Hearing this, Daryl cast his gaze forward again. This was an open space of hundreds of square meters. The rest of the area was more or less covered by tree crowns, resulting in insufficient light. However, there were no trees here. Under direct sunlight, The grass is extremely dense. Although the weather has turned cold, the grass has not withered. The most lush areas can even reach the height of a person.

However, at this time, the grass in this open space was all tilted in all directions, as if being bent by a thug.

"This is?"

"Helicopter."

Lu Jiayi looked at this familiar scene and couldn't help but think of something that worried him very much. Maybe the CRM people had really discovered them.

After all, among the forces he was familiar with, they were the only ones with the strength to send helicopters. What he needed to worry about now was, who was taken away, or was it Glenn and the others who forced the other side back with weapons, and each side gave in?

There was no hesitation for too long. It was impossible to deduce what exactly happened based on the current clues. The most important thing now was to find the survivors who escaped in order to get more information from them.

Suppressing the faint uneasiness in their hearts, the two of them continued to follow the traces.

Another half hour passed.

"Shasha... Lu, we found them."

"Where?"

Two hours later, everyone gathered together again. The first thing that caught their eyes was Glenn's thin body. He was very easy to recognize with his hat on.

But at this time, Glenn looked very embarrassed, with black and red blood everywhere on his body, and a hole scratched on his leg. His fair thighs were looming, and the rifle hanging around his neck was crooked, leaning against his back. Resting in an armored vehicle.

The rest of the people also looked miserable. BIG, who was holding a long bow, had black mud on his face. At first glance, he looked more like a walking corpse than a walking corpse.

The more than 50 survivors in the highland community were in much better condition, but they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale. A few women even under such circumstances just huddled in the corner with their children and did not dare to get up. .

However, there were a few people who looked equally dirty, and one of them held a machete in his hand. The red and black color on the blade told the others that they were all involved in the battle.

Glenn was a little exhausted. He had his eyes closed at the moment and was holding a bottle of water in his hand and pouring it into his mouth.

He finally opened his eyes when he heard footsteps, and the first thing he saw was Lu Jiayi walking towards him.

"You're okay, that's great!"

Standing up and hugging Lu Jiayi, Daryl just nodded to him, which was already a sign of his closeness.

"Lu! Our people have been captured."

Before he let go, Glenn's anxious voice could be heard in his ears.

Lu Jiayi had already been mentally prepared for this matter, so Lu Jiayi told him not to be anxious and speak slowly.

Glenn also realized that what he said was too general. He took two more sips of water and then spoke slowly.

"Lu, Leon was captured. The other party has a helicopter and he is from that organization."

Lu Jiayi knew very well who he was talking about, but he still didn't believe that CRM could find this place. If it was really the behavior of the other party's entire organization, then none of the people like Glenn would survive.

"Tell me more about it. When did you meet each other? How many people are there?"

Glenn tried hard to remember what happened last night, and it took him a long time to organize his words.

"Not long after you contacted me last night, we changed roads. We drove for about ten minutes. Suddenly we heard something hitting the car, and then there was no movement. We drove all the way for twenty minutes, and then the bus The car ran out of gas, and when I got out of the car and checked, I discovered that the gas tank was leaking.”

At this point his expression became a little angry, and it was obvious that they were attacked next.

"Because it was the middle of the night and the visibility was not good, even if we turned on the infrared equipment, no one was found, and we didn't know exactly where we were driving at that time. Leon and I discussed it and planned to take everyone back on foot. We were afraid of previous attacks. Our people are chasing us.”

"In the end, we decided to walk along the edge of the woods, so that at least we would not be easily discovered. Unexpectedly, those people had been waiting in front of us. They kidnapped Leon while we were not paying attention. I found out and chased after them with the others. Finally, after they I found it there, but the plane had already taken off and I only had time to see a shadow.”

"But those are the only ones using helicopters, aren't they? Last time we killed a team of them, these people must be here for revenge, Lu, we have to find them as soon as possible!"

After listening, Lu Jiayi couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The team that killed CRM last time was just because the other party was chasing them. After killing a few people, they almost left without stopping. They originally thought that the other party would not be able to find them.

The most important thing is that Franco, who previously defected from CRM, said that as far as he knows, the other party does not have satellite monitoring methods, at least they can only have access to satellite phones.

Assuming that it was CRM who attacked them this time, it means that their base has probably been exposed. With the skills of this organization, those who dare to resist will most likely be killed. CRM pays great attention to confidentiality.

The mere fact that he might know about their existence is already a reason to kill himself, let alone kill their people.

But the base is currently safe and sound.

Either they just arrived here and haven't found themselves yet, or these people are from another force. It may be that Glenn happened to pass by them, and these people got greedy. However, because all their luggage was not around, they found that there was no In any situation of oil and water, they chose to arrest a person and go back to find out more before taking action.

If it's the former, then they are facing the biggest crisis since the apocalypse broke out in Ideal Town, but if it's the latter, then they are safe because Leon, who was captured, knows nothing about the situation in Ideal Town.

