Chapter 881 The Enemy's Trail
“I see,” Su Ting breathed a sigh of relief. “Please sit down. Thank you for your information.”
"You're welcome. We're on the same side now." The scout sat down and began to recount the information he knew.
"It is said that the enemy is active in this area, but they do not seem to have a clear objective," he said.
“Then we must proceed with caution.” Su Ting nodded.
“Indeed, but I also bring good news. I know a safe route to the south, where there are no signs of the enemy for the time being,” the scout said with a smile.
“That’s great! Could you explain it to us in detail?” Su Ting asked.
“Of course, come with me.” The scout stood up and led the group toward his hiding place.
The group followed the scout through a hidden path, listening to him describe the surrounding terrain and the enemy's defenses.
"This path is truly hidden; you are a master," Su Ting exclaimed.
"Hehe, this is the experience I've accumulated over the years," the scout replied with a smile.
"So what are your plans next?" Su Ting asked.
"I'd like to follow you for a while and see if I can provide further assistance," the scout said earnestly.
“You’re very welcome to join us.” Su Ting extended his hand. “We all need more partners like you.”
"Then it's a deal." The two shook hands, indicating that they had reached an agreement.
“Alright, let’s move on,” the scout said.
“Okay, let’s follow.” Rena nodded.
Just as they were preparing to continue their journey, several wolf howls came from afar, making the night even more tense.
"It sounds like the sound of a wild animal," Xiao Shi said with some concern.
“Don’t be afraid, we will protect you.” Leon patted his shoulder, his tone firm.
“Yes, we will be safe and sound,” Su Ting said firmly.
"Captain, there seems to be a river ahead. We need to cross it," the scout said, pointing ahead.
"Okay, let's get ready to cross the river." Su Ting led everyone towards the riverbank.
"Captain, do you think there might be danger in the river?" Xiao Shi asked.
“There might be, but we will handle it carefully,” Su Ting replied.
“Then let’s do it this way, let’s cross the river together,” Rena said.
They found a small boat on the riverbank, carefully boarded it, and rowed to the other side.
"Everyone be careful, this river is not safe," Su Ting warned.
“No problem, we’ll go together,” Castor replied.
They rowed with all their might, despite the swift current, but they eventually made it to the other side.
"We did it!" Xiao Shi said excitedly.
"This is just the beginning; we still have a lot to do." Su Ting looked ahead, his eyes filled with determination.
"Captain, what do we do next?" Rena asked.
“We will continue south in search of more clues,” Su Ting said firmly.
"Yes, Captain!" everyone responded in unison.
"We must find the truth and complete our mission," Su Ting said firmly.
“Captain, I believe we can do it,” Rena said with a smile.
“Yes, we must believe in ourselves,” Castor echoed.
"Let's go, time waits for no one." Su Ting led everyone to continue forward.
The group embarked on their journey once more, their hearts filled with renewed hope and determination. They knew the road ahead was still full of unknowns and challenges, but they also believed that as long as they were united, there were no difficulties they could not overcome.
Chapter 882 Unexpected Situation
The group followed the path indicated by the scout. As night deepened, the surrounding woods grew denser. The scout, named Kevin, seemed to know the forest inside and out.
“We’re almost out of the forest,” Kevin said, turning back to Su Ting. “There’s an open area ahead, but that’s also where the enemy patrols frequently.”
"Then we need to be even more careful." Su Ting nodded. "Everyone should remain vigilant and be ready to respond to any emergencies."
"Understood." Everyone in the team nodded and gripped their weapons tightly.
Finally, they passed through the last grove of trees, and before them lay a vast grassland. Under the moonlight, the grassland appeared exceptionally tranquil, but behind such peace often lurked unknown dangers.
"We need to cross this grassland quickly," Su Ting commanded in a low voice.
"Captain, look, there's movement over there." Rena suddenly pointed to a shadowy spot in the distance.
Everyone became alert, their eyes fixed on that direction. A moment later, several figures slowly emerged from the bushes, armed with weapons; they were clearly an enemy patrol.
"We've been discovered!" Leon growled.
"Don't panic, follow me!" Su Ting quickly led everyone to move towards a rocky bunker on the left.
Kevin whispered a reminder: "The terrain here is advantageous to us; we can take cover for a while."
"Okay, everyone hide first, and move out after the enemy passes." Su Ting gave the order in a low voice.
The enemy patrol stopped a short distance away, seemingly observing the surrounding activity. A few minutes later, they began to move in another direction and gradually disappeared from sight.
"Phew, thank goodness I wasn't discovered." Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
"We can't relax yet," Su Ting said seriously. "Keep moving forward and find a safe place as soon as possible."
"Captain, there seems to be a cave over there. Maybe we can take shelter there for a while." Jeff pointed to a cave entrance not far away.
“Good idea, let’s go there.” Su Ting immediately agreed.
The group quickly headed towards the cave and soon entered. The cave wasn't large, but it was big enough for all of them.
“It should be safe here,” Kevin said, looking around.
“But we can’t stay here for too long,” Su Ting said, frowning. “We need to get going as soon as possible and find that safe route to the south.”
"Captain, why don't you and Kevin discuss the next steps?" Rena suggested.
“Alright, everyone else can rest for a bit while we work out our next course of action.” Su Ting nodded.
The team members sat down to rest. Su Ting and Kevin, on the other hand, carefully studied the route on the map.
“This road is indeed quite hidden, but there are several places where ambushes might be hidden,” Kevin said, pointing to some marks on the map.
“We must avoid these places as much as possible,” Su Ting said, staring at the map.
At this moment, Xiao Shi's voice interrupted their discussion: "Captain, I think we should try to find some allies, so that our strength will be greater."
“You’re right,” Su Ting nodded. “It would certainly be more advantageous if we could find more help. But right now, we need to ensure our own safety first.”
"Captain, shouldn't we split up, one to scout the terrain and the other to gather intelligence?" Caster suggested.
Chapter 883 Return and reunite as soon as possible
“That’s a good idea, but we need to proceed with caution to avoid spreading our forces too thin and making things more dangerous,” Su Ting said after a moment’s thought.
"Then why don't we split into two groups, one responsible for reconnaissance and the other for advancing, while maintaining contact between us?" Kevin proposed a concrete plan.
“That works. Rena and I will take a group to conduct reconnaissance, and the rest of us will continue as planned,” Su Ting decided.
“No problem, we’ll be back to join you as soon as possible,” Rena said firmly.
After a brief discussion, the team set off again. Su Ting and Reina led a few team members to conduct reconnaissance, while Kevin led the rest of the group forward.
"Remember to stay in touch and report your location every now and then," Su Ting instructed.
“Understood, Captain,” Rena replied.
"Let's go." Su Ting led his group away quickly.
"Let's hurry up and move along." Kevin led the rest of the group forward.
Soon after, they entered a more rugged mountain path, where the surrounding trees became denser and the light became increasingly dim.
"Captain, this road is really difficult to walk on," Xiao Shi complained.
"There's no other way; this is the only way to avoid the enemy's line of sight," Kevin explained.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from ahead, followed by a figure rushing towards them.
"Kevin, quick, the enemy is here!" The man was Jeff from Su Ting's group.
"What? Enemies?" Kevin immediately became alert.
“Yes, they’ve spotted us! Run!” Jeff shouted.
"Quick, retreat this way!" Kevin led the group to retreat rapidly into the depths of the cave.
