Emily picked up the conversation: "Yes, especially that central command center. Taking it would be a huge blow to them. But we can't act blindly; we need to develop a more comprehensive and detailed strategy."

Li Ming added, "That's right, we've already alerted the enemy. Next time they come, it probably won't be so easy for them to get in. So we need to be even more cautious."
Zhao De nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Vivian, are you familiar with this place? Do you have any special suggestions?"
Vivian smiled slightly and replied, "I have some knowledge of this area. Although the environment here is quite complex, it also contains many advantageous hiding places. We can use this time to thoroughly scout the surrounding terrain and formulate a new action plan."
At that moment, the team member standing guard on the perimeter suddenly whispered a reminder to everyone to stay alert, "Someone is approaching from the southeast!"
Everyone immediately went on high alert. A moment later, a simply dressed young man with a resolute gaze appeared before them. He raised his hand to indicate that he meant no harm.
“Hello,” the young man said calmly. “My name is Robert, and I’m an intelligence officer in this area. I heard you needed help, so I came to find out what’s going on. Perhaps I can provide you with some useful information.”
Faced with this unexpected situation, Zhao De did not let his guard down easily: "How did you know what we were looking for? Who sent you here?"
Robert nodded in understanding of the other party's attitude and did not rush to defend himself: "I have my eyes and ears on many things around here. There must be a reason why you've been making such a big commotion lately, right? As for why I'm helping... simply put, I have a common enemy with you."
Seeing his sincerity and the lack of obvious hostility, Vivian stepped forward and said, "Alright, you can continue. But please remember one thing: if you have any ill intentions towards us, you will regret coming here."
After obtaining permission, Robert briefly introduced his background and some important information he had learned: "Actually, I discovered the existence of this secret base several months ago and have been secretly investigating its operation and the true purpose of the people behind it. It wasn't until yesterday that I finally obtained enough evidence to shake the entire system—there is another extremely critical research project hidden in a secluded cave not far from here, which may be the core hub of all their activities."
After hearing this, the group exchanged shocked yet hopeful glances. "It seems we need to find this place quickly and resolve this issue completely," Zhao De said firmly. "Then, could you lead the way to the place you mentioned?"
Robert smiled slightly. "No problem, as long as you trust me."
And so, a preliminary cooperation plan gradually took shape. To confirm the authenticity of this lead, Vivian decided to send someone to accompany Robert to the destination to investigate.
As darkness fell, the team members busied themselves with their respective tasks. A tense yet excited atmosphere filled the air—because they knew that a new beginning might be waiting for them all…
Just before they were about to set off, Zhao De patted Robert on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Buddy, I hope we have a good working relationship."
“I definitely won’t let you down,” Robert nodded in assurance. Just then, a slight sound caught Vivian’s attention. “Wait… something seems off over there.” She keenly sensed a potential threat.

Chapter 863 Deep Envy
As soon as Vivian finished speaking, the team members immediately became alert, and the tension in the surrounding air suddenly increased.
In the distance, a villager who was chopping wood stopped what he was doing, looked over, and asked with a puzzled expression. "What are these people doing? So many strangers have come here these past few days. It's really not peaceful."
He muttered to himself, but ultimately shook his head and continued working.
"Where?" Zhao De asked in a low voice, slowly approaching Vivian's location.
Following the direction Vivian was pointing, a faint shadow seemed to flicker in a clump of bushes not far away.
“There was definitely some noise just now,” Robert said confidently. “But don’t worry, I know how to deal with them.”
As he spoke, he wanted to step forward and investigate. But at that moment, a little boy walked out from the back of the group; he was one of the children from a nearby village who had come out of curiosity to see what was going on.
"Are the older brothers and sisters going to catch some bad guys?" the child asked, his eyes sparkling, clearly filled with curiosity and longing for these adults.
Zhao De squatted down and smiled gently: "Little one, the most important thing to do now is to go home and stay there. Once this matter is resolved, we will tell you a long story as compensation."
Hearing this, the little boy was slightly disappointed but quickly nodded excitedly: "Okay then, but remember to keep your word!"
