late at night.
Outside the wall, a dark figure was moving silently, as if it had vanished into the night.
Only the wind was howling. Luo Chen tried his best to blend his body into the darkness and maintain a certain silence.
Outside, Mona and Roy were asking John why he agreed to Luo Chen's request.
Doing this would bring them no benefit whatsoever, nor would it possibly bring them any chance of success.
“John, I don’t understand what you mean. Why agree to this at this time? I don’t quite understand your thinking. Wouldn’t it be better to attack now? Besides, we’ve already breached their back door. I don’t think it’s necessary to do this.”
“I agree with Roy, John. It’s wrong of you to agree to them like that. Besides, we’re in control now. Why should we listen to them? That’s not like you,” Mona chimed in.
She leaned against the car, looking at John, and thought that her brother must have been suddenly brainwashed, otherwise he wouldn't be so confused.
Roy spread his hands toward John, his meaning clear: See? Even your own sister agrees with me, don't you understand?
“Of course I know, but why do you think that resting now is a loss for us?” John said with a sneer.
These words caused Mona and Roy to exchange a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.
Mona quickly interjected, "John, are you thinking of launching a surprise attack now, taking advantage of their current lack of vigilance? Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? I knew you wouldn't be so foolish. Look at my brain, it's all my fault."
After saying that, he patted John on the shoulder with a joyful expression.
“I knew you wouldn’t be that stupid, John. I told you you wouldn’t be that dumb,” Roy said with a light punch to John’s shoulder.
"Haha, you two, did you go to the East to learn their face-changing skills? You can change so quickly." John smiled helplessly at the two of them, shaking his head at their series of changes.
Immediately, he looked at the two of them with a serious expression.
Mona and Roy immediately became alert, thinking that John was about to give an order, and they looked ready to receive one.
But all we heard was John say calmly, "Just wait, there's nothing else. Take a break."
"What?"
"What does this mean? I don't quite understand what you're saying."
Mona and Roy were completely dumbfounded. One second they were gloating, and the next they were plunged into despair.
"Go and rest," John said coldly, ignoring their conversation.
Mona stood in front of the car door, stopping John from getting in, and said, "No, we're not leaving until you explain yourself. Otherwise, I'll lead my men in and storm in myself."
"Aren't you being ridiculous? What good will this do us? I have my own plans. You two, stay put." John was also furious and very dissatisfied with the two men's attitude.
“John, I think you should make it clear. You know the back door has been breached from the outside, and now is the best opportunity,” Roy chimed in.
Both men stared at John, putting him in an awkward position.
He smiled slowly and said, "We have reinforcements, they're already on their way. This is the perfect time to hold them off, isn't that better?"
These words left the two of them momentarily stunned.
There are even reinforcements? What kind of logic is that?
"John, you...you even prepared reinforcements?" Mona was shocked, her pupils contracting rapidly.
But he immediately realized that John was very cautious and had his own confidence in everything he did.
Sometimes, they even use their overwhelming advantage to deal with other mercenary groups, which is why John is able to have his own place in a large mercenary group.
"Are you kidding me? I must say, John, you're really careful. I admire you," Roy said, shaking his head.
Both of them were shocked by what John said.
"I'm only doing this for everyone's safety, and of course, it's not all about that," John said casually, shrugging his shoulders.
"You should understand what we need him to do in order to capture Mu Shanhai, but one thing is certain: we also need to take the initiative here and not let this country seize it."
“I didn’t originally intend for you to know these things, but you kept pressing me for details, so I have no choice but to reveal this little bit of information to you.”
"Can I get on the bus now?" John asked, looking at his sister.
Mona stepped aside and opened the car door as she did so.
"Wait, how many people are there?"
"Do you really need to know all this?" John rubbed his head, exasperated with his sister, and said, "It's only about a dozen people, but they brought ammunition. It's not much, but it'll be enough to blow them up."
"Okay, you're really ruthless."
John went into the car and closed his eyes to rest.
Mona and Roy were left outside the car. Neither of them had any prior knowledge of this matter, and more importantly, they did not have the authority to know.
