Chapter 2809: Chapter 2809: Outfoxing the Schemer
The team members nodded, and Yu Siying said:
"So, it seems that people from Special Service Team Three aren’t the main point here. We should guard against Storm and Gongyuan Association."
"But the problem is, even if we join forces with the Flame Dragon people, we’re still probably no match for them," Sui Qiang said.
"So, let’s see what these people actually do," Lin Yi said:
"If they really plan to make a move, we’ll ambush them again and wear them down slowly."
"Understood."
...
Safe zone, Special Service Team Three’s camp.
"What on earth are you doing? Didn’t I tell you to wait for us before taking action!"
Hassad said in a hysterical voice.
The members of Special Service Team Three hung their heads one by one.
Another defeat made them feel humiliated.
"We thought that teaming up with Team 707 would be enough to handle them, but we didn’t expect him to be that strong," Gret said dejectedly.
"Nonsense, if he weren’t strong, I wouldn’t have needed to make a plan!"
"But we didn’t lose because of strength," Gret said:
"He has a very powerful piece of equipment. Our protective suits are completely ineffective."
"A very powerful piece of equipment?"
Hassad and Teplon both looked surprised, and the latter said:
"Impossible, in equipment manufacturing, our technology is world-leading. Even our tactical knives wouldn’t have such an effect."
"It’s not a tactical knife he used..."
Gret paused, "It seems like he used a scalpel."
With that, Gret took out his protective suit, "Take a look at this, and you’ll understand."
After examining Gret’s protective suit for a while, they couldn’t help but darken their expressions.
The cuts indicated they were made with sharp instruments.
But in their view, even the sharpest weapon in the world couldn’t easily cause such damage.
"What on earth is going on with that guy? Why does he have such a sharp weapon!"
Teplon really couldn’t figure it out; in his mind, it was impossible.
"Could it be that they’ve mastered advanced metallurgy technology on the island, thus making that scalpel?" Hassad voiced his thoughts.
"Highly unlikely," Teplon said:
"If that were true, similar equipment would have already spread to others. The Flame Dragon Team’s priority would exceed theirs; it wouldn’t just be him who was equipped with it."
After pondering for a few seconds, Hassad said:
"Could it have been given to him by Joker?"
"That’s the only possibility left," Teplon said:
"But now, discussing this is pointless. We should deal with them quickly, incapacitate him, so he won’t dare create trouble again in the future."
"We’ve been marked by the Flame Dragon, so finding the right opportunity to act won’t be easy," Hassad said:
"We’ll have to find a chance to provoke a confrontation, create a time gap, and strike at the contentious area before the Flame Dragon Team arrives."
"That’s the only way," Teplon thought for a moment and said.
"Let’s go with this plan," Hassad said, "You guys take a few days off, then act on my instructions."
"Okay."
...
For the next few days, the team members were active in the contentious area.
Even if they occasionally spotted people from Special Service Team Three, the two sides faced off from afar without any intention of fighting, and even seemed to have plans to retreat.
While this was a good thing, it also made Lin Yi suspicious.
Judging from their own interests, letting Special Service Team Three ignore the situation entirely was unreasonable.
It would be tantamount to handing over benefits for no reason, something not even their leaders would agree to.
Based on these reasons, Lin Yi devised a more comprehensive plan.
To ensure they could lead the team to safely withdraw regardless of what happened.
This situation lasted for over half a month before any changes occurred.
The members of Special Service Team Three resumed their usual activities.
A stark contrast to their previous attitude.
"Boss, something seems off with the Special Service Team Three," Yu Siying said. "Their recent behavior is too abnormal."
"I’ve noticed too, and I doubt they’re up to anything good."
With that, Lin Yi took out his communicator and dialed Jiang Zhengnan’s number.
"Brother Nan, how are things on your side?"
"Since yesterday, they’ve halted their actions, staying camped out in the woods without any further intent to act."
"No intent to act..."
Lin Yi muttered, "I see."
After ending the call, Yu Siying said:
"Boss, Special Service Team Three also started provoking us since yesterday."
"Looking at it this way, it doesn’t seem coincidental at all. It seems like it was planned."
"Then let’s take this opportunity to strike them again," Lin Yi said:
"We should have a lot of equipment from other forces, right?"
"Yes, the brigade has prepared it."
"Bring all the clothes, and change into them once we’re in the tunnel," Lin Yi said:
"Siying, you three go get the clothes, the rest of you go out and show yourselves, let them know we’re still in the camp."
"Understood."
Following Lin Yi’s instructions, the team took action.
Lin Yi shared his opportunity with Jiang Zhengnan.
This plan needed their cooperation to execute.
About half an hour later, the team was ready and headed towards Kandaya Forest.
Their actions were observed by many, who quietly reported to Hassad and Teplon.
After arriving at Kandaya Forest, the team began a high-speed pursuit.
Upon reaching the designated location, they successfully linked up with the Flame Dragon members.
The entrance to the secret passage had been dug open before they arrived.
"Team Leader Lin, the exit is also set. Just notify us ten minutes before opening," the Flame Dragon members said.
"Thanks, Brother Xu, we’re heading down now."
"Go ahead, and stay safe."
With a wave from Lin Yi, they all jumped into the secret passage.
Once below, the team started changing their disguises.
They turned their army green camo into dark green.
Although the color difference was subtle, for people on the island, it was easy to identify that these belonged to other forces.
Lin Yi’s goal was precisely that; as long as suspicion wasn’t directed at them, they didn’t care about anything else.
After equipping themselves and setting up disguises, the team quickly moved towards the exit.
The ten-kilometer journey took about half an hour to complete.
With such speed, they could easily win any professional race.
Upon reaching the exit, the Flame Dragon had already opened up the tunnel, saving Lin Yi substantial time.
Subsequently, Lin Yi dialed Jiang Zhengnan’s number:
"Brother Nan, we’re ready on this end, you can take action now."
