Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

The four then quickly but extremely cautiously crept up to a spot not far behind the enemy, and swiftly ended the brief encounter with a series of precise strikes that were almost simultaneous.

They overcame the obstacle without making a sound and then continued their journey.

After traversing this dangerous area, the group found a relatively safe place to rest for a while. Although they were exhausted, no one dared to relax even slightly.

At this moment, Xiaoya tried to contact the outside world again to get further guidance, "Hello? Commander, please tell us what strategy is most appropriate at this stage..."

The other party had clearly anticipated such inquiries, and thus offered advice without hesitation.

"Based on the existing intelligence analysis, you can choose to directly attack the target location, or you can first gather more clues and gradually approach the core area; the specific plan to be adopted depends on the specific situation."

After listening to this, Xiaoya turned to her teammates and repeated what she had heard.

Su Ting thought for a moment and then said, "I think we can split into two groups. One group can go to gather information to distract the enemy, while the rest can seize the opportunity to attack the core area and carry out a surprise attack mission. What do you think?"

The proposal was immediately approved by everyone. So everyone immediately began to discuss and assign specific tasks: Alexander and Qin Hao would team up to form a reconnaissance team; while Su Ting and Xiao Ya would be responsible for preparing for the raid on the main attack route.

Just as they were organizing the necessary supplies and equipment, Qin Hao suddenly looked at his companions and said...

"Hey, this collaboration has been really great. No matter how it ends, we'll always be the best of comrades, right?" His words were tinged with pride.

The latter laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Of course! Being able to go through all of this together is an incredibly precious experience in itself!" He then patted the former on the shoulder in response.

Chapter 251 Complete the Mission with All Our Might

With the allocation details finalized, Su Ting began checking his equipment to ensure that every step was flawless.

He drew his tactical knife from his waist, its blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight, then sheathed it. Next, he took several small drones from his backpack and checked their power and sensors one by one.

“This operation is of utmost importance, and we must do everything in our power to complete the mission,” he said to Xiaoya, who was tidying up the communication equipment beside him.

Xiaoya nodded. "I understand. We've come this far, we can't afford to falter at this crucial moment. You and Qin Hao need to quickly ascertain the enemy's situation and bring back as much useful information as possible."

Su Ting smiled slightly, "Don't worry, reconnaissance is my forte. We will gather all the necessary data as quickly as possible and ensure that we are not detected by the enemy."

After saying that, he greeted Qin Hao: "We should set off now. How's the situation in Alexander?"

Alexander was adjusting his thermal imager to ensure a clear view. "I'm ready. Once you find any valuable intelligence, I will immediately confirm it and provide support."

Qin Hao gripped his assault rifle tightly, a confident smile spreading across his face. "Then let's proceed according to plan! Remember to stay in touch, and don't risk anything alone."

The four exchanged a resolute look, and then Su Ting and Qin Hao quietly left the camp and moved towards the designated area.

In the darkness, two figures moved silently through the forest, quickly approaching their target location thanks to their excellent stealth skills.

Along the way, Qin Hao constantly scanned the surroundings with night vision goggles, and any abnormality would be exposed under his surveillance.

After traveling for some time, the two finally arrived at the perimeter of the abandoned mine. Qin Hao gently patted Su Ting on the shoulder as a reminder. The latter then opened a mini tablet and began to deploy a pre-programmed micro reconnaissance drone.

The drone took off silently and flew towards the location of the mine.

The images transmitted back on the screen gradually revealed the complex and dense terrain layout around the abandoned mine, including several low and dilapidated huts and various piles of debris scattered around.

“It looks like this place was once used as a temporary shelter,” Su Ting said in a low voice.

“That’s right,” Qin Hao added, staring at the screen, “and there are guards on the move—it doesn’t look like a simple checkpoint.” Several armed guards could be seen patrolling back and forth in the corner of the image.

