Originally, Yunyi had wanted to provide Huo Jingrui and the others with some Sleeping Drug. However, the weather was uncooperative; the wind blew continuously and quite erratically.
If there were any accidents, Yunyi couldn’t bear the responsibility, especially since those men were armed.
At a gesture from Huo Jingrui, everyone dispersed towards their respective targets. After finding the nearest hiding spots, they all remained in position, awaiting orders.
Not far away, those men were sitting in a circle. One said, "Boss, our movements must have been exposed. Otherwise, none of them would have vanished without a trace."
The man sitting at the head took the roasted chicken handed to him and swept a fierce glance at the speaker. "What are your thoughts?"
The man, seeing the boss didn’t lose his temper, continued, "Boss, we’ve been going around in circles in these mountains and have practically scoured every inch of them, but we still haven’t found that secret research site they mentioned.
Now, not only are our food supplies dwindling, but we’re even running out of salt. Should we really keep holding out here in these deep mountains?"
After speaking, he turned to look at the several disheveled men again. "It’s been so long, and we haven’t seen the military come after us," he said. "There are only two possibilities. First, our brothers kept their mouths shut and didn’t reveal our exact situation in the mountains. Second, maybe they’ve already lost their lives, so the military is probably still searching in circles out here."
The boss’s eyes instantly turned bloodthirsty. "Don’t forget the promise we made before we set out!"
They were speaking Japanese, which Yunyi, with her acute senses, naturally heard clearly.
However, of the soldiers Huo Jingrui had brought, only one understood Japanese, and even he couldn’t hear very clearly because of the wind.
He was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead.
Yunyi, unable to watch any longer, moved closer to Huo Jingrui and quietly translated for him.
At that moment, an enemy agent who was roasting wild game nearby said, "Dragging them along is a burden. We might as well dispose of them here. That woman’s not bad looking; the brothers could have some fun."
