Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Discovering the Underground Tunnel

Huo Jingrui sprinted to the infirmary. Inside, many people looked terrified, their faces pale. Some pregnant women were crying continuously; others were comforting those beside them. He grabbed a nurse. "Where is Doctor Chu’s wife?"

The nurse, who had just been transferred from the commune health center, responded, "Who are you looking for?"

Just as Huo Jingrui was about to ask again, Yunyi poked her head out from a nearby consultation room. "Jingrui, I’m here."

The moment Huo Jingrui saw Yunyi, the oppressive anxiety he felt finally eased. They exchanged a nod from a distance, then each returned to their duties.

Yunyi continued her critical task of detoxification. Meanwhile, Huo Jingrui discussed matters with Qiao Shaoguo and the others who had followed him. "We need to bring more people to the infirmary," Huo Jingrui said. "I’m afraid they might strike again, especially since this area is now so crowded."

Qiao Shaoguo nodded. "You’re right. I’ll have the security team send more people over shortly."

Huo Jingrui, looking thoughtful, gazed in the direction opposite to where the attackers had fled. He addressed the personnel from the Armed Forces Department, "Send people to search that area. Check carefully for any signs of an underground passage."

One of them nodded. "Alright, I’ll take some people over immediately."

Subsequently, the entire security team, Public Security officers, and personnel from the Armed Forces Department conducted a thorough sweep of Hua’an Farm Reclamation. They paid particular attention to the area Huo Jingrui had indicated, searching it meticulously.

Sure enough, they found an underground tunnel.

Following the tunnel, they found it branched off. Investigations revealed one path led to the mountains behind the farm, another to the regimental headquarters, and a third, surprisingly, to the cafeteria.

The personnel carrying out the search became uneasy. How long had these tunnels been in existence?

「Elsewhere.」

As soon as his subordinates delivered their warning at the infirmary, the scar-faced man led his remaining men in a retreat through the underground tunnels. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He figured those people wouldn’t have retreated so easily; they were surely up to no good.
