Vivian nodded with her eyes wide open.
Only then did Qin Yuan let go of his hand.
Then, his gaze shifted to the entrance of Daybreak’s camp.
They saw two people patrolling in their direction.
It was only a few steps away from Qin Yuan and the others.
Qin Yuan and Weiwei covered their mouths on the spot and did not make a sound.
The other party had already walked to the front of their bushes.
A few soldiers holding shiny rifles walked past them.
Qin Yuan and Weiwei’s hearts were in their throats.
Wei Wei’s expression was even more terrified. After all, it was her first time experiencing such a scene. Her eyes widened, and Qin Yuan had no choice but to cover her mouth with his hand.
Fortunately, these soldiers did not notice the two people in the grass. They just walked through the small path outside and left.
Qin Yuan and Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief.
“Phew, luckily they were stupid and didn’t notice us.”
Vivian gasped.
Qin Yuan was not affected at all. He still looked calm.
“Captain Qin Yuan, are you mentally strong?”
Wei Wei looked at Qin Yuan in surprise.
“I’ve seen scenes ten times more dangerous than this.”
Qin Yuan said coldly.
“There are five or six people guarding the door. How are we going to get in?”
Vivian hesitated.
Qin Yuan smiled and touched the top of her head.
“Didn’t you come prepared?”
“I… I’m using the same method to deal with all changes!”
Wei Wei pouted.
Qin Yuan still had a faint smile on his face.
“You really look like your father.”
” Alright, we don’t have time to discuss tactics. Although they have a lot of people now, they are more or less affected by the battle ahead.”
“Now is the best time for us to sneak in.”
“Then let’s go in? Charge in directly?”
Vivian asked.
“Unless you want to walk right into a trap.”
Qin Yuan continued.
“Just follow me. I guarantee you’ll be able to return safely.”
“Oh!”
After saying that, before Wei Wei could react, Qin Yuan suddenly stood up and took out the hypnotic needle that he had prepared beforehand. He stood up extremely quickly and aimed at the few people at the door. He threw a series of rapid and precise throws!
Before the other party could react, he was directly hit by the needle and fell.
Wei Wei, who was at the side, looked at Qin Yuan’s agile and swift movements and could not help but gasp.
“So powerful!”
Qin Yuan did not have time to respond to her. Instead, he continued in a low voice,
“Come, let’s go in immediately!”
After making sure that there were no other Daybreak soldiers nearby, he was shocked.
Before Wei Wei could react, he grabbed her hand and rushed to the door.
It only took them a few seconds to reach the door.
It was a small wooden door that was about the size of a person. When he walked in, he realized that it was already somewhat rotten.
It looked very old and didn’t look like it was used often.
Qin Yuan peeked inside through the crack of the broken wooden door.
It was pitch-black, but he couldn’t see anything.
Qin Yuan was puzzled. According to Lu Ming’s description, this should be an important place guarded by the other party. Why was it so quiet without even a light on?
“Didn’t you say that this place is heavily guarded? Why is there no sound inside? Fortunately, it’s pitch-black.”
Qin Yuan asked curiously.
Vivian was confused and looked inside.
Then, a puzzled expression appeared on her face.
“Previously, I saw that there were lights inside! Why is it so quiet now?”
Vivian said with a frown.
“Could it be that our operation has been discovered?”
“No, there’s still something going on with them!”
At this moment, Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said.
Then, he looked inside and continued,
” Although there’s no sound inside, and the lights aren’t switched on, I can still hear the faint sound of the wind.”
Qin Yuan’s voice was very low, but it was as steady as a rock.
“What? What should we do now? Shall we go in directly?”
Vivian asked.
Qin Yuan listened carefully to the voice inside.
After confirming that he did not hear wrongly, he was shocked.
“There must be a secret room inside. But there’s no one on the first floor.”
“What I’m wondering now is where their people went.”
“Yeah, it’s very strange. I saw a lot of people patrolling nearby just now, but now they’ve disappeared all of a sudden. It’s really strange.”
Vivian asked in confusion.
“I don’t know, but we can only follow this clue and search inside.”
People were always curious. Although the environment was gloomy, it did not stop Vivian from exploring.
“Follow me closely. Remember, no matter what happens, don’t act rashly. Don’t make a sound and stay calm.”
“Yes, alright.”
Then, the two of them passed through the old wooden door and entered the room inside.
Just as they had expected, there was no one inside. Moreover, there was an unpleasant rotten smell coming from inside.
“Sigh! It stinks!”
Vivian complained as soon as she entered.
“Shh! Don’t talk.”
Although it was dark inside, Qin Yuan could still tell the approximate distribution of objects from the blurry outline.
There were a few square garbage disposal boxes inside, and the pungent smell came from them.
Qin Yuan listened attentively to the sounds nearby.
He tried to determine where the wind was coming from.
This place was quite far away from the battlefield ahead, so it was not affected by the noise.
The surroundings were strangely quiet.
A faint sound of wind slowly entered his ears.
Qin Yuan’s expression was solemn as he seriously distinguished the direction of the sound.
He slowly moved his feet. A few minutes later, he arrived at a box near the wall.
Qin Yuan was very sure that the wind came from nearby.
“Have you found it?”
Vivian asked.
“Yes, it’s probably here.”
After Qin Yuan confirmed it, he took out the flashlight on his body and turned it on to look around carefully.
The floor was a large trash can, and the walls and floor were made of stone. The initial inspection did not find any secret passages.
“Strange, is it here?”
Vivian asked.
“I’m very sure that they love to play this game of hiding gold in secret chambers. I’ve found secret passages in this kind of place several times before.”
“If there’s wind coming from here, there must be a trace.”
Qin Yuan said with certainty.
“Could it be behind the rock?”
” Under normal circumstances, yes, but we have to find the corresponding switch.”
Qin Yuan said in a low voice.
Vivian nodded thoughtfully.
He began to look for something similar to a switch nearby.
” Don’t let go of every stone slab. Check them one by one. The mechanism might be hidden inside.”
Qin Yuan did not stay idle either. The two of them divided their work. Each of them was in charge of an area and began to search in an orderly manner.
The two of them searched for a while. A few minutes passed, but they still found nothing.
Qin Yuan was also beginning to feel a little puzzled. Previously, they had followed this method to search and did not spend much time. However, now that the two of them were searching at the same time, they still had no results after five minutes.
This made Qin Yuan feel a little puzzled.
Could it be that the switch wasn’t nearby?
They had searched the area within a few meters, not missing a single inch, but there was no harvest.
“Let’s expand the search.”
Qin Yuan said to Weiwei.
“Alright.”
After that, the two of them searched the small house for a while, but they still found nothing.
“Strange.”
The two of them returned to their original spot and began to exchange the information they had obtained.
“Have you checked every piece here?”
Qin Yuan confirmed again.
“That’s right! We’ve searched every place except for the trash!”
Vivian said anxiously.
Qin Yuan frowned and thought for a moment.
The trash can was something that was separated from the building. The switch could not be inside.
The only other possibility was that it was outside the room.
