Chapter 251 Contact Code
Fang Xiaoguo: "Under the captain's care, our group survived without any casualties until the night before yesterday, when the captain and his teammates went out to gather information and find food for everyone.
Not long after they left, a patrol team found the sewer where we were staying.
This kind of situation happened frequently during the five days we were hiding, and everyone had learned to avoid it skillfully.
But that night, someone touched the manhole cover and it was discovered.”
Tu Shan sighed. It couldn't be a coincidence. It must be the work of a traitor.
No, that person is a traitor, so how can he be so straightforward? Aren't traitors all about psychological warfare?
"Didn't you see who made the noise?"
Fang Xiaoguo and the other two shook their heads. In fact, they didn’t think much about it at the time and just thought it was an accident.
But after being locked up for the past two days, they no longer think so.
They had no idea whether the other party was so blatant in causing trouble because they were confident or had just given up, but they knew one thing: there really was a traitor. Even if they didn't want to believe it, they had to accept this uncomfortable answer.
Tu Shan was speechless for a second, then asked, "So, did you guys agree on a code word for contacting each other in the event that you get separated? If so, I can first find those who are hiding on their own. It's not safe for them to be out there alone. I think you know the chaos of a lawless place better than I do."
The three of them were silent at the same time, but they were actually still questioning.
Tu Shan was not annoyed: "Or, do you still remember who was taken away by whom? You can describe the characteristics of those people to me, and I can go and rescue them first."
The three of them felt that they had been petty and felt a little guilty.
Chi Xuanxuan: "Third sister, I'm sorry, we really can't afford to lose. It's not easy for us to get to this point.
The people behind the scenes used all sorts of tricks to catch us. We had already been through a lot before the captain and his men picked us up. It's no exaggeration to say we narrowly escaped death."
Everyone in the returning group is eager to go home. In order to go home, they have almost given up everything. No one can afford to lose.
Tu Shan nodded in agreement: "I understand, don't worry, I'm a very generous person, I usually don't get angry, and when I get angry I won't hit good people.
You doubt me because you haven't realized the charm of Third Sister yet. One day, you will be completely captivated by her."
Three people...
Fang Xiaoguo: "We have an agreed-upon code for communication, which is a book of ancient poetry that we have both read.
Almost every one of us knew it by heart, and when we needed to communicate in secret, we would say the page and the row and column position of the word we wanted to express, expressing it in the form of longitude and latitude.
Tu Shan was silent for a moment, quite particular.
"The traitor also knows?"
Fang Xiaoguo: "That's impossible. All of us who know the code are trustworthy."
Okay, Tu Shan didn't comment on this.
"Recite the book to me."
Three people...
"doing what?"
Tu Shan: "Looking for someone? I don't know how to find the contents of the book. Should I bring you three burdens with me?"
Three people...
Chi Xuanxuan was skeptical: "Can you remember it?"
Tu Shan boasted: "I not only have a photographic memory, but I also remember everything I hear. My abilities are beyond your imagination."
The three of them were skeptical and recited it intermittently.
After Tu Shan remembered everything, she asked again, "Did you see who was holding the compatriots who were taken away?"
Neither Chi Xuanxuan nor Fang Xiaoguo saw it.
The middle-aged man who had been silent the whole time said, "I saw it."
The man's voice was hoarse, as if there was a razor blade in his throat. It was hard to hear and he seemed to be having a lot of effort.
Fang Xiaoguo explained: "Xiao Ding's throat was injured."
Tu Shan nodded and looked at the tall, honest-looking middle-aged man. No wonder he rarely spoke, and when he did, he only uttered simple syllables. "Can you briefly describe the main characteristics of those people? I'll go back and look for them."
Ding Ming nodded: "There was a one-eyed man, and they took two people away.
There was a group of very tall and thin people who took one person away.
There was also a naked, hairy, burly man who took the rescue team members away.
Tu Shan frowned. If the returning members were taken away, they might still be alive, but if the members of the rescue team were taken away, they would be in danger.
"I just saw a cave on the cliff. The cabin won't be safe for long, so I'll take you to the cave to hide. It's just right for you to keep Mr. Chi company. I'll bring you food later.
Hide you guys so I can go rescue people, or I’ll be caught again and have to make another trip.”
Even though they know they are weak, they will still be hurt when you speak so bluntly.
The weak have no say, so it doesn't matter how the three of them are arranged. They nodded and said, "It's okay for us. Please, Third Sister, please make sure to rescue everyone. Of course, you should also pay attention to your own safety."
Tu Shan waved her hand, threw the vines, and threw the three people into the cave.
She had explored the cave and found it was clean and safe. It should be a cliff eagle's nest, as there were still dry grass and branches inside that had been used to build the nest.
I don’t know if it was abandoned or the cliff eagle died, but this place hasn’t been visited for some time.
After sending the people in, Tu Shan put some vines to cover the entrance of the cave to prevent the cliff eagles from coming back and discovering the intruders and killing the three people.
He went to the mountains, found some edible wild fruits, ripened them, brought them into the cave, and then left.
In the wooden house, Brother Ba came back and saw Tu Shan was alone. He didn't ask where the three people had gone. It was best if they were not there.
"The Yanyu are now frantically searching the entire city for the arsonist. Most of the castle has been burned down, dozens of people have died, and many are injured.
However, Boss Yanyu is fine."
Tu Shan was disappointed for a second: "Let them look for it. First, help me find out whose family these people with these characteristics belong to."
Brother Ba has become accustomed to being used by Tu Shan, so he will no longer resist and will help with the work without complaint.
The characteristics of the three people are very obvious. Brother Ba really has some skills. He doesn't need to ask. As soon as Tu Shan describes him, he knows who he is.
"Super Association, Country A Powers, Eagle."
After saying that, Brother Ba stared at Tu Shan blankly: "What are you going to do?"
Tu Shan raised her eyebrows: "Of course I'm going to ask for someone."
Brother Ba was silent for a moment: "Once you show up, Yanyu will definitely know that it was you who rescued them and burned down their castle."
Tu Shan curled her lips: "If I don't go, won't they guess it's me? However, I'm going to kill people next. Brother Ba, you take the brothers and hide away to avoid being accidentally hurt."
Brother Ba frowned, his face full of disapproval: "If you want to save people, you can do it secretly, just like these three. Why make a big deal out of it? It won't benefit you.
Although they might guess it's you, wouldn't it be better to delay it for a while?"
Tu Shan smiled as if she had suddenly realized something: "Really? Fine, then I'll go steal. Brother Ba, it's not very safe here. Take the brothers and find a safer place. And help me prepare some more medicine and food."
Brother Ba always felt that it sounded weird. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
After hesitating, he said, "I can go with you."
Tu Shan waved her hand: "No, you are too weak."
Brother Ba was so angry that he turned around and left, so he didn't say anything unnecessary.
