Chapter 212: Wild Deer Early the next morning, we finished packing our essential supplies. He Yu found a breakfast joint, and the four of us sat around a table eating while chatting idly with the lady running the shop. After listening for a while, I realized He Yu had put quite a bit of thought into picking this place. The proprietress's grandfather had been a logger long ago. Back then, there had been a logging camp deep in the woods of Emu'er Mountain, though after all these years, the camp had…-

Chapter 213: A Midnight Knock at the Door I asked him, "Why did you even bring a bowl along?" He Yu snorted, clearly dissatisfied with my line of questioning. "I asked the guesthouse for it yesterday. Can't you try to eat with a little more class? When you're out in the field, how can you work if you don't eat well? It seems I'm the only one worrying about our basic needs. You? You're unreliable." Muttering to himself, he poured a packet of soup base from a vacuum-sealed bag into the bowl and…

Chapter 201: The Eve of the Break The barbecue was a dull affair. I wasn't sure exactly when the atmosphere had turned so somber, but with some people staying behind to continue the excavation and others joining our ship, the crowd thinned out quickly. We finished off the pigeons in short order, and the three of us extinguished the fire, carrying the remaining meat and vegetables back into the tent. He Yu and I knocked back beers in the tent while Lu Ayao dozed against the table. Once we finished off…

Chapter 202: The Break The three of us were the last to arrive in the cabin. A table sat in the center with a nautical chart spread across it, surrounded by a crowd of workers. I took a quick scan; aside from the crew steering the ship, almost everyone was there. My mother had likely just finished explaining the sailing route. She looked up as she saw us coming down. In an instant, every gaze in the cabin shifted toward us. I had seen this kind of formation before; it never signaled anything…

Chapter 203: The Black Boxes He Yu supported me as we walked to the aft cabin. It was a storage area for miscellaneous items. He began moving the heavy crates aside one by one, then somehow produced a folding stool from nowhere. Pointing at it, he ordered me to sit down. The blood on my nose had already dried, mostly staining my collar. Lu Ayao had given me some medicine to take the moment we arrived, but he was immediately detained in the main cabin. They seemed to need him urgently, though they…

Chapter 204: Looking for Labels My brain short-circuited for a brief moment. Lu Ayao blocked the door and sat beside it. The impact of that corpse was simply too much for me. I reached for the first black crate I had opened, slammed the lid shut, and sat on top of it, slapping my face hard with both hands. He Yu followed my lead and closed the crate containing Tian Xiao's body. He started to prop himself up to sit on it, but halfway through the motion, he must have remembered exactly who he was…

Chapter 205: Jumping the Train "Northwest Outdoor" was likely a brand. Logically, those boxes and tools should have been standardized products from Northwest Outdoor. I planned to investigate further once the ship docked. Time was pressing, and the three of us were getting hungry. We quickly replaced the lids on the black boxes one by one, wiped up the water on the floor with towels, and moved the boxes blocking the door back to their original positions. Only after the cargo hold looked more or less…

Chapter 206: Punishment The nearest village was about half a kilometer ahead of the tracks. We had been on the train for less than three hours, so I estimated we hadn't even left Guangdong yet. The evening sky was overcast and gloomy, looking as though it were about to rain. The four of us waded through the tall weeds and entered the village. Looking back, I saw that several people with bloodied heads had followed our lead and jumped from the train. They were now trailing us like a pack of rabid…
