Chapter 1380: Water Flow Behind An Ice Waterfall

The explosives were sent to the campsite before eight o’clock at night. Then, the engineering team dug 29 three-meter-deep ice holes on the ice and filled them with explosives. By the time they were almost done, it was already eleven o’clock.

The second team had already replaced the first team on duty, keeping an eye on the situation at the pond. Meanwhile, the man wearing sunglasses was checking the situation of the explosives. In the end, at this moment.., a player with the code name Parrot found him.

The man wearing sunglasses looked at the little girl behind Parrot and raised his eyebrows. “Where did you find her?”

“Behind a hillside. When I went there, I saw her sleeping there alone,”parrot said, “But she didn’t want to tell me why she was there. Uh… in fact, she didn’t want to answer any questions at all. However, there were some children’s items in the old man’s Cave. I guess they should be hers.”

“The Aborigines of this mountain?”The man in sunglasses nodded. He was too lazy to trouble a little girl, so he waved his hand and said, “Give her some food and water. When she’s full, send her back. Simon has been frozen in the lake by us. The others are irrelevant.”

“Okay,”said parrot.

However, just as he turned around and was about to leave with the little girl, he heard a cry from the engineering team. Then, he saw a person throw down the drill in his hand and stagger toward him.

Because the ice beneath his feet was too slippery, he ran too fast and even fell midway. However, he did not even bother to wipe the blood stains on his face. He stood up immediately and continued to run.

The man wearing sunglasses also realized that something might have happened at the pool. His heart sank. Before the engineering team player could reach him, he took the initiative to ask, “What’s going on?”

“We… We found something. We might need you to take a look.”

The man in sunglasses did not waste any time. He immediately went to the place where the engineering team had previously worked. The people on the other side had already stopped what they were doing and gathered together.

Seeing the man in sunglasses come over, the crowd took the initiative to open a path.

The man in sunglasses also saw the place they were surrounding. That was the last ice cave, and it was just in front of the frozen waterfall.

“What’s Wrong?”

A man pointed at the frozen waterfall and swallowed his saliva. “Here, there seems to be water behind.”

“So what if there’s water?”The man in sunglasses frowned. However, the next second, he thought of something and his expression changed. He quickly walked to the ice waterfall.

He found that there was a piece of ice on the frozen waterfall that was much thinner than the other parts of the waterfall. The other parts of the ice layer could not see the scene behind it, but this piece of ice layer could vaguely see the water flow behind it.

The man wearing sunglasses had sweat on his forehead. He looked around and then grabbed a hammer from a man’s hand and smashed it on the ice layer.

In the end, he only used one hammer to break the ice, and the water flowed out. The two people standing closest to him were washed down to the ground. The others barely managed to dodge, but they still looked a little embarrassed, their shoes and pants were wet.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew what had happened. Before this, the extremely cold ghost had frozen the entire pool, but for some unknown reason, it had not been able to freeze Simon, furthermore, Simon had secretly dug a tunnel under their noses. Using the cover of the ice waterfall, he had directly swam upstream from here.

But how did he do it? Especially this tunnel. During the excavation, not a single movement was heard. This was simply unbelievable!

Today, everyone had seen too many unbelievable things from Simon. They had even become somewhat numb. However, the man wearing sunglasses could not help but let out a curse and said, “Wake everyone up and get into battle mode immediately!”

Soon, even the first batch of people who had already crawled into their sleeping bags were woken up by their companions. They could not help but complain at first, but when they heard that Simon had escaped from the pool, they immediately woke up, they immediately put on their equipment and picked up their weapons again.

At this time, Extreme Cold Phantom also put down the tablet in his hand and came to the front of the ice waterfall. His expression was particularly ugly. After all, he was the one who had confidently said that the entire pool was frozen and Simon was dead for sure, however, the latter had already left the pool.

The people from the second front looked at polar spirit with a hostile gaze. It was because of this guy’s bewitchment that they had given up on the seahorse. In the end, not only did they not manage to get rid of Zhang Heng, they even lost the seahorse, furthermore, the seahorse was probably not far away from getting rid of Zhang Heng.

However, they knew that this was not the time to talk about this. The man in sunglasses had already ordered his men to release the remaining drones, but they did not find any suspicious figures around them.

Did Simon escape?

The man in sunglasses did not think so, because from the layout of the place, it was clear that the other party had already realized that they were coming. Since Simon did not choose to escape at that time, he had decided to prepare for the battle ahead of time, there was no reason for him to suddenly run away halfway. Furthermore, the battle between the two parties was a complete defeat for the pursuit team. They had suffered heavy losses, but they didn’t even manage to catch a glimpse of Zhang Heng.

But since the other party wasn’t here, where would he go?

The man in sunglasses thought for a moment, and then he finally thought of something. “Send a message to the two teams at the cave. Tell them to gather here as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

“No.”The Man in sunglasses reversed the order he had just given. “Don’t let them join us. Tell them to leave immediately. Be careful, don’t bump into Simon.”

The Man in sunglasses then received the news that the two teams at the cave had lost contact with them.

The other party moved faster than they had imagined. The man in sunglasses only thought of the other side, but the battle there had already ended. Where was Simon Now?

The man in sunglasses replaced himself in Simon’s position. He should have returned immediately after finishing off the people in the cave. He should have taken advantage of the fact that the majority of the troops here had not discovered that he had escaped and launched a sneak attack in the night, he tried his best to cause as much damage as possible, but Simon did not seem to have done so.

Of course, it could not be because he was afraid of having too many people. After all, during the day, Simon was not afraid even when he was surrounded. He was still calmly killing his way in and out of the encirclement. The man in sunglasses had no idea what Simon was thinking right now, however, he knew that the situation had completely changed. They were now the ones in danger. He couldn’t continue to follow Simon’s rhythm.
