Chapter 962: Chapter 569: Sothing’s Not Right! (Two Chapters Combined)
“Well, we might have to go outside to look.”
Hearing the wind nearby, Qin Yuan said with certainty.
“Ah? Are they that clever? They actually hid outside!”
Weiwei said in surprise.
“Very likely.”
Qin Yuan said.
“Then let’s hurry up and look outside!”
“Mm.”
Qin Yuan nodded in agreent.
There was nothing left to hold them here, Qin Yuan had already searched everywhere.
Then, the two of them walked toward the exit.
But at that mont, from the outside ca a burst of noisy footsteps, along with so indistinct voices.
Qin Yuan imdiately realized that the Daybreak people had arrived!
“Not good! They’re here!”
Qin Yuan said in a low voice.
Before Weiwei could react, he swiftly grabbed her by the clothes and darted behind a nearby large dumpster, where both of them held their breath and made no sound.
Because he didn’t know how many people had co from the outside, Qin Yuan dared not act rashly.
Instead, he intently discerned the direction of the voices outside and what they were saying.
Because the environnt suddenly beca noisy, and there were many people talking all at once, Qin Yuan could only hear fragnted sentences.
“Dammit, how co there are so many all of a sudden…”
“2nd platoon of the logistics company…”
“I heard…”
“Attacked…”
“Ergency orders…”
Then his eavesdropping was interrupted by a burst of hasty knocking sounds.
After that, the voices gradually beca clearer.
A few chaotic footsteps reached their ears.
“Orders from above told us to guard this war prisoner strictly, because there is a significant disturbance at the front, so we must be on high alert here to prevent the enemy from exploiting any weaknesses!”
A voice of a Daybreak soldier could be heard.
Qin Yuan and Weiwei imdiately understood that it was their inspection coming, almost as they had anticipated.
However, they got an unexpected piece of good news!
They said they had co to check on this war prisoner!
That ant Qin Yuan’s guess was entirely correct!
Moreover, this could lead them directly to Captain Geng Hu, allowing Qin Yuan to reach him effortlessly!
Qin Yuan and Weiwei were secretly pleased.
They just needed to wait quietly here, and they would naturally be led to Captain Geng Hu.
Indeed, after these people entered, they searched the house for a while but found neither Qin Yuan nor Weiwei.
Then they left as noisily as they had arrived.
Qin Yuan and Weiwei exchanged a look.
Then, tiptoeing in the dark, they followed them out.
Outside the room, Qin Yuan and Weiwei followed close behind, hiding in the shadows, watching every move of the other side.
What happened next was almost exactly as Qin Yuan had predicted.
They arrived at a clearing behind the room.
In the dim light from above,
Qin Yuan saw sothing like a statue, and a few Daybreak soldiers walked over there, looked around with guilty faces to check the surroundings,
and then began fiddling in front of the statue.
They were practiced in their movents, and in just a few seconds, a creaky noise ca from one side.
The ground next to them unexpectedly opened up.
A few of them prepared to enter the opening, laughing.
But Qin Yuan had already sized up the situation and took out the hypnotic needle, ready to repeat his trick.
Zip, zip, zip!
A few sounds rang out, and the Daybreak soldiers collapsed in response.
Qin Yuan gave Weiwei a look, and she quickly understood.
They dashed out from the shadows and hurried over to the fallen n.
Qin Yuan quickly moved the unconscious soldiers to the nearby woods and concealed them.
Then he returned to the opened secret passage.
He peeked inside.
It was unfathomably deep and still pitch dark.
“What do we do, do we go down?”
Weiwei asked worriedly from the side.
Qin Yuan wanted to tell her to stay put for safety while he explored first, but then he thought better of it. Weiwei was inexperienced and it wouldn’t be wise to leave her alone in such a place.
So he said,
“Yeah, you co down with . Just like before, follow behind , stay silent, and don’t act on your own.”
“Okay!”
Weiwei agreed readily, seemingly intimidated by the eerie surroundings and having lost her previously aloof deanor.
After making sure there was nobody around, Qin Yuan and Weiwei entered the underground passage.
Qin Yuan took out the flashlight he carried with him and lit the way ahead.
The passage was very narrow, allowing only one person to proceed. Qin Yuan and Weiwei moved slowly one after the other through it.
Likewise radiating a strong pungent sll, the environnt was quite unpleasant.
And the passage was very long and narrow; they walked for a while without seeing an end in sight.
“What is this place? It’s so creepy and lifeless; it truly makes one’s stomach turn…”
Weiwei, following behind, couldn’t help but complain.
“If Captain Geng Hu is being kept here, he must be getting depressed!”
“I told you, don’t speak unless it’s absolutely necessary,”
Qin Yuan turned around and spoke to her coolly.
“We don’t know how long this is or how far it goes. We need to conserve our strength just in case, and besides, your talking could alert potential enemies. Understand?”
