Chapter 572: Chapter 572 A total of 7 people

Wang Biao and the others were scared out of their wits, not daring to utter a single word, they turned their heads and ran towards the wall they had come from.

The patrolling soldier shouted loudly and started chasing after them on the run.

Wang Biao was running for his life, just feeling relieved that the person behind him was quite a distance away and probably couldn’t catch up.

Suddenly, when he reached the wall, he was dumbstruck.

How is he supposed to climb this high wall now?

The group quickly exchanged looks, none of them willing to be left behind as a stepping-stone.

That would certainly mean getting caught.

Just then, a piece of clothing was thrown over the wall, conveniently within reach.

Wang Biao made a split-second decision, rushed over, grabbed the clothing, and climbed over the wall.

On the other side, the shirtless short man was waiting to help.

"I heard some noise inside and guessed you might have been spotted," he said.

Wang Biao jumped down and, without further conversation, used the clothing he grabbed to pull the rest of his brothers up one by one.

At that moment, the small-time hooligans found their hidden potential, their movements now much more agile than before.

It was obvious they had some experience with climbing walls.

"Hey! My clothes!" the short man exclaimed in shock, watching as the last person came over and casually tossed his shirt to the other side of the wall.

"What are you thinking about clothes at a time like this? Run!" someone pushed the short man, who then stumbled to catch up with the others as they ran.

Luckily it was summer.

If it had been winter and he had to run shirtless, he would have surely frozen to death.

The patrolling soldiers reached the wall to find no one in sight.

A patrol member leaped onto the wall and looked in the direction Wang Biao had fled.

"1, 2, 3...7, a total of seven people," he counted, realizing he couldn’t catch up and narrowing his eyes to make out the number of people.

He then climbed down to go and find his superior with his shirt in hand.

An unauthorized group intruding on a military base was not a trivial matter.

It had to be investigated, thoroughly investigated!

That night, the village leader Li’s front door was pounded on so vigorously it startled his family awake from their sleep.

"Coming, coming! Stop knocking already, what’s going on?"

The previous Village Leader Zhang had already finished three terms and been promoted, with Li becoming the new village leader.

He was a diligent village official.

Initially still groggy from being woken up, he immediately straightened up upon seeing the uniformed person at the door.

"What’s happening to cause such a commotion in the middle of the night?"

The messenger from the military stood to attention, saluted, and recounted the events that had transpired.

After listening, Li, the village leader, was so shocked he couldn’t speak and took a while to find his voice.

"You mean someone sneaked into your base? And you suspect it was people from our village?" he asked.

The soldier nodded, his face expressionless but his mind ablaze with anger.

It was unclear what those people were up to, and if it hadn’t been for the timely discovery by the patrol, they might have provoked a serious disturbance.

The fact that someone could easily sneak in was a disgrace!

Usually, there were alarm devices near the wall – how could they have failed so mysteriously today, as if the signals had been jammed?

"A total of seven people. Our commanding officer says we need to find them all within two days!"

Village Leader Li cautiously inquired, "Why would they go there? Has something happened inside? If it’s confidential, never mind, I’m just trying to understand more to help find some clues."

"We’ve had everyone check, and nothing is missing, so we have serious doubts about the motives behind these seven people breaking into the base at night, it might even be some foreign forces at play."

Village Leader Li was dumbfounded, "Foreign forces?"

"It’s only a possibility, not confirmed yet, but our base has never disclosed its location, so how precisely did someone manage to infiltrate it?"

Village Leader Li thought to himself, he too had only learned of this place after taking office.

He quickly assured, "Don’t worry, I will definitely cooperate with you!"

The soldier nodded, saluted again, and then departed, leaving Village Leader Li to sigh.

"Within two days, seven people - looks like I won’t be able to sleep well tomorrow either."

Wondering who the hell would do such a thing and disturb the peace so outrageously, he felt absolutely furious.

The indignant Village Leader Li quickly gathered the other members of the village committee.
