When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 256 You know quite a lot!

After midnight, Thor took off his headphones, lay down in the car, and started to sleep.

As examiners, they are responsible for monitoring the contestants' every move and making judgments based on their performance.

Li Dongshui was on duty for the first half of the night. When he heard through his earpiece that something had happened to Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei, he couldn't make up his mind and decided to wake up Thor.

"What's wrong?" Thor glanced at his watch and asked while putting on his headphones. "Have Xu Ge and the others arrived in Valon Township already?"

"Well, it seems there's been a slight problem over there," Li Dongshui briefly explained the situation.

At that moment, Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei were talking in their earpieces about why the other hadn't intervened to save the person.

Li Dongshui looked somewhat surprised: "Thor, did you hear that? Does what they mean is that they could have saved the person but didn't?"

Thor didn't speak, listened for a while longer, and then asked curiously, "Huh? My cousin has spotted the enemy?"

“That’s not right!” Li Dongshui glanced at the electronic map. “Those poachers are still on the national highway, they haven’t gone to Walong Township.”

"They might not be poachers; they could be the people responsible for receiving the goods."

Thor yawned. "Did you hear that? The two of them are about to give chase. Contact base and send a drone to follow them."

"it is good!"

Li Dongshui immediately picked up the radio and began making calls.

After everything was arranged, Thor looked at Li Dongshui and said, "You go to sleep, I'll keep an eye on things."

Li Dongshui didn't lie down in a hurry, and asked, "So how should I write an evaluation of what just happened?"

"What happened? I don't know!"

"It's about Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei refusing to help someone in distress..."

"You saw it with your own eyes?"

"No, but I heard it."

"Anyway, I didn't hear it. You might have misheard." Thor waved his hand. "That's the end of it."

"Oh!" Li Dongshui immediately lay down.

Thor listened to the sounds coming through his earpiece, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself, "People from Sky Poison? Cousin, how did you find out about them?"

Wan Xiaofei was also very curious about this question.

The two could see clearly that three figures, two men and one woman, carrying bags, came out of the guesthouse and headed straight up the mountain.

All three were dressed like outdoor enthusiasts, but they all clearly looked like foreigners.

"Judging from his skin color and facial features, he seems to be a Celestial Poison Person!"

Wan Xiaofei exclaimed in surprise, "They might really be the enemy! Xu Ge, how did you find them?"

Xu Ge naturally wouldn't say it was because he used the system; in fact, the fact that wartime mode was triggered only meant that there were enemies nearby.

“Leaving the guesthouse at this time must mean you have something to hide!” Xu Ge returned to the bedside and began packing his things.

Wan Xiaofei immediately understood: "That's right! If there's no problem, why would they run away?"

Since a murder has occurred at the guesthouse, the police will arrive soon, and naturally, they will have to conduct a thorough investigation of everyone.

Having figured this out, Wan Xiaofei no longer hesitated and immediately packed all his belongings.

At 4:10 a.m., the two men went downstairs with their bags on their backs, but the police had not yet arrived.

There were quite a few people watching in the lobby, and some of the bolder ones even took out their phones to take pictures.

Xu Ge walked out the door, where the two corpses were still lying on the ground, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger.

"Those three people just now went north. Should we follow them?" Wan Xiaofei asked in a low voice.

Xu Ge sniffed the lingering scent in the air and nodded: "Yes!"

"Follow me!"

To Xu Ge's surprise, Wan Xiaofei actually took the initiative to walk to the front.

. . .

. . .

The altitude of Walong Township should be below 2000 meters, while the deepest part of the Qiangtang Plateau is above 6000 meters!
Therefore, the altitude will continue to rise over the next period of time.

Both of them were carrying backpacks weighing over 40 kilograms each, and the climb started right after leaving the guesthouse, which was quite a test of their physical strength.

It's the season for vegetation to grow, and the mountains are covered with patches of small plants whose names I don't know.

