The three Z Organization members passed the rocks where we were hiding. Fatty, like a nimble fat monkey, leaped from behind the rocks and pounced on the burliest man on the left, pinning him to the ground. Dodge followed closely, circling to the side of the man in the middle, tripping him forcefully to the ground and locking him in a cross armlock, immobilizing him. Jennifer, lacking the strength to control a grown man heavier than herself, followed Fatty's instructions and, catching the man on the right off guard, delivered a fierce blow to his right cheek, knocking him unconscious and sending him crashing to the ground.

Fatty, Dodge, and Jennifer acted almost simultaneously. The three Z Organization members hadn't even had time to react before two were instantly subdued and one knocked out.

I watched Fatty and Dodge expertly tie up the three men, thinking I wouldn't even need to lift a finger. Fatty and the others were reliable after all.

The man Fatty had trussed up was Chinese, with a scarred face. He was in his early thirties, with a scar that ran from the corner of his eyebrow to his hairline, making him look like a ruthless villain.

When Scarface saw that there were Chinese people among us, he thought he had found a savior, and his attitude changed immediately. The expression of gnashing teeth vanished in an instant.

He put on a mournful face and pleaded with us in a cowardly manner: "Oh, heroes of the greenwood, we're newcomers and don't know whose territory we've stumbled into. Please, be merciful and give us a way out."

While Scarface was begging for mercy, I observed the man next to him, the one Dodge had tied up. He looked much younger and more naive, a young man in his early twenties. He was silent, staring intently at us, his eyes full of unease.

As for the unconscious man, he was also Chinese and had multiple healed knife wounds on his body. He, like Scarface, seemed to be someone who made a living "taking money to solve problems for others."

Fatty kept an eye on them while helping Dodge search their bodies.

Meanwhile, Zoe, Jennifer, and I rummaged through their travel bags, trying to find something useful.

Fatty said to Scarface, "Wow, you're even more eloquent than me. Why don't you introduce yourself?"

"Hero, hero!" Scarface flattered him with a sneaky smile, obsequiously saying to Fatty, "We three brothers are explorers, who like to adventure everywhere. We wanted to challenge Kunlun, but we got lost in the Kunlun Mountains and accidentally trespassed on your precious territory. Sorry for the disturbance. Please, let us go like you're just letting out a fart."

Scarface chuckled, trying to put on a harmless appearance, his eyes darting back and forth between us, seemingly trying to win our trust.

Zoe, Jennifer, and I found some American military rations, high-intensity flashlights, daggers, folding shovels, and other wilderness survival tools in their bags. These items didn't prove anything, but rather confirmed that they were explorers. At first glance, they did seem like explorers.

But strangely, they each had a very strange piece of clothing in their bags. The material felt like some kind of insulated plastic, but the shape looked like some kind of protective suit.

Fatty and Dodge found three standard-issue pistols and several bullets on the three men.

We put the items we found in front of Scarface and the young man next to him.

Scarface's expression didn't change.

But the young man seemed a little restless. Sweat started to bead on his forehead.

"Oh, this brother's body is not so good, how is it that you are having night sweats?"

Fatty teased the silent young man, seemingly trying to find a breakthrough through him.

"Uh..." The young man couldn't stand the pressure and gasped nervously.

Scarface glanced at the young man, a hint of murderous intent, lasting less than a second, shooting out of his eyes and straight into the young man's timid eyes. The young man was frightened.

But as soon as Scarface turned to look at us, that hint of murderous intent vanished instantly, and his face returned to its flattering smile.

From this action, it was clear that this Scarface was not simple.

The young man was so intimidated by Scarface that he seemed to have lost his soul, becoming silent. His eyelids drooped, and his face turned pale and then green.
