There was only one snowfall after the beginning of winter this year, and the snow was not heavy, so when there was a chance to warm up in early winter, all the snow on the sunny slopes melted.

But there is still snow in shady places and in the woods.

Therefore, the snow will not cause much trouble to the enemy. There are few places on that road where snow can occur, but the snow has brought some trouble to Gao Yuan. In order to achieve the tactical goals set for Weiguo, he must

Try to walk in a straight line and run the shortest distance as fast as possible in order to get in front of the enemy and intercept them, which requires running through the forest.

Climb over mountains, walk through woods, climb cliffs, and jump off cliffs.

You can't blindly seek speed, and you can't let yourself get injured or even die. In that case, Luo Xingyu will really be hopeless.

Gao Yuan didn't know how many times he had fallen. He sat on the ground and slid down the snow in the woods.

After crossing a very steep but not vertical cliff at the fastest speed, Gao Yuan hugged a tree to stop his momentum, and then he covered his face with his hands, completely ignoring what was ahead of him.

A bush of thorns rushed past with a flutter.

There was blood everywhere on his face and hands, but Gao Yuan didn't care at all.

There is only one target. If the enemy passes him with Luo Xingyu, Gao Yuan must get in front of them.

Saving Luo Xingyu is the only goal.

As for killing the enemy, that is a secondary goal, and it may not even be the goal.

Gao Yuan now only wants Luo Xingyu's safety, even if he exchanges all the supplies for it, but unfortunately he also knows that such a thing is unlikely.

In the adult world, there are no multiple-choice questions, but all-round questions.

So either kill the enemy and rescue Luo Xingyu, or be killed by the enemy.

Of course, the worst possibility is that Luo Xingyu has been killed, and Gao Yuan only has revenge.

There is no need to think about these things now. Gao Yuan's mind is completely blank. Apart from occasionally stopping to identify the direction, the only thing he can do is run, running fast in the mountains and forests.

Mountains are climbed, not run, so there is the word mountain climbing.

Now Gao Yuan was really running in the mountains, but he didn't feel the freedom like the wind.

Two hours had passed, and there was a fire in Gao Yuan's lungs. He didn't even want to waste time to open the kettle. Instead, he grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth.

There was only a thin layer of snow on the ground, which was dark and covered with dust. There were a few pine needles stuffed into his mouth along with the snow, but Gao Yuan could no longer care about these.

His physical strength has reached its limit, and his legs feel like they are filled with lead, but Gao Yuan firmly believes that he can break through the limit.

Anyone who has experienced long-distance running knows that when you reach the limit, it feels like you can't run a single step. But as long as you break through the physical limit, you will run easier and easier, as if you don't feel tired.

After climbing over a small mountain ridge, Gao Yuan suddenly saw nothing. He was already at the highest peak.

Looking down, you can see the village at the foot of the mountain, and tens of meters down from where Gaoyuan is, there are high and low cliffs.

The direction is slightly off, but the distance is not far. As long as Gaoyuan is at the top edge of the mountain, it can block the only way down the mountain.

Why is it the only way to go? Because other places are too dangerous to pass.

Gao Yuan jumped onto the path, and then he started running forward along the path. Finally, after passing a small turning, he stopped.

A protruding stone formed a corner, and Gao Yuan could hide behind the stone so that pedestrians on the road could not see him.

The terrain here is not particularly dangerous. Gao Yuan knew that there was a section of the road that was extremely narrow and could only accommodate one person. On one side was a cliff, and on the other side was a cliff hundreds of meters high. If he lost his footing, he would fall and become a pulp.

The location chosen by Gao Yuan has no special advantages other than being well hidden. The road is relatively wide and flat.

He pulled out the ax, untied the leather sheath on the axe, leaned against the stone and began to regulate his breathing.

I am too tired, my hands and feet are weak, and my breathing is short. This is not a good time to take action.

Gao Yuan began to try to analyze like Weiguo, making a clear judgment before taking the next step.

Gao Yuan felt that he was very fast, and the distance he came here was about the same as the distance from the village, so he didn't have much disadvantage in terms of distance, but those people took the same route to get here, even if it was abandoned

The road is also a road, and it is much easier to walk than the one over the mountains and ridges.

Therefore, Gao Yuan was not completely sure that he was ahead of the enemy.

You have to be calm, you have to use your brain, you have to be calm, you have to not be chaotic!

Gao Yuan kept telling himself in his mind that he was frantically trying to calm down.

Xiang Weiguo had taught him a good lesson just now, and Gao Yuan knew how much it meant to him to calm down.

Staying calm in the face of trouble is simply impossible for too many people, so some people can rise up against the odds, but most people can't.

With Xiang Weiguo absent, Gao Yuan could only make his own judgment, but his mind was in such a mess at the moment that he could not make an accurate judgment on the situation in front of him with a calm attitude.

