Chapter 336 Danger Approaching

Han Shizhong and Ding Zhu went to find food, while Hu Li closed his eyes to rest, it was unclear whether he had fallen asleep.

Wu Mang was starving and showed no signs of drowsiness.

Meng Jiayi and Su Jin huddled together, chatting every now and then.

Zhao Niuniu, on the other hand, became a complete outsider, with no sense of presence whatsoever.

"We're crossing the river tomorrow, I hope everything goes smoothly." Meng Jiayi tried to hunch over to keep warm.

Once they pass the final hurdle, they will successfully reach their destination and complete their mission.

Su Jin replied confidently, "Yes, I will."

Meng Jiayi suddenly blurted out, "I really want to eat the sauerkraut dumplings my mom makes! And the chicken stew with wild mushrooms, so delicious."

"Meng Jiayi, stop talking, the more you talk, the hungrier I get." Wu Mang interrupted her while swallowing hard.

Meng Jiayi chuckled, "When you have the chance in the future, I'll invite you to my home and take you mushroom picking in the mountains. The wild mushrooms there are big, fresh, and delicious."

Wu Mang's mouth watered just listening to it, his eyes shining. "Great! Jin-jie, Guan An, Fatty, and I will come to your house as guests!"

Su Jin nodded in agreement.

She could sense that during this team operation, their relationship had become much closer than before.

The three chatted casually for a while, but still didn't see Han Shizhong and Ding Zhu return.

They made it clear when they left that they would be back in an hour at most, regardless of whether they could find food.

But now it's clear that an hour has passed.

"Jin-jie, what are you looking at?" Wu Mang noticed that she had started looking around incessantly.

Su Jin said, "Team Leader Han and the others haven't returned yet. Will there be any problems?"

Hu Li, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Wu Mang shook his head almost subconsciously. "He should be fine. Maybe he went too far."

Even if they encounter any danger, Han Shizhong and Ding Zhu are capable enough to escape unscathed.

Moreover, they didn't hear any gunshots or anything like that, which further suggests that the problem isn't serious.

Su Jin looked tense. Since Han Shizhong had set a time when he left, such a mistake should not have occurred.

"Hu Li, what do you think?"

The two exchanged a glance, both equally serious.

Meng Jiayi was also confused and asked in bewilderment, "What's wrong with you? It's just a little late, we can wait a bit longer."

This mountain forest is too big. If they leave here and Han Shizhong and Ding Zhu come back, they will get separated, which will be even more troublesome.

Hu Li stood up, and Su Jin followed suit.

Seeing them like this, Wu Mang and Meng Jiayi couldn't help but follow suit.

Su Jin said seriously, "I think we should still go and find them."

Hu Li stated, "I agree."

Although Meng Jiayi didn't understand why they were so nervous, she still spoke up.

"Then let's all go together. If we encounter any danger, we can help each other out."

Su Jin responded with an "okay," and then called out to Zhao Niuniu, who was a little further away.

A moment later, the five of them packed their bags and headed in the direction Han Shizhong and Ding Zhu had left.

After walking a distance, they could only rely on the faint starlight and the few traces left on the ground to determine whether anyone had passed by.

Another half hour passed, and in the previously oppressively silent forest, a sound came from ahead...
