She had thought the matter passed and that Yan Aohan had forgotten. She never expected he had kept it in mind all along. Later, after she refined the Crystal Jade Face Pill, he actually asked her for one to take. He even insisted she take one with him. When he reached adulthood, he suffered greatly. Indeed, having extraordinary talent was not something ordinary people could handle. But that is a story for another time.
After looking around and finding nothing else, Zhu Yanyi said, "There are no other herbs I need here. However, there are plenty of Western medicines. We can send them to the medics of the nearest peacekeeping force. They will likely need them."
Yan Aohan hummed in agreement. Everyone here had died from poisoning, so getting answers was impossible. Zhu Yanyi had come to destroy the terrorist base, not to interrogate. Besides, even without questioning, the documents left behind were enough for research. The few who escaped would be easy to find.
Zhu Yanyi did not care much about the documents. Luo Gang and her team would handle the sorting. She had simply walked around to confirm no one was left, which put her mind at ease.
It was nearly four in the morning. Yan Aohan said to Zhu Yanyi, "You rest a bit. Leave at dawn. I will have people clean up this place."
Zhu Yanyi nodded. The others had no objections either. They found a spot to rest, as it was still cold outside. Around five in the morning, as the sun began to rise, the temperature slowly increased. Seeing it was warmer, Zhu Yanyi and the others prepared to leave. Before departing, Yan Aohan seemed to remember something and said to Zhu Yanyi, "Go to the Gusi Lan ruins first. I will come find you there."
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly, then smiled. "Actually, having Balph lead the way is not bad. I wonder who she will contact when she finds out what happened here."
Hearing Yan Aohan’s words, Zhu Yanyi understood his intent. It was mainly to lure the snake out of its hole. The terrorist base was dealt with, but there were still henchmen outside. Balph was clearly one of them. If Balph learned the base was compromised, she would likely contact others. By following Balph, they would surely gain some leads.
Since they had started this, they needed to finish it perfectly. They could not leave any loose ends. As the old saying goes, wild fire cannot kill all the grass; when spring comes, it grows again. If such an organization was not completely crushed, it would surely rise from the ashes.
Zhu Yanyi understood this, so she agreed with Yan Aohan’s plan.
"Ghost Elf," Yan Aohan scolded with a smile. "Hurry up and go. I will arrive at the Gusi Lan ruins by tonight at the latest. There is a ruins hotel there. Check in and leave a signal. I will come find you directly."
"Okay." Zhu Yanyi nodded, signaled to Luo Gang and the others, and left first.
Yan Aohan only started his other tasks after seeing them go.
Zhu Yanyi and the others naturally carried the camels and Balph back to the original oasis.
"If I had known it would be this easy to resolve, we wouldn't have needed to hide him in that place," Zhang Yan said with a helpless expression. They had to restore their tent to prevent Balph from noticing any flaws.
