Chi Yanzhou: "All personnel, maintain battle formation and withdraw!"

Thus, in the eyes of Si Sheng and his group, who were still secretly observing from a distance, they saw Lu Nange and her group begin to withdraw from the vicinity of the Pan Shi Base in an orderly manner, just as abruptly as when they appeared.

Not long after, the sound of a vehicle engine starting could be heard, and the sound quickly faded away, indicating that it had driven directly away from the rocky area.

Jin Xiao craned his neck, looking puzzled: "Huh? Yan-ge and the others left already? All talk and no action? What's going on?"

Si Sheng's gaze, however, seemed much deeper. He slowly shook his head, his tone certain: "No, they will definitely go."

Jin Xiao was even more puzzled: "Didn't they all go back? The car is nowhere to be seen!"

Si Sheng looked in the direction Lu Nange and the others had left: "Let's go, let's go back to the base first and observe the situation."

Meanwhile, Lu Nange and her group did not delay and immediately embarked on their journey back to the Flameheart Base.

On their return journey, they did not pursue speed. Instead, like the most patient farmers tilling the land, they thoroughly cleared away all the wandering and hiding zombies along the route and in the surrounding areas.

The light of supernatural power flickered briefly amidst the ruins, accompanied by the muffled thuds of zombies falling to the ground.

......

Flameheart Base, late at night.

All was quiet, broken only occasionally by the rhythmic footsteps of the patrol team.

At 1:30 a.m., several dark figures began to move around near the Lu and Chi family villas...

Lu Xici, Gu Qi, Sang Che, Sang Yan, He Zhuo, Ji Xian... Go and inform the captain and members to gather at the parking lot!

At 1:45 a.m., Sang Che, He Huaijing, Xie Linlin, Chi Qi, Zhang Ao, and four others, each driving a pre-prepared vehicle, silently glided along the roads inside the base to their respective team members' accommodations.

A soft knock on the door and a low-pitched call jolted the team members awake, and they quickly dressed...

At 2:10 a.m., when the fifty selected superhumans arrived at the base's parking lot, they found Lu Nange, Chi Yanzhou, and their group standing quietly in the cool moonlight, waiting for them.

The team members automatically found their positions according to the groups they had formed during the day and began to line up.

Chi Yanzhou stood at the very front of the formation: "Attention, everyone!"

"stand at attention!"

"Right face—all aligned!"

"Look ahead!"

"Report your numbers!"

The formation reacted immediately, straightening its bodies and turning its heads.

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

...

Forty-nine!

"Fifty!"

Sang Che: "Report to Team Leader Chi! The night raid team is 50 men, and 50 men are present! All equipment has been checked. Please give instructions!"

Chi Yanzhou: "My fellow Flameheart teammates, it's a dark and windy night, the perfect time for murder and arson!"

Tonight, we have only one goal—to take down Rock Base and rescue the trapped survivors!

His voice suddenly rose: "Tell me, do you—have confidence?!"

"Yes!!" Fifty people roared in unison.

"Very good!" Chi Yanzhou said no more, and waved his arm: "Get in the car! Let's go!"
