The Shadow Organization would surely come to rescue them, if only to preserve their secrets!
Zhang Deshuang hadn't slept a wink the entire night after first hearing the news.
He was in a state of extreme excitement.
Even in his sleep, in a daze, he could vividly imagine the Shadow Organization rescuing him and his son.
Initially, Zhang Shaohua hadn't felt much, but seeing Zhang Deshuang so thrilled, he also found himself happy.
The fifth mission for the new recruit training base was about to commence.
The night before.
Lin Weidong, stationed in the main control room, was arranging personnel transfers while inquiring, "How are the Zhang father and son doing?"
A member of the Dragon Team beside him scoffed, "Old Lin, why did you let them know that we leaked the information?"
It had made the Zhang father and son act like they were celebrating a festival lately.
They were happily eating leftovers.
In the Dragon Team member's opinion, if they had just continued to drag it out, Zhang Deshuang would eventually have broken under the psychological pressure and confessed everything.
Lin Weidong didn't answer the Dragon Team member's question immediately. He first conveyed his orders.
Then he turned and explained, "Hope followed by disappointment. Do you really think they would confess if we just dragged it out slowly?"
The Dragon Team member frowned, "It's hard to say."
The Zhang father and son's behavior since entering the prison had been consistently timid.
Normally, after just ten to fifteen days of starvation and a little interrogation, they should have confessed.
Lin Weidong, however, smiled and shook his head. "Too naive. Without employing some tactics, they would never budge."
The Zhang father and son were not a unified entity, but individuals.
What Zhang Shaohua cared about was whether he could survive.
It was obvious that as long as the Dragon Team didn't have concrete evidence, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Zhang Shaohua, even if he was imprisoned.
Zhang Shaohua understood this clearly, which was why he wouldn't confess no matter what.
He just needed to lie low. Either the Zhang family would rescue him with the Shadow Organization, or the Dragon Team would eventually give up on their own.
As for Zhang Deshuang.
As the head of the Zhang family, he had collaborated with the Shadow Organization.
This alone was enough to indicate his ambition.
What Zhang Deshuang cared about most was not himself, nor his son Zhang Shaohua, but the Zhang family!
He wanted the Zhang family to reach greater heights.
Once he revealed his conspiracy with the Shadow Organization, the Zhang family would be utterly ruined. What would be the point of him continuing to live?
Therefore, Zhang Deshuang wouldn't speak either.
"Only when they believe they have hope, only to be met with despair in the end, can they be driven to lose their reason," Lin Weidong said calmly.
The Dragon Team member beside him listened with admiration.
So, every action Lin Weidong had instructed them to take had its own purpose!
"Understood, Old Lin," the Dragon Team member said, humbly accepting the lesson.
Lin Weidong, however, chuckled heartily.
These were not his own ideas, but were told to him by Zhou Yu.
Lin Weidong was merely acting according to the plan Zhou Yu had provided.
"Alright, tomorrow is the fifth mission for the new recruits. Go make preparations."
"The Zhang family matter will have an answer soon."
With that, Lin Weidong left in a hurry.
Since all the outposts planted by the Zhang family had been uprooted, the fifth mission would not encounter any other dangers.
Therefore, it was naturally not as tense as the fourth mission.
Many new recruits spent the night tossing and turning in their dormitories.
"What do you think the fifth mission will be about?" Ouyang Feng, unable to sleep, turned to Da Xiong.
They had originally had single rooms.
However, after being assassinated by Zhu Gongfeng and the other, Ouyang Feng, using fear as an excuse, had requested to share a double room with Da Xiong.
Da Xiong was indifferent.
After all, both of them were now training under Zhou Yu, so their wake-up and return times were exactly the same.
Having a companion made it more convenient for them to train together.
Da Xiong was usually carefree. Even with the fifth mission looming, he could still sleep soundly.
It was only when Ouyang Feng's voice broke the silence that Da Xiong rolled over and said indifferently, "After tonight, we'll know tomorrow's mission. What's there to think about?"
Ouyang Feng disagreed.
He suddenly sat up in bed, "No, how can you sleep at a time like this!"
"Knowing the mission content in advance is crucial for preparation!"
Da Xiong rolled his eyes. Ouyang Feng's impassioned speech had completely ruined his sleep.
So, he rested his hands behind his head and said leisurely, "Don't worry, after Old Lin announces the mission tomorrow, he'll give us ten minutes to prepare."
"It'll still be in time to discuss it then."
For as long as they had been at the new recruit training base, it had basically been like this.
Before each mission, they were given some time to discuss and prepare.
Ouyang Feng, lying on his side, said to Da Xiong, "Rescue missions, flag collection, and exploring laboratories, we've done them all."
"I think this fifth mission should be related to survival."
By this point, it was late, and Da Xiong was too lazy to think.
However, hearing Ouyang Feng's unreliable guess, he couldn't help but say, "You're mistaken. We are martial artists; do we need survival missions?"
Ouyang Feng asked, confused, "Then what else?"
Martial artists weren't invincible...
"After all, we are new recruits for the Dragon Team, and we might become formal members in the future."
"Therefore, even if the training content involves danger, it will be minimized, primarily testing our decision-making abilities and reaction speed," Da Xiong analyzed.
The fifth mission was very likely to be related to the Shadow Organization.
After all, the resurgence of the Shadow Organization was now an open secret within the new recruit training base.
Relying solely on the formal members of the Dragon Team to investigate would be time-consuming and laborious, not to mention the risk of alerting the enemy.
They, the new recruits, were the best candidates.
Firstly, they wouldn't attract the attention of the Shadow Organization.
Secondly, the Shadow Organization seemed very interested in this batch of new recruits for the Dragon Team.
If they were lucky, they might even provoke the Shadow Organization into taking direct action.
Then the Dragon Team could catch them all in one go!
"Did Old Lin tell you all this?" Ouyang Feng exclaimed in amazement.
They were all humans, so why was there such a big difference in their brains?
Da Xiong waved his hand, "I'm just guessing. Alright, get some sleep."
"We've already hit the jackpot with Dr. Zhou's guidance. Don't always be thinking about making a splash in the training."
Da Xiong had hit the nail on the head regarding Ouyang Feng's thoughts.
The two of them were currently the most favored among the new recruits by Lin Weidong.
In the upcoming training, they didn't need to perform exceptionally. As long as they passed, they would undoubtedly be able to join the Dragon Team in the future.
But Ouyang Feng was not satisfied with that.
