Chapter 255: Captain, I'm Here
Chapter 255: Captain, I'm Here
Deng Shentong showed a barely perceptible smile on his face, and he said calmly: "I heard some unusual noises here, so I came to take a look."
His eyes swept over the two of them, as if everything was under his control.
Bai Chunyu frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He said softly, "Captain, you're not asleep! I told you to rest a little longer."
Deng Shentong waved his hand gently, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
He turned around and walked deeper into the woods, saying without looking back:
"You came at the right time. I just made some discoveries. Come and check them out with me."
"Okay!" Liao Honglei agreed quickly and followed immediately.
Bai Chunyu followed behind at a distance, observing the surrounding environment, but a strange feeling involuntarily emerged in his heart.
This feeling is hard to describe, but it seems like something is constantly circling in my mind.
When his eyes fell on Deng Shentong's walking figure, the strange sense of incongruity seemed to become even stronger.
Bai Chunyu couldn't help but frown and looked carefully at the figure in front of him.
He grew up with Deng Shentong and was very familiar with his own young master.
Deng Shentong was born into a noble family and the Deng family had strict family education, so he developed a good upbringing since childhood.
He was used to raising his head slightly with pride, and when he walked, his back was always straight, like a straight green bamboo, showing the dignity and demeanor of a noble family.
Even though he was in a hurry, he adhered to etiquette with every step and stepped firmly on solid ground. His soft silver hair hung naturally behind him, hardly swaying too much.
However, the "Deng Shentong" in front of him at this moment seemed to have very light steps, even silent. He stood on tiptoe and put the ground on the ground, and the ends of his hair swung back and forth at his waist.
Just looking from behind, it's hard to imagine that this is a man's step.
Bai Chunyu rubbed his eyes and confirmed again that he was not seeing things.
He looked at the familiar figure from behind and felt more and more strange.
This posture and movement are completely unlike Deng Shentong's usual style. Instead, it looks very much like a pet cat raised by a lady in the Deng family.
The more Bai Chunyu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he quickened his pace and walked side by side with Deng Shentong.
He glanced sideways at Deng Shentong, but saw that the other party looked focused and didn't seem to notice anything unusual about him.
"Captain, what did you find?"
Bai Chunyu asked tentatively.
Deng Shentong pointed to the snow under a big tree in front of him and said confidently: "Look, there is a set of strange footprints here. It is obvious that some animal passed by."
Bai Chunyu looked in the direction of his finger and saw a row of clear footprints, showing four round toes shaped like blooming plum blossoms.
However, his attention was not on the footprints, but on Deng Shentong's face.
Although the face in front of him was exactly the same as Deng Shentong, for some reason, it always gave him a strange feeling.
Liao Honglei interrupted at this time: "Hey, Lao Bai, the captain is talking to you, did you hear me? Why are you staring at him in a daze?"
Bai Chunyu's heart skipped a beat. Liao Honglei is such a bad teammate!
He calmed down and responded calmly: "I saw it, but the footprints look like those of a large cat."
Deng Shentong seemed to have noticed something at this time. His pupils slowly turned and looked at Bai Chunyu. A subtle smile appeared on his face and he asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? It seems that you are absent-minded today."
Bai Chunyu smiled stiffly, trying to cover up his gaffe, "It's okay, probably because I didn't get enough rest last night. Let's hurry up and track it down."
Deng Shentong raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and continued walking deeper into the woods without saying anything.
Bai Chunyu stared at his back, his whole body tense.
He hoped that he was just overthinking it.
Suddenly, a piece of dead branch, perhaps unable to bear the weight, broke unexpectedly, and hit Deng Shentong's shoulder with a cloud of dust and snow.
The dead branches were not thick and did not hurt much, but the fallen dust stained the silver-white combat uniform, making it look a little gray.
Deng Shentong shook off the dust with his shoulders and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
Bai Chunyu took this scene in, his mind went blank in an instant, the hairs on his back stood on end, and his heart beat wildly!
There is definitely something wrong with this guy in front of me!
He opened his eyes wide, staring at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, and his thoughts were running fast.
A person's conversation can be disguised, but his habits must be deeply rooted, and only those who are close to him will care about these details.
Deng Shentong loves cleanliness the most. Seeing so much dust on him, his brows would at least be frowned. He would clean it up carefully first.
He had to find an opportunity to remind Liao Honglei and then take the opportunity to escape!
Liao Honglei turned his head at this moment and said stupidly: "Old Bai, why did you stop? Hurry up and catch up!"
"Deng Shentong", who had already walked a distance in front, suddenly stopped and turned his head slowly.
Oops!
Cold sweat began to appear on Bai Chunyu's forehead, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
Since this person was able to disguise himself as Deng Shentong, he must have planned it in advance, and his strength must be very strong!
Deng Shentong turned around, stared at Bai Chunyu with a dim gaze, and smiled gently: "Chunyu, it's very dangerous here, don't be distracted again."
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Bai Chunyu always feels that Deng Shentong’s beautiful eyes seem to emit a beast-like light in the darkness, and his whole person becomes gloomy.
Bai Chunyu looked at Liao Honglei's oblivious expression, and her feminine face couldn't help but twist. She cursed him a thousand times in her heart, feeling very disappointed with him.
At the same time, the man disguised as Deng Shentong seemed to have sensed Bai Chunyu's suspicion.
He tilted his head slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
Bai Chunyu simply made up his mind: Never mind, let’s fight this guy!
The moment he pulled out the gun, something horrible happened!
Without any warning, a gunshot broke the silence of the woods, and a bloody hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the forehead of the "Deng Shentong" in front of him, which actually pierced through his entire head!
"Deng Shentong" did not seem to realize that he had suffered a fatal injury. His eyes moved stiffly as if he was trying to find the murderer.
The bright red blood slowly flowed down the bloody wound, contrasting with the fair and handsome face, creating a thrilling and sad feeling.
Just like red wine slowly flowing down a white rose that has bloomed to its fullest, commemorating this final moment of decline.
Even though he knew that the person in front of him was not the real Deng Shentong, Bai Chunyu's heart still began to beat wildly when he looked at that all-too-familiar face.
"……who is it?"
"Deng Shentong" seemed to be murmuring unwillingly, staring straight ahead, but his body slowly fell down like a piece of paper.
"team leader!"
Liao Honglei, who didn't know the truth, was completely stunned. It took him a while to regain his senses. He rushed over with bloodshot eyes to catch the fallen man.
"Stop, Lao Liao!" Bai Chunyu grabbed him and looked around vigilantly.
"Why did you stop me..." Liao Honglei almost lost his mind and yelled at Bai Chunyu when he saw the "captain" in trouble.
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind them:
"What's it called?"
The two of them turned their heads instantly and saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the thick fog.
The silver-haired man held up a smoking pistol, brought it to his lips and blew slowly. His bright face was dazzling and flamboyant, and he raised his eyebrows:
"Liao Honglei, look carefully, I'm your captain here!"
