Qin Zhiluo gripped the climbing rope, her feet sinking into the rotting mud, and with each step she had to pull her deeply entrenched boots out.
Dark purple poisonous mushrooms hung from the vines that entwined the area, and small flying insects floated in the air with an eerie glow.
Ahead, the miasma surged like thick ink, and animal bones were half-hidden in the pile of decaying leaves, their surfaces riddled with honeycomb-like holes.
Qin Zhiluo used a dagger to cut through the tangled thorns, Fumei sprayed poisonous perfume at the small flying insects, and Mino was filling a small bottle with them.
As dawn broke, Qin Zhiluo lay prone on the edge of the cliff, setting up her sniper rifle—the villa hidden in the clouds was brightly lit.
The villa was surrounded by infrared beams, and patrol teams circled the area every ten minutes, with sentries carrying heavy submachine guns.
She circled the ventilation duct entrance on the map with a pen, saying, "There are too many of them; it's not advisable to force our way in."
"Where are Fu Yi and the others?"
Lin Ximen activated their specially made signal network, and their location was immediately displayed on the tablet: "They're actually in the back mountain."
Qin Zhiluo was monitoring every move in the villa. "Tell them to wait in the back mountain and not to make any rash moves!"
Night fell again
Qin Zhiluo wanted to go in alone and scout ahead first, so as not to alert the enemy.
He was immediately refuted by the other twenty-odd people.
"If we don't go in, we can't find out the specific situation inside, and we don't know if there are still hostages!"
Qin Zhiluo argued her case forcefully based on reason.
"I think this is feasible!"
Everyone froze and turned to look behind them.
Long Yanli appeared before everyone, dressed in a smart training uniform.
Qin Zhiluo's head was about to explode. She patted her head in shock. Could it be that she had been poisoned while traversing the poisonous forest and was hallucinating?
Li Huangchen and Guandu followed closely behind.
Guandu scratched his head awkwardly, "Luo Luo, I was coerced, I really didn't know!"
last night
When Guandu returned to his room, he found Junlin tied to the bed. He instinctively ran over, only to be ambushed by them.
Long Yanli appeared behind the door with an icy gaze. "Send me out of Yundu!"
Guandu looked surprised. "Wasn't she... drugged?"
Long Yanli's expression was very serious. "I'll explain later. I know about that organization. I can't let my baby face this alone!"
Junlin put down the rope in his hand. "Brother Du, with our help, our chances of winning are much greater, aren't they?"
Guandu decided to take the risk and send them out.
...
Long Yanli stepped forward and hugged the little girl tightly. "Baby, I'll sneak in with you!"
Qin Zhiluo was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with heartache, "How did you know?"
Long Yanli held her hand tightly, "Do you remember the Long family spy I captured?"
"The day I discovered you were missing, I had nothing to do, so I used your newly developed method on her son!"
"But I forgot that there were no pills there to stop the bleeding, so I tortured him to death."
"She broke down in tears and said this."
"I have never forgotten the kindness the Long family has shown me, and I have never betrayed the Long family. I will remain loyal to the family head until my death!"
"When I heard those words, everything clicked into place. The patriarch he served was my father!"
Long Yanli was filled with anxiety, his Adam's apple bobbing violently, his voice hoarse, "I don't know how to face you. Everything you've been through was caused by my father!"
"You were acting really strange last night. I suddenly realized that you probably already know. I'm afraid... you don't want me anymore, you'll have a one-night stand, and then you'll knock me out with a needle, what if that happens?"
"I took the antidote you gave me..."
