"Hmph."
Si Nian looked at him as if he were an idiot who thought he could fly with two cents.
He turned and took a set of bomb disposal suits from Zhao Wen and put one on.
The bomb disposal suits sent by Zhao Wen's subordinates later were cumbersome, which was why he initially wanted to get one from Zhao Hengyu.
Cumbersome bomb disposal suits were not conducive to movement. Although he didn't know what material Qin Ningyi's clothes were made of, based on his understanding of Qin Ningyi, he had asked Zhao Hengyu for clothes.
He didn't know why Qin Ningyi would associate with such an idiot for so many years.
"We've already notified the bomb disposal team, perhaps we should wait for them..."
"The bomb disposal team you trained?" The sarcasm in Si Nian's eyes was almost uncontrollable, causing Zhao Wen's dark face to blush slightly.
Alright, no matter how they trained, could they be more formidable than the people from Fenghuo? Could they be more formidable than Si Nian and Qin Ningyi? He decided it was best to remain silent.
"Get someone to provide cover and stall for time," Si Nian instructed Zhao Wen, and then set off with Qin Ningyi.
Huo Rou wanted to follow from a distance, unable to rest easy.
"You wait here for backup," Qin Ningyi said, then turned back to the corner and disappeared into the darkness.
Huo Rou, of course, would not stay put obediently.
Zhao Wen, as Director Zhao, needed to be here to hold the fort. She tidied up her clothes, trying to appear as neat and efficient as possible.
To avoid any unexpected issues, she took a painkiller beforehand.
After preparing herself, she took a weapon and led a team of people to circle around from another direction.
"Captain Huo." The people following her didn't know how to address her, so they simply called her Captain Huo like Zhao Wen. "Why are we providing cover from the side instead of the front?"
Huo Rou gestured for them to form ranks. After completing the movement, she remembered that these were not the same people who had followed her for years.
A hint of bitterness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mindset and turned to the confused small team. "Split into two groups. Five of you who are agile, follow behind me. The other team will lay an ambush here and approach slowly."
They had received orders before setting out: everything was to be according to Huo Rou's instructions. As soldiers, they didn't question and automatically separated. Five people stood behind Huo Rou.
Huo Rou led them quickly to the dilapidated wall on the side of the factory.
They arrived smoothly, undetected by the people above.
However, they were all filled with questions.
"Didn't Commander Si go to deal with the explosives? And we're here to provide cover? Isn't the standard procedure for providing cover to attract attention?"
The wall here was dilapidated and was already a重点 inspection area for the enemy. Yet, under Huo Rou's guidance, they reached the enemy's doorstep without so much as a shadow of their presence.
Was this providing cover or directly attacking the enemy's stronghold?
Their eyes were full of doubt, but since they had arrived, they couldn't speak. They could only look at Huo Rou with confused eyes, awaiting instructions.
Huo Rou could naturally understand the doubt in their eyes. Zhao Wen hadn't had time to inform them.
In her view, there was no such thing as cover; there was only offense.
All cover ultimately served the purpose of offense.
She had calculated that this side was the furthest from where Jarls was being held, and the wall in between was the thickest. By entering from here, she could neutralize some of the enemy's strength, and while attracting fire, she could also create favorable conditions for Qin Ningyi and the others.
As for whether they could communicate with each other.
Huo Rou glanced at the location of her clothes and bag. She had asked Xiao Yuda's team to install a new signal jammer on her phone, and it was just the right time to use it.
Since they were going to act, why come back empty-handed?
She led the five people to wait quietly around the hole, with two people guarding each of the two exits.
They didn't wait long before there was movement from inside.
"Are you sure you saw someone ambushing over there?"
A gruff voice shouted.
Another voice, slightly anxious, replied, "Yes, I saw them, several people. I don't know if they are reconnaissance personnel, and they are heading this way!"
After speaking, he quickly added, "Should we throw a couple of grenades to blow them up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a "thump—" was heard, followed by a man's groan.
