Chapter 3366: Chapter 3358: Horror Lake
"Why can’t you go?"
"With my identity, even going abroad requires scrutiny. It’s too much hassle, so I’m not going."
"That makes sense."
"When you come back, let’s go for a trip nearby, maybe climb some mountains."
"With your stamina, can you handle it?"
"If I can’t climb, you can just carry me."
"What makes you say that so shamelessly?"
"I like it." Mi Li raised her head and said.
Since leaving tomorrow, the return time is uncertain.
Lin Yi had another round of back-to-back, and the two only finished in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi dropped Mi Li off at her workplace and drove to see Liang Xianghe.
There was nothing important, it had just become a habit to check in every time he came over.
After chatting for a bit, Lin Yi left and drove to the airport.
But as soon as he reached the airport, he got a call from Yu Siying.
"Boss, their team has started moving on a large scale. They may have found something important. We’re planning to follow up now to prevent them from taking the lead."
"Abort the operation. I’m coming there now."
Yu Siying was stunned for a moment.
"You’re coming here too?"
"I’m at the airport, boarding soon."
"But coming from our country will take at least ten hours. I’m afraid it might be too late."
"If it’s too late, then so be it. I sent you there to investigate, not to risk your lives. Just have someone keep an eye on them, and no one is to proceed without my say. We will discuss everything when I arrive."
"Yes!"
After hanging up Yu Siying’s call, Lin Yi sighed deeply.
After a long period of calm, there was finally some action.
Soon, Lin Yi boarded the plane and, ten hours later, arrived at Mumich, the closest city to the Alps.
Due to the time difference, it was around four in the morning.
The sky outside was just starting to lighten.
Meanwhile, Luo Qi and Zhao Yunhu had been waiting at the airport for a while.
"Boss, did you foresee something, which is why you came over at such a critical time?" Luo Qi asked.
"If I had truly foreseen something, I would’ve come a day earlier," Lin Yi replied with a smile:
"How’s the situation inside?"
"They’ve all gone in. Our people are monitoring outside, but we don’t know the situation. We have to wait until they come out."
"Besides the GP4 team, have you seen any other experts in their group?"
"No, it’s just an ordinary overseas combat team," Luo Qi said.
"But they’re disguised very well. At first glance, they look just like extreme sports enthusiasts. If we hadn’t been monitoring them from the beginning, it would be hard to track their movements."
"These people are really cunning."
"You said it. They brought a bunch of ordinary people to fool the whole world," Luo Qi said.
"But according to the previous plan, we’re just waiting. Whether we find them or not is uncertain."
"No worries," Lin Yi said:
"Safety first in everything."
"Understood."
About an hour later, the group reached the entrance of the mountain.
There was a small town called Sofenris here.
During rotations, one team would rest and station here.
Seeing Lin Yi arrive, Team One was thrilled.
He was the pillar of Team One, a totem-like existence.
With him around, even God wouldn’t intimidate them.
"Have you figured out their activity patterns in the mountains after monitoring them for so long?"
"Their routes are sporadic. We’ve set up cameras in various locations on the mountain, capturing some footage. They don’t seem to have a clear target, just wandering aimlessly."
"What clues led you to believe they found their target this time?"
"About three days ago, they started focusing their movements near Sola Lake. Approximately 20 hours ago, they went into the mountains fully armed, leaving no one at their base."
"So you concluded that their target is Sola Lake, right?"
"Yes." Yu Siying nodded and said:
"We looked into information about Sola Lake and found that the name was changed ten years ago. Previously, it had another name, Weixi Lake, meaning Horror Lake in translation."
"Horror Lake?"
"Because of consecutive missing person cases there, and some even claimed to see activities there at night, hence the name Horror Lake."
"Over time, the stories grew in number and severely affected local tourism. Then the local authorities conducted thorough investigations, even sending professionals to explore the lakebed and film to prove the Horror Lake tales were rumors."
"After that, the lake was renamed by officials, and tourism gradually recovered."
"If people truly went missing, one official inspection wouldn’t completely eradicate such occurrences."
"We thought the same and concentrated on investigating these matters in recent days, leading to many new discoveries."
"Go on."
"In reality, many disappearance cases occurred over the years, but the authorities suppressed them, so outsiders never knew, and local tourism was unaffected."
"Could this be just a normal frequency?" Lin Yi asked:
"Under normal circumstances, tourist spots with mountains and lakes often report missing people or fall incidents."
"That may be true, but Sola Lake’s frequency is high. Over the years, three to five people vanish annually."
"Boss, don’t overlook this detail," Luo Qi mentioned:
"In our country’s tourist sites, while accidents occur, most are accidental deaths, rarely disappearances. Sola Lake’s cases are genuine disappearances, completely untraceable."
Luo Qi’s words enlightened Lin Yi.
Indeed, looking at it that way, it did seem peculiar.
"How long have they been in there?"
Yu Siying glanced at her watch, "About 15 hours, and based on the distance, they should reach Sola Lake in three hours."
"In other words, they’ve been there for 12 hours already."
Lin Yi tapped his fingers on the table, contemplating related matters.
After such a long time, if it’s indeed a targeted operation, there might already be results.
"Pack up and follow up for a look."
"Yes!"
Team One went to pack, as Lin Yi silently gazed at the mountains outside the window.
Just then, the shouting on the street drew Lin Yi’s attention.
"Bring out your medicine, we have an injured needing treatment."
