Rebirth: Join the Army with a System

After the few people separated, Li Tianhua went towards the south alone.

Through his past life memories, Li Tianhua knew that Ma Liang was eventually captured in Taibai Mountain, but he was not sure where exactly.

So, now he can only rely on his luck.

As for whether he could find it, Li Tianhua had no idea.

Li Tianhua walked for two hours and it was already noon.

He had been out since around five in the morning, and nearly six or seven hours had passed since then, without a drop of water. Li Tianhua looked up at the sky and decided to take a break and start looking again.

Afterwards, Li Tianhua took out the walkie-talkie and reported the situation on his side.

"Squad Leader Li, is Squad Leader Li here?"

Soon there was an echo from the intercom.

"Yes, please speak!"

Li Tianhua said somewhat depressedly:

"I haven't found anything yet. I plan to take a break and search again."

Li Qiang knew the reason. Finding people is a tiring job. He smiled and said:

"Okay, remember to gather at the designated location before 8pm."

Li Tianhua responded:

"alright, got it."

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Li Tianhua took out compressed biscuits and mineral water from his backpack and started eating casually.

While chewing, Li Tianhua saw the state of the compressed biscuits in his hand.

The silver-white packaging inadvertently reminded him of the last time he ate compressed biscuits.

Li Tianhua still clearly remembers that it was given to him by his father when he was a child.

Thinking back to his previous life, he was ignorant and it was always his father who asked about and cared about him. He was wandering outside all year round and seldom went home, which resulted in his father still worrying about him all day long even at his old age.

Thinking of this, tears of regret inadvertently flowed from the corners of Li Tianhua's eyes.

Then I put away my emotions and silently decided that I would become the pride of my parents in this life.

After dinner, Li Tianhua took a short rest and then stood up to continue his search.

Finding a job did not cause much trouble for Li Tianhua, because this place was sparsely populated and few people passed by. In addition, it snowed heavily yesterday and there was a lot of snow on the road.

Therefore, he could easily tell whether there were any traces left by human beings around.

These traces can relieve a lot of his work pressure.

In the endless mountain forest, I don’t know how much time passed, but the sky gradually darkened.

At this time, Li Tianhua raised his hand to look at the time and found that it was almost seven o'clock.

Li Tianhua, who had searched in vain, could only go to the gathering place temporarily.

In order to get to the meeting point as soon as possible, Li Tianhua unknowingly sped up on the road.

But before Li Tianhua walked far, he suddenly discovered that there was a flashlight not far in front of him.

Li Tianhua murmured softly:

"This is……"

Then, Li Tianhua perked up instantly. It was out in the wilderness, and at night, so there shouldn't be many people around.

If someone...

There is a high probability that this is the goal of my trip.

In order not to alarm the target, Li Tianhua slowed down and walked forward carefully, trying to reduce the sound of his footsteps on the snow.

As we approached, we could faintly hear voices of conversation in the distance.

"Old Five, have you decided on the location?"

"Don't worry, Lao Liu. Mr. Qin brought me here once before. I remembered everything and even marked it!"

"Then why haven't we arrived yet after walking so far? Did you remember it wrong, Lao Wu?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? We're almost there, not far ahead."

"..."

Hearing these conversations, Li Tianhua's eyes narrowed instantly, thinking:

"That's not the person you're looking for!"

But in the middle of the night, what are these people still looking for in this deep mountain forest?

There must be some ulterior motive.

In order to find out the truth, Li Tianhua did not say anything, but followed them silently, intending to see what they were going to do.

Before they had walked far, the group of people in front stopped.

The one named Lao Wu pointed to the trees nearby and said:

"Look, the mark I made is right here. I even tied a red strip of cloth around it!"

The sixth one beside the fifth one said:

"Okay, Lao Wu, you have a really good memory. You can find it even in this desolate mountain. So where should we start now?"

Lao Wu said with a proud look on his face:

"That's right. Don't you see how many years I have been in this business? How could I not even remember the location?"

As he spoke, Lao Wu came to the tree, then walked about ten steps to the left. After he stopped, he stamped his feet and said again:

"Okay, this is it. Let's start digging from here. The big tomb is underground. If you want to find treasures, work quickly!"

After saying that, several people took out tools from their backpacks and started working.

Seeing this, Li Tianhua was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself:

"It turns out they are a group of tomb robbers!"

However, if he rushed forward alone, he would not be able to subdue those people unless he used a gun.

After thinking for a moment, Li Tianhua thought that those people would probably not be able to complete the work in a short time.

So he stepped back calmly.

Only after they walked away did Li Tianhua take out the walkie-talkie.

"Squad Leader Li, is Squad Leader Li here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qiang's voice came from the intercom.

"I'm here, please tell me if you need anything."

Li Tianhua pursed his lips and said:

"It's like this. I haven't found Ma Liang and Wang Feng yet, but I've discovered other things..."

Before Li Tianhua finished speaking, Li Qiang hurriedly asked on the intercom:

"Is there any danger in the situation?"

Li Tianhua quickly replied:

"Not yet. I found a group of tomb robbers here. They seem to be digging some tomb. I am not sure I can subdue them by myself. Do you think we should pay attention to this situation?"

After a moment's silence on the intercom, Li Qiang's voice came again.

"Wait a minute, I'll report the situation to my superiors."

……

On this side, after Li Qiang hung up the intercom, he immediately reported to He Beizhan.

"Captain He, Li Tianhua in our team has discovered an unexpected situation."

"We found a group of tomb robbers on the mountain. Now I want to ask you whether we should report to the relevant departments or directly carry out the arrest operation."

In most cases, such things are usually reported to the relevant departments, but they happened to be on duty here and discovered this kind of illegal behavior. As soldiers, they should stand up.

He Beizhan was silent for a moment. Then he said seriously:

"I know about this. Your team will rush to the scene now and control that group of people. I will contact the relevant departments now."

……

After three or five minutes, Li Qiang's voice was heard again on the intercom.

"Li Tianhua, did Li Tianhua receive it?"

Li Tianhua, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately replied:

"Roger that!"

Li Qiang didn't waste any time and said directly:

"Now you wait and keep an eye on those people, we'll be there soon!"

Hearing this, Li Tianhua felt relieved and replied:

"Ok, I see."

After receiving the reply message, Li Tianhua immediately packed up his things and went to the vicinity of the group of tomb robbers again to observe their situation.

As the distance got closer, Li Tianhua slowed down his pace, for he was afraid that the noise would be too loud and alarm the people inside.

After a while, Li Tianhua finally stopped less than 200 meters away from the group of tomb robbers.

Then, he looked at it again.

In this cold winter, looking at the people working hard and sweating profusely, Li Tianhua couldn't help but secretly admire this group of tomb robbers.

They were indeed professional tomb robbers. In just a short while, they had dug a hole nearly half a meter deep. Each of them wielded the small shovel in his hand very quickly, as if it was equipped with a motor.