"Fortunately, there aren't many of them." After observing carefully for a while, Su Ting analyzed, "We can use the surrounding cover to gradually approach and take care of these guys when they change shifts."

Just then, a mouse scurried past their feet, making a slight noise that caught their attention, but fortunately, it was not spotted by the enemy in the distance.

Qin Hao let out a light breath and continued, "Then let's do it your way for now, but we have to be quick, accurate, and ruthless to avoid any unforeseen complications."

They then began to advance cautiously, slowly approaching each available piece of cover...

When the distance was close enough that the situation on the other side could be clearly seen with the naked eye, Su Ting suddenly reached out and grabbed his comrade who was about to step forward and launch an attack.

"Wait, something seems wrong." He keenly noticed that the guards who usually changed shifts regularly had suddenly been joined by some unidentified people in the patrol team.

Faint whispers could even be heard coming from inside the building.

Chapter 252 Acting Cautiously

Qin Hao followed Su Ting's gaze toward the mine, his brow furrowing slightly. "Are you saying there's a larger force hidden here? Has our operation been exposed?"

"It's too early to say, but we must remain vigilant."

Su Ting said in a deep voice, then quickly entered a few lines of commands on the tablet to change the drone's flight path so that it could further investigate the true situation inside the mine. "It seems we need to proceed with more caution. We'll act only after we've confirmed it's safe."

The drone took off again, slowly approached the building, hovered there, and activated its infrared camera to scan the interior. The images quickly showed the general structure of the building.

Not only were people gathered here seemingly engaged in some kind of discussion, but there was also an unspecified number of armed forces stationed there.

Upon seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but gasp: "These guys were indeed prepared. Luckily, we discovered the problem in time, otherwise we would have rashly rushed in to our deaths!"

“That’s true.” Su Ting nodded in agreement with his teammate’s point of view, while his mind raced as he considered a solution. “In that case, it is obviously no longer appropriate to break in directly. It would be safer to retreat to our original position and discuss the next steps with the rest of the team.”

The two nodded in tacit agreement and immediately returned to their base along the same route, using wireless communication to inform the other members of the intelligence they currently possessed.

"Alexander, Xiaoya, please be prepared for a potentially unpredictable situation."

"According to the latest investigation, the enemy's defenses are far more stringent than anticipated," Qin Hao said seriously. A swift response came from the other side: "Roger that, we'll head back immediately to rendezvous."

When everyone gathered again, no one looked relaxed, and the air seemed to be filled with a heavy and tense atmosphere.

Everyone sat around a huge rock and began a thorough discussion, sharing their opinions and striving to find the most appropriate way to overcome the current difficult situation.

After some discussion, Su Ting concluded: "In conclusion, I believe the most ideal solution is still to distract the enemy and create an opportunity for a final breakthrough."

"But at the same time, we must also ensure that we can have effective communication with each other at any time and make timely adjustments according to the situation."

Xiaoya listened attentively to Su Ting's explanation, and after a moment's thought, asked, "So how exactly should this be implemented? Is it necessary to reassign tasks?"

Su Ting looked at her with a firm gaze: "We need to redistribute the work. You and Alexander will launch a feint attack to draw the enemy's attention; Qin Hao and I will sneak in from the other side to find the exact location of the Shadow."

Qin Hao patted Su Ting on the shoulder, "Brother, it's up to us now. Be careful, and don't get bogged down in battle."

"Understood. Let's protect ourselves." Su Ting replied softly.

The four exchanged glances again before heading off in different directions. Su Ting and Qin Hao walked along the edge of the dense forest, their hearts filled with both tension and an unwavering belief in victory.

They passed through the last row of trees, and the entrance to the abandoned mine was clearly visible before them. Moonlight shone on the ruins, adding to the eerie atmosphere. Su Ting took a deep breath and whispered to Qin Hao, "Get ready, let's go in."

