Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Digging the Tunnel

"Why are they shoveling snow? What are they trying to do?"

Jhiang Yuan’s mind was already forming some immature ideas.

But she didn’t dare to be certain.

"Look, they’re heading towards the opposite side."

Opposite were Buildings 9, 10, and 11.

What were they doing over there? Could it be they wanted to replicate the tragedy that befell Building 12 to every other building?

"Heaven’s, what do they want to do? It’s this time already, and they’re still working?"

Zhang Kaiyang was beside himself with anxiety, yet he didn’t know what to do.

Jhiang Yuan sighed and handed him the binoculars.

"The people on the eighth floor, they’re acting abnormally, as if they’re impatient for something.

Could it be that they’ve heard some news?"

As soon as this was said, everyone became baffled. The first thought was the news network they had mentioned before.

Could it be that there really were people in control of information? But everyone had been watching day and night and had noticed nothing unusual!

Doubt, confusion, and fear spread among them.

By now, the snow on the ground was very thick, at least two meters deep.

If it hadn’t been cleared earlier, the seventh floor would probably be submerged by now.

Although half remained, people still had to stoop over, which was particularly inconvenient.

The group’s pace was surprisingly fast.

In a short while, they had already cleared around five or six meters.

"Brother Song, what do we do now?"

Song Yi handed the binoculars to Liang Kang beside him.

He walked over to the living room, and the others began to observe the situation in detail.

Jhiang Yuan followed them, her mind spinning with thoughts, yet she had no idea how to respond.

"Don’t panic. If I’m not mistaken,

They must be planning to sweep the buildings. Besides those three above, the eight ahead are likely their targets too.

Let’s just wait, like a mantis stalking a cicada..."

Fan Qing immediately chimed in, "With the oriole behind, Brother Song, do you mean we wait until they get hurt in the other buildings before we move in?"

Correct. Song Yi nodded but didn’t look at her, his face unwelcoming to strangers.

"Now five people have gone down, but just now there were six. That means one person is definitely gone, or at the very least, injured."

Zhang Kaiyang was somewhat excited; the rest of the events had been guessed by Song Yi.

"So there’s always been one person who hasn’t gone out, guarding the base camp, or doing other important things."

Jhiang Yuan analyzed, and Song Yi immediately realized.

"So, it’s him!"

"Yes, I think so too."

Ye Mianmian and the others, utterly confused, said, "Sister Yuan, what are you talking about?"

"The one who hasn’t shown up, probably the big boss."

This statement was as good as saying nothing.

However, Jhiang Yuan and Song Yi both knew what it meant.

The scariest thing about a conspiracy isn’t the wolves charging into the fray.

It’s the hidden hyena without any apparent lethality behind them.

Because he’s the strategist, surviving by his wits, the soul of the entire wolf pack.

Just like the person now hidden from view.

"I think we need to take a trip to the eighth floor now."

"Yes..."

"Great, let’s hurry up. I can’t take it anymore, I feel like I’m going to go crazy if this continues. These people are just too terrifying.

I’d rather have a real fight with real guns and knives, that would be so much more thrilling."

Zhang Kaiyang slapped the table, boiling with excitement, ready to go back for weapons.

Fan Qing forcefully held him down, her face full of helplessness.

"Listen to what Brother Song is saying—if we’re going, we need a plan.

You rush in headlong like this, how can they trust you and not take any precaution?

Don’t be impulsive, unless you want to walk into your own death."

Although it wasn’t pleasant to hear, every word made sense.

"Qingqing is right, I also think that the people on the eighth floor probably have some tricks up their sleeves. It’s good for us to be careful."

"Brother Song, I’m sorry, I was rash. When do you think is the best time to go? I’ll listen to you."

Zhang Kaiyang’s attitude pleased his girlfriend.

"We’ll go over when they start getting busy, to the opposite side."

This way, there would be more time.

And judging by the speed of the people down there, they would definitely reach the opposite building by eight tonight.

Now estimating the direct distance, it would be no problem to get to the building right across, including the two buildings on the side.

And it would be much faster too.

Zhang Kaiyang and Liang Kang stayed behind, while Jhiang Yuan and the others went back and would gather again at seven.

In fact, everyone could have dinner in the meantime.

Qin Yue found out and hurried to prepare.

Lunch was eaten late today, so they would have dinner at six.

They didn’t make anything special, just plain porridge and simple dishes.

Jhiang Yuan arrived ten minutes early, without Jhiang Xingzhi.

She told Zhang Kaiyang and Liang Kang to go back for dinner while Song Yi also soaked a pot of noodles and sat on the sofa.

"They’re about to break through over there. The pace of these people is really quite fast."

"Yes, indeed. There’s probably going to be big movements tonight. We’re in for a long night."

"Staying up isn’t scary, what’s scary is getting our hopes up for nothing.

Song Yi, do you think that person might be Old Xu?"

He finished the sausage he was holding and said seriously, "I’m thinking the same thing. It’s highly likely. Now, we must stay calm, understand?"

"Mhm!"

We’ve been waiting for so long, a little while longer won’t make a difference.

The rest of the group quickly arrived as well.

"How’s it going?"

Ye Mianmian was very concerned and asked Jhiang Yuan as soon as she arrived.

"Nothing, let’s just wait."

Turning around, she saw Ye Mianmian fully prepared.

Boy, this girl sure worked fast.

Indeed, by seven, the way was open.

"What’s going on? They’re actually coming back..."

Those five people were heading towards Building 13.

"Don’t panic, they need to replenish their energy, they haven’t had dinner yet."

"How about this, let’s go down and check it out. You guys may not know, but I have a very keen nose."

Fan Qing said, and Zhang Kaiyang chimed in agreement.

"That’s of no use though, they’re just coming back to eat.

Even if you can smell what they’re eating, it has nothing to do with us!"

But Fan Qing didn’t see it that way and was somewhat indifferent.

"That can still tell us if they really came back to eat or not.

Anyway, it’s better than waiting here doing nothing."

That made sense, Jhiang Yuan was supportive.

"I think it’s a good idea, there’s nothing to lose by going down, and we can see if those people are on their guard.

Let’s go, we’ll pretend to head to level nine, to that room you had before."

"Not everyone should go, just a few of us will do."

Song Yi said this, and he was definitely going; along with Fan Qing, Zhang Kaiyang, and Liang Kang.
