Chapter 95 Finding Traces
Both of them chose to take the initiative, and both of them seemed to choose to search counterclockwise.
Chengcai was as familiar with the terrain along the way as possible, while Xiao Chen did tactical avoidance along the way. Not only did the two people not get close, but they were a little bit wider. Only after an hour did Xiao Chen discover a brand new rut.
Finding the other person's trace through tire marks is not a violation.
Even during actual combat, the movement of troops will leave traces.
It is impossible for experienced scouts to erase all traces during a rapid march.
Xiao Chen can find a car print to send Chengcai, and Chengcai can do this too. It’s just that the two people choose different directions, and luck is on Xiao Chen’s side.
Swimming near the rut, Xiao Chen began to track it carefully.
If Chengcai really wants to run for an hour, it doesn’t make sense to determine his range of motion. This area with a diameter of ten kilometers can reach the end of Chengcai no matter which direction it is.
Judging the intention of Chengcai’s intention after getting off the car and some traces that can be found.
This is Xiao Chen's purpose.
If Chengcai had been staying there, Xiao Chen would naturally not have to work so hard to continue looking for it.
Chengcai got off the bus and was about a hundred meters wide.
Imagine that there was a sniper staring at this place five hundred meters away. Xiao Chen thought about it and thought that the best way was not to demand close investigation, bypass this flat land, and detour from the continuous hillsides not far away.
The 85th sniper's initial velocity is over 800 meters. As long as it is locked, it will be a blink of an eye.
Xiao Chen didn't feel that he could play positioning with sniper rifles on the ground without obstacles through tactical evasion. This is not a game, this is a battle.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Chen directly secretly walked around this area with his inner thoughts. Although he needed to walk nearly 700 meters more, it was worth it.
This is the key suspect area for Chengcai to hide, and Xiao Chen is more careful in every move.
Good physical fitness supported him to come to a deep ditch. Xiao Chen felt a little over an hour of high-intensity exercise. He decided to take advantage of his current position to replenish energy first.
On this grassland, there are many weeds, the most common edible plant. Xiao Chen studied it carefully as early as the recruit company.
Although she avoided possible threats along the way, Xiao Chen was not idle either. The undefeated grass, wild saffron tips, chicory leaves, ferns... were filled with a full bag in Xiao Chen's pocket.
He did not pick and choose, but just wiped the soil on these plants with his hands. Xiao Chen threw it directly into his mouth and carefully experienced the unique flavor of these foods.
Both vegetation and fern are rich in starch, while wild alfalfa tips and chicory leaves are rich in protein, fat and vitamins. This bag of food is completely enough for Xiao Chen to replenish his energy in an extremely difficult environment.
The slight sweetness of fern and the bitterness of chicory leaves are a kind of unspeakable taste.
But Xiao Chen enjoyed it.
In a sense, he has been able to abandon some of his own habits and accept this difficult life. When his ideals come into reality, there will always be some difficulties to be overcome, and the most difficult thing is often something that he often encounters in daily life and is used to forgetting.
After eating, there was an unspeakable smell of grass in my mouth.
But Xiao Chen had no intention of continuing to search.
Physical energy needs to be restored, and the sun is already strong enough at this time. If you continue to run like this, the loss of salt and moisture will cause a rapid decline in physical energy. Once you encounter it at that time, Xiao Chen is not sure to win.
The sun in the north will be particularly cool when it cannot shine on your body.
This deep trench can be simply trimmed with the help of an engineer shovel to create a hiding place similar to a cat's ear piercing.
This cat lasted for three hours.
After three hours, Chengcai searched all the way from 7:00 to 11:00 in the fifth shift of the Red Third Company.
But nothing was found.
Chengcai knew that Xiao Chen was probably on the other side area that he had never looked for.
But at this moment he was a little tired.
He had eaten too, but he couldn't resist the sun at noon for three hours. The loss of physical energy was not something he ate could replenish, not to mention the salt discharged from sweat.
This thing is not so easy to replenish, and if there is a lack of salt, it will definitely cause fatigue.
Chengcai regretted why he wanted to find Xiao Chen so eagerly and kill him.
If I were in the scorching sun and could rest for an hour under the rock I passed by at the beginning, I wouldn't have been like this now.
However, it is not too late to repair the sheep. According to experience, in another hour and a half, the sun will not be so troubled. Now I find a place to rest, and the strong feeling of fatigue will subside in an hour and a half.
Unfortunately, Chengcai didn't know that Xiao Chen had already started his action again after three hours of rest than him.
Grass has the ability to repair, so there will be no obvious footprints of success on the grassland.
But a fully armed adult weighs at least 80 kilograms. No matter how powerful the recovery ability is, it will not be able to recover in just over three hours in such hot weather.
You can still see the traces that should be found after careful observation.
The footprints of Chengcai found by Xiao Chen were not very large at the beginning, but the footprints were already very blurry and could hardly be identified, so Xiao Chen concluded that this was at least more than two hours.
Xiao Chen was very fast.
He found that the search method of Chengcai seemed to be somewhat similar to that of himself, but Chengcai was far less cautious than himself.
The grass under the footprints was only traces of being trampled, but it was not crushed, which means that Chengcai's observation angle was no more than 230 degrees. To put it bluntly, Chengcai had no detours at least during this journey.
Since he found that Chengcai had no chance of taking advantage of his own way out, Xiao Chen naturally had to chase him.
The conscious pursuit naturally became much faster. Looking at the increasingly clearer traces, Xiao Chen's mouth showed a confident smile.
Of course, confidence is getting stronger and more vigilant is getting stronger. Although there are fewer tactical avoidance movements, there is no regularity in running speed. Chengcai is also afraid of being impolite and the route he chose is very clever.
Xiao Chen only needs to master the speed of his own movement to protect himself.
In the distance, Bai Tiejun began to complain:
"What's Lao Xiao doing? Why did he run away like a rabbit? Where did he just hide in the ditch and hide in the shade?"
