After following this new path for a while, they came across a relatively spacious area. It was piled high with various supplies, clearly a storage point for the Dark Night organization.
Chapter 933 There is a map here
“This seems like a good opportunity; we can find something useful to take back,” Lena said.
"Don't rush, let's see if we can find more clues," Su Ting advised.
The group scattered and began searching the storeroom. Suddenly, Leah shouted, "Look, there's a map here!"
Su Ting hurried over, took the map, and examined it carefully. It marked several locations, along with some handwritten annotations. "This map shows several important locations, one of which is not far away, marked 'Forbidden Area'."
“Forbidden area?” Aiden frowned. “That sounds suspicious.”
“I think we should go and take a look; maybe we can find more clues,” Kevin suggested.
“That’s what we’ll do,” Su Ting nodded. “But we have to be extra careful; the defenses here are definitely very tight.”
They continued following the map, carefully avoiding several patrols of masked men along the way. Finally, they arrived at the place marked "Forbidden Zone".
This was a huge stone chamber, its doors tightly shut, and surrounded by traps. Su Ting crouched down and carefully examined the surrounding devices.
“There are traps here; we need to figure out how to remove them before we can get in,” Su Ting said.
“Let me give it a try.” Kevin stepped forward, took out his tools, and began to work. A few minutes later, with a soft click, the trap was deactivated.
"It's done!" Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Ting pushed open the door, and the group filed in. The stone chamber was simply furnished, with an altar in the center and some strange artifacts placed around it.
"What exactly is this place used for?" Lena asked, puzzled.
“Whatever it is, there’s definitely something wrong here.” Su Ting pondered for a moment, then turned to Annie. “Have you ever heard your father mention a place like this before?”
“No, but I have a bad feeling.” Annie shook her head, her face pale.
“We must find your family as soon as possible; we can’t delay any longer,” Su Ting comforted him.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, accompanied by chaotic footsteps and angry shouts.
"Oh no, they might have spotted us!" Aiden said alertly.
"Get out of here immediately!" Su Ting quickly gave the order, and everyone rushed towards the exit.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the stone chamber, they were surrounded by a group of people. Leading them was the man in the black robe, who looked at them with a cold smile: "Just as I expected, you actually dared to trespass into our base."
"Hand over those people!" Su Ting shouted, gripping his sword tightly.
"Haha, you're all too naive." The man in black robes chuckled contemptuously. "But it's fine, I'll end all of this with my own hands now."
Before he could finish speaking, the masked men around them launched an attack. Su Ting and his companions did not back down and fought back fiercely. Amidst the flashing blades, the battle was exceptionally brutal.
"Su Ting, this won't do, we'll be trapped here and die!" Kevin shouted.
“I know we have to find a way to break through!” Su Ting replied.
Just then, a loud explosion rang out in the distance, shaking the entire base. Su Ting's eyes lit up. "The opportunity has arrived! Now's the time!"
They fought their way out and finally escaped the chaotic area. They ran quickly along the mountain path and eventually returned to their previous camp.
Chapter 934 The Weaknesses of the Organization
“We’re safe for now,” Su Ting said, panting, “but we still need to find the weaknesses of the Dark Night organization as soon as possible and rescue Annie’s family.”
“They’ll be alright, won’t they?” Annie asked anxiously.
"Yes, we will definitely not give up," Su Ting said firmly. "Tomorrow, we will formulate a new plan and continue to move forward."
"Su Ting, what do you suggest we do?" Kevin asked.
"I'll think of a better way." Su Ting gazed into the distance, his eyes resolute.
Night fell again, and the flickering firelight illuminated their faces. Hope ignited in everyone's heart, awaiting new challenges and opportunities.
"No matter what, we can't give up," Lena said softly.
“Yes, we will find the answer,” Leah agreed.
"It will definitely happen," Su Ting said softly, his heart filled with determination.
“I believe you.” Anne smiled slightly, her eyes shining with trust.
As night fell, the group sat silently around the campfire. After a day of tension and battle, everyone felt exhausted, but a stronger belief burned within them.
"Su Ting, what do you think we should do next?" Kevin broke the silence, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Su Ting pondered for a moment, then looked up at everyone. "We cannot act rashly. The strength of the Dark Night Organization should not be underestimated; we must find their weaknesses."
