I am a super cop

Chapter 2246 Crisis of Trust
"Buzz!"

Gu Chen felt his world spinning for a while, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

But when he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him seemed to be calm again.

Xu Youzhi still held a thick branch, slowly stretched it towards Gu Chen, and shouted at Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, grab the branch quickly, hurry up!"

Gu Chen was in a trance, and then realized that everything just now seemed to be his own fantasy.

But the current situation is the reality.

I saw Xu Youzhi kept urging, and the cracks in the soil between his arms were gradually widening.

It seems that there is a risk of collapse at any time.

The branch is right in front of you, should you grab it or not?Gu Chen suddenly fell into a tangle.

If everything that was imagined just now was something that was about to happen in reality, then if he grabbed this life-saving branch, he might have fallen into Xu Youzhi's trap.

Once Xu Youzhi let go of his hand deliberately during the climbing process, then he would die in a thousand calamities.

Falling into a cliff means a narrow escape.

And Xu Youzhi can completely use the branch to break and the rescue failed.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen began to struggle violently in his heart.

However, the soil between the arms has begun to loosen, and a lot of soil has begun to fall towards the bottom of the cliff.

Time, Gu Chen has no time to choose.

At this critical moment, Gu Chen could only desperately grab the thick branch.

"Whoa!"

At this moment, the soil that could support Gu Chen's arm suddenly shattered into many small pieces, and began to fall down the cliff continuously.

It took a long time for Gu Chen to hear the sound of falling stones.

"Officer Gu, hurry up." At this moment, Xu Youzhi clung to the other end of the thick branch, trying to pull Gu Chen up the cliff with all his strength.

Gu Chen looked at Xu Youzhi, struggling desperately, trying to improve his body.

"One, two, three, ah!" Xu Youzhi roared angrily, that is, under Xu Youzhi's force, Gu Chen felt an unprecedented stretching force.

It was also by virtue of this stretch that Gu Chen used both hands and feet to quickly climb forward.

Just as Gu Chen climbed up the cliff, the area where Gu Chen originally climbed suddenly began to break apart collectively.

Gu Chen took the opportunity to push his legs back, using the reaction force, and began to run forward.

At the same time, Xu Youzhi, who felt deeply that the situation was not good, also began to quickly retreat towards the rear.

The two cooperated tacitly, rolling and climbing together, and only then got rid of the danger of the cliff.

When they came to the side of the bamboo forest, the two of them grabbed a bamboo with both hands, and only then did they feel an unprecedented sense of security.

Breathing heavily, Xu Youzhi also asked Gu Chen, "Gu...Officer Gu, are you...are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Gu Chen shook his head and said calmly, "Xu Youzhi, you saved my life just now."

"It should be." Xu Youzhi was so tired that he was out of breath, he also waved his hand at Gu Chen, and then said again:

"You have fallen off the cliff, can I do nothing to save you?"

Hearing Xu Youzhi's remarks, Gu Chen also asked him tentatively: "But why did you choose to leave just now?"

"That's because I found that the soil began to break where your hands were pawing, and it couldn't bear my weight at all."

"If I advance rashly, then once the soil on the edge of the cliff breaks, then you and I will both fall off the cliff, and that will be dangerous."

After a pause, Xu Youzhi also wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, and then said again:
"So, I hurried to the bamboo forest, found a thick branch, and ran over to pull you up."

Listening to Xu Youzhi's explanation, Gu Chen felt that he might have wrongly blamed Xu Youzhi just now.

Perhaps Xu Youzhi just wanted to save himself, but the Xu Youzhi in his fantasy didn't seem to be like this at all.

"Could it be that my distrust of Xu Youzhi caused me to imagine Xu Youzhi as a bad person when I had fantasies?"

Gu Chen asked himself, feeling that he might be thinking too much.

Xu Youzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, then unscrewed the mineral water, gulped down two gulps, and then said:

"As I said earlier, this bamboo forest is quite strange. I have been here before, and I feel that this place is quite evil, so I have to leave immediately."

"You know, sometimes, even if you don't believe in those crooked theories, you have to be in awe."

"Anyway, many people have had troubles in this bamboo forest before. Just take the example just now. You walked to the edge of a cliff."

