South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Time passed little by little, and the group walked further and further away. Every time they walked a distance, Zhong Yuemin and others would sprinkle markers on the road for easy identification.

It took everyone several hours to walk a distance of several kilometers, but this was much closer than taking a detour. After all, they didn't know how big the minefield was or how far the detour would be.

Yuan Mu raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning. He turned around and looked at Zhong Yuemin and his group.

"Yuemin, are you close to your destination?"

"Well, it's probably less than two kilometers!" Zhong Yuemin nodded.

"Okay, now we have passed the minefield, you can walk the rest of the way by yourselves. After all, it is not convenient for me to know your mission, so let's say goodbye here!" Yuan Mu smiled slightly.

Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang looked at each other and nodded.

"Okay, we'll treat you to a drink when I go back to Kyoto to visit my relatives!" Zhong Yuemin stepped forward and held Yuan Mu's hand.

"Brother, I won't say too many polite words. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me and I will definitely do it for you if I can!" Zhang Haiyang also came over and said.

"Yuan Mu! Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, someone among us might have died. I'm not good at talking, but you will be my brother from now on anyway, so just tell me if you have anything to say!" Wu Mantun also came over and spoke.

In fact, he himself knew it best. If Yuan Mu hadn't been there, he would have definitely taken over this time, because he, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang had the highest official positions among them, and the candidate would definitely be among them.

And he certainly wouldn't let Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang go. Just as he said before, he had many brothers and sisters in his family. Even if he died, his parents still had other children.

But Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang are different. If they died, their parents would no longer have children, so it is reasonable for him to go. However, Yuan Mu's appearance saved him from sacrifice. How could he not be grateful?

After all, who wants to die when they can live? Good life has just begun, and he hasn't seen enough of this wonderful world, so he really doesn't want to die, so his gratitude to Yuan Mu rises again.

"Okay, we're all grown men, so I won't say any more. I'll be waiting for you to come back in Kyoto. Remember to look for me, because you owe me a meal." Yuan Mu smiled and patted the three men on the shoulders.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you to a good meal when the time comes!" the three said with laughter.

At this moment, Yuan Mu inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ning Wei on the side, who was looking at him with burning eyes.

"Brother Ning Wei, why are you looking at me like that?"

After hearing Yuan Mu's words, the three of them also looked at Ning Wei.

"Oh! He is like this. This is his admiration for your ability. He was like this in the beginning. In the end, he learned fighting and shooting from me and Haiyang. Now his shooting level is the best in our company."

"He saw that you are a good shooter and have a high level of mine clearance skills, so he wanted to learn from you. It's a pity that you are not in the army!" Zhong Yuemin explained with a smile.

After hearing what Zhong Yuemin said, Ning Wei scratched his head embarrassedly. Seeing him like this, Yuan Mu smiled and then walked over and stretched out his hand to Ning Wei.

"Let's wait for a chance in the future and spar with each other!"

"Ah! Okay, okay!" Seeing this, Ning Wei hurriedly shook hands with Yuan Mu.

"Okay brothers, let's go!" Yuan Mu said, standing at attention and saluting with a serious face.

"Take care!" Zhong Yuemin and others also straightened their faces and stood at attention to return the greeting.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Yuan Mu returned along the same route. When he returned to the original place, Wang Xin and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if nothing happened.

The time is almost up, there are only two days left before the appointment with Director Wan, they have to hurry back.

But before that they had to have a good meal, so Yuan Mu looked at Li Bing and the others.

"Let's get some meat. Everyone's been hungry these past few days. Let's have a good meal and then head back!"

"Okay, no problem!" Li Bing and others smiled and then got up and left.

About half an hour later, Li Bing and his companions came back with wild rabbits, pheasants and other game in their hands. At this time, Wang Xin and others had already lit the fire. After preparing the rabbits and pheasants, they skewered them with wood and started to roast them.

Just when everyone thought the food was going to be tasteless, Yuan Mu took out two small bottles from somewhere and sprinkled some on the hare and roast chicken, and the fragrance immediately came out.

Fortunately, there were sufficient wild animal resources in the surrounding area, otherwise there would not be enough to share among the dozen or so people. They ate with their mouths full of oil. Jia Jinlong and the other two drug dealers also ate some. After all, they were still useful and could not starve to death, right?

It was already noon when they finished their meal. Yuan Mu led everyone back. Although they were still very vigilant on the way, it was much better than before.

Because they were carrying three burdens, they walked even slower than when they came. After rushing for a long time, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Keli Village on the evening of the 4th and dug out the more than 60 AKs that had been buried from the ground again.

The crowd came to a hillside a few kilometers outside of Keli Village, but when they arrived here, they found that the village was very quiet and there was not even a trace of light.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, it seems that there is no one in the village." Li Bing looked down through the telescope and then spoke.

Yuan Mu nodded slowly and thought for a while.

"Li Bing, Luo Yang, Xu Sen, Hao Daniu, the four of you follow me into the village to check out the situation. The rest of you stay put!"

"Yes!"

Soon, four men approached the village slowly with guns in hand, but there was no sound, it was terrifyingly quiet. The four men looked at each other and slowly walked into the village. There were no lights, and the whole village relied on moonlight for illumination.

Soon, Yuan Mu smelled a strong smell of blood, and the next moment, the four of them saw an extremely horrifying scene!

In the open space in the center of the village, there were over a hundred bodies lying in a mess, and the blood had dyed the ground red. They looked down at their feet and saw that the ground was also soaked with blood.

This scene was extremely horrifying. Even those four people who had rolled over from a pile of dead bodies couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs.

Afterwards, the four of them came to the house where they had killed the drug dealers and found that the bodies were gone. This was within Yuan Mu's expectations, because when he killed them, Yuan Mu thought that the bodies would definitely be buried by the surviving drug dealers.

But whose bodies are those in the center of the village?

"Retreat!" Yuan Mu immediately ordered a retreat. The situation here was too strange. They could only wait until tomorrow morning to check the situation again.
