Chapter 947: Chapter 561 An Unexpected Visitor (Two in One)_2

This is really bizarre!

Normally, in a dense forest like this, there should be a very loud chorus of birds and insects!

But from the beginning until now, they had not heard such sounds!

And now, it was only after Qin Yuan had entered the forest that he could hear them! Moreover, it was just some soft chirping of crickets! And there weren’t many!

This phenomenon was extremely abnormal.

Surprise slowly crept into Qin Yuan’s eyes.

Then, he turned around and immediately sprinted back out.

Taking just two steps for every three, he returned to the outside team in less than a minute.

Seeing Qin Yuan rush out in such a hurry, everyone was very surprised.

They asked,

“Captain Qin Yuan?! What happened? Why did you come out so quickly? Why the panic? What happened?”

“There is something wrong with this forest.”

“We shouldn’t go inside.”

“What?”

The soldiers were very puzzled.

In their view, this place seemed as normal as could be.

“Why?”

Qin Yuan took a deep breath.

He said in a grave tone,

“Did you not notice how unusually quiet it is here?”

Qin Yuan spoke with furrowed brows.

The people around him widened their eyes as they thought about it seriously, and indeed it was true!

“Now that the Captain mentions it! It really is!”

“Although this forest is dense, we haven’t heard the normal sounds of birds!”

Once someone started talking, the rest began to exclaim in agreement.

“Yeah! It’s good that the Captain noticed this anomaly! Otherwise, we definitely would have fallen into the enemy’s trap!”

“There must be poison gas inside! It must have suffocated all the animals!”

“Maybe there’s also some mechanism that traps us inside once we enter so that we can’t leave!”

The soldiers discussed in excited whispers.

“The good news is that we know the general situation inside now, but the bad news is that we have no way to conduct further reconnaissance.”

Qin Yuan said in a serious voice.

The team fell into silence.

The situation they were facing was far from optimistic.

“So what do we do now, Captain?”

The people below couldn’t hold back and began to ask.

“The whole team will wait here while I consult with Captain He Chenguang.”

Qin Yuan said.

After that, he took out his walkie-talkie and contacted He Chenguang, recounting the situation to him.

He Chenguang was also very astonished.

After pondering for a moment, he suggested that Qin Yuan should return the same way immediately, regroup the team, and then make plans from there.

Because the situation was different from before, they were at a stage without any clues, back to square one.

“They’re not in a hurry, so what are we rushing for?”

At that moment, He Chenguang said with a frown.

“We originally weren’t in a hurry, but the situation is different now. Geng Hu is in their hands, we have to take proactive measures.”

Qin Yuan said.

The two fell into silence again.

Now that the other party had left no clues and had not come forward to offer terms, they had just silently disappeared.

The entire Daybreak Organization’s forces seemed to have evaporated into thin air, disappearing from their world.

Truth be told, Qin Yuan didn’t know where to start, they were caught in a dilemma.

One problem was not knowing what the other side really wanted; the other was that they could not afford to flee, as the hostage was a captain from the 2nd platoon of the logistics company.

They couldn’t abandon Geng Hu.

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Qin Yuan’s mind.

That’s right! They still had Green Snake and White Wolf!

If they had no clues, seeking their help could prove miraculously effective!

After all, their reconnaissance abilities were unmatched!

“Contact Green Snake immediately; see if he can lend a hand.”

Qin Yuan said.

“Ah! Right! They might have some clues!”

He Chenguang immediately agreed.

Qin Yuan promptly took out his walkie-talkie and hailed the other party.

Green Snake had previously been acting separately with White Wolf due to White Wolf’s unsociable behavior.

He responded quickly to Qin Yuan’s call.

“Qin Yuan! What’s up?”

“Green Snake, we’ve run into some trouble. Can you come and help us out?”

Qin Yuan said directly.

“Trouble? What happened? Didn’t we already take out two of their squads?”

Green Snake asked, confused.

“It was the last unit that ran into trouble.”

“Geng Hu and his team were ambushed, and Geng Hu himself has gone missing. We can’t find the enemy’s trail, so we asked for your help.”

Qin Yuan said.

The other party was silent for a few seconds.

“That blockhead! Alright, I’m on my way. Where are you?”

“To the west of the forest where the sixth team just fought, about a kilometer away.”

“Okay, I’m on my way!”

After speaking, Green Snake hung up the walkie-talkie.

Qin Yuan finally had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

This way, Green Snake, who was quite familiar with the Daybreak Organization’s marching tactics, might be able to locate them.

They wouldn’t need to stay here on pins and needles either.

It didn’t take much time for Green Snake to arrive.

“Quickly take me to the scene.”

As soon as he arrived, Green Snake said without delay.

“Mm, follow me.”

Without any excess words, Qin Yuan directly led Green Snake and White Wolf to the forest they had just fought in.

As soon as they reached the edge of the forest, Green Snake’s expression became very solemn.

“There’s poison gas in here.”

Green Snake said gravely.

“Just as I thought, my judgement was not wrong.”

Qin Yuan said from aside.

“Moreover, this is an advanced poison gas from the organization, an odorless and colorless gas. Once a person is infected, there’s no antidote that can save them.”

Green Snake’s expression was extremely grave.

“Ah?! Didn’t Captain Qin Yuan just go inside?!”

He Chenguang exclaimed from the side.

Everyone looked at Qin Yuan at once.

Qin Yuan’s face, however, had no expression. Life or death had long been determined, and panicking wouldn’t be of any use to him.

But Green Snake’s expression showed no panic as he explained to them with a smile:

“He had already taken the antidote before. This poison is ineffective against him, he’s an exception.”

Everyone was astonished.

Qin Yuan’s heart surged too, and it was only upon reflection that he remembered having previously experienced taking poison with Lin Hai and being given an antidote by Green Snake to detox, which made him relieved.

Qin Yuan also smiled.

“It’s nothing, just a minor incident from before. It’s good that everything’s alright.”

“Captain Qin Yuan really has a lucky star shining on him, truly blessed with good fortune!”

The soldiers praised.

“Let’s not talk about this now, let’s start the search quickly.”

Qin Yuan said with a frown.

“Mm, leave it to us.”

Saying this, Green Snake crouched down, patted White Wolf’s back, and the latter quickly understood, leaping into the forest.

“It’s not affected by the poison?”

Qin Yuan asked as he watched White Wolf’s retreating form.

“No, it was born from that organization; all drugs are ineffective against it.”

Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the creature ahead with a look of admiration on his face.

“We just need to wait here. It won’t take long for it to uncover the secret.”

Green Snake confidently said.

“I trust you, otherwise I wouldn’t have called for you.”

Qin Yuan said with a smile.

True to their expectations, White Wolf did not disappoint them, returning to their side in just a few minutes.

It carefully approached Green Snake, bowed its head and lowered its body, snuggling against Green Snake as if they were communicating intimately.

After a while, Green Snake slowly stood up, his expression serene.

Coming to Qin Yuan’s side, he whispered:

“They left no trace inside; they must have moved on.”

“What exactly are they up to?”

Qin Yuan muttered to himself.

“Can we track their direction?”

Qin Yuan asked.

Green Snake again whispered with White Wolf for a moment.

“It says it can.”

Green Snake said.

“Good, so we can start the pursuit now?”

Qin Yuan asked.

“Yes, it will lead the way for us.”

Green Snake spoke with authority.

“Then I’ll leave it to it.”

Green Snake nodded, talked with White Wolf again, and after understanding the plan, it immediately headed towards the east.

Qin Yuan and his group closely followed behind.
