Void Jigsaw Puzzle

"Simple, weapons."

A low voice came into Fan Ting's ears.

At some point, Guo Ling had recovered from his daze. He followed Fan Ting's gaze and carefully observed the train of cars, and also paid attention to the issue that Fan Ting was concerned about.

Fan Ting suddenly realized, but then asked, "Could it be something else? Like food or other logistical supplies? After all, this place is quite remote, and supplying these things is a problem."

"It's not impossible, but if it were these things, there's no need to transport them in such a secretive manner. From what I remember and what I've read in books, the camouflage colors on these carriages are often used by the military, and Wuming City doesn't have an army. What does this mean? It means the items on the trains are likely military-related, and they're very likely weapons. Remember those crossbows equipped by the Portuguese Moon Team? Have you ever seen them on the market?"

From Guo Ling's decisive tone and slightly furrowed brows, Fan Ting felt a strong sense of confidence.

She accepted his point and nodded. "Then let's continue observing. Judging from the current route of the car, it leads to the foot of the middle mountain. If they are unloading there, we can see clues from a distance."

"That's a great idea! Seeing is believing. Even if I have a strong guess, it's still not as good as seeing it with my own eyes!"

Guo Ling hugged Fan Ting tightly.

Now the two of them were almost face to face.

Fan Ting's face turned red, and she could only stare at the slowly moving car, not daring to turn her eyes.

Guo Ling also realized the ambiguity of the action just now, and quickly took his hand off Fan Ting's shoulder, continuing to keep his body close to hers while squeezing his hand together with Fan Ting's.

Their judgment was soon confirmed.

Sure enough, the eight carriages stopped at the foot of the Central Nipple Mountain. About twenty young people with beige halos on their heads jumped out of the carriages in an orderly manner and began to unload the goods.

Judging from the outer packaging, it is still impossible to tell what is inside, but it is obviously not food or daily necessities.

Because they are all dark green square boxes, sealed tightly.

Guo Ling compared its size in his mind with the size of the crossbows used by the Pu Yue team and came to a conclusion: the two matched.

He turned his head and glanced at Fan Ting who was close by: "Basically there is no escape."

Fan Ting nodded excitedly.

Her main purpose in traveling south this time was to help Guo Ling investigate the weapons situation of the Pu Yue and Mei Yue teams, and to locate Feng Yue. Now, it felt like a breakthrough had been made in the first mission.

However, Guo Ling did not seem as happy as she had imagined.

His face was still very solemn, and then it turned pale.

"Why would they do such a secretive thing in broad daylight? What does this mean? First, doing it in broad daylight wouldn't attract much attention from the outside world, which means these weapons definitely weren't transported from the city, or even from the Future University. That leaves only Ciqikou. From Ciqikou to here, there are almost no populated areas along the way... Second, the situation is extremely urgent, so they don't want to wait until night to act. This means they are speeding up the delivery of weapons and equipment, and once a certain critical point is reached, they will definitely launch an offensive against us..."

Guo Ling was muttering to himself, while Fan Ting was listening silently.

The more she listened, the uglier her expression became.

Breathing also became rapid.

A long silence fell over both of them.

At this time, Guo Ling suddenly patted Fan Ting and said, "Look, after the train unloaded the cargo, except for the driver, everyone else did not get on the train. Instead, they went up the mountain. The train turned around, as if it was going back!"

Fan Ting asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Time waits for no one! If it returns the same way, when it passes us again, we will rush out and get in the car as fast as possible and let it take us out!"

Fan Ting's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? Even if we go back the same way, we're still several meters away from here!"

"No, it seems impossible, but think about it carefully. When it passes us again, the height of the carriage will be enough to block the view of the entrance to Cuiyun Corridor and other tents at the foot of the mountain. There are no tents on the mountainside or the top where we are hiding. In other words, as long as we move quickly enough, the carriage itself can provide us with perfect cover."

Guo Ling's eyes lit up.

Fan Ting was still a little hesitant.

However, the train had slowly returned, still following the same route.

Although there are no roads in the Nitou Mountain area, there are still some routes that are traveled more frequently, and gradually formed conventional routes.

Guo Ling was ready. He bent his body slightly, clenched his fists, and stared at the car that was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, there was nothing in his sight except the camouflage color.

He deliberately slowed his breathing, but took each breath in and out deeply.

He had just seen with his own eyes how the people in the car got off, so he had locked his eyes on the door handle hidden in the camouflage on the side of the car.

It was very hidden, but now it was completely exposed to his eyes.

It's just a door handle.

Just open it, jump in your car, and close it gently. In these three steps, the task is completed!

Then, as long as you are halfway, preferably on the Cuiyun Corridor Trail, and take advantage of the car turning around and taking advantage of the thick fog, you can jump out of the car and pass through the open area between Nitou Mountain and Cuiyun Corridor Trail perfectly without having to wait until the middle of the night.

