407 Signal in the Cave (1/2)

Although Ye Shuang told Xiao San to leave the man where he was, Xiao San was not just blindly following her commands.

Though the mountain was huge, what if the man's partner happened to see him tied up? It would be a pain by then, and they could forget about baiting the big fish.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Moreover, it was a jungle after all. Even though there were fewer ferocious beasts in modern society, what if he encountered a big one? A stray dog might eat him alive if he was tied up while out of it.

Thus, Xiao San had gotten someone to move the man to a dense bush that was secluded and told the underling to watch him. Even if he really needed manpower at the mine, the twenty or so men over there should be enough.

He finally realized that Ye Shuang had only ever been responsible for killing, not burying the bodies.

As usual, the mine was quiet and empty. It looked like it had been years since someone had entered it. Indeed… nobody was there.

Especially at night, the cave was eerie, what with the whistling night wind while it was even darker than during the day. It was like something would jump out of the bottomless darkness out of nowhere.

Ye Shuang had no idea how those people usually took care of their trails. Theoretically, since there were more than twenty people living inside, there should have been footprints left behind no matter how little they walked. In reality, if she had not seen it with her own eyes the last time, it would have been hard for her to notice that anything was off even though her vision was much better than that of ordinary people.

There were experts among them.

They soon entered the mine. As they had informed the people in there beforehand, the person was quick to release the rope ladder. Xiao San and Ye Shuang were the only ones there. It did not take them too long to get in.

After getting to the stone room, it was the person from before who reported, ”Everyone is ready. We've packed the bags, so we can move anytime.”

”There's no rush.” Xiao San waved and took out his phone. He placed it on a box at the corner of the stone room and looked down at the two signal bars that had just popped up. He then turned his head to say, ”We didn't bring any tools or vehicles. There are people who are coming for the stuff. We will use theirs… Prepare to fight.”

Ye Shuang took out her phone. ”There's signal on your phone?”

Xiao San smiled and pointed at the corner that he had found. ”Only that corner has signal in this cave. In reality, this place has been pierced all over. There's a hole in the wall over there. You can't see it because of the angle.”

Ye Shuang quickly placed her phone there and explained, ”Brother Han might call.”

As expected, Han Chu's news came faster than Xiao San's underlings' report. It was good news.

”Master Eight has brought Sister Xiao Qi back,” Ye Shuang said to the rest while smiling after hanging up the phone.

The news alone loosened much of the tense atmosphere.

Very soon, everyone from the stone room had gotten out. Each of them had weapons with them—even the box of military arms was opened. A few guns that had been set up were placed aside. They even filled bullets in them.

All that they were waiting for was a call from the outside. They could only decide what to do after learning about the situation. It was impossible to plan an ambush ahead. Apart from the rock walls that had been pierced, there were no signals in the mine. As soon as they moved out, it would be too late for any news on the situation by then.

The process of not being able to ambush and merely waiting for news was nerve-wracking. The key to success depended on the five people out there.
