Blue Star, Death Valley, Enemy Pointing.

"Reports of attacks on multiple outposts have arrived. What should we do?" Qiao Bas frowned, his face full of anger.

Bakham smiled faintly, "This was all expected. Give me a little more time, and they're doomed!"

“If this goes on for too long, I’m worried that the soldiers will develop serious psychological burdens!” Gulma said with concern, unfolding the projector. “This is the current status of the various garrisons that I just received. Take a close look!”

In the scene, the soldiers look listless and worried, glancing around every now and then.

This is still considered a good place; some are completely sealed off in their bunkers, refusing to come out no matter how much they are shouted from the outside.

Qiao Bass turned around. "Poison Dragon, use stimulant poison. We must keep them in combat mode!"

Poison Dragon said with a bitter face, "Fine!"

The Hydra members immediately rushed to various locations and secretly used stimulant poisons, in moderate doses that would not have a significant impact on the soldiers' physical and mental health.

When everyone saw the latest footage sent back, their hearts finally settled down.

"Great Strategist, this thing can only be used once every three months. You only have five days!" After saying this, Poison Dragon left without looking back, cursing inwardly, "Old fox, you're the good guy, and we Hydra clan are the bad guys, damn it!"

No one noticed the change in his expression, but Ling Min had been paying close attention and carefully noted it down...

On the other side.

The search and rescue team is resting in the mountains.

Li Tianyi, still asleep, had a furrowed brow and was sweating profusely. He would call out every now and then, "Xiaoman!"

As time went by, the scenes in the dream gradually became clearer.

Xiaoman is leading a group of people in a charge, surrounded by giant corpses, with lasers and rays filling the sky.

Suddenly, the scene shifts, and Xiaoman's entire group is dead. She is covered in blood, bent over, and panting heavily.

A giant rushed nearby and slammed down his iron bar...

"No, no!" Li Tianyi woke up with a start, his eyes bloodshot, veins bulging, and his whole body trembling. After realizing it was a dream, he smiled bitterly: "Xiaoman, please come back, okay?"

Isabelle's eyes reddened as she hugged him tightly. "Brother Tian, ​​please don't do this, okay?"

The others also woke up at this time.

“Ghost-fearing sorrow, how could we not miss Xiaoman too!” Ma Youshan patted his shoulder. “You must learn to let go; obsession will only lead you astray!”

"Canglang is right!" Luo Shan sighed, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Everyone felt depressed and fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Tianyi broke the silence first, "It's dark, let's prepare to set off!"

"good!"

After several days of working together, the search and rescue team cooperated very well and quickly cleaned up the surrounding area, leaving not a trace.

Under the cover of night, the group made their way toward the stronghold of the ancient Shu people.

Gesture: Stop!

Isabelle's nose twitched, her ears twitched, and she pointed to the 4 o'clock position. "Something's up!"

Li Tianyi gestured for everyone to crouch down, his hand signaling: "Go over there and take him down."

Luoshan moved slowly.

Soon, a huge figure appeared ahead, looking like a deer, but not quite.

"What exactly is that thing?" Luo Shan went through all the animals he knew in his mind, but still couldn't find a matching creature. He frowned and proceeded more cautiously.

My feet were on the dead branches.

The creatures were frightened and fled quickly.

It moves as fast as lightning, disappearing in a few leaps and bounds.

"They escaped!" Luo Shan stood up.

Li Tianyi and the others quickly joined him. "Speed ​​up!"

The group moved through the jungle like cheetahs...

Several tens of minutes later, they arrived near the crocodile monster's camp.

"Something's off here, everyone be careful!" Li Tianyi frowned slightly. "Let's make a quick change to the deployment. The sniper team will retreat to sniper point number two, and the demolition team will lay a large number of mines near sniper point number one, make sure the density is high. The assault team will split up, with Wolf and I each taking one person."

"clear!"

"Set off!"

The team members separated, and Li Tianyi led Luo Ying inside.

The right wing consists of Luo Shan and Ma Youshan.

The four of them moved in perfect unison.

As soon as they approached the camp, two beams of searchlight fell upon them, startling them so much that they quickly lay down on the ground and remained motionless.

A few seconds later, the beam of light disappeared.

Gesture communication: The enemy is calmer than we thought, everyone be careful!

Gesture: OK.

The two squads crossed the obstacles and entered the enemy camp.

Just as Luo Ying's right foot was about to land, Li Tianyi shouted, "Stop!"

At that moment, her toes were less than three centimeters from the ground.

Li Tianyi slowly lay down and pulled out a steel wire thinner than a hair from the grass.

Get the bomb disposal pliers out of the system space and cut the steel wire.

Luo Ying's heart pounded wildly, and she cast an apologetic glance at him.

Gesture: "Go deeper!"

The two took turns providing cover, dodging two waves of searchlights, and entered the camp.

There are two watchtowers ahead; it's impossible to get past them smoothly.

Li Tianyi, hidden in the shadows, turned towards the sniper team and gestured: Lock onto the enemy. Once we are discovered, take them out immediately.

Nalan Piaoxu had seen the message but dared not reply. "Black Rose, what should we do?"

