Chapter 1340 The Invaders
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere on the scene immediately became tense. Zhao De nodded, his eyes sharpening. "How many people are there? What are their movements? Have you suffered any casualties?"
The young man quickly replied, "There are about twenty of them, well-equipped and fast-moving. Our men are alright for now, but they're clearly heading for the camp. Teacher, we have to do something."
"Alright, I understand." Zhao De took a deep breath and turned to look at the students around him. "Everyone, listen up! Return to camp immediately and spread out in battle formation! Prepare for any possible surprise attacks."
Everyone immediately sprang into action, rushing to their respective tents to retrieve weapons and protective gear. Zhao De walked over to Wang Yu and whispered, "Wang Yu, take Li Xiao, Chen Si, and Zhao De and a few others to the edge of the forest to scout out the situation. Be careful and don't attack rashly."
Wang Yu nodded seriously. "Teacher, I know what to do. Everyone, follow me!" After he finished speaking, he hurried in the designated direction, with the others following closely behind.
At the same time, Lin Xue grabbed Li Xiao's arm as he was about to leave, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. "Be careful, please stay safe," she whispered.
Li Xiao smiled slightly, took her hand and squeezed it gently to comfort her. "Don't worry, we'll be fine." After saying that, he followed the group away.
Before long, the four students arrived at the entrance to the forest. The light here was rather dim, and the occasional rustling of twigs and leaves in the wind made them instinctively more alert. Wang Yu raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and he listened intently to the sounds around them.
Suddenly, a faint yet unusually clear metallic clang alerted them. This was followed by several indistinct voices conversing—they didn't sound friendly. Wang Yu gestured, pointing to a small hill not far to the left. "We'll split into two groups. Zhao De and I will circle around to the left and surround them; Li Xiao and Chen Si will hold this position and report any enemy activity immediately."
After the division of labor was clear, the four quickly split into two groups and disappeared into the dense forest to begin carrying out the plan. Wang Yu and Zhao De advanced cautiously, trying to minimize the sound they made. Before long, they indeed saw a group of strangers armed with weapons arguing about something. One man in a black cloak stood out—his aura was clearly different from his accomplices.
At that very moment, Wang Yu subtly gave his comrade a wink. "We'll do it the same way as before. Get ready."
Just as the man in black was about to order his men to continue exploring this unfamiliar area, he suddenly sensed an unsettling aura surging in the air. "Danger..." Before he could finish speaking, a sharp 'whoosh' sound rang out—an arrow flew with pinpoint accuracy from the bushes on his right, aimed straight for his vitals!
Almost simultaneously, Wang Yu activated his skill. A dazzling beam of light condensed from his palm and hurtled towards the target at incredible speed. "Attack!" With this command, the two soldiers who had been lying in wait pounced on the enemy like tigers descending a mountain.
The once arrogant group of invaders was now in complete chaos, especially their leader, who was utterly shocked: no one had expected that such a formidable figure was hidden in this seemingly ordinary place.

Meanwhile, Li Xiao and Chen Si, who had been waiting on the perimeter, also joined the battle, using their respective strengths to help their comrades suppress the enemy's counterattack. In an instant, the entire forest was filled with the glint of swords and the clash of spears, creating a brutal scene.
Although the situation seemed to be developing in their favor for the time being, everyone knew that this was only a temporary advantage. As the battle continued, the balance of power could still be reversed at any moment...
"This won't do! We have to find a way to contact reinforcements!" Wang Yu shouted to his teammates during a brief lull in the fighting. Zhao De, who had just forced back several enemy soldiers with his sword, replied after catching his breath, "But how do we notify the teacher and the others? The signal here is so bad we can't send messages at all."
Li Xiao frowned, looked around at the surroundings, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I remember there's a flare that can launch a signal over at the camp. As long as someone of us can get back to the camp..." Before he could finish speaking, Chen Si interrupted him, "I'll go. I'm the fastest, so it's the most suitable for me." With that, she made a move to go.
"Wait!" Zhao De quickly stopped her, a hint of worry in his eyes. "This is too dangerous. If you go back alone, you'll be too conspicuous."
At this moment, the man in black's men began to organize a counterattack. The enemy's offensive grew increasingly fierce, and the situation became even more urgent. "Time waits for no one," Wang Yu said in a deep voice. "Here's what we'll do: Li Xiao and Chen Si, you two will act together, so you can look out for each other. But remember to be extremely careful!"
