917 Contac (1/2)
”There is a possibility of that, and it's not small.”
”Let's just wait.” Yang Guanfeng lit a cigarette.
”What are we waiting for?” Lu Xiufeng asked.
”We will wait for that person.”
Since there was someone who had given them a secret message at night, it was likely that the person would give them another one.
”Oh, that one?”
”Yes, that one.”
The night was quiet. The entire stockade was silent. Most of the people had entered dreamland, with the exception of a few people, such as Lu Xiufeng and Yang Guanfeng. They were lying on the bed talking about things and waiting for the person who had delivered the message to them that night.
”I don't think he will come back in the first half of the night,” Yang Guanfeng said. ”I'll go to bed first. You keep an eye out.”
”Hey, that's not right,” Lu Xiufeng said. ”I should have been the one to say that!”
”I think you are quite energetic. I am a little tired.”
”Alright, go to bed first.”
After a short while, Yang Guanfeng began snoring. He had fallen asleep. For some unknown reason, he had felt tired and fatigued that day and just wanted to sleep.
”Why haven't you arrived yet? I'll fall asleep if I don't come soon.” Lu Xiufeng laid in bed. He was bored beyond words. He picked up his cellphone to read a novel.
A little after 10 p.m., a small iron ball flew in from outside and landed on the ground with a clink. He hurried out of bed, picked up the small iron ball, and found a blank piece of paper inside.
”What does that mean?”
”Write down our contact information.” A voice came from behind him.
”Goddammit, Lao Yang. When did you wake up? Can you please make some noise? You scared me! This could frighten someone to death!” Lu Xiufeng was really shocked.
”I just woke up.”
”I didn't expect such a little noise to wake you up from the looks of how deep you were sleeping.”
”Don't talk so much,” Yang Guanfeng said. ”Write it down quickly and throw it out. The other party is probably waiting outside now.”
Just now, he had indeed fallen asleep, but he had developed a professional habit after many years. No matter how he slept, he was able to get up and react immediately from just a little sound.
Lu Xiufeng didn't talk unnecessarily anymore. He quickly wrote down two phone numbers and put them into the small iron ball. He threw it out of the window and listened quietly for a while.
”That's strange. Why don't I hear anything?”
”He's gone.” Yang Guanfeng was back in bed.
”Let's sleep.”
”Ah, Lao Yang, you've come to bear it,” Lu Xiufeng said with a smile.
”We have already taken the main step. Next, let's see what useful news that person can provide us,” Yang Guanfeng said. After a while, he started snoring again.
”That's right.” After a short time, Lu Xiufeng also fell asleep.
The first message came early morning the next morning when most people were asleep. Lu Xiufeng was awakened by his cellphone vibrating. He picked up the phone and saw a message.
[The stockade is studying the elixir of immortality, presided over by Miao Xihe. Several people have participated in the study. They are conducting human experiments.]
Human experiments? Lu Xiufeng thought for a while. He turned around and looked at Yang Guanfeng. He hadn't woken up.
He softly called out, ”Lao Yang?”
”What's the matter?” Yang Guanfeng immediately opened his eyes and felt for his waist.
”Look at this.” He handed Yang Guanfeng his cellphone.
”Experiments?”
”Yes.”
”Where is the evidence and the place?”
Lu Xiufeng sent back a message with those questions. After a while, the other party replied.
[Southwest of Houshan Mountain.]
”Not in the stockade?”
The two shared a look.
”Southwest of Houshan Mountain is a little vague for a location.” Lu Xiufeng frowned, which was rare.
It didn't matter if the location was vague. It was just a mountain. If they wanted to find it, they could find it. If they could not do it in one day, they would find it in two days. The main problem was not if they wanted to find it. It was if the others wanted them to find it, for example, Miao Qingfeng, who followed them all the time. From morning to night, except when they went to the toilet and sleep, he was always with them and by their side. They couldn't investigate that place alone.
”What should we do?”
”Let's go and have a look tomorrow,” Yang Guanfeng said. There wasn't a good way to solve this problem. They were on someone else's territory.
”With what reason?”
