  Settle down, little brother. Meng Yao pulled Cao Feibiao over and asked in a low voice, "Do the instructors know about what happened in the county town?"

  Cao Feibiao shook his head, "Haven't had a chance to tell them yet."

  "Alright, great." Meng Yao excitedly punched him and said in a lower voice, "Biaozi, no one should mention this matter again, just the two of us knowing is enough. This way, you quickly gather a few reliable people, we'll go to the county town together to get some information first.

  "This won't do," Cao Fei Biao immediately reacted, grabbing his helmet and wanting to run, but was caught by Meng Yao. "Tell me, are you going to execute the order or not?" he said, adding more strength to his grip. However, Cao Fei Biao struggled and shook his head, almost vomiting blood. The two of them struggling startled Zhuge Dun, who hurried over and immediately understood the situation.

  "How boring and depressing." Meng Yao could only let go of his hand, rolling his eyes at the two.

  Several people stared at each other for a while, Meng Yao slowly stood up, buckling his combat belt while looking down at the map. As he looked, his hands were busy: first, he fastened the 02-style bulletproof vest, then the internal gun holster on his back, followed by the 99-style pistol with three magazines inserted. Hmm, just that the outer jacket didn't quite match, should get a long coat instead. Right, roll up the map, this needs to be checked at any time. And since it's going to be a big ocean, hide some as well. Dagger, compass, earpiece, miniature walkie-talkie. This 06-style drum-type assault rifle won't be brought, no need for it, and it's too conspicuous anyway.

  On this side, Meng Yao was busy without a word, while on the other side, the two were frightened. After a while, Cao Feibiao shook his head and motioned to Zhuge Dun to hurry up and find Lu Tao.

  When Zhuge Dun rushed out, Meng Yao was also fully equipped. He glanced at Cao Fei Biao with disdain, then grabbed the paratrooper's helmet and pushed open the door curtain with his left hand and went out. Cao Fei Biao didn't dare to slow down, and he quickly followed, rushing ahead of Meng Yao.

  The two of them didn't say a word, and walked for over ten minutes in one breath. Lu Tao's voice finally came from behind.

  Such a rush, who is better and who is worse can be seen at once. If it weren't for the fact that they had already reached the downhill rock wall, Meng Yao wouldn't have to stop and find his way, and judging from Lu Tao's ability, plus being late by another ten minutes, he would never catch up with him.

  Meng Yao stared at the snow-covered slope below, looking as if he hadn't seen a path from above. He tried to find one in several places, but eventually he punched a tree trunk in frustration and said sarcastically to Lu Tao, "Now you can rest assured, I know none of you will tell me the way down the mountain."

  Lu Tao pointed to his mouth and said breathlessly, "Let me... let me catch my breath first."

  Meng Yao snorted, glancing at the person behind him. "How can you just come alone? You're being too arrogant, you should have called all the party committee members to come together, after all, unity is strength."

  Zhu Ge looked at Meng Yao timidly, "Camp Chief, you wronged the instructor, he didn't want others to know."

  "Shut up!" Meng Yao roared at Zhuge Dan.

  At this time, Lu Tao finally changed his posture and his complexion was much better. He waved to Zhuge Dun and then ordered his guard, "You go back the way you came and welcome them. If they haven't set off yet, urge them on."

  Meng Yao looked at him with suspicion.

  Lu Tao burst out laughing and pointed at him, saying with a teasing tone, "You wouldn't dare to wear this outfit and run around in the county town, would you? I bet if you really did that, people would be scared away before you even arrived. What streets would you stroll along, what sights would you take in?"

  Just then, a team of people came running over, panting and out of breath.

  Meng Yao took a glance and almost burst out laughing. These five big, strong, and powerful warriors, who were once his comrades in the assault battalion, now looked like rustic farmers from the movies with their long gowns and horse jackets.

  "Commander, this is for you." A soldier said, handing a set of long robes to Meng Yao.

