0300 Chapter Ruins
At dawn, the rain finally stopped. The forest was filled with a thick layer of mist, with visibility only a few meters. A chirping of birds awakened a pair of men and women on the hay.
The two of them heard the birds' cries at the same time, opened their eyes at the same time, and then saw each other at the same time. With all their eyes facing each other, Tang Yuyan saw Xia Lei's face, which was close to her. She then realized that she was actually sleeping in her arms. Xia Lei's hand was still holding her waist and the other hand was used as a pillow for her.
If the two are husband and wife, this is definitely a very loving position, but the problem is that the two are not husband and wife at all, and they are not even considered lovers.
Xia Lei quickly pulled his hand, then turned his head and said nervously: "I saw nothing."
Hearing this sentence, Tang Yuyan kicked Xia Lei in the butt without saying a word.
"Ah" Xia Lei let out a cry of pain, and she kicked the wound on his butt.
Tang Yuyan was still ashamed and angry, and wanted to make up for it. She was like this, but he even said that he didn't see it. Is he blind?
Xia Lei was in vain, but he was not angry. Although it was because of a cold and fever, he was a woman after all, and he was a man. He took so much advantage, so what if she kicked her?
This kick seemed to be a summary of the fever incident. Ten minutes later, the two left the shed and walked deep into the forest. The electronic positioning instrument in Tang Yuyan's hand became the navigation instrument for the two, and the two moved in the direction of the signal display.
The fog covering the forest is a good thing for Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan. The speed of the two was not greatly affected, but the pursuers of the White Hun tribe could not catch up in such a foggy weather. Even with the hunting dog, it would not work. The wet air and the smell of rotten forest would affect the hunting dog's sense of smell.
The fog only dissipated at noon, and at this time Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan were already approaching the area where the signal point was.
Tang Yuyan ignored Xia Lei all the way. She was obviously still angry with last night. However, when she approached the signal point, she started to talk more.
"We are almost here. I wonder what the experts are doing now. What do you think?" Tang Yuyan glanced at Xia Lei.
"I don't know." Xia Lei shook his head.
Tang Yuyan wrinkled, "You guy, would you not have any opinion on you being so smart? You must be angry about the kick I kicked you this morning? You are too stingy!"
Xia Lei touched his butt and frowned, "The place you kicked was my wound, and it still hurts. If I didn't save you last night, you might not be able to even walk on the road now. You will repay my kindness like this?"
"Don't mention what happened last night!" Tang Yuyan swung a pink fist and smashed Xia Lei.
Xia Lei slid around and avoided it, and couldn't help but smile on his face, "Stop hitting, I'll tell you."
Tang Yuyan put away her fists, then gave Xia Lei a blank look, "This is almost the same."
Her personality is straightforward and lively, and she loves to joke, which is why Xia Lei can't help but tease her. He likes to see her angry and shy appearance.
Xia Lei sorted out his thoughts before saying, "I think we have overlooked a very important issue, that is, this is the territory of the White Xiongnu tribe. Ning Jing and the people from the expert group are active in this area. Do you think the people of the White Xiongnu tribe will not know?"
"You mean... the expert group was arrested?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. It would be great if we knew the purpose of the expert group here." Xia Lei observed Tang Yuyan's expression and tentatively said: "It's time, tell me, what is our expert group doing here?"
"Stop messing with me, I really don't know. I'm here to perform tasks, not to do scientific research, and I'm not interested," said Tang Yuyan.
"What should we do if all our experts are arrested?" Xia Lei asked.
Tang Yuyan said: "I'll find a way to steal our satellite phone and ask for support."
Xia Lei thought of the women of the White Hun tribe who were like wolves and tigers, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Going to the White Hun tribe to steal the satellite phone? That was a life-threatening thing to pin your head on your waist.
The two of them had no gains in their conversation, but their vision suddenly became clear as they spoke. The forest disappeared strangely here, a wasteland extended forward, and at the end there was a rolling mountain. In the sunshine, the snow on the top of the mountain peak was crystal clear, like a painting.
Xia Lei's gaze was flat, and a rock entered his sight when he looked at the center of the wasteland. At first glance, it was just a large piece of stone, but after careful observation, he found that the stone had the outline of a town. Some places that had not collapsed could also vaguely recognize the appearance of a building. Finally, he came to the conclusion that it was an ancient town, but it had collapsed and turned into a ruin.
This discovery made Xia Lei excited. He took the electronic instrument positioned in Tang Yuyan's hand to compare it, and the result was soon released. The signal was emitted from the ancient stone town.