"Don't worry, leave it to us!" Chen Si replied firmly, giving Li Xiao a wink, who nodded in agreement. Then, the two of them galloped back the way they came like wild horses, their figures quickly disappearing into the dense forest.
With their companion gone, the remaining three had to concentrate on dealing with the approaching enemy. "Looks like we'll have to find a way to hold them off for a while," Wang Yu said. Zhao De nodded, gripping his longsword tighter, ready to plunge into the next fierce battle. But at this critical moment, a sudden, strange noise made everyone stop what they were doing…
A deafening roar echoed in the distance, followed by a chaotic cacophony of shouts. Had new forces joined the battle? Just as everyone was bewildered, several figures in camouflage, wielding advanced equipment, burst from the thick smoke and charged directly into the enemy ranks. These newcomers were extremely powerful, possessing not only superior weaponry but also excellent teamwork, quickly suppressing the squad led by the man in black.
It turned out that Zhao De had been prepared. After receiving the warning, he immediately contacted a secret squad stationed in the nearby mountains for backup. Seeing the reinforcements finally arrive, Zhao De was overjoyed and shouted, "Everyone, come quickly and help!"
Faced with the sudden arrival of powerful reinforcements, the previously arrogant invaders finally lost their composure and began to retreat. Seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the leading man in black. He coldly smiled at his men and gave the order to retreat. "Consider yourselves lucky today… but we'll meet again." After uttering these threatening words, he led his remaining forces and quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Although the crisis had been temporarily averted, the footsteps coming from all directions and the approaching figures kept everyone on their toes. "Don't let your guard down yet, there are still quite a few survivors hiding here," the leading officer warned. "We must make sure every area is thoroughly cleared."
And so, with the cooperation of both sides, the search proceeded smoothly. Only when it was finally confirmed that no more enemies remained did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness we escaped danger this time," a young soldier remarked with emotion, "otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable..." Hearing this, many present nodded in agreement.
Just then, Li Xiao and Chen Si, who had returned to report the news earlier, reappeared in everyone's sight. Seeing his companions return safely, Wang Yu couldn't help but smile: "It's so good that you're all alright. The situation has been resolved. Now let's hurry back and report."
"Mmm," Lin Xue responded softly, her face beaming with undisguised joy. "Hopefully, similar unexpected events won't happen again."
“That’s true, but life is unpredictable, who can say for sure?” Zhao De chimed in, his tone optimistic and open-minded. “In short, the most important thing now is to learn from our experiences so that we can handle similar situations better in the future.”
As the situation gradually became clearer, Wang Yu and the others finally had a chance to relax a little. Li Xiao and Chen Si successfully brought back news of reinforcements and made contact with the external forces, which brought a sense of relief to everyone.
"It seems we've completed part of our mission smoothly," Wang Yu said while adjusting his equipment. "However, things aren't looking good yet. Our teacher definitely has a lot of things for us to do."
Zhao De nodded in agreement: "Yes, after all, the situation is not completely resolved yet. I wonder if those men in black will come back again."
Lin Xue chimed in, "Anyway, let's not think about that too much for now! Let's hurry back and report the situation, and get some rest before we talk about anything else."
Just as everyone was about to leave, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind: "The students performed well. They were able to calmly deal with the sudden danger, which is very gratifying." Professor Zhao De was smiling as he walked towards them, accompanied by two fully armed soldiers who were clearly from a special operations team.
"Ah, teacher!" the four shouted in unison, standing still to show their respect.
"You did a great job this time, especially that surprise counterattack just now, which fully demonstrated the results of your usual training," he praised, and then asked, "How are you feeling now? Are you injured or feeling unwell anywhere?"
The group exchanged glances, then shook their heads to indicate that everything was alright. "We're all fine, teacher, please don't worry," Wang Yu replied. "We're just a little tired."
“It’s inevitable to be tired,” Zhao De nodded. “But that’s part of the process of training ourselves! We’ll replenish our supplies at the camp later, because we have an even more important mission waiting for us tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, the group immediately perked up. "What mission is it?" Chen Si eagerly asked.
Zhao De, however, kept it a secret for now: "Hehe, I'll keep it a secret for now! But I'm sure it will be very interesting." As he spoke, he glanced at the prisoners who were being subdued and interrogated not far away, "These guys might be hiding quite a few secrets..."

Just then, an officer hurried over, whispered a few words in the professor's ear, and then stepped aside. "Okay, I'll go take a look right away." He then turned to the young men in front of him and said, "Sorry, students, there's a sudden situation that needs to be dealt with. Try to get some rest early tonight, and see you tomorrow morning."
