"Do you think there are other people besides us in this forest?"
"Of course there are. Don’t forget the purpose of our mission here."
"No, if they were terrorists, they would have shot at us by now. They wouldn’t have waited until now."
"True. But if they’re not our target, who else could they be? Could there be a third group?"
"You forgot, Zero Two ntioned the legend of the wild man. Maybe there really are wild n?"
"No way, in this day and age, how could there still be wild n?"
"Alright, stop scaring yourself. I think it’s more likely to be an animal. Think about it, if it were really wild n, they wouldn’t dare to co out. They would have been scared off by us already."
"Yeah, it’s definitely an animal."
Mu Qiancheng and Chen Ming didn’t pay attention to the others’ discussion for the mont. They exchanged a glance and then beca fully alert.
The thing they just encountered was too fast, and they really had no clue what it was. If it turned out to be a threat to them, it would be a big problem.
Now, they’ve been exposed. Even if they try to hide again, it’s too late. But they’re in the open, and the opponent is hidden, making it very difficult to find them, let alone deal with them.
"Zero One, what should we do?" Chen Ming whispered, secretly wondering if it could really be wild n.
"Wait and see!" Mu Qiancheng calmly uttered the four words, then focused his attention on listening again. Earlier, he sensed sothing was wrong through the sound of the wind. Now, since they can’t see any signs of the presence, they have to rely on what they hear.
Mu Qiancheng listened quietly for a while but heard nothing. The whole forest was very quiet, with only the sound of the wind rustling the leaves.
As for the fleeting shadow they had just seen, it seed as though it was rely an illusion.
After waiting for quite a while, the shadow did not appear again. Mu Qiancheng decided not to wait any longer, and since the others had rested enough, he ordered to move forward.
The brothers obeyed the command, stood up from the ground, and then headed deeper into the forest.
However, what Mu Qiancheng and the team did not know was that after they moved on, a head peeked through the dense leaves of a tall tree not far from them.
It was the wild man Chen Ming ntioned earlier. This person was about two ters tall, with long tangled hair, covered in black fur, wearing no clothes except for so leaves wrapped around the waist.
The wild man watched as Mu Qiancheng’s group walked away, then withdrew his gaze and swiftly disappeared. If Mu Qiancheng’s team had seen this, they would certainly have been shocked. The wild man’s speed was astonishing, even faster than a leopard in the mountains.
As Mu Qiancheng’s group moved forward, they stayed vigilant for any potential dangers. But after walking for about twenty minutes, they encountered nothing. Along the way, they didn’t even co across a poisonous snake, let alone any other danger.
Logically, Mu Qiancheng should have been pleased that no dangers had surfaced. Yet, for so reason, he felt an eerie calm before a storm. The absence of danger suggested that sothing greater might be lying ahead.
With this thought, Mu Qiancheng couldn’t help but caution, "I have a feeling there’s going to be danger ahead. Everyone, stay alert."
"Zero One, aren’t you being too cautious? We’ve co so far, and nothing’s happened."
"Yeah, Zero One, even if there was danger, seeing our numbers, it probably already ran away."
