Hunt for the Mastermind
“A simple strategy?” Red Fox looked at Zhou Mingrui with a suspicious look in her eyes.
“While figuring out how I escaped, why don’t you think about how to inform the outside world of the situation as soon as possible?” Zhou Mingrui said.
Red Fox smiled. “Don’t worry about this. I already contacted the captain and sent the video and other information to her when we came out.”
“We were the first discoverers of this incident, so we know the most about the situation and are the closest to it.”
!!
“So next, we need to wait for the captain to return to the command post and submit the information, and we might receive a new order.”
Her tone and attitude had already changed, for Zhou Mingrui’s courage and determination to stay behind to protect them earlier had already changed her opinion of this summoned spirit.
“We still have time now. If you’re willing to tell me, I’m all ears.”
Zhou Mingrui winked at Yan Wuyue, who then immediately understood what he meant. He learned his throat and said, “The news has been spread, so I’ll tell you.
Following that, Zhou Mingrui explained how he had brought out the flying monsters’ anger, bombarded land monsters, and how many casualties he had caused.
However, when it came to information regarding secret skills or specific location information, Zhou Mingrui glossed over them.
Red Fox looked at Zhou Mingrui with an interesting look, turned to Yan Wuyue, and said, ” “I’ve been on missions for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen what you’re doing.”
“You hid quite many details, but I won’t keep asking. At the same time, when you go back and do your mission report, remember to let Snow Leopard help you edit it. Otherwise, they’ll know you are hiding something.”
Zhou Mingrui chuckled. He knew that the excuse he came had just up with could not trick Red Fox, for anyone qualified for the special forces wasn’t a fool.
“Thank you,” Yan Wuyue said.
Red Fox nodded and said, “Alright, let’s all take a rest. No one knows what we will face next, so we need to be fully prepared.”
With that, Red Fox closed her eyes and had to rest without looking at Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui.
Yan Wuyue understood and was willing to listen to her. As an experienced warrior, she knew that Red Fox’s choice was the best.
Without saying much, Yan Wuyue also closed her eyes and rested.
At the same time, threads of light formed by the light bands controlled by the figure of light appeared in many of the monster nests to invade and control their brains.
At the same time, in Southeast Military District headquarters, the intelligence that had been handed in through the front line was now on the table of the highest-ranking officer.
After seeing this information, the highest-ranking officer in the headquarters, Lieutenant General Yu, had a huge change in expression.
The previous beast tide had already caused him a lot of trouble. He hadn’t managed to predict the beat tide attack in advance, so he had been scolded by the central headquarters’ officers for making a serious mistake in his intelligence report.
The news he had just received was adding insult to injury.
“Sir, what should we do now?” The chief of staff asked.
“Did you just throw a question at me? Shouldn’t you be the one thinking of a solution for me?”
Lieutenant General Yu was furious. “All the elite soldiers in the country are about to be assembled. By then, the Southeast Military District will become the headquarters of the country’s army. If I can’t do anything now, you and I can’t keep our jobs! Do you know that?”
“This is the mistake of the staff officer and the intelligence department! We are willing to accept any punishment!” The chief of staff immediately stood up.
Lieutenant General Yu waved his hand. “Forget it. What’s the point of punishing you now? Our priority is to analyze this beast tide and deal with it!”
“The information is very clear now. There is a mastermind behind this best tide, but we can’t determine his location at the moment. We know nothing about the target.” the chief of staff said.
“Any soldier knows what you just said. Give me a solution right now!” Lieutenant General Yu said angrily.
“General, we should immediately send our elite special forces to determine the location of the mastermind behind the beast tide. According to our intelligence, there is a high chance that the beast tide will stop if we can kill the person.”
The chief of staff paused and continued, “Now, almost half of our defense line has collapsed, and the beast tide is still expanding. We need to control this situation as soon as possible.
Lieutenant General Yu frowned. He knew that this was the best solution, so he nodded and said, “Send all the special forces in our military district to find the mastermind behind this and kill him!
“Chen, the faster we find that person, the fewer brothers we will sacrifice!
The chief of staff took a deep breath and immediately answered, “I understand. I’ll do it immediately!”
After the conversation, everyone in the headquarter started to be as busy as a bee, and all kinds of orders were issued.
Soon, the special forces in the base started to move, which included Spector Special Forces and several other ones.
After boarding the helicopter, they immediately set off for the southern line of defense, where Zhou Mingrui and the others were.
At this moment, after Zhou Mingrui, Yan Wuyue, and the rest had waited for about half an hour, Red Fox’s watch began to vibrate.
“Captain!”
After Red Fox pressed the answer button, Polar Bear’s voice immediately came from the other end. “Red Fox, get ready immediately. I will send you a set of coordinates. Next, Spector Special Forces, Hell Special Forces, and ten other teams will head to your area to search.”
“Our current goal is to find the person who is causing trouble behind the scenes according to your intelligence!
“Remember, don’t rush into action after you’ve confirmed the target. Report first!”
“Yes, captain!” Red Fox immediately replied.
After ending the communication, Red Fox looked at Yan Wuyue and said, “You heard that? Our current mission is to find that guy.
At this moment, Yan Wuyue was thinking about how to let everyone know how powerful the mysterious figure of light was. Otherwise, they would be digging their own graves.
[ You’re also thinking about how to tell her how terrifying that mysterious figure of light is? ]
At that moment, Zhou Mingrui’s voice transmission came.
It was also the first time Yan Wuyue was this helpless, [We can’t tell them that we’ve been to the secret alternate space, and they won’t believe us even if we tell them anyway. ]
Zhou Mingrui replied directly, [But I don’t think there’s a need to say it. ]
[ Why? If we don’t say it, it will cause a lot of casualties if we are discovered. ] Yan Wuyue asked.
[ We’ll look for the target with them now, and we will find a way till then.] Zhou Mingrui answered.
