Book 1: Chapter 135

When we got back to the room, we all looked at each other. Did Xiao Hua take the day off? I wondered.

Impossible. Every day was vital right now. They were the main rescue team, so they wouldnt be acting so casual. The only possibility was that this was a smoke screen. If I hadn't seen those powerful figures on the fourth floor, I probably wouldve thought that the whole tulou was fake at this point.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I just couldn't figure it out.

"Speaking of which, I heard that those people on the fourth floor often go out to the surrounding woods, Xiang Dun said. They also seem to be looking for something.

I paced around the room, thinking that it didnt make any sense. What was the difference between the fourth and fifth floors? I really wanted to send a text message to Xiao Hua and ask him what he was doing.

I didn't sleep well that night. Jia Kezi kept watch and woke us up early in the morning. I opened the window and looked outside. A group of people from the fourth floor were going out early and carrying a bunch of equipment. Fatty yawned, looked at his watch, and scolded, "Well, it's going to be a tough today. I didn't sleep much last night and now I have to follow these guys up the mountain."This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Tracking during the day was much safer than at night, but the probability of being discovered was also very high. After Fatty and I had tracked and followed this group of people the whole way, I was certain that they were looking for something. I figured it was probably the calling spring, but this group was completely different from Xiao Hua's usual style. I was about half a kilometer away from them but could still hear them talking about a calling spring. They werent vigilant at all.

Fatty put on a poncho while quietly scolding that he would go down to the bottom of the valley. He was afraid that he would be struck by lightning if he stayed on the mountainside.

It soon started raining hard, so I also put on my poncho and walked to the bottom of the valley. The sky became even darker as I quickly reached the bottom of the valley. I saw the group of people from before squatting on the ground, motionless.

I found a rock to hide behind as the first flash of lightning lit up the sky. In the dim light, I saw them all tilt their heads up, the whites of their eyes showing.

They were listening to the thunder.
