C216 Tempest Eve

On the second day, other than a few people who accompanied Nie Ping to the Little Rock Mountain's camp, the rest of them brought their tools and went with me to the vicinity of the small building.

First we cleaned up the area around the building, at least to make it look like someone was living there, and then we began to think about how to set up traps inside the building.

Amy said that she would create a trap that was made using wooden sticks and sharp bamboo, it could be used to create a trap at the front of the building and the two sides of the other doors in the building. As long as someone came in, they would be able to activate the mechanism on both sides of the porch to directly shoot and kill the enemy, but this trap would still need to be controlled manually for the time being.

Lin Hai suggested that we take some of the floor tiles inside the building and set up a bamboo trap on the floor directly beneath the floor tiles.

He Yunsong thought that they could set up an elastic dagger in some of the grass surrounding the house. This kind of trap was originally used to deal with wild boars, but as long as it was slightly modified, it could be hidden even more, which would cause great damage to people. The most important thing was that this trap did not need to be controlled by anyone, as long as they pulled a thin line on the road that was invisible to the naked eye, it would automatically kill people.

Su Wan said that we can set up a fishnet in a specific place, such as a room that Wu Denghai plans to lure into. That way, we can be able to catch them alive, and after being caught in the fishnet, it will be very difficult for us to escape in a short period of time.

Other people have their own opinions

In the remaining days of this month, we had transformed the interior and exterior of the small building into a "dangerous building" filled with traps. Of course, these traps were still very crude, but this was the best we could do.

Soon February came.

Wu Denghai said that the signal he had agreed on with the Bluebird Company researchers was three thick smoke clouds. After the people of the Bluebird Company arrived at this island, the west coast would be filled with three triangular-shaped smoke pillars, but right now, he was not sure if these fellows would release the signal according to the agreed time and place, so he suggested that we be on high alert from now on, and observe the situation in the air and around the small building carefully. We should be ready to fight at any time.

On the first three days of the second month, other than Chen Mengyu, Su Wan, Hu Ziming, Li Zhiwen, Duan Xiaoxiao and her child being left in the Little Rock Mountain's camp, the rest of the people were sent to ambush us near the small building. Because Hu Ziming had not completely recovered from his injuries, he walked with a limp. Furthermore, staying behind could serve as a form of protection for Chen Mengyu and the others.

We have already made our preparations to hide here for a month straight. If those Bluebird Company people are still nowhere to be seen after a month, we will then prepare for our other plans.

On the fourth day, that is, the fourth of February, three thick pillars of smoke appeared on the western part of the island. Wu Denghai said that this was the kind of smoke signal, and that it was calling for him.

Previously, I had thought that these people from the Bluebird Company would still not appear. If that's the case, then that means that we still have no way to investigate the truth of the matter, and even more so, no way to leave this damned place. Since they're here, then we can finally settle things with each other.

Wu Denghai said that they definitely came by boat. After we control these people from the Bluebird Company, we'll immediately leave by boat.

I originally wanted to go with him, but Wu Denghai said that I definitely could not reveal myself because I am a new face.

Therefore, I told Du Yue to follow him. After all, Du Yue is a employee of the Bluebird Company, even if she is discovered, it can be explained, and it would be even better if she wasn't discovered. Du Yue can come back early and tell us the situation.

Wu Denghai immediately agreed, and I instructed Du Yue in detail to keep her hidden as much as possible. When Wu Denghai talked with the people from the Bluebird Company, she would hide in the distance, and it would be best if she could find out more about their numbers and weapons and equipment.

Du Yue nodded and assured me.

Then, I told Wu Denghai that if there weren't as many people in the Bluebird Company, he would be lured directly to our room in the house that had a fishing net as a trap. If there were too many people, we would kill them first, and there would always be a few who surrendered in the end.

After we were done, I called for Wu Denghai and Du Yue to immediately set off. After the two of them left, I gathered the other people around us and arranged an ambush spot for everyone.

I told Amy and He Yunsong to go to the second floor and squat behind the windows to adapt to the situation.

Lin Hai and Zhou Qiqi were arranged to be next to a room with a fishing net trap inside the house. At the same time, the rods to control the arrow traps were also inside the house, so they needed to consider controlling the arrow traps at the same time.

The rest of us were spread out around the building, each of us armed with a gun and close range weapons. This time, we had all the ammunition out, so as long as we could win, we would have a good chance of returning to the mainland.

Dawn could understand a lot of my words now. I told him to follow me in a while. Dawn didn't know how to use a gun, but he was good at throwing tree spears and close-combat knives.

The sentry was beside me, too, and I checked over and over to make sure that the precise little device on his neck was truly damaged.

After we were assigned, we all hid according to our previous arrangements. I thought that I would be very nervous, but to my surprise, I found that I was completely calm like water.

Was it because he was too nervous?

We didn't talk much to each other during the ambush, and everyone seemed to be thinking about their own things.

I am no exception.

I was thinking about the moon spirit again

Then, I thought about Liu Yong and Niu Zhuang. Could they have been captured by the Bluebird Company? Isn't that just exposing the location of our Little Rock Mountain's campsite?

What did the bearded "pirate" mean before he died? Instead of getting killed by the Bluebird group, why not just get killed by him?

The more I thought about it, the more confused I felt. I hastily patted my forehead to let these thoughts leave my brain. I was now acting as the commander. If I messed up, then our team would be done for.

From this small building to the west coast, if it was Du Yue and I walking together, it would only be around 40 minutes.

After an hour and a half, Du Yue finally returned.

She really believed that the people from Bluebird Company had come. They had ridden on a medium-sized cruise and had anchored at a place near the west coast. Wu Denghai had already connected with them.

All of them were male, and all of them were equipped with firearms. However, there was a possibility that there would be more of them, because there might be people who had yet to disembark from the ship.

Du Yue waited until Wu Denghai brought his men and entered the forest, and obviously rushed back when she returned in the direction of our building, only to see Du Yue anxiously saying: "They will be here in at most half an hour!"

I nodded, and immediately told Du Yue to pass this message to the people ambushing the enemies in and out of the building, to continue waiting in place, and to come back to report to me after the transmission is complete.

Du Yue's communication ended very quickly, and we all hid our bodies in the bushes. At this moment, my heartbeat finally started to accelerate, and that's right, I started to get nervous.

I began to pray silently in my heart that the traps we had set up earlier would work, that there would be no casualties.

Sigh, if only the moon spirit was here …
