The three of them stepped on the dark rotten branches and leaves, bypassing the trees and lush bushes that blocked their way, and quickly entered the depths of the forest. The forest was dark and gloomy, and the scenery was monotonous, which seriously affected one's sense of direction. Fortunately, they didn't need to identify the direction, and just followed the initial direction and went straight into the depths.
They walked like this for three to four miles, but they still couldn't see the end of the forest, as if they would never reach the end.
Suddenly, Ceng Baohua sped up and ran forward. Li Rui and Yang Xiang were both shocked, and didn't know whether to stop her or chase after her.
But Ceng Baohua didn't run far before she tripped and suddenly fell forward. Her body landed solidly on the ground, and thanks to the thick piles of dead branches and leaves on the ground, she didn't get hurt.
Li Rui and Yang Xiang hurriedly chased after her to help her up. Li Rui said, "Mary, what did you find? Why did you suddenly run? "
Ceng Baohua stood up with a face full of joy. He patted the broken leaves hanging on his body and pointed to a place not far away. "I seem to have passed by that gravel field before. I was about to run over to take a closer look, but who knows what tripped me." After he finished speaking, he looked back to see what had tripped him.
She didn't know if she didn't look, but when she did, she was shocked. Her whole body shivered, and she leaned to the side, almost burrowing into Li Rui's arms. She exclaimed, "Snake, it's a snake …"
Yang Xiang said, "What's the big deal about a snake? Where aren't there snakes? " She said casually, and also looked over, but when she saw the snake, she was so scared that her face changed, and she quickly pulled Li Rui back a few steps.
What's going on? At the place where Ceng Baohua tripped, there was a huge grayish-yellow snake. This snake was too thick, at least as thick as an adult's calf. Its body was also very long, and it coiled many times. The outermost circle was about seventy to eighty centimeters in diameter. If one only counted the length of its coiled body, it would be at least five to six meters. Such a thick and long snake couldn't be described as a snake, but a python.
However, this python's head wasn't big. It was only the size of a human fist. Even so, including Yang Xiang, who looked down on snakes, no one dared to underestimate the lethality of this python. If its body coiled around the chest of any one of the three people, the compression force could easily crush that person's sternum and suffocate them to death. Its mouth, which didn't look very wide, could open up three or four times its original size when necessary.
This was an animal that was even stronger than tigers and wolves, so it was best not to provoke it if possible.
The three of them were so scared that they had goosebumps. They each took a few steps back and looked at the python from afar. Speaking of which, it should be the master of this place. At this moment, the master was quietly sitting in the pile of dead leaves, not moving at all. Its two eyes were gently looking at the three of them, not emitting any malice.
Yang Xiang had already calmed down and said, "It doesn't seem to be aggressive. Ignore it and continue with our work!"
Ceng Baohua breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards the gravel field about ten meters away. Li Rui and Yang Xiang quickly followed.
"Yes, it's here. I remember this place. In the entire forest, only this gravel field has such a high surface, like a stone hill! I finally found the path I walked on that day! It must be God's blessing. Miss Gao, don't worry, we'll find the place where you were imprisoned soon! "
After Ceng Baohua carefully observed the gravel field in front of him, he shouted excitedly. At the same time, his eyes were red and tears were brewing inside, as if they would flow out at any time.
Li Rui said happily, "Are you sure it's this path? That's great, I'll send a message to Xu Da and the others immediately. "As he said that, he told them the good news through the wireless headset.
After Xu Da and Yi Lian received the news, they discussed for a while and made a decision. First, inform the task force to let the small team that was searching for traces left by Ceng Baohua cancel the operation and return to the base camp to wait for further orders. Second, inform the task force that was searching for the factory to draw a line towards the south on the map according to the geographical location of Li Rui and the others. Then, with the point that passed through the forest as the center, they would search for the large factories that existed on the left and right sides.
As for Xu Da and Yi Lian, they contacted the pilot of the helicopter just now and asked him to fly the helicopter to pick them up. After that, they would meet up with Li Rui and the others.
The reason why they didn't use this shortcut plan before was that there were two paths (that is, two forest exits) to choose from. They couldn't be sure which path was taken by Ceng Baohua, and it involved a large search range, so it wasn't appropriate to directly search for the factory. But now, there was only one path left, which corresponded to the only forest exit. It was enough to search for the factories on both sides of this exit.
