Chapter 61
"You two, please stop for a moment..."
Lu Shiyu stepped forward to separate the two, then turned to ask Chen Yunliang, "So, is the person who came here from your family?"
"Yes," Chen Yunliang nodded, "but I have no idea what they want to do."
Tang Zeyu retracted his gaze and asked, "Who do you think the person coming here might be from your family?"
"I don't know," Chen Yunliang sighed and said, "I really can't imagine who in my family could be so stupid."
If I had to pick a possible candidate, it would probably be...

On the helicopter
A team of mercenaries was cleaning their weapons to check if they were ready for use.
A young man wearing a white graffiti-style long-sleeved shirt, dark blue jeans, and a motorcycle jacket stuck his head out from the passenger seat.
"Tsk, why haven't you arrived yet?"
"We're already near where the signal came from. We'll be there soon." The helicopter pilot glanced at the positioning device and said, "The positioning shows that it's nearby."
"Tsk, you said that before too," the young man retracted his head, fiddled with his wind-blown hair and said, "I've been sitting all day, and my butt is numb."
The man in the back seat of the plane heard the young men's conversation, his eyelids twitched, and he leaned over to the strongest man and whispered:
"Captain, is this young master of the Chen family really reliable?"
The man called the captain wiped the blade with a silk cloth. There was not a speck of dust on the silver-white blade. The man raised the knife and held it up to the light. The blade reflected the man's sinister eyes like a mirror.
"He is the employer. He just needs to pay enough commission." The captain put the knife back into the sheath, and the sheath made a short buzzing sound.
"As long as he doesn't cause trouble, it doesn't matter whether he's reliable or not."
The woman sitting next to him paused fiddling with the medicine box.
"But he doesn't look like he won't cause trouble," the woman muttered in disdain. "What young master? He's just a piece of trash raised on a pile of money."
The boy with the bowl-cut haircut said timidly, "Lina, this doesn't sound good to the employer..."
"You're the only one who talks too much!" Lina retorted bluntly, "If you say one more word, I won't treat you anymore!"
"No, no."
"Lina, Neil, stop it," the captain said, knocking his knuckles on the metal to stop the quarrel. "We're going to land soon, don't waste your attention on something like this."
"Hmph!" Lina turned her head and stopped talking.
"Yes..." Neil lowered his head and responded.
The captain turned to the man who spoke first and said, "Bayard, watch them later and don't let them mess around anymore."
Bayard winked at the captain and said, "Leave it to me."
"If they make trouble again, I will break their arms and legs. Anyway, Lina has healing powers, haha."
"Damn it!" Lina's cheeks puffed up with anger. "Bastard Bayard! If you dare to touch me, I won't treat you anymore!"
Listening to the noisy discussions in the back row, the young man couldn't help but roll his eyes, muttering in his heart that they were indeed barbarians with no manners at all.
Although this is just a mercenary team and not a regular exploration team, in the eyes of the young man, there is not much difference between the two. The only difference is that one is not organized and the other is organized.
Thinking that Chen Yunliang was now hanging out with this kind of people, the young man suddenly felt contempt for Chen Yunliang.
What an idiot! He actually abandoned his family status to join some exploration team, hanging out with a bunch of barbarians all day, and didn't even go home!
Even if I had been better at school than him since I was little, so what? It was still because I lost my mind and made a mistake on such a big matter.
Thinking of this, the young man felt an inexplicable sense of superiority and began to imagine Chen Yunliang lying at his feet begging for mercy.
Little did he know that his smug expression had been seen by Lina in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
"Hey, he really does look like a fool." Lina complained in a low voice with disgust.
The helicopter slowly descended into the basin, searching left and right but never intending to actually land. Instead, it kept circling in the air.
"Why aren't you going down yet?" the young man urged, impatiently.
"There's no place to land nearby," the pilot said nervously, "That shouldn't be the case."
"Since they've signaled the base, they'll know they need to clear a clearing for the helicopter to land."
The driver stuck his head out to look around but still found nothing.
"But there are trees all around here. Don't they know they need to clear the area?"
The young man's eyes fell on an area where there were obviously fewer trees, so it could be considered an open space.
"What a hassle! Why not just stop there?"
The pilot looked in the direction the young man pointed and said rather embarrassedly, "But, that's too small. It can only just fit a helicopter. It will easily get stuck in a tree, and..."
"You're so nagging! Just stop when I tell you to!" The young man lost his patience and started yelling, "You already said it could fit a helicopter. If it can't fit, it's just because you're not skilled enough! Then why did my Chen family spend so much money training you?"
The driver swallowed nervously and opened his mouth to say something, but was blocked by the young man's noise.
The Chen family did spend a lot of money to train him. All his food and daily necessities were provided by the Chen family, in order to cultivate a driver with superb skills and loyal to the Chen family.