The first task now is to find out the identity of the other party.

"Rick, Daryl, BIG, follow me. Michonne, you are responsible for taking everyone back to the base. Be careful on the way."

"I'll go with you"

Glenn had eaten a little and had recovered a lot now. He had been worried about Leon's safety. Seeing that Lu Jiayi obviously wanted to go back, he also stepped forward and wanted to go with him.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Lu Jiayi did not stop him. As soon as the five people got in the car, they saw Wells coming with people from a distance. More than a dozen cars drove over in a hurry, picked up these people and left quickly.

Saying goodbye to the large army, the five people drove all the way along the highway towards the place where Glenn and the others were attacked.

The car drove very fast and arrived nearby in only ten minutes.

"I can't remember clearly, it was probably around here. I remember I passed an intersection and drove for a while before hearing the crash."

Glenn tried hard to recall what happened last night, but in the pitch darkness outside, he couldn't recall many details.

Seeing this, Lu Jiayi simply accelerated forward, and within a minute, he saw the intersection.

"This is it. This is the intersection. I paid attention to this sign at the time."

Now that the reference object was found, the next step was easy. It took almost no effort to find the place where they were ambushed.

"Follow me and Daryl and watch your surroundings."

After walking into the woods, Lu Jiayi and Daryl separated to the left and right, and found some clues in an open space in the woods with almost no effort.

Atlanta has a tropical humid climate, and there are rarely particularly cold times even in winter. The average temperature throughout the year is around 17 or 18 degrees Celsius, and there is abundant rain, so it is not particularly cold in winter.

This also makes Atlanta covered with a large amount of vegetation, and the trees have grown extremely tall over the years.

The dense tree canopy blocked the sun like an umbrella. The five people moved forward cautiously. Glenn and BIG held a wooden stick picked up from nowhere in their left and right hands, and kept fiddling with the shrubs on both sides.

"Hiss."

Daryl, who was exploring the road ahead, suddenly stopped and stared at a place for a long time before hissing behind him.

Lu Jiayi was the first to approach, and sure enough he saw a series of obscure traces of human activity on the ground, and couldn't help but squat down and take a look.

"There are at least three people with traces on both sides. Let's look forward."

Following intermittent traces along the way, the five of them walked in the woods for a full hour.

Finally, Huangtian paid off.

It turned out to be a wooden house.

It seems to be a forest guard's wooden house, built entirely of logs. It is more like an enlarged version of a wilderness survival shelter than a house.

The house has no windows, and the roof is paved with grass leaves. If it weren't for the fact that there were two pieces of clothing hanging outside the house, everyone would have doubted whether anyone really lived here.

Lu Jiayi found a relatively secluded depression, which was a few hundred meters away from the wooden house. He asked a few people to sit there and rest quietly, while he himself found another place that was more conducive to observation.

I heard Franco say that CRM soldiers will be equipped with thermal imaging equipment. Although they will not use it all the time, they must be on guard.

He immediately set up the monitoring equipment, then found some bushes and used twigs to disguise himself, with only a pair of eyes showing on his face.

"Show me who you are."

He shrank his body to hide himself more completely, but his eyes did not leave the wooden house for a second.

Just now, he just took a rough look at the surrounding environment. Now that he finally calmed down, Lu Jiayi also took a closer look at the situation around the wooden house.

Through the telescope, the details of the wooden house were clearly visible. It was only now that Lu Jiayi noticed that the logs used to build the wooden house looked very new. In order to guard against the walking corpses in the woods, these people arranged a circle of barriers around the wooden house, leaving only the main entrance. There was a very small entrance, and a wooden box more than one meter high was blocked there, just sealing the entrance.

Several walking corpses were trapped immediately. The spikes were deeply stuck in their bones, making them unable to move. As these brainless guys struggled unconsciously, the spikes got stuck deeper and deeper. Two of them had even been pierced through their bodies, with thick wooden spikes protruding from their backs.

There is a cleared open space outside the yard, covering an area of ​​three to four hundred square meters. There is a dilapidated-looking car parked in the corner of the open space. Everything looks so ordinary, even if you follow it all the way, you will not notice it. I can believe that a group of people lived here and captured Leon.

At most, it feels like this is a survival hut built by someone who likes hunting before the end of the world.

But other than that, the wooden house can be said to be very simple. If the actual situation was only what he saw, then the number of people on the other side would not exceed seven or eight, which was the limit.

It was now past ten o'clock in the morning, and he didn't feel sleepy at all after not sleeping all night. Instead, he felt more and more excited.

In an instant, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was on a mission. At that time, it was common for him to lie in a hidden spot for days and nights during reconnaissance missions. Ever since he traveled to The Walking Dead, he rarely encountered such situations that required him to take action personally. , most of them are just killing some walking zombies which is not challenging at all.

Daryl and the others were wearing zombie masks on their heads at this time, and they were also communicating in a low voice.

