The remaining time for the petrification talent is less than one hour. No matter what, we must seize the time and get close to the center of the incident to find out what happened.
"Go over and take a look." Zhang Yao said.
"Just walk over like this?"
"There are no black-clad team members guarding the entrance to the village, and we haven't seen any villagers walking around. There should be no problem for the three of us walking into the village," Zhang Yao said.
"What should I do if I encounter villagers after entering the village?"
Zhang Yao frowned, anything could happen after entering the village, so it was necessary to prepare in advance.
"Today is Saturday, the three of us look like high school students. If we really want to meet the villagers, just say that we are senior art students from Longhu No. 1 Middle School. We are here to visit Qingzhu Village today."
Zhang Yao was intercepted by Sun Yan at the gate of No. 1 Middle School. He was still wearing the senior uniform of Longhu No. 1 Middle School. Although Li Nanjia and Sun Yan were not wearing school uniforms, they were about the same age as Zhang Yao and their faces were more immature than Zhang Yao.
When the three of them walk together, even if they don't take the initiative to reveal their identity as students, others will think that the three of them are students.
It's good to be young.
Zhang Yao sighed in his heart, if it were him ten years later, if he said that he was still a student, how could others believe him?
"This is a good reason." Li Nanjia agreed.
"We are all seniors in high school. Why do you lie all the time? You have deceived many girls." Sun Yan's eyes were suspicious.
"Am I lying? This is called adapting to circumstances."
Zhang Yao glared at Sun Yan, this crazy girl, her brain circuit is different from others, she still cares about these small details at this time.
"Don't talk nonsense after entering the village." Zhang Yao warned Sun Yan.
There were no black-clad team members guarding the entrance to the village, so Zhang Yao and the other three entered Qingzhu Village smoothly.
"No one is here."
"There's no one here either."
"Listen, it's so quiet. The whole village seems empty."
"Would you like to continue watching?"
"No need to look any further, Qingzhu Village is indeed empty." Zhang Yao's face was solemn.
The last time a gangster broke into Longhu Community, it was as quiet as now, without even a sound of insects.
But at that time, the people in Longhu Community were evacuated by members of the black team.
Where have all the people in Qingzhu Village gone?
Zhang Yao and the three men arrived at Qingzhu Village at the same time as the men in black, but Zhang Yao did not see the men in black evacuating the residents of Qingzhu Village.
Were the residents of Qingzhu Village evacuated in advance, or were they all held hostage by gangsters?
Assuming that Zhang Yao was a gangster, would he hold all the villagers hostage?
The answer, no.
First, the more hostages, the better. The more people there are, the easier it is for something to happen.
Second, the old, weak, women and children are more suitable to be hostages, but there must be young and strong people in Qingzhu Village. Young and strong people are not suitable to be hostages. The gangsters will naturally not take them with them, but they will not let them go casually, but in Qingzhu Village
But there were no bloodstains, signs of fighting or casualties.
As a result, the residents of Qingzhu Village were most likely evacuated in advance.
The entire Qingzhu Village was empty, and the reason Zhang Yao and the others had previously assumed that they had met the villagers was no longer useful.
Although there were no residents in Qingzhu Village, the black-clad team members had already entered the village. After Zhang Yao and the others checked at the entrance of the village for a while, they stopped taking the main road and walked behind the residential building instead. This would more or less reduce the chance of the three of them being exposed.
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhang Yao and the others crossed Qingzhu Village from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.
Arriving at the end of the village, Zhang Yao saw the men in black again, only two men in black with live ammunition guarding the road into the mountain at the end of the village.
On the mountainside in the distance, you can vaguely see Sun's father leading some members of the team in black into the forest.
Zhang Yao and the others were hiding behind a residential building, far away from the two black-clad team members. The two black-clad team members did not notice Zhang Yao and the others.
"Where's my dad?" Sun Yan pointed to a place on the mountainside.
"It seems that the gangsters have entered the mountain, and Uncle Sun and the others are going to arrest the gangsters."
"There is only one access to the mountain, and it is guarded by people from my dad's work unit. How can we get there?"
"Sun Yan, go and lure the people away, while Li Nanjia and I take the opportunity to enter the mountain." Zhang Yao said.
"Why should I lead people away?" Sun Yan said dissatisfied.
"You are familiar with them." Zhang Yao smiled.
"If you don't want to do it, you can go. I won't go, I want to go into the mountain." Sun Yan said. She was responsible for leading people away, and she would definitely not have the chance to go into the mountain later.
"I'll be responsible for leading people away," Li Nanjia said.
Zhang Yao shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't take it seriously, Sun Yan and I were joking. One person is responsible for leading people away, and the other two people take the opportunity to sneak into the mountain. This method sounds good, but in fact it is probably not feasible.
"
"There are two of them. If the situation changes, one of them will most likely stay to guard the road into the mountain. They look well-trained at first glance, and they must have corresponding measures when encountering a situation where both of them must leave.
Countermeasures: Maybe contact the teammates who have already entered the mountain, and wait until one or two of the teammates who have entered the mountain return to guard the road into the mountain, and then they can deal with the temporary situation."
Li Nanjia and Sun Yan looked at each other and nodded seriously, with a hint of admiration in their eyes. Zhang Yao thought much more than they thought.
Compared with Zhang Yao, the two of them are really noobs.
Li Nanjia and Sun Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Yao's performance. After all, the last gangster incident occurred in Longhu Community, where Zhang Yao's family is located.
Zhang Yao has personally experienced gangster incidents, and naturally has had contact with members of the black team. This is the difference between experienced and inexperienced.