"Also, even you haven't realized it, you are actually on the verge of death."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Youzhi said again: "Fortunately, I found out, otherwise, you really have to explain your life today."

"Thank you." Faced with Xu Youzhi's complaints, Gu Chen also politely thanked him.

After all, just now Xu Youzhi took a huge risk to save himself. To be honest, Gu Chen owes him a favor.

It was expected that the two of them had kept a safe distance before, but suddenly, Xu Youzhi disappeared.

If he hadn't been anxious to find Xu Youzhi, he wouldn't have been careless and didn't know about the cliff under his feet.

So Gu Chen asked Xu Youzhi again: "By the way, Xu Youzhi, where did you go just now? Why didn't you disappear after I marked it?"

"I'm exploring the way." Xu Youzhi didn't dare to drink too much water, so he could only take back the mineral water bottle, and then said:
"I see that you have been dawdling behind, so I ran to the front to explore the way."

"However, after a while, I didn't see your figure."

"I was terrified at the time, so I quickly turned back and looked for you everywhere, only to realize that you fell on the edge of the cliff."

With a heavy sigh, Xu Youzhi also tremblingly said: "If you have something wrong, I really can't explain it, but fortunately there is no danger."

"Maybe I was careless." Thinking about the danger just now, it was completely caused by myself.

So Gu Chen said again: "Since this place is so dangerous, we must remind the follow-up troops, we must let the follow-up two teams know clearly, pay attention to the weeds under our feet, maybe they are the corners of the cliff."

Thinking of the remaining two teams, they would also go through the same path as me.

If someone is not careful, the same mistakes may be repeated.

Fortunately, there was some extra soil to support it just now, but now, due to the position of the corner of the cliff, a lot of soft soil was pulled off the cliff by Gu Chen just now.

"The current edge of the cliff will be even more dangerous."

"As long as someone goes the wrong way and steps into the grass, then, after losing his balance, he will inevitably roll to the bottom of the cliff."

Just now, Gu Chen had enough buffer, and now he had the chance to grab the life-saving straw on the edge of the cliff.

But now, the buffer area has fallen off the cliff. If the same thing happened to me just now, it will be close to death.

"No, everyone has to be marked, and they must not be allowed to enter the dangerous area."

"This is easy." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Xu Youzhi pointed his finger at Gu Chen.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked.

"Give me a rope, the longer the better."

Hearing Xu Youzhi's speech, he thought about the red strings in his pocket for marking.

So Gu Chen took out a few of them, spliced ​​them together, and handed them over to Xu Youzhi.

And Xu Youzhi began to tie the two sections of the red rope to the branches of the bamboo forest on both sides.

Afterwards, Xu Youzhi found some dry firewood with leaves and began to wrap it with red rope.

So it didn't take long for Xu Youzhi to complete the reminder board.

To put it simply, it is to tie the red rope outside the danger zone.

Then use some branches as cover, which can attract the attention of follow-up troops.

After completing these, Xu Youzhi directly took out his pocket knife, and prepared to leave a message on the branch for the latecomers.

But it was stopped by Gu Chen in time. Gu Chen took out his police dagger and reminded, "Leave this kind of thing to me."

"Okay, it's time to work." Seeing that Gu Chen was active in his work, Xu Youzhi didn't say anything.

Therefore, Gu Chen engraved the situation just now on the bamboo pole with short words.

After completing the operation, Gu Chen took two steps back and found that the street signs were more obvious, so he took a long breath and said, "That's all."

"Let's go, hurry up." Xu Youzhi, who was out of breath from exhaustion, still reminded Gu Chen that it was important to hurry.

After the series of events just now, Gu Chen felt that it was time for him to leave the bamboo forest.

So the two started walking together.

This time, the distance between Gu Chen and Xu Youzhi was kept quite close.

Looking at Xu Youzhi walking beside him, Gu Chen also doubted himself: "Could it be that I misjudged the person? Maybe this Xu Youzhi really has no malicious intentions."

If this is the case, then Gu Chen felt that he might have imagined Xu Youzhi as a treacherous person because of his high mental tension.

But after Xu Youzhi saved himself, Gu Chen's trust in Xu Youzhi began to increase slowly.

