"Captain Liu, why don't you go and charge your phone first?"
Captain Liu didn't stand on ceremony. He took the power bank Lin Xue handed him and started charging his old phone.
Instead of waiting foolishly on the road, the two of them ducked into the bushes beside them.
That way, even if the people who come later aren't our own, they won't discover that there are two people hiding here.
Soon, Xiao Zheng caught up with him again.
He stopped where Lin Xue and the other person had been, looking in the direction of the cabin, unsure of what to do.
“Phi phi~”
Captain Liu immediately made a sound, attracting Xiao Zheng from outside.
"Captain, so you were hiding here?"
When Xiao Zheng saw the two of them, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Zheng, you wait here. I've already called the team, and they'll send someone over soon!"
"By the way, does your phone still have battery?"
Thanks to Lin Xue's previous reminder, Captain Liu now knows to use high technology.
"Captain, my phone was fully charged before I left home, and it's fully charged now!"
Xiao Zheng turned on his phone screen and showed it to Captain Liu.
"That's good!"
Captain Liu nodded, feeling a little guilty. Why was he the only one who always forgot to charge his phone?
"Comrade Zheng, please add me as a friend. We'll send you the route via location later!"
"You stay here and don't show your face until our people arrive!"
"As for the people in the cabin, let them leave if they want. You don't need to follow them anymore!"
Seeing that Captain Liu was still dawdling and chatting with Xiao Zheng about these trivial things, Lin Xue immediately became a little anxious.
Gu Minglei is still in the hands of the other party. He should have been taken to the secret passage and headed to the place where labor is needed.
What they need to do now is catch up quickly, leaving Xiao Zheng here to negotiate with the people behind.
"Comrade Lin is right, Xiao Zheng, you stay here and wait for the others!"
Hearing Lin Xue's urging, Captain Liu no longer hesitated. He got up and went around to the back of the cabin with Lin Xue from the other side.
Lin Xue pretended to lie on the ground and listen the whole way.
It seems that this action can actually detect whether there are any cavities underground.
Guided by the radar system, Lin Xue and Captain Liu traversed mountains, crossed rivers, and climbed slopes.
Lin Xue stopped Captain Liu from continuing forward when both of them were covered in dust and dirt.
"The exit should be up ahead. Let's go around that way!"
Lin Xue pointed to the low bushes next to her.
"Alright, leave the professional matters to the professionals. Comrade Lin, you can lead the way!"
After this long journey, Captain Liu had immense respect for Lin Xue.
Look at that girl, she carries a backpack with her wherever she goes, and it's full of the supplies she needs.
Unlike these seemingly professional people, who only bring their two legs when going on a mission.
Of course, we brought weapons, but they didn't seem to be of much use in this kind of environment.
After turning past the bushes, the two saw an open space ahead with many small wooden houses built on it.
I also saw quite a few thin figures walking around inside.
Some people still had shackles on their feet, making a rattling sound as they moved their legs, their ankles already rubbed raw and bloody.
"What the hell are these bastards doing here?"
Captain Liu gritted his teeth, unsure of what these people were up to. But judging from the situation, it was clear they were a criminal gang.
"Captain Liu, does that thing drying on the ground look familiar?"
Lin Xue pointed to the things that the laborers were drying.
From a distance, it's not very clear.
However, it can be discerned that they are small, oval-shaped balls, and their color is rather dark!
"It's too far away, I can't see very clearly!"
Captain Liu squinted, unable to make out what was being dried in the sun.
"Here, Captain Liu, you can use my phone to look!"
Lin Xue handed her smartphone to Captain Liu, then made a magnifying gesture with her index finger and thumb, instantly magnifying the image on the phone screen countless times.
"hiss!"
"This is……"
"They're doing something that will get them killed! How dare these heartless bastards do such a thing?"
Now, Captain Liu finally saw what was covering the drying ground, and he was so angry that he started trembling.
"Captain Liu, please calm down. Let's send our location back home first, and then explain the situation here!"
Lin Xue suppressed Captain Liu's somewhat irritable emotions, fearing that he might lose control and rush out.
"Yes, yes, we must report what's going on here first!"
Captain Liu took several deep breaths to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
"My phone has no signal!"
I just finished editing the message, but unfortunately I can't send it.
A large red exclamation mark appeared on Captain Liu's phone screen.
"Captain Liu, please use my phone!"
"I bought the top-of-the-line version of this phone, which has multiple satellite signals!"
Lin Xue handed her phone to Captain Liu. She was surprised that the police officers in remote areas were working so hard that they didn't even have a decent phone.
The phone that Captain Liu is holding has probably been used for at least 10 years.
