The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

People only have one life, and in everyone's eyes, Meng Yu is like their reborn parent.

"Count the number of people!" Meng Yu stood up from the ground and ordered loudly.

Everyone counted in turn, from the first to the last, the number of people was the same as when they set out, not one less.

"We are a collective, so we must unite as one. Those who are not injured, go and help the injured. This is an order!"

Meng Yu saw that many people were injured this time, and they had lost almost all the supplies they carried during the escape.

Now, they have almost nothing except the necessary self-defense tools.

Everyone supported each other and endured the long night in the cold wind.

The sky just started to turn pale, and soon the sun slowly rose.

How heavy the rain was yesterday is how warm the sun is today.

The bottom of the mountain was already in a mess. In addition to broken trees, there were also many animal carcasses.

The road down the mountain was completely blocked, so they had no choice but to go up the mountain. As for whether there was a way out on the mountain, they had no idea.

"It seems that we can only go this way. Maybe we can find a way out. The road at the foot of the mountain has been washed away by mudslides and is completely unrecognizable." Gu Xiaowu said after checking it out.

At this time, someone suggested: "I saw my things fell down there, how about we go down and pick them up?"

"Yes, my stuff is down there too. To save our lives yesterday, we threw all our stuff away. Now that the mudslide has passed, let's go down and pick up the stuff!"

If they walk in this forest without some self-defense equipment and encounter wild wolves like they did yesterday, they will probably just have to wait for death.

Just as a few people were about to go down, Meng Yu immediately stopped them and said, "No, mudslides don't usually happen just once."

"General, what do you mean?" someone asked in confusion.

"Even though it's not raining now, there is a high possibility of mudslides again. If we go down now, our lives will be in danger at any time." Meng Yu explained with a serious expression.

In his heart, he actually wanted to take those tools, after all, they were life-saving things.

But he really couldn't put everyone in danger just to get these things.

"No one is allowed to pick it up, follow me!"

Meng Yu said, and turned away, without any attachment to the things below. The first task now was to find the cave.

After hearing his explanation, the other imperial guards did not dare to delay any longer and followed him away.

They walked along the rugged and winding path, as if they had stepped into a foggy forest, and had no idea which way to go ahead.

After coming down from the top of the mountain, the group plunged into the deep mountains and forests.

The weather was originally quite good, but suddenly it became foggy, making them lose their way.

"General, the fog is so thick that we can't see the road at all. How can we move forward?"

"Let's stop first. We don't know anything about the road conditions right now. Any rash action will only cause our brothers to die in vain."

Meng Yu was also in a dilemma at this moment. Time was running out and they didn't have much time to stop and rest.

But now the fog is so thick that continuing to move forward will undoubtedly be full of unpredictable dangers.

No one knew when the fog would dissipate, so they could only stay where they were helplessly, praying silently in their hearts that time would go slower so that the fog would dissipate quickly.

"General Meng Yu, how about letting me explore the way first? Maybe I can find some clues."

Gu Xiaowu took the initiative to step forward and recommend himself.

Such a large team cannot shrink back and stand still because of this difficulty.

"No, this is too dangerous." Meng Yu rejected his request without hesitation.

"I'll go out and take a look. Even though the fog is so thick that I can't see anything clearly, I'll try to leave some marks. If I can't find a way out, I'll go back the same way."

Gu Xiaowu was determined to leave and his attitude was very firm.

He remembered what his father once said: everyone will die one day, some people's death is heavier than Mount Tai, some people's death is lighter than a feather.

If he could make a contribution to the Great Zhou Dynasty, then Gu Xiaowu's life would be worthwhile.

Besides, just waiting here was not a solution. They didn't have much dry food with them, and they had lost some of it before. If they kept waiting like this, they would only starve to death.

It would be better to let him take a risk and try it. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.

After his repeated requests, Meng Yu finally agreed to his request.

"You must promise me that no matter what, you must ensure your safety. We are waiting for you to come back here."

Meng Yu patted his shoulder, his eyes revealing an indescribable trust.

After receiving the order, Gu Xiaowu set out resolutely. He had no idea if he would be able to return, but he knew that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and there were people waiting for him, and everyone was counting on him to save their lives.

He walked forward for a long time, and the scene before him could only be described as "pitch dark". Except for things within two meters, nothing else could be seen clearly.

Gu Xiaowu didn't know how long he had been walking, he just knew that he could no longer find the way he came.

Just as he was wandering around like a headless fly, he suddenly found a bug.

This insect looks very strange and emits a faint fluorescence, but it is not quite the same as a firefly.

He followed the bug, and unexpectedly he actually found the way back.

Everyone was waiting for him anxiously, and as soon as they saw him come back, they couldn't wait to ask if he had found a way out.

"We can follow this bug, maybe we can find a way out. I was lost when I came here, and then this bug appeared, and I followed it all the way here."

Gu Xiaowu said this carefully, knowing that what he said sounded a little strange, but at the moment he could only try his best.

There might still be a chance if you give it a try. Meng Yu fully agreed with his suggestion.

Instead of sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to follow this bug. Maybe you can find a way out.

After he told everyone his idea, no one objected.

So, the group followed the bug and explored around in the forest.

Just when they thought they would never be able to get out of the forest, the fog in front of them gradually thinned out, and then a dark cave appeared in front of them.

"We actually found the cave. This is really a blessing in disguise."

Meng Yu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

He told Yang Xia the good news as soon as possible.

Several people were guarding around the cave, and when they were hungry they would take out the little dry food they had left and eat a few bites.

Fortunately, there is a small stream next to the cave, so we don’t have to run out of water to drink while eating.

