Two hours after "Old Xu" also left the campsite, heavily armed combat personnel suddenly entered the campsite from the wilderness.
"Set up defenses and replenish firepower in the 13 o 'clock direction," someone commanded on the communication channel in the combat helmet.
"Shrink the formation and check the campsite. Look for the marks left behind by the commanding officer."
In just a minute, these 200-odd people had completed their surveillance of the surrounding area within a radius of several hundred meters. Some of them organized a firepower blockade, while others acted as a mobile unit and were ready to provide fire support at any time.
These 200-odd people were famous in the Kong Consortium and had an illustrious reputation.
The Kong Clan's intelligence department was divided into the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions. The 1st Division was in charge of internal affairs, the 2nd Division was in charge of external affairs, and the 3rd Division was in charge of overcoming difficulties and fighting tough battles. For example, the 3rd Division was responsible for bringing someone out of another consortium's territory.
Wang Yun was in the 3rd Division at the very beginning, and these 200-odd subordinates had been following him since then.
Later on, he was recognized by Kong Erdong and transferred to the 2nd Division to be in charge of internal supervision of the consortium. He slowly transferred these people over as well. As a result, these 200-odd people gradually gained the nickname of the Krock-uniform Guards within the Kong Clan.
After Wang Yun became the director of the 2nd Division, these 200-odd people became his direct subordinates and were brought to the 2nd Division.
It could be said that Wang Yun had been able to rise through the ranks all these years thanks to these people. Every soldier was good at fighting and had extremely strong individual abilities.
Although these people were still soldiers, their ranks and salaries were very high.
Occasionally, after Wang Yun was in charge of assassinating a target, the money left behind by the target would be distributed to everyone.
This time, Wang Yun placed great importance on this trip to the Sacred Mountains. Therefore, he only brought his direct subordinates with him to prevent outsiders from causing trouble for him.
At this moment, the 200-odd people had completely taken control of the campsite where Ren Xiaosu and the others had stayed previously.
Meanwhile, the commanding officer of the "Krock-uniform Guards" was in the campsite, waiting for his subordinates to search for the marks left behind by Wang Yun.
They were all Wang Yun's direct subordinates, and they were also the most elite soldiers in the Kong Clan's intelligence system. In the past, they had carried out many decapitation and infiltration missions.
This time, Wang Yun suddenly took them away from the Kong Clan at this critical moment, which puzzled the brothers. Is Officer Wang Yun going to give up his position as the intelligence officer?
As a result, Wang Yun explained his plan. Only then did everyone understand that Wang Yun had already made up his mind long ago. He wanted to use his merits to get promoted!
At this moment, someone in the comms channel said, "Sir, we've found the mark left behind by Sir Wang Yun."
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard walked over. "Are you sure it's Officer Wang Yun's mark?"
"Yes, a bullet was dug out from under the roots," the man reported.
Not only were there markings on the tree, but there were also bullets buried in the ground. This could be considered a double verification method to avoid being confused with other people's markings.
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard walked up to the tree, but he was stunned when he saw the markings on the tree.
"There's an X in the circle. Is Officer Wang Yun telling us to retreat?" The commander was a little puzzled. "Could it be that something unexpected has happened and it's no longer suitable for us to take action?"
"It's also possible that Officer Wang Yun feels that we're just normal people and can't go any deeper?" A subordinate analyzed. "It's said that there's something strange about the Sacred Mountains and that it's very dangerous."
"We can't be sure of Officer Wang Yun's intentions, but he's always very confident in everything he does. Since he wants us to retreat, let's retreat." The commander said, "Let's retreat 40 kilometers north of the black market and set up camp. Retreat!"
With that, the troops quickly retreated like the receding tide. They were swift but orderly.
At this moment, Wang Yun, who was walking with the troops, had a smile on his lips. This time, he had come prepared.
…
"Who was the person who was attacked?" Cheng Yu asked Song Qiao.
"I don't know." Song Qiao shook his head. "But it's definitely someone from the consortium. He should be the helper of one of the supernatural beings in the group. He probably didn't leave the campsite to go to the bathroom but to relay a message to the outside world. However, he didn't expect to encounter such a mishap."
"I heard the incident happened very close to the campsite. Did he not even have a chance to call for help?" Cheng Yu asked again.
"There was no sound at all." Song Qiao explained, "I've also checked his wound. The flesh on his neck is a bloody mess, so I can't see anything."
"Then we'll have to be careful. I suspect it might have followed you all here," Cheng Yu said helplessly.
He felt very uncomfortable about this. It was obvious that this group of people had been targeted by something. In the end, the higher-ups requested for them to merge with the others. His group had been fine at first, but now they had to be on tenterhooks.
Song Qiao could guess what Cheng Yu was thinking. He said with a smile, "It's also a good thing for you to merge with the others. Your combat strength isn't that strong, so how can you possibly return safely from the Sacred Mountains with just those assistants of yours?"
"What do you know?" Cheng Yu snapped, "Wild animals don't know how to distinguish between illusions. They don't have the intelligence to do so. As long as they see it, they'll believe it. My power might not be effective against many supernatural beings, but when it comes to dealing with wild animals, which one of you is better than me? If we're really in danger, I guarantee that the wild animals won't be able to detect me even if they pass by me. You should just worry about yourself. "
Song Qiao pondered for a moment. That seemed to be the case. Cheng Yu's power might not be effective against some smart people, but wild animals would not be able to distinguish between them. He said in a low voice, "Bro, if we're really in a life-and-death situation, I'll definitely reward you handsomely if you help me out."
"That's more like it." Cheng Yu laughed.
But while the two of them were chatting, the sound of wild animals suddenly came from up ahead. Everyone in the group stopped in their tracks at the same time and went on high alert.
Cheng Yu and Song Qiao looked at each other and quickly rushed towards the source of the sound.
Neither of them were cowards, and cowards would not come to a place like this. Rather than cowering in fear, they might as well hurry over and see what was going on.
Of course, someone was even faster than them. Luo Lan was still panting as he walked along the mountain path. When he heard the commotion, he immediately rushed out.
He was not afraid at all. Ren Xiaosu was right behind him, so what the hell was there to be afraid of?
With someone taking the lead, the rest of the people behind him followed suit.
Yang Xiaojin asked, "Can you tell what that sound is?"
"It's just a big fox." Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly, "We've already killed it. I didn't expect it to be so fast, so we nearly let it get away."
Yang Xiaojin realized it was Ren Xiaosu who had caused the commotion.
When Cheng Yu and the others arrived at the scene, only the fox's corpse was left on the ground. The fox's spine had been twisted off by someone in an extremely violent manner.
Cheng Yu frowned. "Could this be the thing that attacked your team members?"
"It's possible." As Song Qiao spoke, he used a dagger to cut open the fox's abdomen. The colorful internal organs fell out.
Song Qiao's assistant did not mind it being dirty. After a quick inspection, he said with certainty, "There are still human organs in its stomach that haven't been digested yet. It's this one."
"But who killed it?" After Cheng Yu received the confirmation, not only did he not heave a sigh of relief, he became even more worried!