The direction is deviated, so if the enemy takes this road, have they not arrived here yet, or have they already passed through?

If they haven't arrived yet, they can ambush here. If the enemy has already passed, Gao Yuan must pursue them.

The advantage of an ambush is that the terrain here is favorable and it also allows Gao Yuan time to recover his physical strength. However, if the enemy has already passed here, then Gao Yuan leaving an ambush will mean that the chance to save Luo Xingyu is lost forever.

If you start going down the mountain along the road, the advantage seems to be greater, because if the enemy has not arrived yet, Gao Yuan can still ambush at the next point, but there are also disadvantages, that is, he has to continue moving without resting, and the most important thing is that it may leave traces

, let subsequent enemies discover it.

Traces, thinking of this, Gao Yuan finally understood what he should do rightly.

If it is normal time, such as sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting, watching the computer and making some analysis and judgment on others is not difficult. Every keyboard warrior can do it, because even if they are wrong, they will not

There will be any price.

In a critical moment when life is at stake, when the life or death of the person you care about most is uncertain, and at the moment when you have to risk your life to fight, you can still remain calm and find a suitable way to solve the dilemma you face. This is not ordinary people, because they choose

Getting it wrong means that someone will die, or you will die. Not everyone can bear this kind of pressure.

Gao Yuan walked away from the rock and walked quickly down the mountain until he turned along the path at the top of the cliff.

On a section of the road where the sun was blocked by mountains, snow finally appeared. The snow was very thin, but it could still leave footprints.

The most important thing is that there are only footprints going up the mountain and no footprints going down the mountain.

Gao Yuan was excited because he found the key to saving Luo Xingyu.

Those people went up the mountain from here, which proves that Xiang Weiguo's judgment is correct. Then, these footprints prove that the enemy has not come down from here, which means that if they return along this road, Gaoyuan still has a chance to ambush.

Also, Gao Yuan could tell through the footprints that the footprints were left by at least four people.

Four people, not one, gave the enemy enough manpower and strength to decide to take Luo Xingyu away instead of killing her, which was very important.

Gao Yuan placed his feet next to the footprints in the snow and compared them. The footprints left by the enemy varied in size, but the smallest footprints were not much smaller than his own.

Xiang Weiguo told Gao Yuan that there is a relationship between the size of a person's feet and his height, but Xiang Weiguo only said this and did not formally teach Gao Yuan how to identify footprints. However, identifying footprints on the snow is the simplest way.

, Gao Yuan could still tell that the people coming were four men.

Very good, the key information has been obtained, and a decision can be made after reasonable analysis.

The decision was to go back and ambush behind the corner formed by the big rock.

Gao Yuan returned to the back of the rock. He stood behind the rock wall and his breathing slowly began to calm down.

Covered in sweat and his mouth was dry, Gao Yuan took out the kettle and drank the little water left in it. Then he took the kettle off his body and placed it on the ground.

Ten minutes passed, and Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Twenty minutes passed, and Gao Yuan felt anxious again.

Thirty minutes have passed. The excitement and joy caused by the reasonable analysis and judgment have long since disappeared. The current high altitude is like a year.

Sweat fell, and the clothes soaked by sweat were wet and cold. Gao Yuan felt cold.

Unable to let his body become completely cold, Gao Yuan began to move his sore limbs. He had to warm himself up again.

Why don't you go back along the road? That way, if the enemy really goes this way, you can encounter him faster.

As soon as this idea came up, Gao Yuan couldn't help but want to leave immediately.

It was difficult for Gao Yuan to remain calm. While he was warming up, he suddenly slapped himself hard with his left hand.

"Calm down! Calm down! You have to calm down!"

After warning himself in a low voice, Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

If you go back along the road, the advantage of the ambush will most likely be lost. The ambush will turn into an encounter, and there are four people on the other side. The most important thing now is to rescue Luo Xingyu, not to find Luo Xingyu, because Luo Xingyu

It was not lost but tied up. Therefore, it cannot go back and must be ambushed here.

Gao Yuan, who made a judgment again, calmed down. Now that he knows what to do, he will do the right thing.

Gao Yuan's breathing calmed down, and he kept moving calmly and rhythmically, not letting his limbs stiffen or letting his body cool down.

Although he was just fighting his own thoughts, Gao Yuan seemed to have undergone a transformation at this moment, a very important transformation.

Emotions make Gao Yuan anxious, but reason can keep Gao Yuan calm. This is a very strange state, and one that few people can achieve.

Finally, Gao Yuan, who was active, suddenly stopped because he heard a sound.

"Go faster..."

Along with the footsteps, a man's cursing voice drifted over in the wind. Gao Yuan stopped his warm-up exercise. He pulled out the ax from his waist with his right hand and held the knife in his left hand.
