Simple wasn't interested in him, but after watching for a while, the things they brought out caught her attention. Two boxes were filled with weapons that looked similar to the guns that Big Wolf had brought over. She picked one up and took it apart to test it. The parts were smooth, the buckles fit perfectly, and the workmanship was exquisite. In terms of both design and performance, it had a clear advantage over the sidearms of the troops here.
Even though the border military region is not in a good position and may not be issued the latest batch of equipment, the military is a place with strict rules and cannot allow such a huge difference in the military. Therefore, the only possibility is that this is not a domestic military weapon, which means that it is indeed a foreign product.
Based on her limited historical knowledge, this seems more like a product of the M country at this stage. However, although diplomatic relations between the country and other countries are currently warming up, such sensitive items are not something that can be discussed diplomatically, and should not and could not appear in the mountains within the jurisdiction of the border military region.
How were they brought in? Through whom? What is their purpose?
Looking at the boxes that were brought out, although the number wasn't large, it was still a hidden danger, a malignant tumor, lurking in the back. Once it started, it would be really hard to guard against.
One man, a room full of experimental equipment. There weren't many poison gas bombs they found last time, but when the soldiers came out, their eyes were all red. Cheng Chao came out cursing and swearing. After asking around, they found out that he was the only one left. Instead of being careful and hiding himself properly, he acted like a bandit, snatching several women from somewhere. He was quite capable. Down there, there was also a lot of wine and meat. He was really living a life of debauchery.
At this moment, all those carried out were corpses, bodies covered in signs of torture.
No wonder Cheng Chao was so angry; anyone who saw him would have cursed him as a beast.
They pulled out quite a few things from the cave. Besides the weapons that were clearly visible, there were other things that were never exposed to the light. Jian Dan wasn't curious about them; he guessed they were things that Cheng Chao was handling with caution.
Looking around, everyone was busy, and Jian Dan couldn't quite figure out why she was being asked to come along, so she simply wandered around. Once she got busy, no one paid any special attention to her, and Qin Qinghuai also got busy, and before she knew it, she had walked quite far.
When she realized what was happening and tried to turn back, she unexpectedly heard voices.
To be honest, she was also startled. This place was quite a distance from where they were going to operate today. It wouldn't be surprising if there were people in the mountains. She never thought that no one else had the ability to go deep into the mountains except herself. But as she listened, her expression became a little strange.
"Dad, can we go home now?"
"Don't panic, have you collected the herbs I asked you to?"
"I've collected them all. Can you check if this is the right one? Is this it?"
"How can we give it to them? They're very strict; they make sure you eat everything that goes into your mouth first. We don't even have a chance!"
"If there's no opportunity, we'll find one. A living person can't let themselves die from holding in their pee, can they?"
"Father, I'm not afraid of death. I've already lived several years longer because you saved me, that's enough."
But they can't torture you like this! You're so old, look at your legs, they've beaten them like this, and you still have to come out to gather herbs. Dad, listen to me, check your legs first. If you delay any longer, even if you can get home, it's such a long way down the mountain, your legs will be ruined!"
"Alright, stop dawdling and hurry up. Let's finish this quickly so we can find a chance to escape. It's not worth it to let them find another reason to beat us up."
Being able to bend and stretch is not shameful.
"Save your life first; everything else can wait until you're alive."
Not far away, two figures were supporting each other as they walked, carefully searching through the woods. When they found any usable medicinal herbs, they picked them and put them into their baskets.
What made Jian Dan stop was not anything else, but curiosity about the "them" they were talking about. Who were these people who could force two disabled people to go deep into the mountains to collect herbs? Judging from their words, it seemed that they had been injured by them.
Judging from this, it seems that the group of people is not far away.
This simple thing piqued my interest.
There are people in the mountains, so there's no fear. It's not like no one has ever lived their whole life hidden in the mountains. She's not a saint; she respects other people's fates and doesn't want to meddle. But if someone is restless, that's a different story.
She's free now, so it's a good opportunity to meet her.
The two figures slowly walked away, with Jian Dan quietly following behind. It took them about half an hour to slowly reach their destination and enter a cave.
She didn't dare to be careless. She had already sensed more than a dozen breaths. The breathing was steady and shallower than that of ordinary people. There was a high chance that they were trained practitioners. She held her breath and slowly approached. She heard noisy curses coming from inside.
"You old codger, why are you only just getting back? Were you trying to run away again?"
"Haha! Run, run as fast as you can, let's see if you can escape our big brother's grasp! Haha!"
"That's right, with your legs like this, why are you still thinking about all this? Hurry up and get our brother treated. If he gets better, he'll be in a better mood, and you can have a few more good days, do you hear me?"
Then came the muffled groans of the two herb gatherers; they must have really been beaten up.
After a moment of silence, a distinct medicinal smell wafted through the air, suggesting that medicine was being brewed or applied. Then came an impatient conversation.
"Brother, are we just going to wait like this? When will this end?"
