Legacy: Miracle
Chapter 286: Cooperation Attempts and Crisis
"Captain Yun Yi, I believe our cooperation will be a win-win situation." The visitor's voice was deep and magnetic, yet it could hardly conceal the calculation within. "I have some key information that may help you find the core of the mineral vein more quickly."
Yun Yi frowned slightly, gazing at the other person with a penetrating gaze, his heart filled with wariness. However, considering that the expedition truly needed more clues to advance, he ultimately nodded and decided to give this collaboration a chance. "Okay, but we must clearly define the rules of this collaboration. Any attempt at betrayal or concealment will result in the termination of this collaboration."
The visitor nodded slightly, seemingly unconcerned with Yun Yi's warning. "Of course, integrity is the foundation of cooperation. So, let's start by sharing the information we each hold."
As the cooperation deepened, the coordination between the expedition team and the visitor seemed to be getting better. However, Yun Yi remained vigilant, as he always felt that the visitor's actions were hiding a hidden secret.
Late one night, when most people were already asleep, Yun Yi quietly rose and journeyed alone through the intricate tunnels of the mine. His intuition told him that the visitor would make a move tonight. Sure enough, at a hidden intersection, Yun Yi spotted the visitor's furtive figure, using a strange tool to attempt to break through a seemingly ordinary stone wall.
"What are you doing?" Yun Yi's voice echoed in the empty mine tunnel with unquestionable majesty.
The visitor turned abruptly, a flash of panic in his eyes, but he quickly composed himself. "I'm just... studying the runes on this stone wall. Maybe I can find a shortcut to the core of the mineral vein."
Yun Yi slowly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the visitor. "Studying runes? Why not share your findings with us? Or do you have other plans?"
The visitor avoided Yun Yi's gaze and hesitated. "I... I'm just worried about misleading everyone. After all, these runes are very complicated."
"Enough!" Yun Yi interrupted the visitor, his tone filled with disappointment and anger. "The foundation of cooperation is trust and honesty, but you chose to conceal it. Tell me, what is your real purpose?"
Faced with Yun Yi's questioning, the visitor finally dropped his disguise, a sneer curling his lips. "Hmph, since you've discovered it, I won't hide it. This vein contains a rare treasure, and I want to obtain it. You are just pawns in my plan."
Yun Yi's eyes instantly turned fierce when he heard this. "How dare you use us! Don't forget, this is our territory. Do you think you can succeed so easily?"
At this moment, Arya, Kevin, Feng Wuhen and other members of the expedition team rushed over after hearing the noise. They quickly stood behind Yun Yi and formed an indestructible line.
"Yun Yi is right. We are a team. We will not sit idly by and watch any behavior that attempts to harm the interests of the team." Arya's voice was firm and powerful, and her eyes flashed with trust and support for Yun Yi.
Kevin clenched his fists and glared at the visitor. "You liar, we still considered you a partner! Now, you better tell the truth, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Although Feng Wuhen didn't say anything, his cold gaze seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, making the visitor shiver.
Faced with the expedition team's united efforts, the visitor's expression grew increasingly grim. "Hmph, don't think you can trap me like this. Since I dared to come, I must be able to leave." With that, he turned to flee, only to find himself surrounded by Yun Yi and the others.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Yun Yi flashed and instantly appeared in front of the visitor, blocking his way.
A fierce contest ensued, and although the visitor was quite skilled, he was quickly defeated by the combined efforts of the expedition team. In the end, he was subdued and captured.
"Tell me, who is behind you? What is their purpose?" Yun Yi squatted down and looked at the visitor coldly.
The visitor gasped, a flicker of despair in his eyes. "I... I'm just following orders. I don't know the specific plan. But I can tell you that the treasure within this vein is beyond your imagination. It has the power to change the world."
Yun Yi was shocked upon hearing this. The power to change the world? What kind of treasure was this? Why did it attract so much covetousness?
Just as he was lost in thought, Arya's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Yun Yi, what should we do? Should we continue to explore deeper, or..."
Yun Yi raised his head, his gaze determined. "No matter what awaits us, the expedition's mission remains unchanged. We must uncover the secrets of the mineral vein while also protecting it from being exploited by evil forces. As for this visitor, leave him to Feng Wuhen. I believe he will render a fair judgment."
Feng Wuhen nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted the task. Kevin patted Yun Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "With you here, we are not afraid of anything!"
Yun Yi smiled, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that it was because of these companions who fought side by side with him that he could face any challenge without fear and move forward courageously.
With the visitor captured, the atmosphere of the expedition team, though slightly tense, was filled with anticipation and determination for the future. They knew that the real test was yet to come, but as long as the team worked together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.
