Chapter 49: The Military's Intention

  "We found them, and they naturally found us too." Leng Bing said coldly, "Anyway, we have to go in. Two teams have already gone in earlier, but there's no movement now. I reckon they're hiding as well. What? Can't you hold your breath?"

  Charlie chuckled twice and said, "I don't know about Qiu Qi, but if someone else gets him first, we might get eliminated."

  When she heard the word "eliminated", a hint of fear flashed in Aili's eyes, but she quickly covered up her emotions and said: "Don't worry, Qu Qi is an old-fashioned terrorist, and he's notorious for being ruthless and poisonous. If it was that easy to take him down, we wouldn't have made our move."

  "Charlie, isn't your uncle in the base?" Ellie suddenly turned around and asked.

  Charlie flashed a hint of panic, hastily saying: "Who told you such nonsense? If my uncle was inside the base, I wouldn't need to run around with my head chopped off."

  "Really?" Ellie's face suddenly flashed a smile, as if the iceberg had melted.

  Charlie felt a chill run down his spine. He had been with Aileen for a long time, and when she smiled like that, it meant she was furious. And when she got angry, there was no telling what she might do - even kill someone.

  "Uh... uh..." Charlie stuttered, unsure of what to say.

  "Do you think I'd believe you're a base operative sent to control our movements?" Elly whispered, her breath tickling Charlie's ear.

  Charlie's face was covered in cold sweat as he blurted out: "I'm not, and the base isn't afraid of you escaping."

  "Oh." Aili returned to her icy demeanor, raising an eyebrow.

  Charlie almost wanted to slap himself twice, this matter his uncle had told him long ago, telling him that he must never say it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to save himself.

  "Believe me, Aili, you know me, I really like you and won't deceive you." Charlie didn't dare to mention the matter of his uncle's 'entrustment', so he just said that.

  "Really?" Ellie smoothed out the stray hairs on her forehead, pulled her hat down a bit further and smiled: "You'd like someone who's been through three beasts? And I recall you were right there watching at the time. Oh, wait, I forgot - one of those three beasts was your uncle."

  "I...I don't care..." Charlie's voice was weak and barely audible even to himself.

  Aili didn't reason with him, and said lightly: "If you don't tell them how to track our whereabouts, I'll kill you right now. Do you believe me?"

  Charlie had a hunch that he had been with Aili for a long time, and naturally knew her skills, it was obvious that she had this ability.

  A chill ran down Charlie's neck and he shivered.

  "I'm telling you, it's...it's the anti-temperature tester on our wrists. Inside, there's a radar locator and a miniature thermoelectric bomb. If your position deviates too far from the designated area, it will explode. And if you take it off, losing the constant temperature sensing, it will also explode."

  Not only was Aili shocked, but also Xu Ming and Kapu hiding in the grass not far away were also shocked. They knew that the military must have a way to control their actions, but they didn't expect it to be so 'sneaky'.

  Micro-thermal effect bombs are a type of high-yield fusion bomb, whose main principle and component composition come from nuclear reactions. In other words, they actually carry a nuclear weapon with them.

  This bomb, as Xu Ming had heard from Jack, has a very low yield due to technical reasons that make it difficult to control and highly unstable. But its power is absolutely terrifying, if there really are ones the size of their wristwatches, enough to blow up a tank into smithereens. Even ones the size of a small thumb can turn everything within a five-meter radius into dust.

  Xu Ming and Kapo exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. They weren't worried that the bomb would accidentally explode; this micro-temperature effect sensor bomb had an effective temperature point of around 10 degrees Celsius, so as long as it was still on their wrists, it wouldn't explode. What shocked them was the military's methods - they must have never intended to have a competition from the start, and whether these people won or lost wasn't important.

  Because they are human bombs themselves, the task will definitely be completed. If all die, they continue to cultivate the next batch; if there are still living, it is feared that the next task will be executed immediately.

  This kind of terrorist attack with self-explosion, any organization must be highly vigilant to respond, and their elite troops can take the opportunity to infiltrate and execute tasks perfectly. As cannon fodder, they can inflict maximum casualties on the enemy and weaken the enemy's strength.

  In this way, the purpose of the military high-level is clear, even if they know it, they can only be controlled by the military, otherwise it's a dead end.

  Indeed ruthless and poisonous, they never intended to let them live from the start. Perhaps from the moment they entered the base, they were already dead men.

  It's just a matter of degree, they probably don't allow betrayal and don't allow the cultivation of enemies, and this method undoubtedly has control in their hands.

  As for the captain's so-called cooperation, I guess it means cooperating with the enemy to expose their position.

  Xu Ming's heart suddenly cooled to below zero, he was not the kind of person who could be manipulated by others, on the contrary, he hated the feeling of being controlled. However, at this moment, his heart did not have any negative emotions, but a calmness that was unusual for ordinary people.

  Aili heard Charlie's words and her emotions didn't fluctuate at all, saying lightly: "Let's go back."

  The dagger was inserted into his waist and disappeared in the bushes.

  Charlie was taken aback and quickly wiped away a cold sweat, following closely behind Aili in a fluster.

  Xu Ming also made a gesture to Ka Pu, and the two of them quietly disappeared into the grass.

  "What?! Miniature thermal bomb?! Colonel slammed his water cup to pieces, pointing at the officer in front of him with uncontrollable anger. The officer was a lieutenant colonel, over 50 years old, with a very sinister look and scars on his face, indicating that he was also an old soldier."

  "Don't you people have any shame? Your father doesn't care about you, but the people I've cultivated, if there's a traitor among them, I'm willing to take it to military court, no need for such despicable means."

  The colonel shrugged his shoulders, facing the lieutenant colonel's scolding, without any anger, and instead said lightly: "This is what General wants, we can't make decisions."

  "I'll go tell the general that we're facing a war of unprecedented duration, and if this gets out, we'll be cursed for eternity. Who will still want to join the army then?" The major stormed off in anger.

  The lieutenant colonel was stopped by the middle school, who said: "How are you still in this temper? Hum, revealing? If our training methods were revealed at that time, I'm afraid we would have been cursed for thousands of years. Do you still care about these things?"

  The major coldly snorted and said: "This is different..."

  "There's nothing different."

  A stern voice suddenly sounded outside the 'door', the house 'door' opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties appeared at the 'door'.
