Regardless of whether Dong Tianyu used his gaze or Divine Sense to scan, Watson remained the same old Watson. It was just unknown what Watson had discovered that made him resort to such a bluff, intending to drive the other team members away from this place.

There was that saying, now that they had come all this way, even if they knew there were problems inside, they couldn’t just turn around and leave. Not to mention the loss caused by the failure of the mission, when others mentioned them in the future, there would certainly be someone who would say:

"That squad leader of Team XX, when carrying out a mission, had already reached the destination, yet he was fooled by a reserve team member into giving up the mission. Later on, no matter how many reasons he has, he can’t stop the rumors spreading everywhere."

Thinking of this, the team leader pointed at Zayne and directly opened his mouth to say, "Zayne, you..."

Before the team leader could finish speaking to Zayne, Watson inside the courtyard suddenly shouted joyfully, "Brother Zayne, did you see that? Even if you didn’t come in willingly just now, but with the captain’s order, aren’t you still going to have to enter the yard?

If you had come in on your own initiative to help me earlier, our brotherly bond wouldn’t have been broken. But now, even if you come to help me, and while I’m grateful for it, it can’t repair our friendship that has already been severed."

Seeing Watson’s straightforward self-talk, regret appeared on Zayne’s face. The team leader, on the other hand, didn’t pay attention to Watson but continued to speak, "Zayne, take all the fuel that Number Five is carrying on his back, light it up, and throw it directly onto the freshly-cut weeds in the courtyard."

Although there were two or three reserve members in the team, when they were on a mission, they generally wouldn’t carry much on them, as their backpacks were filled with their personal belongings.

The various materials that the team took on outings were guarded by the regular members.

After all, although there were reserve members in the squad, all the heavy labor was dumped on them.

But the vast majority of the reserve members were just ordinary people, and many of the reserves were even teenagers around fourteen or fifteen years old.

What is the most important thing in the wilderness?

Supplies,

Supplies,

Supplies still.

That’s why, even though the boxes for carrying various supplies were somewhat heavy, no member was willing to let the reserve members be responsible for those supply boxes.

After all, these things were so important. If they were to go deep into the wilderness and the heavens didn’t respond, and the earth didn’t hear, that would be a big problem.

To ensure the safety of the materials carried on outings, these materials were all handled by the regular members.

After all, no one else had Dong Tianyu’s Storage Space. The materials they carried on outings were all on backpacks, or like the Saint Seiya’s, they would carry a metal box on their back when they went out.

Hearing the boss’s orders, Number Five went down the steps and then unfastened his backpack to take out homemade incendiary bombs made from beer bottles.

When the others saw this, they immediately retreated from outside the front door to the steps and watched with eager anticipation to see how the situation would develop further.

Zayne first carried three incendiary bottles to the outside of the courtyard gate. Seeing the incendiary bottles in Zayne’s hands, Watson inside the yard immediately shouted in a fit of anger, "Brother Zayne, I’m still in the yard. By doing this, do you want to burn me alive?"

Hearing what Watson said, hesitation appeared on Zayne’s face.

Seeing this, Number Three, who had been watching the drama unfold without speaking up, suddenly said, "If you’re worried that the incendiary bottles will burn you once they’re lit, then why don’t you just come out? Why do you stubbornly stay inside the yard? If you come out, won’t you be safe?"

Hearing Number Three say this, Zayne instantly understood the reasoning, so he persuaded Watson again, "Little Brother, listen to Brother Three; hurry up and come out. If you really don’t want to, then hide inside that building. As long as you’re prepared, it probably won’t burn you."

Hearing Zayne’s persuasion, Watson’s expression turned noticeably darker, and then he spoke again in a gloomy tone, "Brother Zayne, are you serious?"

Hearing Watson’s question and seeing his expression, Zayne stayed silent, but he silently found a lighter from his backpack, lit the incendiary bomb in his hand, and threw it fiercely onto the pile of weeds inside the yard.

Looking at the beer bottle thrown into the courtyard, it landed heavily on the grass without setting the surrounding weeds ablaze.

Watson, with a baffled face, watched the shrinking fireball and said disdainfully, "Is that all?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Just as Watson was about to criticize his former teammate, the ignition device on the beer bottle finally caught fire.

A sudden "bang" rang out in the courtyard, and the exploding beer bottle first launched an attack with the flying shards of glass, then the fuel scattered in the blast was ignited by the explosion.

Consequently, the flames carried by the dispersing fuel launched a second assault on the surroundings, yet aside from Watson, there was no one else in the courtyard. Moreover, Zayne had deliberately thrown the Molotov cocktail far from Watson.

So, although the Molotov cocktail explosion caused damage twice, it didn’t harm Watson in the slightest.

Watching the first Molotov cocktail ignite the weeds on the ground, Zayne decisively tossed the other two he held out.

Seeing the three Molotov cocktails explode and ignite weeds in three different places, Watson moved slightly, preparing to put out the fire, but for some reason stopped his action and instead let the courtyard weeds burn.

When Zayne threw the Molotov cocktails into the courtyard, he suddenly noticed that Watson wasn’t attempting to extinguish the fire but was standing there stunned, letting the fire spread.

Perhaps Watson was prepared, or for some other reason, after the incendiary bombs burst, they did ignite the surrounding ground weeds.

But the flames extinguished quite quickly and didn’t catch much of the cut weeds.

Watson, observing this, immediately looked at the leader with a mocking gaze.

At this moment, the leader surely sensed Watson’s glance, but so what? As the captain, he could face various issues, but if Watson made a single misstep, he’d likely become very unlucky.

Ignoring Watson’s mocking gaze, the leader coldly said to Zayne, "Continue."

Hearing the leader’s instruction, Zayne returned to the box at the bottom of the steps. Then, with some hesitation, he asked the leader, "Boss, how many should I use?"

At Zayne’s query, the leader simply said, "All of them."

There were about twenty incendiary grenades left in the box over the next two layers down. After using three, there were twenty-one left.

Hearing the leader say all of them, Zayne decisively moved the box outside the courtyard gate, casually lit an incendiary grenade, and flung it into the yard.

Seeing this reckless act, Watson immediately yelled and attempted to stop Zayne’s actions.

However, upon receiving the captain’s order, Zayne went all out, completely disregarding Watson’s shouts, and threw all the Molotov cocktails from the box into the courtyard.

Strangely enough, Watson, who had been shouting loudly just moments ago, fell silent instantly after seeing Zayne throw in all the Molotov cocktails, then quietly retreated to the door of the two-story building within the courtyard.

Even though the weeds in the courtyard were caught ablaze by the incendiary grenades and the fire began to spread gradually, Watson had no intention of leaving through the main gate, nor did he plan to seek refuge from the fire inside the building.

Watson just stood outside the door of the building within the courtyard, blankly watching the flames on the grass grow larger and slowly cover the entire courtyard.

However, weeds are just weeds. After a while, even with no one actively extinguishing them, the fire quickly died out on its own as the weeds were not very flammable.

Looking at the black ash covering the yard, Watson, who had been standing still in a daze, immediately filled with murderous intent in his eyes.

"The fire is set, captain. Do you still want to complete the mission?"
