"Squad leader, rest assured." Ji You clenched her fist, her tone resolute, with a slight smile on her lips: "As long as they fall into my hands, not a single enemy will escape."

Outside the screen:

Audience: "..."

"Shaun, are you stupid?"

"Shaun, didn’t you catch her subconscious meaning? She plans to send you all away."

"All of you. None of you should even think about escaping."

"Including you! Big fool."

"The big fool can’t hear us."

"Shaun, your team has infiltrated by a Dark Type villain."

"Look at the smile on her lips, it’s downright eerie... Don’t you feel a chill down your spine?"

"You’ve placed her in formation, able to disrupt the frontline battles, retreat to the base for sabotage, you’re digging your own grave!"

"Shaun! Wake up!"

...

No matter how anxious the audience outside the screen is, how much they want to shake Shaun’s big head to make him vigilant, Shaun remains completely unaware of this. On the contrary, Ji You’s displayed talents have made Shaun pay more attention to her.

Shaun even considered telling Ji You about the signal tower, but after hesitating for a few seconds internally, Shaun ultimately decided not to lay it all bare. He felt it wasn’t time yet; when his team grows stronger or when the situation changes, he could tell Ji You later.

Hence, Shaun said: "Alright, it’s decided."

Thinking for a moment, Shaun added: "Head to the formation now. Oh, take this."

As he spoke, Shaun suddenly pulled out a device made like an ear from his sleeve, roughly the size of an adult’s fingernail. He said: "Put this on when necessary."

Ji You was startled: "What is this?"

Shaun replied: "You can hold on to it first, and when necessary, I’ll tell you how to use it."

Ji You put it away: "Alright."

Although Shaun didn’t want to say, Ji You also knew very well what this thing was—it was the signal tower’s transmitter, capable of receiving and transferring messages. Although very rudimentary, it truly had achieved a long-distance communication device.

Then.

Ji You thought of a problem, which seemed a bit difficult to voice, but she still opened her mouth and asked: "Squad leader, I might need some manpower, facing such large-scale operations alone can’t have a decisive effect, so I need some people."

The personnel on the base side were already very tight, truly describable as ’no one available’. Sending people to Ji You, Shaun found it very difficult, but he also knew that sending no one was not an option.

Who should he send?

The original 10 people on his hands all had tasks...

At this moment, Ji You said: "Can I have Wang Rumei and Xie Haisheng join me? With three people, although still few in number, as long as we grasp the timing, we can definitely have a greater impact." Ji You didn’t mention Chen Junxiu, played by Wang Xin, because Chen Junxiu was close to reaching the perimeter of the signal tower, probably about to sneak in. At this time, of course, no other task should be assigned to him.

Wang Rumei, Xie Haisheng, and Chen Junxiu were originally with Ji You and others, estimating that they would be willing to continue following Ji You.

Upon hearing this, Shaun thought for a moment and nodded very readily, saying: "Sure."

After hearing this, Ji You exclaimed forcefully: "Squad leader, I can set off now."

Shaun said: "Wait a little, if there’s news from Lester, when the 4th and 5th squads fill in, I can send you a bit more manpower."

Upon hearing this, Ji You was delighted: "That would be great."

Then.

Ji You and Shaun discussed and deliberated on some details, Ji You also suggested Shaun to send a few people to the front military base to ask He Zhen for manpower support. While Shaun was contemplating personnel distribution, he already included the 10 elite soldiers of the military base in mind, naturally not opposing at this time, so he immediately sent the refined young man by his side to handle it.

The refined young man wasted no time and set off immediately.

Next.

Ji You followed alongside Shaun, observing the surroundings through a telescope on the city wall.

About 10 minutes later, Lester returned with great news, not only were the 4th and 5th squads willing to cooperate, but the 8th and 9th squads also expressed willingness to collaborate with Shaun.

As he spoke, Lester deliberately glanced at Ji You, saying: "Didn’t I say, once I step in, there’s nothing that can’t be done."

Shaun was also very happy, Lester completed the task in a short time with unexpected gains, the 8th and 9th squads willing to join in, indicating a stronger team on his side, meaning 20 more available personnel.

Thus, security was further enhanced.

Shaun felt a bit more at ease inside.

Then, he said: "Pass the word down, everyone on alert."

Everyone who received orders, performed their duties, Ji You didn’t delay further, taking He Yu and Liu Jia together, rushing to her guarding location, a place cluttered with chaotic stones, stones being the best cover, the three squatted beneath a giant stone. He Yu and Liu Jia didn’t inquire about what Ji You did or arranged during her time out, but obediently hid behind the stone with Ji You, holding their breaths—

Meanwhile—

On the opposite side of the border river.

Cheng Haoyue led a squad, cautiously hiding inside a stone cave by the border river. Because it’s very close to the border river, if they spoke too loudly, it might be heard across the river, so no one made a sound, all waiting for the leader—Cheng Haoyue to give orders.

With a layer of gray smeared on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes, Cheng Haoyue was very solemn at this moment. Just half an hour ago, he had a brief contact with Ji You, during which Ji You quickly conveyed the situation on the opposite side, then instructed him to lead a battalion to prepare to attack over.

...

Cheng Haoyue was actually very tense inside; if the plan succeeded, they might earn a bonanza of points, thinking about it made his blood boil.

But!

The same goes for the high risk, a slight mistake, and his group might end up unfinished.

However—

The enemy had produced such a thing, meaning they had no retreat, and must go all out.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Cheng Haoyue quietly awaited instructions, far across the border river, He Nu, as the only ’left-behind child’ in the enemy camp’s Seventh Team, was the only person in the vast base of the Seventh Team, which was very tranquil, calling out to the sky did not yield even the sound of a mosquito. At this moment, with a calm face, He Nu was also counting the time silently in his mind—
