irit in him. He's joining me on this mission this time."Ripple touched Cyclone's fluffy head and said,Now the whirlwind has grown larger again, because of the rising temperatures, this guy is shedding...The car kept moving on the road, barely stopping. The doors would occasionally open to spray water inside and toss in a few steamed buns; whether or not you could grab them depended entirely on your luck.

Lián Yī pretended to be weak and helpless, not daring to compete with those strong men. She just hid in the corner to lower her presence. In fact, she was secretly stuffing high-energy bars into her mouth, slowly softening them with saliva before swallowing. She wouldn't starve herself; it was safer to eat these than those buns filled with unknown ingredients.

But to replenish her fluids, she would catch water with her hand and drink it. The rest of the time, she remained silent and kept to herself, avoiding any interaction with others. After all, these few people were transferred from other trucks, and everyone on this truck knew about their dead passenger. They viewed them as a virus and kept a safe distance.

Before, there were still people grabbing steamed buns and got beaten up by the people in this carriage, so they didn't dare to show their faces anymore. Like Lian Ri who knew how to time things right, she didn't suffer any harm. Some people even saw Lian Ri looking wilted and weak, fearing that she had been infected, so they kept a distance from her. Lian Ri was happy to have some peace and quiet.

The car moved in starts and stops, and these people all transferred from the big bus to a smaller car. Ripple always consciously or unconsciously moved her little right toe, anyway no one would notice since she was wearing shoes.

Two days later, they finally arrived at their destination when someone fell ill: a water village surrounded by mountains on all sides.

After getting off the boat, Lian Yi timidly looked around. She found that the Water Village was heavily guarded, and the sounds of commotion were mixed with m language. It was obvious that they had entered m territory.

They were then separated by gender and confined to different water prisons.

On the other side, tracking the signal emitted by the ripples, members of a special operations team trailing behind the convoy were gathered in a meeting.

"The signal disappeared in this vicinity."

"Could it be that Qian Mian is in danger"

Jinyuan frowned and said.

"It shouldn't be, the signal is gradually getting blurry as it moves. Even if Qian Mian really had an accident, as long as the signal tracker wasn't destroyed, it would continue to emit a signal. I think it's probably that the place where Qian Mian entered has signal jamming."

The communications officer designated "Tianyan" immediately spoke.

"Since there's signal jamming, it proves 'Qian Mian' has entered the enemy's lair. That's good news, but now we need to determine the exact location."

Zheng Ran pointed to the spot on the map where the ripples had disappeared and said.

"Currently, we don't have concrete information about the opponent's exact location, number of personnel, defenses, or weaponry. This lack of knowledge puts us at a disadvantage. Alerting the US police prematurely could easily alert them, so we need to be cautious. I suspect there are corrupt elements within their ranks, otherwise this line of communication wouldn't have been so smooth."

Jinyuan Qing said solemnly.

"I agree with Jin's guess, now we can only rely on ourselves. It's best to sneak in quietly and not alarm anyone."

Zheng Ran decided.

"We better hurry, or 'Qianmian' will be in danger."

Even Heavenly Eye agreed.

The ripple was closed for a day and a night. During that time, there was no food or water. Everyone sat listlessly in the water with blank expressions.

Ripple finished the last energy bar on her person, feeling that her physical condition was pretty good. She started to observe her surroundings secretly. She wasn't sure when Smiling Buddha and his men would arrive, and she wouldn't just sit there waiting for them. She was preparing to make a breakout.

That night, some drunken guards came to the cages and pointed and gestured at the women, just like they were picking out cabbages, dragging several of them away. One of those women was Lianyi.

Several girls started crying and shouting, Lianyi also pretended to be frightened and screamed for help, but it only brought more unrestrained laughter, as well as jeers in various languages.

The ripples were dragged into a waterside wooden hut, where three guards with menacing faces slowly surrounded the ripples. Ripples shouted at them to stay away and threw everything she could grab at them.

These seemingly harmless things ended up hurting three people. The three immediately shouted in pain and then, from outside the door, there were a woman's shrill screams and a man's laughter. The latter sounds gradually faded until only whimpers remained.

"Easy there, these people are countable, we can't be short!"

"Alright, big brother, why don't you try some too..."

The guard who had come to knock on the door was also up to no good. Hearing this, he pushed open the door without hesitation. The moment the door was closed, his neck was twisted.

Ripples spun her wrist, still yelling "No! Help!" and the like, then stripped the last person bare. She was originally going to just leave, but since the one who knocked was short, about her height, she changed her mind. She didn't want to alert anyone here too early, so she changed her face again.

The man had camouflage paint on his face, and it was nighttime anyway, so she didn't need to put on any makeup. There wasn't even a way to. She put on the other soldier's army green uniform and pulled her own clothes over his. They didn't wear anything on their lower halves. Then, she stripped the other three people naked and posed them in a tableau. After looting all of their weapons, they jumped out the window on the other side.

Ripples held his gun, trying to stay in the shadows. He kept his eyes scanning everything around him and his ears open for any sounds. He counted the guards in his mind while he could hear the sound of drunken brawls and fists clashing.

The ripples discovered a house surrounded by heavy guards. Even the guards entering had to have their identities checked, and those coming in and out were well-dressed, carrying suitcases, clearly wealthy people.

The ripples hadn't even gotten close before being called out:

"Lao Dan, what are you doing"

Ripple lowered her voice and said:

"Let's join in the fun!"

"Do you have any money You're still joining in the fun, there's a table inside that starts at over ten thousand. Your little bit of money isn't even enough for someone's tip."

"Bah! Money is everything, I'll be rich one day!"

Liàn Yī learned from some people and rudely spat.

"Alright! Don't daydream, there are plenty who have lost everything inside..."

No sooner had the other party finished speaking than the two of them heard a pig-like squealing.

"Let go! Let me go! I have money, I'll have my family send money!"

Then they saw two guards pushing out a fat man in a floral shirt.

"See, that's what happens when you lose money."

He has money at home.

The ripples continued to lower their voices, mimicking the man's previous speech.

"A satellite phone call costs ten thousand yuan once, let's see if he's willing to pay for it."

Whispers of schadenfreude reached my ears.

"Satellite phones are great!"

Ripple muttered to herself.

She was now certain that this place had a signal jammer. Smiling, she thought they would take some time to find them. In an instant, two plans flashed through her mind.

One was a signal jammer, the other was to steal the satellite phone and contact her team, but she didn't know which was more feasible. Next thing she knew, opportunity presented itself.

Only to see the white, fat man being dragged out holding a satellite phone like a brick, begging for help back home. It's unclear what was said on the other end, but suddenly the white, fat man started yelling into the phone and finally threw it into the water.e, allowing him to advance to the late stage of foundation building, and even enabling his younger brother to challenge the golden elixir realm.As long as the younger brother advanced to the Golden Co...