Not only can you save half a day, but you can also find a place to eat...

Guo Ling was fully prepared, but at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a hint of worry in Fan Ting's eyes.

"No! We can't be indecisive at this moment!"

He gritted his teeth, grabbed Fan Ting's hand and rushed out while the car was passing by them.

At the same time, he covered Fan Ting's mouth tightly with his other hand.

He could feel a moment of resistance, but as their bodies were completely exposed to the light outside the bushes, Fan Ting did not shout out in the end.

Guo Ling breathed a sigh of relief and continued to pull Fan Ting. They walked a few steps to the moving carriage and pulled the door handle with their hand.

But the door didn't open.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

There is no other way but to increase our efforts and try our best to save the situation.

Fortunately, this time, the door opened.

It seems that the door handles of this car are designed rather crudely and do not save effort at all.

Guo Ling opened the door halfway and looked inside the carriage while jogging.

As he had judged, there was no one there, completely empty.

He immediately grabbed Fan Ting and threw her up first.

Then he jumped into the car, got in, and closed the door handle with his backhand.

At the moment of closing, he deliberately controlled the force.

In this way, the sound of the door closing is almost drowned out by the sound of the wheels rolling over the road and the roar of the engine.

He felt his feet go soft, and he leaned against the door, sat down, and gasped for breath.

Fan Ting on the opposite side was also in shock. She bent over and stood opposite him, looking at him in disbelief.

At first, the two people's eyes were empty as if they had survived a disaster, but soon they turned into excitement and excitement.

They didn't say a word, but it seemed as if they had exchanged thousands of words with each other.

Fan Ting also sat down against the wall, and the two of them just looked at each other.

The carriage continued to shake rhythmically, and the speed of travel did not change at all.

Obviously, neither the driver nor the surrounding members of the Pu Yue team noticed what had happened in just a few seconds.

After about a few minutes, the carriage began to shake more violently and the speed began to slow down.

"We've entered the Cuiyun Corridor Trail!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

But it was clearly not the time to have the last laugh. After Guo Ling felt his strength recover a little, he struggled to stand up, then stepped over to Fan Ting's side and sat down beside her against the wall. He whispered, "Are your legs still strong? We need to get off the bus as soon as possible."

"Huh? Why can't we wait until they take us to a place near the entrance of Cuiyun Corridor before getting off? That way we can save a lot of energy."

"It's purely for risk prevention. We don't know if they'll have any formalities along the Cuiyun Corridor Trail, whether they'll stop along the way for a routine inspection, or simply to lure the Puyue team members to Ciqikou. Any of these are possible. If we run into this, we'll be trapped, with nowhere to escape..."

Before they could finish their words, they both felt the car slowing down, almost as if it was about to stop.

They didn't think any more and didn't say anything more. They looked out the narrow window and saw that the thick fog in Cuiyun Corridor was almost floating into the carriage.

Perfect opportunity to escape.

So they did what they had just done, but in reverse.

Guo Ling let Fan Ting roll into the bushes, and her whole body was immersed in the thick fog. He also ran two steps after the car and gently closed the car door.

Otherwise, if you just swing it simply, it will inevitably make some noise and alert the driver.

Fortunately, the car was also slowing down, so he was able to remain relatively stationary with the car for a short time.

After everything was over, his figure disappeared into the thick fog.

But Fan Ting was nowhere to be seen in the thick fog.

He didn't dare shout loudly, he could only calculate the distance between himself and the place where she had just jumped out of the car, and then slowly groped his way forward.

Until his hands touched something soft.

Guo Ling was an experienced person and immediately realized what it was. So, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the body that the thing belonged to by the waist with his left hand. At the same time, he estimated the direction with his right hand and blocked the mouth that was about to scream.

It was indeed Fan Ting.

And she almost cried out in shock and shame.

Guo Ling only felt a soft touch coming from his left hand, and his right hand felt moist and delicate. He had an idea and hugged Fan Ting.

Fan Ting opened her eyes wide and looked at the thick fog in front of her, not knowing what to do for a moment.

However, the warmth from Guo Ling's body, his heavy chest and strong hug made her sigh, then close her eyes without struggling.

Guo Ling only felt his heart beating violently, but in a flash, the figure of another woman appeared in his mind.

The woman who has always worried him and whose whereabouts are still unknown.

So, he let go of Fan Ting and whispered, "I'm sorry to have scared you."

Fan Ting was stunned and bit her lip: "It's okay, the fog is too thick."

"I'm glad you're okay... Let's grope our way to the entrance to Cuiyun Corridor."

"Ah."

Fan Ting nodded slightly.

She felt conflicted, a mixture of loss and relief.
