Actually, I also understand why Li Runjie isn't happy. Previously, Zhang Chen told me that the reason why Li Runjie communicated with his superiors and tried to send some firepower support was because the fiercer the firepower, the better. It is possible that the people Li Runjie saw were all ordinary soldiers and not the special forces that he had been hoping for.

However, in my heart, I feel that it is not necessary to gather so many people just to deal with some barbarians that are not civilized. These soldiers are more than enough, and they also have submachine guns.

The group of seventeen of us will go deep into the mountain. If we're only dealing with a few savages, as long as there aren't too many of them, then even if we have a hundred and eighty, each bullet would be enough to wipe them all out.

However, things were not as simple as I had imagined, and I did not learn of it until later.

Now that the troops have gathered, we will be going deeper into the mountain.

Li Renjie, Zhang Chen, and I were still sitting in the old Santana. Behind us were three military SUVs, and we were speeding towards the direction of the Great Yan Mountain.

It was afternoon when we set out. The journey was easy at first, but after three hours of driving there was no asphalt in front of us. It was a bumpy dirt road, and after less than an hour the sky had turned completely dark.

I looked out through the window and saw a vast expanse of barren hills and mountains, dark under the cover of the night, which made me feel terrified for no reason.

After another ten minutes of slow travel, there weren't even any dirt roads left. Instead, it was some small paths that people had walked out of, making it impossible for cars to enter.

There was no choice but to get out of the car and walk along the path created by the villagers.

Those cars were all parked by the side of the road, so they didn't have to worry about being stolen. This was a military vehicle, whoever stole this car would also be an eyeless guy.

Zhang Chen and Li Renjie had been leading the way ahead of us. I followed closely behind the two of them, and behind the three of us were the other four members of the special task force.

If they continued forward a bit, they would reach the desolate mountain range.

At least this part of the journey is safe, because we haven't even reached the edge of Mount Goose yet.

The group of people walked forward gloomily, their hearts inexplicably heavy. On the way, only the sound of footsteps could be heard, as if no one was talking.

Li Shujie's expression was always very serious. Along the way, he smoked quite a few cigarettes, as if he had a heavy load on his mind.

Tonight's night was quite good. The sky was dark blue, with a crescent moon hanging high in the sky. The sky was filled with countless stars. A gentle breeze blew past, causing people to feel relaxed and happy.

From time to time, the cries of small insects could be heard in the wilderness. This place was similar to my hometown, and in the summer, when I slept on the brick bed, I could hear the chirping of insects and the chirping of frogs.

My home is also in the countryside, and it's in a ravine, similar to the situation here. Walking on this mountain trail, I suddenly felt homesick, coming out after the new year, half a year has passed, I still haven't returned home yet.

The last time I went home to celebrate the new year, it was me and eldest senior brother who went back together, and then I encountered the matter of my younger cousin being taken away by someone.

The past is hard to look back on.

As we were thinking about the past, we walked along the mountain road. Soon we saw a village in front of us. Some lights were flickering, and since this place had electricity, it was not a very remote place.

This village didn't seem to be very big, about 100 households, but there were very few lights on. It was only 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, and it should be the time when everyone turned on their lights, indicating that the barbarians' attack had affected the village. At night, the families didn't dare to go out, or someone directly left the village to avoid the wind and wait for the people above to deal with this matter.

According to what Li Renjie said, we need to reach a village called West Head Gully at the edge of the mountain before 11 PM. That village is the place where the first unknown creature attacked us, and the three corpses we saw in the dissecting room were the villagers of West Head Gully.

When we arrived at the village, we would stay there that night, and at daybreak we would go deep into the mountains of the geese to search for the location of the unknown creatures.

It would be best if they could capture those creatures alive. If they couldn't, they would try their best to eliminate them on the spot.

The main problem now is that no one knows how many of these unknown creatures exist in the Great Yan Mountain. If we can't handle them, we will definitely ask for reinforcements from the higher-ups.

Zhang Chen told me that after the incident, most of the old people and children had already left the village. Some of the old people and children that couldn't be moved had stayed in the village, and I don't think there would be many people left either. At most, there would be two or three families in the village.

Two or three hours later, at about half past ten, seventeen of us were standing on a rise, looking down. There were twenty or thirty families scattered about in a ravine, but none of them had a light on, and it was hard to tell if anyone was there or not.

Li You Jie waved his hand and led our group down the mountain.

Not long after, they arrived at the village called West Head Gully.

From the looks of it, the buildings in the village were quite old. Most of them were made of stone and did not have the slightest trace of modernization. This was a truly destitute and remote place.

After arriving at the village, Li Renjie immediately divided everyone into three groups and carefully examined the village to see if there were still people there. He also looked for a large courtyard so that we could set up camp there and have a good rest.

They had just divided up and were about to walk into the village when they saw a person appear on the village path, causing them to be alarmed.

All of a sudden, a few light beams look towards the person who suddenly appeared, only to see an old lady leaning on a walking stick, looking at us uninvited guests with a face full of fear.

The old lady's body was very thin. She was so frightened by the electric light that she quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
