Chapter 709: A Little Squirrel

This cannon was very heavy. Even a physically strong man like Li Yang would be exhausted after carrying this cannon for 30 minutes.

It was indeed a little difficult for Yun Xi to bring this cannon to her own camp.

After fighting alone, Yun Xi could not contact Zhou Lin. Yun Xi stood guard beside the cannon and fell into deep thought.

She suddenly came to a conclusion.

It would take Zhou Lin almost half an hour to walk from the spring to here, and only 15 minutes to bury the signal device. Xu Mei’s signal device must not be nearby.

Xu Mei’s signal device must be hidden in a circular area with the spring as the center.

According to Zhou Lin’s calculations, it would take about 30 minutes to reach the battery and 15 minutes to bury the signal. Therefore, the area of the circular area could be reduced by half.

The area of the signal was getting smaller and smaller.

“Let’s start from the right side of the circular area.”

Yun Xi took out a map and looked at the location on the other side. There were a few large hills on the right side of the spring, and the hills were covered with bushes.

The bushes should be a suitable place to hide the signal device. Yun Xi was now on the right side of the cannon, so it was convenient for her to search.

Yun Xi picked up the signal detector in her hand and searched in the direction of the bushes.

However, after a round of searching, there was no result.

“Right! They definitely can’t hide the signal device in the bushes!”

Yun Xi’s team hid the signal device in the bushes, assuming that the other party would hide the signal device in the bushes as well.

However, it was already autumn, and the leaves of the low shrubs in the bushes had all fallen off. Unlike the lush foliage in midsummer, which could block the enemy’s line of sight, if the signal device was really buried in the bushes, it would definitely leave a trace. It would be better to bury it in flat ground.

Yun Xi carefully searched the bushes again to confirm that there was no signal.

She could not help but frown.

Where would they place the signal? Could it be that they were really gifted?! Was the signal deviceburied after the cannon was buried?!

Yun Xi began to doubt herself, but now she had no clue at all.

She could only continue to walk towards the left side of the suspicious area with the mentality of trying.

Yun Xi took another two steps forward and suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from afar.

What was that sound?!

Yun Xi stopped in her tracks and hid behind a big tree, listening attentively.

“Rustle…”

“Rustle…”

The sound that was getting closer and closer became clearer. Yun Xi’s heart started to beat faster and her palm that was holding the detector started to break out in cold sweat.

Could it be that the enemy had also chosen to fight alone?! Li Yang went to their camp to search for the detector, while Xu Mei stayed behind to guard the surroundings of the signal device to snipe?!

The more Yun Xi thought about it, the more she felt that the sound was the sound of the sniper rifle slicing through the leaves.

Yun Xi held her breath and focused, her eyes staring intently at the bushes in the distance, and his heart was in his throat.

“Rustle…”

“Rustle…”

The sound continued to grow louder and louder.

Beads of sweat started to form on Yun Xi’s forehead, and the anxiety in her heart grew. If Xu Mei really stayed in her own camp and faced a head-on duel, she would definitely not be Xu Mei’s match.

Yun Xi frantically searched through the space, looking for some weapons that would not break the rules and could be used.

Yun Xi’s sweat flowed down his forehead to her neck, and a little squirrel jumped out from the bushes.

The little squirrel’s tail swept across the ground, making a rustling sound that Yun Xi could hear!

“Ah!”

Yun Xi wiped the sweat off her head. It was just a false alarm.

It was almost winter, and the little squirrels were busy stocking up on food. This was the first time Yun Xi had seen a squirrel stocking up on food, and she temporarily forgot about looking for the enemy’s signal device. She wanted to follow this little squirrel and learn from her.

The place where the little squirrel moved seemed to be around the spring. The squirrel buried the pinecones and other nuts it had found in a tree hole or in the soil under a big tree.

The squirrel had buried so much food for the winter that sometimes it would forget where it hid the food!

Suddenly, Yun Xi noticed something different under a big tree.
