Luo Xingyou: "Yes! A surprise attack at night would be best! The darkness is our best cover, let's catch them off guard! Strike while the iron is hot... and take their life!"
As soon as she finished speaking, He Zhuo let out an exaggerated "Awooo!" from the side, startling everyone.
He looked at Luo Xingyou with a pained and aggrieved expression, saying, "Xingyou! Why did you have to speak so quickly? 'Strike while the iron is hot'! How could you steal my line!"
Gu Qi and Shi Xu, their faces expressionless, simultaneously raised their feet and kicked him from the left and right: "Shut up!"
"Keep your voice down!"
He Zhu nimbly dodged, still yelling, "What are you doing?"
Gu Wan: "Are you sick? Your loud scream scared people to death! Who told you to be so ignorant? If you read more books, would you have to be left speechless and helpless after your lines were stolen?"
He Zhuo: "Isn't this exactly what a sneak attack is all about? What other word could it be?"
Before he could finish speaking, two voices rang out almost simultaneously, one cold and clear, the other youthful and innocent, yet they spoke in unison.
"On a dark and windy night, murder and arson are most likely to occur."
He Zhuo...
Everyone...
The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.
The scene was incredibly impactful—a seemingly fragile young girl and an innocent, adorable child uttering the harshest words in the calmest of tones...
He Zhuo: "Alright, alright, alright! I'll go back and study! I'll study like crazy! I'll study by the light of a hole in the wall! I'll finish reading the Four Great Classical Novels and then study military strategy!"
Chi Yanzhou coughed lightly, bringing the topic back on track: "It's still early. If we, dozens of people, stay here for too long, we'll be too conspicuous, easily exposed, and it will also drain everyone's energy."
"Why don't we retreat to base first, let everyone rest and recharge? We can also take this opportunity to say goodbye to Grandpa and the others, so they don't worry."
Lu Nange nodded in agreement: "Since we're going back, let's just clear out the zombies in the surrounding area and along our return route."
This will prevent unnecessary emergencies from occurring on the road during nighttime operations, which could delay the operation or expose the operator prematurely.
Chi Yanzhou nodded: "To avoid alerting the enemy... we said the plan would be postponed by two days when we left."
Gu Qi: "This is a good opportunity to test the reactions of our internal staff and check for anything suspicious."
"We can also shake off the tail that's been following us!" Shi Xu glanced in the direction where Si Sheng and his group were hiding.
Everyone nodded. Sang Che and his group were far away, and apart from He Zhuo's loud howl, the others had no idea what Lu Nange and her group were discussing.
Chi Yanzhou turned to the squad leaders and said, "Line up and retreat!"
"Yes!" Sang Che, Xie Linlin, and the others immediately carried out the order.
The fifty superhumans from Flameheart lined up neatly in their pre-arranged groups.
Only Xie Lin'an, while lining up, kept scratching his head...
Xie Linlin: "Do you have lice?"
Xie Lin'an: "Report to Team Leader Chi!"
"Speak." Chi Yanzhou's gaze swept over him.
Xie Lin'an straightened his back, his tone full of confusion: "We came all this way with such a large force, weren't we supposed to take down Panshi today? Why are we retreating without even getting close? Isn't this a wasted trip?"
Xie Linlin, standing nearby, grabbed Xie Lin'an's inner arm and pinched the soft flesh: "Xie Lin'an! Shut up! Following orders is the first lesson! If you talk nonsense again, you'll be left to guard the base next time!"
Chi Yanzhou raised his hand to stop Xie Linlin, looked directly at Xie Lin'an, and his voice suddenly turned stern.
"This is the first and last time! From now on, anyone who questions military orders on the battlefield will be dealt with according to regulations and will be permanently barred from joining our ranks."
Now, listen up, everyone: the plan has changed. The situation at Panshi is more complicated than expected, and a direct assault would be too costly.
We need more thorough preparation and a more opportune moment. Let's go back first, and take down the rock in a couple of days..."
Xie Lin'an was stunned by these resounding words and immediately straightened his back: "Understood!"
