The snowmobiles were parked about three or four miles from the base. Bai Yujing immediately contacted the base again, and this time it was Yellow Sea who answered the phone: "Yellow Sea, is everything really okay at the base?"
"Everything is normal at the base!" Yellow Sea replied immediately.
Bai Yujing shouted, "Yellow Sea, are you really in trouble? Where is Liu Xinwu? I want to speak with him!"
"Liu the Guide is very ill right now and cannot talk to you. White Collar Team, where are you? We can come out to assist you..." Yellow Sea quickly explained.
Bai Yujing responded, "Who is in charge at the base right now? Have them talk to me!"
"White Collar Team..."
"Have them talk to me; you just need to report!"
Bai Yujing had already confirmed that Yellow Sea was indeed in trouble. Liu Xinwu and Li Xiang had definitely fallen into the hands of the enemy. Lying on a peak, Bai Yujing looked far away at the faint lights of the base, but at that moment, it no longer belonged to his control.
There was silence on the other end of the line. After a while, a woman answered: "Hello, is this Bai Yujing, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Yujing picked up the phone: "I am Bai Yujing. Who are you?"
The woman immediately said, "Mr. Bai, please don't be so nervous. We came here to discuss a cooperation matter with you. My name is Catherine; I have met Mr. Bai before. Don't you remember?"
"Catherine?" Bai Yujing thought for a moment but still couldn't recall who she was.
Catherine quickly reminded him: "We had a friendly conversation at the airport!"
Bai Yujing suddenly remembered: "It's you! So those two who attacked me with bombs were also your people?"
Catherine replied immediately, "Those two were not our people. I belong to the CIA's National Secret Operations Department. Our goal has always been to cooperate with you, Mr. Bai. Violence and killing are not suitable for women, wouldn't you agree?"
"I think we need to have a discussion!" Bai Yujing said, suppressing his anger over the phone.
Catherine chuckled softly: "I would be very happy to discuss this. I wonder if Mr. Bai prefers to meet directly or..."
Bai Yujing interrupted, "You bring my people out, and I want half of the supplies from the base. I'll give you the address!"
Catherine immediately refused, "That's not possible. I can give you people, but nothing else. Besides, how do I know the address you gave me is real?"
Bai Yujing said, "I can take you there, but I need enough supplies for our return trip. Otherwise, the negotiation is off!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jun immediately said, "You can't be serious about negotiating with them. That's like trying to negotiate with a tiger; it's too dangerous. These people have no sense of morality or ethics!"
Zhu Wei also nodded, "You’re going to take them to the ruins? That's far too risky. You made this decision all by yourself without consulting us!"
Bai Yujing wiped the frost off his goggles. "There's no other way. Even if we abandon everything for our return, we still won't have enough supplies. The only option is to negotiate with them, and Liu Xinwu and Li Xiang are still in their hands. We have to do this!"
Wen Feng limped over from behind and, after hearing the conversation on the phone, said angrily, "That traitor Yellow Sea! He's actually with the CIA! We misjudged him completely; how did someone like him get into our expedition team? What kind of vetting process do we have in this country?"
Bai Yujing shook his head. "We don't know yet if Yellow Sea joined them from the start or if he was coerced by the enemy. We'll find out when we meet him. Zhou Jun, keep your gun ready and follow me closely. You'll bring both people and supplies back!"
Wen Feng immediately said, "I want to go too!"
Bai Yujing replied firmly, "No way. You're not in a condition to move easily. If something goes wrong later, we won't be able to take care of you!"
After packing up the camp, Bai Yujing looked at Wen Feng and Zhu Wei sitting in the vehicle and said, "Once Zhou Jun brings the people back, drive away immediately and start your return trip. Wait for me at the supply point where our broken sled was for three days. If I haven't contacted you within that time, leave and return to Zhongshan Station!"
As Bai Yujing spoke, for some reason, Wen Feng suddenly started to cry. In this freezing cold and desolate place, everyone's spirit could become fragile. Zhou Jun also felt a surge of emotion and wanted to say something.
Bai Yujing quickly said, "Alright, don't make it sound like a farewell forever. Don't worry; everything will be fine!"
Bai Yujing patted Wen Feng on the shoulder and turned back to say, "Okay, let's go meet these people!"
Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun approached the base; Zhou Jun held an automatic rifle while Bai Yujing carried a handgun. They brought a total of five handguns and two automatic rifles for this trip—these were special supplies transported by Ocean Six and approved by Liu Xinwu's side. When Bai Yujing left, he only took two handguns and one automatic rifle; the remaining one was held by Zhu Wei.
As they neared the base, Bai Yujing knocked on the large door and immediately saw a handsome young white man open it. After carefully examining Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun behind him, he asked someone behind him in English before turning back to say, "You two can come in, but you must hand over your guns!"
Bai Yujing replied, "That's impossible. We can't put our lives entirely in your hands!"
The young man shook his head. "No way; you have to do it!"
The negotiation had reached a deadlock. Bai Yujing turned to Zhou Jun and discussed briefly. Zhou Jun immediately erupted, "No way, this absolutely won't do. We have to fight them; if worse comes to worst, we’ll be dead. We absolutely..."
Bai Yujing quickly interjected, "I am the leader; do as I say!"
Bai Yujing pulled out a bead from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhou Jun's pocket. "Listen to me, you stay outside while I go in alone!"
Bai Yujing pushed the door open and called inside, "Now that I'm here alone, is that alright?"
Paul glanced back and saw Catherine nodding. Paul immediately holstered his gun, opened the door wide, and let Bai Yujing enter. He quickly noticed someone by the door who approached and confiscated the handgun from Bai Yujing's hand. After searching him and confirming there were no issues, he nodded at Catherine.
Catherine clapped her hands. "Mr. Bai's courage is truly admirable. Since you have come as promised, we will also honor our commitment!"
Bai Yujing then saw the tightly bound Li Xiang being brought out from the inner room, with Yellow Sea holding a gun to Li Xiang's head. Li Xiang struggled desperately, glaring angrily at Yellow Sea, who remained expressionless with his head bowed.
Then two boxes were carried out, but there was no sign of anyone else. Bai Yujing looked at Li Xiang and then back at the rear. "Wait, there's still one person missing?"
Catherine shrugged her shoulders. "I'm afraid the other person was very unwelcoming when we arrived and shot one of our companions. Although we came in friendship, for self-preservation, we had no choice but to..."
Bai Yujing slammed his hand on the table in anger. "This is not what was discussed over the phone!"
His actions immediately drew several guns aimed at him. Bai Yujing rubbed his face to calm himself down. The death of Liu Xinwu had ignited his fury, but he knew that anger would be of no use at this moment.
