Ti is of the essence; once Lin Yi gave the order, no one wasted any words.
Ning Che quickly climbed up and instructed Ma Tongliang and Zhao Xile to follow Lin Yi’s command the whole way and not put Team Three to sha.
After Ning Che climbed up, it wasn’t long before Team One mbers started coming down one after another.
Simultaneously, the ropes above were removed, bringing everything back to its original state.
Team One stopped investigating, hid at the edge of a corner, and Lin Yi received Ning Che’s intel, learning about their situation over there.
Shortly after descending, they encountered the opposition, thereby gathering so information.
The opponent comprised eleven people, all in uniform.
There was no direct confrontation, but their movents suggested their skills were certainly not weak.
Ning Che also disclosed so information that misled the opposition into believing nothing was found, thus avoiding a possible confrontation.
Most crucial was gathering intel about the leader.
He’s a bald, muscular Black man, approximately 1.9 ters tall.
Ning Che transmitted all the information to Lin Yi.
Giving Lin Yi a rough understanding of this team.
"Boss, unless there’s an accident, they should be able to find us here. Shall we assassinate them or capture them?" Sui Qiang asked.
"Just follow my orders. It’s too soon to make a decision right now."
"Understood."
Lin Yi was also contemplating the subsequent plan.
They are in the open while we’re hidden, giving us an absolute advantage.
If we use a surprise attack and it’s not a team like Poker, we can wipe them out effortlessly.
However, there’s an unspoken rule on the island: unless absolutely necessary, avoid annihilation.
If we do so, it would make enemies for the Central Guards Brigade, and once this is known, no future missions would be possible on the island.
Otherwise, we’d spend all our ti fighting and killing, losing the original purpose.
But capturing them poses the risk of injuries if they fiercely resist.
Thus, the course of action must be opportunistic.
Lin Yi waits cautiously and prudently, with night vision capabilities ensuring he isn’t blind in such conditions.
Once they co down, he can imdiately detect them; capturing the leader will minimize casualties.
"Team One, report your numbers."
Sui Qiang: 1.
Yu Siying: 2.
Shao Jianfeng: 3.
Zhang Chaoyue: 4.
...
Xiao Bing: 7.
Upon finishing the count, Lin Yi continues, "Tong Liang is number 8, Xile is number 9. Rember your numbers."
No one spoke, waiting for Lin Yi to continue.
"When they co down later, control one person per number in sequence without disorder; their leader is a Black man approximately 1.9 ters tall. If you encounter him, leave him to ."
"Understood!"
About twenty minutes later, sounds erged from above, and everyone held their breaths, even suppressing their heartbeats.
Soon, footsteps and voices were heard overhead, discussing how to descend.
They chose a thod similar to the Central Guards Brigade, using a rope extending all the way down.
Before long, soone ca down while grumbling and complaining about the small entrance.
Sui Qiang prepared himself, quietly moving towards the lower part of the entrance.
A few seconds later, the first person descended along with a ray of light.
Seeing that he didn’t match Lin Yi’s description, Sui Qiang swiftly moved in, capturing and silencing him in a flash.
The second person descended next, with a robust build that Lin Yi imdiately recognized as his target.
He moved quietly towards him, and upon his descent, Lin Yi covered his mouth and put the knife against his neck.
The bald man instantly behaved, not even daring to breathe.
With two people silenced consecutively, the other team mbers grew alert.
"What’s going on below? What are you encountering down there?"
Holding the knife, Lin Yi put it against the man’s artery and whispered:
"Get them all down. Try anything funny, and I’ll kill you."
In terms of ntal fortitude, besides the Central Guards Brigade and Mammon, other organizations are hardly resolute.
Under Lin Yi’s threat, they had no choice but to cooperate obediently.
"There’s no issue below; the flashlight isn’t working. Co down, all of you."
Upon hearing this instruction, the others seed reassured.
Soon, the shuffling sound resud as more people crawled down.
Just then, Ning Che’s voice ca through the earpiece.
"I’m back via the original route, now at the tunnel entrance."
Lin Yi didn’t respond; the present situation required his full attention.
Soon, three more people descended one after another, and the Central Guards Brigade controlled them according to their number.
The others kept cursing, saying:
"What’s this place? Why does everyone go silent after coming down?"
Ah—
A scream suddenly rang out.
The people above exclaid:
"The rope broke! It’s an ambush; we’ve been attacked!"
As soon as they finished speaking, soone fell down.
Yet, the Central Guards Brigade maintained their order; whoever falls is controlled first.
"Get down!"
More people plumted down, needing no restraint from the Central Guards; their fall from over twenty ters high ensured their injury, despite attempts to buffer with their bodies.
The Central Guards Brigade seized the opportunity, controlling everyone who fell.
At this point, Lin Yi switched on the flashlight, illuminating the enclosed space, revealing the faces of those captured.
Recognizing Asian faces, they imdiately guessed Lin Yi’s group’s identity.
"You’re from the Central Guards Brigade."
"Correct. Sorry for eting like this first, but unfortunately, we beat you here; can’t let you have what’s here."
Holding the knife at the bald man’s throat, Lin Yi asked:
"What’s your na, and which organization are you from."
"633 Special Service Team, Matthews."
Lin Yi frowned slightly. "Never heard of it before. Where did you co from? Probably not an official team."
"We belong to an external unit of the Anglo but aren’t entirely part of this organization."
"So you’re working for the Anglo. Not under the Europe branch, are you?"
"It’s that branch."
"So Kidd sent you."
Lin Yi smiled and said:
"Consider yourselves lucky; I won’t kill you today. But it’s best to behave and not test my patience."
