Chapter 426: Emerging

~7 min read 1,374 words

For one night, the person she had been guessing about did not come to find her.

And Yun Bi had already issued the order, "Follow me."

The person who had sought her out yesterday said proactively, "I'll watch her; it won't affect everyone's pace."

Yun Bi gave him a deep look and nodded.

The group did not say a word; this time their goal was clear, they just needed to march quickly.

It was getting dark, and they walked to the edge of a forest.

That person patted An Yinan, "Tonight, I will cover your escape."

An Yinan nodded silently, without responding.

In fact, she already knew that this person was not the mole.

His methods were simply too amateurish.

If he were the mole, Fang Yi and the others would truly need to be sent back for retraining.

Night descended silently, and someone's thigh was scratched by a tree branch.

An Yinan saw the injured person and was not surprised at all.

It was the person whose face had been disfigured while fighting the fire.

"How are you? Let me bandage it for you." Just as Qin Hao was about to go over, Yun Zhi also walked over.

The two of them looked at the wound, "This is a bit serious!"

"It is a bit serious, I'm afraid it won't be easy to march tomorrow." Qin Hao also nodded in agreement.

That person scratched the back of his head, looking honest and simple, "I'm fine, it won't delay everyone's march tomorrow."

Yun Bi and An Yinan exchanged a brief glance; they had already found him.

At this critical time, no one would get injured on purpose.

His position seemed casual, but Yun Bi was different from an ordinary soldier; he was a special operations soldier who had undergone special training.

As for An Yinan, it was purely because of her profession as a doctor; they had an innate sensitivity to the location of wounds.

If it were an external injury, there would be an instinctive bodily reaction to dodge; no matter how sharp a branch was, it could not possibly cause an injury to this extent.

Then it could only have been done intentionally.

"Everyone rest for a while, we will cross this forest tomorrow," Yun Bi said.

Whether it was that secret team or the four people with Yun Bi, everyone was actually very exhausted, and they would cherish any time they had to rest.

"You all rest, I'm in too much pain to sleep, I'll keep watch," that person said.

"Lao Zhao, will you be able to handle it tomorrow?" someone in the squad asked.

Lao Zhao laughed heartily, looking very easygoing, "It's fine, it hurts too much to sleep."

"If I'm tired tomorrow, you guys can help me along."

They had come on the mission together, were soldiers from the sheep farm, and knew each other, so they helped one another out.

Hearing this, several people agreed.

The night grew quiet, and Lao Zhao leaned against a large tree.

He held a dagger in his hand, playing with it casually.

On the tree, he carved one pattern after another.

In the middle of the night, Yun Zhi got up and took a look, "Still not sleeping?"

Lao Zhao nodded, "It hurts, I can't sleep."

Yun Zhi wanted to see what he was carving, but he had already turned to the side, blocking the tree trunk.

"Try to get some sleep, we still have to march tomorrow." Yun Zhi expressed his concern and then left.

After returning, he didn't speak, walked straight to where he was resting, and fell asleep immediately.

Anyway, Fifth Brother was there! (Their ranking was different from Nan Nan's, ranked according to Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua, Bi, Mo, Zhi, Yan.)

What did he have to panic about!

But not long after he fell asleep, someone else got up.

He nudged An Yinan; he didn't expect that in such a dangerous place, this person could actually sleep?

An Yinan raised her head, and as soon as she saw the person in front of her, she understood.

Was this person here to rescue her?

"Wait a moment!" An Yinan said.

Then she wanted to walk toward the crowd, but was stopped by this person.

"You cannot go any further. I can let you go, but you cannot harm them!" The person's eyes were firm, and his words were righteous.

An Yinan rubbed her brow; the feigned weakness was gone now.

She just wanted to get her bag, hey!!!

"I want my bag. I don't have water, I can't run very far, and I can't get back!" An Yinan explained to him in the Nan monkey language.

She was mainly afraid that Third Brother would chase after her to deliver things!

"I'll go get it, you are not allowed to move." The person thought about it, felt that what she said made sense, but was also afraid she would harm people, so he made An Yinan wait where she was.

An Yinan was very obedient; after all, as someone being rescued, how could she express her own opinions?

Yun Bi had heard it long ago, and the footsteps were different.

Nan Nan had also instructed him earlier not to interfere too much, and she would naturally follow along.

After An Yinan took the bag, she gave that person a deep look.

"For the sake of you saving me, I'll give you a piece of advice."

"Don't judge people by their appearance; the word 'villain' is not written on a villain's forehead."

After An Yinan finished speaking, she put on her backpack and left the team directly.

Inside the backpack were the things Third Brother had prepared.

Although she did not really need them, she could not exactly say she had no source for them, right?

An Yinan carried the backpack and left this place.

However, the direction she walked in was toward the mountain cave they had left.

With no one else around, her pace quickened significantly.

Furthermore, taking advantage of the lack of people, she took out a piping hot meat bun; she had heated these up in advance and put them inside back when she was in Beijing.

She also filled up all the water bottles and threw the backpack into her space to reduce the weight.

Every sign or trace she saw along the way, she cleared away.

Three days later, she caught up with the main force.

However, she trailed far behind.

"What's wrong? Are you injured again? I still have enough medicine!" Yun Zhi looked at the man who had slowed down.

The man looked behind him and resumed a smiling face, "No, I'm just a bit thirsty."

Yun Zhi smiled, "What a coincidence! I have water right here."

"Then..." The man's face was also stunned, "Thank you!"

Yun Zhi patted his shoulder cheekily, "No need to be polite, we are all here for Huaxia, we are all brothers!"

That man stiffened for a moment, as if there were hidden meanings in those words, but seeing Yun Zhi's expression, it didn't seem like he knew anything, did it?

The man took a sip of water, returned the water bottle to Yun Zhi, glanced behind him again, and could only continue walking forward.

The Military had not arrived yet, so he could not expose himself!

Walking along the front, An Yinan cleared away traces the entire way.

Not only did she have to clear the traces left by that man, she also needed to clear the traces left by the group of people.

This path was very hidden; if no one had walked it before, no one would have known about it.

"Once we cross that mountain peak, it will be the land of our Huaxia."

Yun Bi pointed to a mountain peak not too far away; they would step onto their own national soil today.

Every person in Team One revealed a smile; they had been rushing about too much during this period, especially toward the end, when they seemed to have played a game of cat and mouse with the South Monkey Army, though the pitiful part was that they were the mice.

In order to survive, they had been hiding here and there.
