Li Chang'an gestured for everyone to spread out and proceed with caution.
"Stay in contact. Report anything you see," Li Chang'an ordered in a low voice.
The squad members each found cover and advanced silently toward the target area.
Han Ruoxi and Shen Qiuyue took the flanks, responsible for security, while Sun Yang provided fire support, ready to open fire at the first sign of danger.
As they ventured deeper into the mountains, the terrain grew more treacherous, and a heavy feeling hung in the air.
Li Chang'an remained on high alert, the only sound the wind whistling past the rocks.
"Captain, I have no signs of Insect Race activity on my side," Han Ruoxi's voice came through the comms.
"Same here," Shen Qiuyue reported softly.
Li Chang'an nodded. "Keep moving. Don't let your guard down."
They advanced slowly, every step taken with extreme care.