And now the future person in charge of the Chen family is very dissatisfied with him. If he goes against him again, he might be replaced when he returns. After all, the Chen family has plenty of money and candidates, and they will replace him without hesitation if they think he is not obedient enough.
But he absolutely cannot lose the Chen family as his backing!
After weighing the pros and cons, the fear of losing a comfortable life in the future outweighs the possible dangers in front of us.
Just be careful and you'll be fine.
With this in mind, the driver pulled the joystick, drove towards the small open space, and prepared to land.
When they noticed that the helicopter began to descend, the people sitting in the back row obviously realized something was wrong. The captain leaned out and instantly understood what the pilot wanted to do. He grabbed the pilot in the front row in anger.
"You idiot! Raise the helicopter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the helicopter began to shake violently, almost causing the captain to lose his balance. Fortunately, he grabbed the chair in time and did not fall out of the helicopter. The other people also hurried to find a solid part inside the helicopter to hold on to.
"What's going on!" the young man shouted in horror.
Bayard struggled to grab the fixed facilities and leaned half of his body out, then shrank back with a grim expression.
"Oh no, the helicopter's landing gear is entangled in vines."
The captain gritted his teeth: "Asshole..."
In the woods
The people hiding among the trees looked at the helicopter firmly grasped by the vines sticking out from the treetops and couldn't help but sigh: "We really got fooled."
"What's the difference between this and fishing with a straight hook?" Shao Xingyang turned around and asked curiously, "Chen Yunliang, how did you know they would actually descend this way?"
Chen Yunliang pushed his glasses up: "Hmm... This confirms my guess."
Shaoxing Yang curled his lips and complained to Yan Hong and Lu Shiyu beside him: "He started saying things that others can't understand again."
Not long ago, when the helicopter was still quite a distance away from here, Chen Yunliang suddenly ordered several people to stand up the trees that had been cut down in advance, pretending that the trees were still intact and growing in the ground.
But he still asked everyone to leave an empty area that seemed just big enough for the helicopter to land, but was actually not enough.
Anyone would be suspicious if a clearing suddenly appeared in the dense woods.
Even Shao Xingyang felt that this was too fake and no one would be fooled. However, the helicopter actually flew to the open space and was caught just like their hasty plan.
Chen Yunliang looked at the helicopter that was still struggling and had a rough guess in his mind.
If the helicopter chose to leave, he would not be sure, but it actually wanted to land here. Chen Yunliang immediately guessed who was in the helicopter.
If it were him, even the most outrageous actions would become reasonable.
Chen Yunliang turned to Tang Zeyu and said, "Captain, they will be coming down soon."
"Well," Tang Zeyu stroked the hilt of the knife and said, "When they come down later, kill all those who have the tendency to attack, and leave those who can't attack alone."
"yes."
Now the enemy is in the open and they are in the dark, so an ambush is perfect.
The helicopter wanted to struggle again, and the pilot kept trying to pull the joystick to make the helicopter fly again, but unfortunately the vines below were extremely tough and the trees were deeply rooted in the soil, with no signs of being lifted up.
This silent confrontation ended with the helicopter's propeller becoming entangled in vines and unable to rotate, forcing it to stop.
The helicopter was wrapped by layers of vines in the air. The vines wrapped around the helicopter began to tighten, and dents appeared on the iron sheet of the helicopter. The vines almost dismantled the helicopter.
Several figures took advantage of the time when the vines were busy dealing with the helicopter and jumped out of it.
Only the driver hesitated as he looked at the height from the ground. Because of this moment of hesitation, the vines had silently climbed up his legs and dragged him out.
“Aa ...
Screams were heard from the sky. The few people who landed safely on the ground didn't care about the life or death of the driver at all. As soon as they landed, they became alert to the surrounding environment.
When the young man heard the sound, he subconsciously wanted to look up, but the captain held his head and forced him to look at the ground. The young man, who was treated roughly, was about to get angry, but suddenly saw a few drops of blood suddenly appear on the ground and stopped.
At first there were only a few drops, and then more and more blood fell to the ground, even splattering on the ground like a fountain. If the few people had not moved away after landing, they would have been covered in blood by now.
Even so, the young man still felt as if some warm liquid was dripping on his neck. Fear took over, and he didn't even dare to think about whether the feeling just now was real or an illusion, nor did he dare to think about whether the liquid on his neck was his own sweat or something else.
The young man stood there stiffly, not moving a muscle. Seeing that he didn't resist any more, the captain removed his hand that was pressing on his head and turned his attention back to the surroundings.
The torrential downpour of blood from the sky failed to attract the mercenary team's attention, except for making them feel that it affected their observation and was a nuisance.
As the sound of tearing and pulling came from above, something gradually fell down.
The internal organs fell from above in a scattered manner, like over-ripe and rotten fruits falling to the ground, and were quickly swept away and divided up by other relatively thin vines.
The bright red liquid was absorbed by the earth, leaving only a deep red soil.
