Chapter 989: Chapter 582: Expanding the Scope (Two Chapters bined)_2 Chapter 989: Chapter 582: Expanding the Scope (Two Chapters bined)_2 Weiwei’s eyes widened as she nodded vigorously.
Only then did Qin Yuan let go of her hand.
His gaze then shifted to the entrance of the Daybreak’s position ahead.
He saw two people patrolling towards their direction.
The distance to Qin Yuan and his group was only a few steps away.
Both Qin Yuan and Weiwei covered their mouths on the spot, making no sound at all.
The opponents had already approached the bush in front of them.
Several soldiers armed with gleaming rifles suddenly walked past them.
The hearts of Qin Yuan and Weiwei were in their throats.
Weiwei’s expression was extremely frightened, it being her first time experiencing such a scene. Her eyes were wide open, and Qin Yuan had to cover her mouth with his hand.
Fortunately, the soldiers did not notice the two in the bushes, and merely walked the routine path outside before leaving.
Qin Yuan and Weiwei both breathed a sigh of relief.
“Phew, good thing they’re dumb and didn’t notice us.”
Weiwei gasped.
Qin Yuan, however, was pletely unaffected, still looking calm and posed.
“Captain Qin Yuan, is your mental state always this good?”
Weiwei looked at Qin Yuan with amazement.
“I have seen scenes ten times more dangerous than this.”
Qin Yuan said coldly.
“There are five or six people just guarding the gate here; how are we going to get in?”
Weiwei looked doubtful.
Qin Yuan smiled, patting the top of her head.
“Didn’t you e here without preparing accordingly?”
“I… I adapt to the constant changes!”
Weiwei pouted.
Qin Yuan still had a light smile on his face.
“You really do resemble your dad.”
“Alright, we don’t have time to discuss tactics now. Although they are numerous, they are somewhat affected by the battle ahead.”
“Now is our best chance to infiltrate.”
“So, are we just going to go in? Just barge in?”
Weiwei asked.
“Unless you want to walk into a trap.”
Qin Yuan replied.
“Just follow me, and I guarantee you’ll get back safely.”
“Oh!”
Without waiting for Weiwei to respond, Qin Yuan suddenly stood up, took out the prepared hypnotic needles, and with extreme speed, stood up, aimed at the people at the gate, and made a series of rapid, precise throws!
The opponents hadn’t even reacted before they were hit by the needles and instantly fell down.
Weiwei, watching Qin Yuan’s agile actions, couldn’t help but exclaim softly.
“That’s amazing!”
Qin Yuan had no time to respond to her, instead he continued in a deep voice:
“e on, let’s go in now!”
After making sure there were no other Daybreak soldiers watching nearby.
Speaking, without waiting for Weiwei to respond, he took her hand and sprinted towards the entrance.
In just a few seconds, they had reached the doorway.
This was a wooden door, no bigger than the size of a person, and a closer look revealed that it was somewhat decayed.
It seemed very old and didn’t appear to be frequently used.
Qin Yuan peered inside through the cracked wooden door.
It was pitch black and he saw nothing.
At this moment, Qin Yuan grew suspicious. According to Lu Ming’s description, this should have been a heavily guarded place. Why were the lights off and so quiet?
“Wasn’t this place supposed to be heavily guarded? Why do I see no trace of it inside, and why is it pitch black?”
Qin Yuan wondered.
Weiwei looked bewildered, and then leaned forward to peek inside.
Her face then showed a very puzzled look.
“I saw bright lights inside before! Why is it so quiet now?”
Weiwei furrowed her brows.
“Could it be that our actions have been discovered?”
“No, there is still something going on!”
At this time, Qin Yuan squinted his eyes and continued:
“Even though there are no sounds and no lights, I can still hear some faint movements of air.”
Qin Yuan’s voice was very low, but as steady as a rock.
“Ah? So what do we do now? Do we just go in?”
Weiwei asked.
Qin Yuan listened carefully to the sound inside again.
After confirming he hadn’t heard wrong,
“There must be a secret chamber inside. But there’s no one on the first floor.”
“What I’m wondering now is where all their people have gone.”
“Exactly, it’s really odd. We just saw a lot of patrolling people around here, and now they’ve suddenly disappeared. It’s really weird.”
Weiwei said, puzzled.
“I don’t know, but all we can do now is follow this clue inside and search.”
The urge to explore is very strong in people; even though the environment here is quite sinister, it did not hinder the expansion of Weiwei’s intense desire to explore.
“Stick close to me, remember, no matter what happens, don’t act rashly or make noise, stay calm.”
“Mmm, okay.”
Afterward, the two passed through the old wooden door and entered the room inside.
As they had expected, it was pletely empty, and a strong smell of decay wafted in from inside.
“Ah! It stinks!”
Just after entering, Weiwei plained in a low voice, covering her nose.
“Shh! Don’t talk.”
Although it was pitch dark inside, Qin Yuan could still distinguish the rough layout of objects from their vague contours.
There were several square garbage disposal bins inside, and the pungent smell was ing from within them.
Qin Yuan listened attentively to the sounds nearby.
Trying to determine where the wind sound was ing from.
This place was quite far from the battlefield ahead and wasn’t affected by any noise interference.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
A seemingly ethereal breeze slowly reached his ears.
Qin Yuan’s expression was solemn as he seriously discerned the direction of the sound.
He slowly moved his steps and after a few minutes, he arrived near a bin by the wall.
Qin Yuan was sure, the sound of the wind was ing from here.
“Did you find it?”
Weiwei followed him and asked.
“Mmm, it should be right around here.”
After confirming, Qin Yuan took out a flashlight from his body, turned it on, and looked around closely.
The ground here was a large garbage bin and the surroundings were stone walls and floors; initially, no hidden passages or the like were discovered.
“Strange, is it here?”
Weiwei wondered.
“I’m sure, they love to play this trick of hiding gold in secret chambers, and I’ve found secret passages in such places several times before.”
“If there’s a wind sound ing from here, there must be traces to follow.”
Qin Yuan said with certainty.
“Could it be behind the stones?”
“Usually it is, but we must find the corresponding switch.”
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
Weiwei nodded thoughtfully.
She began to look around for something resembling a switch.
“Don’t overlook any stone slab, check each one, the mechanism could well be hidden inside.”
Qin Yuan wasn’t idle either; the two divided the work and cooperatively, each taking a section, they began a systematic search.
They searched for a while, and several minutes passed, but still without any findings.
Qin Yuan also started to wonder, previously it didn’t take much time following this method, but now it’s two people searching together, and after five minutes there’s still no result.
This made Qin Yuan a bit perplexed.
Could the switch not be nearby?
They had searched this area within a few meters radius, not missing any inch, but without any success.
“Let’s expand the search area.”
Qin Yuan said to Weiwei.
“Okay.”
Then, for quite a while, the two carefully searched the small house of a few dozen square meters, again without any findings.
“This is odd.”
The two returned to the starting point and began to exchange information they had gathered.
“Have you checked every piece here?”
Qin Yuan confirmed again.
“Yes! Every place has been searched, except the stuff inside the garbage bin!”
Weiwei said anxiously.
Qin Yuan frowned and pondered.
Since the garbage bin was separate from the building and the switch couldn’t be inside it, and since every inch inside the house had been searched,
the remaining possibility must be outside this room.