“If Guijianchou didn’t even have this much skill, he wouldn’t have been able to grow to where he is today!” Fang Yi smiled and glanced at the watchtower on the left. “You lock onto the right.”

Below.

Li Tianyi and Luo Ying are advancing.

Suddenly, the searchlight beam from the watchtower on the left changed direction and came this way.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The moment the searchlight exploded, the one on the right also exploded.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

An alarm sounded throughout the camp.

"storm!"

Luo Ying pulled out two laser guns and fired them at the area with the most concentrated sound.

At the same time, Luo Shan and Ma Youshan also opened fire.

Lights and screams came from multiple directions, and the enemies rushing in were terrified and quickly hid behind obstacles.

"You think you're safe just by hiding?" Li Tianyi sneered and made a 'throat-slitting' gesture at the sniper team.

*Clang! Whoosh!*

The sniper bullets kept falling on the enemy ranks, making their already panicked hearts even more panicked.

"Let's take them down in one fell swoop!"

The two groups attacked simultaneously, relentlessly annihilating the enemy.

The crocodile-man squad leader shouted anxiously, "Hold on! Hold on for me!"

The soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit and were no longer obeying orders. Some fled, some pretended to be dead, and some hid.

There were fewer than a hundred people on the entire front line.

This number of people was no match for the search and rescue team; they were all killed in two charges.

While throwing out a large number of high-explosive bombs, Li Tian collected the usable weapons and supplies.

Fifty seconds later, the group evacuated.

Just as they reached a safe location, the camp was exploding continuously, with flames shooting into the sky and smoke rising straight up.

"Great! We've taken down another enemy stronghold!" Luo Shan grinned from ear to ear.

"It'll be much harder to destroy their strongholds in the future!" Isabelle smiled wryly, pointing to the green dot to the north. "The Mantis Legion is here, take cover!"

Using their camouflage, the group successfully deceived the enemy reinforcements.

"withdraw!"

Isabelle walked at the back of the group, cleaning up the traces left by the team.

Suddenly, an idea struck me: I deliberately made the traces very faint, so that they would be difficult to spot.

Every kilometer or so, roughly the same traces are left.

Two hours later, the team returned to the temporary camp, and Isabelle told them about her plan.

"The bait has been laid; let's see when they take the bait!" Li Tianyi said with a sly smile.

“I’ll go prepare right away,” Isabelle said.

“No rush!” Ma Youshan pointed into the distance. “This area is densely forested and full of dangers. They just suffered a great loss. Even if they find the traces you left behind, they won’t dare to come here rashly.”

“I predict they will definitely come between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. tomorrow!” Nalan Piaoxu said.

"There's plenty of time, everyone rest first, we'll prepare later!" Li Tianyi ordered.

The team immediately went to rest...

At dawn.

"Captain, we've found something!" The mantis scout pointed to a very faint mark. "Look!"

As the crowd gathered around, the already dim light became even dimmer, making it difficult to see not only the marks on the ground but also the faces of one's companions.

"Get out of the way!" the squad leader roared, pushing through the crowd to examine the area closely. His brow furrowed. "It looks like traces they left, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't!"

"Should we report this to the higher-ups?" a trusted aide suggested.

The squad leader launched into a tirade, yelling, "Are you an idiot? We're already disliked, and now you want the higher-ups to handle this little thing? Do you think our brothers have too many lives or what?"

The confidant looked aggrieved but dared not refute, standing there stunned.

Several mantis monsters who didn't get along with him normally suppressed their laughter, their eyes filled with provocation.

"You?" The confidant was furious and wanted to explode.

"Shut the hell up, all of you!" The squad leader's sharp eyes swept over the crowd. "Immediately pursue them in this direction, and watch your step!"

"yes!"

The scouts were very cautious and pursued the enemy relentlessly.

He quickly discovered the traces hidden in the shadows and showed them to the squad leader.

"As expected, the traces weren't completely cleaned up!" A fierce killing intent flashed in the squad leader's eyes. "Full speed ahead!"

The entire squad, nearly two hundred people, was divided into ground and air teams to pursue the enemy.

Before long, they arrived at the last trace. Ahead lay a dense forest, overgrown with weeds more than a meter high and thick with thorns.

"Shall we go in?" the confidant asked.

The squad leader hesitated, glancing around. "Except for the scouts, everyone take off!"

"Yes, sir!"

Just as they entered the dense forest, Fang Yi had already notified the members of the search and rescue team, and everyone was waiting for the enemy to enter the ambush zone.

The enemy was relatively cautious, lingering near the ambush point.

As time went on, several mantis monsters lost patience and looked anxiously at their squad leader.

The squad leader sighed inwardly and ordered, "Go in."

The mantis monsters cheered and rushed in at full speed.

Once the last person entered, Li Tianyi and Luo Shan quickly sealed the entrance and communicated using sign language.

Qin Yufei and Shangguan Shasha received the message and tightened their grip on the rope.

The Mantis Squad had arrived at the blast zone when suddenly, the squad leader felt a strong sense of crisis. "Get out of there!"

At the same time, Qin Yufei and Shangguan Shasha pulled the rope.

Boom! Rumble!

The massive explosion continued to radiate outwards, and the mantis monster squad was rapidly dwindling in number...
