"What are you all standing there for? Get to work!" Luo Chen glanced at the crowd, only to find that none of them were moving; they were all frozen in place.

This made Luo Chen laugh in exasperation, and he scolded, "No, do I have to invite you all over one by one?"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, everyone realized what was happening and hurriedly went to complete their respective tasks.

Mu Shanhai and his group remained silent. At this moment, no one wanted any trouble to happen; if something went wrong, it would be disastrous.

Mu Shanhai looked at Luo Chen and said, "Xiao, where are we going? Should we hide in the room, or..."

Luo Chen frowned and said helplessly, "Didn't I just say that all of you should go with Wu Hao's men to a safe place later? It's probably Wu Hao's secret room. You'll be safer there, and there will be some protection. If a fight breaks out, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you all."

Someone like Wu Hao must have his own safe house; it's impossible for him not to.

As for Mu Shanhai and the others, Luo Chen would naturally place them there. This time it was different from before, since the other side had a large number of people. Luo Chen was afraid that he would not be able to take care of everyone, and also to prevent Mu Shanhai and the others from getting hurt.

Mu Shanhai nodded slightly, understanding that Luo Chen was doing this for their own good. They couldn't help Luo Chen much here; on the contrary, they would only distract him.

"I'll arrange for two people to guard outside. You guys can all stay inside with Wu Hao's men. I'll go ask him later."

After saying that, Luo Chen prepared to turn around and leave. There was still some time, and the other side would naturally not attack during the day.

No mercenary would choose to launch such a rash attack without adequate security and intelligence, since nighttime is the best time to attack.

This gap in the middle also allows Luo Chen and Wu Hao to quickly set up a defense.

"Wait, Xiao, what about me?" Qi Yunlong pointed to himself and said, wanting to report that he was busy too.

Although he didn't know how many people were on the other side, he was still a grandmaster, so he should at least do his part.

Luo Chen squinted at him and slowly said, "You should just stay with them in the safe house. Protecting them is enough. Don't cause any trouble now."

As soon as he said it, Luo Chen felt it was inappropriate, since saying that Qi Yunlong was causing trouble at this time was quite offensive.

He's a master-level figure, how can you say that?

"How about this, you'll be in charge of guarding outside the safe house, okay? As the last line of defense, you'll be responsible for relaying messages."

"Okay, no problem." Qi Yunlong smiled with satisfaction. From the beginning, he had been following Luo Chen like a useless piece of trash, and the key was that he was injured every time. This made Qi Yunlong doubt whether he was really that useless.

Luo Chen, who was at the same level as him, was the true master, while he himself was somewhat lacking.

Qi Yunlong spoke up because he wanted to prove himself.

Luo Chen was well aware of Qi Yunlong's thoughts, but he couldn't spare a few words of comfort right now. He could only reluctantly arrange a position for Qi Yunlong so that he could deal with the matter as soon as possible.

"Go back to the villa area first. Remember to take weapons, medicine, and food. I'll come find you after I've taken care of those."

Afterwards, Luo Chen, along with Mike and Number Five, followed Wu Hao's men to the basement of the villa.

"Wow, Lao Wu, you're something else! You actually have a place like this, with such thick steel plates. I was right, someone like you has a basement like this."

Luo Chen sneered, saying that this was just something he had guessed from reading novels, since such plots often appear in novels.

Wu Hao smiled faintly: "Hey, don't laugh at me. This is for safety. After all, how can we live like this without leaving ourselves a way out? It's also for easy monitoring, right? Do you think everyone is like Jiang Tao, with a big family and business who isn't afraid of anyone?"

[I understand now. This is the difference between Young Master Wang and ordinary young masters.]

"It must have cost a lot of money," Luo Chen said with a chuckle as he plopped down on the middle table. "Is this where you monitor every villa and rest area?"

Wu Hao nodded, looking somewhat helpless. Luo Chen's words implied that all of Wu Hao's arrangements had been discovered.

Noticing Wu Hao's gaze, Luo Chen smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Don't worry about me. I just accidentally discovered you were monitoring me last night. Sigh, for people like us who live one day at a time, of course we have to be careful."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others in the monitoring room changed, including Lina and the short-haired woman.

They had all assumed that Luo Chen and his group were being monitored, but now Luo Chen's words made them feel like fools.

"..." This left Wu Hao speechless.

What's the difference between this and taking your pants off and defecating in the street?

"Alright, Commander Wu, Xiao, let's get down to business." Mike, being the most composed person present, was the first to break the strange stalemate among them.

