Chapter 174 The Search Begins



Ye Beichen awakened three types of superpowers: spatial power, thunder power, and healing power.

In addition to possessing these superpowers, his body has also been greatly enhanced due to the awakening of his superpowers.

Although his superpowers came with him, because he had not been here for long, the level of his superpowers was still very low.

When he first came through, he was so seriously injured that he could hardly use his supernatural powers.

He was able to catch his breath by relying on his mental strength to avoid the enemy's pursuit.

His physical strength was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary soldier, and he was not as powerful as he was in his previous life.

The main reason for participating in the search for the Japanese this time is that we are worried about the original owner's family.

Because the Japanese were initially discovered to be in Gaojia Commune, but later on during the pursuit they escaped to Qishan.

Both Gaojia Commune and Qishan are too close to the original owner's home.

When Ye Beichen first heard that Japanese appeared in Gaojia Commune, he was still very worried.

So I simply applied to participate in the mission of searching for Japanese.

Anyway, he has already applied for home leave, so once the task is completed, he can go home directly for vacation.

Moreover, the mental power brought by his special ability can detect everything within a few dozen meters around him, which is very suitable for search missions.

In his previous life, he relied on his mental power to avoid many attacks by high-level zombies, thus saving his own life and the lives of his teammates.

Although the range of his mental power is only a few dozen meters now, which is much less than the hundreds of meters that could be covered in his previous life, it is still very convenient to search slowly along the mountains.

When we arrived near Qishan, we found that the foot of the mountain had been cordoned off.

The nearby villagers were not allowed to go up the mountain, and the Japanese were prevented from sneaking down.

However, it would be fine if the villagers didn't go up the mountain for one or two days, but if they stayed there for too long, people in nearby villages would complain.

Live by the mountain and eat by the water. Villagers go up the mountain not only to collect firewood, but also to cut grass for pigs and feed livestock.

There are also families who are not well-off and often go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

However, after surrounding the mountain for many days, the villagers were already dissatisfied.

When Ye Beichen and his companions arrived at the foot of Qishan Mountain, they encountered several villagers arguing with the militia guarding the mountain.

"You've been surrounding us for days now, not letting us go up the mountain. Do you want us to live like this?"

"That's right! You have to be honest! How many days are we going to keep the siege going? We can't just keep doing this forever!"

"That's right, if you say to surround us, then what should we do?"

"Yes, Erwazi! We are from the same village. Here are the elders of the village. They have watched you grow up. Why don't you think about your fellow villagers?"

Upon hearing this, the face of one of the militiamen who was trying to stop them turned red.

But he did not give in and continued to stick to his post, preventing the villagers from going up the mountain.

He could only helplessly persuade him, "Uncle! There are Japanese on the mountain. We don't let you go up the mountain because we're afraid you'll get into danger! This is for your own good!"

"It's not for our own good! Those Japanese are so powerful! There are so many of us, we can take on every Japanese that comes our way! You've been hiding at the foot of the mountain, not daring to go up. If you let us go, I'll go and take on the Japanese alone! Humph!"

When the other villagers heard Erwazi say that there were Japanese on the mountain, they were a little hesitant.

Then I heard this guy brazenly say he wanted to kill the Japanese.

Others: ...

No, what are you bragging about here? Just because you are an old man, do you think you can defeat the Japanese?

They don't even know how many Japanese there are.

What if the other party has a lot of people?

What if the Japanese have guns?

What are you going to fight with?

Just with the worn-out sickles in their hands?

It seems impossible just thinking about it.

They just wanted to go up the mountain to pick some firewood and some wild vegetables, and they didn't want to lose their lives!

After hesitating for a moment, the others turned back.

The old man boasted that he wanted to fight the Japanese, thinking that others would follow him.

Thinking that this way, wouldn't they be able to go up the mountain with a clear conscience?

As a result, when the others heard what he said, they immediately left here in tacit understanding.

The old man was dumbfounded for a moment, wondering why they didn't agree with him but went back instead?

Seeing that everyone had left, the old man had to leave in disappointment.

Erwazi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the villagers had left, and continued to stand guard at his post.

Xie Wentian also felt helpless when he saw the situation over there.

Most of these militiamen were recruited from nearby villages.

If you encounter an elder from the same village who takes advantage of his seniority, it is very easy for him to take advantage of you with his words.

The Japanese on the mountain have not been caught yet, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain still come to make trouble from time to time, and the higher-ups are constantly putting pressure on them to complete the task as soon as possible.

Xie Wentian has been very busy recently.

Fortunately, reinforcements came from above, and it was Ye Beichen, whom he knew.

I heard that he recently completed a difficult mission on the border and was seriously injured.

I didn't expect to recover so quickly. I immediately accepted the new task and came here.

Along the way, they told each other about the general situation of their recent search.

"We've already searched the front. The deep mountains and old forests behind us haven't been there for years, so our progress is very slow. Once you get up the mountain, just follow the instructions of the person in charge."

Xie Wentian took Ye Beichen and his team, handed over the work to the person in charge here, and then left.

He was responsible for receiving reinforcements and leading the way, and did not need to follow them into the mountains to search.

After dealing with Ye Beichen's team, he had to go back to continue receiving other new reinforcements.

Ye Beichen and his team were assigned by the leader to search the north side of the mountain.

After receiving the order, Ye Beichen took the team members with supplies and equipment and went up the mountain.

The mountain road ahead was smooth for the villagers to walk on because they had been going up the mountain all year round.

An hour and a half later, they arrived at the deep mountains and forests where few people had ever been.

The trees here are very tall, and the dense canopy blocks the sunlight, making it dark and quiet under the shade.

The singing of birds and the buzzing of insects rang in my ears from time to time.

Ye Beichen walked at the front of the team, using his mental power to cover the area around him, carefully observing every detail and remembering them all firmly in his mind to prevent himself from getting lost.

In this old forest where there are few people and no special signs around, it is easy to get lost.

Even if they have a compass, they still have to take precautions.

After walking in the woods for a long time, they actually found a spring not far away.

The clear spring water flows out from the mountain stream, making a gurgling sound.

The surrounding trees are flourishing under the nourishment of the spring water, emitting a green glow.

Ye Beichen used his mental power to survey the surroundings and confirmed that there was no danger before leading the team up to drink water.

While drinking water, a trace beside the spring caught his attention.
