The sudden explosion almost blew up the villa as a whole, but fortunately, Shen Lang only sent a shadow over before, and the rest of the people gathered in the distance of the villa, so they were not harmed.

But the shadow of the rapid retreat......

There were a few places on his body, which were hit by the broken pieces of wood rolled by the air waves, causing some bleeding, but it was only a minor injury, and it did not affect his combat ability much.

"I'll go."

This time, before Shen Lang could give an order, Zenobia, the only woman in the team, walked out, took out the two pistols in her arms, and walked towards the burning villa.

Such a leisurely and calm posture, as if he was not here to fight, but to take a walk, made Shen Lang, who wanted to stop talking, not speak in the end.

Approaching the villa, Zenobia quickly entered the villa, and after a while, she appeared in the broken doorway, making a gesture to indicate that there was no one inside.

"No one?"

Shen Lang waved his hand, and the heavily armed mercenaries behind him fanned out in the form of a tactical group to surround the villa, and then launched a search around.

Shen Lang and Shadow immediately stepped into the villa, and sure enough, after scanning the interior of the house with flames, they did not see the target.

According to the information that the shadow said earlier, not only did their target not decay, but it also expanded to three people, which is by no means good news, especially when the target has disappeared inexplicably.

"Could it be hiding somewhere?"

After a little thought, Shen Lang condensed his gaze and searched the interior of the house.

The protruding buckle in the basement did not hide people's eyes, but after a while, Shen Lang confirmed that there was a basement underneath.

Is the target hiding underneath?

It seems so.

Shen Lang's eyes signaled, the shadow nodded, squatted down and pulled the iron buckle, and pulled it out. There was no movement.

I think it's locked from the inside, and it can't be opened with this method.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a plank after all. When the mercenaries who had returned outside in vain returned, someone brought a crowbar and pried the plank open in a few strokes, revealing the pitch-black steel plate underneath.

There is actually a steel plate set up underneath!

Obviously, it is impossible to pry the steel plate open with a crowbar. Someone got a hammer from the trunk of the car, and it took a lot of effort to break the lock inside the steel plate, which had been delayed for more than five minutes.

"If there's no one in there......"

Shen Lang muttered, so a delay of five minutes is enough for the other party to leave here, especially since this is still the home field that the other party is familiar with.

At the entrance of the dark basement, no one dared to go down lightly, but fortunately, a few high-power flashlights were quickly brought and shone down. As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of weapons and equipment, like an arsenal.

"Huh, no one?"

One of the mercenaries exclaimed, at least in the light, that there was indeed no shadow of anyone in sight.

"No one?"

With a wave of his hand, several mercenaries and shadows walked down and searched the basement.

"There's a hole here!"

When Bernie and the others left. The cave was not disguised, so after walking down. Several people immediately discovered the deep entrance to the cave.

A mercenary with an assault rifle cautiously approached the entrance of the cave, and was about to take a closer look when his body suddenly shook, and he was grabbed by the shoulder by the shadow behind him, and forcibly pulled back.

"There...... Note ......"

"What?"

The mercenaries were a little puzzled at first. But following the shadow's instructions, he immediately saw that at the entrance to the cave, a silver thread was hidden between the arms boxes, and if anyone approached and did not notice, the silver thread would be cut off with one kick.

Apparently. Finding this unusual silver thread in this place, what kind of consequences will form if it is broken, is definitely not a good thing.

The mercenary's face turned pale, knowing that he had walked on the line of death.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Lang also followed, and when he saw that several people had bad faces, he couldn't help asking.

"There, you can't chase it."

The shadow shook his head, pointed to the cave, and said, "There should be a lot of traps. ”

"Is it a treacherous thunder?"

It is not an easy task to eliminate the treacherous mines in this small place, and no one knows what traps will be waiting for later people to enter the cave.

"Can you catch up?"

Shen Lang groaned a little and asked.

"It takes an indefinite amount of time."

The shadow didn't say that it was impossible, but that it was going to be an uncertain time, which obviously needed to be determined according to the length of the cave and the number of traps.

"Tell someone to come and try it first, let Zenobia stay here, and you and I will be with you."

Shen Lang quickly gave the order, and a team of people stayed here to clear the trap and enter the cave to follow the traces, while he, the shadow, and two mercenaries searched from the outside.

