Su Ting immediately pressed the intercom: "Yes, Commander Zhao, we are safe. We now need further support and medical teams to treat the wounded as soon as possible."

"Received. We will dispatch a medical team immediately. Meanwhile, you should evacuate this area as soon as possible and proceed to the designated safe assembly point."

Su Ting nodded, though Zhao Gang couldn't see his movement. "Okay, we'll evacuate as soon as possible. Thank you for your support."

Putting away the walkie-talkie, Su Ting turned to his team members.

"Everyone get ready, we need to get out of this dangerous area as soon as possible. Commander Zhao will send a medical team to take care of the wounded. Let's find a safe place to wait."

Everyone readily agreed and quickly prepared to set off. The group moved stealthily through the night, avoiding any traps the enemy might have set.

On the way, they tried to remain quiet to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

After a difficult trek, Su Ting finally found a relatively hidden cave.

The terrain here was complex, making it difficult for the enemy to spot them. They quickly entered the cave, quickly inventoried their supplies, and began to stand guard.

Su Ting instructed Xiao Zhang and several other team members to keep watch on the perimeter, while he and Li Ming took a short rest inside the cave.

They used the limited supplies to provide initial first aid to the wounded and waited for the medical team to arrive.

Soon, the sound of vehicles could be heard in the distance. Su Ting's heart tightened, and he quickly stood up: "The medical team has arrived. Get ready to welcome them."

The group quickly emerged from the cave and saw several military vehicles slowly approaching. Medical personnel in white coats and several soldiers alighted from the vehicles.

A doctor stepped forward and said to Su Ting, "I am Dr. Chen. We heard that someone on your team was injured, so we came to help."

Su Ting nodded and led Dr. Chen into the cave, explaining the situation of the wounded. The medical staff quickly began examining the injuries and providing treatment.

“These comrades are all outstanding,” Dr. Chen exclaimed while working. “Your bravery earns my respect.”

Su Ting smiled slightly, feeling a sense of relief. He looked at the medical staff working and said softly, "We just did what we were supposed to do. I hope this battle will end soon."

Li Ming added from the side, "Yes, everyone is working very hard, but as long as we have faith, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties."

Dr. Chen looked up at Su Ting: "Don't worry, we will do our best to help them recover. You all need to rest well too, we will need you for the next battle."

"Thank you, Dr. Chen," Su Ting said sincerely.

With the arrival of the medical team, the atmosphere inside the cave gradually eased. After receiving initial treatment, the team members began to take turns resting. Su Ting, however, remained highly vigilant, standing at the cave entrance, watching every move outside.

A night breeze swept by, bringing a refreshing coolness. Su Ting couldn't help but recall every detail of the previous battle; those tense and exciting moments seemed to still be right before his eyes.

"Captain, you should take a rest too." Li Ming walked over and handed Su Ting a bottle of water.

Su Ting took the water, took a sip, and then handed the bottle back to him: "You rest first, I'll keep watch for a while longer."

Li Ming shook his head: "You're human too, you need rest. How about this, we'll keep watch together for a while, and then switch shifts when the others wake up."

Chapter 441 New Defensive Measures

Su Ting looked at Li Ming's determined eyes and nodded: "Alright, let's keep watch together for a while."

The two stood side by side at the entrance of the cave, where the chirping of insects and the occasional rustling of grass could be heard in the distance in the night.

Su Ting felt a sense of calm. Although the danger had not been completely eliminated, he knew that as long as they stood together, nothing was insurmountable.

"Captain, what do you think will happen next?" Li Ming asked in a low voice, his voice tinged with curiosity.

Su Ting was silent for a moment, then replied softly, "I don't know, but we must be prepared. Whatever new plans the enemy has, we must do everything in our power to deal with them."

At that moment, a soldier came over and reported.

"Captain, Dr. Chen said the wounded are in stable condition and most can rest now. But there are still a few seriously wounded who need to be observed for a while longer."

Su Ting nodded and gestured to him, "You've worked hard. Take turns resting, don't exhaust yourselves."

The soldier responded and turned to leave.

"It seems we're safe for now," Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "But I'm still a little worried about the enemy's next move."

Su Ting smiled slightly, gazing into the distance: "Indeed, the enemy will not give up so easily. But no matter what, we will not back down."

Their conversation caught the attention of Xiao Zhang, who was on guard nearby. Xiao Zhang walked over and interjected, "Captain, I've noticed something's wrong outside."

Su Ting frowned and looked at Xiao Zhang: "What's going on? Did you find something?"

Xiao Zhang pointed to one side of the cave entrance.

"I just noticed some movement over there, like someone was quietly approaching. Although I didn't see anyone, the feeling was very strong."

Su Ting and Li Ming exchanged a glance, and then the three of them walked in that direction together, cautiously investigating.

