You Just Hide Here; It's Safe
Neither of them are fools.
Lin Fan stopped because he had clearly noticed something was wrong.
When Wu Guodong heard what Lin Fan said, he naturally paid special attention. Besides, these kinds of farmhouses rarely 'close down'.
"Maybe I should go ask them. Maybe they're taking a nap?"
As Lin Fan spoke, he was about to step forward.
"I'll go instead."
Wu Guodong pulled Lin Fan behind him and then asked as they approached the courtyard, "Is anyone home?"
Is anyone home?
There was no response.
Wu Guodong's face showed a hint of disappointment. "Looks like he really isn't home. Let's go, we'll come again next time."
"Yes, it seems we'll have to do it next time."
The two were talking as they passed by...
Only after they had gone some distance did Wu Guodong say, "Hidden in that farmhouse?"
"There are people inside, about ten or so, and they are breathing heavily."
Lin Fan spoke softly.
He didn't have much Divine Sense, after all, his cultivation level was still too low. But even at his low level, he was still a cultivator, and his body had already been transformed by True Essence, making him no ordinary person.
Now, his five senses are far beyond those of ordinary people; even from dozens of meters away, he can hear breathing if he so chooses.
"Oh?"
Wu Guodong narrowed his eyes slightly. "So this is the place? There were clearly more than a dozen people, but when I went to knock on the door, they pretended that no one was there."
"However, they really went all out. I thought they would hide in the mountains?"
The two continued walking and talking without stopping.
There weren't many tourists coming and going in the vicinity. After all, it was afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest. How many people would go up the mountain in the afternoon during the summer?
"Not particularly bold."
Lin Fan estimated, "Even if it's just the Main City of C City, it's still huge. Who knows where they might be hiding?"
"If it weren't for my 'radar,' could you have located Changge Mountain in such a short time?"
"If we can't pinpoint their location, they're not in danger. It's better for them to stay hidden in this farmhouse than to hide in the mountains."
"There is a place to stay, food, and peace and quiet."
"Once the gate is closed, no one knows if there's anyone inside. They can also surf the internet and so on. If they see you police carrying out an arrest operation, they can still run into the mountains in time."
"That makes sense."
Wu Guodong realized his mistake and nodded, "I misunderstood."
If the police have narrowed down the area, they will of course check all the households.
But if they can't lock down Changge Mountain, they can hide inside and get away with nothing.
"In addition..."
Lin Fan's expression was somewhat serious as he looked at Wu Guodong.
"How?"
Wu Guodong was taken aback, then quickly realized. "What did you find?"
"There's a bloody smell in that room."
Wu Guodong's face immediately darkened. "..."
"Fine."
He spoke, saying he was fine, but his expression said it all.
Why would Wu Guodong risk so much to "abandon his post"? It's because he's afraid those guys will cause trouble.
But now it seems... it's already too late.
Moreover, these people occupy a farmhouse inn. If the farmhouse inn was already occupied, what would they do?
Need I say more?
By this time, the two had turned a corner and could no longer see the farmhouse restaurant. Naturally, they could no longer be seen from inside the farmhouse restaurant either.
At that moment, Wu Guodong immediately took out his phone and contacted his men. "Locate the farmhouse where I just stopped, and then... surround it as discreetly as possible."
"Attention, everyone, put on bulletproof vests and carry weapons."
"Those without bulletproof vests, retreat to the outer perimeter."
"Move out in half an hour!"
On the way up the mountain, a large number of 'tourists' came in a bustling crowd.
There were both men and women, and they seemed to be strangers to each other and did not interfere with each other.
But at that moment, they all covered their ears, because a sound was coming from their earpieces...
The next moment, most of them pretended to be bored and took out their phones, but in reality, they received a location address.
Then...
They then went in different directions.
Some people even climbed over the guardrail and went into the 'old forest'.
All of this is naturally not visible from the farmhouses halfway up the mountain.
Inside the farmhouse restaurant, a group of dark-skinned, lean men with fierce expressions, almost all of whom had tattoos or scars, were eating and drinking silently.
They received the news in the middle of the night, so before dawn, they changed vehicles several times and walked in the dark before finally arriving at this place.
At that moment, no one felt any danger.
It wasn't that they were overly arrogant, but rather that, under normal circumstances, the police would absolutely not be able to find them in such a short time.
Besides, if they really come, the alarm will be heard from a great distance!
Not to mention, there are surveillance cameras all around the farmhouse...
Why is there surveillance?
This all started when the farmhouse fed a lot of pheasants, and then... their pheasants would often mysteriously go missing a few...
Therefore, they were not panicked at all.
"Boss."
Being calm doesn't mean they don't think.
