At 2:30 a.m., a convoy consisting of three off-road vehicles and two pickup trucks drove out of the Flameheart Base, quickly blending into the night, and sped towards their target—the Rock Base.

The headlights were only turned on with the necessary low beams as the car cautiously explored the road in the dark.

As they approached the outer perimeter of the rocky area, the lead vehicle noticeably slowed down.

To avoid attracting the attention of the Pan Shi base too early with the beams of the headlights and the noise of the engine, Lu Nange and her group chose to park their car at the edge of an abandoned factory area that was farther away than the parking area in the morning, with more complex terrain and more cover.

The vehicle is turned off.

The continuous abnormal temperature rise meant that even in the dead of night, the residual heat in the air had not dissipated, and there was even a faint glimmer of light on the horizon, rather than pure darkness.

The moonlight and sparse starlight barely outlined the ruins. While visibility was poor, it wasn't a problem to see the uneven ground beneath their feet and the obstacles not far ahead, which provided some convenience for their subsequent stealth advance...

With a slight thought, Lu Nange stored the five cars into her personal space.

He turned his head and his gaze fell on Shi Xu.

"I'll lead the way, and I'll be responsible for reconnaissance and route selection... Brother Xu, you cover the rear, and use your mental energy to cover the fan-shaped area behind us. Immediately warn us of any unusual activity."

"Don't worry, leave the rear to me." Shi Xu turned around and walked towards the end of the line.

Lu Nange: "Attention everyone! Stay close to the person in front, watch your step, avoid any objects that may make noise, and breathe softly!"

Remember our guiding principles for the next operation—stealth, speed, and a single, decisive strike!

Chi Yanzhou: "From this moment on, we are the shadows, until the moment we tear apart the rock-solid defenses with our own hands! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the fifty men replied in hushed tones, their voices short and forceful.

"Let's go!" Lu Nange waved her arm forward and moved first, as if blending into the night.

The entire team began to operate silently.

The team members maintained a distance from each other, following Lu Nange one after another like ghosts.

The team stayed close to the ruins and shadows, avoiding the searchlights sweeping back and forth from the watchtower at the stone gate...

They moved silently along the base of the rock wall, using its shadow as the best cover.

Everyone was on edge, their ears catching any unusual sound, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily...

After a tense and suspenseful stealth, the team finally arrived at an area located to the side and rear of the base.

Lu Nange used her mental energy to probe the area and found that there were relatively few sentry posts above, making it the weakest point in the rock-solid defense system.

Lu Nange lowered her voice to a whisper: "Aye, Xingyou, Zhuoge, Xiange... get the ladder halfway up!"

Lu Beiye, Luo Xingyou, He Zhuo, and Ji Xian immediately reached out, and metal and earth-elemental steps appeared on the wall, leading them up the perimeter of the wall...

Chi Yanzhou scanned the surroundings and above: "Maintain absolute silence, steady your breathing, and don't move! Wait for the signal!"

"Shi Xu, let's go!" Lu Nange shouted in a low voice and took the lead on the earthen steps.

Shi Xu followed closely behind, the two deliberately maintaining a safe distance of several meters between them, so that they could support each other and avoid overlapping or interfering with each other's mental detection range due to being too close.

As their bodies began to move upwards, their immense spiritual power silently spread towards the watchtower above them.

Inside the sentry post, the atmosphere was completely different from the tense and solemn one outside the wall.

The patrolmen on the three rocks were in a state of complacency.

One of them stretched and yawned widely...

"Third brother, it's our turn to rest tomorrow, how about it? Let's go to the slave quarters and pick out a few girls to play with? I heard Captain Xiao got a batch of 'new stock'!"

A man with cloudy eyes nudged his companion with his elbow, a lewd smile on his face.