Just because a tunnel can't be too long underground, the target will naturally go out from the neighborhood and return to the surface, and all they have to do is find the traces of their exit.

Although this is unlikely.

The first is that there are too few people to search for the eight directions at all, and the second is that it is not certain whether there are other means and ways to target.

Searching along the woods behind the villa, the shadow stepped on the fallen leaves and snow of the woods with a knife on his back, barely making a sound, and he stepped straight into the woods without a flashlight or thermal imager, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Shen Lang asked the two mercenaries to choose another direction, telling them to warn if they found something, and he also chose a direction and walked forward.

In the dense woods of the winter night, there was silence, except for the faint sound of snorting from stepping on the snow, Shen Lang did not hear any other movement, as if in such a cold weather, even those small animals were nowhere to be hidden.

Soon, Shen Lang walked out of the woods and came to the lake.

This small lake has been completely frozen in such weather, Shen Lang circled around the lake, and after finding no clues, he had to reluctantly return the same way.

Not long after he returned to the villa, the shadows and mercenaries from the other two directions also came out of the woods one after another, and just by looking at that, he knew that he must have gained nothing like him.

The cunning and difficult nature of the target exceeded Shen Lang's expectations.

"What's going on?"

Extinguishing the flames burning in the villa, Shen Lang came to the basement entrance to inquire about the progress.

"Three deceitful mines have been removed."

Zenobia's tone was flat.

"Try to speed it up."

Shen Lang looked down at the time, even if it was located in a remote place, just in case, they had better evacuate before dawn, otherwise if the target reported to the police at will, the police who followed behind would be enough to give them a headache.

Walking out of the villa, Shen Lang took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Yang's number.

"Toot toot...... How's it going? ”

Chen Yang's deep voice came from hundreds of kilometers away through his mobile phone.

"Boss, the target didn't succeed."

Shen Lang was uneasy.

"Oh, is there something unexpected?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Yang's voice was consistently flat, and he didn't seem to be so annoyed, which made Shen Lang breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, something unexpected happened."

Shen Lang knew that Chen Yang didn't like long speeches, so he quickly finished telling everything in the most concise language.

"Yes......"

Chen Yang said: "If you don't find anyone, you can come back first." ”

"Huh? But...... Boss, isn't that ......?"

If he couldn't find anyone, he went back, and Shen Lang was a little surprised.

"It won't help you stay there...... Naturally, I have another way, by the way, you come back, but Wang Rui's side told them to stay at the border, if the target wants to flee to Mexico, then it is the best. ”

"Well, okay, boss, I'll tell Wang Rui about them."

Hanging up the phone, Shen Lang pondered for a while, but he didn't figure out what method Chen Yang planned to use to find his target again.

However, the boss is his boss, and as a subordinate, sometimes he just needs to follow orders, and it is better not to guess too much about what the superior thinks.

Shaking his head and throwing the speculation out of his mind, Shen Lang stayed outside for more than ten minutes before he was notified inside, and the traps had almost been eliminated.

A team of five people had chased after them from the tunnel.

After almost half an hour of delay before and after, Shen Lang didn't have much hope that he would be able to catch up with the target.

Sure enough, the team chased into the tunnel, and after a few dozen minutes of radio contact from a kilometer away, they found another exit, and did not find the target.

The length of the tunnel is impressive, but it is not surprising that many places inside the tunnel have not been excavated by hand, but have been made by using the cracks in the mountain.

Obviously, the target was far away from them when they cleared the trap!

So this operation was doomed to be in vain.

Shen Lang walked into the car with a calm face, and the two mercenaries behind looked at each other, one picked up the oil drum and poured it into the villa, and the other picked up the lighter, stood in the distance and threw it at the villa, and the flames that burst into flames instantly enveloped the entire villa, so that the fire that had just been extinguished was burned again.

"Whirring ......"

The cold wind blew, and the two SUVs carried everyone along the same road and began to return.

However, one of the SUVs turned to the town at the fork in the road, while Shen Lang and the others returned to Los Angeles. This is Shen Lang's idea, the third stranger who lives here will definitely go to the town to purchase daily necessities, then the people in the town must have a certain understanding of that person, and investigating the other party's information will help find out their traces.

What's more, maybe the other party will return to the town?

Although this is very unlikely, unless the opponent is kicked in the head by a donkey...... And more than once. (To be continued......)
