Han Lang and the others, having successfully escaped into the jungle, felt a sense of accomplishment. They surveyed their surroundings and chatted animatedly about the thrilling events they had just experienced.
"One missile directly into the ability user base, and in an instant, the ability user base of White Elephant Country was utterly destroyed. Young Master, your plan was truly brilliant! Haha…"
Ma Long was beaming with excitement, overjoyed that their group had so smoothly resolved the ability user crisis at the border between White Elephant Country and Xia Country.
Even Tang Qin couldn't help but laugh along.
"Yes, yes! You should have seen it! The ability user base was engulfed in flames, the explosions were continuous. I estimate that besides rebuilding from scratch, they won't be able to repair anything on this foundation!"
Tang Geng chimed in.
"Rebuilding would take at least several months, perhaps half a year. At least we’ve bought more time for the cultivators of Xia Country to prepare!"
Zhao Wu also eagerly added.
"You should have seen it! The moment the base exploded, Dr. Xim's entire face turned as black as a pig's liver. I can only imagine how furious he must be right now!"
"Hahaha…"
The group shared a hearty laugh, celebrating their mission's resounding success.
Soon after, Dan Nan's expression turned serious again.
"Although we completed the mission perfectly, the ability users and Dr. Xim will undoubtedly not let this go. Moreover, while we've temporarily escaped, we are still in a foreign land, and the crisis is not over. Everyone must remain vigilant!"
Liu Xiaoxiao seconded his sentiment.
"Indeed! It's not time to let our guard down. I've observed this jungle briefly. It's not particularly large, and apart from the mountain behind us, there are no other cover. Therefore, Dr. Xim and the White Elephant Country military will definitely take action!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Long scoffed dismissively.
"What's there to fear! Even if the White Elephant Country military implements a carpet bombing and levels this jungle, with our cultivation, we won't be harmed in the slightest. Unless they use nuclear weapons. But bombing their own territory with their own nuclear weapons would be a huge international joke if it got out! Haha…"
Ma Long chuckled again as he spoke, but his words immediately drew a look of disdain from Tang Qin.
"Ma Long, can you use your cultivator's brain when you speak! Yes, military bombardment, even nuclear weapons, might not pose a significant threat to us. But don't forget, White Elephant Country has now fully partnered with the ability users! Although we are temporarily safe, our hiding spot is undeniably exposed to the ability users. If we don't hurry and find a way to escape, and they mobilize more high-level ability users to conduct a large-scale search of the mountains, do you think we can get away?"
Tang Qin's words were immediately affirmed by Liu Xiaoxiao, who quickly said.
"Tang Qin is right! We still need to think of a way to retreat safely. Deputy Dan, what do you think we should do now?"
Dan Nan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Judging by the terrain of the dense forest, the surroundings are certainly swarming with White Elephant Country elite soldiers. No matter which direction we break out, we will be discovered. Therefore, I believe that first, we must report the current intelligence to the organization, so Commander and the others can be prepared. Additionally, after the recent battle, it would be best for us to rest a bit. Simultaneously, we should carefully scout for weak points in the enemy's defenses. When the opportunity arises, we'll seize an aircraft and flee back to our country. What do you all think?"
Upon hearing Dan Nan's analysis, everyone nodded.
Han Lang directly proposed.
"In that case, Zhao Wu, you will immediately set up the communication equipment and cooperate with Ma Long to report to our superiors under Deputy Dan's direction. Political Commissar Liu and Tang Qin, you will be responsible for scouting the vicinity to see if there are any safe resting places where we can get a good night's sleep. Tang Geng and I will be responsible for reconnaissance to assess the situation of the surrounding White Elephant Country troops. How about it?"
Han Lang's arrangement was quickly approved by Dan Nan.
After he personally issued the orders, everyone began to implement them according to Han Lang's suggestions.
Soon, Zhao Wu had successfully set up the communication equipment to contact headquarters.
Dan Nan immediately began to contact the Special Forces Headquarters through an encrypted channel.
Song Heguo, who had been commanding preparations at headquarters, rushed to answer when he heard Dan Nan's call.
Dan Nan reported quickly.
"Commander. We are currently within White Elephant Country. We have learned that White Elephant Country indeed plans to collude with ability users to open a battlefront along the border with Xia Country."
"However, the plan has only just begun, so there is only one ability user base established so far."
"With our efforts, this base has been destroyed. We estimate that even if White Elephant Country and the ability users continue with their plan, it will take at least another six to seven months before the battlefield is officially opened."
"Please, Commander, find a way to mobilize the special forces and prepare to defend against the border battlefield of White Elephant Country!"
Upon hearing this report, Song Heguo's face was etched with worry.
Given the number of soldiers in the Special Forces, the deployment to the southwest and the garrison areas was already stretched thin.
If they had to find a way to open up a new battlefield, the number of soldiers would absolutely be insufficient.
However, he did not directly tell Dan Nan this. Instead, he first asked with concern.
"Are you all safe? Do you have the confidence to withdraw, and do you need support?"
Dan Nan replied hastily.
"Commander, please rest assured, all of us are safe. The withdrawal plan is being formulated, and I will apply for support if needed. Regardless, I will definitely ensure the safe return of the Shennong Heavenly Doctor!"
Hearing this, Song Heguo nodded.
"That's good. Although the southwest battlefield and the garrison battlefield have entered a state of tense troop readiness, I estimate that a conflict is unlikely. If you need support, you must inform me in advance. Additionally, if the opportunity allows, you must try to delay the opening of the White Elephant Country battlefield as much as possible. Our current troop numbers are not enough to support the opening of a new battlefield, do you understand?"
Dan Nan nodded.
"Understood! Please rest assured, organization, we will do our best."
After hanging up the phone, Song Heguo's brow furrowed deeply, and he fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, he finally gave an order.
"Someone! Notify the Huang Yuhua regiment of the First Army, First Division, to immediately proceed to the border of White Elephant Country and be prepared to provide support to Deputy Dan at any time!"
