Zhen Anhua sighed and turned to look at the people in the communications room. "Keep the information strictly under wraps. Anyone who dares to leak even a single word will be punished according to military law!"
"Yes!" Everyone immediately stood up and bowed.
"What do you plan to do now?" Zhen Anhua shook his head and asked Ling Yang, who was hanging his head and gritting his teeth.
"Who else is left at the Nanxiao base?" Ling Yang asked in a low voice, clenching his fists tightly.
A communications soldier immediately stood up and said to Ling Yang, "Reporting, sir, in addition to the people from Bar, there are also termites from the Dragon Group at the Nanxiao base."
"Termites?" Ling Yang roared in anger. "The general went to the Forbidden Forest, why didn't this precious healing ability user go?!"
The communications soldier was startled, then swallowed hard and said, "Reporting, sir, it seems the general ordered Bai Yi to protect a woman!"
"A woman?" Ling Yang covered his face, immediately thinking of Mu Yanxuan's strange behavior these past few days, and silently sat down in the chair.
"What woman?" Zhen Anhua asked Ling Yang, puzzled. "Hasn't the general always been averse to women?"
"Who knows what's wrong with this lunatic?" Ling Yang muttered, then suddenly sat up and said to the communications soldier, "Stop talking about that woman, give the order for the White Ants to go to the Forbidden Forest and find that person for me immediately!"
Zhen Anhua frowned upon hearing this, "Termite is just a healing-type ability user. Is it really appropriate to send him alone to the Forbidden Forest...?"
"I don't care if he dies!" Ling Yang roared. "There might be a mole within the Dragon Group right now, so we can't mobilize him for the time being. Send me three major Night Squads. I'm going to the Nanxiao base myself. That kid Qin Lichang really deserves a beating. I'll make sure he's dead!"
Ling Yang finally caught his breath after yelling, then continued to Zhen Anhua, "Zhen Anhua, select the person with the cleanest record from the Dragon Group and send him to the Forbidden Forest to find that bastard!"
“Okay.” Zhen Anhua nodded, then watched Ling Yang stride out.
"Now I'm in charge of everything at headquarters. I'm going to be very busy." Zhen Anhua sighed, then ordered the communications officer to continue maintaining contact with the people at the Nanxiao base.
Wait a minute… Zhen Anhua suddenly widened her eyes and asked urgently, “How did you know the general was missing?”
"The message came from the fishing boat and the parrot beside the general," the communications soldier said truthfully.
"Keep contacting them!" Zhen Anhua gritted her teeth.
The communications officer nodded, then reconnected the communications system with the parrot that possessed communication abilities.
“Parrot, fishing lights?” Zhen Anhua asked.
"My lord," came the parrot's voice from the communication line.
Zhen Anhua growled, "What's going on over there? Where's Mu Yanxuan?!"
The parrot's choked voice came through the call, "My lord, we encountered an ambush set up by Qin Lichang's men in the Forbidden Forest. All the ambush soldiers were superhumans. Everyone... everyone is dead... Only the general and the black cat snow fox escaped. I am also seriously injured and won't last much longer."
"Where are the fishing lights?" Zhen Anhua asked, her heart heavy.
The parrot's voice was even more desperate: "It just stopped breathing."
"I'm sorry, I can't save you." Zhen Anhua's tone turned somewhat indifferent, and he sighed silently. "We will take good care of your families."
"Thank you, sir," the parrot said softly, seemingly sobbing twice, before disconnecting the communication.
"Communication lost." The communications soldier turned to look at Zhen Anhua.
Zhen Anhua didn't say anything, but turned around and strode out, his expression somewhat complicated. He had to tell Ling Yang about these things; the mole was right next to the general.
In the Forbidden Forest, Yu Huo watched as the parrot disconnected from the communication, then snorted coldly, "He really put on a convincing act." He even mentioned that the parrot had just stopped breathing, which annoyed him.
"Alright." Yu Huo drew the weapon from his waist and cautiously began to feel his way forward. "Haven't you found Black Cat and Snow Fox yet?"
"Those two escaped pretty fast, I didn't even have time to make a move." Yu Huo sneered, kicking the lifeless Fire Fox lying on the ground. "But I've already seriously injured Mu Yanxuan, so even if that guy can escape, he can't get very far. As long as we kill him, our mission will be complete."
"This time, Lord Qin has used all his resources to deal with Mu Yanxuan, and he even went to the Nanxiao base in person." The parrot yawned, looked at the charred leaves around it, and stretched its shoulders. "So we have to succeed in this mission and kill Mu Yanxuan."
"Do you even need to tell me that?" Yu Huo looked at the Fire Fox lying on the ground staring blankly at him. He did feel a little eerie in the dark forest. He spat and suppressed his discomfort. What a damn bad luck.
Yu Huo's special ability is a fire-based ability, but it is a mutated fire-based ability. He can solidify flames into a tangible form. In this forbidden forest full of trees, his ability can be said to be the most agile and extremely powerful.
Therefore, it would be very easy for him to launch a sneak attack here. The parrot glanced at the fishing fire. So this was the purpose of Lord Qin's arrangement of the fishing fire. From the moment he lured Mu Yanxuan into the forest with false information, the plan to murder Mu Yanxuan began.
Indeed, quite a few outcasts have begun to flock to the Forbidden Forest, but the situation is not yet too serious.
But life used to be pretty happy. The parrot looked at the fire fox lying on the ground, its lower body burned beyond recognition, and the mountain leopard, its entire body charred, and silently pursed its lips. "Sorry, brother, blame it on us being on different sides."
Inside the Nanxiao base, Baiyi returned to his dwelling with a livid face.
"What's wrong with the termites?" Kachi asked curiously.
"Is the captain here?" White Ant asked, looking at Kachi, his voice suppressed.
Hearing the noise, Ji Yueyao came out of the kitchen, holding a small dough ball in her hand. She was learning to make noodles with Kaqi.
"What's wrong?"
"Captain, something has happened to the General." White Ant said in a hoarse voice, then handed the latest news from Bar to Ji Yueyao.
Ji Yueyao's expression changed slightly. She stepped forward and snatched the document in one swift motion, not even bothering to clean the flour off her hands.
"Ambushed and missing?" Ji Yueyao stared wide-eyed at the sky. "How could someone as skilled as him possibly succeed in an ambush?!" Are you kidding me?!
"He was ambushed by a mole within his own ranks. The information from above has clearly stated that it is very likely Parrot," Termite whispered.
Parrot? Ji Yueyao thought of the sunny man who had entered the Nanxiao base with them. That sunny guy with communication abilities was actually the mole?
Now is not the time to dwell on these things. Ji Yueyao sighed, then looked up at the termite, "Termite, what are you planning to do now?"
“Go find the General,” Termite said truthfully. “The mission I received from above also ordered me to quickly go to the Forbidden Forest to find the General.”
"Okay." Ji Yueyao lowered her eyes. "I'll go too." (To be continued.)
