“No problem.”“I can handle it myself,” Lin Yi said.
“We’re all on the same team, boss, no need to stand on ceremony.”
Shao Jianfeng laughed and kicked Zhao Yunhu, “You go down first.”
“Damn you!”
“Haha, I’m here to join you.”
The two of them didn’t give Lin Yi a chance to refuse and entered the lake one after another.
Lin Yi did not delay any longer, and dove in with a splash.
The icy cold penetrated his clothes instantly.
But for the three of them, such an environment was bearable.
The visibility underwater was lower than what they had imagined.
Inside were many wispy substances, significantly affecting the ability to observe underwater conditions.
Holding a large breath, Lin Yi patted the shoulders of the two men, pointed in two directions, instructing them to separate.
Diving quickly, Lin Yi reached the lake bottom at a depth of more than twenty meters.
At the lake bottom, the light was scattered, causing brightness to be very low.
The floating wisps further severely affected vision.
Standing at the bottom of the lake, Lin Yi closed his eyes.
Listening to the sounds of the lake bottom.
Whoosh, whoosh——
Whoosh, whoosh——
Slightly strange sounds entered Lin Yi’s ears.
Yet, he could not confirm how these sounds were produced.
He couldn’t even determine the source direction of the sounds.
Lin Yi, with eyes closed, tried to walk underwater, attempting to find the direction the sounds were coming from.
The continuously strange sounds showed no signs that could be searched.
Even Lin Yi was helpless under such circumstances.
After walking underwater for two minutes, he stopped trying.
He glanced at Zhao Yunhu and Shao Jianfeng and began to float upwards.
At this moment, those slightly strange sounds ceased.
Lin Yi could not be sure if they truly disappeared or if it was due to his lack of focus.
But waves stirred in his heart, causing unrest.
After about a minute, the three of them simultaneously surfaced.
As soon as they broke the surface, Sui Qiang and the others pulled them up.
Sitting on the ground, they breathed heavily.
“What’s the situation down there?”
“Didn’t find anything,” Lin Yi said:
“But such an inspection is not thorough, we still need professional equipment.”
“I ordered three sets of diving equipment earlier, but it’ll take a few hours to arrive.”
“Let’s wait,” Lin Yi said:
“You guys go check other areas, keep an eye on the surroundings, and conduct exploration once the equipment arrives.”
“Got it.”
Sui Qiang took Yu Siying and Luo Qi and hid in cover.
Lin Yi, with Shao Jianfeng and Zhao Yunhu, returned to the car to dry their clothes.
Ordinarily, if he had diving equipment, Lin Yi would eagerly go down to investigate first thing.
But the slightly strange sound from the lake bottom made him hesitant to try rashly.
“Boss, did you two hear a whoosh whoosh down there?” Zhao Yunhu asked.
“You heard it too?”
The two nodded, Shao Jianfeng said:
“It was intermittent, I didn’t hear it clearly. If Hu Zi hadn’t mentioned it, I’d have ignored it.”
“I was just mentioning it casually, honestly, I can’t be sure what it was,” Zhao Yunhu said:
“But below, I saw two corpses, only the leg bones remained.”
“Presumably, it was someone who disappeared earlier, and the fish inside devoured the bodies.”
“These phenomena are speculative now, concrete details will have to wait for professional equipment,” Lin Yi said.
“Currently, with GP4 injured, Kaijie Group should be preparing, they might send someone else to take over,” Shao Jianfeng said:
“If they do arrive, they’d reach here quickly, leaving us little time for investigation.”
“Not necessarily,” Lin Yi said:
“Sending GP4 was to deceive others, dispatching other combat squads might alert large organizations. Our task wouldn’t proceed smoothly.”
Zhao Yunhu nodded, “It’s indeed not a good sign. If they’re taking action, Xiao Bing should alert us.”
“Let’s drive back and check on GP4’s situation.”
“Understood.”
Zhao Yunhu drove back to the small town.
The three changed into dry clothes, disguised themselves with wigs, colored contacts, and masks, showing only their eyes, looking like foreigners at a glance.
The small town had a population of less than 10,000.
No hospital, just a small clinic.
The three approached the clinic, spotting several cars at the entrance.
“Boss, they haven’t left yet, these are their cars.”
“You wait here, I’ll go inside to check, keep in touch.”
“Understood.”
Lin Yi glanced around, then circled to the back of the clinic.
Soon he figured out the layout of the first floor.
There was an office, an instrument room, and a simple operating room.
No hospital beds were visible.
The left side of the first floor was the office area. With the corner of his eye, he glimpsed inside.
Found an empty office.
Took out a dagger, pried open the window.
In seconds, he leaped inside.
There was a white coat on the chair. Lin Yi wore it.
It fit loosely, not really suitable, but could be worn with difficulty.
He also picked up a report for disguise, then calmly left the office, heading directly to the second floor.
The second floor was quieter, just as Lin Yi expected.
The entire floor consisted of wards.
As soon as he reached the top, two men in camouflage pants approached.
One of them had a scratch on his black vest, and his pants had several spots with mud stains.
They talked to each other, glanced at Lin Yi as he approached.
Lin Yi’s facial expression remained indifferent, glancing at the report in his hand, subconsciously looking into the wards, not paying them much mind.
As he passed, Lin Yi heard snippets of their conversation.
“When are they sending people over?”
Unfortunately, he heard only this, as they passed each other.
Lin Yi’s mind was clear; everything was as he predicted.
With such an incident, they’re seeking headquarters’ assistance.
Soon, Lin Yi found a relatively luxurious ward.
Equipped with a ventilator, the person inside was wrapped in bandages, still under anesthesia, in a coma.
There was another person, slightly better, but missing a right foot, presumably amputated, with red blood seeping from the gauze.
Lin Yi concluded they were likely the two injured GP4 operatives.
He looked around, ensuring no one noticed, then calmly walked inside.
