Chapter 616 (1/2)

Zhang Yitian didn't say a word, so he followed the people in front.

Ke Xinyi was right beside him. Zhang Yitian looked back at the others and found that the six or seven people in front of them were estimated to be the happiest. Although it was tiring to climb this stone step, they were too comfortable compared with the dozen people behind them.

Because there are more than a dozen people behind, everyone is carrying large and small packages, which should be all kinds of materials.

Just imagine, if you want to survive in this deserted place, it is estimated that there are at least 100 people in these areas, then only all kinds of rations and consumables every year may be in tons.

How do they survive? On this shoulder? That's really pissing!

However, it is estimated that these people have long been used to this exercise under extreme conditions. Even after walking half way, these people have not shown much kind. This is more than 200 meters, cow!

Zhang Yitian can't bear it. He's not tired, but he's not used to climbing mountains in this posture.

In order to counteract the sour and numb feeling brought by the waist, Zhang Yitian simply opened his mouth and asked Ke Xinyi.

”How did you think of settling in such a place?” he said. ”Don't tell me you all live here!”

Ke Xinyi looked at Zhang Yitian and replied, ”no, this is the secret base of Xuanmen and the headquarters. Only the core members of Xuanmen are here. Ordinary family members are scattered all over the country and even the world. They are either responsible for raising money for Xuanmen or collecting intelligence!”

”How do people live there?” Zhang Yitian asked again.

”After crossing the pass, there is a basin like terrain inside. There is enough space for farming. In most cases, the people here are self-sufficient.” Ke Xinyi explained, ”there are only some important things that need to be transported in from the outside! Such as those!”

Ke Xinyi pointed to a white metal box carried by a young man behind her. Looking at it, it is estimated that there are all kinds of instruments in it.

But it doesn't seem to explain why they hide themselves!

Indeed, Zhang Yitian feels that these people obviously want to hide themselves, otherwise even in a remote mountain village, the conditions are much better than here.

Ke Xinyi seems to see what Zhang Yitian thinks, which shows that the woman is still as smart as ever.

She then explained: ”this is the headquarters of Xuanmen, and the headquarters was not here at the beginning, and it has only been moved for a hundred years. As for why you chose here, it is precisely because it is hidden enough. You may be the only outsider outside the five families of Xuanmen. In fact, even the people of the five families don't know much about it!”

Zhang Yitian smiled and thought that he was lucky enough to climb the mountain here.

But he would rather give up the luck.

”That stone tablet, should be here?” Zhang Yitian returned to the subject, and his sharp remark broke his guess.

However, the effect of this sentence really caught him off guard. As soon as he opened his mouth, Ke Xinyi immediately stopped and stared at him with a wary face.

To Zhang Yitian's consternation, more than 20 people who were crawling slowly stopped and turned their eyes to Zhang Yitian.

I guessed right... But Zhang Yitian didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he was stared at darkly.

This state lasted about ten seconds. Zhang Yitian seemed very embarrassed. He just said his guess.

”Keep moving!” at this time, xuanzi in front of him suddenly shouted.

This cry obviously relieved Zhang Yitian, the atmosphere eased, and everyone continued to climb up again.

Zhang Yitian twitched at the corners of his mouth for a moment and followed him on the road.

He's not the kind of person with a cheap mouth, but this time he's taught him a lesson.

He was not afraid, but really afraid. The eyes of those more than 20 people were really scary. It was like seeing an enemy. Zhang Yitian even felt that he would be killed by these people every minute and dumped his body in the wilderness!

After walking for a while, Ke Xinyi pretended not to step firmly and slipped downward. Zhang Yitian subconsciously went to help her. At that moment, Ke Xinyi quickly whispered, ”take care of your mouth!”

This is a warning, but Zhang Yitian is a little warm in his heart. Although Ke Xinyi is a man of Xuanmen, he has worked under his own hands for so long, and he is still facing himself.

Zhang Yitian smiled and said, ”well, the mountain road is slippery. Be careful!”

This section of more than 200 meters of mountain road, a group of people only walked for half an hour and reached the pass at the top.

Zhang Yitian looked back at the bottom. I don't know when the team at the bottom has disappeared, only the lush mountains on both sides of the valley.

This is indeed a good place. If you don't look carefully, it must be difficult to find such a place.

Before long, Ke Xinyi gently pushed Zhang Yitian and motioned him to keep up with the team.

The temperature at the top of the mountain is much lower than that below. Although this is not the top of the mountain in an absolute sense, it is just a pass, but the wind is still not small.
