Mou Xuan hung up the phone and swept his deep gaze over everyone. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
"We're being targeted." His tone was calm, but it was like a bomb exploding in everyone's heart.
Engineer Lin's face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
Explorer Xie subconsciously touched the dagger at his waist and looked around vigilantly.
Although Guo Shanmin remained silent, his clenched fists revealed his inner anxiety.
"Why are you panicking? If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth!" Mou Xuan shouted in a low voice, and his calm aura instantly infected everyone.
He quickly arranged countermeasures: "Lao Lin, you are responsible for contacting a reliable transportation company and make sure all the supplies are delivered to the designated location tomorrow morning. Lao Xie, you take people to survey the terrain around the valley and set up a cordon. Any suspicious persons must be arrested! Lao Guo, you are responsible..."
After completing the arrangements, Mou Xuan came to the window alone, looking into the distance with deep eyes.
He knew that the game had just begun.
Sure enough, the next morning, the transport company's convoy was blocked by unidentified persons as soon as it set out.
The other side came with great force and was well-trained, and it was obvious that they were well prepared.
Mou Xuan sneered, having already expected them to take action.
The security personnel he arranged in advance immediately launched a counterattack and a fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides.
"Hmph, a mere trifle." Mou Xuan looked at the surveillance footage with a hint of disdain on his face.
He had already predicted the opponent's route of action and set up an ambush in advance.
The opponent obviously underestimated his strength and was quickly defeated.
"Boss, the other side has retreated!" a security guard reported excitedly.
Mou Xuan nodded. "Want to run? That's not that easy!" He picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Help me check who these people are from..."
At the same time, on the way to the valley, Explorer Xie and his group also encountered trouble.
There are countless dangers hidden in the dense jungle.
Venomous snakes, ferocious beasts, traps and hidden weapons make every step thrilling.
"Be careful!" Explorer Xie shouted, and the dagger in his hand shot out accurately, nailing a venomous snake that was waiting for an opportunity to attack to the tree trunk.
"Thank you!" A team member patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Everyone, cheer up! Don't let anything go wrong!" Explorer Xie reminded.
Everyone moved forward cautiously, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead...
"What's going on?" Explorer Xie asked vigilantly.
Dust was flying and gravel was everywhere.
The road leading to the new location was completely destroyed, as if it had been ravaged by a giant beast, and it was in ruins.
Looking at this sudden change, Mou Xuan frowned, and a nameless anger burned in his chest.
"Who the hell did this? Are they kidding me?!" Mou Xuan couldn't help but swear, the anxiety in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt.
Time was running out, every minute and every second was extremely precious, and this sudden change undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on him.
A heavy feeling of depression hung over everyone's heart, and everyone's breathing became heavy.
Engineer Lin's face turned pale, and he said with trembling lips: "What...what should I do? This road is totally impassable!" He thought to himself, this is the end, it will definitely delay a lot of time.
He secretly glanced at Mou Xuan and saw that his face was gloomy, like the calm before the storm, which made him even more uneasy.
However, just when Engineer Lin thought that Mou Xuan would order the roads to be cleared and prepare for a long battle, Mou Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a confident smile.
"If the mountains don't move, the water will move. If the roads don't move, we will move! Lao Lin, have you forgotten what I said before? Never put all your eggs in one basket."
Mou Xuan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he quickly scanned the surrounding environment.
After a moment, he pointed to a path not far away that was almost covered by dense vegetation and said, "Go this way!"
Engineer Lin was surprised. He had never noticed this path before.
"Is this... is this possible? This road doesn't look easy to walk on..."
"It's better if it's not easy to walk! The more hidden the place, the safer it is." Mou Xuan's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
"Follow us, don't fall behind!"
The group walked along this rugged path. The dense branches and leaves blocked out the sun, the light was dim, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
After walking for about an hour, an open area suddenly appeared in front of us.
"Wait!" Mou Xuan suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. He keenly sensed something strange, "This place... is a little bit wrong..."
This open area seemed calm at first glance, but Mou Xuan's keen intuition told him that things were not that simple.
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of earth, forming a strange harmony.
The surrounding trees were lush and leafy, but it was eerily quiet. Not even the sound of birds or insects could be heard, as if the mute button had been pressed.
"Everyone be alert! This place is very weird!" Mou Xuan lowered his voice and scanned the surrounding environment like a hawk.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately tensed up, gripped their weapons tightly, and looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, Explorer Xie pointed to a mountain wall covered with vines in front of him and exclaimed, "Boss, look at that!"
Everyone looked in the direction that Explorer Xie pointed, and saw a huge cave suddenly appearing on the mountain wall. The entrance of the cave was blocked by dense vines, and it would be difficult to find without careful observation.
"Wow! This place is amazing!" Engineer Lin exclaimed, "It's like a natural fortress!"
What’s more important to Mou Xuan is that there is a clear stream near the cave, so the water source problem is also solved.
"Brothers, let's go in and take a look!" Mou Xuan waved his hand and led the way towards the cave.
As you enter the cave, a cool breeze hits you. The cave is spacious and bright, with stalactites in various shapes, which are breathtakingly beautiful.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them and expressed admiration.
"This...this is too awesome!"
“It’s simply a paradise on earth!”
"Boss, you are amazing! You actually found such a great place!"
Mou Xuan looked at everyone's excited expressions, his mouth corners slightly raised, and he thought to himself: "This is the real safe house!"
"Okay, okay, don't just stand there, hurry up and move the supplies in!" Mou Xuan gave an order, and everyone immediately took action to move the supplies into the cave.
Looking at the mountains of supplies, Mou Xuan's face was filled with a smile of victory.
He knew that he had finally found the location for the safe house he had always dreamed of.
However, just as everyone was cheering, Mou Xuan suddenly thought of something. His smile gradually disappeared, his brows knitted, and he muttered to himself, "Wait... It seems that something is missing..." He turned his head sharply and looked at Engineer Lin, "Old Lin, those high-strength alloy steel plates I asked you to prepare last time..."
