The Woman in a Floral Dress

The sky had turned dark. Time was ticking.

Lu Zihao and his subordinates got off several silent off-road vehicles behind a mountain. They were fully armed and moved like elite soldiers.

A female voice directed them through their in-ear phones.

"Please hurry, Big Brother," Iris said after giving directions on where they should go. "Little Jun must be frightened."

"I'm on it," Lu Zihao replied, his expression cold and unchanging.

He scanned their surroundings, a mountain forest, through his night-vision goggles and gestured at his subordinates. They followed his silent orders.

Together, they moved through the forest in unison like a pack of nocturnal creatures.

Soon, they saw a lone wooden house located at a tricky incline. There were no other houses. It was most likely a temporary shelter made by hunters from the nearest village at the neighbouring mountain.
