Chapter 68: The Company Commander is gone

"Sanduo, in such a large area, if those few people cover themselves with camouflage and hide inside without moving, we won't be able to find them for a while even with night vision devices."

Gan Xiaoning looked at the soldiers in the distance who were glowing while searching for the 'mice' and asked.

"Yeah, Third Brother, if the Company Commander and the others don't move, won't we be blind?" Bai Tiejun adjusted his night vision device and looked left and right.

These squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders were all masters of concealment.

The 307 position was so big that even a helicopter would take half a day to scan it.

Feng Yuxiu smiled slightly. "Look for places they haven't searched. Our advantage lies in being able to collect all information, especially at night; they can't see slight movements, but we can."

"See that? They bypassed the river water. We'll look for places they haven't searched, disperse, and look for people."

Gan Xiaoning laughed. "Understood, follow behind them and pick up the scraps."

After saying this, Gan Xiaoning followed the group from the First Platoon and sneaked over.

Bai Tiejun scratched his head. "Then if we still can't find them, and we pried open the door of the supply warehouse without permission, we'll be severely punished."

Feng Yuxiu was indifferent. "If you're afraid, you can go back."

"Sigh, I've always shed blood for the sect, I'm going, I'm going, what do you take me for, I'm not Cheng Cai."

Feng Yuxiu turned and climbed up the tallest and thickest tree.

His gaze scanned the pitch-black ground one by one.

As long as there was the slightest movement, he could discover it.

"Found it!" Feng Yuxiu specifically looked for places that manpower couldn't explore.

He saw a head poke out of the river water, and it quickly submerged again.

"Found another one."

This time, Feng Yuxiu saw the leaves of a large tree in the distance trembling.

Someone was hiding inside.

With two hidden targets already in his heart, Feng Yuxiu was no longer in a hurry and continued to search.

Unless it's a corpse, it will move due to various environments.

Hiding in the river or on a tree will always reveal flaws.

The only fear is the body being camouflaged and lying motionless underground.

That kind is actually the hardest to find.

He watched for more than ten minutes and didn't find a third target.

He climbed down from the tree and walked toward the riverbank.

He squatted on the ground and looked at the direction where the head had just poked out. "Squad Leader, come out, it's too cold in the water."

There was still no movement in the river, but Feng Yuxiu saw that the person under the river water had spat out a few bubbles because of nervousness.

At night, bubbles are invisible; one would only think it was caused by the collision of the river's torrent.

But Feng Yuxiu saw that they had emerged straight from the very bottom of the river.

The person under the river water remained motionless.

Feng Yuxiu stood up expressionlessly. "Squad Leader, this is no fun."

So, Feng Yuxiu grabbed a handful of gravel and smashed it down hard.

Splash, splash!

In an instant, ripples were shot out on the water surface by the stones.

Pfft!

A human head poked out of the river water, holding its head with both hands. "Stop hitting, who told you to catch tongues like this?"

Feng Yuxiu took a closer look and found it was the First Platoon Leader.

"It's you kid!" Looking closer, he discovered Feng Yuxiu.

"Where did you get the night vision device?" The First Platoon Leader scrutinized Feng Yuxiu.

"Speak!"

Feng Yuxiu stared at the First Platoon Leader expressionlessly. "I don't talk to dead people; Platoon Leader, you've already been killed."

The First Platoon Leader's lips twitched; he was also the first to be 'killed' yesterday.

Today, playing hide and seek, he didn't know if he was the first to be found.

Having found one, Feng Yuxiu walked straight to the large tree and looked up.

The First Platoon Leader suddenly became interested and followed him to look at the large tree. "Is someone hiding in the tree?"

"Platoon Leader, you're already dead," Feng Yuxiu corrected again.

The First Platoon Leader glared, crossed his arms, snorted, and squatted on the ground.

"Squad Leader above, please come down." Feng Yuxiu was too lazy to climb the tree and shouted.

"Don't waste your effort, catching tongues, the tongue won't come out just because of a word from you, you still have to climb the tree." The First Platoon Leader watched the second unlucky guy leisurely.

With someone to cushion him, he didn't feel so bad.

However, looking at the night vision device on Feng Yuxiu's head, the First Platoon Leader felt a bit melancholy.

