After killing the people, Jiang Jiyuan and his men boarded the drone without hesitation and flew straight out of the city.

They did not contact Jiang Wenming, and guessed that his phone number was put back in the space, so they chose to drive on the main road.

The car sped along the wide road, and the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

Everyone in the car stared out the window, not daring to relax even a little.

Chen Meng, who had been observing the traffic, suddenly shouted in surprise, "What's going on? Are the three of them running so fast?"

Xiao Wei also focused his attention out the car window and echoed, "Do you think they can drive? My uncle can drive."

At this moment, Jiang Jiyuan suddenly turned off the car lights, and the car was plunged into darkness.

Then he ordered in a low voice: "Get out of the car, there's a car coming up ahead."

Zhang An and others reacted quickly, opened the car door without hesitation, and jumped out of the car nimbly.

Jiang Jiyuan quickly parked the car and followed them into a small ditch on the side of the road.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon they saw military trucks roaring past them.

Zhang An nervously took out his binoculars and stared at the trucks moving away, muttering to himself, "What's going on? Are these devils going to the county town over there?"

His brows were tightly furrowed, his heart full of doubts. Could it be that their actions tonight would harm the entire county?

Chen Meng stood where he was, staring at the direction the vehicle was leaving until it completely disappeared from his sight.

He quickly ran to the road, squatted down and carefully examined the tracks left by the tires, and felt the road surface with his hands for a while.

"Hmm..." Chen Meng muttered to himself as he observed the tire tracks. "These tire tracks look strange. The person in the car shouldn't be a human. It looks like iron filings or something like that."

When Zhang An heard what Chen Meng said, he hurried over, took the soil from him and twirled it in his hand.

"Iron filings?" Zhang An frowned in confusion. "Is this iron ore or waste?"

At this time, Jiang Jiyuan and others also came over. After hearing their conversation, they all showed curious expressions.

Zhang An suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "Do you think this could be related to that weapons research base?"

His words caused a moment of silence among the crowd, and everyone began to think about this possibility.

After a while, Chen Meng broke the silence and asked, "Then do we need to follow?"

Zhang An looked at the roads ahead and behind him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm still more worried about Xiaoyun and the others. I don't know what kind of physical condition that child has, but he's prone to getting into trouble."

Jiang Jiyuan nodded, agreeing with Zhang An's opinion. He said, "Let's continue chasing after my uncle and the others. Let General Lu and the others handle the weapons research lab. We have more important things to do."

At this moment, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming were huddled behind a big tree. They looked at each other with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

Peng Yongyan, who was standing next to him, was looking ahead vigilantly, where a group of Japanese soldiers holding torches were approaching step by step.

"Didn't that fellow villager say that the Japanese didn't know about this path?" Jiang Wenming widened his eyes and looked at Peng Yongyan with suspicion.

His tone was filled with resentment. "But why do I feel like we're walking into a trap?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Peng Yongyan's face and he scratched his head.

He explained somewhat helplessly: "I don't know either. Those fellow villagers did tell me so."

Jiang Jiyun did not say much about Peng Yongyan. Her attention was completely attracted by the Japanese soldiers who were marching quickly, holding torches and carrying things on their backs.

She carefully observed the movements of these devils and found that although their steps were hurried, they seemed very orderly and their speed was quite fast. They did not look like they were completely unfamiliar with this road.

"Look," Jiang Jiyun pointed at the devils and said softly, "their speed doesn't seem like they don't know this road. If you don't know, you might think they are pretending not to know and trying to lure us into a trap. How about we follow them and see?"

After hearing Jiang Jiyun's words, Jiang Wenming and Peng Yongyan looked at her at the same time.

Jiang Jiyun saw a hint of doubt and disapproval in their eyes.

Peng Yongyan observed carefully for a while, then frowned and said, "The direction they are going doesn't seem to be the path leading to Changde. It seems that they are going to another place."

Jiang Jiyun felt uneasy upon hearing this. He quickly said, "Are they planning to massacre another village in the mountains? We absolutely cannot stand by and watch innocent people being murdered!"

Jiang Wenming sighed helplessly and said, "Then let's quietly follow and see what's going on. If nothing happens, we'll quietly leave."

"Your brother and the others are probably rescuing people right now. We have to hurry back to meet them."

Jiang Jiyun looked at the team that was moving further and further away, and came out from behind the big tree without hesitation. She held her uncle's hand tightly and trotted to catch up with them.

Peng Yongyan could only helplessly follow the two people in front of him. He hesitated whether to contact Jiang Jiyuan and the others.

After a long time, Jiang Jiyun finally stopped, panting. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! Why are there so many stone steps here? This can't be formed naturally, right?"

Peng Yongyan was also very surprised. He looked up towards the top of the mountain.

After looking at it for a while, he said, "There seems to be a temple up there. Could it be that the devil's target is there?"

Jiang Wenming took out a telescope and looked up. Before he could say anything, Jiang Jiyun pulled them away and hid.

"Be careful, there is someone on guard in the dark." Jiang Jiyun saw a small red dot flashing in the woods again, which looked like someone was smoking.

Fortunately, the three of them did not use flashlights, and Jiang Jiyun continued to carefully observe the woods on both sides of the road with night vision goggles.

After watching for a while, Jiang Jiyun exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh my god, there are so many sparrows in this forest. This temple looks very important to them!"

Jiang Wenming and Peng Yongyan also saw a lot of hidden people. Jiang Wenming asked in confusion, "With such strict security measures, how did those people escape and deliver the message?"

"Is it possible that there is a secret passage nearby that leads directly up there?" Jiang Jiyun muttered softly.

"How can we find a secret passage in such a large area?" Jiang Wenming answered unconfidently as he looked at the vast mountains around him.

After he said that, he felt a stone prickling his feet where he was squatting, so he moved a few steps inside.

Suddenly, he lost his balance and subconsciously grabbed Jiang Jiyun, who was still sneaking around and watching the Japanese soldiers on guard.

Peng Yongyan looked at it for a while and asked, "Uncle, Xiaoyun, what do you think we should do next?"

After waiting for a while and hearing no answer, he looked around but didn't see the big and the small.
