632: The original hiding place exploded.
Xiao Niannian immediately took action and knocked Ji Lin unconscious.
If he kept talking nonsense, none of them would be able to leave.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Tao looked furiously at Xiao Niannian after seeing her husband knocked out.
"We need him to calm down. Now we are taking you away." Xiao Niannian looked at Xiao Tao with a serious expression. "If you don't leave now, you will die here after dawn."
What?
How is that possible?
The other five people looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise.
"Because someone left a mark outside. As soon as they search here, you will definitely be found."
When Xiao Niannian walked over, she saw a five-pointed star mark painted on the stone tablet.
She had just washed the mark away.
Who made the mark?
"There was a five-pointed star mark on the stone tablet outside. I just cleaned it off."
Upon hearing about the mark, Xiao Tao's expression changed drastically.
She had seen this mark outside before, but she thought she remembered incorrectly. When they escaped inside that night, she hadn't seen it then.
But a few days ago, she saw the mark and asked her husband about it.
Her husband said it might have been a mark left by the descendants of that family for future worship.
Who was it?
Could it be Comrade Tang?
Yes, it must be Comrade Tang. Her husband couldn't possibly do such a thing.
"Maybe Comrade Tang did it. He just threatened us, saying he was going to report us..."
Hearing comrade Xiao Tao's words, Xiao Niannian knew that comrade Xiao Tao wouldn't believe what they said unless they presented evidence.
"We must leave quickly now."
Xiao Niannian stepped forward, helped Mrs. Wu up, and walked toward the exit.
comrade Xiao Tao heard this, saw Xiao Niannian helping Aunt Wu walk outside, and stomped her foot in anger. Seeing her husband still unconscious, she was extremely worried.
"I'll carry him."
He Rui took Ji Lin from comrade Xiao Tao and immediately hoisted him onto his back.
Seeing this, Comrade Tao and Comrade Wu said nothing more and walked outside with the support of the Team Members.
Soon, they reached the surface.
Xiao Niannian immediately carried Mrs. Wu on her back.
"Little comrade, put me down, I can walk," Mrs. Wu quickly said.
"Let me carry you. I have the strength," Xiao Niannian said, carrying Mrs. Wu and walking forward.
"I'll lead the way. Follow me."
Xiao Niannian said to the Team Members.
Comrade Tao heard this and saw these people carrying his father, Comrade Wu, Aunt Wu, and her husband forward, while she followed beside her husband.
Lu Jing walked at the rear, slightly dealing with some of the traces left behind.
With Xiao Niannian's current physical strength, carrying Mrs. Wu was effortless.
After walking for about twenty minutes, they reached the mountains.
As soon as they reached the mountains, Xiao Niannian put Mrs. Wu down and took a can of food from her pocket to give her.
"Aunt, please eat something."
Mrs. Wu hadn't expected this comrade to give her a can of food; it was incredibly precious at a time like this.
"I can't accept this. You should eat it yourself. You exerted so much strength carrying me just now."
Although she was very hungry, Mrs. Wu still felt that the Soldier comrade needed to eat more to maintain her strength.
It didn't matter if people their age went hungry for a bit.
Lu Jing had already taken out the hidden radio and was contacting Instructor Qin and the others.
"cave one calling."
"Received."
"Comrade Wu, Comrade Tao... and six others have been found. They all have injuries... We are currently moving them into the mountains... Requesting backup..."
"Received. We are rushing over now..."
The town wasn't big, and Instructor Qin and his team were only a few hours away.
Lu Jing and the other Team Members also took out the food hidden there and handed it to the rescued personnel.
"Please eat something first. We only have stir-fried noodles, stir-fried rice noodles, and cans of food. Fill your stomachs first. Once we connect with the main Military Unit, we'll have them prepare more food for you."
"Thank you."
Comrade Tao and Comrade Wu immediately expressed their gratitude.
"Thank you."
The others also thanked them.
Ji Lin woke up at this moment. It was already four or five in the morning.
He looked at the surrounding environment and the people around him, startled.
What happened to him? It seemed like he suddenly lost consciousness.
"Where is this? What are you trying to do?"
Ji Lin shouted loudly.
Xiao Niannian narrowed her eyes upon seeing his behavior. She immediately hit him again.
Ji Lin was knocked out again.
comrade Xiao Tao saw this scene, felt distressed for her husband, and immediately glared angrily at Xiao Niannian.
"What are you doing?"
"He's too noisy."
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, comrade Xiao Tao supported her husband and said angrily.
"Treating my husband like this, I will report you."
Xiao Niannian stated directly.
"I suspect your husband is problematic. He didn't want us to leave that place before, and now he's shouting loudly."
"You're talking nonsense! Stop slandering my husband. If he had problems, he wouldn't have accompanied me back to the country. He certainly wouldn't have endured so much hardship along the way..."
Hearing Xiao Niannian suspect her husband, comrade Xiao Tao's face was filled with fury, feeling that her husband was being wronged.
He risked his life to return and serve the motherland, yet this person was still suspicious of him.
"Why did those foreigners know all your movements along the way? It's because there was a mole among you."
Xiao Niannian looked at comrade Xiao Tao and saw her expression change.
She continued.
"Whether he is a mole or not will be investigated soon."
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, comrade Xiao Tao continued to defend him.
"Impossible."
As soon as she finished speaking, an explosion sounded in the distance.
"Boom."
"Boom, boom, bang."
Various explosions rang out.
comrade Xiao Tao looked over there. Wasn't the place where the explosion occurred the very place they had been staying for the past few days?
From a distance, they could also see fire rising there.
"Did the cemetery explode?"
Comrade Tao and Comrade Wu heard the explosion and both looked into the distance.
Lu Jing handed over the binoculars.
Xiao Niannian also handed over the binoculars.
"Did our original hiding place explode?"
After taking them, they looked carefully and confirmed that it was indeed the place they had just left.
"When we retreated just now, we placed some landmines inside. If they pursue us and step on them, it will trigger the landmines..."
What?
comrade Xiao Tao looked at Xiao Niannian in shock upon hearing this.
Didn't Xiao Niannian just carry Aunt Wu on her back? There were only five or six of them in total. How did they manage to plant landmines there in such a short amount of time?
Moreover, their backpacks weren't large when they arrived.
The capabilities of these people exceeded her imagination.
Comrade Tao and Comrade Wu both looked at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian.
"Thank you. If you hadn't brought us out in time, we definitely would have been captured by those people." In his heart, Comrade Tao also began to feel suspicious of his son-in-law.
