I am a super cop

Chapter 2671 Low-level Error
It seemed that Xu Enping was not very reliable, but since he was introduced by Jiang Xiaomi and he originally came to help, Lu Weiwei couldn't say anything.

But I always feel that this guide seems a little slow in thinking.

Like many older explorers, their memory is declining.

Isn’t it said that outdoor adventures are now dominated by young people?
Generally speaking, older explorers are really lacking in physical strength.

Under the leadership of Xu Enping, everyone started moving towards the fork in the road.

But at this time, Xu Enping's experience came in handy.

He used some previous road signs as guidance and quickly determined which way to go.

Since these roads have long been covered with plants, it is important to find the route.

"Hey, hey, hey." Xu Enping kept waving the machete in his hand. He held the weeds with his gloved left hand and swung the machete with his right hand to clear the way. Soon, the weeds blocking the road were cleared.

Pointing to a severely faded ribbon in front of him, Xu Enping said, "See? I tied that ribbon myself."

Speaking of this, Xu Enping seemed quite proud.

But Gu Chen frowned and said, "The road here doesn't look like anyone has been here before."

"This also means that the person we are looking for may not have passed through here."

"Uh……"

Gu Chen's words instantly calmed Xu Enping, who was quite excited just now.

He scratched his head and replied affirmatively: "It seems so, but it doesn't matter, it's not a problem."

"Maybe they went there from the other direction, because there is more than one way to this side."

"Because I have taken this route before, I am quite familiar with it. If I were to give up the familiar route and take an unfamiliar one, it would be very risky."

"But if you just want to get there, then just follow me."

Gu Chen felt that what Xu Enping said made some sense. No matter which road they took, as long as they could reach the cave entrance, that was the ultimate goal.

So everyone continued to follow Xu Enping forward.

During this process, Xu Enping also continued to share with everyone his outdoor hiking experiences over the years.

Everyone kept chatting like this, and finally we could see the entrance to the cave at the foot of the mountain.

"Look, that's the entrance to the cave, right?" Lu Weiwei said, pointing to the entrance.

Xu Enping squinted his eyes and nodded, "Yes, that's the location."

"The last time I came here, I brought five or six people with me. We didn't bring any caving equipment, so we could only use red silk to explore the way."

"So, no one dared to enter the cave and could only take a few photos at the entrance of the cave."

"Later, these photos became our magic weapon to show off in the outdoor group."

Speaking of this, Xu Enping was also very proud and complained to everyone.

The other three young guides also echoed and smiled.

Everyone seemed to have returned to the time when they were exploring the cave, talking and laughing.

But when everyone arrived at the cave entrance, they found that it was very cool and there was a cool breeze at the cave entrance, which was in stark contrast to the hot and humid weather outside.

Gu Chen also quickly judged and said: "This hole should be connected to another hole, so it can be ventilated here."

"Yes." Officer Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "It's really hot outside, but it's very cool at the entrance of the cave."

"It's really nice to come here to escape the heat in the summer, but this cave has not been developed by anyone."

"Have you brought everything?" What Gu Chen is concerned about now is whether he can get in.

Xu Enping took a quick look at the equipment in everyone's hands, nodded silently, and said without hesitation:
"There is no problem with the stuff. It can support us to walk a certain distance inside."

"But I don't know what's going on inside. I have to go in first to find out."

"Could there be any mysterious creatures?" Lu Weiwei also had a sudden thought.

A young guide smiled and said: "You never know, maybe there are giant pythons hidden in there that you have never seen before."

"After all, it's such a hot day, and pythons are quite afraid of the heat. It makes sense for them to hide inside to escape the heat, right?"

"Oh my god, don't scare me." Lu Weiwei's heart skipped a beat when she heard that there might be a giant python hiding in the cave.

At the same time, Gu Chen was also looking for clues around the cave.

But Gu Chen soon discovered that there were not only some footprints left by everyone, but also new footprints left by another group of people.

