Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

After a careful examination, Su Ting's brows gradually relaxed—although the situation was more complicated than expected, with this information, at least most of the dangerous areas could be avoided.

"Your people are really smart."

The enemy commander seemed unsurprised by the outcome, and even had a mocking smile on his lips.

"But I still have to remind you that a few broken maps can't solve all the problems. Some dangers are too well hidden to be predicted in advance by any means."

"Thank you for your concern, but now that we have the clues, we will not act rashly without preparation."

Su Ting stood up and walked towards the window. "As for that 'deeper' secret you mentioned, I was just planning to get more clues from you."

By now, dusk was approaching, and the faint sounds of renewed fighting could be heard in the distance. A new wave of enemy attacks was about to begin.

"Well, it seems this conversation has to end here for today."

Su Ting turned to the commander, who remained expressionless.

“I’ll have someone take good care of you until you can provide more value. As for now, we need to get out of here.”

After saying this, Su Ting walked towards the door.

Just as his figure was about to disappear at the end of the corridor, he suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Tao, who was still standing in the same spot.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and catch up!"

He ordered, "Notify everyone to assemble and depart immediately; we cannot waste any more time."

As the last rays of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, Su Ting led his team members swiftly away through the dense forest path.

However, shortly after they left, fierce gunfire suddenly erupted from the previously quiet depths of the jungle.

Chapter 328 Night in the Dense Forest

Su Ting led his team swiftly through the jungle, as night gradually enveloped the entire land like thick ink.

Moonlight occasionally filtered through the gaps in the tree canopy, casting a silvery-white glow on the path ahead.

"Captain, which way do we go now?" Li Wei asked from behind, clutching the map tightly in his hand.

"We need to head north first, as far away as possible from the enemy's main area of ​​activity. We'll make further plans once we find a relatively safe place."

Su Ting answered without turning around, continuing to stride forward quickly. His sharp eyes were constantly alert to any potential threats around him.

"But that guy was right, these few maps alone can't solve all the problems," Lin Tao muttered to himself. "What if there's an ambush?"

“There are indeed risks, but this is the best option at present,” Su Ting said firmly. “We must make full use of the information we have and minimize unnecessary sacrifices.”

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

Everyone immediately became alert and gripped their weapons tightly. A figure emerged from the nearby woods, panting as it ran towards them.

He was a member of the reconnaissance team!

"Report to the captain! Enemy tracks have been spotted about two kilometers ahead. There are not many of them, but their location is well concealed."

The man reported, "Furthermore, based on our initial assessment, the other party appears to be part of a patrol force and is unaware of our presence."

Su Ting nodded, pondered for a moment, and then made a decision: "Everyone, keep your formation unchanged and continue advancing, bypassing them. It would be best to avoid a direct confrontation if possible."

In the following hours, the group successfully avoided several potential ambushes by relying on their agile movements and keen senses.

They didn't stop until the first morning star appeared in the sky, heralding the approach of dawn, and found a small depression suitable for resting.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's take a break here," Su Ting announced. "But remember, everyone takes turns on duty, and we can't let our guard down."

Upon hearing the order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to rest. Only the soldiers on the first shift remained at their posts, observing the surrounding movements.

At this moment, Su Ting sat down to rest beside a thick, old tree. Although he was exhausted, he knew in his heart that now was far from the time to relax.

"Do you really think this matter can be resolved smoothly?" Suddenly, Li Wei's deep voice came from beside him.

Seeing the unease flickering in the other person's eyes, Su Ting smiled and said.

"As long as we hold firm to our beliefs and work together, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome."

Just as this conversation was taking place, Lin Tao, who was on guard not far away, noticed a slight tremor at the edge of the forest and immediately became more alert.

Just as he was about to warn someone, a familiar and gentle voice rang in his ears.

"Don't be nervous, it's me..."

The speaker was the same commander who had fought with them earlier in the command post and was eventually captured and taken hostage!