After watching the children leave, everyone gathered again to discuss how to deal with this potential problem.
After a brief discussion, it was decided that a small group of experienced and agile team members would conduct reconnaissance first, while the others would be prepared to evacuate at any time.
The reconnaissance team cautiously approached the unusual location and indeed discovered something unusual—several miniature camera devices, cleverly disguised and seemingly used for surveillance, were cleverly placed among tree branches or in the crevices of rocks.
"As expected, someone doesn't want us to get to the next target location smoothly." Vivian frowned as she analyzed the situation.
Meanwhile, on the other side, two middle-aged women were chatting animatedly. "Did you hear? Those young men over there seem to be former special forces soldiers! That's so cool!"
An older woman in a pink dress spoke with obvious envy.
“Really? No wonder they all look so shrewd and capable. We’d better be careful not to get in the way of their important business,” another replied.
On the way back to the meeting point, Li Ming whispered his worries: "This means our whereabouts have been monitored. We must be even more careful from now on."
After listening to his teammate's opinion, Zhao De nodded in agreement and turned to all the team members, saying, "You've all worked hard! But the mission is not yet complete, so we must not let our guard down."
"We'll spend the night here, get some rest and recharge. Tomorrow morning, when the first rays of sunlight appear, we'll embark on a new journey and uncover the mystery behind the truth!"
As night fell, the camp gradually quieted down, with only the occasional soft footsteps and voices of conversation breaking the silence...
Just when everyone thought they could finally relax, a few more faint noises suddenly rang out from the edge of the camp...
"Hey! Did you hear that?" A young woman on lookout looked around warily. "It feels like someone is sneaking up on us..."
Chapter 864 Unexpected Situation
Chapter 864 Unexpected Situation
This sudden situation immediately drew everyone's attention, and a new wave of even stronger unease filled the air.
"It seems tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful," Zhao De thought to himself, then ordered everyone to enter a higher level of alert. However, at that moment, a figure silently emerged from the shadows…
Wait, it's me. Robert waved gently, trying to appear relaxed. "Don't be so tense. I just went for a walk and have some important information to share with you..."
Robert's words didn't immediately ease the tension, but everyone gradually relaxed their guard. A semblance of calm returned to the camp, and Zhao De spoke first, asking, "What important information is it?"
“I’ve discovered that we may be facing more than one enemy,” Robert said in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over each of his team members. “I’ve found more surveillance devices around us, and even some hidden traps.”
The atmosphere in the group became heavy again. Vivian frowned and asked, "You said there are more traps? This is troublesome."
“Yes, but I’ve managed to take care of a few,” Robert continued. “However, I’m sure they have other tricks up their sleeves. We can’t afford to be careless anymore.”
“In that case, we must act quickly,” Zhao De said firmly. “We can’t let them succeed. Vivian, can you try to hack those miniature cameras? We need to find out who is secretly spying on us.”
Vivian nodded to indicate that she understood; she had already prepared a special tool kit. "I'll give it a try, but it'll take some time," she said, and began to work.
Just as the team was discussing countermeasures, two villagers happened to pass by on a path not far away. An uncle carrying a basket said to his friend, "Old Wang, have you heard? These young people seem to be in quite a bit of trouble."
Old Wang, standing nearby, nodded and said, "Wow, the aura they exude makes them seem like extraordinary people. I wonder who dares to confront these warriors? We ordinary folks can only pray that they are safe and sound."
Back at the camp, after some effort, Vivian finally managed to hack into one of the cameras and saw the image coming from the other side. "It's them! It's actually..." Her expression changed instantly; she clearly recognized the people on the screen.
Li Ming immediately took the screen and looked at it. "So it was him?!" He then turned to his teammates and explained, "He was one of our previous opponents. He seems to have been looking for an opportunity to get revenge."
Just then, a little girl suddenly ran in from the camp entrance, panting and shouting, "Something terrible has happened, brothers and sisters! There are lots of strange people appearing over at the village, and the villagers are terrified!"
