Chapter 36: Yun Shen is Kidnapped

An Yinan walked fifty meters to the left, her eyes sparkling when she saw the wild rabbits gathered together.

A series of sounds from pebbles rang out; this time she did not observe much, relying on muscle memory to quickly throw the pebbles in her hand. The wild rabbits scattered in all directions due to the commotion, but An Yinan no longer hid, and the pebbles in her hand flew out rapidly. She had just picked up over thirty pebbles, and in less than ten seconds, she had already thrown them all.

As for the wild rabbits left on the ground, this time they were not all headshots; some had their spines broken, others had their necks snapped. The ways they died were strange and varied, but the number left behind was very gratifying—this time there were a full thirteen wild rabbits.

"I'll make some dried rabbit meat to send to my godmother and two brothers." An Yinan blinked. She still hadn't replied to their letters yet; the main thing was that they had sent gifts, and if she just sent a dry, empty letter back, it wouldn't be very nice.

Human interaction relies on reciprocity; when one person takes all the advantages, the relationship becomes unbalanced, and drawbacks emerge.

She knew her godmother wanted to provide for her and her brother, but she knew even better that she had the ability to live well and the ability to bear her godmother's affection.

An Yinan, who had intended to go down the mountain, suddenly heard voices: "This kid is too big; I really don't know why we're kidnapping him."

How could there be people in these deep mountains?

No one from the village had set foot here for decades; it was only because they were young and fearless that they repeatedly came to the outskirts of the Back Mountain, and this was their first time entering the middle.

These people kidnapped someone—who did they kidnap?

Are the newcomers good or bad? Are they people from Quanshui Village?

An Yinan did not ponder the answer. While lightening her footsteps, she quickly picked up pebbles. In her hands, pebbles were her only weapon; she felt more secure with a pile of them.

"The boss named him specifically. That woman surnamed Peng has a secret formula for a biological virus in her hands. If we kidnap her son, are we afraid she won't hand it over honestly?" The person who answered spoke in fluent R-language.

People from the Little Days?

An Yinan furrowed her brows tightly. How could their target be in this remote Quanshui Village? Ms. Peng and a biological virus secret formula—this matter was something she could not ignore.

A massive sense of patriotism made it impossible for her to turn a blind eye.

An Yinan's footsteps became lighter and faster. She pushed aside some yellowing grass and saw the person being carried: Mo Yunshen!

That cute, shy child from last night now had pale lips and was being carried on a shoulder, lifeless.

Beibei went to look for Yun Shen, and now Yun Shen has met with trouble—what about Beibei?

An Yinan felt even more anxious inside, her eyes turning slightly red. She quickly followed behind the two men; there was no other way now. She needed to know where the two were going, where their base camp was, and how many people they had. These situations had to be investigated clearly.

Moreover, the conversation between the two just now indicated that Yun Shen would be fine for the near future; they were still counting on him to trade for the biological virus secret formula.

The two walked toward the depths of the mountain for two kilometers before they saw a cliff. Two ropes were tied to the top of the cliff. One of the men picked up a rope and quickly climbed down; his movements were skilled and fluid without a hint of hesitation, clearly showing that the two did this often.

An Yinan wanted to strike, but after thinking about it, she waited; she could not alert the enemy.

The person carrying Mo Yunshen tied him to the rope and then lowered the rope. The person below blew a whistle. The man looked left and right, then turned and left.

This person... she had seen him before. He was the village doctor of Quanshui Village. What exactly was the background of Quanshui Village? How could it allow people from the Little Days to infiltrate it to this extent?

Just as An Yinan was about to get up and grab the rope to go down the cliff, movement occurred at the bottom of the cliff. The person who had just gone down climbed back up, looked around, and then strode away.

"The village doctor, the Japanese—what is the relationship between the two? What did they go do?" An Yinan thought to herself, having no clue.

She waited for ten minutes before crawling out of the grass, then grabbed the rope and quickly climbed down the cliff.

Twenty meters below the cliff, there was a large round stone platform, and near the cliff wall, there were two caves.

An Yinan first climbed into one cave. Besides boxes of items, there was a simple bed covered with animal furs, and Mo Yunshen had been thrown into a corner.

An Yinan was afraid the two men would return at any moment. She quickly collected all the boxes into her space, then went to the other cave. Inside, besides large barrels, there was actually an experimental area; it was likely related to the biological virus they had just mentioned.

An Yinan did not hesitate to go all the way, collecting everything into her space without leaving even a hair behind.

She returned to the first cave, tied Mo Yunshen to her back, and then grabbed the rope to climb up.

Just as she jumped onto the cliff, she came face-to-face with someone.

It was exactly the person who spoke R-language.

"Bastard, who are you?" The man said in broken Huaxia language, then swung his arm to attack.

An Yinan quickly changed direction; she had to remember that behind her was a cliff, and no matter what, it would be fatal.

"Your grandmother." An Yinan quickly spat out the three words, blocking the man's fist with her arm. A wave of intense pain made her arm go somewhat numb.

An Yinan pulled back to create distance, but the man pursued relentlessly!

She gripped a pebble in her hand and threw it quickly, aiming for the man's eyes!

The man had undergone special training and immediately sensed the danger, instinctively dodging.

Although he dodged the incoming pebble, it allowed An Yinan to create some distance.

"Effective." An Yinan threw pebbles one after another. This time she held nothing back with her strength, forcing the person behind her to stop and deal with the trajectory of the pebbles.

"Bastard, then go to hell." The man from the Little Days pulled a handgun from his chest and immediately cocked it.

An Yinan instinctively felt a jolt in her heart. She turned back and saw the cocking motion, feeling a sense of dread. Throwing pebbles was fast, but not faster than a bullet.

Her strength was great, but she had no method for using it; it was just brute force.

Moreover, An Yinan was carrying Mo Yunshen on her back.

The ten-year-old child, though very thin, still weighed forty jin. She was usually fine carrying him, but after the chase just now, she felt a bit overwhelmed, and her movements were naturally somewhat sluggish.

"Bang." The man from the Little Days seemed to be playing with An Yinan, giving her space and time to dodge.

The man moved forward step by step, and the gun in his hand fired continuously. An Yinan was exhausted from dodging and had no time to observe positions to throw pebbles.

"Baka! Die." The man smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. He had played enough of this cat-and-mouse game.

There was only one bullet left in the handgun. He aimed the gun and fired with a "bang."
