached the entrance of the cave and entered for a while, they found that there were too many forks in the cave. Therefore, they could not help but stop.
"It's 30 km away from 3 o'clock. After passing through the valley in front of us, we will arrive there..." Xia Pingan told the pilot of the helicopter.
...
Several minutes later, the helicopter hovered on the ground near the mountain cave. Xia Pingan and the other members of the hunting squad got off the helicopter and came to the entrance of the mountain cave.
At the sight of Xia Pingan, the bald man strode towards him with a solemn look, "There are too many forks in the mountain cave. Can you sense which way the demon rat escaped? That demon rat is female. It's not an ordinary demon rat. It has a very strong recovery ability. It might evolve. Don't let it escape from the mountain cave!"
The surrounding became quiet as everyone was looking at Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan originally wanted to say no. However, looking at the surrounding faces and thinking about the injured members who were taken away by the helicopter, he finally nodded and decided to take the risk. "That demon rat has just slipped into the mountain cave. As long as I enter the mountain cave and follow it, I will be able to lock its trace!"
The bald man glanced at the members' faces before giving an order, "Xue Cheng, give your tactical helmet, tactical bulletproof vest and weapon to Xia Pingan and teach him how to use them. Zhao Yang and Lin Feng, prepare climbing tools and ropes and enter the mountain cave with us. The two of you will be responsible for protecting Xia Pingan. The rest of you will be stationed at the entrance of the mountain cave and set remote sensing landmines. Don't let that demon rat escape from the entrance of the mountain cave again!" “
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone immediately got busy. The pursuer named Xue Cheng directly took off his tactical helmet and tactical bulletproof vest and put them on Xia Pingan. At the same time, he taught Xia Pingan how to use them.
The tactical helmet was equipped with night vision, communication and body detection functions. It was very convenient to use. Xia Pingan immediately knew how to use it.
As for weapons, the pursuers all used assault rifles. All high schools in the Fire Country had a course on how to use weapons. Every high school student in the Fire Country would master the basic skills of using rifles, pistols and assault rifles. Xia Pingan also knew how to use them.
Two minutes later, Xia Pingan, who was wearing a helmet, a tactical vest and holding an assault rifle, walked into the cave with a few others.
After the five people entered the mountain cave, the team members who stayed outside immediately set remote sensing landmines outside the mountain cave.
After entering the mountain cave for less than fifty meters, it was completely dark inside. Only a faint light came from the entrance of the mountain cave. Xia Pingan could only use the night vision device on the tactical helmet to see the environment inside the mountain cave.
The entire mountain cave was covered in a faint green light.
Xia Pingan was the second last in the team, so he received the best protection.
At the front of the team was the bald man with a huge saber. The short-haired beauty was the second. In front of Xia Pingan was the special forces member named Zhao Yang. Behind Xia Pingan was the special forces member named Lin Feng.
Xia Pingan realized that the bald man and the short-haired beauty didn't need night-vision equipment to see the cave's environment clearly in this pitch-black cave.
"In front, the second mountain cave on the left..." Xia Pingan sensed the situation inside the mountain cave and said. Not long after the demon rat entered the mountain cave, Xia Pingan kept a close watch on it with his "remote viewing" ability. He still remembered the path and could chase after it.
...
"In front, turn left..."
...
"There's a cave on the top..."
...
"There's a crack in the rock wall on the left. We can climb in through the crack..."
...
"We need to climb down this 5-m high rock with a rope..."
...
Xia Pingan guided the way inside the mountain cave. At the beginning, the path inside the mountain cave was easy to walk on; however, it became more and more difficult to walk on. Gradually, water and a brook appeared in the mountain cave. They waded in the brook and continued to move forward. Xia Pingan's clothes were all wet in a short while.
Fortunately, the Demon Rat was huge. If it could reach a place where it could burrow in, Xia Pingan and the others could also burrow in.
...
After over forty minutes, Xia Pingan suddenly stopped as he closed his eyes.
The whole team stopped.
Xia Pingan pointed at a pitch-black cave which was as high as half a person over 20 m away. He then nodded forcefully and pointed at 3 o'clock on the right side of the cave.
Everybody understood that the demon rat was hiding in the cave in front of them at 3 o'clock on the right side of the cave.
The bald man made some hand gestures to the two members of the special forces who were protecting Xia Pingan and the short-haired beauty. Lin Feng immediately retreated with Xia Pingan and had Xia Pingan hide behind a huge rock. After that, he turned around. Zhao Yang took off two flashbangs and walked to the cave in front of them before raising three fingers...
Three... two... one...
The two flashbangs were thrown into the right side of the cave at the same time. Everybody outside the cave turned around at the same time.
"Bang..." a muffled sound drifted from the mountain cave while the dazzling white light made the entire mountain cave pale.
The moment the white light disappeared, the bald man lowered his body and with a roll, he was the first to rush into the cave. The short-haired beauty was the second to rush in.
Closely after that, the whistling sound of the machete and the roar of the bald man drifted from the mountain cave, "B * stard, go to hell..."
Then, the sound of gunfire was heard. A crimson flame lit up the cave, illuminating it like a cave that had been lit on fire.
Closely after that, the shrill shriek of the demon rat reverberated in the mountain cave...
...
Two minutes later, all the movements in the cave stopped. The bald man with a few bloody wounds on his left shoulder came out of the cave with a big saber in his hand as if nothing had happened. The short-haired beauty followed closely behind him.
"There are some bats and cave creatures in the mountain caves along the way. Zhao Yang, Lin Feng, you two guard here. Don't let other animals enter the mountain cave. I will inform the Fourth Bureau to come here as soon as possible to carry out quarantine and purification..."
"Yes, sir!" The two members immediately stood at the entrance of the mountain cave and looked around vigilantly.
The bald man then looked at Xia Pingan as he walked towards him and patted Xia Pingan's shoulder. At the same time, he grinned and revealed a mouth full of terrifying steel teeth.
Looking at his mouth full of shiny steel teeth, the bald man smiled like a hungry ghost, which could definitely scare children to tears. "Kid, you did well today. You have some guts. I guess the director won't let someone like you slip away again. It's not easy to find clairvoyants. Follow me in the future. I, Old Tu, will protect you …"
