Chapter Seventy-Nine: Finding the Place
Upon hearing this, a hint of fear flashed in Zhang Bai Kui's eyes. Why had he traveled all this way to come here? Wasn't his goal to achieve immortality?
If he dies here today, what's the point of everything he's done?
But if he takes people to that place, he will still face certain death. However, if he is arrested and taken to the police station, that would be a different story. Those people would definitely try their best to get him out, since his knife is much more useful than an ordinary knife.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect you to find out. The child has already been taken to town and is scheduled to take a bus to the city. If you go now, you might still be able to save him."
Lin Baozhu stomped hard on Zhang Baikui's ankle, accompanied by Zhang Baikui's scream, and asked sharply, "Even now you still won't tell the truth? Do you think I don't know your hideout is on this mountain? Otherwise, you wouldn't have killed that female educated youth and thrown her into the pond to mislead the police and intimidate the surrounding villagers!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Baikui's pupils dilated, and the terror on his face was clearly visible.
He stammered, "How did you find out?"
"We started investigating as soon as the body was discovered. Otherwise, why do you think no one has come looking for you after all these years of wanted posters in town? That was a smokescreen we set up to make you think they had no information about your whereabouts, thus lowering your guard. Zhang Bai Kui, you killed so many people. If it weren't to lure out the people and forces behind you, do you think you would still be alive?"
Lin Baozhu spoke half-truthfully, and if Zhang Baikui were in good health, he would have immediately noticed the many loopholes in her words. But now, the pain filled his mind, leaving him no energy to think about the truth or falsehood of her words.
"Are you police?"
"Otherwise what?"
Zhang Baikui suddenly jumped up, but he could only sit up; he couldn't even lift his arms or legs.
Seeing his bloodshot eyes and impotent rage, Lin Baozhu reached for the gun at his waist, about to aim it at his leg, when a series of chaotic gunshots came from afar. The two quickly exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Zhang Bai Kui laughed twice: "It seems you two aren't going to leave here alive today. Those people have already found us. You stole my gun, but how many people can you kill? There are over a hundred of them. I'm doomed, but having the two of you keep me company on the road to the underworld isn't a bad deal..."
Qin Haifeng grabbed his collar, his eyes burning with anger: "What exactly are you all doing, surrounding us in the mountains?"
"Want to know? Go look it up yourself!"
Seeing that he refused to talk, Qin Haifeng knocked him unconscious with a karate chop, then grabbed Lin Baozhu's hand and said, "You go to the town and report to the police, and have them request support from the army. I'll sneak over and see what's going on."
“If what Zhang Baikui said is true, then you’re going to take on more than a hundred people by yourself? Are you crazy? I’ll go with you. More than a hundred people is indeed a lot, but as long as we use our brains, the two of us can easily wipe them out.”
After saying that, she glanced at Zhang Bai Kui. Although the old beast's hands and feet were crippled, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't wake up and hide somewhere, or be eaten by a pack of wolves that came looking for the blood. In that case, the thousand yuan that was about to be eaten would be gone.
Thinking of this, she took out a handful of sleeping pills from her bag and sprayed them directly on his face. Then she drew a circle on the spot, sprinkled some snake-repelling powder around it, and sprinkled snake-attracting powder outside the circle. The moment the snake-attracting powder was sprinkled, a rustling sound came from not far away, and a bamboo viper slithered down from the tree and headed towards the circle. But as soon as it reached the outside of the circle, it could no longer get any closer...
"Done. Now, even if he wakes up in the middle of the night, I don't have to worry about him running away."
The rustling sounds drew closer, and Lin Baozhu grabbed Qin Haifeng's hand, running quickly towards the south side of the forest. The gunshots had come from that direction.

The two men were hiding behind a large rock, looking at everything in surprise. They saw Yang Sanlang and a dozen or so strangers tied up and surrounded by several men dressed in coarse cloth and carrying guns.
To Geng Lin Baozhu's surprise, among those who were tied up was the head of the large pigsty...
"No, don't shoot! We're just looking for a child."
The man in the lead held his head and explained in a low voice.
"Looking for a child? What child?"
“A five or six-year-old boy went missing in Dageba Village early this morning. We were asked by the brigade leader to go into the mountains to look for the child.”
The group exchanged quick glances, all noticing the excitement in each other's eyes.
That child is truly a treasure; his blood is purer than that of a newborn baby. There must be some secret hidden in this village of Big Scars.
It seems they need to go to Big Scar Village to investigate what kind of unspeakable secrets that village holds.
Thinking of this, the leader, gun in hand, said bluntly, "Now that you've discovered our secret, don't even think about leaving..."
As the man with the gun finished speaking, cries and screams erupted from the scene.
"Waaah, I don't want to die! I haven't even gotten married yet."
"We didn't see anything today, please let us go, we have elderly parents and young children to support..."
"Waaah, someone please save us! I don't want to die..."
Looking at the trembling people, Qin Haifeng pointed to the side and whispered, "I'll go lure some of them away. You need to quickly untie those people. You know how to use this gun, right?"
"You take this thing, I'll just use stones and a crossbow."
Guns are good, but when they are used in large-scale operations, they make noise, making it easy for someone to pinpoint their location.
I still prefer using bows and crossbows and stones.
By the way, she got the crossbow from Zhang Bai Kui. It's perfect for ambushing people and developing your strength stealthily.
"Okay, be careful."
Qin Haifeng suddenly fired a shot at the leader, blowing his head off; half of his head was blown away by the impact.
Yang Sanlang and the others were terrified when they saw the person who died in front of them. They wished they could curl up into a ball.
Who is it?
They fired at the large rock, and Qin Haifeng immediately hid behind a big tree. He then fired another shot. It has to be said that this kid's marksmanship is excellent; not a single bullet was wasted.
Two died, leaving twelve.
Eight of them drew their guns and chased after Qin Haifeng. The remaining four glanced at the two corpses on the ground, cleaned their valuables and weapons, and then one of them took out a glass bottle from his pocket. The bottle contained a pale green liquid. When the stopper was opened, a pungent, fishy smell wafted out.
The man poured the liquid onto the two corpses. The instant the liquid touched the bodies, a series of white flashes accompanied by a hissing sound of corrosion occurred. In just a moment, the flesh and blood of the two corpses turned into blood, leaving only two skeletons.