Watching the professor's figure gradually disappear into the distance, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. "Ugh, I'm so curious!" Lin Xue pouted and complained, "Couldn't you have given me just a little hint... Oh well, never mind that for now."
"Ahem," Zhao De, usually so composed, coughed, drawing everyone's attention. "Actually, I think that no matter what challenges we face next, as long as we continue to work together as a team, we can overcome any difficulty!"
Upon hearing this, the others all smiled in agreement.
"That's right!" Li Xiao said excitedly, waving the short knife in his hand. "And don't forget, we still have a lot of intelligence on us, which I believe will be of great help when the time comes!"
"Alright, alright, stop chatting!" Wang Yu interrupted with a laugh. "Since that's all for today, let's go back and get some rest, shall we?"
"Great idea!" Lin Xue nodded in agreement. "We really need to get some rest, after all that has happened today."
The group gathered their scattered equipment and prepared to return to camp. Night had fallen, and the surroundings were exceptionally quiet, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.
Wang Yu, walking at the front of the group, looked back at his companions, a sense of relief and gratitude welling up inside him. If it weren't for their seamless teamwork and the unexpected help of reinforcements, they probably wouldn't be standing here safe and sound.
"Hurry up, everyone, don't dawdle," Zhao De urged from the side. Although he spoke sternly, his eyes couldn't hide his concern for his companions.
"Got it, Lao Zhao. Don't worry, we don't want to stay in this darkness for even a second longer," Li Xiao replied with a smile.
After passing through a patch of overgrown weeds, they finally saw the familiar camp lights. The camp was now brightly lit, with busy figures moving back and forth, seemingly making final preparations for an upcoming mission.
"Shall we go check in first, and then go back to the tent for a nice shower and relax?" Chen Si suggested.
"That suits me perfectly! But we need to go to the infirmary for a check-up first," Lin Xue said. "After all, I suffered a few minor injuries today, so it's best to have a doctor check me out to be on the safe side."
As they entered the camp, they were immediately welcomed by the people around them. Everyone came forward to ask how they were doing, and only left with peace of mind after learning that everything was alright.
They quickly arrived at the medical area, and after a thorough examination, it was found that everyone was unharmed. After a simple dinner and washing up, the group returned to their respective tents to rest.
As night deepened, the camp was utterly silent, save for the occasional whispers of patrol members. However, for Wang Yu and his men, sleep would be elusive tonight. Especially with the even more important mission awaiting them tomorrow, their minds were filled with the challenges to come.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent. "Knock, knock, knock," followed by a soft knocking on the door.

"Who is this?" Wang Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's me, Professor Zhao De." The familiar and gentle voice came from outside the door.
Several young men immediately jumped out of bed and opened the tent's small door. There stood the professor, with the same two armed soldiers standing beside him.
"Teacher, is there something you need so late?" Wang Yu asked.
Professor Zhao De nodded, his expression unusually serious: "Indeed, there is a very important matter that requires your immediate attention."
Upon hearing this, the group immediately tensed up. "What happened?" Zhao De hurriedly asked.
"I'll explain the details later," Zhao De waved his hand. "The most important thing now is to set off as soon as possible to avoid wasting time."
"Where are we going?" Chen Si joined the conversation.
“This…” Zhao De hesitated for a moment, then replied, “You are going to a hidden location where there may be more clues about the Black Organization.”
"Understood, teacher. We'll get ready to go now," Wang Yu said firmly.
Looking at the four brave young people before him, Zhao De smiled with satisfaction. "Very good, I believe you will be able to complete this task successfully."
After a quick packing, the group followed the professor out of the camp and embarked on a new journey. Under the moonlight, their figures gradually disappeared into the distance…
"I hope there won't be any more accidents this time," Lin Xue said softly.
“Yes, no matter what happens, we will face it together,” Zhao De replied firmly.
"Professor, before we set off, could you tell us more details?" Wang Yu couldn't help but ask, trying to get more information out of Zhao De.
Zhao De stopped and looked at the group with a deep gaze. "There are some things I can't say right now. But you need to know that the Black Organization is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The forces behind them are far more complex than we imagine." He paused. "This mission is crucial to the success or failure of the entire project, and may even affect the broader situation."
"Understood, teacher, we will definitely do our best!" Li Xiao raised the knife in his hand and made a firm statement. His bright eyes revealed his fearless determination.
Zhao De nodded, looking at the young people with satisfaction. "I know you are all the best soldiers and researchers, and I believe you can do a great job."