One of the lean men suddenly said, "Why don't we leave as soon as possible? Some people wanted to come and eat or something, what if someone barges in..."
"Just barge in and do it!"
The "boss" sipped his beer and said calmly, "If we leave now, this place will be easily discovered, and then we'll alert the enemy."
"With us here, even if someone breaks in, we can quickly fix the problem."
"Boss, you've got a brilliant idea!"
Everyone who heard this thought it made a lot of sense.
"Don't worry too much..."
A man with a scar on his face patted the lean man on the shoulder. "There are surveillance cameras all around here, it's the best hiding place for us."
"At the slightest sign of trouble, we're ready to flee at any moment."
"It's because I didn't understand..."
The man smiled and felt relieved.
At the bend in the mountain road, under a large tree.
Wu Guodong peeked out a little, with only half an eye showing, but he was able to see the farmhouse clearly and make sure no one left without his knowledge.
"You'll stay here for a while."
Wu Guodong took a deep breath and said, "Whether it's them or not, you stay here."
His expression was serious, clearly not one to be open to discussion.
"I know you're capable, but don't think it's a joke. Being a police officer, especially when dealing with these guys, is a real danger of death."
"Our country's anti-drug police have the highest casualty rate among all police officers. Although we are not anti-drug police, we are doing similar work now."
"You should hide here; you should be safe."
"Okay."
Lin Fan stopped joking around and became respectful when the topic of narcotics police came up.
Many years ago, Hua Nation fought a war related to drugs, but Hua Nation suffered a crushing defeat and almost never recovered.
This is why Hua Nation has always had zero tolerance for drugs.
But in this world, there are always some people who take risks, and as a result, they naturally have a great grudge against the anti-drug police.
Getting caught means certain death.
They naturally didn't want to die or be caught, so it was often a situation where it was either you or me who died.
Especially for undercover narcotics officers, if their identities are exposed, what will happen...?
Even so, Hua Nation anti-drug police have never retreated even a single step!
How could Lin Fan not admire such heroes?!
Time is passing.
Although the operation has not yet begun, the atmosphere is already becoming increasingly tense.
A dark cloud drifted in from the horizon, making Changge Mountain even more sultry.
Wu Guodong was wearing a bulletproof vest underneath, and he was already sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to blink and stared intently.
"It's almost time."
He whispered to himself, took out his headset, and put it on.
Soon, a lot of news came in.
"A Group, in position."
"B Group, in position..."
"C Group is in position immediately..."
"D Group in position, monitoring equipment detected, please provide instructions."
Wu Guodong finally turned around, looked at Lin Fan, and solemnly instructed, "Find a safe place to hide! Your mission is complete!"
"No problem."
Lin Fan shrugged. "Oh, right."
"What?"
"Is there any benefit to this job?"
"All you ever think about is money!"
Wu Guodong laughed and scolded.
"No, what I mean is..."
"Old Wu, don't hang up. If you hang up, my money will be gone."
"..."
Wu Guodong understood and patted Lin Fan's arm. "Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged."
After he finished speaking, he contacted his men. "Attention all groups, spread out in place once you are in position, and make sure the encirclement does not let any fish escape."
"Also, D Group has discovered surveillance equipment, and there may be more in other directions. Everyone, stay hidden and don't show yourselves. Wait for my orders!"
Watching Wu Guodong there, 'gesturing wildly'.
At this point, Lin Fan was no longer able to help, so he thought of finding a place to hide.
Looking at the big tree in front of him, with its lush branches and leaves, his first reaction was to climb up and hide, but... for some reason, he had a feeling that 'this place is not good'.
"The passive skill is active again?"
"Looks like this spot won't work, I need to find another place..."
What kind of passive ability is this?
Lin Fan wasn't entirely sure, but he knew that cultivators had an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Since he was being 'passively' warned, this place was definitely not a safe place to stay.
Then... this guy planned to hide on a big rock, and when he lay down there, there would definitely be no problem.
In the end, it was still a warning.
"Hey?"
Lin Fan's expression changed slightly. "It seems that this time, it might not be so simple."
They moved to a different location, and this time everything was fine. Lin Fan quietly 'hid himself' and prepared to see how things would develop next.
Under Wu Guodong's arrangement, all the police officers arrived at the designated location, and the encirclement was completed!
"The current situation is uncertain; it's not certain that those drug dealers are inside, so... we need to lure them out."
"Colleagues down the mountain, turn on the alarm, the louder the better!"
"Everyone else, be extremely careful. If any suspects show up and are carrying weapons... you may shoot them at any time!"
"Yes!"
Ugh!!
The words fell.
Down the mountain, alarm bells blared!