Although these plants are not very tall, their sheer number has completely obscured the original paths.

Swish!
The two moved very quickly, one in front of the other.

This was the darkest time of day. Wan Xiaofei walked ahead with a flashlight, glancing back at Xu Ge every now and then. Seeing that Xu Ge hadn't fallen behind, he gradually became surprised.

No wonder he's a contestant who came to participate in the Hidden Wolves selection; his physical fitness is impressive!
The same thought also surfaced in Xu Ge's mind.

Wan Xiaofei seems to be a skilled investigator, as he was able to maintain the correct route based on only the slightest clues under such circumstances.

Xu Ge wanted to see Wan Xiaofei's true strength, so he silently followed behind.

"Those three people are pretty fast!"

Outside a grove of trees halfway up the mountain, Wan Xiaofei stopped to rest for a while and whispered, "Judging from their route, they're heading straight for the summit."

Xu Ge agreed: "Yes, they are probably planning to go directly into the Qiangtang region."

"I think we shouldn't get too close. These people are definitely armed, but don't worry, they won't get lost! We'll just keep them at bay and wait for an opportunity to strike. What do you think?"

"I think you're right."

"It's a pity we don't have guns, otherwise we could have charged in and attacked, and passed the selection ahead of schedule!" Wan Xiaofei said with some regret.

Xu Ge was taken aback: "What do you mean by passing the selection ahead of schedule?"

"Isn't solving the poachers enough to complete the mission?"

"Who told you those three in front were poachers?"

Wan Xiaofei: ? ? ?

"Didn't you say those three people were enemies? And what kind of good people could be sneaking up the mountain at this time of year..."

Xu Ge interrupted him: "You underestimate Hidden Wolves. How could their selection process be so simple? I did say those three were enemies, but I didn't say they were poachers."

"Who are they then?"

"The poachers' target this time was the heart and blood of the golden yak. ​​After successfully hunting it, it would be difficult for them to take the items out of the country. They would need someone to help transport them. These three people should be responsible for transporting the goods."

"Damn, you're very well prepared!" Wan Xiaofei suddenly paused, looking at Xu Ge, "How do you know all this?" "A group of people came two years ago. They were also the ones who were selected for Hidden Wolves back then. When I was in recruit training, I was taken on a business trip by some Hidden Wolves people..."

After briefly recounting the previous assessment, Xu Ge continued, "You should have heard of Tiandu's Sun Pharmaceuticals. They seem to be developing some kind of medicine and need materials. Last time, they directly sent professional mercenaries over."

"I know, it's a large multinational corporation... You mean, they might have sent mercenaries this time too?"

"They're the kind of people who'd rather risk their lives than risk their money; otherwise, why would an ordinary person dare to sneak into the country?"

"Holy crap! We're going to have to deal with a team of professional mercenaries!" Wan Xiaofei's face darkened. "Did those two from last time pass the selection?"

Xu Ge shook his head: "No, but they both passed the second selection last year."

"I feel this selection process is much more difficult than the one you mentioned!" Wan Xiaofei looked at Xu Ge. "Are you confident you can pass?"

Xu Ge: "You should ask yourself this question, because I have no choice. Even if you quit halfway, I will still have to finish it alone."

"That won't do! We're partners now, we have to stand together through thick and thin!"

Wan Xiaofei didn't ask Xu Ge why he didn't choose that option, and said in a deep voice, "Since you're so determined, then let's change our plan and catch up with them and launch a fierce attack!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"How can we launch a fierce attack empty-handed...? No, why do you always think about launching a fierce attack?"

"Look, isn't our mission to stop the enemy from hunting wild yaks?"

Xu Ge nodded.

Wan Xiaofei began to analyze: "Your plan to find the wild yak before them is not wrong, but the Qiangtang region is too big. The enemy has vehicles, while we only have two legs. There is no way to guarantee that we will be faster than the enemy."

But I can accurately locate the golden yak by its scent.

Xu Ge thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud. Instead, he said, "Go on."

