Before Information Reviewer Yin finished speaking, the originally solemn atmosphere in the conference room was instantly ignited, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, with shock and suspicion, but more of a glimmer of hope for survival!
"Are you serious?!" Mr. Zhou stood up suddenly, his voice trembling with excitement.
He knew very well that if they could find the lair of the mastermind behind the scenes, even if it was just a stronghold, it would be a key step in turning the tide of the war for them.
Information examiner Yin nodded vigorously, his eyes behind the glasses firm. "Based on cross-verification of various intelligence, I am 70% sure. That location is extremely secret, and... according to the data, there have been abnormal energy fluctuations there recently, which are similar to the signal characteristics of several traitor secret communications we detected before."
Mou Xuan's eyes flashed, and he had made up his mind.
He doesn't need to be 100% sure, 70% is enough for him to take the risk!
The current situation does not allow them to hesitate at all.
Every moment of delay would put the alliance in greater danger.
"Okay!" Mou Xuan slammed the table fiercely. The sound was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable determination. "Inspector Yin, immediately sort out the specific location of the 'Underworld Lord's' lair and all related information. We will set off immediately!"
"Chief, this is too dangerous!" Chen Yao immediately stepped forward, her beautiful face full of worry, "Since the other party is the mastermind behind this, their lair must be heavily guarded, and there may even be a powerful force that we don't know about."
"Yaoyao, I understand." Mou Xuan looked at her, his eyes gentle but firm, "But we have no choice. Passively waiting will only make us fall into a deeper quagmire. Only by taking the initiative can we have a glimmer of hope. Moreover, I must see with my own eyes what this 'Underworld Lord' is doing, and what the so-called 'Purification Rain' is."
Mr. Lu also recovered from his previous distraction. At this moment, he no longer worried about whether the traitor was real or not. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Chief, I suggest that we select the most elite warriors in the alliance to accompany us and formulate a thorough action plan. This matter is of great importance and cannot be missed!"
"I agree," the conservative leader also echoed, "but the operation must be secret, and we must not let the traitor Yu and his assistant Xu know anything about it."
Mou Xuan nodded. "Of course. Only a few elite troops will be selected for this operation. Inspector Yin, you will stay at the command center and continue to monitor the movements of the traitors and provide intelligence support. Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lu, the defense and stability of the alliance will be left to you."
"Yes, Chief!" everyone responded in unison.
Soon, a detailed map and related information appeared in front of Mou Xuan.
The target location is located deep in a hidden canyon surrounded by mountains on the edge of an abandoned city. The terrain is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Mou Xuan immediately selected ten of the most skilled and adaptable psychics in the alliance, and together with him and Shen Yao, they formed a twelve-man assault team.
In order to ensure the secrecy and efficiency of the operation, they did not use any large vehicles, but chose to move stealthily on foot.
The night is as dark as ink and the wind is cold.
The team sped along the rugged mountain road, and everyone's nerves were on edge.
Chen Yao followed closely beside Mou Xuan, the cold moonlight shining on her resolute face. She lowered her voice and said, "Brother Xuan, I always feel a little uneasy. Since this 'Underworld Lord' can plan such a huge conspiracy, he is definitely not an ordinary person. If we rashly break into his lair like this, will we..."
Mou Xuan held her slightly cold hand, conveying strength and comfort: "I know what you are worried about. But believe me, and believe in our partners. We are not going to die, but to find the truth and the key to break the deadlock. No matter what lies ahead, we will face it together."
Chen Yao felt the warmth of his palm, and the uneasiness in her heart was gradually dispelled by a warm current. She nodded vigorously, and her eyes became firm again: "Well, I'll accompany you!"
After several hours of forced march, the team finally arrived at the canyon entrance marked on the map before dawn.
There are steep cliffs on both sides of the canyon, and only a narrow passage winds its way deep into it.
There was a faint smell of decay in the air, which made people shudder.
"Everyone be careful, the magnetic field here is a bit disordered, and communication equipment may be disturbed." A psychic who is good at reconnaissance in the team reminded in a low voice.
Mou Xuan made a gesture, signaling the team to stop.
He carefully observed the terrain at the entrance of the canyon, and his mental power slowly spread out, sensing the movements around him.
After countless times on the brink of life and death since his rebirth, he has a beast-like instinct for danger.
"There is no obvious ambush at the entrance, but it must be full of traps inside." Mou Xuan said in a deep voice, "Everyone stay alert, two people in a group, take turns to cover each other and move forward. Remember, our primary goal is to detect and obtain intelligence, and then to destroy. If you find something wrong, retreat immediately, don't fight to the end!"
"Understood!" everyone responded in a low voice.
The team sneaked into the canyon like ghosts.
The further you go in, the darker the light becomes and the stronger the smell of decay in the air becomes.
From time to time, the sound of dry bones being crushed could be heard underfoot, which sounded particularly harsh in the silent canyon.
Suddenly, one of the team members walking in the front felt empty under his feet and was about to fall with a scream.
In a flash, his teammate beside him was quick-witted and grabbed his arm, and at the same time used force from his waist to pull him back.
Everyone looked down and saw that the place where the team member had just stood was actually a cleverly camouflaged deep pit. The bottom of the pit was covered with sharpened metal spears, flashing a cold light.
