I'll forge a new destiny

Chapter 65 Unable to sneak in
  In the gloomy night, some dull knocking sounds echoed in this remote forest.

Holding the two bodies that fainted after the collision, Zhang Xing was careful not to let them suffer any other harm. After looking around to make sure there were no other sentries nearby to deal with, he dragged them to the woods and put them away.

After touching the watermelon rind on his back, Zhang Xing still did not take off the clothes of the two people, but just picked up the extinguished lantern.

After weighing it gently, I found that there was not much lamp oil left inside, and the sound of it sloshing around was very obvious.

"If it's not about to get off work, then someone will come to take over soon..."

There's no way that today just happened to be such a coincidence that you forgot to add oil to the lamp, right?
  Regardless of whether it was a shift change or a replacement, the two people he had knocked unconscious now should soon be discovered not to be where they should be.

"This is a bit troublesome..." Zhang Xing frowned and used the remaining lamp oil to estimate how much time the two guards had left for patrolling.

The result is not optimistic. He is very pressed for time now, and his whereabouts may be discovered before he can search the manor for long.

Zhang Xing is not easily discovered, but as long as the patrolling people pass by and don't see these two people, if they go to the place where these people rest and ask, they will definitely find that someone has sneaked into the manor.

"Ok?"

The house leaked and it rained all night, which really meant that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived - at the edge of Zhang Xing's perception, someone was walking this way, and it was exactly the direction from which the two people came.

No, more than that.

Among the two fainted guards, someone was walking in the direction they were originally going to go, and the movement felt like a search.

The defense of the Mellann family was worthy of their name. Whether it was the person who was about to take over or the guards who had not waited for the replacement partner, they quickly realized that something was wrong, and without any further delay, they immediately launched their own actions.

It is estimated that they have encountered shift handover delays before, or are afraid of making a fuss. Now they are just normal patrols searching according to their own routes.

But Zhang Xing suspected that if he delayed it any longer, or if he didn't handle it well, more guards would notice something was wrong. Then the guards here may not just come to search, but directly send a signal.

Looking at the two guards at his feet, leaning against the tree trunk and falling into a baby-like sleep, Zhang Xing had a headache.

"That's sloppy..."

Carrying a lantern, he walked towards the group in search mode - these two people were closer, and they were inherently wary, so they had to be dealt with first.

Without even taking two steps, two groups of people running in both directions caught up with them.

"Why are you the only one?"

Perhaps Zhang Xing's swagger was too confusing, but the two people didn't notice anything wrong when they met each other, so they started asking.

Zhang Xing did not waste any time and took two more steps forward. When the light from the opposite side was about to shine on him, he shook the lantern in his hand: "The light is broken..."

There is something important about this. First, it is to use something that both parties have to draw closer to each other, making the other party think that it is one of their own. Second, explain why you are late, and even let the other party think about the bad things and say there are other things. The other person was delayed because of this, so he asked Zhang Xing to come first.

Anyway, let the other person guess what he wants, as long as his attention can be diverted a little.

After all, Zhang Xing was already close.

"It would be troublesome if it breaks down, but we are the last class anyway. You go back slowly..."

"Wait a minute, what's wrong with your voice-"

There was another muffled sound, and Zhang Xing, who once again asked a pair of guards to meet, was now more experienced and put the person on the ground without even extinguishing the lights in their hands.

"There's nothing wrong with my voice, it's with my person."

Looking at the two people lying on the ground with satisfaction, Zhang Xing felt a little relaxed as he sensed another wave in the distance.

Anyway, we are the last class - the implication is that no one will come from this direction again. Finally, there is some good news. It seems that my luck is indeed not bad.

If there were only sentries in one direction, it wouldn't be that much trouble for one person to handle it, and it would be much more convenient.

Feeling that the other wave of people were still far away, Zhang Xing did not leave the two fainted ones on the road, but dragged them to a hidden place nearby.

He came back and picked up the still burning lantern, feeling its weight. As expected, it was very important. It seemed that the inspection schedule was calculated in terms of lamp oil.

"That's a good idea."

In this way, even if communication is inconvenient, the guards can have a rough estimate of the inspection situation and ensure that the inspected network has the lowest security line.

When and where you should be, and who you should meet, you can get a rough idea just by looking at the lamp. Even if it is slightly uneven, you can still make some preparations in advance.

"For example, you..." Looking at the two people sleeping like this, Zhang Xing looked to the other side: "There are them."

Time to deal with another wave.

Carrying the glowing oil lamp, Zhang Xing swaggered towards the perceived target.

It was a little different from the ones here. They had already preconceived the idea that something had happened to the person they were replacing, so that Zhang Xing had a chance to get through in the dark.

But there is no such mental construction over there. If you see a person approaching in the dark, you will instinctively be vigilant.

After all, it's just dark now, so it's not completely invisible. Where does Zhang Xing go? It's not strange that you can't see what he looks like, but it's nonsense if you can't see someone.

As the oil lamp swayed, the same star point appeared on the opposite side.

The two flames did not stir up any excitement when they saw each other, they just moved closer to each other silently.

This should be a very normal thing for the people on patrol, so they did not raise any alert to Zhang Xing's approach.

It's just that when each other's lights shine on each other and there is no one around Zhang Xing, he is the only one...

"Why are you the only one?"

The dim, swaying light shone on Zhang Xing's guard uniform - he actually took off a set of clothes this time - and the shadow in the firelight covered Zhang Xing's face well.

"Why am I the only one?" He scratched his head and walked around the lights on the opposite side. He used the light in his hand to ensure that the clothes he was wearing appeared in the other person's eyes without revealing his face: "Because the other person's head hurts a little..."

"Headache?"

"Then just wait for us where you are. Why keep walking?"

"That's right, what else can go wrong? Your health is the most important thing."

"Why are you carrying such a big thing?"

"Yeah, where did that thing come from?"

"What do you mean?" Stepping into the opponent's light, Zhang Xing showed his face generously at this dangerous distance: "This is called watermelon rind..."

It was a gift from Captain Winder.

It's a pity that the two fell asleep too quickly and didn't hear the last sentence.
