Chapter 917: Contact
“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?”
“You’re good at that . You think of it,” Yang Guanfeng said .
The next morning, as usual, Miao Qingfeng came over early .
“Do the two of you have any plans for today?” he asked with a smile .
“Well, is there a lot of wild game in the mountain?” Lu Xiufeng asked as he rubbed his hands together .
“Wild game? Captain Lu, do you want to hunt in the mountains?”
“Oh, yes, that’s what I mean,” Lu Xiufeng said with a smile .
Perfect! Yang Guanfeng thought to himself . In recent days, Lu Xiufeng had left an impression on them that he was unpredictable, except for the fact that he loved food and wine . The impression he left on other places was the same . Because of that, many people had reported to the provincial hall that he was acting as a public official for his own gains . Fortunately, several leaders in the provincial hall knew about his true ability and did not listen to the rumors . Therefore, even if the people in the stockade had informants outside, the evaluation of the two of them would be the same .
“OK, no problem,” Miao Qingfeng said with a smile .
He prepared the bows and arrows .
“Do we hunt with these?” Looking at the bow and arrow in his hand, Lu Xiufeng was surprised .
“Yes, we use these for hunting here . ”
“Ah, well, can you teach us how to use it first?”
“No problem . ”
The two of them quickly learned how to use them . They went up the mountain with the bows and arrows .

“What wild game are there on this mountain?”
“There are deer, hare, boar, pheasant, and many other kinds,” Miao Qingfeng replied .
“There are no fierce beasts like wolves and tigers, right?”
“There are leopards and wolves, but no tigers,” Miao Qingfeng said .
“No way! Will they eat people?”
“In general, they will not take the initiative to attack humans, especially groups like the three of us,” Miao Qingfeng said . “In special cases, for example, when we go near their den and young are in there, they would get very aggressive . If we got closer, they would take the initiative to attack us . ”
“Can you handle them?”
Miao Qingfeng thought for a moment before replying, “Me? Yes, I can . Besides, even if I couldn’t, don’t both of you have guys on you? No matter how ferocious they are, they can’t compete with guns . In fact, the beasts that can be seen are not the most terrible ones . The most terrible things in the jungle are those little things that are easily ignored . ”
“For example?”
“For example, poisonous spiders, centipedes, vipers, and other poisonous things . Quite a few of them are highly poisonous . If you happen to get bitten by them accidentally, it will be fatal . ”
“I don’t think we should have come here after hearing what you have said,” Lu Xiufeng said . As he spoke, he continued walking in the general direction of the mountain .
“It will be fine . I’m here . You won’t have a problem,” Miao Qingfeng said with a smile .
Swish… Swish… Swish… There suddenly was a noise coming from not far away .
“Shh . ” Lu Xiufeng made a shushing gesture . He looked up and saw a dark wild boar . It was grunting as it pushed against something .
“A wild boar!”
“Will our bow and arrow work for this?” Lu Xiufeng softly asked .
“No, the wild boar has rough and coarse skin,” Miao Qingfeng said . “Although the bows and arrows we carry can occasionally pierce its skin, they can’t cause fatal damage to it unless they happen to hit its eyes and other weak parts . They will only make it crazy . ”
“What do we do if encounter a wild boar while hunting?”
“We usually smear a special poison on the arrow of the bow and arrow,” Miao Qingfeng said . “When we hit it, it will faint . That is when we will kill it . I didn’t bring that poison today . ”
“Or, shall I just shoot it down?” Lu Xiufeng took out his pistol .
“Put it away!” Yang Guanfeng glared at him .
“Just joking,” He said with a smile .
“It’s quite a pity . Does wild board taste good?”
“It is good . You’ve eaten it . ” Swish… .
“Is that so? Was it in one of the dishes from the other night?”
“Yes . ”
“Forget it . Let’s go . It won’t attack us on its own accord, will it?”
“It could,” Miao Qingfeng said . “Boars have a very grumpy temper when they are frightened . Let’s keep our voices down . Don’t disturb him, or it will be very troublesome . ”
The three of them quietly left . They continued to search for their next prey . They soon found some pheasant .
“Don’t move,” Lu Xiufeng said . “Let me handle this!”
He drew his bow and nocked the arrow, Unsurprisingly, he missed his shot without . The pheasant flapped its wings frantically as it tried to fly away . As it fluttered, a feathered arrow shot straight into its body . After a flailing around for a few times, it stopped moving .
“Good archery!” Lu Xiufeng raised his thumb .
“I’m flattered . I’ve practiced this since I was a child,” Miao Qingfeng said with a smile .
