I am a super cop

Chapter 2801 Attracting Firepower
I always feel that He Wenjun might have been caught by the cold. After all, the temperature in the mountains is obviously much lower than that in the city.

Coupled with the rain and drop in temperature a few days ago, the place is quite cold, so it seems understandable that He Wenjun's movements are slow.

But He Wenjun waved his hand and continued, "Officer Gu, you have to believe me. I, I, I, I just seemed to see something flash past from behind. I was not mistaken."

"Is it true?" Before Gu Chen could say anything, Officer Wang raised the question.

He Wenjun nodded silently: "It's absolutely true, and that thing was very fast, it flashed past in a flash."

"When I turned my head, I saw a flash of black."

"Are you confused because of the cold?" Officer Wang became more and more confused as he listened. He walked to the corner, glanced in the direction of the cave entrance, and then shone the flashlight a few times.

Since everyone had walked into the heart of the cave, the light could only shine on the walls.

Officer Wang observed carefully for a while before turning around and returning to everyone.

"How is it, Lao Wang?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Nothing." Officer Wang also looked puzzled.

"But...but I really saw it, I didn't lie."

"Well, maybe it's some wild animal." Seeing He Wenjun's serious look, Gu Chen thought that maybe there might be some wild animals outside the cave.

He Wenjun shivered and approached Gu Chen and said, "Gu...Officer Gu, I feel like this place is pretty spooky. It might be better if we come here during the day. It's really scary at night."

"Especially the bones in the pile of rocks. It's obvious that someone died here before."

"Besides, the dirt steps we came up from were also dug by humans. This place is definitely not that simple."

"That's why we have to go in and take a look at the situation." Yuan Shasha said.

Lu Weiwei looked He Wenjun up and down. At this time, He Wenjun's legs were shaking violently, so Lu Weiwei asked him:

"Are you scared? Do you want to go back?"

"Go...go back? I go back alone? Don't joke, of course it's safer to go with you guys." No matter how scared He Wenjun was at the moment, he didn't dare to go back alone.

It might be the black shadow just now that made He Wenjun feel a little panicked.

At this moment, his desire to go back reached its peak.

But if you think about it, it might be safer to follow Gu Chen and the others.

"Then just follow us." Gu Chen said.

"Okay... okay." He Wenjun nodded silently and didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.

Gu Chen continued to observe the passage ahead, and after making sure there was nothing unusual around him, he began to walk over carefully.

Seeing this, everyone followed closely.

I don’t know how long it took, but Gu Chen discovered that the cave in front began to narrow, and the footprints in the cave seemed to disappear.

After all, this place looks like it's all rocky. Before, Gu Chen was able to determine the direction by some soil debris on the ground.

But now it seems that these bases are becoming less and less.

Fortunately, there is only one cave here, but the bad thing is that there are some small caves around the cave, which people can crawl into, but no one knows where they lead to?

The records about this place on the sheepskin map are not that detailed, and Gu Chen is not sure whether Zhuang Tianhe and Zhuang Hu will continue to move forward along the cave.

I don’t know how long I walked, but Gu Chen suddenly felt a cool breeze ahead.

And there seemed to be some faint light in the area ahead.

"We seem to have reached the exit." Gu Chen reminded everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to shine their flashlights towards the cave entrance.

"It is indeed the entrance to the cave, but it seems that we haven't reached it completely yet." Lu Weiwei said.

"It seems like we have reached another passage." Gu Chen also judged based on the situation ahead.

"Let's go and take a look." Officer Wang frowned and spoke slowly.

After everyone discussed it, they continued to move forward.

Soon, they reached the exit of the cave passage.

But this is not the real exit, but another cave passage.

"This place is quite complicated, with one passage connected to another, but the exit is a bit narrow," said Yuan Shasha.

"Something's wrong." Gu Chen shook his head when he heard that.

Seeing this, Yuan Shasha quickly asked Gu Chen: "Brother Gu, what's wrong?"

Gu Chen turned his head and looked at everyone, and asked: "Didn't you notice? It seems we have been here before."

"Come...been here before?" He Wenjun was stunned for a moment when he heard that, so he quickly looked around and found that the surroundings seemed familiar.

Looking back at the other side of the cave entrance, He Wenjun suddenly realized and said hurriedly, "Yes, that's right, we have been here before. This is where I just met you."

After he finished speaking, He Wenjun pointed to the left and said, "That place is the real cave entrance. I ran over from there and ran here to meet you."

"And you were standing at the entrance of this cave at the time. Because the entrance was very small, you didn't go in."

"Yes, it's here." After hearing what He Wenjun said, Gu Chen also confirmed:
"It looks like this is a cycle, and we are back to where we were before."

"What about Zhuang Tianhe and Zhuang Hu? Didn't they come in?" Yuan Shasha said.

"They may have gone to another location in the cave through other small caves." Gu Chen replied calmly.

Then, Gu Chen looked at everyone again: "There are many small caves in the cave, but we don't have a map of this place. It would be dangerous to go in rashly. Besides, the things we have for marking are not very good."

After thinking for a while, Gu Chen said, "Let's go out first and talk about it after we get to the exit."

"Okay!" He Wenjun quickly agreed after hearing this.

After all, everyone has been staying in the cave for a long time and needs some external space to relax, otherwise this depressing environment can easily make people feel uncomfortable.

So at Gu Chen's suggestion, everyone started walking towards the cave entrance.

When they arrived at the relatively open rock at the entrance of the cave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The cold wind outside was blowing very fast and it was torture to stand outside.

But fortunately, everyone is wearing professional outdoor jackets that are windproof.