"Someone has been here recently." Gu Chen squatted down and said, looking at some new footprints in front of him.

Seeing this, Yuan Shasha hurried over to take a look and said without hesitation: "It seems that he stayed here in the past few days. He should have come from another route."

"It should have come from that route over there." Gu Chen said, pointing to the source of the footprints.

Xu Enping quickly took two steps forward, observed the footprints on the ground, then looked up and said:

"Yes, there seems to be a road over there, but it is definitely not the road we have taken. It may also be a new road discovered by other outdoor teams."

At this point, Xu Enping was about to go over to take a look, but was soon stopped by Gu Chen: "Mr. Xu, wait a moment, we will go with you."

"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen say this, Xu Enping didn't want to say anything else.

Everyone immediately picked up the tools in their hands. Officer Wang took the machete that Xu Enping had used to clear the way. Everyone walked forward cautiously, but they found that someone had obviously tied some blue strips here.

"Pioneer Outdoor?" Gu Chen blurted out based on the words on the blue cloth.

Then he remembered Jiang Xiaomi's introduction to him, and suddenly realized: "Yes, this pioneer is the two people we are looking for."

"They are Pioneer Outdoor, that's right."

"What a coincidence?" Seeing Gu Chen was so sure, Officer Wang hesitated and said:
"So, this Pioneer Outdoor has really been here, and Xu Yaxuan might really be their client?"

"It's not clear yet." Gu Chen looked around and said without hesitation:
"After all, when the old lady saw him in the mountains, there was only someone like Xu Yaxuan."

"If it was a group of people, then Xu Yaxuan wouldn't have had to run so hastily, which means that the two guides at the time might not have been with her."

"That's right." Seeing Gu Chen say this, Lu Weiwei also echoed:
"I feel like Xu Yaxuan might have some issues with these two people, which is why Xu Yaxuan is left alone."

Looking down at the footprints on the ground, Lu Weiwei said, "Moreover, these footprints are the latest, which means Xu Yaxuan and the two guides may have entered the cave."

"Let's take a look at the situation first." Gu Chen looked at the footprints on the ground and sighed.

After all, the cave in front of them seemed to be able to bring everyone the answers they wanted, but at the same time, there were great risks in entering the cave.

No one knows what is inside the cave. After all, this is an undeveloped cave in the wilderness. Entering it rashly would be very risky.

Gu Chen and his companions observed the cave for a long time before deciding: "We can advance gradually in a patrolling manner and slowly enter the cave." "Because the roads in the cave are mostly made of rocks, the traces of footprints will not be very obvious."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen reminded again and again: "We don't have to have everyone go in, we can leave some people outside to support."

Turning his head to look at the four guides, Gu Chen said again: "You guys..."

"Of course we have to go in." Before Gu Chen finished speaking, a young guide stood up and said:

"We have brought all the equipment here. It would be unreasonable if we don't go in."

"Okay, then you come in with us." Gu Chen said.

After some negotiation at the entrance of the cave, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha prepared to follow the four guides in.

Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, Ji Zhe and others stayed outside the cave entrance, ready to pick everyone up at any time.

After discussing the situation, everyone decided to bring notebooks and start exploring the cave in the most primitive way.

Since there is no signal at all inside the cave, a hand-drawn map would be a good choice.

Moreover, Xu Enping had some experience in exploring routes and brought several functional ropes with him.

He came up to the crowd, threw a green rope on the ground, and explained:

"This green rope is 10 meters long."

"We can use this rope to find out the distance when we enter the cave."

"Okay." Seeing Xu Enping say this, Gu Chen reminded Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha:
"Senior Sister Lu, Xiao Yuan, you two are responsible for measuring the distance."

"No problem." The two responded in unison.

Then Gu Chen found another young guide and said, "You are responsible for being at the back. You follow whoever is measuring at the back."

"I understand." After Gu Chen said this, the young guide also expressed his understanding.

