There was no satellite navigation in this era. Although they had maps in their hands, they could not guarantee that there would be no deviations because there were no reference objects around them.

If you go the wrong way, in the deep mountains and old forests, you will become incapacitated.

Do we need to retrace our steps?

Xiong Zhan and Jiao Mujiao looked at Zhang Xuebing at the same time, trying to read the answer on his face.

Zhang Xuebing also smiled bitterly and said, "Now, in addition to returning the same way, we can only make a mark first, and then walk forward for a while. If we can no longer see the main road, then we can only go back!"

At this moment, there is no other way but to try this method. If you are lucky, you can find the original path.

Jiaomujiao got out of the car and used a machete to cut off the bark of a few trees, revealing large areas of white gray that were very conspicuous, making an obvious mark.

Then Xiong Zhan continued to drive forward until Zhang Xuebing looked at the time on his watch and called a stop.

There was still a narrow path under their feet, and there was still a vast sea of ​​forest all around them. They had not yet passed through this dense forest.

They jumped out of the car and looked around. They could not see the edge of the dense forest at all. They seemed to be in the middle of the forest sea. The boundless forest was like the waves of the deep sea, and their small car was like a lost boat floating in the water.

Sad looks appeared on the faces of the three people at the same time. After looking at each other for a while, there was only one way left, which was to return the same way.

】

Seeing the light coming from the woods gradually dimming, Zhang Xuebing knew that the night was coming, and there must be countless dangers in the dense forest at night, so he immediately made a decision and said in a deep voice.

"Go back the way we came, and pay careful attention to the forks in the road. We will definitely be able to return to the Great Lake!"

The vehicle restarted, turned around, and drove down the road it came from.

Gradually, the last bit of light in the forest was swallowed up by the darkness, leaving only the brightness of the car lights still tearing through the darkness of the road ahead.

It has been six hours since the three of them took turns driving, and the hour hand on the watch also points to eleven o'clock.

However, after such a long journey, they neither came out of the dense forest nor returned to the big lake.

Xiong Zhan, who was driving, slowly stopped the car, patted the steering wheel angrily and said, "No gas..."

The car carried two spare oil barrels. They had been refilled a few hours ago, and now only the last barrel was left. If the barrel of oil ran out, they would have to get off the car and walk.

Xiong Zhan carried the oil drum to refuel, and Zhang Xuebing came under the car and carefully observed the road under his feet.

He found that there were no wheel marks at all on the path in front of him.

Since it has not snowed for half a day, if they walked on this road, they would definitely leave wheel marks and it would not be covered by snow.

So the only explanation now is that they have never walked this road.

After Xiong Zhan filled up the tank, Zhang Xuebing expressed his opinion to the two of them.

Jiaomu Jiao said in a deep voice, "There is too much snow in the forest, covering the road in many places, so we can't find the original road at all. Now we can only wait for dawn, hoping to see wheel marks by then!"

Zhang Xuebing smiled bitterly and said, "We still have to hope it doesn't snow, otherwise..."

The three of them got on the bus again, simply ate some dry food they had brought with them, and began to rest.

For safety reasons, they can only sleep in three shifts, with each person staying on duty for two hours.

Moreover, there was not much gasoline, so I didn’t dare to turn on the hot air, so I could only cover myself with something to preserve body temperature.

Zhang Xuebing didn't want to waste his precious rest time, so he wrapped his coat tightly, fell into the back seat and fell asleep immediately.

While he was dazed, Zhang Xuebing seemed to see someone waving to him from under the car, who looked very familiar.

He got out of the car inexplicably and found that the person was Xiao Chenchen, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The two hadn't seen each other for nearly half a month, so Zhang Xuebing naturally missed her very much, so he stepped forward to hold her in his arms to be tender.

But Xiao Chenchen pushed him away with a cold face, and Zhang Xuebing was puzzled. He only heard the other party say, "You don't come to the capital to see me after I've been gone for so long. You bastard, you must be tired of the old!"

To be honest, during this period of time, Zhang Xuebing was almost busy and had no time to think about anything else. During this period, he called Xiao Chenchen countless times, and most of them couldn't get through.

Even if he got through, Xiao Chenchen would only talk perfunctorily every time he called her, not talking about the situation in the capital at all.

Originally, Zhang Xuebing planned to go to the capital to see the other party's situation in person after returning from Screw Country. Even if she wanted to break up, he would have to meet and explain things clearly.

Being pushed away by Xiao Chenchen, Zhang Xuebing felt inexplicably angry and said anxiously.

"I miss you every day. If you don't believe me, I will give you my heart!"

As he spoke, he suddenly took a few steps forward, looked at each other, and pulled open his coat to expose his chest to the cold night wind.

Xiao Chenchen's expression instantly softened, and she scolded, "Idiot, don't catch a cold in such a cold weather!"

Zhang Xuebing knew that she had softened her heart and immediately came forward to hug her, but was pushed away again.

I heard a rich man's voice next to my ear, "Boss, wake up, wake up quickly!"

It turned out to be a dream. Zhang Xuebing opened his eyes with excitement and saw that the person in front of him was Xiong Zhan. He stretched out his arms and kept shaking himself. It seemed that he had been shaking for a while.

Could there be some danger? Zhang Xuebing asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

Xiong Zhan pointed out the car window and said, "Brother Jiaomujiao should be on night duty now. I woke up and found that we were alone in the car, and there was no one outside the car. At first, I thought he got off the car to go to the toilet, but after waiting for half a

He hasn’t been back for hours, he’s missing!”

Zhang Xuebing's scalp suddenly felt numb. Jiao Mujiao was an experienced scout in jungle warfare and would never make stupid mistakes. Was he really in danger, or were they all in danger?

As the car door opened, a cold wind carried fine snowflakes into the car, making people shiver. Zhang Xuebing shrank his neck and said.

"Jiaomu Jiao is not an innumerable person. Something must have happened just now. Old Xiong, we must find him no matter what!"

Xiong Zhan held the shotgun in his hand and said, "We can't separate now. It's only the middle of the night, and it's still early before dawn. Let's look for him nearby, and we must not stay away from the car!"

Zhang Xuebing nodded and got out of the car with him. This was no longer a country, so there were no worries. They both loaded their weapons, held machetes and flashlights in their hands, and began to follow the footprints on the path in front of them.

The night was dark, the forest was dense, and it was almost impossible to see. Fortunately, their flashlights were specially prepared military flashlights. The bright beam of light illuminated the front clearly.

The white snow on the ground also reflects the flashlight light, making the world a little brighter.

The two followed the footprints on the snow and walked for nearly 500 meters, but still did not see the Jiaomu Jiao.
