Chapter 381 Releasing the Bait
The next day at noon, while the main group was resting, Fatty pulled Lao Wu to a tree nearby.
The two ate and chatted casually.
The fat man casually stuffed a biscuit into his mouth, frowning and muttering incoherently.
"Fifth Brother, what kind of situation is this? We went through so much trouble to catch up with Brother Qingyu, but unexpectedly, such a big change has happened here."
"well."
The fifth brother sighed and echoed.
"We didn't expect that someone would jump out and oppose Captain Qingyu. Most importantly, they even kidnapped Dr. Lin and other researchers."
After saying this, the fat man's expression clearly showed some resentment.
"Yeah, yeah! These bastards, of all people to kidnap, why did they have to kidnap Dr. Lin and his group?"
As he spoke, he casually touched his pocket, and the bottle of turbid liquid inside fell to the ground.
The fat man was startled and quickly picked up the bottle of turbid liquid, then hurriedly put it back in his pocket.
Then, he looked around furtively, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was around.
At this moment, the fifth brother frowned and offered a reminder.
"Be careful, you're so careless. If someone sees you like that, we'll be in big trouble."
The fat man nodded quickly.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, no one saw it."
"It's a pity we have so much turbid liquid. We came here to have Dr. Lin purify it. Now, all our good stuff is wasted."
...
Meanwhile, not far behind, a man was quietly crouching behind a large tree.
He was the man Sun Feng sent to keep an eye on Fatty. He was a level 2 evolved human with enhanced hearing and vision.
The conversation between the two people in front of him just happened to reach the man's ears.
His heart pounded the moment he saw the bottle fall out of the fat man's pocket.
Although the fat man picked it up quickly, his sharp eyesight allowed him to immediately recognize what was inside the bottle.
"Turbid liquid! So much of it? This group of people came here to purify turbid liquid."
The man's face lit up with elation. He thought to himself, then focused his attention and listened intently to the conversation between the fat man and Lao Wu from behind the tree.
The next second, the two people in front of him lowered their voices a bit, but he could still hear them clearly.
"Yeah, Fatty, we were lucky to have collected so much turbid liquid. We were supposed to be able to improve our strength as a whole, but now it's all over. There's no hope."
"There's nothing we can do. Those bastards are Brother Qingyu's enemies. We have a very good relationship with Brother Qingyu, so even if we have the turbid liquid, we can't ask those bastards for help."
"Oh, what a worry."
"Alright, stop overthinking. We're leaving tomorrow anyway, so let's get out of this mess as soon as possible."
"Well, with our team's strength, we can't be of much help. Once Sun Feng reaches level 5, we'll likely be affected."
"Yes, although we really want to help Brother Qingyu, in this situation, our own lives are more important."
"Let's go, let's go. After we've eaten and drunk our fill, we'll go back and rest for a while. We still have to travel this afternoon."
...
The man behind the tree saw the fat man and Lao Wu get up from their spots and quickly pulled his head back.
After the two had gone far away, he quietly retreated to the back.
At this moment, his face was filled with excitement. Through the conversation between the two of them, he knew that his moment to make a contribution had arrived.
The next second, he squeezed into the crowd, turned around and ran towards the bus behind him.
...
At the same time, the fat man turned his head and glanced in the direction where the man had disappeared, then smiled with relief.
He had noticed the man who had been staring at him for a long time, and through the information Zheng Deliang had brought, he knew that this man was a genetically evolved human at level 2.
That's why the fat man started using his own methods.
He had just deliberately lowered his voice during his conversation with Lao Wu to a level that ordinary people couldn't hear, but that humans with level 2 evolved genes could.
Details are important; doing so will make the other party more convinced and will absolutely not give anything away.
He knew that from the moment that man left, his mission for the day was accomplished; the bait had been cast, and all that was left was to wait for the fish to take the bait.
...
The fat man thought to himself, feeling incredibly proud.
He winked at the fifth brother and then put his arm around the fifth brother's shoulder.
"Let's go, Fifth Brother, let's head back. There's going to be a good show coming up."
"Get out of my way, stop hugging my neck, you fatso, you're disgusting."
The fifth brother pushed the fat man's arm away with disgust, then walked quickly forward.
These two were just acting out a duet a moment ago, but now they're completely different...
...
Soon, the two returned to the camp.
Han Shuo quickly stepped forward and asked a question.
"How's it going? How's it going? Is everything settled?"
After he finished speaking, the fat man chuckled.
"Of course I'll take charge. My acting skills are top-notch, and I'm incredibly precise with every detail. I won't give myself away at all."
The fifth brother's attitude towards Han Shuo was very good.
He added with a smile.
"Captain Han, don't worry, the matter has been taken care of."
Han Shuo nodded; he also trusted his group of brothers.
Then, his gaze sharpened as he looked at the bus at the back of the camp.
"Sun Feng? It's time to solve this problem for Brother Qingyu."
...
On the other side, the man from before quickly arrived in front of Sun Feng.
He fluently and quickly recounted everything he had just heard and seen.
He even told Sun Feng about the fat man's actions and expressions during his conversation with Lao Wu.
After listening, Sun Feng stood up abruptly.
With a look of ecstatic joy on his face, he quickly asked a question.
"You mean, the new group of people have some kind of turbid liquid on their hands?"
The man was somewhat agitated and responded quickly.
"Commander, I'm sure, I saw it clearly, that fat man had turbid liquid in his hand, and a lot of it, definitely no less than 20 drops."
"Hahaha! Good, good, good! You did a great job, kid. You deserve a lot of credit this time!"
Sun Feng patted his subordinate's shoulder repeatedly with delight.
At that moment, he didn't seriously consider whether the other party had deliberately revealed this.
Because his subordinates described it very clearly, the other party had indeed acted normally just now, and he couldn't figure out why Han Shuo and the others had done this.
He didn't care whether he was using turbid liquid to lure himself in or some other scheme.
Sun Feng knew that with a hostage in his hands, Qingyu's main fighting force would absolutely not dare to make a move.
If Han Shuo and his group are very strong, it's possible that they might use this method to attract attention and set a trap.
However, the opponent is much weaker than themselves, and they do not have any advantage in terms of strength or numbers.
Knowing that you need the turbid fluid, deliberately exposing it is clearly a suicide act, isn't it?
How much trouble can these newcomers cause?
Sun Feng knew about Han Shuo and the others' strength, and based on the feedback from his subordinate's investigation, he instinctively assumed that the matter was unintentional on their part.
