Chapter 680: Descend, Descend, Descend! Part 3

Li Hu snorted and laughed out of anger after reading through the interrogation transcripts of those who infiltrated the armed forces.

According to the scenario the prisoners had recorded, they found that there were no external communication facilities in the village, nor were there any supermarkets or central markets.

There only found houses for accommodations and a long list of labor tasks.

These people concluded that they had stumbled upon a criminal base after combining these factors.

It would be unrealistic for them to rely on the outside world for help, so they could only depend on themselves.

“It could only be possible if these people had just transmigrated and coincidentally came to our village before receiving a notification from the game. Otherwise…

“They didn’t seem…”

Chen Shen shook his head and put down the notebook in his hand with doubt written all over his face.

It would not matter if these people were human or ghosts if Su Mo were present.

He would only need to give an order on how to deal with it, and everyone present would not hesitate to act.

However, Su Mo was not with them.

This kind of complex situation and wide-ranging problem required everyone to participate in the decision, which extremely troubled some to manage.

After all, they were human beings, and it would be cruel to execute them. They were not really harmful apart from them being clueless during the interrogation.

However, it would be the same as killing them if they release them into the icy cold outside world.

They gave it some deep thought before arriving at the current conclusion of temporarily locking them up and waiting for Su Mo to deal with them when he returned.

“Fortunately, it seems that no new people have appeared today!”

The time passed by very fast as they flipped through the interrogation transcript.

The hand on his watch had already passed eight by the time he had come to his senses.

It was already passed the latest time when these people had previously shown up.

“There are only over 20 of them. It wouldn’t be a big problem to keep them alive for more than ten days with our supplies in the village.

“We will wait until the shelter leader returns to make a decision…”

As the village chief, Chen Shen’s decision accounted for 30%.

After he made the suggestion, Shen Ke and Wu Feiguang agreed with his opinion most of the time.

His decisions would naturally be carried out smoothly without any problems, with these two basically abstaining from the decision.

With the thought in mind, Chen Shen immediately raised his head and prepared himself to suggest his idea to the two standing beside him.

However, before he could speak, Chen Shen was shocked that everyone seemed frozen in place as they glanced blankly in the direction behind him.

“What’s happening?”

He subconsciously turned and cast his gaze in the direction where Li Hu was looking.

In seconds, like everyone else, he was stunned to see the mysterious four-story building slowly advancing toward the basin.

Chen Shen also froze in place with his jaw open and lost his ability to process the scene happening in front of him.

…

Mountain Moon Territory.

After breakfast, the expedition team began to pack their bags.

All the soldiers were refreshed and fully restored to the highest energy levels after a satisfying night of rest.

Su Mo decided to set off without delay after considering that they had twelve days before the extreme cold temperature came and that they had five days more to travel.

However…

‘A bigger group will be harder to handle. Additionally, any corresponding logistical and coordination problems will arise during the journey.

‘It will be easier to conceal ourselves with lesser people.

‘Besides, we won’t come face-to-face with them, so there’s no need to travel with so many weapons.’

After a series of preparations, Su Mo noticed Feng Mengyue instructing her subordinates to pile up their weapons and explosives at the entrance of Mountain Moon Village.

The sight slightly dumbfounded him.

According to her plan, the Mountain Moon Territory would dispatch at least 200 fully armed personnel that would follow under the lead of Su Mo to rescue Guan Shan, who was captured.

They would have a total of 300 people, including the initial soldiers of Su Mo’s expedition team.

The team would be equipped with sufficient weapons and ammunition, allowing them to have the ability to fight back even when faced with 500 to even 1000 enemies.

It was the safest option she had in mind.

However, Feng Mengyue had no idea that the weapons the enemies had were not what she imagined.

Unfortunately, it would be highly likely to cause casualties to half of their 300-men army, and they might not even have the ability to fight back if they were to come face to face with an enemy with no background information available.

“I think it would be best only to let Peace follow me. We’ll get in touch with you when we find Guan Shan.

“As for the others, your team can be prepared to send help at any time. This place would inevitably become a base for us if a battle occurred.

Before Su Mo could explain, the two Liu brothers stepped forward and briefly described the opponent’s technology.

Feng Mengyue was instantly shocked and nodded in agreement without further thought.

“Alright, I’ll make preparations for battle and set up defense facilities after you depart!

“Even if it’ll cost our lives, we will make them pay a bloody price if they come after us!”

Feng Mengyue was confident, knowing that she had the terrain advantage.

Su Mo did not want to diminish her enthusiasm and immediately nodded.

Guan Yuan and the others bid their farewells to Xiao Yu and Feng Mengyue, who would stay behind. Feng Tianming approached and whispered that the team was ready to depart, then they officially set off.

This time, with three locals leading the way, and the fact that the topography of the remaining mountain of the Eight Peak Mountain was flat, the process was much smoother.

It only took half a day for the team to climb over the fourth mountain and head toward the fifth mountain of Eight Peak Mountain…

“It’s Five Fingers Mountain.”
