Jack was right.
These men who had emerged from the snow, after tripping their snowmobiles with rough ropes, were the ambushing soldiers from the Eastern Lands.
"Leave them alive!"
Qin Zhou, still limping from his leg injury, his voice cracking as he went through puberty, sounded particularly sharp, "Jing Hongye, Tie Yuan! You are not allowed to harm them. I want them alive."
After Prince Gao Ling left, Qin Zhou and Chu Yingying had taken over his mission of rescuing and blocking their compatriots.
In just a few days, they had intercepted six people.
The average age of these six was a mere nineteen years old.
Each of them, armed with a knife (the outermost perimeter of the snowfield had enemy sentries, screening all those carrying firearms), and with heads perched on their shoulders, dared to come and cause trouble.
This was the new generation of the Eastern Lands!
They had all been apprehended by Qin Zhou.
Having been in combat with the enemy for a few days prior, Qin Zhou, without question, became their leader.
Everyone had to obey his command.
This gave Qin Zhou an indescribable sense of pride.
He felt that life was incredibly meaningful.
Lying in the ice and gnawing on snow here was far better than lying in the arms of starlets and indulging in a life of debauchery.
The limping leader issued his orders, and Jing Hongye and the others certainly did not dare to disobey.
Soon, everyone had captured James and Jack alive.
And it took them less than three minutes to clean up the scene of the overturned vehicles.
At least, from the enemy drones in the sky, it would appear as if nothing was amiss here.
"Quick, quick, drag them inside."
"Don't leave any supplies behind."
"Damn it, why didn't these two idiots bring any alcohol when they left the camp?"
Amidst the clamor of voices, this group of new recruits dragged James and the other man like dead dogs towards the slope.
At the slope, the pit originally discovered by Prince Gao Ling had to be expanded as the number of people increased.
Moreover.
Qin Zhou, to prevent a sudden enemy appearance, had also dug small pits on either side of the main camp pit.
These were for sentry duty and mutual defense.
In short.
This group of new recruits, with Qin Zhou and Chu Yingying (aged 21) included, whose average age barely reached twenty, had fully utilized the skills inherited from their ancestors under harsh conditions.
Even if they were discovered by the enemy, it would come at a most devastating cost for the enemy to annihilate them.
Furthermore.
Before Prince Gao Ling left, he had repeatedly instructed them, "If the situation turns bad, run for your lives!"
Because the enemy possessed the most advanced high-tech weapons, confronting them head-on would undoubtedly be the most foolish course of action.
Relying on the terrain and engaging in guerrilla warfare was the most correct approach.
"Speak!"
Qin Zhou placed one foot on James's chest and commanded sternly, "Speak, what were you doing?"
"We, we were going home."
James no longer possessed the domineering aura he had when ambushing reinforcements. His pupils flickered uncontrollably.
No one fears death.
Anyone who does not fear death must be mentally unsound.
And those who knowingly march towards certain death for a greater cause are heroes!
James and the others fought for money, and there was no trace of "greater cause" in their bones. Therefore, they lacked spiritual support. Once captured by the enemy, their former dominance and ferocity vanished.
"Going home?"
Qin Zhou scrutinized him, "Why were you deserting in the first place?"
Ten minutes later.
Qin Zhou and the others understood why James and the other man were deserting.
This was primarily because Qin Zhou and the others were not allowed to carry anything that could prove their identity, nor any communication devices.
Once they made contact with their country—
If they were located, the consequences would be devastating.
Without mobile phones, their information would be severely limited.
"Bai Du Niao is killing people and exterminating clans again?"
Qin Zhou burst into laughter, "Good, so ruthless! Ha, haha."
Seeing their leader roaring with laughter, Tie Yuan, Jing Hongye, and the others naturally joined in.
For a moment.
Inside the small pit, it was as if a pack of wolf cubs were howling at the moon.
This terrified James and Jack, making their eyes turn yellow.
They did not believe these wolf cubs would let them go.
But if they didn't try—
What if God blessed them!?
So.
Whatever Qin Zhou asked them, they answered without reservation. Their cooperative attitude was exemplary.
They even voluntarily offered to provide basic information on the 111 members of the Rhode Group.
"Very good."
Qin Zhou praised, while Chu Yingying, who was also skilled in computers, used Jack's phone to record all this information. Not only that, she also created a detailed table.
"Think carefully again, is there anything else you've missed?"
Qin Zhou smiled and took the initiative to offer James and the other man cigarettes, even enthusiastically helping them light them.
James and the other man saw this—
Oh, God is blessing us!
Then they began to rack their brains and cooperate even more.
Finally, they could no longer recall any valuable intelligence.
Qin Zhou's smile gradually faded.
He faintly commanded, "Jing Hongye, you rookies, use these two to practice. If you don't get your hands dirty, are you still men?"
James and the other man were greatly alarmed—
Jing Hongye and the others, after a moment of stunned silence, then scrambled forward, dragging out these two unfortunate souls abandoned by God.
At this moment, the regret in James and the other man's hearts was immeasurable.
Even if they expressed it, who would care!?
"Qin Zhou, you said that getting your hands dirty makes you a man."
Chu Yingying suddenly asked, "Does that mean that I, who have personally killed an enemy, am not a woman, but a man?"
Qin Zhou was taken aback.
"Ahem, Yingying, you might have misunderstood," he coughed and said seriously, "Your task is to use the phones of these two unlucky devils to upload this information online."
Once the basic information of the 111 members of the Rhode Group (whether dead or alive) was posted online, many people would see it.
Among these people, Bai Du Niao would surely be included!
Bai Du Niao, who was currently carrying out acts of extermination in Europe, what would happen after seeing the basic information of these people?
They would surely—
Kill!!!
Even if they couldn't kill all of them immediately.
More "Bai Du Niao" would definitely appear, assisting them in launching a brutal feast of extermination across Europe and America.
Previously, no one had thought of using the method of "surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao" to break the enemy's "surrounding the point to lure reinforcements."
This was why Prince Gao Ling and others had rushed here one after another, like moths to a flame, allowing Rhode and the others to reap considerable rewards.
Until the appearance of Bai Du Niao!
Prince Gao Ling and others suddenly realized that the solution to the Black Water crisis was not solely by rushing in like moths to a flame.
However, a new problem arose.
No one knew where Rhode and the other 111 individuals came from.
And the two clans exterminated by Bai Du Niao were just the two most active individuals.
Now.
According to God's will, James and Jack had sold everyone out completely.
So, once this list was uploaded online, more "Bai Du Niao" would surely appear, searching the world for the families of these individuals.
Every scene of atrocity would bear a single message.
A single bird would be left behind.
Blood for blood—
Bai Du Niao!!!