Qin Hao tightened his grip on his weapon and nodded. The two exchanged a resolute glance, then quietly approached the seemingly peaceful land that harbored countless unknown dangers.

Just as he stepped into the mine, Qin Hao suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Hey, where do you think we should go to celebrate after this mission?"

Chapter 253 Avoiding Potential Threats

Su Ting smiled slightly. Although the other person's face was not clearly visible in the darkness, the lighthearted teasing in his voice warmed one's heart. "Don't rush to think about these things. Let's finish what we're doing first."

“Speaking of which,” Qin Hao continued in a low voice, but his tone was slightly relaxed, “we haven’t really relaxed in so long. How about we go find a hot spring hotel after we successfully complete this mission?”

Su Ting shook his head, but didn't completely dismiss the suggestion. "Hmm, it sounds good, but we'll have to wait until everything is over. Speaking of which, you always manage to find a way to relax during these tense times."

By this time, they had gotten close enough to see the outlines of the buildings ahead.

The mine entrance was shrouded in a dim light, making it seem rather unsafe. All around was quiet, broken only by the faint sounds of machinery operating in the distance and the occasional chirping of birds.

Suddenly, Qin Hao stopped and reached out to stop Su Ting. "Wait, I feel something's not right." He gestured for the other to be quiet, then listened carefully to the sounds around them. "We might be being watched..."

Just as the two were preparing to proceed more cautiously, a shadow suddenly darted out from the bushes beside them, startling them so much that they gripped their weapons tightly.

Fortunately, she quickly recognized a familiar figure—Xiaoya—and said in a low voice.

"Things are going well in Alexander's area; the enemy's attention has shifted to them. But you need to speed things up; you don't have much time left."

Upon hearing the news, Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief but didn't forget to remind him, "Alright, thank you for creating this opportunity. Let's go into the cave now and try not to be discovered."

"Understood, be careful!" Xiaoya said, then turned and left quickly, leaving behind a firm and confident smile on her back.

Looking in the direction where his companion had disappeared, Su Ting patted Qin Hao's shoulder lightly, whispered a word of encouragement, and then took the lead, crossing the last open area and diving into the mine.

Upon entering the cave, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and a damp and chilly feeling greeted them. Both of them instinctively tightened their clothes to resist the cold.

It was clear that no one had been here for a long time; the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, and walking on it was almost silent.

As planned, in this complex and dimly lit environment, Su Ting activated his portable night vision goggles to begin exploring the path. Through the green light and shadow on the screen, he could vaguely discern some basic structural information.

Just as the two were moving slowly but methodically, a noise suddenly came from not far away...

Stop! Su Ting quickly raised his hand in a warning gesture, then gently pressed his ear against the wall to try to figure out what was causing the strange noise.

“It seems there are other people inside…” he whispered to his friend beside him. “We must pinpoint the target’s location as soon as possible and avoid potential threats.”

Just as the two fell into a brief silence, faint but clear footsteps sounded again from not far away. This time they were even closer!

Almost simultaneously, Qin Hao and Su Ting exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding something. Then, a secluded corner became their choice, and the two quietly lay in ambush, waiting for their opportunity.

"Hey, whatever, let's get this sorted out first," Qin Hao said in a low voice in the darkness, his tone resolute. "As long as we get through tonight, we can enjoy some peace and quiet tomorrow."

“That’s right,” Su Ting replied softly, “just hold on a little longer…” His voice was gradually drowned out by the approaching footsteps, as if it were a promise to the challenges to come and the bright future ahead.

Chapter 254 Courage and Decisiveness

The footsteps grew closer, and Qin Hao and Su Ting pressed themselves tightly against the corner of the wall, their breaths almost stopped. The dark mine was filled with unknown dangers, but this also ignited the courage and determination within them.

"They're here!" Qin Hao said softly, his voice filled with alertness and determination. He quickly pulled a smoke grenade from his pocket and whispered, "I'll distract them. You take the opportunity to advance."
