The man called the third brother licked his slightly chapped lips and chuckled softly.
"Perfect timing! I haven't even had a chance to warm up the crystal cores I just received! Let's go check them out! If there are any good ones, we'll have some fun together! Old Zhu, are you coming?"
He turned to look at another man leaning against the wall, who seemed somewhat absent-minded.
"I'm not going... This batch of 'new goods' isn't of good quality. Yesterday, news came back that even Team Leader Huang was caught and died outside 'Flame Heart'."
The higher-ups are furious and discussing how to deal with 'Flameheart'...
I have to go help out downstairs after my shift ends, so I don't have time to hang out with you guys.
"Old Zhu, you're going down there again? In the slave district now, apart from those who grow vegetables and raise pigs, the rest have almost all been killed, haven't they?"
"If it weren't for Captain Xiao bringing in this batch, we wouldn't have many 'new supplies' left at this base... And that lab downstairs, it's still operating!"
Old Zhu gave a vague reply: "Hmm... who knows what the higher-ups want... anyway, if they tell me to go, I'll go..."
Third Brother: "Old Zhu, have you heard when we're going to make our move? If we take down 'Flameheart,' we'll have all our supplies and 'new goods' in our hands, right?"
Just as the echoes of that conversation had barely faded away—pfft…pfft…pfft…
Three extremely faint, muffled thuds, like ripe berries falling naturally from branches and hitting the soft earth, came almost simultaneously...
Inside the sentry post, the three patrolmen didn't even have time to react. They felt as if they had been struck by an invisible hammer between their eyebrows or on the back of their heads. Their consciousness instantly plunged into boundless darkness, and their bodies slumped to the ground, lifeless...
Having achieved their primary objective, Lu Nange and Shi Xu did not pause their ascent.
They continued up the steps, and stopped when they were about halfway up the height and in a blind spot to the side of the watchtower.
This height and angle were just right so that their extended mental energy could reach the other two sentry posts on the left and right sides, which were a little further apart.
Lu Nange tilted her head slightly and pointed to the direction to her right.
Shi Xu immediately nodded, indicating that he understood.
The two men's mental strength was once again like that of two top snipers, silently pulling the trigger at the same time!
The mental energy entered the minds of the patrol personnel on both sides of the sentry post.
Puff... Puff...
Puff... Puff...
The same muffled sound, so faint it was almost drowned out by the night wind, came from the watchtowers on both sides.
Cleaning complete!
Clean and efficient, leaving no survivors, and without alerting any alarms!
The first breach leading into the interior of the Rock Base was silently pried open!
Lu Nange stopped at the top of the steps. Using the shadow of the outer edge of the watchtower as cover, she quickly scanned the inside of the watchtower and the surrounding area with her mental power. After confirming that it was absolutely safe, she immediately waved her hand vigorously down the steps.
The moment Chi Yanzhou saw the hand gesture, he shouted, "Go!"
Following the pre-arranged order, the team members climbed upwards one by one along the temporary metal and earth-based steps.
Everyone moved as quietly as possible, and apart from the rustling of their clothes and extremely faint breathing, there was no other noise.
When the last team member successfully climbed onto the watchtower, the group did not linger for a moment, nor did they even glance at the three gradually cooling corpses on the ground.
Lu Nange has found the stairs leading to the bottom of the wall.
She made a "follow" gesture and took the lead in walking down the path.
Behind them, Lu Beiye, Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou... and all the team members followed in turn.
