Abyss Tunnel.
Endless, without any light.
To avoid exposure, they didn’t use flashlights but instead relied on faint glimrs, moving straight along the tunnel.
Li Yan led the team, feeling the tunnel walls as they moved forward.
Having often engaged in outdoor combat, he was quite experienced with this type of tunnel.
It’s unclear how long they walked, but their eyes finally adapted to the darkness.
The sound of ’drip, drip―――’ water drops gradually approached from the front.
"We’ll reach the trade location after walking a bit more..." Tie Ma’s voice was very low, fearing his words would carry far and be overheard by Lie She in the sa place.
He acted like a guilty thief, cautious and wary, projecting a completely careful deanor.
Li Yan acknowledged with a ’hmm’, understanding that they had already reached a considerable depth.
Considering the current situation, they should have reached the trade location, as the tunnel’s geography isn’t extensive, making areas near the exits unsafe.
Because of this, trade locations are generally chosen towards the middle.
"Stop!"
Li Yan keenly caught sight of light ahead, waving his hand to halt all the trainees behind him from proceeding.
Everyone stopped, patiently waiting, easily guessing that the Devil King’s call to halt surely ant he discovered sothing!
...
’Splash, splash―――’
The sound of wading through water receded in the distance.
Everyone could hear it clearly.
Digging tunnels in the mountains, the most troubleso thing is the accumulated water, which over the years had nearly ford a small river.
When the tunnel was first dug, the workers spent considerable effort clearing it.
However―――
What once was a nuisance for the workers has now beco a blessing for Lie She and the Qi Family Drug Lords.
Because the water made noise, during transit they didn’t have to worry about trackers around them; the sound of waterflow provided natural cover, ensuring smooth transactions and avoiding danger.
’Splash, splash―――’
Lie She walked further, carrying a heavy load and holding a flashlight.
...
"Boss, what should we do..." a deputy mutedly asked.
Given the situation, it was easy to alert the enemy, but going along posed another risk: Lie She might escape.
"Caught in a dilemma," truly described monts like this.
"Don’t move!"
Li Yan gestured again, raising his ears to listen closely to the tunnel’s commotion.
Stuck between difficulties, montarily unsure of the action to take.
...
’Splash, splash―――’
From the opposite side of the tunnel, footsteps could be heard.
Dim light traced through the tunnel, illuminating far, nearly revealing Li Yan and his group.
Li Yan’s pupils contracted, signaling the trainees to remain quiet again.
Without needing to think, he knew Qi Family’s contacts had arrived!
"Hahaha, Boss Lie She, you are indeed bold and resourceful. The Provincial City was in such a commotion, yet you managed to escape unscathed, carrying this batch away—quite a remarkable figure!"
Qi Li, a temporary contact appointnt from the Qi family, leisurely stepped out of the darkness, followed by a group of Qi Family henchn, looking quite imposing.
But Lie She wasn’t surprised, knowing that every shipnt was like this with the Qi Family, he was used to it by now.
