Before entering, Tang Lin and I prepared some incense, wrapped it up, and hid it in our shoes. Once we were inside, they didn't immediately experiment on us. Instead, they kept us locked up and deprived us of food. Tang Lin and I speculated that they wanted to starve us, leaving us too weak to resist before attacking us.

Since they wouldn't give us food, we took this opportunity. After four or five days inside, we lit the incense, knocking everyone inside unconscious. Then, we began looking for the formulas for their biochemical weapons, but it was all written in enemy spies' language, which we couldn't understand.

We could only write down what they highlighted. Although we didn't recognize their characters, Tang Lin and I had excellent memories since childhood. Even if we didn't recognize a character we'd seen, we could still copy it down. So, every other day, we lit the incense and wrote down what they'd highlighted.

Originally, Tang Lin and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to kill those enemy spies. However, our incense was too weak to knock out the enemy spies who were close by, and the guards outside would not be affected.

Most importantly, we wanted to bring back intelligence, so we gave up the idea of ​​killing the enemy spies. For several days, Tang Lin and I took down all their important notes. Furthermore, we destroyed them as we wrote. When they discovered this, they became enraged and beat us and other civilians, forcing us to reveal who had done it.

Perhaps seeing we were powerless to resist, or perhaps believing we were incapable of doing anything, they stopped questioning us. Instead, they conducted an internal investigation, but after two days, they hadn't found anything. Tang Lin and I had originally planned to use this opportunity to find a way to escape.

But one night, Tang Lin and I both felt a little uneasy, and we couldn't quite put our finger on why. Just then, a man appeared in the cave. Tang Lin and I leaned against the cell door, trying to get a clear view of him, but we could only see his silhouette. Furthermore, he was wearing a black cloak, and except for his feet, everything else was wrapped tightly, even his head.

We couldn't see his face, so we could only hear his voice. It was as if he was deliberately suppressing his accent. But Tang Lin and I were certain the person was Chinese. While we couldn't be absolutely certain, the tone of his voice suggested he was in his forties.

Moreover, we vaguely heard the man mention Tang Lin and I. We both felt a little nervous and worried, afraid that we were overthinking it, and afraid that we would be discovered and fail to complete the mission.

Sure enough, after that person left, the enemy agents took Tang Lin and me out and locked us in another cell, where Zhen Luonan was. They started beating us like crazy, asking us who we were and whether we were responsible for destroying their formula. They also asked us to write down the formula.

We both gritted our teeth and endured. Zhen Luonan gave us one of the steamed bread he had hidden. He also told us he had a way to escape and asked if we wanted to join him. But Tang Lin and I were still a little wary of him. After all, everyone else was imprisoned together, and he was the only one held alone, and he wasn't in such a bad state.

Two days later, we discussed it and decided that rather than being beaten to death and not being able to expose their crimes, we might as well give it a try. We didn't care if Zhen Luonan was a problem or not, we just wanted to get out first. So we agreed to Zhen Luonan's request and escaped with him.

But after escaping, Tang Lin and I felt something was wrong. This escape was too smooth! We began to be on guard against Zhen Luonan. Sure enough, on the way back, he kept asking if the enemy's formula was related to us.

Tang Lin and I discussed it secretly. He should return first, and I would stay to hold Zhen Luonan back. We were hungry from the moment we entered, and later only had one steamed bun a day. We were also beaten several times, and we were too weak. If we left together, it would waste time and be unsafe.

After listening to my suggestion, Tang Lin left his only steamed bread to me and went back. When Zhen Luonan came back from the bathroom, he saw that Tang Lin was not there, so he asked me where Tang Lin had been. I said he had gone to the bathroom.

Later, Zhen Luonan discovered I'd deceived him. Seeing Tang Lin still hadn't returned, his true colors were revealed. He pulled out a gun and tried to kill me. I fought him desperately, and he shot me in the chest. I struggled to wrestle his gun away and shot him in the stomach. As he charged, I shot him in the leg.

He pounced on me, hit me on the back of the head with a stone, grabbed the gun and was about to kill me. In a daze, I saw the man in the black cloak again, who stopped Zhen Luonan from killing me.

I vaguely heard him mention Tang Lin, and I was anxious, wanting to listen carefully. Zhen Luonan then shot me twice in the leg and arm, and I completely fainted. I don't know what happened after that.

Hearing this, An Ran fell into deep thought. If Cao Mo was right, then besides Zhen Luonan, someone else had been following them. Tang Lin had returned first to report the news, and by the time Cao Mo vaguely heard Tang Lin's name, he was probably already beaten to death. So who was this person in the black cloak? Cao Mo said that he sounded like a Chinese, a soldier, and about forty years old. This person must be quite capable!
