"This time, they might not be as easy to take down," Li Chang'an said in a low voice, waving his hand for the squad to stop.
"We'll circle around and probe their defensive perimeter. Ruo Xi, maintain drone surveillance. Sun Yang, bring your high-explosive warheads; be ready to sow chaos the moment we engage. Qiuyue, you're with me on the assault!"
"Roger that!" Everyone moved out swiftly.
The squad silently circled to the other side, using natural rock formations for cover as they observed the area ahead.
Before them was a small clearing with a few simple barricades. A squad of fully armed Alien Martial Artists stood guard, watching over something with vigilance.
Bai Lin scanned the area with his terminal and reported in a low voice.
"Their gear is definitely better than the last group's. Especially the leader in the center—the energy reading from his armor is intense. Looks like some kind of enhancement device!"
"An enhancement device?" Sun Yang's eyes widened.