"Glenn, you and Rick take a nap while BIG and I are on guard first."

"Forget it, I can't sleep, so I'll be on guard while you and Rick take a rest."

Time passed slowly like this. After about an hour, there was finally movement in the wooden house in the distance. Lu Jiayi put away the telescope and put his right eye to the scope of the sniper rifle.

The door of the wooden house was pushed open with a creak, and a bald man walked out with a gun on his back. This man had muscular bodies and was wearing a gray vest, but he was a little far away and his face could not be seen clearly.

The big man seemed to be very cautious. He carefully observed the surroundings until he felt that there was no danger. Then he walked to a trapped walking corpse on the edge of the yard. This walking corpse was obviously a female before he was alive. It was no longer obvious that he was wearing a pair of clothes. Wearing a long skirt with a base color, she was sobbing and trying hard to wave her arms towards the big man, opening and closing her mouth.

The big man looked at it for a while, then suddenly pulled out a machete with a chuckle, and cut off the two waving arms in two swipes. Then he carefully used the tip of the knife to make a few cuts at the corners of the zombie's mouth, and the sharp blade cut the flesh and blood. The zombie who lost his arm still kept opening his mouth, trying to tear off a piece of flesh and blood from the big man, but he opened the wound at the corner of his mouth, looking like a clown from a distance.

The big man's bad taste was satisfied and he let out a loud laugh. Then he took off his belt and peed on the walking corpse.

After solving his personal problem, the big man shivered comfortably and walked into the wooden house again.

There was a sound of footsteps in Lu Jiayi's headphones, and then it became quiet, as if there was no one in the wooden house.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Lu Jiayi gradually felt that something was not right. According to the behavior of the person just now, he couldn't be so quiet, right?

Even if he was the only one in the room, there should be some movement. Could it be that he lay down and stopped moving as soon as he entered the room? Is this possible?

Just in case, Lu Jiayi continued to wait for half an hour, and the time came to noon.

Listening to the various noises collected by the monitoring equipment, but there was no movement in the cabin, he carefully stepped back.

"How about it?"

As soon as he reached the edge of the slope, Glenn spotted him. He put away the gun in his hand, his eyes shining with expectation.

Sighing, Lu Jiayi shook his head slightly.

When Glenn saw this, he thought he hadn't noticed and looked disappointed. He really wanted to save Leon, not only because the other party was a doctor, but mainly because this young man liked him very much and was a very optimistic and kind-hearted guy.

Seeing that Glenn had misunderstood him, Lu Jiayi sat directly on the ground and explained.

"There is someone in the house, but strangely, no sound can be heard."

"What do you mean? Maybe they were asleep? Or just not talking?"

Rick fell asleep for a while and felt much more comfortable. He patted BIG awake, who was still catching up on his sleep, and spoke at the same time.

Lu Jiayi also explained in detail what he saw and heard, and also expressed his doubts.

"Could it be that they haven't come back yet and he is the only one here?"

After listening to his words, Daryl frowned and put forward his guess.

Lu Jiayi nodded when he heard this.

"It's not impossible, but I stayed there for almost two hours, but there was no sound at all in the room. Either the other party is well-trained, or it can only be what you said."

"What to do next? Let's just rush over and catch him."

BIG grabbed the long bow in his hand and looked at the few people expectantly.

"No, he has a gun in his hand, and I see that he is definitely trained in his vigilance. We will continue to wait. If there is no movement by this time tomorrow, we will consider whether to arrest people directly, otherwise we will only alert the enemy."

The five people returned to the road, drove to another road slightly closer to the wooden house, then drove the car along the gap in the forest, and stopped just over 200 meters away from the wooden house.

Lu Jiayi quickly disguised the car, and then the few people quietly began to squat.

The waiting time was the slowest. All five people had not slept all night, and gradually began to take turns to rest.

The time came that evening.

Da da da da~

There was a faint sound of helicopters in the sky, and Daryl, who was on duty, woke up several people immediately.

The sound got louder and louder, but the canopy of trees above was too dense to see clearly what was happening in the sky.

Fortunately, only a few minutes later, a few beams of light hit the ground above the open space in the distance, illuminating the surroundings of the wooden house. The wind pressure brought by the propeller blew the weeds close to the ground, and the inside of the wooden house was also bright. There was an orange light, and during the day the big man walked out of the wooden house wearing a coat whose color could not be seen clearly.

The helicopter stopped steadily in the open space, and then a few people stepped down from it. Lu Jiayi observed these people through the telescope. Because of the backlight, many details could not be seen clearly. All he could know was that a total of people stepped down. Five people.

After they all walked into the wooden house, the helicopter left, and the surroundings quickly returned to the previous silence. The only difference was that there were many scattered zombies roaring around.

They all walked towards the wooden house, but were stopped by the horses outside, but they still moved forward stupidly. Struggling.

On the Humvee, all five people stared intently at the movement in the distance. It wasn't until the helicopter left that Glenn gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

"Lu, it's them, I know that helicopter!"
