It was uncertain if there was a deep pool beneath that mountain peak, but standing here, it was indeed impossible to see clearly.
At this mont, for so unknown reason, the clouds above the sky were much thicker than when they first arrived. Large clusters gathered, giving Gu Qiaoqiao a sense of watching the clouds rise and fall from her vantage point.
The area at the peak was quite large, enough to keep everyone entertained for the entire afternoon.
On the mountainside, there were also plenty of interesting spots to explore. However, today, their goal was to reach the top. Tomorrow, they planned to loop around the nearby areas, and then head back in the afternoon. That was the itinerary for their spring outing.
Gu Qiaoqiao stared blankly at the mountain peak in front of her. Even though she had figured things out in her mind, a sliver of unease lingered deep within her heart. Sotis, coincidences happening without any apparent reason could be unsettling, especially when they involved her.
anwhile, in the depths of the prairie.
The grass here was over a person’s height, resembling those described in textbooks, with a sense of vastness and wilderness. In the distance lay the forest, where a highly confidential experint was taking place.
Qin Yize was the chief commander of this experint. However, this was not the main battleground. A similar experint was simultaneously conducted elsewhere. Qin Yize’s current tasks were markedly polarized, both literary and martial.
On one hand, he was the captain of Task Force One, responsible for nurous military tasks deed inconvenient for regular execution, effectively making it a support departnt. Due to specific reasons, this team was publicly recognized as a dical team, providing humanitarian aid to remote, even international areas in need.
Within, however, it was a sharp sword.
Assisting the military in accomplishing nurous tasks.
This instance was no different.
Nevertheless, Qin Yize knew he would soon disappear from Task Force One.
His future battleground would be the base headquarters and the Qin Family.
Regarding the Qin Family business, Qin Yize had his own plans.
The old master granted him great freedom, not interfering in any of his choices.
At the base headquarters, he led dical biochemistry and electronic technology developnt research, with his very own laboratory.
Once he left Task Force One, he intended to focus his energy on these two research areas.
The command center had long since arranged everything, and the experint reached a critical juncture, keeping everyone serious and focused.
Yet, for so reason, an inexplicable unease surfaced in Qin Yize’s heart. The Wolf’s Fang still hung loosely around his neck. Depending on his movents, it sotis brushed against his skin, sotis hung suspended at the edge of his shirt.
But each touch transmitted that uneasy sensation...
He couldn’t figure out why this was happening.
Qin Yize stepped outside the tent, holding a telescope, scanning around. Everything proceeded according to their original plan, without a single slip-up, even surpassing expectations.
So, where did this unease originate from?
Qin Yize frowned, forcing himself not to think of Gu Qiaoqiao far away in the Imperial Capital or consider the potential occurrences.
Because even if he knew, there was nothing he could do from thousands of miles away.
Fortunately, the unease was minor, almost negligible.
For the first ti in his life, Qin Yize severed his train of thought and returned to the tent, dedicating himself entirely to this smoke-free battle.
Soon enough, the sun hung low in the western sky.
They couldn’t wait until darkness to descend the mountain since dinner preparations awaited, not to ntion the many evening activities.
So, following Chu Chengfeng’s lead, the group jovially descended the mountain.
So often said it was easier to ascend than descend, but since the slope wasn’t steep, descending proved much easier.
At this ti, it was four in the afternoon. Chu Chengfeng, along with Du Tian, Ling Nan, and several other boys, happily headed to the stream to fish.
