"Chu Xingyue, close your eyes and rest for a while. I'll keep watch."
Du Kangli watched Chu Xingyue prepare to climb up.
Chu Xingyue paused for a moment as she went up. "No need to change, you rest now, I'll go upstairs," she said, pointing to the big tree above.
Sitting on a tree branch, Chu Xingyue leaned against the trunk and closed her eyes.
Everyone was exhausted after a long day, and they all fell asleep quickly.
The drones in the distance were watching this area, but they didn't dare to get too close.
Several figures appeared within the drone's screen. The camera turned to Chu Xingyue and found that her eyes were still closed.
The person on the other end of the drone looked smug, thinking, "Let's see what you can do now. They're practically hitting you in the face."
Although they were asleep, no one dared to truly fall asleep; they could only doze off for a short while.
At noon, the leaves on the ground were dried by the sun, and stepping on them made a soft, crisp sound.
Du Kangli suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to pinch Wei Haiyang. Wei Haiyang woke up quickly as well, noticing someone approaching around the same time as Du Kangli.
Wei Haiyang pressed his ear against the wall, listening for footsteps, while Du Kangli carefully woke everyone up.
The group exchanged hand gestures, glanced at each other, and nodded.
They were in the shadows, while the person who came was in the light.
Du Kangli gestured to everyone, and everyone pressed their backs against the mound of earth on the side of the low-lying area.
The footsteps above gradually approached, and a figure slowly crept up from above.
The two weaker girls nervously covered their mouths.
Du Kangli made a gesture to Wei Haiyang, who nodded in understanding.
Du Kangli turned around and jumped up, grabbing the two ankle bracelets of the person who came over. The person was caught off guard and was pulled backward, falling to the ground.
"Go up!" Wei Haiyang quickly got up and climbed up, and the others followed suit. They couldn't stay down there forever, or they would all be caught.
The man who fell reacted quickly. The instant he fell, he raised his right foot and kicked Du Kangli's hand away. He rolled over and stood up, warily pointing his gun at Du Kangli. But by the time he picked up the gun, Wei Haiyang had already run behind him, wrapped his arms around his neck, and pressed a dagger against his artery.
"Don't move, put down the gun."
“We only have a dagger, but you have a gun.”
Lu Zehua circled around the man and snatched the gun from his hand.
Even after his gun was taken from him, the man wasn't angry; he acted as if he was completely at the mercy of the other man.
"Tell me, did anyone come with you? What is your purpose in attacking us?"
Wei Haiyang raised his dagger and pressed it against the man's neck.
They just wouldn't speak.
“There are too many of us in this group, we’re too big a target, we need to split up.” Wei Haiyang looked at the dozen or so people surrounding the captured man. If they were acting alone, they would have been spotted by now and wouldn’t have come out. They had to split up temporarily.
"In this way, we will advance in two directions and meet up every two hundred meters, taking turns to advance. If we encounter a similar situation again, we will be able to spot it, and we will not miss support because we are too far away."
“I agree, Zheng Hong and Tian Jingjing will come with us.” Du Kangli suggested taking the two weaker girls with him.
A small team consisting of Junyan, Lengshuang, Wei Haiyang, Zhang Cheng, Chu Jiaojiao, and Xia Yiyang.
A team consisting of Du Kangli, Lu Zehua, Lu Tianxin, Zheng Hong, Tian Jingjing, Jia En, and Tang Jiayou
Chu Xingyue woke up the moment the person stepped on her. Seeing the person captured, Chu Xingyue noticed that there were still people advancing towards her in the distance.
