After thinking over and over, Lin Yi couldn’t figure it out.
He could only act according to the plan.
"First, gather information and make sure to cover everything. Don’t miss any details."
"Got it."
The process of gathering evidence lasted for more than half an hour, Xiao Bing complained that even taking selfies doesn’t take this long.
"You all step back, Luo Qi, let’s get it out."
With the information gathering completed, Lin Yi called Luo Qi forward, and bit by bit, they moved the mummy out.
The body was unusually well-preserved, and one could even see the outline of facial features.
"Amazing."
Luo Qi held the flashlight over the mummy.
"With the technology nowadays, it’s difficult to preserve sothing so completely, yet they managed it—simply unimaginable."
"All secrets might be on that skin, or it would have weathered away long ago," Lin Yi said.
"But now the problem is how to bring it back intact," Ning Che said.
"Get the people outside to make a stretcher and carry it back."
Ning Che took his communicator and sent information to the third group.
This was all they could do for now. Whether they could bring it back intact depended on luck.
With tasks assigned, the remaining people continued to search inside.
But after searching for more than half an hour again, they found nothing.
Faced with this situation, Lin Yi and Ning Che discussed briefly and decided to head back.
The people from the third group lowered down the makeshift stretcher they had prepared, but due to limited conditions, it was very rough.
Lin Yi glanced at the people from the 633 Special Service Team.
"Take off their clothes, cushion them beneath the mummy, and cover it with that skin. Once it’s secured, we can move."
"Understood."
Group one’s mbers all shared Lin Yi’s character; at critical monts, they wouldn’t be picky. Regardless of gender, they took off their clothes to make the stretcher as soft as possible.
Though the workload wasn’t big, they were busy for nearly an hour.
The third group stood above, slowly pulling the stretcher up.
Then mbers of group one and group three climbed up one by one, with Lin Yi bringing up the rear as the last one to ascend.
"Lin Bro, should we leave this place as it is or destroy it?"
"All useful things have been taken, and the walls don’t have any recorded information. Even if others co, they won’t find anything new, just let it be."
Lin Yi stretched his limbs and called out, "Brothers and sisters, ti to go ho. Let’s move."
"Let’s go."
Carrying the mummy’s body, the group returned the way they ca.
Lin Yi looked at Xiao Bing, "ssage Boss Liu to have group two and group four get ready to co over."
"Got it."
Lin Yi remained silent for a mont, pondering for quite a while.
"Also, have Boss Liu arrange so ard forces."
"Hm?" Ning Che was taken aback, "You an sending a ship over?"
"Yes."
"This might be difficult; it involves two departnts, requires application, and needs reasonable justification."
"People from the 633 Special Service Team encountered us. They will definitely report it to Kidd. With his ability, he will surely figure things out. We need to be prepared."
"This reason is plausible. With the old man around, it shouldn’t be hard."
"Try not to bother the old man. Talking to my father-in-law instead might work."
"Understood."
Following Lin Yi’s instructions, Ning Che arranged the tasks.
For Lin Yi, the current mission was to protect the mummy. Its research value might be greater than imagined, and it couldn’t afford any mishaps.
The way back was relatively easier; it took about five days to reach the big river.
Among these people, Lin Yi and Ning Che were the strongest, taking responsibility for carrying the mummy across, the whole process without danger.
Once across the river, they officially entered the middle section of Tilia Island, where the danger significantly reduced.
Along the way, they encountered two groups, discovered to be from the Central Guards Brigade, filled with vigilance in their eyes.
Upon seeing the stretcher, they showed little hostility.
In their eyes, what was being carried might be the body of a companion, not sothing taken from the ruins.
"Lin Bro, previously encountered White Bear Organization, they were targeting us. Should we deal with them?" Shao Jianfeng asked.
"No need to bother with them. We follow the original path back, no need to pay them any attention."
For Lin Yi, the task at hand was the most important.
Provocations from so insignificant people were not worth worrying about as it would only waste energy.
If they initiated provocation, it wouldn’t be too late to deal with them, but overall, they shouldn’t let these people divert their focus.
Another week passed, and the group arrived at the Tiyama River.
Once crossing this river, and walking through the passage beneath, they could return to camp tonight.
The group crossed the river orderly, without any difficulty, though they needed to be careful when handling the mummy.
Following the route in their mory, they headed towards the passage.
Just at this mont, everyone beca alert, cautiously observing their surroundings.
The passage in Kandaya Forest was a significant advantage held by the Central Guards Brigade and mustn’t be discovered by anyone.
People from both groups stayed vigilant in every direction, ensuring nothing unexpected happened at this stage.
"Sothing’s wrong! There’s movent!"
Ning Che’s whisper made everyone stop.
"Three o’clock direction!"
Xiao Bing exclaid, and everyone looked toward the three o’clock direction.
But before they could act, the shadow in the three o’clock direction swiftly ran away, giving no chance for the Central Guards Brigade to advance.
mbers of the Central Guards Brigade exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
Normally, everyone on the island does their own thing without much enmity, even greeting each other is normal, after all, many organizations co here for profit, not for conflict.
Yet, at first sight, the person ran away—this situation was very rare.
"Sister Ning, should we wait a mont before moving forward? We’re close to the passage, I think we need to conceal it, do an eye-blocking technique," Ma Tongliang suggested.
"Alright."
Lin Yi had no objections to Ning Che’s plan.
Having been on the island many tis, it was the first ti encountering sothing like this, and caution was prudent.
Ning Che quickly devised a new route, leading both groups in another direction.
About another hour passed, and Lin Yi suddenly halted.
Seeing him stop, everyone dared not move further.
Just then, everyone realized sothing was wrong; a sound ca from nearby, and four people in camouflage, upon discovering them, quickly fled.