"Let's wait a little longer, reinforcements will arrive soon."

Meng Yu was very excited.

They have made a great contribution. After all, finding this cave is not a trivial matter. After going through so much hardship, they finally found this place. It is worth all the hard work they have gone through before. As long as the result is good, the efforts in the process are worth it.

"Thanks to Xiaowu, I will definitely give him a first-class merit when I return this time."

Meng Yu patted the shoulder of the person next to him, his eyes full of appreciation.

In the critical moment, only Gu Xiaowu stepped forward. He was worthy of being brought up by him and had never let him down.

"General, thank you for your praise. This is what I should do."

Gu Xiaowu answered with a shy smile.

He did this just for the sake of the overall situation. He didn't think he was that great. He worked hard just to survive.

They sat on the edge of the cave and began to explore the situation inside the cave.

Meng Yu looked at the cave carefully, studying it inside and out, and finally found that with the current strength of just a few of them, it was impossible to enter the cave from here.

He originally wanted to change his thinking and look for a breakthrough somewhere else, but this cave had only one entrance, and if he wanted to go deeper into it, he had to enter through this entrance.

However, the vines at the entrance of the cave had been cut down, and they accidentally touched something and were suddenly shocked by a force.

When Meng Yu came to his senses, he found that although he could walk inside, a huge door appeared in front of him after a few steps.

This is a double-opening stone door, engraved with complex patterns and with a sunken area in the middle.

"How about we try to pry it open with something?" With the mentality of giving it a try, Meng Yu picked up the wooden stick in his hand and asked everyone to take out the weapons they had on them and pry it open together.

But no matter how hard they tried, the door didn't move at all, and there was no place to gain leverage.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the weapons in their hands broke into two pieces.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaowu hurriedly stopped this reckless behavior.

"This won't work. Even if we break all the weapons in our hands, we still can't open this door. We have to find another way."

If they continue like this, not only will they lose their weapons, they might even get hurt.

"I think you are right. There must be some mechanism hidden in this cave. As long as we find it, we can get in."

Meng Yu sighed helplessly. Success was clearly right in front of them, but they were blocked outside this door. Even taking a step forward became a luxury.

Since he couldn't get in, he could no longer act rashly. He began to arrange his men in an orderly manner.

"You guys go get some water, you guys go find something to eat, you can't just sit here and wait."

People only have energy when they are full. If everyone just sits here and wastes time, it would be a sheer waste of time.

The men under his command were divided into two groups, one to look for water and the other to look for food.

Meng Yu stayed with the rest of the people and continued to study the cave. Maybe they could find a way to get in, which would make their journey here from afar worthwhile.

At the same time, the incident of the barons of the Great Zhou Dynasty being taken away caused heated discussions on the Internet.

Many netizens are speculating what the reason for doing this is.

However, this is just speculation, after all, they don't know the real situation.

On the other side, Yang Xia is preparing to go to Island X.

There were not many people he could lead. After the two generals took away some of the people, the number of troops he had was pitifully small.

But there was no telling how many dangers I would encounter on this trip to Island X. If I went alone, my chances of success would be slim.

Yang Xia sighed helplessly, feeling very embarrassed.

Just then, he opened the APP and found that his national fortune points had increased again, so he exchanged these national fortune points for points without hesitation.

With these points, he felt like he had suddenly become "rich".

Yang Xia immediately screened through the system mall and exchanged for more than a dozen third-rank guards and imperial spies. The strength of these people was several levels higher than that of the imperial guards.

These dozen or so third-rank imperial guards and secret agents were led by a girl named Honghong.

"See you, Your Majesty!"

Honghong took the lead and knelt down, and the others followed suit.

Yang Xia raised his hand and said, "Everyone, get up."

With these dozen third-rank guards and secret agents, what he was going to do next would be much easier.

At the same time, he also took the remaining hundreds of royal guards and dozens of imperial guards, boarded the airship, and headed for Island X.

On the way to X Island, he suddenly received a video call from General Meng Yu.

"My lord, we found this cave, but we can't find the entrance. We have no choice but to call and ask, what should we do to get in?"

General Meng Yu in the video was sweating profusely, obviously very anxious.

The sun was scorching hot where he was, and the people around him were sweating profusely.

They studied here for a long time, but there was no progress at all.

Moreover, the people sent out to look for food never returned.

They were now tired and hungry and just wanted to find a cool place to rest, but their duties required them to not leave.

"Turn the video over so I can see it."

Yang Xia said with a frown. Then, the video screen changed and a hole appeared in the screen.

There are two stone doors at the entrance of the cave.

"If I'm not mistaken, the mechanism on this door should be nearby. Look for any raised spots or anything strange on the wall!"

Yang Xia initially judged that the door was either opened from the inside or from the outside.

The latter possibility is more likely. After all, if the door is opened from the inside, the person who built it will have no way to get out, which is equivalent to trapping himself inside.

He believed that there should be no such stupid person in the world.

"Then I'll arrange someone to look for it." Meng Yu did not hang up the phone, but immediately directed the people around him to start searching for those suspicious places.

Before making the video call, he had already taken people to search the surrounding area carefully, but did not find anything unusual.

This time, following Yang Xia's instructions, they began to focus on looking for those raised points, the strange patterns on them, or any unusual objects appearing around them.

Finally, Gu Xiaowu’s hard work paid off and he found a raised spot behind the vine.

He quickly ran over to report, and Yang Xia asked someone to turn the video screen away.

Yang Xia took a look at the raised spot and judged that this should be the location of the mechanism.

"Have your men step back a little, and then press the button." (End of this chapter)
