The squad leader outside the space stood in place for a while, then doubled back, repeatedly checking for anything suspicious. Only then did he continue forward.
Fortunately, she could see outside from within the space. Seeing him move forward, Yunyi exited the space and resumed her pursuit.
After leaving the cemetery, Squad Leader Xu Wenchang went straight into the Lin Zi ahead.
Yunyi’s skills were not for naught. With the cover of the large trees, she dared to follow even closer. Even though she was in the Lin Zi, she made not the slightest sound.
Whenever the squad leader stopped for counter-surveillance, Yunyi would instantly slip into the space.
The squad leader didn’t stop until he reached an old elm tree.
As he turned his head once more to ensure it was safe, Yunyi had already leaped onto a nearby sand pine tree and slipped into her space.
After another cautious inspection, the squad leader finally put his fingers to his lips and whistled a few times.
Anyone listening carefully would realize these whistles weren’t random; they were a coded message.
Shortly after, two men emerged from the opposite direction. One of them asked, "What took you so long?"
The squad leader hurriedly explained, "I ran into someone on my way out, which delayed me a bit."
Hearing his reply, Yunyi couldn’t help but scoff internally.
Then she heard one of the men say, "We’ve been searching these mountains for so long but haven’t found the place. Are you sure that thing is reliable?"
Fearing a misunderstanding, the squad leader quickly said, "The moment I got the box, I notified my superiors. Someone came and took it away that very day."

Yunyi listened intently to their conversation, which confirmed her suspicions. So this squad leader really is compromised.
I need to visit his house soon, to at least get a clear understanding of the situation.