Afterwards, Gu Chen and Officer Wang, as well as Xu Enping and two other young guides, began to explore the way ahead.

Everyone was carrying weapons in case of any emergency.

For an unknown cave like this one hidden in the mountains, which has existed for many years, no one can tell what kind of mysterious creatures live inside?

But what Gu Chen couldn't understand the most was why Xu Yaxuan came to such a place? And why did he come to this cave?
If Xu Yaxuan really went into the cave with these two pioneer outdoor guides, what did she want to do? Or did she have a very important secret in the cave?

These problems, like mountains, weighed down on Gu Chen's head.

If you want to understand what's going on, you have to go deep into the cave.

So Gu Chen started walking in front with Xu Enping.

The cave is big enough, and there are some streams flowing out of it.

It is very quiet in the cave, so any movement will be magnified infinitely.

The movement of flowing water is the biggest source of sound here.

Gu Chen suddenly stopped, shone a strong flashlight around, turned his head to look at Lu Weiwei behind him, and asked, "Senior Sister Lu, how many meters have we walked?"

"Probably...more than three hundred meters." Lu Weiwei said.

"Only more than 300 meters? Why does it feel like we've been walking for a long time?" Officer Wang also felt it was a bit mysterious when he heard it.

After all, everyone walked in a quiet and dark space for a long time.

But when I calculated it, it was only more than three hundred meters.

Gu Chen squatted down and carefully observed the situation on the ground.

Because there are rocks here, it is difficult to see the location of the footprints.

"Let's go a little further. After all, judging from the new footprints at the entrance of the cave, they are all heading into the cave, but there are no footprints heading out."

"My guess is that they may have found another exit of the cave and walked out through that exit."

"Another possibility is that they are trapped in the cave. Of course, any possibility is possible."

"Then let's not waste time. After all, we've only walked more than 300 meters. Judging from the outline of the mountain, we have to walk at least several kilometers." Officer Wang couldn't help but complain.

Then, everyone continued on their way inside.

But everyone gradually discovered that the distance of this cave was becoming narrower and narrower.

Many times, people need to bend their backs and lower their bodies to a very low level to pass through these narrow areas.

In order to avoid getting lost, Xu Enping would spray some red paint on some key locations to mark the tip positions.

After everyone passed through a narrow area, they suddenly found that they had arrived at an unusually spacious area.

These areas are large enough to accommodate thousands of people at a time.

Because the strange rock structure at the top was extremely complex, like a sword hanging in the air, Gu Chen was extremely careful when walking.

I was worried that the noise I made while walking would be too loud and would cause the sharp hanging rocks to fall down.

The spatial layout here is also very complex, and everything looks like a road.

This made Gu Chen suddenly realize that walking in such a place would very likely lead to getting lost.

So Gu Chen quickly turned around and looked in the direction of Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, and reminded them:
"Senior Sister Lu, Xiao Yuan, please don't come in yet. Just stand where you are."

"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen's sudden reminder, the two people who were still measuring the distance with the green rope immediately obeyed and stood in their original places.

Gu Chen quickly found the guide Xu Enping and reminded him, "Mr. Xu, please mark this place quickly."

"The location of this hole is really too large. If we are not careful, we may be trapped here."

"Don't worry, I know about this situation." Seeing Gu Chen's concerns, he realized that they were also his own concerns.

So Xu Enping sprayed arrows with red paint on the rock wall where everyone came from.

While operating, he also reminded everyone: "Places like this need to be marked as much as possible."

"And the more detailed the better. Only in this way can we avoid getting lost."

"But why didn't they leave any marks? We have been exploring the route based on our intuition, but we haven't found any marks they left. Why is that?"

Gu Chen also suddenly raised this strange question. The strange thing was that the group of people did not make any markings at all, which was a very dangerous behavior during the cave exploration process.

But how could those two experienced outdoor guides make such a low-level mistake? Gu Chen didn't understand.
