Chapter 369: Chapter 369 The Nonexistent Chapter 369: Chapter 369 The Nonexistent The two individuals’ behavior was very strange, causing one to unexpectedly feel suspicious.
Especially when the two looked around vigilantly and suddenly noticed Bai Xiao concentrated on observing them from the rocks above, it seemed to give them quite a scare.
Their expressions turned tense, not to mention incredibly cautious, with one of the comrades’ fingers resting directly on the trigger of a semi-automatic rifle, seemingly terrified by Bai Xiao’s sudden appearance.
“Comrade, where are you heading? Why don’t you come up and take a break, have some water?” Bai Xiao called out warmly.
The soldier by the tunnel below couldn’t help but glance at Bai Xiao. What’s gotten into Doctor Bai today? He was never this enthusiastic before; even when they went to the hospital for a checkup, he was a man of few words. And now he was suddenly so attentive to two comrades from a friendly unit?
Has the sun risen from the west?
The two at the bottom exchanged glances, and the one who appeared to be an officer shook his head quickly, “No, thanks, comrade, we have an urgent mission and shouldn’t disturb you!” Saying this, they quickly walked towards the path at the end of the tunnel.
Bai Xiao called out loudly after them, “Comrades, you can’t go that way; there’s a guard post set up over there and the password for the shift change is different now. Didn’t your leader tell you?”
While speaking, he winked at the vigilant comrades. The two soldiers looked at Doctor Bai, and to their surprise, Doctor Bai was winking at them?
Isn’t Doctor Bai supposed to be Captain An’s fiancée?
What kind of move was this?
Is she trying to make Captain An wear a green hat?
They couldn’t help but stand up straight, look forward unwaveringly, and grip their rifles tighter.
Bai Xiao felt disgusted inside.
Don’t they have brains?
The two below clearly didn’t expect this twist and hesitated in their steps, exchanging looks.
Bai Xiao quickly walked up to the guarding comrades, smiling on his face, he whispered to the four men, “Those two are suspicious, I lured them over here. Pretend you haven’t noticed them, and once they come over, confiscate their rifles.”
The four men were dumbfounded.
One young comrade couldn’t hold back, “Doctor Bai, how could those two possibly be suspicious?” They hadn’t noticed anything amiss; the attire and behavior of the two were standard for the friendly forces, with no issues, and most importantly, their Mandarin was quite good! They spoke with a standard accent, slightly tinged with a southern dialect, but very credible indeed.
They had caught a few individuals who had tried to infiltrate the border before, speaking with an unmistakable dialect that immediately revealed they weren’t their own.
They had yet to come across spies who spoke Mandarin so fluently.
“Did you not hear what I just said?” Bai Xiao didn’t want to explain further. Was it possible that he had spoken too softly, and the comrades hadn’t heard him?
A comrade next to him suddenly realized.
“I get it now, we didn’t set up any guard post, nor do we have any secret passwords. If these people were ours, they wouldn’t have been fooled by what was said.”
The four men’s eyes widened as a sly smile spread across their faces, incredulous that someone would dare to approach the muzzle of their guns.
Just the thought of capturing spies from the other side filled them with excitement.
Usually, the enemy disguises themselves as border residents since life habits on both sides of the border are basically the same; there are no distinctive features to identify them by, making it difficult to tell them apart. Normally, they wouldn’t just allow border residents into the camp recklessly.
But, they tended to let their guard down much more with their own comrades. If, by chance, they let a few people in who then caused destruction, a few hand grenades would be enough to make everyone suffer.
A cold sweat broke out among the four men.
