“If we just return to the base like this, the downfall of the base is inevitable once the Tibetan military region becomes stronger. Unless they are willing to submit to the military region and obey their arrangements in everything.”
However, not only Xiao Wen, but even Wen Le would never be willing to become a pawn controlled by others.
After thinking about it, it’s better to take a gamble. If they can grab it, they win. If they can’t, they will be doomed sooner or later!
Xiao Wen and Wen Le gathered everyone together and told them the evaluation of Yan Wei Guo on the military region and the future situation of the base. This operation relies entirely on volunteers. Those who are willing to take the risk can follow Xiao Wen, and those who are not willing can stay here. If they cannot return within the planned time, they should return to the base on their own and tell Han Ya the situation so that the base can be prepared.
Xiao Wen’s words left no one willing to be a coward. The people who originally belonged to the army had been ordered by Yan Wei Guo before leaving the base that they would follow Xiao Wen’s arrangements for everything, so they naturally followed Xiao Wen’s footsteps. The group of ability users who initially established the base with Xiao Wen had already made up their minds to follow Xiao Wen all the way, regardless of life or death.
However, what Xiao Wen and Wen Le did not expect was that the response of the ability users among the Tibetan indigenous people was even greater than the two groups they thought would roughly follow them.
“You guys,” Wen Le was a little puzzled by the reaction of the Tibetans.
Nian Gongga also came along this time, and explained with a bitter expression in the face of Xiao Wen and Wen Le’s doubts.
“We have never forgotten the actions of that person in the Tibetan area, even if we die. In our tribe alone, many innocent people died. The old chief had actually retired, and his son took over as the chief, but he was also killed on a false charge at that time. Helplessly, the old chief had to take over the tribe again. Boss Xiao, and Xiao Wen, don’t doubt it, I dare say that every tribe had people wrongly killed back then!”
As Nian Gongga spoke, the other Tibetan superhumans gritted their teeth and nodded.
The two of them didn’t expect there was still such a thing involved, and couldn’t help but feel sad.
If they hadn’t asked, these people probably would have kept silent, but not speaking didn’t mean they forgot. This kind of hatred might not dissipate even until death.
They never spoke because they couldn’t defeat that person, but once they had the power to resist, Wenle believed they would unite to overthrow the entire military district for their loved ones who died in vain and their own anger.
“Since that’s the case, let’s leave together. Live or die, let’s leave it up to fate!” Xiao Wen looked at each and every person who didn’t back down and slowly spoke.
“Yes!” The loud voice echoed throughout the mountains and wilderness.
Although they said it was up to fate, Xiao Wen still planned to carefully come up with the most feasible plan. After a night of study, Xiao Wen and Wen Le finally settled on a relatively higher chance of success plan.
Xiao Wen asked Han Yi Feng and nine others to stay in the village. If the operation was successful, they would return directly to the village.
Because they didn’t know if the military district had communication equipment, it was easy to be ambushed once they hit the highway.
Xiao Wen set the deadline for five days. If they didn’t return in five days, Han Yi Feng would lead the others back to the base and tell Han Ya everything, so he could be prepared.
At first, Han Yi Feng refused to stay behind, but he was eventually persuaded by Wen Le to remain in Bai Yun. He looked dejected and resigned to staying.
The rest of the group left with Xiao Wen, leaving several cars behind along the way as backup in case of success. The caravan set off towards the mountain range where the arms factory was located.
Wen Le distributed all the firearms and ammunition in the space, knowing that in the event of a real conflict, there would be no time to replenish the ammunition.
That afternoon, the caravan arrived at the foot of the mountain. Mo Yan and Wen Le carefully observed with binoculars but did not see any soldiers stationed around the perimeter.
To avoid detection by the military, Xiao Wen led the group into the mountains on foot rather than taking the winding mountain road. They abandoned their vehicles and Wen Le collected them all in the space since they couldn’t guarantee that they would use the same route on their retreat.
Over 700 people marched quietly into the forest. Only the faint sound of footsteps could be heard, and they moved stealthily through the woods.
As night fell, they refrained from using any illumination devices as even the slightest light could easily give them away. Wen Le led the way, observing their surroundings with her psychic abilities. The others followed behind her, holding onto each other in a line.
For the entire night, they crossed over a large mountain. When the day broke, Wen Le was standing halfway up the second mountain, according to the directions given by Yan Wei Guo. From the mountaintop, they would be able to see a lake, and their destination was on the west side of the lake.
“Rest here. Mo Yan, distribute the food and water. We’ll go and take a look first. Don’t throw away any leftover garbage randomly. Collect it and I’ll throw it into the space when I come back,” whispered Wen Le to Mo Yan behind his. Mo Yan nodded.
