Chapter 560 Blockade

The mountain road was damp, and the shoes sank into the mud immediately. The black-faced man walked in front with a mountain axe to clear the way for everyone.

The forest was dense, and the treetops were tall and big. Only half of the sky was visible above everyone's head, and the surroundings were very quiet.

It seemed that there were no other living things in the forest except them.

Before entering the tunnel, everyone felt a strange breath lingering around.

There was a restless smell in the air, as if it was foreshadowing that something was about to happen.

"Doctor." The fat man came over with a big bag on his back and said, "There is no road here at all. You don't really believe what Luo He said, right? I feel that he is unreliable?"

He was worried about being calculated by Luo He. After all, they were calculated before, and there might be some conspiracy here.

"I don't know if there is a conspiracy, but the road should be fine." Huai Yi panted and said, with a big flashlight on his waist, he walked unsteadily, "I looked at the map on my phone when I came here. After crossing this mountain, it's not far to the mine."

In fact, there were originally two easy roads leading to the mine, but according to Luo He, they have been blocked.

Chen Qiang had a gloomy face and said nothing along the way. In the previous introduction, he noticed that Jiang Cheng did not use his former alias, but his real name.

This discovery made his back cold.

According to his understanding of Jiang Cheng, if nothing unexpected happened, this man had no intention of letting anyone except their own people leave alive.

Luo He, Fu Fu, and Zhao Xingguo, who plotted against them, are afraid that they will all die here.

For this, Chen Qiang did not mean to blame anything. On the contrary, he was more determined to follow Jiang Cheng.

Apart from the muddy footsteps and occasional voices, it was very quiet along the way.

Until they climbed over the mountain and came down to a relatively flat halfway up the mountain, several people in front of the team suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Huai Yi walked to the front of the mountain and looked at Linghu Yong who was squatting on the ground and said.

Although Linghu Yong was squatting on the ground, his eyes kept looking around, his eyes were full of vigilance, "Someone came here not long ago."

"How do you know?" Huai Yi looked around, and there was nothing unusual except a piece of mud and leaves mixed with mud on the ground.

"My father is a hunter. He taught me some ways to eliminate footprints in the forest." Linghu Yong said.

This forest is as quiet as death. It is estimated that no hunters will come. More importantly, the people who come here have carefully eliminated footprints.

This is worth thinking about.

"Can you judge how many people there are on the other side?" Jiang Cheng walked forward. He didn't see anything strange, but since Linghu Yong could say it, he must be sure.

The May platform incident in Huishi Town has been upgraded to a B-level supernatural event. Those who dare to wade into this muddy water will not be ordinary people.

"It's hard to say exactly, but there must be a lot." Linghu Yong walked forward a few steps, pushed aside a large patch of weeds, and said, "Look, these grasses were knocked down by people passing by, but were lifted up by the last person in the team."

"They deliberately didn't walk in open places because they were worried about leaving footprints."

"There must be at least 10 people." Linghu Yong stared at the ground and concluded.

"Could it be the group of people who disappeared last time?" The fat man asked with a blink.

"No." Linghu Yong touched the grass with his hand and said, "The traces are very fresh, as if they just walked here."

People who can enter the mountain at this time still avoid the main road and choose the deserted path. Everyone guessed the other party's purpose without thinking much.

They are just like them, heading for the mine.

Another team of people entered the mountain, and there are quite a few people.

"Speed ​​up."

But before everyone started, they heard Linghu Yong call for a stop. He seemed to have discovered something and walked slowly towards a mound of earth.

The mound of earth was 20 meters away from them, behind a big tree, and the surrounding area was full of moss.

The next second, his body paused, and then he suddenly fell down. A net spread on the ground was pulled up and caught him inside.

"There is an ambush!"

Several fierce men came out from behind the earth mound, and there were also people running towards them from the other side.

In less than 20 seconds, they were surrounded.

But to their surprise, they were surrounded by people from Huishi Town. Among the people who came up from behind, there were many faces that they were familiar with.

There were about 20 people, except for 7 or 8 strong men, most of them were elderly people.

Don't underestimate these elderly people, their exposed arms were full of bronze muscles, holding various weapons in their hands, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.

Steel forks, hatchets, and even very advanced mountain axes, as well as professional equipment such as mountaineering picks.

The townspeople were dressed very strangely. The people who had been ambushing behind the mound were dressed professionally. Now, when they got closer, they found that it was a low tent covered with camouflage nets.

There was also a layer of fallen leaves on it for cover.

"It seems that we have encountered a black shop." The black-faced man raised his axe, but there was no fear on his face.

Although they were few in number, as long as the other party had no guns, the outcome was still unknown.

"What is this?" The fat man asked in surprise: "This whole town is not full of black shops, are they worried that we will discover their secret of stealing gold and want to kill them to silence them?"

The equipment these townspeople were wearing was obviously not their own. They might have been stripped from previous climbers or campers.

Living people would naturally refuse to give them their equipment, but corpses were much easier.

For a while, the two sides were on edge.

"Who are you?" A man in his early 40s walked out of the crowd, holding a black machete in his hand, the blade flickering with cold light, "What are you doing in the back mountain?"

"You definitely won't believe me if I say I'm here for tourism. I heard there's a gold mine in the back mountain, so I came to try my luck." Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, not afraid at all.

The man's eyes showed a look of "as expected", "Put down your weapons, I'll take you down the mountain, this is not the place you should come to."

"Hey, I said you're fooling fools!" The fat man waved his trekking pole and said angrily, "Put down your weapons, can you still let us go? I'm afraid you're going to kill us all and bury us in the mountain."

"No, as long as you go down the mountain and explain to the police why you're here, we won't hurt you." The man said.

"Where did you get the badge on your shoulder?" Luo He, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

The leading man was wearing a camouflage uniform, and a black thing was exposed on the shoulder of the camouflage uniform, which looked like an ID card.

After the man took out the ID card, the black-faced man, Huai Yi and others, immediately changed their expressions.

The ID card was not big, but it had a very textured texture. It was pure black, and the golden logo printed on it was very eye-catching.

"Night Watchman?" Huai Yi was surprised.
