It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

The passenger in the front seat heard this immediately, opened the car door, and jumped out. He rolled on the ground several times, clutching his head, but was still seriously injured.

One reason was the excessive speed of the vehicle, and the other was the uneven ground with many stones embedded in it.

Seeing this, the three people in the truck bed disregarded everything else and jumped out of the truck, ignoring the danger.

The driver saw through the rearview mirror that the three people behind him had also jumped out of the car. He then focused his gaze on a bush on his right and swerved the steering wheel, opening the car door and jumping out.

He jumped quickly, but the car was also going fast. He was hit by the rear of the car as it turned and was thrown into the bushes on the right.

The car veered into the bushes and finally crashed into a tree, coming to a stop.

All five people were injured to varying degrees. Except for the driver, who was unconscious, the other four were still conscious and did not appear to be in any life-threatening condition.

Yun Li had already left the space. Her initial goal was for them to rush down the hillside to the farmland at the bottom, but she didn't expect them to jump out of the car halfway.

Consider their motives: they were probably afraid the gold would be discovered.

The four people who were still able to move dragged their injured bodies toward the driver.

"Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong..."

Zhong Ge, who was being called out to, was bleeding profusely from his head. One of them immediately took off his clothes and wrapped them around his wound.

"What do we do now?!"

The shortest kid, seeing the current situation, couldn't help but tear up.

No one answered, because they didn't know what to do either.

After a long while, one of them tentatively suggested, "Why don't we hide the gold separately first, and come back to collect it later?"

"Then take Brother Zhong to the hospital."

The other three disagreed with this suggestion. "No, Brother Zhong can't wait. Let's hide the gold properly."

The person who made the suggestion knew this, but it was the best way. If they didn't hide the gold as soon as possible, they would all be finished if it was discovered.

Leaving aside whether the law will punish them, their elder brother will certainly not let them off the hook.

"In that case, Xiao Hai and I will take Brother Zhong to the hospital, and you two can stay here and hide the gold."

Now none of them had any objections.

One carried Zhong Ge on his back, while the other followed beside him, pressing Zhong Ge's wound with his clothes as they walked towards the county town.

The other two, despite their injuries, slowly began to divide and hide the gold.

Yun Li silently approached behind a tree. Just as the man who had hidden the gold turned around, something got into his eyes. Before he could rub his eyes, he collapsed.

Yun Li then hid not far from another person and, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, sprinkled a packet of sleeping pills on him as well.

Having successfully charmed the two men, she used her mental power to shield the truck and then walked briskly towards the Menzhong County Public Security Bureau.

……

"Little friend, is there something you need?"

The police officer on duty saw a little beggar walking towards them and came out of the post to ask him a question.

Yun Li stretched out his thin, dark hand and handed him a note, then turned and ran, but he couldn't escape and was caught.

Yun Li turned around in surprise, but there was no shock in her eyes, only numbness.

The police officer smiled and reassured him, "Don't be afraid, I just want to see what's written on the note and see if there's anything I need to ask you."

Yun Li didn't say anything, she just looked at him.

The police officer said again, "I'll let you go, but please don't run away, okay?"

Yun Li remained silent.

The silence, which everyone agreed to signify consent, allowed the police officer to relax and hold her hand.

however……

Even common perceptions can sometimes be wrong. The moment Yun Li let go of his hand, she ran away in a flash.

When the police officers realized what was happening, they missed their target. They chased after him for a while but lost him.

He shook his head helplessly, opened the note in his hand, and his expression turned serious as he read it. He quickly ran back to the bureau to report to Director Guan.

After reading the note, Director Guan immediately gathered his men and went to the location written on the note, while also sending people to the hospital to arrest the three people.

The note clearly stated that of the three people who went to the hospital, one was shirtless with multiple abrasions, and another was very short and also had injuries.

Another one was unconscious, with a large hole in his head.

With their distinctive features and the fact that the three were together, they were easily identified at the hospital and successfully apprehended.

As for the truck carrying the eight boxes of gold, it was a large enough target that it could be spotted at a glance once it arrived at the location, without needing to search for it.

After searching the vicinity, they found the two unconscious people. They splashed water on them to wake them up and then made them reveal the other places where the gold was hidden.

They hadn't actually hidden much; they hadn't even hidden half a box. Seeing that seven and a half boxes had been confiscated, there was no need to continue hiding what little they had, so they honestly confessed.

Everything went smoothly until the interrogation revealed who had sent them to dig for gold, at which point all four refused to say a word.

One person remains unconscious and has not yet passed the critical period.

When the police arrived at the location of the small truck after seeing the note, Yun Li had already reached the narrow path leading to Jiazigou.

However, she entered the space halfway there because Director Guan and his men had also arrived at Jiazigou. They were going to take a look at the place where they were digging for gold.

Knowing that they had gone to Jiazigou, Yunli stayed in the space and did not go out.

After waiting for more than three hours, as it grew dark, Director Guan and his entourage left Jiazigou. Only then did she emerge from her spatial dimension and continue walking towards Jiazigou.

In the mountains at night, not only does the temperature drop, but the atmosphere is also terrifying.

However, neither the temperature changes nor the terrifying atmosphere made any difference to Yun Li, who had lived through ninety-nine lifetimes, any difference from daytime.

With a sweep of his mental energy, he accurately located a large burial mound.

She spent an hour digging up the grave mound, took out a large bucket of mixed ashes, and brought it to the various outhouses.

In summer, the outhouse is a paradise for maggots.

She scattered some of the ashes in each of the outhouses until they were all gone, and only then was she satisfied enough to go into the space to bathe, eat, and sleep.

next day

Thunderstorms started early in the morning.

Yun Li glanced at the surroundings and didn't leave the space. In the thunderstorm, the narrow path would definitely be slippery, and one wrong step could send him tumbling down the cliff.

She planned to wait until the rain stopped and the ground dried before continuing her search for her enemy.

A certain military region

Yun Jiaoyue held the letter she had just received, looking as if all her energy had been drained away. Her face was deathly pale, and she was trembling all over.

The letter contained only ordinary greetings and everyday conversation.

Of course, this is only what those who don't know the code see on the surface.

Yun Jiaoyue was someone who knew the code. The first few words of lines one through nine could be linked together to mean: "The domestic pigs are all dead."

"Home" means original, and also represents "clamp". "Pig" represents "clan". The last three words "all died" are easier to understand.

The code word translates to: the entire family is dead, or all the people of Jiazigou are dead.
