For an ordinary person, it was truly no difficulty.
The woman was moved to tears of gratitude and wanted to kowtow with the little girl.
"Alright, sister-in-law, you don't need to be like this. This is also our duty."
Having finally managed to calm the situation, Li Chonglou quickly found an excuse to leave.
Of course, before leaving, he still asked for a photo of her husband.
After leaving the house, Li Chonglou did not leave immediately. Like the people from the Wudi faction he had encountered earlier, he chose to find more people to understand the situation, ensuring that the woman was not lying.
About ten minutes later, as Li Chonglou emerged from a civilian house, he encountered two figures.
"How is it? Are you sure?"
"Yes, it's basically confirmed. Their accounts are almost identical."
"Good, let's report back first."
The two figures sized him up from left to right, then quickly moved off in one direction.
Li Chonglou emerged from a corner, musing, "Now it seems all the problems point to that old madman. If they are looking for people at this time..."
In Li Chonglou's view, the risk was still quite high.
His primary concern now was to have the Wudi faction and others stall the old madman's men, allowing the island nation and the Black Forest forces to overlook them. However, if the Wudi faction and others focused on the old madman, or even the mine, it might disrupt his plan.
After the inquiries just now, Li Chonglou understood that the main point of contention among the three forces was the mine. If his guess was correct, this mine was likely related to new weapons. If the Wudi faction and others targeted the mine.
The people from the island nation and those dark forces would likely shift their attention back to the mine.
"No, I need to give them some fuel."
Li Chonglou suddenly had an idea and followed the direction the two had left.
In a temporarily developed cave, all the trainees who had escaped from the building were hiding. To prevent being wiped out in one go, they had even created two exits.
As soon as the two men returned, they were surrounded by everyone.
"How is it? Did you find out?"
The two recounted the situation they had investigated. Liu Tixing said coldly, "In that case, we are not following that guy's plan at all. If we just ask the old madman, everything will be clear."
Wu Di shook his head and said, "If he wanted to say, he would have told us long ago. Why would he need people to block us?"
"Then we can also go directly to the mine and figure out how to rescue them. It's better than staying here cooperating with him on things that might be useless."
Liu Tianzhi said, "This might be really troublesome. According to those villagers, we cultivators cannot enter that mine. If all the people are inside, how can we rescue them?"
"Also, if we all go, and alert the enemy, the other two forces might surround us, making it even more troublesome."
Liu Tixing still clearly did not want to help Li Chonglou. He said coldly, "Just some ignorant villagers. Perhaps the cultivators they mentioned are just newcomers with low cultivation."
This was not impossible. In their inquiries, no one had said that the General Bureau people dared not enter. In fact, even if they entered to cultivate, they might not know.
However, this was also a risk.
Wu Di and Liu Tianzhi found it difficult to make a decision.
In fact, they were also reluctant to be led by Li Chonglou. A person who caused trouble for others, at least for now, Li Chonglou would not get any favors from them.
"Why don't we try confronting the old madman first? No matter how strong he is, he has to give us face."
Someone suggested. However, at that moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the cave entrance, followed by a hoarse shout.
"Quick, someone, they are all here!"
Everyone's expression suddenly changed. Wu Di decisively said, "Quick, let's go!"
The group immediately split into two paths and darted out. Outside, Li Chonglou, with his face covered, deliberately sent a gust of air past, hitting a rock and creating a huge sound.
This commotion was no less than setting off fireworks in a city at night. Even the villagers ran out to watch.
Such a large commotion naturally attracted the attention of the people in the building.
On the rooftop of the building, the old madman and Old Gao stood with their hands behind their backs.
"What are these rookies doing? Haven't we stopped caring about them?"
Old Gao's brow furrowed slightly.
The old madman beside him said coldly, "We can't let them cause trouble like this. The island nation should not have received the intelligence yet."
"Understood."
Old Gao took out a walkie-talkie and gave some instructions. Then, more than a dozen figures suddenly rushed out from below the building.
Old Gao put down the walkie-talkie and said solemnly, "Let's drive them towards the beach first, or let them see the mine. We need some cannon fodder anyway."
This time, the old madman did not respond, only sighed slightly and murmured, "If people want to die, you can't stop them."
Li Chonglou, hiding in the dark, quietly retreated after seeing people coming out of the building.
Meanwhile.
After Yingmao escaped with a precious artifact, the huge explosion naturally attracted the attention of everyone hiding in the safe house. Xue Shou thought that one of the factions had launched a full-scale attack and rushed out with a group of experts.
However, they encountered Yingmao, who was covered in dirt and exuding killing intent and hatred.
"Old Mao? What happened to you? Whose people are here?"
Yingmao gritted his teeth and said, "It's the General Bureau and the island nation's people! Old Xue, send people to attack the island nation! Their junior colonel who came here was seriously injured!"
The two of them were stunned, not understanding.
Yingmao roughly explained what had happened, but he did not mention that the island nation's people came because there was a mole in their ranks. He only said that he had encountered the island nation's people and the General Bureau fighting.
As for being seriously injured, it was because when he fought with Chen Pingfan, he clearly felt that his strength was not right. He did not seem like a master of the seventh level. The only explanation for him was that Chen Pingfan, no, the junior colonel who Chen Pingfan was impersonating, was seriously injured, hence this situation!
He had originally wanted to cooperate with the island nation. Li Chonglou's move to have Chen Pingfan pursue them had made him completely abandon this idea. Now, he was determined to get revenge!
However, for Xue Shou, this was not only Yingmao's unilateral information but also his personal emotions.
Give him a break, they wouldn't attack the island nation for some junior colonel?
If there was only that one expert over there, they would have already led their men there!
Xue Shou shook his head and said, "Old Mao, calm down first. A full-scale attack is not a small matter. Aren't the lives of so many brothers more important than a foreigner?"
