Chapter 1788: The team set off
At this moment, everyone in the tent at the rescue command center felt uneasy listening to the howling wind and rain outside.
What everyone was worried about was not that the sudden wind and rain affected the rescue speed, but that something happened to the helicopter sent over, and based on the pilot's last shout, it seemed that they had been attacked.
"What should we do?" The rescue team leader looked at the silent crowd, wanting to hear everyone's opinions, but found that everyone had sad faces.
Saving people is like putting out fires. Everyone has a hunch that something bad is happening at the other end of the tunnel and needs to send someone over as soon as possible to take a look.
It will take time to clear the rocks from the tunnel. In such weather, it is impossible to send a helicopter. So the only way left is to organize a team, get the equipment, and go over the mountains to rescue people.
The trainee policewoman was the first to sign up, looking very happy to go into battle.
The old police officer originally wanted to organize it, but when he saw that many people were actively signing up, he stopped organizing it.
Because a woman, a trainee policewoman, is so active and unafraid of danger. It would be really embarrassing if there are so many big men and so many rescue workers present and she still doesn't say anything.
Soon the team gathered more than 20 heroes, plus a trainee female police officer. Once the equipment was ready, they set off immediately.
It was windy and rainy outside, so the rescue team braved the wind and rain to climb the mountain.
Generally speaking, such windy and rainy weather is not suitable for mountain climbing. The road is slippery and it is easy to fall. However, they are to save people in danger and cannot stop when they encounter danger, not to mention that they have already lost so many days and time.
It can't be delayed any longer.
Under the leadership of the team leader, the rescue team worked hard to climb up the mountain step by step. It was very difficult at first and the steps were difficult. Several times, some team members almost fell down during the climb.
After a lot of trouble, driven by the fighting spirit of not giving up, the team finally climbed to a relatively flat place and moved forward in the mountains and forests.
What surprised the team was that the trainee policewoman was very powerful and had extraordinary skills. She could always rush to the front of the team.
The squad leader encouraged everyone not to let a woman compete with her, but to work harder if it was a man.
So under the leadership of the trainee policewoman, everyone moved forward bravely and began a difficult journey.
Because the team was not very familiar with this mountain forest, they could only walk by feeling and braved the rain. For some reason, their hearts started beating wildly with every step they took.
The team leader looked at the time and saw that it should be dawn, but there were still dark clouds overhead, the sky was dark, and the heavy rain affected their vision. They had no direction at all and could only move forward based on their feelings.
In order to relieve everyone's pressure, some team members laughed and joked: "That trainee policewoman is so beautiful. I wonder if she has a boyfriend."
Another said: "Even if this woman doesn't have a boyfriend, don't even think about it. Seeing how hard she fights, you won't be able to conquer her without any ability."
"That's right!" Several men showed meaningful smiles.
At this time, one of the team members couldn't hold it in any longer, so he found a tree and started to relax.
Because of the strong winds and heavy rain, as well as lightning and thunder, no one noticed that someone was falling behind. Everyone continued to move forward without noticing anything unusual.
Suddenly the policewoman stopped everyone, which immediately aroused everyone's doubts.
The team leader asked: "What's wrong?"
The trainee policewoman made a silencing gesture, then she closed her eyes and listened carefully to what was going on around her.
Seeing the trainee policewoman like this, the others imitated her and listened carefully.
"This is..." People with good hearing can faintly hear shouts and roars of wild animals in the wind and rain.
At this time, the people in the team were frightened to death. They huddled together and shone their flashlights on their surroundings. Their eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness.
The trainee policewoman looked around at the dark woods and then at the treetops. Unfortunately, the wind and rain were too strong. When she raised her head, she was hit by so much rain that she couldn't even open her eyes.
"Where are the people? We are missing one person here?" The team leader realized that the problem was getting more serious, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. This place is very dangerous.
The intercom rang, and the rescue captain asked about the team's movements.
The team leader took the walkie-talkie and informed him of the current situation. It was very strange and not good, and it was recommended to withdraw immediately.
"What, one person is missing?" The rescue team leader was in a daze after receiving the situation.
The veteran police officer felt that there was no reason for this. In such weather and operating in a strange place, it was easy to get lost. This was no reason to give up.
But the next reason made the rescue team leader and the veteran police officer feel baffled.
The team leader reported that many of them heard the screams of people and the roars of wild animals. Although there were strong winds and rain, as well as lightning and thunder, everyone did not hear clearly, but it was really there.
"You are sure you heard me correctly." The rescue team leader was also nervous now. It seemed that this was no longer an ordinary incident.
The old police officer believed that if there were really wild beasts, then the lost people might have been attacked by wild beasts. He suggested that the remaining people should not continue to move forward and withdraw as soon as possible.
The rescue captain looked puzzled. He had been doing rescue work for so many years, but he had never heard of any wild beasts in this area.
Making a prompt decision, the rescue team leader issued an order for the team to withdraw first, and repeatedly emphasized that everyone should be careful not to get separated.
After receiving the order, the team leader immediately took the lead and walked back, hoping to return to the camp as soon as possible.
However, in this dark, windy and rainy weather, after everyone walked down the road, they soon discovered to their surprise that in this strange place, we seemed to be unable to find our way back.
"Holy shit, where are we now?" Everyone was a little panicked, and some were even shivering in the cold wind.
The trainee policewoman looked at the dim environment around her and couldn't tell the difference between north, south, east, and west. However, she suddenly thought of a way, which was to let the camp release a signal bomb.
Although I know that flares are useless in this windy and rainy weather, I just need to give a little information and make a little noise to let everyone know the location of the camp.
The team leader picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to make a call when a scream suddenly sounded. Even the strong wind and rain could not cover up the scream, which almost scared everyone to death.
I saw something like a snake suddenly stretching down from a big tree. It wrapped around a person at lightning speed, and then with a sudden pull, it took the person directly to the treetop.