Wan Xiaofei: "Since those three people ahead are with the poachers, we can get some valuable information from them! We can also seize their weapons, so when we encounter the poachers, we can launch a fierce attack on them!"

Xu Ge thought for a moment and asked, "But they are foreigners. What if we can't speak the language?"

Wan Xiaofei: "I understand the Heavenly Poison Language."

Xu Ge: "What if they refuse to tell us?"

Wan Xiaofei: "I know how to interrogate."

“Okay! Let’s do it your way!” Xu Ge agreed, but still reminded him, “After we catch up, it would be best to find an opportunity to take them down one by one.”

"Don't worry, I'm very good at ambushes!" Wan Xiaofei said before disappearing into the woods.

Xu Ge was quite surprised; this guy knew a lot of things!

However, he always felt that there was something strange about Wan Xiaofei, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with him.

. . .

. . .

After 5:30, the sky began to brighten.

"go there!"

Panting heavily, Wan Xiaofei pointed to a clump of bushes at the top of the mountain and ran over there first.

The two of them had been chasing each other at a fast pace. Given their stamina, unless the other three were also top-tier in terms of physical ability, the two sides should be quite close by now.

Xu Ge understood Wan Xiaofei's meaning: once they reached the mountaintop, the view would be expansive, allowing them to easily search for the enemy.

The location he chose was the best observation point on the entire mountaintop.

"Wait a minute, let me go first!"

Just as Wan Xiaofei was about to climb up, Xu Ge suddenly spoke up.

Wan Xiaofei was taken aback for a moment, then turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Be careful, there might be an ambush!" Xu Ge explained. "If the other side is also a professional mercenary, they must know that this location is a threat to them."

"You're worried they've laid booby traps, right? I've been keeping an eye on it," Wan Xiaofei said.

Xu Ge didn't explain much and walked to the front anyway.

An unfamiliar scent wafted from the bushes ahead, indicating that the enemy had lingered there.

His sniffing skills allowed him to detect even the slightest hint of gunpowder, so Xu Ge felt that walking ahead was the best option.

In fact, Xu Ge had already mentally classified the three people in front of him as professionals.

Because if they were just going to Qiangtang normally, they wouldn't deliberately take a detour of several dozen meters to walk towards the bushes when passing the mountaintop.

Therefore, he slowed his pace with great vigilance, constantly scanning the air for any unusual smells, while keeping his eyes fixed on the ground, not wanting to miss any details.

Xu Ge's caution prompted Wan Xiaofei to change his position, moving to Xu Ge's left rear and also carefully investigating.

"Busbus!"

Hearing the soft hissing sound coming from Wan Xiaofei's mouth behind him, Xu Ge immediately turned around and found that the other party was waving at him. He immediately walked over.

"What did you find?"

"footprint!"

Xu Ge looked down and saw half a footprint in the sand ahead, which looked like it was left by a woman.

"This person should be heading in this direction."

Wan Xiaofei pointed to the left front, frowning, "This isn't the fastest way down the mountain. Damn, these three are something else!"

It was obvious that Wan Xiaofei had also realized that the three enemy soldiers were not ordinary people.

"Then let's go around from the right!"

Although Xu Ge did not smell anything unusual in the air, he still chose not to go in the direction the enemy had taken, just to be on the safe side.

Because the other side may have set a trap ahead.

The two walked a few more steps when Xu Ge suddenly heard a strange sound.

Buzzing!
It felt like something was rapidly breaking through the air as it came up from the bottom of the mountain.

"Scatter!" Xu Ge's expression changed drastically. He shouted in a low voice and quickly leaped to the side.

Wan Xiaofei also rolled away from the spot.

Whoosh!
The next moment, a black arrow struck the spot where Xu Ge had been standing.

Drop drop!
A rapid beeping sound came from the arrow.

"Holy crap! There's a Luna among the enemies!" Wan Xiaofei yelled. "Run!"