Wu Hao got up and walked towards the short-haired woman, patting her on the shoulder in acknowledgment.

The short-haired woman nodded slightly, pressed a few buttons on the computer, and then the image appeared on the large screen.

Wu Hao pointed with his right hand and said, "Look, this is the complete surveillance footage from that time. However, because it was quite far away, the footage isn't very clear, but you can still get a general idea of ​​what happened."

Luo Chen and the other two stared at the screen, which was showing the scene of Mona getting out of the car that day. However, the video was more complete, while the video that Wu Hao showed them that day only showed Mona's figure and was not very complete.

"So many vehicles, there must be quite a few people." Number Five looked at the screen with surprise. These people were equivalent to two-thirds of the Iron Wolf mercenary group.

Mike echoed the sentiment, "Hmm, judging from this, there are quite a few people. They could easily be considered a medium-sized mercenary group, probably close to fifty people."

Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting that the other side was really going all out to mess with him this time.

Besides, you've already lost an arm, why do you still want to come looking for revenge? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

If you're coming, then come. Why bring so many people?

"Let me tell you, this woman's hand was cut off by me."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Luo Chen with shocked expressions.

It's as if it's saying, "My goodness, I didn't expect you to be so insensitive to women."

"Xiao, you're really ruthless," Wu Hao said sheepishly.

The two girls in the room quietly moved a little closer to Luo Chen's position.

"How can you complete a mission if you don't take drastic measures?"

"Alright, alright, it was just a joke." Wu Hao clapped his hands, gesturing for everyone to gather around.

"Let me share my thoughts. There are probably more than forty-five people on the other side, and judging from their posture, they must all be very strong."

Wu Hao's words were essentially meaningless; this was a truth everyone understood.

"Xiao, how many people are there in total?" Wu Hao asked Luo Chen.

"Not counting the others, we have fifteen people who can fight."

“Besides them, I only have twelve people left here. Originally, there was also Johnny, but…” Wu Hao said, his eyes dimming.

Luo Chen and the others also realized that the person who was killed in the morning was probably him.

"In that case, there are a total of twenty-seven people, which is about right. We have a fighting chance." Luo Chen stroked his chin and estimated.

His own strength was enough to deal with more people, and if there were other experts on the other side, then only Luo Chen could handle them.

The difference in numbers wasn't particularly large. Although it wasn't a one-on-one situation, Luo Chen and his team still had an advantage.

Luo Chen continued, "In any case, the rest stop you built has an advantage. We can ambush inside the walls, while the other side can only break through a gap if they want to attack. So, Lao Wu, tell me about the structure of your walls and where the weakest points are."

Seeing that Wu Hao seemed a little confused, Luo Chen added, "It's where it's most vulnerable to attack."

Wu Hao nodded to indicate that he understood, and then gestured to Lina, who brought up the blueprints on the computer and displayed them on the big screen.

"This place is like a wall built around the villa. Besides the exit at the front, there's another exit at the back of the villa, but it's smaller there. I guess it's something I left for myself." Wu Hao pointed to a dot on the screen and chuckled.

"Only two?" Luo Chen seemed a little puzzled.

Wu Hao nodded heavily.

"You're safe above the wall now, the barbed wire is electrified, right?"

"How did you know? But because I'm trying to save electricity, I don't turn on the power most of the time, but it's always available."

"This makes it impossible for them to get through the barbed wire, but they are still a little worried, since barbed wire is not a difficult thing to get through."

“If that’s the case, I propose setting up two lines of defense, with six or seven people on each line,” Mike offered his opinion.

He believed that at this point, it would be very difficult for the opposing side to break through in the early stages.

Luo Chen thought so too. When it came to war, he had watched a lot of TV dramas when he was a child. He knew a lot about war, including the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and various ancient historical war films.

Although Luo Chen wasn't very familiar with the basics, he was roughly there. To launch an attack in the first round, the opponent would need to have an extremely powerful weapon.

It completely turned Luo Chen and his group upside down, but judging from the video, the other side clearly didn't have any.

"I agree. To be honest, in terms of ability in this area, I'm definitely not as good as you guys. Sigh." Wu Hao sighed softly.

"Why are you sighing?" Luo Chen smiled.

Wu Hao shook his head and explained, "It's just a bit of a pity. The family business we've built up over five or six years is probably going to be gone today. It's quite upsetting to think about."

"However, they will definitely pay the price for killing my people like this."