"What did you find?" Tang Yuyan did not have the extraordinary vision as Xia Lei, but her intuition was very sensitive.
Xia Lei pointed ahead, "It seems there is a stone city there, and the signal is sent from there."
Tang Yuyan couldn't wait to snatch the electronic instrument from Xia Lei's hand. After comparison, she became excited, "It's there, let's go and have a look!"
Xia Lei did not move, "Our experts are here to be active. Will the people from the White Hun tribe be so peaceful?"
Tang Yuyan also calmed down and said, "Give me the sniper rifle, I will use the scope to see it. Damn, my telescope was also snatched away by those stinky women."
Xia Lei did not hand over the sniper rifle to Tang Yuyan, but took off the scope and handed it to her. This thing was just an ornament to him and was useless at all.
Tang Yuyan didn't say anything. She looked at the remains with the scope of the sniper rifle.
Xia Lei said in his heart: "This place has a strange atmosphere everywhere, but I don't know anything. I went over rashly. If the people from the White Hun tribe set up a trap there, wouldn't I fall into the trap? Wait... Why did I forget my father? He must know something. He left a note and after he arrived at the White Hun tribe..."
After his father Xia Changhe asked him to go to the White Hun tribe, he left the people around him, and then the Russian woman Yerena who sent the message met him.
Last night was actually the best opportunity to meet, but Tang Yuyan had a problem at that time and he couldn't leave at that time.
"Yu Yan, you observe here, I will observe somewhere else, and we will meet here in half an hour." Xia Lei quickly made a decision.
It's time to meet Yerena now.
Tang Yuyan thought for a while, "Okay, we will meet here in half an hour. If you find the people from the White Hun tribe, don't act rashly and avoid them."
"You are the same, be careful." Xia Lei also reminded him.
Tang Yuyan suddenly approached, gave Xia Lei a hug, and said in his ear: "Don't die, I'm still waiting to settle the score with you."
Xia Lei smiled. He actually knew what she wanted to settle. However, he didn't know how she would settle the bill with him for such a confused account.
Xia Lei soon disappeared into the dense forest behind him.
Tang Yuyan continued to observe the remains with the scope of the sniper rifle, but after looking at it, she suddenly remembered something, "Oh, his scope is still in my hand, he..." She turned around to look for Xia Lei, but she saw only a dense forest.
In the forest, Xia Lei was not fast. He moved carefully, making the sound of birds crying. He hoped to attract Yerena in this way.
About ten minutes later, Xia Lei's efforts finally received a response.
"Gogkuk..." A cuckoo-like cry came from one direction, and it was a female cuckoo.
Xia Lei heard the sound, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he followed him in that direction. While walking, his left eye jumped slightly, and everything in a large area was invisible. The ants crawling on the trunks, the birds on the branches, and the poisonous snakes lurking in the grass could not escape his eyes.
Soon, a woman entered his sight. It was Ye Liena, the assistant of his father Xia Changhe. She hid in a tree and carefully peeked at it. After he entered her sight, she slid down from the tree.
"I waited for you all night last night!" Ye Liena complained as soon as she saw Xia Lei: "You asked me to go out for a night, but you hugged that woman to sleep in that shack! If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't help but want to throw a grenade into that shack."
Xia Lei couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "I'm sorry, she's sick, I can't leave her."
Ye Lena sneered, "Are you enjoying the smell of holding her? You forgot me."
Xia Lei was speechless and his face was quietly filled with heat.
"Forget it, for your father's sake, I won't bother with you." Ye Lena reiterated, "What are your plans?"
"Save the trapped expert and retreat." Xia Lei did not hide anything, "Where is my dad?"
"You want to see him?"
"Of course, tell me where he is now?"
"I can't tell you that you are in danger now, and he has been in a very dangerous situation. Originally, he could still control the situation, but after you appeared, his situation became passive."
"What is his identity? What is your identity?" Xia Lei's emotions were a little out of control. He couldn't wait to figure out all this.
Ye Lena was slightly silent, "We are all free agents."
This statement is the same as Liang Siyao's original statement, but Xia Lei was unable to satisfy just such an answer. Such an answer also made Xia Lei feel anger in his heart, "Since he doesn't want to see me, why are you sending you to do? Are you chatting with me?"
Ye Liena looked straight at Xia Lei, "You are not a child in the rebellious period now. You should know your father's situation. He is your father. All he did is for you. Isn't this enough to make you understand him and forgive him?"
