Kong Wu, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up and looked at Zhang Ruijie with vigilance:
"Brother Jie, did you hear any sound just now?"

Ye Qing also opened his eyes and said, "It sounds like a starting gun." After saying that, he stood up and strode out of the house.

After the flare is launched into the air, it will be pulled slowly down by a parachute.

When he walked over, the light of the flare had dimmed, but a faint light could still be seen.

"It's a signal flare." After saying that, he turned around and looked at Zhang Ruijie with an inquiring look, "What do you mean by firing a signal flare in the middle of the night?"

The maximum transmission distance of a flare is about 33 kilometers. According to the distance between Yaoben Base and the Observatory, it should exceed the distance.

Of course, it is also possible that he did not transmit it to the Yaoben base.

However, if a relay point is set up in the middle, there will be no problem with signal transmission.

Zhang Ruijie cursed secretly, then changed his expression and said with a smile:
"It's an agreement with the base. After 12:00 at night, if everything is safe and we find you, we will send a flare as a response."

Ye Qing glanced at him coldly, "Then why didn't you tell the doctor or Brother Song?"

"Well, it's all my fault. I forgot." Zhang Ruijie touched his nose guiltily.

"Oh, really?" Ye Qing didn't completely expose him.

"Of course, of course." Zhang Ruijie smiled awkwardly, got two cups of hot water and handed them to the two of them.

Ye Qing took it and did not continue the topic. He just said:

"It's our turn to be on duty now, you guys go to sleep."

Zhang Ruijie glanced outside the house and said, "Okay. I'll wait for Xiao He."

Not long after, He Tianyu came back breathing out white air.

Seeing Ye Qing and Kong Wu awake with their eyes wide open, his pupils shrank and he almost missed a step. "Why are you two awake?"

Kong Wu sneered, "Thanks to you."

He Tianyu looked at Zhang Ruijie, who had an angry look on his face, and then looked at Ye Qing, who had a cold look in his eyes, and was stunned for a moment, "?"

"Okay, is the water ready?" Zhang Ruijie broke the awkward atmosphere.

He Tianyu complained, "Well, I almost froze to death."

"Let's go. Let Brother Ye and Brother Kong guard the back while we go downstairs to rest." After Zhang Ruijie said this, he pulled He Tianyu and walked downstairs.

When they reached the corner, he slapped him on the head, "Didn't I tell you to stay away?"

He Tianyu said aggrievedly, "Brother Jie, I've walked far enough. It's dark outside and the snow is deep. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back if I go out.

Who would have thought that they could still hear even after walking so far?!"

Zhang Ruijie snorted coldly, "Have you forgotten that Ye Qing is an evolved human? His hearing and vision are superior to those of ordinary people."

He Tianyu also changed his gentleness during the day, and said with a fierce look in his eyes:

"If you ask me, Song Haitao and the others are down there, why don't we just get a bomb and drop it, and solve the problem?"

"Are you stupid? Those old guys, Jiang Yan, and Mo Shiyao are all big fish. You killed them all and took their bodies to report?"

He Tianyu clenched his fist and said, "Then capture him alive."

Zhang Ruijie was almost crying because of him, "There are so few of us, we are like an egg against a rock, can you win?"

After Mo Shuaifeng and Mo Zhongcheng rebelled, some of their subordinates who remained in the Yaoben base escaped from the base during this period.

Of course, most of them obey the state and officials, and will not change because of the changes above, and will remain where they are.

Zhang Ruijie was one of the core personnel who defected from the base.

It was also because there were few people who defected from Yaoben Base, so the only ones assigned to him were He Tianyu and Xiqin.

Otherwise, he would never want such a fool. "Now, we can only wait for reinforcements. I hope they can arrive before we set off tomorrow."

The two of them whispered a few more words, and then walked down quietly in the dark.

Upstairs, when Zhang Ruijie and He Tianyu's footsteps had stopped making any sound, Kong Wu stood up and headed for the stairs to check, then returned to sit next to Ye Qing, and asked in confusion, "Ye Qing, aren't we going to tell Captain Song and the others about this?"

"Not going for now."

"But they are now open about their cards, right?"

"Not counting."

Kong Wu was still pacing back and forth with a worried look on his face.

Ye Qing reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry, Kong Wu, Brother Song and the others are well prepared."

Kong Wu was a little confused.

Ye Qing analyzed:
"It's obvious that what Zhang Ruijie said about sending a team to conduct a sweep to find Dr. Song and us was true."

"It's just that finding us and bringing us back is a problem."

"So they will definitely contact reinforcements."

"The observatory is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are bunkers. Rather than meeting the enemy halfway, it is better to let the enemy come to us personally. Maybe we can use their strength to defeat them."

"Besides, the probability of the other party directly fighting us is very small. It is more likely that they will integrate first and then turn against us after they have controlled Dr. Song and the others."

"If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Yougong began to doubt the other party's identity from the moment he met him." After Ye Qing finished speaking, he stood up and took some pine wood and added it to the campfire.

Kong Wu was surprised, "I'm not saying anything bad about Ye Qing, you are obviously younger than me, how come you see things so clearly!"

"Jiang Yan analyzed it for me earlier." Ye Qing smiled.

"Oh my god, it turns out my sister is the original one!" Kong Wu said with a "tsk" sound, and his mind finally came to its senses. "So, we are playing the long game to catch the big fish?"

"Almost. But it's not too long, just one night." Ye Qing said, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to him, "Additionally, when the day breaks, we may have a tough battle to fight."

Kong Wu was shocked for a second, "Isn't this the chocolate that Sister Yan gave me before? How come you still have it?"

Ye Qing touched his nose and said, "I saved it and didn't eat it."

That was given to them by Jiang Yan when they were chatting outside.

"Okay, you go get some sleep, I'll keep watch over you." After Ye Qing finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the stairs, concentrating and listening for a while.

Apart from a little snoring, I didn't hear much noise.

He walked outside again, took out his telescope and looked around.

As I looked, I actually saw a faint fire not far away.

Just then, rustling footsteps were heard at the stairs.

Kong Wu was about to close his eyes and pretend to sleep when Song Qian and Jiang Yan appeared at the stairs.

"Brother Song, Sister Yan, why are you here?" Kong Wu had only said half of his words when he saw Qin Lang, Sun Jingtao and others also coming up.

Further back are Song Haitao and Mo Shiyao.

The remaining old men were not seen.

Kong Wu was surprised and delighted at once, "You all came up, then Zhang Ruijie and the others——"

Qin Lang grinned, "I was hit by Sister Yan's powerful tranquilizer gun. I won't wake up for a while."

Seeing that everyone had settled down, Song Haitao's eyes brightened:
"Tomorrow morning, we will deliberately delay our departure time. We will wait until the enemy reinforcements arrive." (End of this chapter)
