172: In the remote mountains where few people venture.

Xiao Niannian quickly put on her clothes and shoes and ran out of the room.

"Grandma, please take good care of yourself."

Cheng Yu, in the living room, heard Xiao Niannian and said,

"Niannian, you go and do your work, Auntie is here..."

Cheng Yu told Grandma Xiao in the afternoon that she wanted to move in and take care of Grandma Xiao for a few days, but Grandma Xiao refused.

Cheng Yu said that in that case, she would come to cook at their house these days, and Wang Jiang and Wang He would also eat there. Anyway, Grandma Xiao was not allowed to do any work.

Xiao Niannian arrived at the entrance of the Family Courtyard, got into the car, and Lu Jing quickly drove her to the Special Forces Brigade.

"There's an Expert Conference in Yangcheng, and several Experts came to Yangcheng. They were protected, but the people protecting the Experts were killed the night before last, and four Experts are now missing... According to our tracking, we found that the Experts went into these remote mountains..."

When Xiao Niannian arrived at the Special Forces Brigade with Lu Jing, she saw many familiar faces.

The person speaking was Political Commissar Li of the Special Forces Brigade, Lu Jing's leader.

Next to him stood several comrades from the Public Security Bureau, and several Old Comrades dressed in Zhongshan suits.

Xiao Niannian stood at the back of the crowd, listening to the case analysis.

People were taken away, and the comrades protecting the Experts were killed. Now several Experts are missing, taken into the mountains, which is troublesome.

Xiao Niannian had carried out missions around Yangcheng before. Although many places in Guangdong Province were developed then, a small portion of areas still hadn't caught up. And some places were mountainous, with continuous peaks, where ordinary people would get lost if they entered.

They had previously trained in some large forests in Xiang Province and Guizhou Province. After three months, they all looked like wild people.

After the commander of the Special Forces Brigade finished speaking, the comrades from the Public Security Bureau also began to talk about what they knew.

The comrades from State Security also talked about their investigation.

Xiao Niannian wrote down all these words.

So the identities of those people have not yet been fully confirmed, but what is certain is that they are spies from USA, Maozi, White Eagle, and other countries... "Currently, of the four Experts, two are in their fifties or sixties, and the other two are in their forties..."

"comrades from State Security and Public Security have already gone into the mountains to track them. Now, comrades from the Special Forces Brigade are requested to also help rescue them..."

"comrades, these Experts are very important to the country. Please make sure to find the four Experts and rescue them safely..."

"Leaders, please rest assured, we guarantee to complete the mission."

After the leaders finished their meeting, the comrades from State Security and Public Security left.

Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li of the Special Forces Brigade were talking to the Soldiers of the Special Forces Brigade.

"comrades, we are under great pressure. The situation this time is very serious. The country and the people need us. The four Experts are extremely important... You must go into the mountains and do everything you can to bring the Experts out..."

"Captain is right, please make sure to rescue the Experts. Otherwise, a certain aspect of ours will suffer heavy losses, which is not only a national loss... At that time, we will not be able to catch up with other countries... Can you complete the mission?"

"Yes."

Everyone answered loudly.

"Guarantee to complete the mission."

"Good, Lu Jing, you and Qin Yun take the men to get equipment, arrange everything, and depart immediately."

"Yes."

Xiao Niannian followed her comrades-in-arms to collect firearms and supplies.

"comrades, you are carrying fifteen days' worth of supplies. You'd best conserve your supplies and use local resources..."

Instructor Qin was speaking.

Xiao Niannian was also carrying a large backpack at this moment. In her hand was the weapon she used before. In her backpack, besides fifteen days' worth of supplies, there were also some first-aid medicines and a change of clothes... She looked at the others; everyone's backpacks were very large.

"This season, the mountains not only have mosquitoes and insects but also venomous snakes and wild beasts. Everyone must be extra careful. I brought some first-aid medicine this time. If you are bitten by a venomous snake, you must tell me immediately..."

Military Doctor Shen admonished the Soldiers.

"Yes."

Soon, Xiao Niannian and the others rode in military trucks, heading towards their destination.

After getting in the car, Instructor Qin instructed everyone to rest.

Instructor Qin had originally arranged for Xiao Niannian to sit in the driver's cab, but Xiao Niannian refused.

They had been particularly considerate of her these past few times, and she couldn't always be taken care of.

Instructor Qin was about to persuade her, but Lu Jing gave him a look.

After boarding the vehicle, Xiao Niannian sat about a meter from the rear of the compartment. Squad Leader Li sat opposite her.

Lu Jing sat next to Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

After riding for almost a day, she felt the vehicle stop.

Looking outside the car, her eyes were filled with trees, and she could hear birds chirping.

"Get off."

Everyone quickly jumped out of the car.

"Captain Lu, Instructor Qin, this is Uncle Lin, the old hunter from here. He hunted in these mountains many times when he was young..."

Xiao Niannian looked at the uncle in front of her, who was about fifty years old, with dark skin but bright eyes.

"Hello, Uncle Lin."

Hearing everyone greet him, Uncle Lin chuckled and nodded at them.

"Hello, comrades. I'm just a mountain man. It's my honor to guide you..."

Uncle Lin said with a smile again.

"When I was young, I also participated in fighting devils..."

"A few days ago, people in the village did see a group of people. They bought some things in the village and also called two villagers..."

After a few words, Uncle Lin led everyone towards the mountains.

At first, everyone could keep up with Uncle Lin's pace. After walking for two hours, the main group stopped.

During the break, Uncle Lin looked at everyone and praised them with a smile.

"You young people are really good. Back then, at your age, I had to rest after just an hour of walking in the mountains..."

Squad Leader Li and Instructor Qin talked with Uncle Lin.

"In these mountains, what you fear most are not only venomous snakes and insects, but also wild beasts. There are not only tigers, but also wild boars, Black Bears, and wolves..."

Uncle Lin told them about the situation in the mountains.

Most of these Team Members had been on missions in the mountains, but very few had been to such large mountains. The dangers in these mountains were much greater than in ordinary deep mountains... After walking for a day, as dusk approached, Xiao Niannian and her comrades-in-arms found an excellent spot to set up camp.

Along the way, Xiao Niannian heard the calls of many animals.

There were dozens of different animals.

However, they were all small animals. Uncle Lin said that larger animals could only be seen deeper in the mountains.

Not far from this spot was a small stream. Seeing this, Xiao Niannian heard Instructor Qin arrange for someone to catch fish. She spoke up.

"Instructor Qin, I request to go catch fish."
