Chapter 135 An Emergency

Time went by neither fast nor slow. For ordinary people, life was really fast, but for some people, such as Lin Jiayi, time was really very slow. Since Lu Yao had asked her to help him fill in the application form last time, she had never seen Lu Yao again.

Lin Jiayi had a feeling for Lu Yao. In Lin Jiayi's own words, it was a kind of attraction that might be attributed to her "liking" or "caring about a common friend" for Lu Yao. Originally, when they could often meet, she did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. It was nothing more than the attention to the opposite s*x as she grew up.

However, after not seeing Lu Yao for a long time, Lin Jiayi felt that the feeling for Lu Yao in her heart had changed dramatically. Lu Yao's figure was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred in her heart. When it was clear, she felt very warm in her heart. When it was blurred, she felt as if she had lost her soul.

Lin Jiayi was a girl with a pure and sentimental heart. She always liked to read Echo and Zhang Ailing, two famous female writers, in her spare time. However, what she liked most was the story between Phyllis Lin and Tsemon Hsu.

She liked their talents and their relationship of knowing and cherishing each other. However, if she had to choose between the two of them, she might be inclined to prefer Phyllis Lin. She read Phyllis Lin's famous poem "That Night" and was moved to tears. When she was awake, tears streamed down her face. After she fell asleep, she still wet her pillow with tears.

"That night, my boat was pushed out of the heart of the river; There were dense stars in the clear blue sky. That night, you held my hand; The wandering starry night sealed off our great sorrow. That night, you and I went separate ways; We each identified our own direction of life. Until now, my boat is still floating on the sea; The frail mast often shakes in the wind..."

The drill in Yunwu Mountain was coming to an end. There was also a transient encounter between the two sides. However, there was no substantial confrontation between them.

Even a wise man like Hong Yan, the Captain of Falcon Assault Team, made a mistake. The disguisers whom they had been guarding against failed to have their way. But unexpectedly, a couple who went up the mountain to "play" discovered the tracks of their two members. What was more, the couple even took a blurred picture with their mobile phone and shared it on WeChat's Moments.

Fortunately, the staff of Shuangta City's Internet Surveillance Brigade found it in time and took immediate measures to block the message on Moments at the first time. Otherwise, the consequences might be troublesome.

Of course, these two unlucky members of Falcon Assault Team were also eliminated by the director team.

Now, the two teams each had seven members left. It was a draw to them for the moment.

Except for Lu Yao, the other six members of the Elite Team were in pairs, cooperating with each other while they moved forward. Lu Yao served as their guard and observer three or four hundred meters ahead of them.

Thanks to Lu Yao's contribution, they suffered no loss in the previous confrontation. If Lu Yao hadn't discovered it in time, he might have been the only one left in the Elite Team at the moment.

Xu Long couldn't figure out how the Falcon Assault Team had discovered their whereabouts. When they arrived at the designated Location No.3 after travelling day and night painstakingly, the Falcon Assault Team had already made an ambush for them to get in.

Hong Yan, the Captain of Falcon Assault Team were now carefully searching for clues that Xu Long and the others might have left behind.

"Captain, how did they find us? Why can't I figure it out?" Eagle, the chatterbox of the team, asked Hong Yan.

"Exactly. I can't figure it out either!" Vulture, Eagle's good partner, chimed in.

Su Li, Tie Feinan, and the other two team members also had the same question. However, since the two buffoons, Eagle and Vulture had asked, they did not ask any more questions. Looking at Hong Yan's back, they wanted to know what the Captain, who was like a god in their eyes, was thinking.

"Feinan, how many members of the Elite Team did you find just now?" Hong Yan asked without looking back.

"Six." Tie Feinan's answer had always been short.

Hong Yan did not continue to say anything. Instead, a team member who had not spoken much before was suddenly enlightened and said, "Captain, do you mean that the person who has not been found by Brother Tie found us?"

Hearing his words, everyone understood, and Hong Yan also nodded.

As a sniper, Tie Feinan had to try his best to find all the members of the other team before the Captain gave an order each time, so as to provide an effective supplement to the Captain's judgment. He recalled the situation at that time, and realized that there was indeed a member of the Elite Team that he had never found. Even if he expanded the scope of investigation to the limit of 800 meters, he did not find any clues.

"How could that very young guy in the photo be so strong?" Tie Feinan recalled all the people he had discovered then in his mind carefully. All the members of the Elite Team, including Xu Long, were discovered, except for the most inconspicuous "underage" guy who had even been ridiculed by his team members.

