A group of people wearing dark cotton clothes hid in the grass by the roadside, looking closely at the end of the road ahead.
"It's already so late, why hasn't the car come yet?"
The person next to him responded, "Could it be that the people ahead have already succeeded and don't need us anymore?"
"How is that possible? The people who can be sent out to protect Jiang Yan are the elite among the elites. How can we succeed relying on that bunch of rubbish? We'll be lucky if we can throw a few more bottles."
Suddenly, a thin man among the group stood up and said seriously, "No, there must have been an accident."
Several people nearby also stood up.
Someone speculated: "Are they going to the research institute?"
"They are walking into a trap. The car can't go fast in the Parrot's Beak. As long as they pass through there, Jiang Yan will die."
"Let's go ahead and take a look. If they really go to the research institute, our mission is accomplished."
The group quickly headed in the direction of Jiang Yan and the others.
…
Bang!
Jiang Yan slapped a small insect away. Although it was winter, there were still many insects in the grass in the south.
Feeling a little hungry, Jiang Yan put her hands in her pockets and took out three packs of biscuits wrapped in oil paper from the space.
This was what she had prepared before.
There are only three pieces in each pack, just the right size to put in your pocket.
"I don't know how long I'll have to stay, so let's eat some biscuits to fill our stomachs first." After handing the oil paper bags to the two of them, Jiang Yan opened one bag and started eating it slowly.
Seeing the biscuits handed over by Jiang Yan, the squad leader was a little surprised, "Sister-in-law, you bring biscuits with you when you go out?"
"There are many children in the family compound, so I am used to carrying some snacks in my pocket." She looked at the two and whispered, "Try this, I made it myself, and the children in the family compound love it."
When they heard that it was made by themselves, they didn't hesitate any more. They said thank you, took the oil paper package handed to them by Jiang Yan, tore it open, picked up a piece and tasted it.
“Smells so good!”
"Sister-in-law, your craft is really good. It's a pity that you can't do business now, otherwise you can make a lot of money with this craft."
"I cook it for myself, not to make money."
The three of them were chatting in low voices. The road at the foot of the mountain was very quiet. Occasionally, one or two villagers passed by carrying loads on their shoulders or pushing wheelbarrows, but there was no one else.
As he was speaking, a few figures suddenly appeared on the road at the foot of the mountain in the distance through the telescope. They were carrying bamboo baskets and wearing black cotton jackets. They looked like ordinary villagers.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that their walking posture is not like that of ordinary villagers at all. At first glance, you can tell that these people are strong and healthy, unlike the thin villagers.
“Here I come.”
Seeing these people, the squad leader was filled with fear.
"Fortunately we didn't go forward. These guys are quite skilled. If we really faced them head-on, we would be in a very passive position."
Jiang Yan and the guy named Wen Xing quickly looked in the direction the squad leader was looking, and sure enough, they saw a group of strange people who seemed to be talking to each other.
"Damn, the car was abandoned on the side of the road, and they didn't go to the institute, where could these people go?"
"He must have guessed there was an ambush and hid quietly."
"See, I didn't agree with this plan in the first place. The road is so long, where can we find people now?"
"You're making sarcastic remarks now, but why didn't I hear you just now?"
"What could I have said just now? You all want to make a contribution. If I say no, will you agree?"
"alright."
The thin man snorted coldly, stopping everyone from complaining.
He was also very upset now. He thought Jiang Yan had gone to the research institute, but he found the abandoned car halfway. If the person could not be found, the mission would fail. This was their reason.
If they are blamed by their superiors, they will be the ones who suffer.
On the hillside.
Jiang Yan looked at the people at the foot of the mountain and asked in confusion, "What are they talking about? Why do they seem so angry?"
The squad leader put down the binoculars. "They thought we were going to the research institute, but they saw the car Mengzi abandoned halfway. Now it seems that there is some internal strife."
Suddenly, the thin man at the foot of the mountain looked up the hillside, and Jiang Yan and the others immediately tensed up.
Jiang Yan asked nervously, "Will he find us?"
The young soldier Wen Xing replied, "It's impossible at such a long distance."
The three of them quickly hid backwards, nervously paying attention to the situation below the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain.
Seeing the thin man's alert look, the person next to him asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
The thin man said uncertainly: "I feel like I'm being watched."
Another person interrupted, "Special Commissioner, you mean to say they are hiding in this mountain, are you sure? Such a big mountain is not easy to search."
"If we really want to search this mountain, we can't check ahead."
As soon as these words were spoken, some people immediately disagreed.
"There are no signs of climbing the mountain nearby. Don't waste time and miss the best opportunity."
"Instead of searching such a strange mountain, it would be better to search where we found the car. The probability of someone hiding there is higher than here."
Seeing the thin man at the foot of the mountain looking at this side, Jiang Yan became more and more confused, "That person has really been looking at us."
The squad leader next to him suddenly spoke.
"It should be intuition. Some people are born with five sensitive senses and can see through some information that ordinary people cannot perceive. The battalion commander also has this ability."
Wen Xing was a little surprised. "Should we ignore him now? Otherwise, what should we do if they come looking for us?"
"Look, keep looking." Jiang Yan took a closer look at the man, "He hasn't taken any action yet, which has caused dissatisfaction among others. I guess he himself is not very sure.
If we suddenly look away, he will lose his intuition and will be certain that something is wrong."
The monitor nodded in agreement.
"My sister-in-law's words make sense. If he himself is not sure, as long as there is no change, he will probably think it is his own illusion. In addition, other people are dissatisfied with him, so he should not risk offending others to come up and check."
The three of them were talking in low voices, but the crowd down the mountain was arguing louder and louder.
"Special Commissioner, can you please tell me whether to search or not?"
"Let me make it clear first. If we fail to find the person and the mission is delayed, I will not be held responsible."
