106: Aniu lays mines again
Minutes later, Mountain Top Rabbit hopped into the meeting room.
Seeing its solemn expression and firm gaze, Pan Han pondered if he should include it in future meetings.
"Chirp! Chirp!" Mountain Top Rabbit entered the meeting room, sat on the floor, and saluted Pan Han with a single paw.
"At ease."
"Chirp!"
"I'm giving you a mission. There are still two hours until dark. Immediately take Rabbit and set up defenses around the base. I suspect they'll be back tonight. Be careful, you must not let them discover you." Pan Han wanted to maximize Mountain Top Rabbit's advantages.
"Chirp!" Mountain Top Rabbit saluted, then turned and wiggled its backside as it left.
"Lord, can they do it?" Qin Laoda looked at the departing Mountain Top Rabbit, a bit hesitant.
"Whether they can or not depends on their actions. Qin Laoda, regarding the monitors, find a way to upgrade the equipment. If not, pull Wu Disheng over. Isn't he known as an all-around engineer?" Pan Han issued a series of orders.
"Yes, Lord!"
"Dismissed!"
...
After everyone dispersed, Pan Han pulled Cheng Xiao back to the small room on the second floor.
Back in the room, Pan Han embraced Cheng Xiao tightly, not saying a word.
Cheng Xiao also hugged Pan Han tightly, tears slowly streaming down her face.
After so much, they no longer needed many words; one hug said it all.
They embraced for a long time before separating, looking at each other deeply.
Pan Han gave her a light kiss and casually said, "Let's eat. Don't think about anything else for now. I'll cook something special for you."
Cheng Xiao didn't reply, just nodded firmly.
"Let me see what delicious things I have."
Pan Han flipped through his spatial inventory.
"Haha, you're in for a treat. Look what this is?" Pan Han turned around and pulled out a whole tomahawk steak and a grill from his space.
"Holy shit. You even have this?" Seeing the large piece of beef, Cheng Xiao immediately changed her expression and smiled happily.
"Your Lord Pan is omnipotent! Come on, let's grill it."
"Brother, do you smell grilled meat?" Downstairs, Lord Liu, eating his self-heating meal, asked Qin Zhong.
"I smell it. It smells so good!" Qin Zhong unconsciously looked towards the second floor.
But he knew what Cheng Xiao had gone through today. Pan Han must be using food to help her forget the past.
"Brother, I want to eat grilled meat too," Lord Liu grumbled.
"Do you think I can grill? If you can, cut some and grill it!" Qin Zhong said, drooling, while tapping Lord Liu.
Time flew by, and it was past 11 PM.
At this time, Dawn Squad members were all gathered in the monitoring room, the whole room filled with smoke.
"Everyone, look. The small flashing dots on the screen, with numbers on them, these are the positions of each Mountain Top Rabbit," Old Five said, holding a cigarette and pointing at the screen.
Previously, Mountain Top Rabbit had set off with over 100 Rabbits, lurking around the base.
They had even specially worn tactical vests, each equipped with friend-or-foe identification devices. Now, each flashing light dot on the screen represented a Rabbit.
At this point, the Rabbits had each dug their holes, nestled inside, covered with grass and yellow earth. From the outside, they were completely undetectable.
"Mountain Top Rabbit, what's the situation now?" Pan Han turned on the walkie-talkie to communicate with it.
"Chirp!" Mountain Top Rabbit also imitated humans, wearing tactical headphones and adjusting the volume to the lowest setting.
"Good, continue monitoring."
"Lord, we are also ready," Qin Zhong stepped forward to report.
"Report in detail."
"Alright! Currently, we have prepared four squads. Each squad has one vehicle, with four people per vehicle, equipped with heavy machine guns, ready at any time. Once the enemy appears, I, Old Three, Old Four, and Lord Liu will each lead a squad. You should stay at the base." Qin Zhong rattled off his deployment plan.
"Good, this time I'll watch the whole situation from a God's eye view. You all be careful," Pan Han said seriously.
"Don't worry, Qin Laoda. Since they're ambushing, they probably fear our strength."
"One last request, try to capture them alive." Pan Han issued an intriguing command.
Cheng Xiao's expression didn't change at all after hearing this, her eyes as deep and calm as a profound lake, without a ripple. She simply wiped her pistol in silence.
"Received!" Everyone knew what Pan Han meant, so they nodded in agreement.
"Lord, we'll go wait in the vehicles. That way we can depart at any moment if something happens."
"Go."
Qin Zhong led everyone to turn and go downstairs. Lord Liu fiercely slapped the steel gun in his hand and said through gritted teeth, "You little bastards, watch how Lord Liu deals with you!"
Cheng Xiao said nothing, then followed them. Pan Han did not stop her, nor did Qin Laoda and the others speak.
And so, everyone waited for another hour.
Sure enough, what was coming, came!
"Chirp!" Mountain Top Rabbit at position 48 issued an alarm.
Old Five immediately switched the screen to the corresponding location, and Pan Han carefully distinguished them, indeed finding several faint figures.
"Qin Laoda, you got the message, right? It's up to you!"
Qin Zhong and his men in their vehicles also had handheld surveillance screens, so they naturally saw it.
"Let's go! Brothers, time to catch some rats!" Qin Zhong elegantly tossed his cigarette butt and led the team straight to position 48.
This location was only 7 kilometers from the base; the convoy, at full throttle, would arrive in minutes.
"Mountain Top Rabbit Squadron, listen up! All move towards position 48, encircle them like dumplings!"
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
...
"Holy cow, it's spectacular!" Old Five exclaimed, watching the more than 100 light dots moving together on the screen.
Over 100 light dots, four tactical vehicles dragging long trails of dust—the scene was nothing short of magnificent!
These figures were A Niu and his squad members.
After burying landmines last night, they observed from a distance and indeed hit their target. Tonight, he decided to try again.
As the captain of one of Z Tower's many collection teams, his objective this time was simple: to capture a group of women and bring them back.
He had also heard that Dawn Base was developing rapidly, so he made a long journey, intending to gain some benefits and scout the enemy's situation.
Thus, they ambushed in the surrounding forest until nightfall before heading towards Dawn Base.
"Niu Ge, something seems off. There seems to be movement from Dawn Base's side," a vigilant subordinate reminded A Niu.
"It sounds like cars driving," A Niu also noticed.
"Go ahead a few hundred meters to scout. If you find any problems, report immediately."
"Yes, Niu Ge!" The vigilant subordinate didn't waste words and quickly ran out.
"Let's continue. We're wearing invisibility cloaks, so it's highly unlikely we'll be discovered."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
"What was that? What just darted past?" A Niu suddenly looked up.
"Brother, couldn't see clearly, but it was kind of white."
Because they were wearing invisibility cloaks, their vision wasn't particularly good, so they didn't see clearly what it was.
"Brother, there's a convoy heading towards us. And..." The vigilant subordinate reported.
"And what?" A Niu asked anxiously.
"It seems there's also a group of Rabbits."
"What? Rabbits?"
"Yes, a group... a group of Rabbits wearing tactical vests."
At this moment, the vigilant subordinate was already surrounded by more than ten Mountain Top Rabbits.
He took off his invisibility cloak hood, wanting to see this group of Rabbits clearly, and suddenly realized the situation was not good!
