The positions of several minefields were marked very clearly by Zhou Yingting, who even made marks on the ground.

The people on Qi Ming's side hadn't been searching for long before they saw the marks on the ground and subsequently found the mines smoothly.

Upon seeing the mines on the ground, the ones inspecting the area were momentarily stunned and then quickly retreated.

"Captain, it's confirmed, there are indeed mines!"

"Really?"

The team members, who had been somewhat skeptical earlier, were taken aback when they heard this and then frowned.

It was clearly unexpected that there were actually mines.

They originally thought the intelligence might be false... but now it seems...

"Alright, no time to hesitate, move out!"

It was already early morning, and if they did not act now, they might miss the opportunity tonight.

With this in mind, Qi Ming immediately found the entrance marked by Zhou Yingting and gradually felt his way forward along the path he had marked.

The whole team was on edge the entire way, fearful they might step on a mine, causing the mission to fail.

Unexpectedly, they had almost reached under the bridge without triggering any mines.

In this situation, the Owl Squad was momentarily stunned, not expecting to have come through so smoothly.

"Ahead is where he marked the sentry, Yu Wenxing, go deal with him."

A few people huddled in the shadows, compared the map, and then looked at a seemingly inconspicuous spot ahead. Qi Ming motioned Yu Wenxing to proceed.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenxing immediately moved forward, holding a military knife in his hand, and silently approached.

"Is there someone up there?"

The others frowned slightly upon seeing this.

From this position, you couldn't see if there was someone there.

If you wanted to confirm someone was there, you'd likely have to face them directly, right?

The team waited in place, gritting their teeth with patience.

Under their watchful wait, a familiar figure appeared above after a moment and waved to them.

Upon seeing this, Qi Ming and the others quickly climbed up.

"I told you, it's impossible for there to be..."

The demolition expert climbed forward, muttering, but before he could finish, he saw a dug-out trench, with a corpse lying beneath it.

Seeing this, the demolition expert was momentarily stunned.

Qi Ming looked at the corpse, his eyes flashing, "There really was a sentry. How did he discover it?"

Based on the angle they came in from, it should've been impossible to notice a sentry above.

But Zhou Yingting found it nonetheless; such reconnaissance skill is almost too remarkable, isn't it?

Did the people behind really send them a big treasure this time?

With someone like this on their team, all future missions would be infinitely safer, right?

"Continue the operation!"

After confirming this first sentry, the group completely changed their attitude toward Zhou Yingting.

They were now convinced there must be more sentries ahead.

Although they didn't know how Zhou Yingting managed to get past the first sentry to uncover the others,

they trusted him now, and proceeded according to Zhou Yingting's detailed instructions.

After dispatching several sentries in succession, they finally reached under the bridge. Taking advantage of the darkness, the group placed explosives at the designated positions and then planted the fuses.

Once the fuse was set long enough for them to escape, they lit it and Qi Ming and the others immediately began to retreat.

With guidance from the incoming route, they managed to leave the minefield smoothly.

Just as they exited, they immediately heard the sound of explosions behind them.

Bathed in the firelight, the people on the bridge were thrown into chaos, with soldiers blindly firing in all directions.

At this time, someone finally spotted Qi Ming and the others, and bullets rained down on them like raindrops.

However, Qi Ming and the others had already run some distance away and quickly disappeared into the depths of the mountainous forest under the cover of night.

The Owl Squad did not linger and immediately relocated.

Aside from sending a telegram to headquarters in transit, informing them Hanshui Bridge had been demolished, everyone began moving.

Knowing they blew up such an important bridge, they believed the enemy wouldn't let it go easily, and a counterattack was to be expected.

The Owl Squad finally stopped after an entire night's journey.

"Let's rest for a bit,"

Qi Ming waved his hand, letting everyone pause for a break.

After running all night, even though they were professionally trained, they still found it quite exhausting.

At his words, several people found a suitable spot to rest, while Qi Ming arranged for a few to take turns keeping watch, making sure not to be caught off guard.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

As soon as they settled down to rest, they suddenly heard roaring sounds from afar.

Looking up, they saw helicopters whooshing overhead.

Judging by the look of it, the helicopters appeared to be searching for someone.

Upon seeing this, the Owl Squad suspected that this was most likely a pursuit for them.

The Hanshui Bridge was too crucial, and having it destroyed like this, it's unlikely they wouldn't be infuriated.

They never expected that even after reaching this point, the enemy helicopter would still search for them.

However, seeing the aimless search by the opponent, they probably still didn't know their location.

Thinking this way, the group didn't mind and lay down to rest.

