These past two days, Brother Xue and the rest had been investigating the area, and they had a certain understanding of the topography of the area.

After more than three hours of driving around the mountain, we finally arrived at the other side of the mountain village. This was a stone mountain with very few trees and steep roads. There were cliffs and cliffs everywhere, and the villagers wouldn't go down from here, even though they could get out of the mountain faster.

We hid the car, packed everything up, and started up the hill. We have to get to the other side of the mountain by tomorrow afternoon, or we won't have enough time to scout for anything else.

Brother Xue and the rest were all scouts, so they had to train in the beginning, but I have never trained in this area. Although I used to climb trees and climb mountains when I was young, this aspect was still my weakness when compared to Brother Xue and the rest.

It took us almost four hours to reach the halfway point of the mountain. Looking at the twenty-meter high cliff in front of us, I couldn't help but take a deep breath. Amongst these, the best climber was the spirit monkey. He grew up in the mountains, and before he joined the army, he had to dig for herbs in the mountains. This was something they did every day. After he retired home, he often went up to the mountains to dig for herbs, and he had been training hard all the time.

We rested under Sanya, and after eating something, the hunting dog and the spirit monkey began to climb the cliff. When they get up, throw the rope down and we'll start climbing.

It took the Spirit Monkey almost forty minutes to reach the top, and by the time we started climbing, an hour had already passed. The Brother Xue knew that it wasn't good at climbing, so the three people above could only pull me up while I slowly climbed along the cliff.

It took ten minutes of crawling and dragging to get me up the cliff. The path upwards had clearly become much easier. On the other side of the mountain, the terrain was relatively slow. There was more soil and trees growing everywhere.

After about three hours, we finally arrived at the other side of the mountain. Hiding in the jungle, we were already able to see the village less than a kilometer away from us.

Through our goggles, we could clearly see everything in the village. As for the interior of the house, we couldn't clearly see anything at all.

I put down the binoculars in my hands and said, "Brother Xue, lead the two hunters and scout the area. The remaining people will take turns to guard the surroundings."

"I know."

"Remember, report the exact location in five minutes."

"I understand."

After the Brother Xue brought his men and left, the rest of the people started to guard the area. I found a relatively flat place on the ground and took out my laptop to start installing the necessary equipment. We are now less than a kilometer from the village, and at this distance many of the equipment is useless.

When they were investigating just now, I was able to directly receive the data from the cameras. Furthermore, with the satellite map as a comparison, I already had a rough understanding of the situation around the village.

When Brother Xue and the rest returned, it was already 2 in the afternoon. Other than the two of them who were guarding the surroundings, I gathered the others together, ate something, and started to assign them missions.

The Brother Xue and the Hunting Dog each went to set up a few things, while me, Cannon, and Huo Lan proceeded to a bamboo forest two hundred meters away from the left side of the village. When the Brother Xue and the rest were investigating, they discovered that there was a huge rock in the bamboo forest. It could obstruct the view of the village, but we could clearly see everything in the village from behind.

It took me over an hour to get here with the two of them. This place is indeed just like how the Brother Xue and the rest had scouted us earlier, it is very suitable for hiding people. As long as the people from the village come to our back, they would not be able to discover our existence.

When we reached there, I started to arrange everything. Brother Xue and the other two teams had already started installing the things I had given them. Since we have to secretly install it, the Brother Xue and the rest's movements won't be very fast. On my side, I have already built a temporary receiving station.

Rushing across the WeChat map to compare it with the pictures I had taken, I reconstructed a three-dimensional model of the village. Through the close-range signal receiver, I can already determine the location of Tang Pingping and the others, this error can't be more than a meter.

This was only a small village. There were less than 20 people in this village and the young people in the village had all gone out to work. There were only 7 or 8 old people in the village and most of the houses already had their doors locked.

Two hours later, Brother Xue and the rest, as per my request, have finished installing everything. In addition to signal jammer, signal receiver, infrared scanner, life scanner, radar device, HD camera and other equipment.

