Chapter 693 Swan Apartment
"We still have three days to prepare. Xin'er, go gather information about Youquan City and Swan Apartment. Ma Liang, you'll be in charge of booking the tickets, including the round-trip air and train tickets."

"No need, Youquan City is not far from us, we can drive there." Wu Qi said with a smile.

"Huh? Is that so?" Cheng Tian asked.

Wu Qi nodded and said, "Youquan City is a prefecture-level city, not very famous, in the neighboring province, but I happen to have a relative there, and I went there a few times when I was a kid. If you start from here, the one-way trip should not exceed three hours."

Cheng Tian nodded, and after a moment's thought, he said, "That's fine, but we still need to make preparations for both scenarios. We have eight people and need two cars. Four people can drive, so we have two drivers in one car, who can take turns. How about this: if anyone is willing to take other means of transportation, please go to Ma Liang and sign up."

Afterwards, Cheng Tian arranged various matters in an orderly manner and did not panic because this mission might result in his death. This emotion seemed to infect others, and the atmosphere of fear was slowly dissipated, as if it had really become an ordinary team-building activity.

On the highway heading to Youquan City, two quite spacious off-road vehicles were driving at high speed.

Taking into account various possible situations, they finally chose to borrow two off-road vehicles from other residents. Cheng Tian, ​​Wu Qi, Ye Xiner and Sun Xiaoyang were sitting in one of the vehicles.

The one driving now is Cheng Tian, ​​he is very skilled and although the car is running at high speed, it is extremely stable.

"Sister Xin'er, please tell me more about the information you found." Wu Qi relied on his young age and sweet talk to maintain a good relationship with other residents of the apartment.

Ye Xiner shook her head and said, "Didn't I print it out and give it to everyone?"

"How can a cold A4 paper compare to the beautiful voice of Sister Xin'er." Wu Qi laughed, and seemed to be the most relaxed one among all the people.

This is actually true. Although he is very curious about the mission in the apartment, he has never experienced any mission. However, audio and video materials are not as good as the real feeling. Now he is mostly curious.

Ye Xiner shook her head, thinking of the nervousness she felt when she went on her first mission. She also believed what Director Cheng Tian said. The gap between people cannot be compared in the slightest. Compared to herself, this Wu Qi is indeed more likely to survive.

So she coughed, cleared her throat, picked up the information in her hand, picked out a few important ones and began to read.

"Youquan City has been called this since ancient times. Legend has it that there is a spring underground that leads directly to the underworld, serving as a vital passage between the two realms. Seven hundred years ago, it was sealed off by order of the then emperor, but the name of Youquan has survived."

"crash"

This was followed by the sound of shuffling papers, and then Ye Xiner continued.

"Swan Apartment, although called an apartment, is actually a high-end apartment-style hotel with a swimming pool and a sports field. It is located on the top of Youquan Mountain, where there is snow all year round, so there is also a ski resort. According to the rules, I don't know if these areas are considered part of the Swan Apartment." After a brief pause.

"Thirteen years ago, a serious accident occurred at Swan Apartments. It seems the cause was a sudden heavy snowfall that closed the mountain. The apartments were cut off from the outside world for three months. No one knows what happened during that time. The survivors were all delirious and were admitted to a mental hospital. They later passed away one after another. Swan Apartments was closed for twelve years because of this. Last year, someone bought it and renovated it, and it just reopened."

Ye Xiner then flipped through the information in her hand again, then shook her head and said, "The rest are just some irrelevant stuff. Oh, and the last page is a map from the official website of Swan Apartments. I think we can take a closer look at it and familiarize ourselves with it. It might help us escape."

"You don't seem scared at all?"

Sun Xiaoyang is a male college student, about the same age as Wu Qi. He has already completed two missions, but his personality is not very similar to Wu Qi's. He doesn't like to talk much. Although he can't be considered taciturn, there are at least ten people between him and a social giant like Wu Qi.

Wu Qi smiled and whispered to himself, "Am I really not afraid?"

The voice of this sentence was very low, but it was very clear in the SUV. The four of them fell into a strange silence for a while.

Fortunately, we were not far from the finish line at this time. Although the winding mountain road was winding, it was not a challenge for a luxury car with superb driving skills and excellent performance.

Soon, the group of eight parked the car in the parking lot of Swan Apartment. A tall building appeared in front of everyone. It was somewhat similar to an apartment, but more luxurious. There were four huge words "Swan Apartment" on the top.

When the eight people gathered together, an inexplicable cold wind suddenly blew over, making everyone shudder. It was already autumn, and the temperature on the mountain was several degrees lower than that at the foot of the mountain. It felt like winter. This cold wind not only made Ye Xiner pull her coat tighter, but also added a layer of gloom to her heart.

At this moment, a beam of light suddenly shot out from behind the few people. It was a gray car parked next to the two SUVs. At the same time, a handsome man opened the car door and pulled out a small suitcase from the trunk of the car without saying a word.

"Are you here to play too?" Ye Xiner asked as she watched the man walking towards Swan Apartment.

The man turned his head, looked at the others, nodded and said, "Well, play for a few days."

After saying that, he walked towards the apartment on his own, with an attitude that said no strangers are allowed in, which made Ye Xiner feel discouraged for no reason.

"Sister Xiner, it's already this time, and you're still flirting with handsome guys?" Wu Qi said with a smile.

Ye Xiner quickly shook her head and said, "I'm just confused. There doesn't seem to be any publicity for Swan Apartments right now. Look at his license plate, it's obviously from out of town. He actually came all the way here to play. Don't you think it's suspicious?"

Cheng Tian pondered and said, "Xin'er's words do make some sense, but it's better to avoid interacting with strangers. If they are involved in our incident, it will not be a good thing for them."

The others were silent for a while, and then everyone waited quietly there. About two hours later, near midnight, which was the deadline for the apartment mission, everyone packed their luggage and headed towards Swan Apartment.

The road under his feet was paved with smooth cobblestones. The wheels of the suitcase went up and down on it, making a "clicking" sound. It was very strenuous, which made Wu Qi start to complain.

"No wonder business is so bad, this design is totally unreasonable!"

"Okay, I will report your opinion to the leader." A calm voice suddenly sounded in Wu Qi's ears. He was startled and found that a man in waiter's clothes had been standing beside the crowd with a smile on his face.

Since it was already late at night and he was wearing a dark suit, it would be hard to tell if he didn't speak.

Wu Qi shook his head and said, "You want to scare people to death!"

The man in the suit smiled slightly and said, "Let me serve you."

His smile was very formal, but for some reason, it made Ye Xiner feel even colder.
