Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

As Su Li helped set up the telescope, she played with the jade compass in her hand. Suddenly, she felt the jade compass vibrate slightly.

Um? ? ? ?

They acted quite quickly. It's been 24 hours since the items were distributed yesterday.

It's all set up already? And the placement is perfect.

The teams that received the mission: Just kidding, we all have missions to compete with, okay? The slowest team has to wash everyone else's smelly socks for a month.

To the professionals who didn't want to participate in this competition: You bunch of animals, do you have absolutely no regard for our lives?!

This isn't about which team completes the mission faster; it's more like we're the ones with the toughest lives...

Not knowing how the teams had managed to bury the array stones so quickly, Su Li put down her binoculars and ran her hand across the jade compass.

A beam of light flew out and hovered in front of everyone, with each point of light lighting up one by one.

If someone were to compare it with a map, they would find that the light and shadow appearing are exactly the locations that Su Li had marked on the map earlier.

With a flicker of spiritual light in her hand, the threads carrying spiritual power connected the points of light together under Su Li's guidance, forming an array.

"Is that all?" Seeing the jade compass in Su Li's hand gradually lose its light, Hei Xiazi couldn't help but poke it with his finger.

"Alright, now we just need to wait for the fireworks tonight." Su Li slapped away Hei Xiazi's restless hands and put the jade compass away.

"If these fireworks go off, the barking dogs will get a real shock."

Fatty Wang couldn't help but laugh when he thought about what the fireworks they had prepared were made of.

Wu Xie clearly got Wang Pangzi's point. After thinking for a moment, he pulled out six large black umbrellas from his spatial ring and gave one to each of his friends.

"Put it away first, don't forget later, it's really bad luck to have that stuff on you."

"What? Isn't it time for you to sift through your old man's ashes?"

Holding his large black umbrella, Hei Xiazi suddenly remembered Sha Haixie, who was sifting through the ashes of Dog Fifth Master to treat the wounds of the unlucky Li Cu, when Wu Xie said that their newly made fireworks were unlucky.

"How can that be the same? My grandfather would still help his favorite grandson even after he's gone, okay?"

That unlucky stuff is different; if it explodes into fireworks and falls onto you, you'll probably have bad luck.

It's a perfect opportunity for those barking dogs to watch their last fireworks display.

If it weren't for the concern that there were still children they had abducted and were raising as the next generation in their headquarters, these ashes wouldn't have been used to make fireworks; they would have been used to make bombs to send them away directly.

"Let's go and meet up with Xiao Zhang and the others."

When the six returned to the camp, they ran into Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan, who had come with Zhang Tata.

Seeing the bewildered looks in their eyes, Wu Xie stopped Zhang Haike, who was about to explain the whole story to them.

Don't you like being a riddle teller?

I wonder if the riddle teller would still be liked if someone else were to do it.

Without delay, Xiao Zhang and his team, who had just gotten out of the car and were still recovering from the shock, were shoved back into the vehicle.

The vehicle started and drove through the mountains and forests...

………………

In the small, cold room, several little girls who looked to be only six or seven years old huddled together, shivering in a corner.

Soft sobs and choked cries could be heard from time to time; they no longer had the strength to wail loudly.

From the moment they were abducted to this place, they were exhausted from crying and filled with despair.

They've been locked up here for days. No matter how much they cry or make a scene, nobody pays them any attention, not even a beating or scolding.

This indifference is more torturous than beatings or scoldings, and it deepens the fear in these children's hearts.

shhhhhh...

bang bang bang...

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the night sky, their light reflecting off the children's faces through the iron bars of the room.

"Smoke, fireworks!"

"Yes, is it almost Chinese New Year?"

"Waaaaah, I miss my mom..."

The children, who had been forced to leave their families for an unknown period of time, had long lost their sense of time and were somewhat dazed when they saw fireworks exploding in the sky.

The Wang family, who had lived here for many years and had long been brainwashed and assimilated, panicked.

The Wang family has never needed these useless things, so why would they set off some ridiculous fireworks here?

If your ammunition depot suddenly exploded right now, they might have to wonder if some reckless person had carried the fire inside.

But setting off fireworks at the Wang family's house...

That means an outsider has come in!

What kind of lunatic could bypass their outer defenses, dodge sentries, and avoid patrols just to come here and set off fireworks?!

What are the computing departments doing? The enemy has already infiltrated their ranks, and they haven't even come out to warn us?

Although the incident happened suddenly, the already strict management and training-style brainwashing still had a very significant effect.

The entire patrol team was mobilized to conduct a search, other departments were on alert, and the instructors responsible for training and mentoring the new recruits also strictly guarded the new forces who had not yet been 'educated'.

The orderly yet tense Wang family did not notice that the scene they saw was already quietly changing.

………………

"This one is fried beautifully."

"I think the blue one is prettier."

"Get out of here, get out of here, little fat boy, what kind of taste do you have? It's clearly the black with gold that's handsome enough, okay? Little Ali specifically requested it, a multicolored black."

"That fat man just fried a colorful white flower."

"Tsk, that guy is so useless, he only burned up this little bit of ash, what can he do with that?"

"It's all because you rushed things too fast. I still have a few ideas that I haven't been able to realize, and the raw materials are already used up."

While everyone was intently watching the fireworks, the two childish kids were bickering, their argument revolving around whose fireworks were the most beautiful.

Everyone has gotten used to the two of them being so competitive and unwilling to back down.

From alchemy and medicine making to cooking, and now to fireworks and gunpowder, there's nothing they can't compete with.

Now that they're arguing, not only the other four who are used to it, but even the group of Zhangs behind them don't give them a second glance.

Why waste your time watching fireworks?

If you're really bored, you can try to figure out if you can run fast enough to grab a good spot, fire a few more shots, and send a few barking dogs flying.

"The formation has been activated. All four exits have been guarded, and tents with hot water, hot meals, and places to rest have been prepared."

As the fireworks in the sky gradually faded, the once brightly lit Wang family headquarters was plunged into complete darkness, without a single ray of light or sound, as if all living things in the area had vanished in an instant.