  Meng Yao took it over, unfolded it and took a look, then changed into his equipment in a flash, tried walking a few steps, and finally stood in front of Lu Tao, asking seriously: "Tao, you really don't object to me going to the county town to take a look? Actually, you should know that there are some places where we both must go. How about this, the rules definitely do not allow us to travel together, next time I'll stay home and you can go."

  Lu Tao waved his hand and pulled Cao Feibiao in front of him, saying with a ferocious face: "Biaozi, I handed the camp commander to you personally, and when you come back, you will hand him over to me personally."

  Cao Feibiao puffed out his chest and gritted his teeth: "Understood, you take care of your own affairs, I'll take care of mine."

  Lu Tao gazed deeply at Zhuge Dun once again, then looked at the other 9 warriors standing in a row, and with a wave of his hand said, "Alright, follow the battalion commander."

  The group of people soon arrived at Yangweizhen.

  After passing through several streets, Cao Feibiao led Meng Yao to a two-story small wooden building on the street. He looked around and whispered a few words to the two people who came out to greet them, then tightly hugged Meng Yao into the courtyard. The others didn't see how Cao Feibiao instructed them, but suddenly dispersed with a rustling sound and disappeared from view.

  Meng Yao walked around the courtyard for two laps, suddenly remembering. This building seemed to be Long Xiao Tian's property, and later he transferred it to the Assault Corps, and Cao Fei Biao used it as his first contact station.

  It should be the property of the revolutionary party, Long Xiao Tian said to give it away, there shouldn't be any problem.

  Meng Yao couldn't help but lift his head to look up at the building again, and suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes. Hmm, how did Xiangdi also end up here? Soon, he nodded in realization. This must be Lu Tao's doing. Xiangdi was considered a local snake, letting her follow him, Lu Tao might feel more at ease.

  After a while, Wang Tong rushed down from upstairs, excitedly looking at Meng Yao.

  "What's so exciting?" Meng Yao asked curiously.

  Brother slapped his hands and replied with satisfaction: "I demolished that house, and I felt relieved."

  Cao Feibiao was shocked by the words and hastily rushed upstairs, followed by a mournful cry from above. Meng Yao hurriedly grabbed Xuan Di and asked, "Why did you smash the house? Don't you know this is our own place?"

  My brother suddenly said with a red face, "I don't care, I was locked in that house by them for several days, so I must smash it."

  So it was. Meng Yao slowly released Xiang Brother and couldn't help but glance up at the building again.

  This girl, although she became a female bandit leader, was also a pitiful person. What a pity that her body had been ruined like this. He thought to himself and suddenly felt a wave of melancholy, then saw Cao Feibiao walking over with a mournful face, and unconsciously a surge of turbid air rushed up his throat.

  "Look at you, you're so worthless, just smash it, what's there to regret?" Meng Yao scolded, wanting to give him a slap.

  "We're not poor, are we?" Cao Feibiao said with a sly smile.

  "I don't think this place will do," Meng Yao suddenly frowned and said, "Firstly, Long Xiao Tian's reputation as a bandit is too big, both the government and the common people are keeping an eye on his business. Secondly, Long Xiao Tian's true identity is also a problem, once they unify the country in the future, this place will definitely change hands. Biaozi, we can't use this place as our base anymore."

  Cao Fei gritted his teeth and replied, "I knew from the start that this place was inherently inadequate. Once I have the money, I'll move out at the first opportunity."

  "Alright," Meng Yao clearly didn't want to dwell on the issue, and turned to the door, looking out: "What interesting people or things are there in this town? As a host, shouldn't you be showing your guest around and broadening their horizons?"

  "Not going to the county town?" Cao Feibiao found that he was reacting more and more slowly to his changes.

  "Go, why not go." Meng Yao said with a smile, "But meals have to be eaten one bite at a time. Country people going to see the big city, but it's not about being rustic or unsophisticated, is it?"
