Major Xu said to the few people who stayed behind: Before the mission is completed, please bear with it for a while. If you kill any wild animals, you can eat them.
There's no telling where there's gunpowder in this mountain, so just in case, let's not light a fire yet.
The few people who stayed behind nodded. Major Xu was right. Before they knew the situation clearly, they should not start a fire, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
Seeing that they had listened, Major Xu said: Okay, since there are no other questions, everyone can take a rest. We will continue to take turns to keep an eye on it at night...
An Ran slept until the afternoon and was awakened by the smell of blood.
He opened his eyes, looked at the bloody things in the hands of several people and asked: What are you eating?
Several people were very embarrassed, and Fang Ling said: We caught wild rabbits and pheasants, but we were afraid that if we started a fire, it would cause unnecessary trouble, so we ate them raw.
An Ran held her forehead and said while suppressing the nausea in her stomach: Throw away everything in your hands and don't eat it. It's so disgusting.
Then, he opened his bag, took out a lot of snacks, put them in front of them and said: Eat these.
Major Xu asked: You gave us all this, what will you eat?
An Ran waved her hand and said: I still have some in my bag, I won’t starve myself, you guys should eat quickly.
Several people looked at her bag, wondering if it was a magic bag.
Along the way they either hunted for game or ate the food she gave them. They thought she had run out of food, but they didn't expect her to take out so much again. She actually said she still had some.
What kind of magical bag is this? Can we give them a few?
Several people pushed the food aside and said: Comrade An, we have been hunting for game along the way and even eating your food, which makes us feel embarrassed.
You can keep these for yourself. We will eat raw meat. It’s okay. We’ve eaten it before.
An Ran frowned and said: I told you to eat, so just eat, why so much nonsense.
In the past, I had no control over how you ate. You couldn’t eat with me because it would affect my appetite.
Okay, eat quickly. It’s getting dark soon and we have to get down to business after eating.
Without any hesitation, they picked up the snacks, each of them took some, and started eating...
After dark, An Ran and Major Xu went to investigate first, while the others stayed where they were.
After the two arrived at the location, they observed for a while but did not see any human figures.
An Ran said: Comrade Xu, it seems that no one will come tonight. Let's go over and take a look. We can't just wait here forever.
Major Xu nodded and said: Okay, let’s go there now.
The two of them approached quietly. Anran, based on her memory from last night, took out a flashlight, turned it on, and groped on the ground.
After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find any mechanism.
Could it be that the mechanism was activated from inside?
Do they have a secret code that can be opened by knocking?
If that's the case, things become complicated.
If you can't open it, you have to wait for those people to come again, enter the space yourself and follow them before you can go down.
But in that case, I have to find an opportunity to get rid of the people around me.
Major Xu didn't know what she was touching and asked: Comrade An, what are you looking for?
An Ran replied: I'm looking for a mechanism. Last night I was on that tree, observing, and I saw a door open on the ground. Those people came out from here. I remember the location, it's probably here.
So, I want to look around and see if I can find the mechanism to open the door.
After hearing what she said, Major Xu thought for a moment and asked: It's so dark, did you remember the wrong location?
An Ran shook her head and said: No, my night vision is pretty good, I can see it clearly, it’s right here.
Major Xu was about to say something when An Ran quickly covered his mouth, pulled him away, and quickly fled from here.
After the two hid, they saw two people coming out from the place they were just at, holding flashlights and looking around.
An Ran patted Major Xu and gestured with his hands, indicating that they should capture the two men alive one by one.
Major Xu nodded, and the two of them ran towards the sides, one on each side, and slowly approached the two people who were searching everywhere.
An Ran looked at the man not far from her, and quickly took action. She knocked the man unconscious with a knife, caught him, took out a rope, and tied him up.
Major Xu quickly knocked the man unconscious, tied him up, and dragged him to An Ran's side.
He asked in a low voice: Should we go back and interrogate them, or continue to watch them?
An Ran took out two pieces of cloth, stuffed them into the two men's mouths, and said to Major Xu: "Okay, you take one person back first, and then call another person over."
I'll keep an eye on them here first. If these two don't go back soon, someone else will come out. If they find us, we'll be in trouble.
Major Xu didn't waste any time. He picked up a man, carried him on his back and ran away.
An Ran dragged the person in her hand to the side and removed his jaw.
Then, he ran back to where the criminals came out and continued to grope.
The other party was able to come out so quickly, he must have been inside and heard the conversation between me and Major Xu.
I didn’t expect that the other party’s design was so delicate. I just wonder if there is any other exit in this secret room?
Major Xu and a comrade quickly rushed back.
An Ran instructed: Comrade Xu, you go back with me, wake up the two of them, and quickly interrogate them to find out what’s going on in the secret room and whether there’s any other exit.