Wen Le carefully found a relatively flat place and took out compressed biscuits and water from the space without waiting for Mo Yan to distribute them. He then climbed onto Xiao Wen’s back.
With the cover of the trees, the two quickly arrived at the mountaintop. They found a relatively hidden tree branch and sat on it, carefully observing the situation below.
Although most of the area below was still covered by trees, a small lake could be seen at a glance. There were many people in military uniforms fetching water by the lake.
Looking to the west of the lake, even with the trees blocking the view, there were still vague shadows of people moving around.
However, there was no trace of the military factory that Yan Wei Guo had mentioned. It was unlikely that such an important facility would be easily visible.
But there was no need to spend time searching. About eighty percent of the people were concentrated in the area where the activity was most intense, which was likely to be the location of the military factory.
After roughly noting the situation, Xiao Wen gestured to Wen Le to go down.
The two quietly descended the mountain again and, after entering the forest at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Wen slowed down while Wen Le tightened his nerves, carefully filtering all the movements within her spiritual range.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise ahead, which startled both Xiao Wen and Wen Le. Wen Le almost immediately took Xiao Wen into the space, but fortunately they realized that no one was approaching them.
Wen Le pointed to the location of the sound, and Xiao Wen nodded silently, carrying Wen Le on his back as they walked towards the source of the noise.
It took them about two hours to get there, and they had to enter the space three times to avoid people suddenly approaching them. Each time they stayed in the space for more than twenty minutes before coming out.
As soon as they emerged, Wen Le expanded his mental power to its maximum range, ready to return to the space at any moment. Luckily, they were not discovered by anyone along the way and finally reached the foot of another mountain after dawdling for some time.
Here, there were more and more soldiers dressed as military officers, and there was almost no way for them to continue forward. Xiao Wen carefully surveyed the surroundings while Wen Le focused all his mental power on the area with the most soldiers.
At the moment when Wen Le’s mental power reached its farthest range, he was delighted to find the entrance to the arsenal. Don’t ask him how he could be sure it was the entrance. First, there was a heavily concealed and sturdy iron gate at an angle to the mountain slope, and secondly, there were heavy guards around it. Wen Le immediately confirmed that this was the place they were looking for.
However, Wen Le’s mental power could only detect the gate, and if they wanted to explore what was inside, they would have to get closer, which was currently impossible for them.
Wen Le hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the left to Xiao Wen.
Most of the soldiers were concentrated near the gate, and there were hardly any people on the left mountain wall. Wen Le asked Xiao Wen to follow him along the mountain wall.
A weapon factory could not be too small, although they couldn’t get close to it at the gate, they could learn about the inside of the mountain from other places.
Wen Le didn’t know how the factory was built, but he could sense the sudden appearance of space inside the mountain when they went around to the back of the mountain where the factory was located, using his psychic powers.
Wen Le complained through gritted teeth to Xiao Wen, “This is the thinnest part of the mountain wall, about 70 meters thick.”
Xiao Wen smiled, “Seventy meters is not bad. If it were thinner, I would suspect that the mountain was made of metal!”
Wen Le also thought about it. If it were too thin, it would easily collapse under the weight of the soil above.
“Let’s go back first and keep a good watch out,” Xiao Wen reminded Wen Le, who was lying on his shoulder.
Because they were far from the heavily guarded area, they did not encounter anyone who came out to investigate on their way back.
They returned smoothly to where Mo Yan and the others were, and Wen Le took out paper and marked down what he had observed.
Xiao Wen found several superhumans who held certain positions in the army and asked them to participate in the plan-making.
If the soldiers themselves do not want to go to war with other military districts under the same headquarters, then it can only be said that the Tibet Military District is an exception. Whether it is the leaders above or the soldiers who shoot at ordinary people under orders from their superiors, they have already been mentally divided into another area that is not part of their own military system.
Several officers surrounded Xiao Wen and Wen Le, looking at the rough hand-drawn map on the paper, and began to calculate.
After studying for most of the day, they ultimately divided into two plans. The first plan was to start from the relatively weak mountain wall behind the mountain detected by Wen Le, and let earth-element ability users dig through the mountain wall together. Meanwhile, most other people would attract the attention of the defenders from the front, creating chaos and making it easier for those entering the factory to move around.
The second plan was to engage in direct combat on the front lines. After the fighting began, the gate of the factory would likely open to support the defending soldiers with weapons. Then, Xiao Wen would take advantage of the opportunity to rush into the interior of the factory with Wen Le.
After assigning personnel, they would execute the first plan first at night. If they could enter the factory through the first plan, they would notify the people in front and begin to disturb the defender’s vision. If they failed to get in, they would circle back and execute the second plan.
After preparing everything, everyone sat quietly in place, waiting for the night to come.
Thanks for the chapter!
So anxious for everything to go well 😫
