Huo Jingrui pulled Yunyi along as they ran forward, but he couldn’t help sniffing the air with suspicion. Why did the scent of blood seem much lighter?
Because he was in a hurry to leave, he didn’t dwell on it.
By the time they found a water source, there was already a glimmer of light in Lin Zi.
Huo Jingrui released Yunyi’s wrist. "It’s very dangerous in the deep mountains; don’t ever act alone."
Yunyi knew he meant well and nodded in agreement. "I understand."
After they cleaned themselves up by the water, Huo Jingrui addressed everyone. "I know none of us had a good rest, but we have a mission to complete. Please overcome this. You all have fifteen minutes to take care of breakfast, then we will set off."
After all, they had only brought dry rations for two days. If they couldn’t find those people by then, they feared their crazed opponents might harm the hostages. Those people weren’t fools. On the contrary, each of them possessed strong counter-reconnaissance capabilities. They feared that these individuals, in a moment of impulse, would act irrationally.
Everyone was very efficient. As soon as the time was up, they set off without Huo Jingrui needing to give a command.
Today, their luck was good; shortly after entering Lin Zi, they found the marks left by their own people.
Following the marks, their pace quickened, and by around midday, they finally found the team members who had entered earlier.
They had indeed suffered, having finished their dry rations by midday the previous day. If it weren’t for the wild fruits in the mountains being edible at this season, they would have suffered even more.
The few responsible for tracking hurried over to report as soon as their comrades arrived. "Boss, those people’s patience has probably reached its limit. They said if they can’t find the location, they’re preparing to withdraw."
Yunyi paused when she heard the word "hostages." Why were there hostages now?

When she took Huo Jingrui’s binoculars and saw the bound individuals, she couldn’t help but freeze. How could it be such a coincidence?
