The man with a fierce face, about 40 years old, has passed the age of frivolity and strives to be steady in doing things.

People like him do not seek to make achievements but to avoid mistakes. After all, his duty is just that of a guard. If he can't even do this well, he will be of no use at all.

The young man next to him was only in his twenties. When he heard the captain's words, he immediately curled his lips in disdain.

"Boss, it's not as serious as you say. We are in the mountains here, hundreds of meters high in the sky. In broad daylight, who would notice me lighting a lamp?"

"Am I talking about lighting the lamp? I'm saying that you are not serious about your work and you are relying on luck!"

The boss is so arrogant.

I was doing this for this guy's good intentions, but he actually had the guts to talk back.

If this guy didn't have a good relative, I would definitely slap him a few times.

"I'm just saying a few words to you. I can't do anything if you don't want to listen. But you'd better remember that if something goes wrong, you will be the first one to suffer."

As he said this, he turned around and walked back. Under the thatched hut, there was actually an elevator that went directly to the stone wall of Tiger Peak.

As the man went down, the young man snorted coldly and slammed the table hard.

There was a snap.

The light on the table came on again.

The young man was slightly stunned, and was about to turn off the light in fear, but suddenly he remembered the captain's face and immediately changed his mind.

"What's there to be afraid of? This is a remote mountain. Who would come to a place like this to cause trouble?"

After saying that, the young man immediately put the chair down, turned on an audio clip of storytelling, and lay down on it leisurely.

The days pass slowly in the mountains, and there is nothing much to do on weekdays. They came here with great ambitions, but they never expected to end up as a gatekeeper.

He cursed in his heart, his eyelids drooping, and slowly fell asleep.

A moment later, he was fast asleep.

At this moment, a figure came to the door and looked into the house through the window beside the door.

If this person woke up, he would certainly be terrified, because this person was standing in the shadow of the light, and his face seemed to be filled with endless murderous intent.

Zhang Hao looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.

He had been acting for a long time on the cliff, and it turned out that his opponent was a fool?
If he had known that this person was sleeping, why would he have put on such a show?

Zhang Hao was about to break into the room when he suddenly froze.

There was some dust on the table, and now there were two handprints on it. One of them was similar to the young man in front of him, but the other one was not.

This palm print is very wide and has many wrinkles, which means that the person is quite old.

There should be two people here. Judging from the clarity of the palm print, this person has just left not long ago.

But Zhang Hao remembered that he didn't see anyone when he went up the mountain.

Did he come down the other side of the mountain, or could he fly?

Zhang Hao looked up and saw the sky was full of clear clouds without a trace of wind.

The other party might be an expert, but it is more likely that there is another mechanism in the mountain that can lead directly to the lower level.

The slight dissatisfaction that had just arisen in Zhang Hao's heart suddenly magnified again.

There were additional passages in the mountain, which meant that everything he did was not only useless, but also a waste of physical energy.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and suppressed his dissatisfaction. Then he looked at the man in front of him and said coldly:
"Boy, it's time to wake up."

Hearing this, the man touched his nose and seemed to be having a sweet dream that could not be awakened at all.

Zhang Hao saw this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and slapped the man on the forehead. The man screamed in pain, opened his eyes, looked forward angrily, and cursed:

"I just want to sleep for a while, can you please stop tormenting me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Zhang Hao looked at the young man with amusement and said with a smile:
"who are you talking to?"

He had just deduced that there was another person here, but he didn't expect it to be confirmed immediately.

The man looked at Zhang Hao in horror, his mind going blank.

How did this guy get up here?
This place is several hundred meters above the ground, surrounded by steep cliffs. Could it be that this person climbed up from the cliff?

How is this possible?
The cliff is extremely high, and even for professional rock climbers, the success rate is very slim.

They have tried it before and found that even if one becomes a world-class rock climbing expert, without the help of any tools, the success rate is less than 10%.

There are also some deliberately carved out fragile spots on the stone wall, which greatly increases the risk.

