It was night.
Inside the new recruit training base, everything was dark except for the watchtowers.
Occasionally, members of the Dragon Group on patrol would pass by, their flashlights cutting through the darkness.
Deacon Zhao and Deacon Zhu were hiding behind a wooden crate.
After the Dragon Group's patrol team moved away from the front, the two of them slipped out.
"Ouyang Feng lives on the third floor, the very last room."
"Let's be quick later, don't alarm anyone else."
In the darkness of the night, Deacon Zhao and Deacon Zhu tiptoed towards the new recruits' dormitory building.
As they walked, they kept looking around, afraid of being discovered.
Before coming, they had inquired about the patrol schedule around the dormitory building.
So they had timed it perfectly, ensuring they wouldn't be spotted.
They arrived smoothly at Ouyang Feng's door.
Just as Deacon Zhu, impatient, was about to push open Ouyang Feng's room door, Deacon Zhao next to him suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Wait."
Deacon Zhu turned his head in confusion, his eyes asking a question.
Deacon Zhao didn't speak. He looked around for a while before lowering his voice.
"Don't you think the journey here was a bit too easy?"
According to the information they had gathered, the patrols around the dormitory building were not lax.
They certainly wouldn't have let them pass so easily!
"You, you always overthink things. What's easy or not?"
"It must be because the fourth mission was completed, so the Dragon Group has relaxed their guard."
Deacon Zhu said dismissively, even thinking Deacon Zhao was too timid.
It was just that the Dragon Group's patrol was a little slow this time.
If they had been as strict as before, they wouldn't have had the chance to reach Ouyang Feng's door!
Hearing Deacon Zhu's words, Deacon Zhao actually wanted to believe him.
But for some reason, Deacon Zhao's eyelids kept twitching.
It felt as if something was about to happen!
After a moment of thought, Deacon Zhao said, "Let's wait for a bit. Let's see if there's any situation before we decide whether to act."
Hearing Deacon Zhao's words, Deacon Zhu became instantly annoyed.
This person was too cowardly!
Besides, it was a dark and windy night. If there were any schemes waiting for them, they would have revealed themselves by now.
Why wait until now?
Deacon Zhu glanced at the sky and warned, "Don't overthink. We've been standing at the door for several minutes. In this time, the deed would have been done!"
"It's already done, and you're only getting scared now, what's the use?"
"Listen to me, let's go in with one burst of energy, take care of that kid Ouyang Feng directly, and it will definitely be fine!"
Deacon Zhao secretly wanted to turn back.
After all, it was so quiet around, and with so few guards, it made him uneasy!
But Deacon Zhu had a point.
Opportunities were fleeting.
If he hesitated now, and had to deal with Ouyang Feng again, who knew how long it would take.
After all.
Ouyang Feng held a lot of evidence that was detrimental to them.
If it was too late and Ouyang Feng leaked it to the Dragon Group, they would be finished!
Thinking of this, Deacon Zhao nodded vigorously, and took out something like a tube from his chest.
He lit the front end and then inserted the burning part through the crack in the door.
The two of them waited quietly at the door for a while. When there was still no sound from inside, they exchanged a look and began to pry the lock.
The sound of lock picking was quite loud in the darkness.
Deacon Zhu nervously looked around, constantly urging Deacon Zhao to hurry.
The next wave of Dragon Group patrols would be coming soon!
Deacon Zhao was also in a frantic hurry, sweating profusely!
But some things couldn't be rushed.
The more anxious he became, the more clumsy his movements were.
Several times, Deacon Zhao almost dropped his screwdriver due to his trembling hands.
"Enough, stop rushing me, it's annoying." Deacon Zhao scolded in a low voice.
This time, Deacon Zhu dared not speak and distract him further.
He just stood by, blinking, looking quite ridiculous!
A short while later, a crisp "click" came from the lock.
Deacon Zhao's face lit up with joy.
It was open!
The two pushed open the door and tiptoed inside.
They saw a large person lying on the bed, asleep.
However, the person was covered by a quilt, so it was impossible to tell who it was.
"Should we confirm?" Deacon Zhao said cautiously, afraid that the person on the bed was not Ouyang Feng.
Then they would have killed the wrong person!
By this point, Deacon Zhu could no longer wait.
He just wanted to finish the job quickly and go back to rest.
So he said impatiently, "What's there to confirm? This is Ouyang Feng's room, who else could be lying on the bed but him!"
"Let's get it done!"
Saying this, Deacon Zhu, holding a dagger, slowly approached the person on the bed.
A beam of moonlight shone in through the window, illuminating the dagger in Deacon Zhu's hand, reflecting a cold gleam.
The person on the bed remained motionless!
Deacon Zhu aimed at the person's throat, raised the dagger, and then plunged it down with a fierce thrust!
Thud—
A muffled sound was heard.
Deacon Zhao had already been standing at the door keeping watch.
Hearing the muffled sound, he naturally assumed that the person on the bed had been killed by Deacon Zhu.
So, without looking back, Deacon Zhao said, "Confirm if it's Ouyang Feng on the bed, and then we'll leave."
After Deacon Zhao finished speaking, there was no response from behind him.
Instead, the sound of heavy footsteps gradually approached Deacon Zhao!
Deacon Zhao immediately felt that something was wrong, and a chilling sensation ran down his spine.
He immediately turned his head to look.
He saw that behind him stood a tall figure.
And Deacon Zhu, who had come with him, had already fallen to the ground!
Deacon Zhao's pupils instantly contracted, staring at the figure in front of him.
Everyone around held their breath, their hearts pounding.
"Who do you want to kill?"
Click!
The lights turned on, and Da Xiong's smiling face appeared before Deacon Zhao.
Instantly, Deacon Zhao felt a wave of dizziness.
Deacon Zhu's mission had failed!
The person lying on the bed was not Ouyang Feng at all, but Da Xiong!
Now, Deacon Zhao didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Happy that he had guessed correctly, that Ouyang Feng had indeed defected to Da Xiong.
It was only a matter of time before their secrets were revealed!
But sad that he had been caught!
Deacon Zhao glanced at Deacon Zhu on the ground and gritted his teeth.
He knew that if he didn't leave now, and Da Xiong started shouting, he wouldn't be able to escape.
