I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 908: The Distance to the Truth
So should I speak up, or should I stay quiet? Moreover, if I do speak up, will it benefit us? These are things he needs to consider.
Lin Yaru paced back and forth in the room. Although she wasn't completely confined, she worried that if she went outside, she might become a target for those people.
Night fell in the blink of an eye. In the village, once darkness descends, everyone shuts their doors, and no one lingers outside.
Occasionally, some young people pass through, but they quickly return home since the village isn't very large.
If they are just passing through temporarily, they could return home swiftly.
Ye Chen and Anying waited in the back mountain. Ye Chen looked up and saw the moon high in the sky. He checked the time; it was already 8:00 PM.
"Hungry? If I had known, I would've prepared some food in advance."
Ye Chen suddenly lifted his head and said to Anying.
Anying merely smiled slightly and shook his head gently.
"No worries, I'm not hungry yet. Besides, if I were, I'd find something to eat."
"Find food? How will you do that? In this dense forest, what food is there? Do you really think, like he said, there are prey animals here? Absolutely not."
"Yes, there's unlikely to be such prey, but finding a wild chicken or something shouldn't be too hard. Still, it's better to avoid unnecessary actions. For now, let's wait patiently. By 10 or 11 PM, the village should quiet down completely."
"Right, then it's our best chance to act. Have you prepared everything? Once we start, wait outside for me to settle inside before you come in, or I fear you'll be put in danger."
"What, do you think he can really harm me? Once we enter, he'll quickly recognize us and know our strengths and weaknesses."
"That's why I'm worried he'll use you to threaten me, which will complicate things. How about you wait here in the forest, and once I subdue him, I'll bring him directly here?"
"It's not that simple. Walking there takes about 20 minutes each way, which wastes a lot of time, and time is very tight for us."
"By the way, you mentioned they have a signal transmitter machine, with a range of over 10,000 kilometers, meaning their base must be on the other side of the world, extremely far from here, right?"
"Yes, it's very far. I'm just not sure how he recruited such a role domestically. Capturing him might finally unravel everything."
After listening to Anying's analysis, Ye Chen nodded. He had considered this before.
But without solid evidence, he had only his speculations to rely on.
"Forget it, it seems we're just speculating here. But I feel we're getting closer to the truth. Do you think so?"
Ye Chen didn't know why, but he felt optimistic. Things were moving forward, at least not backwards.
Ye Chen felt increasingly at ease. Even though he knew the road ahead wouldn't be easy, he felt things were at least under his control.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, stood up, and surveyed the back mountain.
At night, the back mountain was shrouded in darkness.
Surrounded by trees, the light from the moon was blocked.
"Hey, do you remember hearing them say in the village that they heard wolves at night? I think those sounds were made by that old guy."
"Of course, doing such things is easy. Didn't you notice how empty the back mountain is, with loud echoes? A good speaker here could easily send sounds to the village. When villagers hear it, they'd think there are wolves."
"I didn't expect his diversion tactic to work so well, keeping people away from the back mountain, and safeguarding his secrets here."
"Exactly, and I didn't tell you, but they check these devices regularly, typically every two weeks." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Every two weeks? If there are no problems in that time, does that mean they won't show up here?"
"Yes, but they usually come once every two weeks. I know they're handling external matters now."
"With two already dead and one captured, they've lost a lot. There can't only be a few of them in a city, right?"