While the three people were talking, a figure had already secretly hidden a few meters away from them.
[I can't believe such a thing exists! That's amazing. No wonder they do these things. They're quite something, I must say.]
Luo Chen thought to himself, "If I hadn't come out, I really wouldn't have gotten this news."
But he soon realized that the news didn't seem to mean much to him.
Their mercenary group's desire to occupy this place has nothing to do with Luo Chen, and he doesn't want to get involved now.
However, there was one more thing: the reinforcements John mentioned were a bit of a problem for Luo Chen. The sudden addition of more than ten people obviously increased their already limited numbers and made their situation even more difficult.
[Damn it, why are there so many people? Do they really have to squeeze in at this time?]
Luo Chen managed to sneak in unnoticed using his own abilities.
We still need to deal with this as soon as possible. If they break in, our people can handle it quickly. It's just a pity that we can't take action right now.
Luo Chen originally wanted to take this opportunity to kill one of the opponents. If he could do that, their troubles would be greatly reduced.
After all, a commander is still very important.
Unfortunately, Luo Chen had no chance. If he made a rash move, he might be surrounded instantly.
[Let's go back. There's not much of a chance anymore. We already know all the information we could.]
Luo Chen learned about their personnel distribution along the way, but this information was of no use to them.
The only good news was that John had a backup plan.
With no other option, Luo Chen had no choice but to return.
After returning to the villa, Luo Chen had Wu Hao, Mike, and the others return to the villa area.
"Xiao, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Mike asked, looking at Luo Chen, who had a calm expression.
Similarly, Wu Hao and Xiao Wu were also watching Luo Chen.
"There is bad news."
After Luo Chen said those words, everyone looked at each other, their expressions changing repeatedly.
Since it's bad news, it means there's going to be another problem.
Luo Chen sighed and slowly said, "I just went out and learned that they have reinforcements. This news is very bad for us. There are probably more than ten of them, and they are carrying explosives. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold the rest point by then."
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
A deathly silence fell. Everyone understood this, and they also understood the meaning behind Luo Chen's words.
Now, there is no chance left. Once the breach is breached, it will likely mean certain death for everyone.
"What, what do we do now? What can we do?" Wu Hao slumped to the ground, covering his face in anguish.
It would be one thing if the rest stop couldn't be held, but now the situation only leads to certain death.
"Commander Wu, don't be like this. It's easy to dampen morale. We still need to seize this last bit of opportunity," Xiao Wu comforted him from the side, walking over and patting Wu Hao on the shoulder.
Wu Hao hung his head dejectedly and shook his head bitterly, saying, "There's no chance anymore, absolutely no chance. At this point, all we can do is wait to die."
Luo Chen and Mike ignored Wu Hao's expression.
There's no point in saying these things now. It's the last chance anyway, so why be so discouraged?
"Mike, what's your opinion?"
Mike glanced at Wu Hao, then turned and continued, "Let's fight to the death. At this point, let's not worry about anything else. Let's just do it. Maybe there's still a glimmer of hope."
Luo Chen nodded in agreement: "For now, this is the only way."
"Oh dear, Wu Hao, you look terrible right now. Tell me, where can we get out of here? Do you have any secret passages or anything like that? Once they break in, we can just escape."
"Xiao, what do you mean?" Mike stared wide-eyed at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen chuckled and said, "What's wrong? There's no need to hold out at this point. Let's hold them off while we run away once the fighting starts. That way, we can save some lives."
At this point, Luo Chen gave Wu Hao a cold look.
"No, I only prepared two doors at the time, and I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Otherwise, I would have prepared a few more. Sigh." Wu Hao sighed.
"I see." Luo Chen had guessed it too, otherwise Wu Hao, who was so afraid of dying, would have run away long ago.
"In that case, after they break through two gates, we will directly defend the last few villas. I will lead some men to hold them off in the fourth villa, and then you can lead your men to rush towards the back gate."
"No, Brother Xiao, how can you go? I'll go and hold them off," Xiao Wu quickly said.
"At a time like this, stop fighting over these things. Do you have my skills? I can walk, can you?"
