Then he led Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng into the mountains.
The person in charge saw them enter the mountains, and his sinister nature was immediately revealed. He then went back to report.
After the person in charge left, Ye Yunxi said to Li Yan.
"That person is gone. When we go inside, we need to be on high alert to avoid being ambushed."
Li Yan nodded solemnly, then called for everyone to stop and spoke to the soldiers.
"We're now entering the mountains, so everyone be on high alert. Pay close attention to your surroundings, and if you spot anything, shout it out immediately. Understand?"
"clear!"
The soldiers shouted in unison.
Then Li Yan and the others led the way, while Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng walked at the very back, fearing that someone might launch a surprise attack from behind.
They cautiously raised their pistols and walked forward, observing their surroundings.
The man leading the way parted the grass with his foot, and suddenly a rabbit darted out from the side. The two soldiers in front screamed in fright.
The little incident passed quickly. Ye Yunxi and the others walked slowly until they came to a pit. The people in front saw a corpse inside, and Li Yan went down to check it out himself.
Li Yan, holding a tree branch, pried open the corpse. There were needle marks and whip marks on the body. There was a knife wound on the head. It appeared to be a male corpse.
After Li Yan came up, he spoke to Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng.
"This man's death is somewhat suspicious. He has many needle marks and whip marks on his body, as well as a knife wound on his head. I suspect he suffered a lot of torture before he died."
Fu Heng glanced at the corpse in the pit, thought for a moment, and said.
"We don't know what dangers lie ahead, but we must all be careful. Let's keep our distance so we can provide timely assistance if any danger arises."
Li Yan nodded in agreement with Fu Heng's words and then addressed the soldiers.
"Gentlemen, we don't know the dangers ahead, but you must remember one thing: besides following my orders, you must also follow the orders of these two men. Understand?"
"Yes, we understand," the soldiers shouted in unison.
Then Li Yan and his group continued walking in, and after about fifteen minutes, they saw a cave in the distance.
Ye Yunxi and the others hid in the bushes, watching towards the cave. There were two people guarding outside. It was impossible to tell which country they were from.
Just then, a man came out and walked towards Ye Yunxi and the others, but they remained still.
When the man reached Ye Yunxi and the others, he was about to take off his pants to urinate when his men grabbed him and dragged him away.
Upon arriving at a certain place, Li Yan had the man tied up, pointed a gun at him, and asked in a cold voice.
"Tell me, what were you doing in the cave? Why were people dying?"
The man, who was tied up, was also very angry and kept babbling incoherently.
When Ye Yunxi heard the man speak, she was surprised to learn that he was pregnant and had actually come to their country.
Li Yan couldn't understand what the man was saying, so he interrupted him.
"What do you mean? Are you some kind of nobody? What are you doing in our country? Tell us the truth, or we'll kill you right now."
The man chuckled and spoke in broken Chinese.
“You’re right, I am a member of the Xiao Ri Zi people. As for why we came to Z country, why should we tell you? If we tell you, let me go right now. Do you even know who I am? If our people find out I’m gone, they will attack you.”
After hearing what the man said, Ye Yunxi remembered the needle marks on the corpse. So she said to the man...
"Let me think. You came to Country Z to conduct experiments, right?"
The man looked at Ye Yunxi in disbelief, not expecting that she knew all this.
"How did you know? Who are you?"
Ye Yunxi raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“You don’t need to know how I know this. I also know that you made a deal with the base down the mountain. They provide you with humans to ensure their own safety, right?”
The man's eyes widened. "You...who exactly are you? Oh. I know, you're in cahoots with the people down the mountain."
Ye Yunxi stopped talking to him and pulled Li Yan and Fu Heng aside, whispering something to them.
"I've confirmed it. They have a deal with Liu Dayong. I was just testing him earlier, but I didn't expect it to be true. This cave is probably one of Xiao Rizi's experiments. As for what they're experimenting with, we don't know. We'll have to go and investigate."
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's observe the terrain here first, then ask the local people how many people are in the cave, and then we'll plan how to attack."
Fu Heng disagreed with Li Yan's statement.
"They're too conspicuous during the day. We can give this little rascal a warning first and get him to tell us everything he knows. Then we'll go back to the base and discuss it with Professor Hu and Elder Ye. Even if we're coming to wipe them out, we should wait until night."
Ye Yunxi considered it for a moment and agreed with Fu Heng's statement. "Fu Heng is right. Let's go back and discuss it first, and then come back tonight to wipe out these petty scoundrels."
Li Yan nodded, so they went back and severely tortured the young man, only to find out that there were about fifty people in their cave.
They are experimenting with a drug that can turn people into monsters, wipe out all the people in our country, and then they will live a good life and occupy Country Z.
After Ye Yunxi and the others made the young man tell them everything they knew, Li Yan slit his own throat, signaling his men to kill the young man.
After they killed the man, they threw him into the grass and covered him with leaves.
Having done all this, they returned to base.