"No kidding, to be honest, when we get here, there is no need for you two to follow me and take risks." Zhang Yao has already thought of a way to enter the mountain, but he does not intend to take Li Nanjia and Sun Yan in with him.
Zhang Yao followed the members of the black team and revealed the secret. It was actually an excuse. The real purpose was to find out the source of the spiritual value.
After entering the mountain, the danger was uncertain. It was the first time for both Li Nanjia and Sun Yan to experience this kind of thing. Perhaps it was more out of curiosity.
But this is not Zhang Yao's first experience and he knows the dangers involved. Li Nanjia and Sun Yan are ignorant, and Zhang Yao cannot follow them.
"You guys have actually figured out how to get into the mountains. Don't even think about leaving us. Come on, tell me how to get into the mountains." Sun Yan said with excitement.
"Now that I'm here, I want to go into the mountain and have a look." Li Nanjia said, very assertive. Even if Zhang Yao disagreed, she would go into the mountain.
Besides, Zhang Yao is not her and Sun Yan's guardian, so why should he not let her and Sun Yan enter the mountain with just one word?
"After entering the mountains, there may be serious dangers, which may endanger life." Zhang Yao shook his head and insisted on not taking Li Nanjia and Sun Yan with him.
"You're not afraid, so what are we afraid of? Otherwise, you just look down on us girls." Sun Yan said.
"Nan Jia, Sun Yan, after all, I brought up the matter this time, and you two have helped a lot. I can just do the risky things now. You two go into the mountains with me, just in case
If something happens, how can I explain it to your parents?" Zhang Yao said.
"After all, you just want to leave us. Okay, you don't take us in. When you go in later, Jiajia and I will be your cheerleaders here." Sun Yan looked at Zhang Yao threateningly,
If you don't take this girl with you, don't you think of entering the mountain even if you have a way to do so?
Next to her, Li Nanjia looked very supportive of Sun Yan.
Zhang Yao was tired. After trying to persuade him for a long time, Li Nanjia and Sun Yan refused to change their minds. Now, Sun Yan and Li Nanjia threatened Zhang Yao.
He tried to persuade and stop them, but Li Nanjia and Sun Yan were determined to enter the mountain. What else could Zhang Yao do?
"You can follow me into the mountain. After entering the mountain, all actions will be subject to my arrangements. No nonsense is allowed." Zhang Yao looked serious.
"OK."
"no problem."
"How to enter the mountain?" Sun Yan's eyes showed a hint of excitement.
"Take the river path."
Qingzhu Village is located among the peaks. A small river rushing out of the peaks almost divides Qingzhu Village into two halves.
There is only one road into the mountain, which is actually the right bank of the small river.
Two members of the black team were stationed on the right bank of the river.
This small river has been flowing for an unknown number of years. The river water washes the surface all year round. The distance between the river bed and the river bank is more than two people's height. The stone walls of the river channel are almost vertical, and there are railings along the river bank.
If someone quietly walks along the stone wall of the river, it will be difficult for people standing on the river bank to notice that there is anyone in the river.
Moreover, it was already early March, and the snow in the mountains had already melted.
In the past week, it has not rained anywhere in Longhu City. The river bed of this creek has been exposed. Even if Zhang Yao and others jumped into the creek, there might not be a drop of water on the soles of their shoes.
As soon as Zhang Yao mentioned the river path, Li Nanjia and Sun Yan understood.
Zhang Yao's method is indeed feasible, but the three of them must be careful when walking along the stone wall of the river, especially when passing through the two black-clad team members above their heads. The entire Qingzhu Village is extremely quiet now, even if they make trouble
The slightest sound may arouse the vigilance of the team members in black.
"You two, wait here for a while." Zhang Yao ducked and left.
"Jiajia, why is he going? Doesn't he want to leave us?" Sun Yan said.
Li Nanjia shook his head, it was already here, Zhang Yao probably wouldn't leave the two of them and go into the mountain alone.
Soon, Zhang Yao came back with a little tabby cat in his arms.
"What?" Sun Yan asked.
"The river is not short, so take it with you just in case." Zhang Yao said.
The three men and one cat retreated a bit and stepped into the river farther away from the men in black.
Within the river.
Zhang Yao and the others walked up with their backs against the stone wall of the river. They walked very slowly. Their footsteps fell gently without making any sound. The three of them even breathed much slower.
"So nervous, so exciting, I feel like the secret agent girl in the movie." Sun Yan blinked her eyes and her face turned red.
"Be careful, don't expose yourself." Zhang Yao and Li Nanjia looked at Sun Yan at the same time, which was an obvious reminder.
The three of them made eye contact for a while, and then reached the feet of the black-clad team members.
Click!
Worrying about what was going on, a small stone slipped under Sun Yan's step and made a slight sound.
There was the sound of footsteps overhead.
The hearts of Zhang Yao and the others stopped for a beat at this moment.
Sun Yan looked at Li Nanjia and Zhang Yao with an innocent look.
Zhang Yao glanced at them, and Li Nanjia and Sun Yan immediately pressed their backs against the stone wall of the river, motionless.
Zhang Yao did not hesitate, and gently put down the little cat in his arms, then kicked it, and then pressed his back against the stone wall of the river.
You must fool around!
Sun Yan prayed in her heart.
The little cat jumped out and gradually ran away.
Zhang Yao heard the footsteps above his head and returned to his original position.
No danger.
"Be careful, there won't be any kittens next." Zhang Yao signaled Sun Yan with his eyes.
Sun Yan nodded silently, but she was wondering in her heart why she was the one who stepped on the pebbles and whether it was time for her to lose weight.