“Perhaps we can split up and look for more clues,” Lena suggested.
“That’s a good idea,” Leah nodded in agreement. “It can improve efficiency, but we have to be careful.”
“Alright, we’ll split into two groups. One group will continue exploring the Dark Night organization’s base, while the other group will go to the surrounding villages to gather information.” Su Ting made the decision. “Aiden, you come with me to the base, and Kevin, Lena, and Leah will go to the nearby villages to collect intelligence.”
"Understood!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the dense forest, bringing warmth to the world. The two groups then embarked on their respective journeys.
Aiden and Suting followed the route they remembered back to the outskirts of the Dark Night organization's base. They carefully avoided the patrolling guards and found a hidden entrance. This time, they were wiser; they didn't venture too deep and instead chose to observe from the shadows.
"Su Ting, look over there!" Aiden suddenly whispered.
Following Aiden's pointing finger, Su Ting saw a man in a black robe standing on a stone platform not far away, seemingly directing something. Several attendants stood beside him, who appeared to be important members.
“That guy seems like something special,” Aiden said in a low voice.
“Indeed, he might be an important figure in the Dark Night organization.” Su Ting narrowed his eyes. “We need to hear what they’re saying.”
The two men approached silently, hiding behind a bush and holding their breath. The man in black robes said in a deep voice, "The intruders from last night have left, but we cannot let our guard down. We must strengthen our defenses to prevent them from re-entering."
"Yes, Chief," the attendants beside him answered in unison.
"By the way, how's the research on that person going?" the man in black robes suddenly asked.
"Progress is going well and it is expected to be completed within a few days," a servant replied respectfully.
“Very good. This person is extremely important to us; we cannot afford any mistakes.” The man in black robes nodded in satisfaction.
Chapter 935 Never Came Back
"Who exactly is this person?" Su Ting asked in a low voice, puzzled.
Aiden shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar, followed by several exclamations.
"Oh no, someone's coming!" Aiden said alertly.
"Retreat immediately!" Su Ting quickly got up and led Aiden to retreat into the depths of the forest.
Meanwhile, Kevin and his two companions arrived at a nearby town. Disguised, they blended into the crowd and began gathering information about the Dark Night organization.
"I heard that the Dark Night organization has been very active lately, and many villagers have been arrested," an old man sighed.
"Do you know why they arrested those people?" Kevin asked.
"Some say it was for an experiment, but I don't know what kind of experiment it was." The old man shook his head. "Anyway, the people who were arrested never came back."
"That's terrifying," Lena whispered.
"We must find out the truth about all this as soon as possible," Leah said through gritted teeth.
The three continued wandering around the town, trying to find more clues. Suddenly, they noticed a young woman running towards them in a panic, as if something urgent had happened.
"Are you outsiders? Can you help me?" the woman asked urgently.
"What happened?" Kevin asked quickly.
"I am a female healer here. I just heard that the Dark Night organization is going to kidnap patients from the village. I'm worried that they will harm innocent people," the woman said anxiously.
"Can you take us there?" Lena asked.
"Of course, come with me!" The woman led the three of them quickly to the other side of the village.
Meanwhile, Suting and Aiden found a safe hiding place. They sat down, catching their breath, and thought about their next move.
"Su Ting, who do you think that important person is?" Aiden asked.
“It’s not clear yet, but I think he’s crucial to our rescue of Annie’s family,” Su Ting said, frowning.
“Then we need to go back and investigate,” Aiden said.
“That’s right, but we need to be more cautious this time.” Su Ting nodded in agreement. “We’ll act tomorrow. Let’s go back and meet up with the others to exchange intelligence.”
“Okay, that’s settled then.” Aiden nodded.
Night fell again, and Suting and Aiden returned to the camp to reunite with Kevin and the others. The flickering firelight illuminated everyone's faces.
"Did you find anything?" Su Ting asked.
"We discovered that the Dark Night organization is abducting patients from the village, and they appear to be conducting some kind of experiment," Kevin reported.
“This is very likely the subject of that important figure’s research.” Su Ting frowned.
