He could have simply come out and left without needing anyone to chat with the guards at the watchtower, but since he needed to bring Lin Yue into the base, he had to try and get on their good side.
In addition, thanks to Cen Shen's fear of death, he stayed in a room on the side facing the cliff, not the side next to the door, for fear that someone would climb through the window and kill him.
That's why he dared to use this method to get Lin Yue in; otherwise, he was really afraid that Cen Shen would hear the door open and stand by the window watching them.
Seeing that the people on the watchtower weren't paying attention to what was happening below, Lin Yue took advantage of the moment when the patrol team outside passed by and immediately took out her skis to ski into the base.
Unlike Yuquan Base, Qinglong Base did not clear the ice layer completely; otherwise, they would have had to run, which would not have been as fast.
Lin Yue quickly passed by Cang Yu and Cang Jue without even saying hello. She stopped at the bottom of the watchtower, gave Cang Yu an "OK" sign as he looked inside, and when she saw that Cang Jue wasn't looking over, she immediately went into her spatial dimension. She needed to hide for a bit and then sneak into the hotel later.
Fortunately, the watchtower was built simply, like the kind of watchtowers used for setting up camp in ancient times. It was supported by a few wooden beams at the bottom and had a plank on top. It was surrounded by a simple wooden ladder to climb up. Otherwise, it would have been really hard to hide underneath.
Cang Jue had been keeping an eye on the outside. When he looked back inside, Lin Yue was already gone. He silently sighed in his heart, "My sister-in-law is really fast, and she's so lucky."
Cang Yu frowned deeply as he watched Lin Yue rush in recklessly.
Seeing her disappear again, he thought for a moment and walked down to the watchtower. He took out his walkie-talkie and said, "I live in the last room on the right side of the fifth floor, 512. There are no patrols inside the hotel, but there are patrols in the courtyard. Be careful. Try to get to my room door first. If you can't get there, wait here for me to come back and bring you."
He didn't know if Lin Yue could hear him. If she could, that would be good. If she couldn't, he would have to find another way to search for her all over the base.
However, he needs to go out and hunt a few wild boars first. Opening the base gate so late at night without a reason is unacceptable to anyone except Cen Shen. Even Cen Shen's deputy, the second-in-command Xu Wude, would be suspected by Cen Shen if he didn't have a legitimate reason.
Cang Yu felt that it was a disgrace to his brothers that there were still people among them who were so afraid of dying.
After saying that, he looked up and shouted, "Third brother, let's go. We'll be able to sleep better after we hunt the wild boar. You're so energetic that you're keeping me awake. Let's go and come back quickly."
I've gone out to hunt wild boar late at night before, so it's a good excuse.
"Alright, bro!" Cang Jun responded from the watchtower, his shout echoing throughout the entire base.
He told the guard on duty, then led his underlings down the stairs. They went down to the bottom, huddled next to Cang Yu, and whispered something to each other.
"Brother, where's sister-in-law?"
He had noticed it earlier too; Lin Yue had come to the watchtower, but now she was nowhere to be seen, and he hadn't seen her go into the hotel either!
"Stop talking nonsense, get out." Cang Yu left immediately.
This is not the place to talk.
The group walked out of the base, closing the gate behind them; they needed to go hunt wild boars.
Lin Yue was in the space, so of course she heard Cang Yu's words, and not only his words, she also heard Cang Jun's questions.
When did she become a sister-in-law?
He frowned, but no one questioned him, so he let it go.
Cang Yu just said he lives on the fifth floor, room 512, and told her to wait for him at the door when he comes back.
Although she didn't really want to, there wasn't a good solution right now. After all, she wasn't familiar with the area, and having someone who knew the place well to explain things to her would save her a lot of trouble.
After thinking for a while, and hearing no sound outside, she came out of her space, looked at the hotel entrance and exit, and then went back into her space.
The hotel is currently covered by ice up to two and a half layers deep, so the ice must have been cleared, otherwise it wouldn't have only covered two and a half layers.
The entrance and exit were originally just windows, but they were modified into doors. They were sliding glass doors, and from the outside, you could see a room inside, with no one guarding it.
Cang Yu just said that there are no patrols in the hotel, so once inside, we only need to watch out for base residents who may appear at any time, which is much easier than having guards every three steps outside.
It's from here past the watchtower...
She had just been watching from outside and noticed that the spotlight was only sweeping the outside. But now that she's inside, she realized that the spotlight was also sweeping the yard when she went out earlier.
It's about 20 meters from the watchtower to the hotel. Running there would only take a few seconds, but there's another problem: there are also patrol teams in the courtyard.
As Cang Yu just mentioned, there are patrols in the courtyard. She was lucky just now; she ran in without confirming with Cang Yu, so she probably just happened to run into the patrol team.
To verify the patrol and sweeping frequency, Lin Yue immediately came out of the space after hearing no sound, just in time to see the patrol team walk past the corner of the hotel.
As soon as they disappeared around the corner of the hotel, the searchlights on the watchtower began to sweep across the courtyard. The searchlights were turned off only when the patrol team's footsteps were heard again, and Lin Yue immediately entered her spatial dimension.
Then came the clear sound of footsteps passing by.
Lin Yue no longer wanted to think about how afraid of death the base chief was. Given the frequency of the outer patrols, why didn't he just put the patrol team on his belt?
Lin Yue was right. Cen Shen practically had people following him everywhere he went, even in hotels.
When Cang Yu first arrived, he couldn't help but sigh, even after being reborn, Cen Shen was even more afraid of death than in his previous life.
"Yueyue, what are you doing?" Kongling couldn't help but ask when she saw Lin Yue sitting still with her brow furrowed so tightly it looked like a mosquito was trapped between her eyebrows.
"I'm thinking about how to get through here safely into the hotel," Lin Yue told Kong Ling directly, without hiding anything.
"Do you really need to think about something this simple?" Kong Ling looked at Lin Yue as if she were an idiot.
Lin Yue turned to look at her. Although she was being mocked, she didn't mind. Since the space couldn't be moved, she wanted to see what Kong Ling could do.
"Tell me more." She listened attentively.
"Have you forgotten that you have two invisibility cloaks? Just put them on and you'll get through easily," Kong Ling said without hesitation, offering her solution.
Lin Yue's expression froze.
She admitted that Kong Ling's expression was accurate this time; she was a fool for forgetting something so important.
If she had put it on directly just now, would she have needed to rush so desperately for fear of being discovered?
Not to mention just now, even tonight when those people were moving things, she could have easily slipped in. Why would she need to hesitate here for so long?
Although she can only use the clothes for ten minutes at a time, she has two sets!
Although one of the items was Cang Yu's size, it was a bit too big, but not unwearable. So, she would have twenty minutes.
Lin Yue pulled Kong Ling over, kissed her on the face with her big mouth, almost swallowing her head, and then found the invisibility cloak.
