Fang Yanwu knew how unstable the line was, so the first thing he did after connecting was to inquire about the situation of everyone in Tang Ran's team.

It's not that he doesn't have a big picture perspective. The reason he didn't ask about the specific situation on the battlefield is that such a topic should not be asked by Fang Yanwu.

But after asking the question, there was no response from the other side.

Fang Yanwu called out "Hello" several times, each one louder than the last, muttering about how bad the line was.

Zhou Yian took a deep breath.

"Tang Ran, Meng Yizhou, and Luo Juan have lost contact."

Lost contact? How could they just lose contact? How could three of his soldiers just disappear like that?

Zhou Yian seemed to have finally found someone he could talk to about his true feelings, and he directly told them what Tang Ran, Meng Yizhou, and Luo Juan had done on the battlefield not long ago.

"Have you sent anyone to look for her? I just received a letter from Tang Ran. What do you want me to do?"

Although Fang Yanwu did not say it explicitly, Zhou Yian knew the specific meaning of his words.

"Don't worry, we've already sent people to investigate. Once we determine where the person is, we'll do our best to rescue them."

Fang Yanwu's heart, which had been in a good mood, suddenly turned from sunny to rainy with thunder.

So when he delivered the letter to Qi Min and Tang Kangnian that night, he just dropped it off and left. He didn't dare to stay. Tang Kangnian was a fool, but his wife was very smart.

…………

Thanks to Tang Ran's spatial domain, Tang Ran took Meng Yizhou and Luo Juan and chose a temporary resettlement point within a certain distance from the stronghold.

When she was walking around to familiarize herself with the environment, Tang Ran symbolically stole some soldier rations. What made Tang Ran most satisfied was that the candies inside were exactly what she wanted. If she had known that the M Army's soldier rations contained chocolate and toffee, cough cough... she would have taken justice into her own hands long ago, and no one would have been able to stop her.

"Ranran, why don't you eat?"

"I'm tired of it. When the war is won, I'll take you out to a restaurant. I'll have braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, lamb chops, and lamb dumplings, the kind that's so greasy when you bite into them..."

"There are also pork and scallion buns, the kind that are fresh out of the pan, so delicious!"

Tang Ran and Luo Juan chattered more and more excitedly, totally unaware of Meng Yizhou's resentful look. Originally, he felt that the individual rations of the M Army were quite good, but now, the more he listened to Tang Ran and Luo Juan, the hungrier he became, and the chocolate roll in his hand no longer had any appeal to him.

Alas! After all, my Chinese ancestral stomach still prefers Chinese food. The M Army stuff is just a seasoning and will only make me full to death.

While they were talking, Tang Ran suddenly stopped talking at one point, made a quiet gesture to Luo Juan, and his whole face became serious.

She knew that since they had been guarding here for three days, it was impossible that there was no useful information at all.

The M army is about to replace the leader here, and they are quite impatient. They are coming by plane. The previous colonel will arrive at the camp here tonight and return to M country by boat.

The most important thing is that the colonel who will be punished when he returns is also responsible for escorting Chinese undercover personnel back to Country M. This matter has made people feel a bit like searching for something in vain and finally getting it without any effort.

Tsk tsk~, this colonel is so unlucky that he can't even complete the last mission...

Tang Ran got the news through the space field. He still had to find a way out. After reluctantly eating a chocolate roll, Tang Ran suggested going to investigate the situation and asked Luo Juan and Meng Yizhou to stay on standby.

After strolling around and carefully observing the terrain here again, Tang Ran turned back and told Meng Yizhou and Luo Juan the news she had received before.

"He must be rescued. The sacrifices made by the undercover personnel are no less than those made by the soldiers on the battlefield. In other words, we each fight on different battlefields. We cannot watch him suffer inhumane treatment."

"But after we rescued the people, we were exposed, and all our previous plans went to waste."

"Not necessarily. Let me think about it."

Time is quite tight. A certain unlucky colonel arrived at the base here at night. It is now two o'clock in the afternoon. Tang Ran must come up with a win-win solution during this period of time, or simply abandon the supplies and retreat after rescuing the people.

Tang Ran thought about it for an entire afternoon and came up with the only solution that might be able to satisfy both parties - if all else fails, then go out to sea.

Normally, the reinforcements and supplies of the M Army should have already set out on the sea and are heading here. Tang Ran has some experience with ships. At least they are safer than fighter jets, which are prone to crashing.

"Going out to sea? Are you serious?"

"How about you tell me what to do? Honestly, even if we rescue the people before they get on board, we might not be able to get them all out of the M Army's control safely. The risk factor is very high. It's better to get on board."

After a whole afternoon, Tang Ran felt that she was almost bald from thinking about these things. She only regretted not having enough knowledge when she needed it. If Lu Jinshu was with her, it would definitely not be so troublesome. He was good at chemistry. She was almost on the verge of collapse just thinking about how to create chaos on the ship and how to control the ship. Finally, she thought of a batch of inventory in her space and came up with a solution. No matter what, it was much better than her directly exposing her superpowers.

"Don't worry too much. I've brought back the M Army's cruisers to China before, so I have experience. Let's pack up now and get to the port first to determine which ship it is. We can then get on board and proceed."

Meng Yizhou and Luo Juan, both of them, rarely raised their own questions, but Tang Ran's words that she had experience directly brought their brains, which had been so hard to grow, back to square one. They mysteriously believed in Tang Ran and were also mysteriously confident in herself.

In the minds of Meng Yizhou and Luo Juan, it is now a piece of cake for three people to control a ship of the M army. If you don’t agree, come and fight me.

Tang Ran brought the two of them to the port again. With the space field, which was the strongest monitoring, they easily found out which ship the unlucky colonel was going to take.

Originally, Meng Yizhou and Luo Juan imagined that the process of getting on board was to be cautious, quickly and accurately eliminate a few soldiers on guard, and then sneak onto the ship to avoid a series of inspections by the M army before sailing.

In fact, apart from being cautious and sneaky, which was in line with the actual situation, all other assumptions were useless.

"Do you know what it means that a phoenix without feathers is worse than a chicken?

With the new commander in office, how can the old commander, who will be punished if he returns, get any good treatment?

I only hear the laughter of the new, but never the tears of the old; that's just the reality of life."

Tang Ran was not expressing any emotion, but simply stating the facts. The lineup that boarded the ship shortly afterwards once again confirmed that what Tang Ran said was correct.

It was unimaginable that when a colonel returned to his country, there were only a dozen people on the entire ship to escort him. As a result, the fireworks that Tang Ran had piled up in his space and prepared to use as smoke bombs were useless.