Why is this person in front of me here?
His mind was racing, as if trying to find an explanation, but at this moment, Zhang Hao raised his hand and slapped him hard, sending the man flying.

The man fell heavily to the ground, not daring to think any more. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically. When he looked up again, there was a hint of fear for survival in his eyes.

"Boss, please stop hitting me. I'll tell you what you want to know right away. Please spare my life!"

Zhang Hao nodded and sneered in his heart, wouldn’t it have been better if he had said this earlier? Is there any need to go through so much trouble?
Zhang Hao pointed to the notebook on the table and said calmly:
"What is this?"

Hearing this, the man immediately opened his notebook and began to explain.

It turned out that this notebook was his work log, which not only recorded what happened every day, but also recorded the specific time and name of each shift change.

When Zhang Hao heard this, he was immediately delighted, this thing is a treasure.

The work log not only helps him understand the daily situation here, but also some internal situations.

Zhang Hao pretended not to care and continued to ask a few more times without leaving any trace. He soon knew the specific situation of the place.

It turned out that this place was the real Tiger Peak, and the original entrance to Tiger Peak was indeed where Kuang Dao said, but Kuang Dao had obviously kept another thing in mind, and the location he left on the map was different from the real underground entrance.

If you go underground through the Tiger Peak entrance on the map, you will only enter an invincible underground cave.

With the numerous waterways in the cave, one can quickly get lost.

As long as Kuang Dao seizes the opportunity to escape, he can immediately block the stone door and trap the people holding him inside.

Zhang Hao cursed inwardly when he heard this. Kuang Dao was indeed a nuisance. This person had been keeping a close eye on him and had not revealed the secret until the very last moment. It was obvious that he was planning to do something bad to him at the last moment.

Zhang Hao continued to ask, in addition to Tiger Peak, there is another cave.

However, this cave has no name. According to what the young man said, among the three caves, only one belongs to Kuang Dao, and the remaining two actually belong to the Lord of the Evil Valley, but they are named after Kuang Dao.

Zhang Hao was slightly stunned and nodded thoughtfully.

I didn't expect that he misunderstood Kuang Dao. No wonder he didn't say anything. It turned out that these two caves had no direct relationship with him. I'm afraid that even Kuang Dao himself didn't know where the real entrance to Tiger Peak was.

If the fat man hadn't mentioned the lights on the cliff, none of them would have realized that there were people up there, and that there was a secret entrance on the top of the mountain that led to the real Tiger Peak.

"Call your boss over here. I have something to ask him."

Zhang Hao said lightly, and condensed a trace of earth energy in his hand. The earth energy turned into a dagger and pointed it at the young man's neck. As long as he dared to say no, Zhang Hao's dagger would pierce his neck and directly cut off his trachea.

The young man obviously wanted to resist a few more times, but seeing Zhang Hao's strange method of conjuring a dagger out of thin air, he was immediately shocked and stunned for a long while. He carefully pointed to the phone next to him and said:

"Boss, as long as I call the boss over, you will spare my life. Do you keep your word?"

He looked at Zhang Hao pleadingly, having completely forgotten the boss's instructions, and only wanted to sell out the boss as soon as possible in exchange for his life.

Zhang Hao nodded with a smile.

"You are of no use to me. Killing you would make my hands dirty. Stop talking nonsense and call out your boss."

The young man nodded vigorously, then walked to the phone and dialed a number.

A voice immediately rang out on the phone, with some dissatisfaction and anger.

"What's your matter? I just finished working overtime last night. Can't you let me relax for a while?"

"Boss, there's something wrong up there, please come over and take a look, I can't handle it alone."

The young man looked at Zhang Hao and spoke casually with a very respectful attitude, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

"You better not fool me, kid. If I find out you're playing tricks on me again, I'll definitely tell your brother."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone angrily.

The young man put down the phone, looked at Zhang Hao anxiously, raised his hands, and squatted down by the door.

