Dawn, the secret base.
It was time to evacuate. The agents from both sides packed up and prepared to leave.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, where is he?" Lin Yao knocked on the door of the cargo compartment. He had been knocking on the door for three minutes, and the agents from Division 13 were getting impatient.
"He doesn't seem to be in the car. Where did he go?" Li Ya Lin asked.
Everyone looked at each other.
Han Xiao had said that he would wait in the car, but now he was gone. Where did he go last night?
Qi Bai Jia asked Zhang Wei's team, "What are you going to do?"
"… We will stay and wait for him to come back," Zhang Wei said.
"Is that necessary?" Di Su Su asked.
"The car keys are with him!" Zhang Wei gritted his teeth. He felt that the veins on his forehead were about to turn into a dragon and fly away.
Everyone's face twitched. They did not know if they were lucky or unlucky to have such a team member.
Qi Bai Jia was unhappy. He hated all the uncertain factors in the mission. He thought that Han Xiao had a good grasp of the big picture, but now it seemed that he was blind. Team members who act without permission are all bastards!
If something goes wrong, I will be the scapegoat!
Scammer!
…
On the other hand, the agents from Hesla noticed the behavior of the agents from Division 13 and discussed in secret.
"Someone from their team wants to stay."
"Didn't we agree to work together?" Ye Fan frowned and went to ask Qi Bai Jia. After getting the answer, he returned to the Hesla agents and explained.
"Who is missing?"
"It's the logistician with the mask. His name is Han Xiao."
"Oh, it's him." Winna's face suddenly tensed up. She said, "When we received the information yesterday, Han Xiao denied us without any evidence. He disappeared at night and did not leave a message. He did not return the entire night. This is very suspicious. Could he be … a spy?"
The agents from Hesla were stunned.
"Be careful with your words." Ye Fan frowned. He did not believe this speculation, but Han Xiao's behavior was indeed suspicious. He said softly, "When we return to the base, we will report the situation to the commander."
…
The agents left, leaving only Zhang Wei and his team in the base.
"Where did Brother Xiao go?" Lin Yao could not help but ask.
Li Ya Lin rolled her eyes. "How would I know? He didn't say anything last night."
Zhang Wei shook his head, feeling tired.
That guy really doesn't have me in his eyes!
…
A few hours later, the agents from both sides returned to the border.
Winna and Ye Fan immediately reported to Carl.
"A Division 13 agent did not return for the entire night?" Carl paced back and forth, his brows furrowed. "Are you sure?"
Winna nodded. "He left without saying a word last night, right after we found out about the Dark Crow Valley base."
Ye Fan added, "Although it's suspicious, it doesn't mean he's a spy."
Carl nodded slowly. "I will verify this with Stardragon's people later. Let's talk about the intelligence first."
Winna said, "The captives we brought back have been put through a lie detector test. It can prove that everything they say is true. Ye Fan personally hacked into the enemy's network to gather this information. We can guarantee its authenticity!"
Carl's eyes were sharp as he said resolutely, "Then let's go to war immediately. Otherwise, the situation might change!"
Ye Fan hesitated for a moment before saying, "If the army is deployed, the Division 13 agents who are still in the secret base will be in danger."
Carl did not care at all. "For the sake of our strategic goals, what's the harm in sacrificing one or two Stardragon people? If they're not from our country, their intentions will definitely be different."
At the same time.
Han Xiao took a huge detour and finally brought the two captives back to the place where he buried the toolbox. The journey was extremely arduous, and he was so tired that he almost vomited blood. These two burdens did not have environmental concealment suits. He spent a few hours to bypass all the security zones. Fortunately, these two captives were technicians who were in charge of adjusting the detectors and mines. They provided him with a lot of information. Otherwise, he would not have been able to leave so quietly. The two captives tried to trick Han Xiao a few times along the way. They wanted to deliberately lure him into the security zone and expose him. However, they were seen through by Han Xiao and were severely punished. Only then did they give up and obey obediently.
At this time, the sun was hanging high in the sky. Han Xiao calculated the time and sighed. "Not good. It's past the estimated time. I think the others have already left."
He dug out the toolbox, took out a communication device, and contacted Zhang Wei.
