The explosives were delivered to the campsite before eight o 'clock in the evening. After that, the engineering team dug twenty-nine three-meter-deep holes in the ice and filled them with explosives. By the time they were done, it was already eleven o' clock.
The second team had already taken over the first team's shift, keeping an eye on the situation at the pool. Meanwhile, the man in sunglasses was checking if the explosives had been filled. Suddenly, a player with the code name Parrot approached him.
The man in sunglasses looked at the little girl behind Parrot and raised his eyebrows. "Where did you find her?"
"Behind a hillside. When I went there, I saw her sleeping there alone," Parrot said. "But she didn't want to tell me why she was there. Ugh … In fact, she didn't want to answer any questions at all. However, there were some children's toys in the old man's cave. I guess they belonged to her."
"Is she a native of this mountain?" The man in sunglasses nodded. He was too lazy to make things difficult for the little girl. So, he waved his hand and said, "Give her some food and water. When she's full, send her back. We have frozen Simon in the lake. The others don't matter anymore."
"Okay," Parrot said.
However, just as he turned around and was about to leave with the little girl, he didn't expect to hear a sudden exclamation from the engineering team. Then, he saw a person drop the drill in his hand and stumble over to him.
Because the ice under his feet was too slippery, he ran too fast and fell halfway. He did not even bother to wipe the blood off his face. Instead, he stood up and continued to run.
The man in sunglasses also realized that something might have happened at the pool. His heart sank, and before the engineering team player could reach him, he took the initiative to ask, "What's going on?"
"We … we found something, and we might need you to take a look at it."
The man in sunglasses did not waste any time. He immediately went to the place where the engineering team was working. Now, the people there had stopped what they were doing and gathered together.
Seeing the man in sunglasses coming over, the crowd took the initiative to make a path for him.
The man in sunglasses also saw the place they were surrounding. It was the last ice hole, located a little in front of the frozen waterfall.
"What's wrong?"
A man pointed to the frozen waterfall and gulped. "Here, there seems to be water behind it."
"So what if there is water?" The man wearing sunglasses frowned, but the next second, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly walked to the ice waterfall.
He noticed that there was a part of the frozen waterfall that was much thinner than the rest of the waterfall. The other parts of the waterfall could hardly be seen through the ice, but this part of the waterfall could be faintly seen through the ice.
The man wearing sunglasses had sweat on his forehead. He looked around, then grabbed a hammer from a man's hand and smashed it on the ice.
In the end, it only took one hammer strike to break through the hole, and the stream water flowed out. The two people who were standing closest to it were directly washed to the ground. Although the others managed to avoid it, they were also in a sorry state. Their shoes and trousers were all wet.
Seeing this scene, how could everyone not know what had happened. Previously, the Spirit of Arctic Frost had frozen the entire pool, but for some reason, it had failed to freeze Simon. Furthermore, Simon had secretly dug a tunnel right under their noses, and using the cover of the icy waterfall, he had directly swam upstream from here.
But how did he do it? Especially this tunnel. When he was digging, there was no sound at all. It was simply unbelievable!
Everyone had seen too many unbelievable things from Simon today. They were even a little numb to it. However, the man wearing sunglasses could not help but swear. Then, he said, "Wake everyone up. Get into combat mode immediately!"
Soon, even the first batch of people who had crawled into their sleeping bags were woken up by their companions. Initially, they could not help but grumble, but when they heard that Simon had escaped from the pool, they immediately became clear-headed. They immediately put on their equipment and picked up their weapons.
At this time, the Spirit of Arctic Frost had put down the tablet in his hand and walked to the ice waterfall. His expression was particularly ugly. After all, he was the one who swore that the entire pool was frozen and that Simon was dead for sure. In the end, Simon had already left the pool.
The people on the second line looked at the Spirit of Arctic Frost with hostility again. It was because of this guy that they gave up on the Seahorse. In the end, not only did they fail to kill Zhang Heng, but they also lost the Seahorse. Perhaps the Seahorse was not far away from killing Zhang Heng at that time.
However, they also knew that it was not the time to talk about this. The man wearing sunglasses had already ordered his men to release the remaining drones, but they did not find any suspicious figures around.
Had Simon escaped?
The man wearing sunglasses did not think so. Judging from the layout of the pool, Simon had obviously expected them to come. Since Simon did not choose to escape at that time and decided to prepare for battle in advance, there was no reason for him to suddenly escape halfway. Judging from the battle between the two sides, the hunting team had suffered a crushing defeat. They had suffered heavy casualties, but they had not even caught a glimpse of Zhang Heng's shadow.
But if Zhang Heng was not here, where could he have gone?
The man wearing sunglasses pondered for a moment, and he finally thought of something. "The two squads at the cave. Send a message to them and ask them to come here quickly."
"Okay."
"No," the man wearing sunglasses overturned the order he just made. "Don't let them come to meet us. Ask them to leave directly. Be careful, don't bump into Simon."
Soon after, the man wearing sunglasses received news that the two squads at the cave had lost contact with them.
The enemy moved faster than they thought. The man wearing sunglasses only just thought of the other side, but he did not expect that the battle there had already ended. Where was Simon now?
The man with the sunglasses put himself in Simon's shoes. He should have immediately returned after dealing with the people in the cave. While the rest of the team hadn't discovered that he had escaped, he should have taken advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack and kill as many people as possible. However, Simon didn't seem to do that.
Of course, it couldn't be because he was afraid of being surrounded. After all, during the day, Simon didn't feel afraid when he was surrounded, and he even calmly killed his way in and out of the encirclement. The man wearing sunglasses had no idea what Simon was thinking now, but he knew that Shuang Fa's situation had been completely reversed, and they were the ones in danger. He couldn't go according to Simon's rhythm anymore.
