Luo Chen found some food left behind, but it was just dry rations.

After all, the mercenary group only brought some dry rations with them, nothing else.

After eating something, Number Five felt better, and his pale face gradually regained its color.

He can't move for now, since the injury on his back is still too serious.

"Brother Xiao, I feel much better." Number Five took a sip of water and looked at Luo Chen in front of him.

Luo Chen nodded. The submachine guns placed in front of him were ones he had just collected.

However, there are a couple of good ones that the tall guys can find.

"I'll go up the mountain later and get that sniper rifle," Luo Chen thought to himself.

Having some guns in hand gave Luo Chen a sense of security, and besides, he didn't know how many people were on the other side or what their firepower was.

Those who could take Qi Tianlong and the others away were certainly not ordinary people.

The other side might even have several grandmasters.

Of course, this is just Luo Chen's guess; the answer will have to come from Number Five.

Luo Chen's gaze slowly fell on Number Five, and he looked at him, saying, "Are you feeling better? Can you talk now?"

Number Five let out a heavy breath, a hint of fear appearing on his pale face, and said faintly, "Brother Xiao, they are very strong. At the time, I didn't know what I had discovered."

"Hmm?" Luo Chen frowned.

Brother, you don't know anything about this, do you?

Don't mess with me, it's really upsetting. I finally got some leads, and then suddenly they all disappeared.

Seeing Luo Chen's change, Number Five twitched his lips and chuckled, then said, "No, it wasn't that. The situation was that after you left, the deputy commander asked me to guard outside, and then he took Number Three to find Xiao Jiang and the others."

Number Five swallowed hard and continued, "After they left, I waited behind the car with my gun at the ready. Then, after some time, I suddenly saw several people in white clothes."

"White clothes? Are you sure it's white clothes?" Luo Chen's eyes widened in surprise.

It seems my suspicions were correct; it was indeed those people in white who took Mu Shanhai and the others away.

"Then what?"

Seeing that Luo Chen had reacted, Number Five quickly said, "Then I set up my gun and went out, but for some reason I suddenly felt dizzy. When I woke up, I saw that I had become like this. It wasn't until you appeared that I could vaguely hear some sounds."

"That's it?" Luo Chen stared wide-eyed at Number Five. Was that all the clues they had?

"And then? Think again, what direction did they go, or how did they leave? You must have heard some sounds, right?" Luo Chen asked anxiously.

Number Five squinted, covered his head, and began to recall. After a while...

He opened his eyes and suddenly said, "I remember now. I vaguely heard a voice saying that they couldn't take the main road and had to take another route."

"He also said that his head hurts a lot..." Number Five covered his head, his face was contorted, as if something was constantly stabbing him with needles, making him look very painful.

Luo Chen patted his head and comforted him, "Don't rush, take your time, you should be able to remember something."

All the clues are now on Number Five. Whatever they may be, they can all become useful clues for finding Mu Shanhai and the others.

"We can't take the main road. Who are they? Why can't we take the main road? There's something else going on. We learned from Number Five that he suddenly felt dizzy, which might be because he ate the Six-Leaf Bone. But according to Xiao Jiang, the Six-Leaf Bone doesn't have a big effect. He should be fine after taking some medicine."

"So, who is lying?" Luo Chen stared at the ground, his mind racing through all the clues. He just needed to gather all the evidence.

According to Number Five, either he or Xiao Jiang is lying, or neither of them knows what's going on.

Even now, Luo Chen cannot trust anyone. Perhaps he could trust these people before, but now it seems...

So-called trust is very fake.

Just like when we first entered the dream, the system said that this mission would be very difficult.

"Do you know how to get there?" Luo Chen looked up and asked Number Five.

Number Five pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Let's rest for a while. We'll leave after dawn." Luo Chen looked at the horizon and estimated that it would be another two or three hours before dawn.

I was quite exhausted that night.

Moreover, Number Five's body has not yet recovered.

Luo Chen lay on the ground, gazing at the sky. This mercenary world actually had stars.

Not only did it bring a knowing smile to Luo Chen's face, but lying on the open ground watching the stars was a memory that had been long gone. In reality, when he was a child, he lived with his grandparents in their rural hometown, and summers were just like that.

They would even hold their breath and count the stars in the sky.

That time is gone forever.

After entering the book and the dream world, Luo Chen's life remained the same; in other words, he lived on thin ice.

His life was one of coercion, a gradual growth driven by the system.

"A villain who should have been in the best position has actually fallen to this level. When he gets back, he'll be laughed at to death." Luo Chen said with a self-deprecating laugh.

I never expected to be played like this in the world of mercenaries.

Thinking about it this way, Luo Chen's mood gradually dropped, not because of this matter, but because looking at the stars reminded him of the scene in reality.

Relatives, friends, family members, they flashed by before my eyes like a slideshow.

No matter what Luo Chen becomes, no matter what kind of person Luo Chen becomes.

He was still that boy lying between his grandparents, holding his breath and counting the stars in the sky.

It's like a wanderer who has no choice but to return home. After years of wandering, he always keeps his hometown in his heart, no matter what achievements he makes in a foreign land.

But I still hope to share this joy with my parents, family, relatives, and friends as soon as possible.

This was the first time Luo Chen had felt this way since arriving in the dream world. Although he had returned once before, he still felt a sense of longing.

"Let's go check again when it's light tomorrow. Hopefully we can find some other clues. If I remember correctly, Mu Shiyu didn't eat the Six-Leaf Bone, so she should have been conscious at that time. Hopefully, she left some clues."

As Luo Chen thought this, his eyelids gradually lowered.

Facing the gentle breeze, Luo Chen had a wonderful dream in this world.

In my dream, I lived a completely different life. I didn't enter the book, I didn't have the system, and I didn't become the main villain.

Instead, they follow the routine, unable to go home for the Spring Festival every year for the sake of a little overtime pay and a few times the salary during the Spring Festival.

When he returned home, his parents' gray hair made them seem unrecognizable to him.

The young man departed in haste, but returned without achieving glory in his hometown.

But what awaited him was still the familiar meals his mother had prepared in his memory!