Why didn't the soldiers he led have this cleverness? They were all sticklers for rules and very rigid.

They didn't even use ready-made things, and now they were caught by the Third Platoon.

Feng Yuxiu frowned; this tree was a bit high.

If he rashly climbed the tree, what if he was kicked down by this Squad Leader?

That was very likely to happen.

"Hehe, kid, use this." The First Platoon Leader, this 'dead man,' exerted his corpse's remaining heat and threw a handful of stones to Feng Yuxiu.

"Platoon Leader, aren't you afraid that the one above is the Company Commander?" Feng Yuxiu said indifferently.

The First Platoon Leader's face changed slightly, then he smiled. "I'm already dead, what's there to be afraid of? Even if it's the Company Commander, he was knocked down by you, what does it have to do with me."

Feng Yuxiu stopped talking nonsense, grabbed the stones, and aimed at the tree branches above.

Bang!

His right arm was powerful, and the stones thrown out were as swift and accurate as a slingshot.

"Ouch, who is it, so wicked?!"

The voice of the Second Platoon Third Squad Leader sounded from above.

A look of regret appeared in Feng Yuxiu's eyes. "That's two already. If the time is up and I still can't find them, don't blame me."

He subconsciously touched a cloth bag on his butt.

The First Platoon Leader also saw this action. "What kind of stuff is inside?"

Feng Yuxiu remained silent, turned, and continued to look for large trees in other areas.

"Hey, hey, kid, don't mess around, grenades aren't worth throwing!"

The First Platoon Leader panicked a bit; he was really afraid that Feng Yuxiu would pull out a handful of grenades from the cloth bag to clear the ground.

The Second Platoon Third Squad Leader covered his head and climbed down from the tree, seeing the First Platoon Leader frowning. "Why is that kid so fierce? What if it was the Company Commander above? He dares to throw like that?"

The First Platoon Leader sneered. "Serves you right, who told you not to come down? He's wearing a night vision device, how could he look for people without certainty."

"Platoon Leader, have you seen the Company Commander? I've been hiding in the tree for so long, and I haven't found where the Platoon Leader went."

"Don't know!" The First Platoon Leader said stiffly, and without another word, squatted on the ground waiting.

Wu Liuyi was found by Gan Xiaoning in a rabbit hole.

Because he saw a rabbit burrow in, and with the idea of hunting wild game, he found such a large pile of people inside.

Wu Liuyi saw the equipment on their heads and instantly fell into silence, just cursed and turned away.

Bai Tiejun had good luck, following the route Feng Yuxiu gave him.

He specifically looked for places that had been missed.

He really found three squad leaders.

The three gradually converged in the central area.

"Sanduo, the other mice were found by other soldiers. Now there are two platoon leaders, one company commander, and the remaining few squad leaders haven't been found."

"Do you think they aren't hiding in this place? It's almost an hour." Gan Xiaoning said bitterly.

These soldiers had plowed the 307 position twice.

Those who were found had already come out, and there were still some who hadn't been found.

"What about the trees?" Bai Tiejun asked.

"Didn't find them, I saw them specifically climbing trees to look for people." Gan Xiaoning shook his head.

Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes. "How much longer until an hour?"

Gan Xiaoning glanced at his pocket watch by the moonlight. "About twenty... eighteen minutes."

"Bai Tiejun, you've been following the search team, is there any place that hasn't been searched carefully?"

Bai Tiejun frowned. "Southwest direction, there's a large pine forest and thorns, it's too prickly."

Hearing this, Gan Xiaoning's eyes lit up. "Is everyone hiding over there?"

Feng Yuxiu shook his head. "The Company Commander and the others aren't that stupid. Places we can think of and places we've found, they definitely won't hide there."

"Bai Tiejun, Gan Xiaoning, you two go to the pine forest to look, maybe you can find a group, as for the Company Commander..."

Feng Yuxiu took out the 307 position blueprint from his arms.

Gan Xiaoning's eyes almost popped out, his voice trembling. "My brother, where did you find the military topographic map?"

Feng Yuxiu ignored him, looked at it carefully for a long time, and his finger landed on one place.

His expression became wonderful, and his voice was a bit unstable. "No... no way? Is it that ruthless?" ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
