"It's me."

Grandpa Zhang finally felt relieved and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you bring any water or dry food with you when you went into the mountains?"

"No."

Huo Shao responded in a low voice.

Even after drinking water, I still felt very weak.

"No wonder."

Grandpa Zhang took out a large flatbread from his small bag. "Here, have something to eat first, then we'll talk about the situation later."

"Okay, thank you, sir."

Huo Shaogang, who hadn't eaten for several days, didn't stand on ceremony and took the flatbread to eat.

He looked like he was eating voraciously.

Fortunately, he had already filled a pot with water, so he didn't choke while eating the pancakes in big bites.

I'm so hungry.

He devoured the whole pancake in just a few bites.

Grandpa Zhang handed over another piece.

He ate four large pancakes in a row, finally feeling full.

"Looks like you've eaten enough."

Seeing him let out a burp, Old Master Zhang said, "Could you tell me what happened?"

Why didn't any of you go back?

"Grandpa, you don't know this, it's not that we don't want to go back."

Huo Shaogang responded with a wry smile, "There's a cave not far ahead."

At the time, we all thought that those people who went into the mountains were trapped in the cave.

I was thinking of going in and rescuing the person.

Unexpectedly, we found a completely different world inside after we went in.

Sure enough, they found six young men lying on the ground inside the cave; they had no vital signs.

Before we could even react, the people next to us started to fall down.

At that time, I also felt dizzy and knew something was wrong. My first guess was that there must be poisonous gas in the cave.

While he still had some consciousness, he desperately ran outside.

But I didn't run very far before I was suddenly dizzy and fell to the ground.

Perhaps he always wanted to leave that place.

I don't know how long it took before I barely regained consciousness, so I just desperately crawled out.

"So, you've been poisoned?"

Old Master Zhang couldn't help but scrutinize his expression, and sure enough, he saw that his face had turned a pale purple.

Without saying a word, he took out the antidote pills made by Grandpa Sun, saying, "I don't know if they will work, but you can try them first."

"good."

Huo Shaogang didn't care whether the pill was effective or not, and just threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.

"You should rest for a while."

Grandpa Zhang stood up. "The police will be coming soon. You wait here for them. I'll go check inside the cave first."

"Grandpa, it's dangerous."

Huo Shaogang's expression changed slightly. "I think we should wait until everyone arrives and discuss how to resolve this."

"fine."

Grandpa Zhang shook his head. "I'll go check first. If there are still people alive in the cave, I can rescue them."

"Grandpa, there's poison in the cave, it's definitely dangerous."

"I know, I will be careful."

"It's best if the old man doesn't take any risks, in case something goes wrong..."

"Young Huo, saving lives is the priority."

Grandpa Zhang insisted on going first.

After instructing him to be careful, he headed towards the cave ahead.

"Old man~"

Huo Shaogang struggled to stand up, but he didn't have the strength.

They could only watch him leave helplessly.

...

The first batch of police officers to enter the mountains also came this way.

The county's armed forces department received orders and also headed to Yucha Town.

Some strangers also appeared in Yucha Town.

Shuibu Village.

Lin Jingyu was somewhat restless all day.

Especially when my grandfather didn't return by evening, I felt even more uneasy.

"Jingyu, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Shujue rarely saw her so restless. "Has something happened?"

"There is indeed something wrong."

Lin Jingyu nodded and asked in return, "Do you know what Su Zhiqing is busy with?"

"I know, I heard something happened in Xiakeng Village."

Yang Shujue overheard him say a few words yesterday, but she wasn't entirely clear on the details. "It seems someone has gone missing. What does this have to do with you?"

"Of course it does."

Lin Jingyu sighed inwardly, "My grandfather went to Xiakeng Village to look for someone this morning, and he hasn't come back yet."

"real?"

Yang Shujue's expression changed drastically. "Grandpa Zhang is so old, why did he also go to Xiakeng Village?"

"This kind of thing should be left to the police to handle; why is he getting involved?"

"Because this disappearance case is not simple."

Lin Jingyu had no choice but to explain that there was a forbidden area in the back mountain of Xiakeng Village.

With two groups of people missing, it goes without saying that an ordinary case has become a major case.

The most important concern is that the items in the forbidden area might have been deliberately left behind by the Japanese during the War of Resistance against Japan.

"So that's how it is."

Yang Shujue couldn't help but worry, "Does that mean Grandpa Zhang is in great danger?"

“Not only was my grandfather in danger, but all the police officers who went to Xiakeng Village were also in danger.”

Lin Jingyu sighed, "Grandpa hasn't come back yet. I hope they can all stay alive."

"It seems like Su Jingtian hasn't come back for a day."

Yang Shujue muttered, "He wouldn't have run off to Xiakeng Village too, would he? That guy is really..."

"I'm back!"

A familiar voice interrupted her.

The two looked over at the sound.

Su Jingtian walked in, looking exhausted.

Why are you the only one who came back?

Yang Shujue looked at him and asked, "Where's Grandpa Zhang? Haven't you seen Grandpa Zhang? Why hasn't he come back?"

"Lin Zhiqing, something's happened!"

Su Jingtian's voice trembled, "None of those who went into the forbidden area behind the mountain have returned."