Gu Chen also said slowly: "I don't know what happened to those three people? We seemed to have been wandering around in the cave for a long time." "Yes, it seems like we have been wandering around for nearly an hour, plus it took us a lot of time to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top." Lu Weiwei reminded.

"Let's go down the mountain and meet up with them first, and then make long-term plans after some time. After all, coming here at night does bring a lot of inconvenience to our actions." Gu Chen said.

The cold wind at night makes everyone endure the torment of low temperature and strong wind.

The three experienced hikers who came to help are still staying at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Chen thought that he and his men had been exploring the cave on the mountainside for a long time. It was time to meet up with these people and then make further plans.

So after everyone confirmed it, they followed Gu Chen and started walking down the mountain.

Due to the steep terrain, everyone had to be extra careful when going down the mountain, and basically groped their way forward step by step.

The people behind illuminated the way for Gu Chen who was exploring the way ahead. After Gu Chen arrived at a flat area, they used the light to illuminate the way for the teammates behind him.

Everyone cooperated with each other and reached the bottom of the earthen steps.

But at this moment, Gu Chen did not notice the three experienced hikers who came to help.

"Where did they go?" Gu Chen looked around and came to He Wenjun and asked:

"Where were the three of them when you came up?"

"It's... right here? Why is the person gone?" He Wenjun also pointed to the original place and then began to search.

After walking around for a few times and seeing no one in sight, He Wenjun immediately returned and explained to Gu Chen:
"When I came up, those three people were indeed here. What they meant was that he should wait for a while before coming up."

"Then why is the person missing?" Lu Weiwei also looked puzzled.

He Wenjun scratched the back of his head and said thoughtfully: "Maybe, maybe he went to the toilet?"

"We have to find these people and not let them move around freely. If they can't get out, the result will be a pile of bones surrounded by rocks," said Gu Chen.

"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Officer Wang echoed:

"If you get lost, you might just turn into bones. This place is no joke."

"Then...then let's look for it quickly?" said He Wenjun.

So everyone started from the steps, spread out in all directions, and used high-powered flashlights to search for the whereabouts of the three people.

Because the lights can reach far away in the canyon, it is easy for the other party to see someone looking for them when the lights are on.

At this point, they should respond by shining their lights.

But after Gu Chen and his companions repeatedly shone the light on the cliff, they did not get any response.

"It's strange, this shouldn't happen." Gu Chen stood in the middle of the canyon, staring blankly at the dark night.

Lu Weiwei also came over and couldn't help but complain: "What are these people doing? Why is there no response at all? We are looking for them, they should at least respond with lights, right?"

"There is a problem, definitely a problem." Officer Wang also felt that something was wrong and walked over and said:

"These people can be considered as experienced hikers. They may not have strong physical strength, but they should have some outdoor experience."

"But don't they know that they can't move around freely in an area with such complex terrain?"

"We climb up there, and even if they don't go, they can't move around at will, otherwise it will take a lot of time and energy for us to look for them."

"Has something happened to them?" Yuan Shasha came closer and said vigilantly.

No one responded, and Gu Chen was also thinking seriously.

At this moment, He Wenjun saw Gu Chen and the others gathered together, so he quickly came over and asked Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, what should we do now?"

"Something must have happened to these people, and they may have walked very far away. Otherwise, if we shine the flashlight on them, they should be able to see them."

"But the current situation is that they have not responded at all. There are only two possibilities."

"First, they may have already returned and are preparing to return to the camp along the same route they came from."

"After all, this kind of place, this kind of night, does look a little scary. They may not be that brave, so they choose to return together."

"Yeah, he didn't dare to climb up, so he stayed here and waited for us for more than an hour." Lu Weiwei looked at the surrounding environment and continued to add:

"Besides, this is a canyon, the wind is very strong and it's very cold at night."

"We may not feel it that much when we are inside the cave, but after standing here for more than an hour, we may be numbed by the strong wind."

"They may not be able to stand the strong wind here, so they choose to return the same way."

"Yes." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Officer Wang nodded silently and said:

"This possibility is more likely. Besides, we have marked the entire way here. They should be able to get out of the pile of rocks smoothly."

"That would be the best, but I'm afraid it would be the second case," said Gu Chen.

"In the second situation, what kind of danger did they encounter here?" Yuan Shasha said it according to Gu Chen's thoughts.

Gu Chen nodded silently and said without hesitation: "Yes, I am afraid it is the second situation."

"If they were in any danger here, it would have been a wild animal attack or something like that."

Gu Chen looked at He Wenjun and said, "Didn't He Wenjun say before that he saw a black shadow flash by at the entrance of the cave?"

"Yes." Seeing Gu Chen looking at him, He Wenjun quickly nodded and explained:
"I was really scared when I saw the shadow. It just flashed by."

"Are you sure it's a human or an animal?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Not sure." He Wenjun shook his head like a rattle and continued:

"Anyway, it felt like that thing was moving pretty fast. I couldn't tell if it was a person or an animal. Even when it dodged, it left an afterimage."

"Is there an afterimage?" Upon hearing this, Officer Wang felt that He Wenjun seemed to be exaggerating.

But He Wenjun continued to explain: "There are indeed residual images. Of course I have an impression of what I have seen."

After thinking for a while, He Wenjun said, "Could those guys have encountered the thing I mentioned? If they did, they might be in trouble."

"It's possible." Listening to He Wenjun's explanation, Yuan Shasha crossed her arms and thought:
"If this thing is really some kind of wild animal, then the three of them would have stayed here and waited for more than an hour."

“If we go into the cave, that thing may not dare to follow us in, so that thing may choose to wait for our other three people in this canyon.”

"So, these three people are drawing fire for us?"