....

"Where's Xu Ding?"

On Battlefield 9, Bai Siwei was directing the newcomers to construct the defensive fortifications.

She had been at this position for a day, and they had just fought a battle earlier that day. The sky was now turning slightly brighter.

Estimating that it wouldn't be long before the enemy launched another attack.

Knowing that a big battle was imminent, she immediately began checking the personnel in the fortifications to see if everyone was at their posts.

However, when she walked to the right side of the line, she found that there was clearly one person missing in the trench.

According to the previous arrangement, the length each person was supposed to defend was about five to six meters, but someone was clearly missing here.

Seeing this, Bai Siwei recalled who was supposed to be guarding this line.

"Hiding in the air raid shelter, too scared to come out."

A newcomer beside her heard this and immediately spoke up.

Bai Siwei's expression stiffened upon hearing this; during the day yesterday, although these people were scared, there were no signs of panic.

So why were they now too scared to come out today?

Thinking of this, Bai Siwei's face turned cold as she directly walked into the air raid shelter, soon seeing several people inside.

It wasn't just Xu Ding who dared not to come out, there were others as well.

Seeing this scene, Bai Siwei couldn't help but hold her breath.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you going out to guard your positions? If you don't go out, your comrades outside will have to hold the line for you!"

At this moment, Bai Siwei's face was full of anger.

"It's easy for you to say. What if we go out and die? If we die, we're really dead!"

"Exactly, as long as we hide in here, even if we lose, we'll only lose half of our Life Value!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ding and the others immediately refuted loudly.

They were scared yesterday seeing bombs and guns taking down people around them.

Those unacquainted with the battlefield panicked when facing it directly, their mental tolerance quickly crumbling.

At this point, they no longer dared to risk their lives.

After all, if they were to die, it could very well be true death, no different from a real battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Bai Siwei took a deep breath, "You have to understand, if you continue hiding here, I have the authority to execute you!"

It seemed from their appearance that they truly no longer wished to fight.

Thinking of this, Bai Siwei gritted her teeth and angrily rebuked them.

But as soon as she said this, Xu Ding and the others immediately grabbed their weapons and looked at Bai Siwei cautiously.

It seemed that if she really tried to attack, they wouldn't surrender without a fight.

Bai Siwei's expression hardened, "Impressive, you're afraid to use weapons against the enemy outside, but have the guts to turn them on your own. That's your courage."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ding and the others blushed, but they quickly retorted angrily, "We didn't want to enter this mission; we just want to survive, is that wrong?"

Hearing this, Bai Siwei took a deep breath, knowing that mere threats wouldn't persuade them. Softening her voice, she continued.

"Do you know that if you complete the mission, the reward starts at 10 million RMB? Do you honestly think you can earn that much money in your lifetime?"

Bai Siwei glanced at their clothes; most of them didn't look like they came from wealthy backgrounds.

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Xu Ding and the others were momentarily stunned. Completing the mission would earn them 10 million RMB? So much?

Thinking of this, some were immediately tempted. If it was really 10 million RMB, perhaps it was worth the risk.

"Why would I lie? From my previous mission completions, I chose money several times and accumulated this amount, you can see for yourselves."

As she spoke, Bai Siwei took out her phone.

She had screenshots of her account balance, now being put to good use.

Looking at the screenshots showing an increase of ten million each, Xu Ding and the others felt their hearts skip a beat, beginning to waver.

"Rest assured, I've successfully completed several missions, I'm an experienced player. As long as you follow my lead, I can definitely guide you through this mission."

Seeing that some people were already intrigued, Bai Siwei continued to persuade them, "As you can see, I've accumulated quite a fortune, yet I willingly enter these missions, it proves there's really nothing to fear, and they can be easily completed."

Bai Siwei's words made Xu Ding and the others grit their teeth, then they stood up together.

"Fine, we'll trust you this time!"

10 million!

Money they couldn't earn in their lifetimes. If completing this mission could actually reward them with that amount, they were willing to try!

Seeing them finally persuaded, Bai Siwei felt relieved.

Though it seemed like these few were inconsequential, in this environment, one person's fear of battle could easily spread to others, potentially causing the entire team to collapse.

With over a hundred people, if she managed them well, there was still a chance to influence the outcome of this big battle.

She had heard some news about the 14th Army, knowing their situation was dire, and they were no match for the enemy in strength.

If she couldn't make some changes here and weaken the enemy forces, it would be impossible to complete this mission.

Even though Zhou Yingting and his group were absent, it didn't matter. Once the mission was completed, she would see what contributions Zhou Yingting and his team had made.