"Hello, Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang. I'm Huang He. Please reply if you can hear me."
"Huang, your * ss!" Zhang Wei's exasperated voice immediately sounded in the earpiece. "Where did you go? I didn't see you for the whole night. The others have already left. We can only wait for you at the base!"
"That's right. You have to compensate me. I want new equipment!" Li Ya Lin squeezed into the channel. Just by listening to her tone, Zhang Wei could imagine her pouting face … Why does she look so cute?
Han Xiao shook his head and said, "I snuck into the Dark Crow Valley base and found a piece of confidential information!"
Zhang Wei's face turned serious. "I'll help you contact Staff Officer Qi."
…
At the border military camp, Qi Bai Jia received a call and asked, "Zhang Wei, what's wrong? Is Han Xiao back?"
"He wants to talk to you."
Qi Bai Jia said unhappily, "Then let him explain it to me."
Han Xiao entered the channel and said, "I've found a secret. The Dark Crow Valley base is divided into an inner and outer base. The outer base is where the peripheral members work, while the inner base is where the core members live. The outer base is hidden deep in the mountain. The peripheral members don't even know about the inner base. The inner base is kept secret from all peripheral members. The inner base can be closed and blocked at any time …"
He interrogated the two captives and found out that the Dark Crow Valley base was divided into two layers. There was a deeper secret base hidden deep in the mountain where important resources were stored. That was the real core area. The base leaders did not disclose the existence of the inner base to the peripheral members. Most of the people in the base were also kept a secret. Even the players in his previous life did not know about the existence of the inner base.
The inner base was connected to many evacuation routes. The core members could leave secretly. The locations of these routes were kept secret. Until the time of evacuation, no one knew which route the base leaders had chosen.
Qi Bai Jia immediately understood the value of this information. If Hesla did not know about the existence of the inner base, they would be fooled into thinking that they had won when the outer base was breached. Then, they would retreat. In reality, the enemy's core forces would be unharmed. The inner base would be preserved, and they could move back secretly in the future to make it a more secretive stronghold.
Qi Bai Jia was secretly shocked. He did not expect that Han Xiao's unauthorized action would yield such crucial information!
Ahem, although it was a good job, he still had to emphasize that unauthorized action was not a good thing to do …
"Wait for a while, I'll report to the commander immediately!"
Qi Bai Jia requested to see Carl, but he was stopped by the adjutant. He waited anxiously for five minutes before he was granted an audience. He walked into the office and found Ye Fan and Winna there.
Carl glanced at Qi Bai Jia and asked, "What's the matter?"
"One of my team members has obtained confidential information. He needs to report it to you."
"Han Xiao?"
"It's him."
Qi Bai Jia nodded. He did not notice that Winna, Carl, and Ye Fan were looking at him strangely.
Carl's eyes flickered. "Speak."
Hence, Han Xiao repeated what he said through the communicator and added, "If we attack recklessly, we will only be able to destroy an empty shell. I hope that we can delay the operation and let our people find out the enemy's evacuation time and route. We can also figure out the structure of the inner base. When the time comes, we can directly intercept the enemy's retreating troops and avoid attacking the enemy's fortifications head-on."
Carl was expressionless when he heard that. He suddenly asked, "Where did you get the information from?"
"I disguised myself and infiltrated the Dark Crow Valley base. I captured two of the insiders …"
Carl suddenly shouted, "You're lying!"
From Carl's point of view, it was impossible for Han Xiao to complete the infiltration even if he disguised himself. It would take at least ten minutes to make a realistic human skin mask. He did not know what kind of enemy he would encounter, so it was impossible for him to make the mask in advance. It was a paradox. It was like "Xiao Ming climbed up a tree and realized that it was too high from the ground, so he went home to get a ladder and climbed down the tree."
Han Xiao was stunned. He then realized that these people did not know about the ability of the Face Simulator.
The ability of the Face Simulator was his trump card. He would not reveal it, but that would not explain the details of his infiltration.
"This is my ability." Han Xiao could only give an ambiguous answer.
"Unless you show it, it won't be convincing."
Carl remained expressionless. He was secretly vigilant.
