He decided that he would never deal with any researchers again, even if a knife were held to his throat, he would never take on such protection missions again.

"Alright, Lao Xu, stop talking." Zhou Siyun interrupted the researcher who was about to speak, and said seriously, "In terms of protection experience and ability, Captain Gao is much better than us. He must have his own reasons for making this arrangement."

As soon as the words were spoken, the faces of the protection team members all turned very ugly.

They are Allied soldiers who take pride in shining on the battlefield and honor the scars on their bodies.

Zhou Siyun's words were nothing short of a blatant mockery of these people, implying that they were incapable of going to the battlefield and could only perform such simple protective tasks.

“What Siyun means is that Captain Gao and your comrades are great heroes who protect citizens and have rich combat experience, unlike us, who are powerless.” Naya quickly spoke up to smooth things over, quietly tugged at Zhou Siyun’s sleeve, and said with a smile to Captain Gao and his team, “Then we’ll have to trouble you to protect us. Captain Gao, you should also be careful.”

"Um."

Captain Gao nodded, waved, and led his team into the pitch-black darkness.

"Naya, you're being way too cautious." The researcher surnamed Xu was quite dissatisfied with her attitude. "They're just a bunch of bandits, why are you putting on such a smiling face? Besides, this is just..."

The man called Afei took off his helmet, glared at the researcher, and the researcher surnamed Xu immediately fell silent.

Heaven knows that this Ah Fei was not only tall and muscular, but also looked fierce and menacing, with a square face, a full beard, and eyes as big as copper bells filled with murderous intent.

"You seem to have never heard a word before." Afei's voice was as rough as his appearance, and his booming voice echoed in the corridor: "Be careful what you say."

He was different from Captain Gao, who was under Chu Yunmu's command. He was a member of Yu Wei's command, and in the early days he followed Yu Wei to hunt monsters and eat poisonous snakes in the primeval forest.

"4413, 4413, please respond if received..."

The communicator rang, and Afei immediately answered it. Captain Gao's voice came through: "4413, 4413..."

"4413 received..."

"Safe. Meet at the designated location."

"Roger that!" Afei put down the communicator and waved to his team members. "Everyone, prepare to move out."

The researchers were beaming with excitement as they quickly packed their bags, eager to rush inside.

"You guys, follow me and clear the way, the five of you bring up the rear."

After briefly explaining their respective tasks, and seeing everyone lined up in an orderly fashion, Afei made a gesture, turned on his powerful flashlight, and stepped into the darkness first.