"The unknown enemy is the most dangerous. This person was the only one that we know nothing about in the entire Elite Team." Hong Yan knew that the team members had accepted this seemingly unreasonable answer, and he continued, "Wang Shi, as the sniper of their team, has been eliminated long ago. I originally thought that this would have a great impact on them, but now it seems that this is not the case. I will think carefully to decide the time when we should take the next action. Before finding this guy, no one is allowed to act rashly."

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers replied quietly in a chorus.

It was getting late. In the evening, a dark cloud floated over the area where the Elite Team was located, bringing a short rainstorm. The ground became a little wet and slippery due to the grass.

It had been a hundred and eight hours since the team members had entered the Yunwu Mountain area. There were only thirty-six hours left before the drill ended. Because the team members had never eaten any hot food for the past five days and four nights, and the temperature in the mountain had also dropped very quickly after the rain, their physical conditions were not very good. In order to avoid physical exhaustion during the final battle, the two sides tacitly chose to spend the night quietly.

Under Xu Long's lead, the Elite Team found a relatively hidden cliff platform as their shelter. This place was near the top of a cliff, and the edge of the cliff was also covered with trees, which formed a natural barrier. No one would find that the team members were resting here, unless they made a loud noise.

Everyone was very satisfied with the place chosen by Xu Long. Several members thought that no one would find this place at all, and that there was no need to be on guard tonight. But in the end, Xu Long, who was cautious, chose to go on night duty alone considering everyone's physical conditions. The others could have a good rest, and they would set off at three or four o'clock in the morning.

Lu Yao was a little worried, so he chose to go on night duty with Xu Long. Originally, Xu Long did not agree, but he could not resist Lu Yao's repeated requests. In the end, the two climbed up the cliff and chose a place with a relatively broad view.

"Xiao Lu, don't you really need to rest? You have been very tired these days. Moreover, you have walked more than all the other team members in order to explore the way for everyone. Even an iron man should not be able to withstand it!"

Xu Long whispered to Lu Yao after they had lain in ambush.

"Captain Xu, maybe you can call me steel man!" Lu Yao said seriously.

"Steel man? What steel man?" Xu Long did not understand the meaning of Lu Yao's words.

"Didn't you say that even an iron man should not be able to withstand it? I am a steel man, so I have no problem at all!" Lu Yao suddenly laughed softly and said, looking at Xu Long.

Xu Long finally understood what Lu Yao meant. He patted Lu Yao on the head and could not help but smile, "I thought you were a quiet person, but now I find that you are quite a humorous person!"

"Xiao Lu, have you seriously thought about the suggestion I gave you at that time?" Xu Long continued to ask.

"Captain Xu, to be honest, you are not the first person to suggest that I join the army. Therefore, I have thought it through. My situation is a little special, and I have a lot of things to do. I really can't stay in the army for a long time." As Lu Yao spoke, he paid attention to the changes in Xu Long's expression. When he said that he could not stay in the army, he could clearly feel Xu Long's regret, so he continued, "However, I can live in society with my heart in the army. If the country needs me, and the army needs me, I will definitely come back without hesitation!"

Xu Long was originally in a bad mood, but when Lu Yao said the latter half of his sentence, he felt very satisfied.

In this way, he could be considered to have completed the task the leaders had given him. At the same time, he also deeply accepted Lu Yao, his "temporary" subordinate, from the bottom of his heart.

As the two of them kept an eye on the surroundings, they talked about some moving stories about dedicated soldiers in the army. Suddenly, Lu Yao jumped up like a bolt of lightning and rushed in the opposite direction of the cliff at full speed.

Xu Long rarely saw Lu Yao like this. He knew that something extremely urgent must have happened. Otherwise, Lu Yao wouldn't have rushed out directly without saying a word. He was also extremely nervous all of a sudden.

While he was thinking, his body also made a reaction that a normal person should make. He immediately got up and chased after Lu Yao.

Lu Yao was running very fast, like a hunting cheetah. There was only a black dot flashing in Xu Long's eyes. After only five or six hundred meters, Lu Yao disappeared without a trace, as if he had disappeared into the vast night.

Xu Long knew that there wouldn't be any result if he continued chasing like this. After a brief thought, he immediately turned around to gather all the team members to search. If something happened to Lu Yao, they could take care of him.