Half an hour later, the helicopter that Xu Da and Yi Lian were on flew above Li Rui and the others. Unfortunately, there were too few places in the forest that could be used as landing pads. Even though they were already above their heads, they couldn't land. The pilot had to take a detour around the vicinity. After searching a large area, he found an open space about a mile away from the three of them and landed on the ground. Li Rui and the others naturally had to go through a lot of twists and turns before they finally returned to the helicopter.
As soon as the helicopter took off, Yi Lian received a piece of good news. It said that the action team looking for the factory had found a suspected target. The other party's name was "Tang Sen Microbial Power Generation Technology Company". The company had what Ceng Baohua described as "strange buildings and high walls", and there were also garbage trucks going in and out. To the left of the factory's entrance was the forest where Yi Lian and the others were.
After Yi Lian told the news to Xu Da and the others, Li Rui and the others were ecstatic. Ceng Baohua even shed tears of excitement again.
"It's all my fault. If I didn't presume that the factory was a garbage treatment plant, the task force might have already found it. As a result, so much time was wasted, and Miss Gao was even caught by terrorists. I'm really sorry for her, and even more sorry for everyone …"
Ceng Baohua quickly began to blame herself again. She cried, making Li Rui and the others very embarrassed. Everyone had to comfort her for a while.
Needless to say, the helicopter flew all the way south, rushing to the power generation technology company.
Not long after the helicopter flew out of the forest, it saw another police helicopter sent by the task force hovering above the factory. It saved them the trouble of asking for the exact location, and they could just go over directly.
As they got closer, Li Rui could already see clearly. He saw that a large factory stood a few kilometers to the right. There were a few huge electricity towers and some simple buildings. He pointed his finger and signaled for Ceng Baohua to look over.
Ceng Baohua had also seen the gate of the factory. At the same time, she also saw everything in the factory clearly. A slideshow flashed through her mind. The scenes of her escape from the garbage disposal workshop that day played automatically in her mind. This made her so surprised that she was speechless.
"It's here!"
Ceng Baohua seemed to use all the strength in her body to say this sentence with gritted teeth.
Li Ruixin's head was half relieved. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xu Da, "The next step is to locate the terrorist's nest. I just hope that Mary's escape didn't alert the terrorists, and that the terrorists didn't change their hiding place. "
Xu Da said, "I have already discussed this with Irene. She thinks that the terrorists probably didn't have a chance to change places because on the day Mary escaped, the county and town police in the suburbs of Philadelphia had already implemented a joint investigation. The terrorists were afraid of the situation, so they didn't dare to bring Zixuan out in the open. They didn't dare to bring Zixuan, whether it was day or night, because it was very obvious to bring a Chinese woman like Zixuan along. It would be easy for people who knew about the kidnapping to find out. So, the terrorists should still be in their nest now. "
At the same time, in a room on the second floor above Zixuan's cell, Sam was standing in front of the window, holding a high-powered telescope and looking out. Mike and the driver who kidnapped Zixuan were sitting at the coffee table in the room, wiping the automatic rifles in their hands. Mike was holding an M4A1 in his hand, and the driver was holding a modified AK47. There were also a few assault rifles, several pistols, and full magazines on the coffee table.
Sam looked for a while, but he didn't see anything. He shook his head, put the telescope on the windowsill, and returned to sit next to Mike and the driver. He picked up an AK47, loaded it, and held it with both hands. He made a virtual shooting motion at the white wall in front of him, and his mouth even made a sound.
Mike and the driver glanced at him and shook their heads in disdain.
Sam then put down the rifle in his hand, spread out his hands, and said, "Brothers, why don't we temporarily avoid the danger? We should leave a useful body and continue to fight against the source of evil, Uncle Sam. Why stay here and wait for death? (Beautiful) "
The driver said indifferently, "Who said that we will definitely die? Besides, what's so scary about death? Allah will guide us. Sam, what's wrong with your devotion to Allah? (Beautiful) "
Mike scolded, "Sam, you idiot. There are police and police cars everywhere outside now. As long as we take that Chinese woman out, we will be the focus of attention. Then we will really go to see God. Besides, what's wrong with staying here? At least until now, the police haven't found us. I am very interested in fighting with the FBI now and see if they are smart or we are smart. If they lose this time, then I will always look down on them, and we won't have to be so careful in the future. (Beautiful) "
Sam asked, "Tomorrow is the tenth day. Will you behead the girl at midnight tomorrow as promised? (Beautiful) "