Seeing that they passed through a bamboo forest again, Gu Chen who was following behind Xu Youzhi said slowly:
"Xu Youzhi, what are you going to do when you find Hu Peng?"

"Ah?" It seemed that he was confused by Gu Chen's words and hadn't reacted yet.

So Xu Youzhi continued to ask: "What did you just say?"

"I said, if you find Hu Peng, what are you going to do?" Gu Chen continued.

Xu Youzhi sighed, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, finding him is also for the sake of his safety."

"Although I don't know why Hu Peng was targeted by some inexplicable people, but I trust your police."

"If you, the police, feel that something is wrong, then there must be something wrong. I just want to help and help more people, including Hu Peng."

Listening to Xu Youzhi's remarks, Gu Chen felt that Xu Youzhi should be a well-informed person.

At least he is a knowledgeable and insightful person. Gu Chen has already felt the complexity of the situation since talking with him.

Although Xu Youzhi is a waste collector, he spends time outdoors every day.

But even so, Xu Youzhi has a smart mind, which is completely different from others.

Perhaps it was because Xu Youzhi had a good personal relationship with Hu Peng, so Xu Youzhi spared no effort to help Hu Peng.

Not long after, Gu Chen found a plastic bottle again.

At this time, the plastic bottles are already empty, and the water source has been completely drunk.

Gu Chen pointed to a mineral water bottle by the side of the road and said, "This mineral water bottle must have been left by Hu Peng, right?"

"Let me see." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Xu Youzhi hurried over to find out.

After a while, Xu Youzhi nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "I've already seen it. Judging from the appearance of the mineral water bottle, it's our local mineral water."

"Local mineral water?" Gu Chen was a little puzzled.

But Xu Youzhi said unhurriedly: "It's normal, because the source of this brand of mineral water is to get water from the pond below the stream."

"And then go through some seemingly high-level, deep-level processing."

"Looking at the mineral water bottle on the ground, Xu Youzhi said again: "And I bought this bottle of mineral water for him. "

"You bought it for him again?" Hearing Xu Youzhi's words, it was hard for Gu Chen to imagine that this Xu Youzhi seemed to have a relationship with Hu Peng that was completely beyond everyone's imagination.

The two chatted while walking, seeing that the sky was getting dark, and walking in the sparse forest, they also started to turn on the flashlight and headlamp.

Seeing the garbage on the ground, it seems that it is starting to become more and more.

Gu Chen knew very well that Hu Peng might be nearby, and he was getting closer and closer to Hu Peng.

Maybe it won't be long before we can meet Hu Peng who has escaped.

Of course Gu Chen hoped that he could meet Hu Peng that night, but Gu Chen didn't give up on this idea.

"Officer Gu." While Gu Chen was in a daze, Xu Youzhi hurriedly reminded Gu Chen: "There must be a mark here. From here, it is a ridge line going down the mountain."

"On the other side, it's along the ridgeline at average elevation, and if you go the wrong way, it can be fatal."

"Understood." After understanding what Xu Youzhi meant, Gu Chen tied a red rope to a branch beside the road, and used a police dagger to carve the direction of the arrow under the red rope.

After completing the operation, Gu Chen found that Xu Youzhi was getting farther and farther away, and it seemed that he didn't want to wait for him at all.

Of course Gu Chen wouldn't argue with Xu Youzhi, but just now in the bamboo forest, that's how he got lost.

Thinking of Xu Youzhi walking through the woods, it seemed as if he was walking on flat ground.

Gu Chen felt that he couldn't let Xu Youzhi out of his sight, otherwise this smart guy might do some terrible things.

"Officer Gu, let's go." Seeing that Gu Chen was thinking, Xu Youzhi interrupted Gu Chen's thinking again.

Helpless, Gu Chen could only bite the bullet and continue to follow behind Xu Youzhi.

The two walked farther and farther, and the sky began to gradually dim.

At this moment, the two had come to a high place on a hill.

Xu Youzhi motioned Gu Chen to stop, while he hurried to the top of the mountain to observe the movement in the mountain.

Especially observe the place with light, the place with light may be Hu Peng's camp, so you need to be extra cautious.