Through these devices, I knew everything about the village. There were a total of 18 people in the village. Other than the people in the nine villages, the other nine people were gathered in a small two-story building in the innermost part of the village. On the back of the building was the cliff. This building could be considered to have been dug out from the mountain. Other than rushing in from the front, he would have to jump down from the cliff.

After discussing with Brother Xue, we decided to split into face groups. I will bring one group and think of a way to get from the cliff to the rooftop. Brother Xue, on the other hand, will bring another group and charge in from the front. When we reached the roof and found Tang Pingping and the others, the Brother Xue and the others followed us inside and outside, protecting us as we rushed out.

When I was sure, it took the four of us more than three hours to reach the cliff behind the building. The cliff was almost twenty meters high, and although our rope was long enough, there was nothing to hold on to.

Through my night vision goggles, I could see that someone had been arranged on the roof, and from time to time a flashlight illuminated the surroundings.

As we had thought, the man on the roof would have found us as we descended the rope.

The other party had a walkie-talkie in his hand. With a single notification, the people below would be able to react.

Through the scanner, I have already found the location of Tang Pingping and the others. They had four people on the first floor, three on the second, and one on the roof. The top of the building seemed to have the least number of people, but that was enough.

Through the receiver, I was able to decipher the frequency of their walkie-talkie very easily. Everything they said on the intercom is clear to me now.

The man on the roof reports every ten minutes, and there's another man on the radio I've tapped.

According to the information on the walkie-talkie, I found that these people were on high alert. No matter what time it was, there were always guards on the stairs leading up and down each floor.

Each of them had a walkie-talkie in their hands. Apart from resting, each of them had to report their status once every ten minutes. Damn it, these people were just training. Any small change would definitely attract their attention.

After studying it for a long time, I finally realised that unless we kill that fellow on the rooftop, only then would we have the chance to fall off the cliff. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to enter the building. The other party did not seem to know of the situation on the cliff. He would occasionally glance at the situation behind the cliff, and the rest of his time would be spent in front.

It was already 11.30pm at night. According to normal people's habit, it was 6am in the morning when they were at their most sleepy, but these people had received professional training. This time was actually the most stressful time for them.

I thought about it and decided to attack at 7: 30, after a night of intense tension, when the shift would change at 8: 00, so this was the best time to attack. The last half hour was always the hardest half hour.

It's winter now, and the sky might not light up completely at 8 o'clock. As long as it's a bit dark, it's most suitable for us. When I was sure, I arranged for them to rest, two hours each, alternately on duty, while the others rested, resting as well as they could, and keeping their stamina as good as possible.

It was seven o'clock when we woke up and got ready to move. At this moment, the darkness of the night had already started to slowly lighten. Through my binoculars, I could see that the fellow on the roof wasn't walking around on the roof, but was sitting beside a bonfire with his eyes slightly narrowed and he was yawning nonstop.

I took out a throwing knife and gestured from above for a long time. Finally, I found the best spot. When he was training normally, he would throw the dagger forward, giving the opponent a good chance to throw it downwards. If I can't use the money, it's quiet in the mountains, even with a silencer, but I can still avoid attracting the attention of the people below. They were very sensitive to the sound of gunfire.

Brother Xue is also prepared, as long as we succeed on our side, they will immediately attack us, and Brother Xue and the rest will already be less than ten meters away from this building.

As the seven thirty approached, I suddenly felt a little nervous. This was the first time he had been able to travel this far, and from such a high vantage point.

Taking in a deep breath, I slowly calmed my heart down. My right hand held the flying knife tightly. Beside me, Glasses-man and the others had already prepared everything, waiting for me to launch my first attack.

I stared at the person below me. Twenty meters away, without using my binoculars, I could only see a blurry figure. What I needed to do was focus his fatal strike, which would prevent him from making any sound, otherwise, everything would have gone down the drain.