Upon realizing the situation was not right, Zhao De immediately made a decision: "It seems the enemy has already taken action. Robert, Li Ming, you take the necessary equipment and go to provide support first; the rest of you stay here to protect the important data, and wait for my orders before making any further plans."
"Understood!" The two immediately set off, running rapidly towards the village. Meanwhile, the others in the camp began to bustle about in a tense but orderly fashion, preparing to respond to any unexpected situations that might arise.
Chapter 865 The Unspeakable Secret
Chapter 865 The Unspeakable Secret
Just when everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly according to plan, a pair of cold, shrewd eyes were quietly hidden deep in the woods, observing all the changes.
"Hmph... Just as I predicted, they've started to lose their composure." The mysterious figure muttered to himself, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "Then, the real game begins..."
As night deepened, the entire area seemed shrouded in an inexplicable and oppressive atmosphere. What challenges and dangers awaited this valiant team ahead?
"Wait a minute, didn't you guys notice... that child's appearance just now was too much of a coincidence?"
Suddenly, a sense of unease flashed through Zhao De's mind, "Perhaps there are more unspeakable secrets hidden behind this..."
His words sent chills down the spines of those around him, and the air grew heavy once more.
No sooner had Zhao De finished speaking than Vivian picked up the conversation, "Indeed, if the enemy's goal is to create chaos, then sending a child to deliver the message is a very clever move." She frowned, her fingers rapidly tapping on the computer keyboard, trying to find more clues.
Suddenly, Lin Jie, who was monitoring the radio communications, broke the silence: "Captain, something's wrong! A distress signal just came from the direction of the village; it seems they've been under real attack. The signal also mentioned a group of strangers breaking into the village and searching for something important."
Now everyone fully understood the extraordinary urgency of the situation. "Vivian, find their exact location immediately!" Zhao De gave the order, then turned to Li Ming, "You and I set off right away. The rest of you stay here and prepare everything! We'll provide support as soon as we find out the situation!"
Just as the two hurriedly left, a young man passing by at the edge of the camp stopped. His eyes were filled with doubt and curiosity: "What kind of opponents are they facing? What could possibly make such powerful people so nervous..." He muttered to himself, then quietly followed behind the two.
Meanwhile, on the way to the village, Zhao De walked briskly while analyzing the situation. "This time, the enemy has clearly come prepared, even going so far as to use innocent villagers to distract us. But no matter how cunning they are, we will never let them harm any ordinary people." Li Ming beside him nodded in agreement, while vigilantly scanning their surroundings to ensure their safety.
Just then, screams echoed from afar. "Run!" Zhao De shouted, quickening his pace as he ran towards the source of the sound. When the two arrived at the scene, the sight before them was shocking—the once peaceful and tranquil village had been reduced to utter chaos, with villagers running in panic to escape the attacks.
"Stop!" Li Ming shouted, rushing forward and stopping a knife-wielding assailant who was trying to abduct a child. With nimble movements, he kicked the man to the ground, quickly subdued him, tied him up, and threw him to the other rescue team members who had arrived.
A chorus of exclamations arose from the crowd: "Amazing! Is this the legendary messenger of justice?" "He's practically a modern-day superhero!" Beyond admiration, the crowd felt a surge of security, as if their presence alone could avert even the greatest crisis.

Chapter 866 We must get it as soon as possible
Meanwhile, at the other end of the village, several men in black were trying to open a small warehouse that looked ordinary but was unusually sturdy.
"They must be hiding something crucial here; we must get our hands on it as soon as possible."
One of them spoke urgently. But at that moment, a steady and powerful voice suddenly resounded throughout the space—
"Put down what you're doing, turn around, and stand in a line with your hands up!" Zhao De coldly ordered from a short distance away, a laser gun in his hand fixed on the intruders. Faced with this sudden and extremely oppressive situation, the robbers hesitated for a moment.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a figure in a long robe with a smile on his face quietly appeared in everyone's sight. "Haha... We finally meet, old friends." The arrival of this stranger immediately aroused everyone's high alert...