They found some footprints and slightly broken branches in a thicket. "It seems there really were unidentified people approaching," Li Ming said in a low voice.

Su Ting calmly ordered: "Inform everyone to be on high alert and strengthen vigilance. We must remain hidden and prepare for a counterattack."

Back inside the cave, Su Ting gathered everyone together and quickly set up new defensive measures. Everyone prepared nervously, awaiting any potential danger.

Just then, the communicator rang again. This time it was Zhao Gang's voice.

"Captain Su, how are you doing? We need to confirm your location further for subsequent support operations."

Su Ting picked up the walkie-talkie to reply.

"Commander Zhao, we are currently in a secluded cave and have not yet detected any obvious threats. However, there are indications that someone may be quietly approaching us."

Zhao Gang's voice became serious: "Understood. We will send a reconnaissance team to support you. At the same time, keep communication open and report the situation at any time."

After hanging up the call, Su Ting turned to his team members: "Commander Zhao will send more people to support us. During this time, everyone must stay alert and not let their guard down in any way."

Everyone nodded in agreement, their morale seemingly boosted even further.

Suddenly, a guard rushed over, panting, and reported, "Captain, there's movement over there!"

Su Ting immediately realized what was happening and shouted, "Everyone, proceed according to plan! Conceal yourselves and prepare for battle!"

The team members quickly dispersed to their designated positions, and Su Ting led a few key personnel to sneak over.

As they approached their target location, they saw a group of unidentified individuals wearing night vision equipment lurking in the shadows.

Su Ting made a gesture, indicating that everyone should not move.

He quietly drew his pistol and carefully aimed at one of the targets. At the same time, the other team members also prepared their weapons and stood ready.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, a voice suddenly came from the darkness: "Su Ting, is that you? It's me, Lao Lin."

Upon hearing this, Su Ting immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Old Lin? It's you? How did you find this place?"

Old Lin and his team slowly emerged from the shadows, explaining, "We received orders from Commander Zhao to come as reinforcements. We didn't expect you to find such a well-hidden place."

Chapter 442 Facing Greater Danger

Su Ting put down his gun and greeted him with a smile: "Old Lin, I really didn't expect you to personally lead the team here. Your arrival is just in time."

Old Lin patted Su Ting on the shoulder and laughed, "The brothers are all here, so of course we had to come and help. We heard your situation was quite urgent, so we rushed over."

Li Ming also stepped forward to greet them: "Old Lin, you've come at the perfect time! We just spotted some unidentified people approaching and were preparing to deal with them."

Old Lin nodded, then turned his gaze to the surrounding environment.

"It seems our operation is quite covert, otherwise you wouldn't be so nervous. But this is indeed a good hiding place."

"Hmm, this place is fairly well hidden; it hasn't been discovered yet."

Su Ting explained, "But we now need to strengthen our vigilance to prevent the enemy from infiltrating further."

Old Lin nodded and then ordered his team members to disperse to various corners to set up defenses.

"Divide into several groups, each responsible for a direction. Make sure no one can approach here silently."

The team members sprang into action, quickly occupying key positions and forming a tight defensive network.

Su Ting and Lao Lin returned to the cave to continue discussing their next course of action. At that moment, Commander Zhao sent another message via communicator.

"Captain Su, has Lao Lin arrived yet? How is the situation?"

Su Ting picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, "Yes, Lao Lin and his team have arrived. We are now making new deployments to ensure no area is missed."

Zhao Gang's voice relaxed slightly: "That's good. Keep in touch, and report any new developments immediately. We will organize reinforcements as soon as possible."

After hanging up the call, Su Ting turned to Lao Lin and said, "We really owe you a lot this time, otherwise we might have faced even greater danger."

Old Lin waved his hand and said easily, "We're all brothers, what's a little thing like this? As long as we're united, we can handle even the most difficult situation."

At this moment, Dr. Chen came over and reported the condition of the wounded to the two of them.

"Captain Su, Captain Lin, the wounded are in stable condition and most are resting. A few seriously wounded soldiers still need close monitoring."

Su Ting nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Chen. Please take good care of every wounded soldier and help them recover their fighting strength as soon as possible."

After Dr. Chen nodded in agreement, he left.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed in to report: "Captain, there's movement outside! It seems someone is approaching."

Su Ting immediately stood up, exchanged a glance with Old Lin, and said in a low voice, "Let's go check it out."

The two men led several team members out of the cave quickly and headed in the direction mentioned in the report. They carefully traversed the dense forest and finally stopped behind a large tree, quietly observing the situation ahead.

Sure enough, a group of unidentified individuals were slowly approaching, wearing night vision gear and carrying guns; they appeared to be well-trained.

Old Lin whispered to Su Ting, "These people are not simple; we must proceed with caution."

Su Ting frowned, then nodded slightly in agreement. "Don't alarm them yet; let's see what their intentions are first."