This kid was sensible and knew what to do and what to do at the right time. After making the call, he immediately squatted aside and waited quietly instead of begging for mercy, which made Zhang Hao unhappy.

A moment later, there was a sound of the ground shaking.

Zhang Hao looked down and saw a vibration coming from the direction of the bedroom. Then the ground cracked and an escalator rose up.

Zhang Hao widened his eyes, quite shocked. He didn't expect that the mechanism here was actually a secret elevator.

The Tiger Peak is extremely tall. The 400-meter cliff has a diameter of more than meters. In other words, the inside of the cliff has actually been hollowed out long ago, and the Tiger Peak stone pillars on the outside are just a disguise.

This project cannot be completed in a day or two, and digging a cave above is extremely complicated.

Standing on the Tiger Peak and looking down, it is not only an excellent observation point, but also a defensive point that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. What is the origin of this mysterious organization?
Judging from the way they excavated Tiger Peak, they must have a deep relationship.

Infrastructure engineering, especially hollowing out a mountain, will take at least several years. During these years, the food, clothing, and resource allocation of the construction workers are all major matters that cannot be concealed.

Even if the border areas don't care about this place, they will not allow a mountain to be hollowed out.

For a moment, a small thing suddenly flashed through Zhang Hao's mind.

When he was going down the mountain, he saw a beautiful villa estate at the foot of the mountain. At that time, he was wondering why there was a villa estate that would definitely not be sold in this deep mountain forest?

At that time, someone told him that this villa estate was owned by major families, who used it to settle down and enjoy some benefits unique to the frontier.

What benefits are there in Frontier?
Zhang Hao racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

Could these families be related to this mysterious organization?
If there is no relationship, why would these families build a villa here that is absolutely impossible to live in?
If it is relevant, then their reason for building the villa would make more sense.

Because when these villas are built, a large number of special construction tools must be moved, and if one or two of these machines are missing, no one will notice it at all.

Building a villa complex is also a huge project and will not be completed for at least several years.

With the cooperation of these families, the excavation progress on Tiger Peak will definitely be accelerated and will not be made public.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhang Hao's mind, but he saw that the elevator door had already opened and a man walked out, cursing. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in front of his eyes, and a figure suddenly appeared.

He was horrified and tried to hide back in the elevator, but it was too late.

Before he could escape back into the elevator, a big hand suddenly grabbed his neck and pulled him up.

Zhang Hao grabbed the man's neck and shook him violently.

The opponent smashed back heavily onto the young man.

The two men stared at each other for a while, and then the man suddenly screamed and raised his hand to strangle the young man's neck.

The young man was not willing to be outdone, and the two soon started fighting each other. But after a while, they realized in wide eyes that they were both prisoners, so why should they continue fighting and killing each other?
"If I make it out alive, your brother will pay the price!"

"Think about how you can survive first. This boss promised me that he would let me go as long as I betrayed you. I am fine now, but you are in trouble."

The young man laughed coldly.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and he looked at the young man with gritted teeth.

He thought he was pretty good to this person, but he didn't expect that the other party would betray him directly.

"Are you the captain of the guard here, or the captain of internal security?"

Zhang Hao pointed to the workbench on the table.

Part of the work log that the young man gave him was written by the middle-aged man in front of him.

Through these logs, Zhang Hao can only see the time of observation every day. After all, this place is very remote and the observation point is extremely hidden. If it were not for the reminder from the fat man, no one would probably discover the problem here even after 20 years.

Security and guarding are two different jobs. The young man's eyes flickered slightly, and he wanted to say something immediately, but the middle-aged man immediately covered his mouth, looked at Zhang Hao flatteringly, and said:
“Boss, if you have anything to say, just ask me. I’m the captain, I know more than him, so what I say is more valuable.

You ask me, my life is more useful."

Hearing this, the young man suddenly became more excited and struggled desperately, but with his strength, how could he defeat the middle-aged man? (End of this chapter)
