Chapter 213 Entering the City
"But if so many of us all go into the city, we'll be too conspicuous."
"That's why I said it was a portion of the people who moved to the city."
Yu Miaomiao paused for a moment, then said, "The rest of us will stay here until we get out and leave together."
"What? But this roof won't last much longer. They're committing slow suicide here."
Chu Bai stared at the precarious roof, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.
"Moreover, once those people disappear, their crimes will soon be exposed, and we cannot be sure whether the city's administrators will take action against them."
After entering the city, they didn't know how long it would take to find those people, nor did they know what dangers might occur. Those who stayed behind could only wait passively. If they didn't return, those who stayed behind might be wiped out by the strong acid rain, or they might be directly detained by the city's administrators.
The risk is too great.
Chu Bai's concerns are indeed valid.
In this situation, a more prudent plan needs to be considered.
Yu Miaomiao realized he had been naive; they needed to reassess all options to ensure the team's safety.
Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath, seemingly considering other possibilities.
"Then shall we just leave?"
Lu An muttered to himself, "If they won't let us in, then we simply won't go in."
"No, Chief Yang is still negotiating with the other side. We can't show any signs of wanting to leave, or rather, we must show that we are eager to enter the city so as not to arouse suspicion."
"So we have to leave some of our people here," Ji Feng, who had been relatively silent, suddenly spoke up.
"I think the other side doesn't want us to enter the city; on the contrary, they are at their wits' end and need our help to evacuate."
"What do you mean?" Chu Bai asked, looking puzzled.
Ji Feng explained, "Based on the intelligence you have now, the situation inside that base may be worse than we imagined."
They may be facing some insurmountable problem, such as resource shortages or some kind of threat, to the point that they have to seek outside assistance.
"You mean they actually need us?" Yu Miaomiaoasked.
Ji Feng nodded: "I think so. But now the base has probably changed its leader, so there are disagreements. And this new leader is either an incompetent person or a very scheming person."
"You mean he might be deliberately feigning indifference to the rescue, testing our true capabilities?"
Ji Feng nodded: "That's right. If he were the newly appointed leader, he might want to test our strength and sincerity in this way."
He may be worried that we will take advantage of the situation and seize their resources or control.
Therefore, he had to deliberately adopt a superior attitude to see how we would react.
"In other words, we must demonstrate our sincerity and capabilities, while also avoiding appearing too weak," Yu Miaomiao analyzed.
"That's right," Ji Feng continued. "We should follow Miss Yu's previous plan and send a Squadinto the city first. But this team should not only represent our strength, but also be able to flexibly deal with any possible situations."
At the same time, we also need to prepare contingency plans, just in case.
"Then we need to decide now who goes into the city first," Chu Bai said.
Yu Miaomiao thought for a moment and suggested, "I'll go into the city with you, and He Liang will stay behind. We need to make sure that those who stay behind also have sufficient protective measures and are ready to evacuate at any time."
Ji Feng agreed to Yu Miaomiao's suggestion: "Okay, I will select a few reliable people to come into the city with me. We need to bring something that can prove our sincerity, such as non-lethal weapons, medical supplies, and other materials that may be useful to them."
Yu Miaomiao also considered this point, so she had to enter the city. However, once she entered the city, the people left behind would have nowhere to escape if something happened to them, so she had to leave behind someone who could adapt to changing circumstances.
Only He Liang could be spared; his Shadow Evasion would be enough to save these people's lives at a critical moment.
Chu Bai nodded and said, "This way, we can show our sincerity while avoiding excessive exposure. Also, K should stay behind to maintain communication."
"clear."
With everything prepared, everyone automatically split into two teams.
Entering the city. Yu Miaomiao led a few people secretly through the marked paths and reached the city wall.