How exactly did this person escape their confinement and arrive here?

Just as Lin Tao was speechless with surprise, the commander showed a slightly apologetic expression.

"I know this will confuse or even anger you, but I have an important message to convey to you—about the real threat you face."

Chapter 329 Complex Expressions

Hearing the commotion, Su Ting immediately stood up. He quickly walked to Lin Tao's side, and upon seeing that familiar figure, his brows furrowed with vigilance.

"How exactly did you escape?" Su Ting asked coldly, his gun already aimed at the other man.

The commander raised his hands to indicate he was harmless, a complex expression on his face: "I was released. Someone didn't want me to remain a hostage."

Li Wei leaned in from behind, his brow furrowed, and asked, "Release them? Who is it? What's their purpose?"

The commander took a deep breath and said firmly.

“There’s no time to explain now. The threat you face isn’t just patrols and small groups of enemy troops; there’s a much bigger conspiracy brewing behind the scenes. If you don’t let me finish, everyone could be in danger.”

Lin Tao couldn't help but retort, "Do you think we'd easily believe you? After all, you're on the enemy's side."

"I don't have much time left." A hint of urgency flashed in the commander's eyes.

"There are also people within the enemy ranks who don't want this battle to continue. They revealed some information to me and helped me escape, just so I could tell you this."

Su Ting pondered for a moment and decided to give this person a chance. He knew that in this environment, any piece of intelligence could be crucial.

“Okay, so what exactly is this bigger threat you’re talking about?” Su Ting relaxed his posture, but remained vigilant.

The commander glanced at the team members who were gradually surrounding him and said in a low voice.

"The forest we are in is actually a trap deliberately set by the enemy. They have set up multiple defenses around it and deployed a very special weapon—a powerful jamming system that can cover the entire area."

"Once activated, it will not only disrupt all communication devices, but also have a serious negative impact on living organisms, causing them to become disoriented or even hallucinate."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with surprise and unease. This unknown weapon sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"Why would they do that?" Li Wei asked, puzzled.

"Their goal is to corner you and then carry out a complete purge."

The commander continued, "But if we can find and destroy that control center, we can disarm the trap and disrupt the enemy's plans."

Su Ting nodded, his gaze hardening. "Do you have a map? Where exactly is it located?"

The commander took out a neatly folded map from his pocket, pointed to the location marked on it, and said, "Here, an abandoned warehouse about five kilometers away from us."

"How can we confirm whether this is true and reliable?" Li Wei still had doubts.

The commander smiled wryly and said, "I understand your concerns, but I have no other way to prove myself."

“If I were the enemy, I could simply report my location to you and let the main force surround and annihilate us. But now I have chosen to risk coming here to inform you… I hope you can believe in my sincerity.”

Su Ting stared at him for a long time before finally making a decision.

"I'll trust you this once. We'll investigate this place. If you lie or hide anything, you'll face the consequences."

The commander nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes. "Thank you for your trust. I will cooperate with you to find and destroy that control center."

At this moment, the morning star in the sky shines even brighter, foreshadowing new challenges to come.

Su Ting looked at his teammates and said loudly, "Everyone, pack your gear, we need to move out as soon as possible! Lin Tao, Li Wei, you two are responsible for leading the reconnaissance team to set off first, and make sure the roads are safe."

The team quickly assembled, fully equipped and ready to go. Everyone knew that the journey would be fraught with danger, but only by facing difficulties could they find a way to survive.

Chapter 330 Navigating the Dark Night

Lin Tao and Li Wei led a six-person reconnaissance team and set off first.

They cautiously traversed the dense forest, each person filled with apprehension. The forest seemed to grow even more eerie and terrifying at night, the occasional bird calls adding to the unease.

"Everyone, maintain formation and stay alert," Lin Tao said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings, ready to deal with any potential dangers.

Li Wei nodded and followed closely behind. "The abandoned warehouse on the map isn't far ahead; we need to speed things up."

The group continued forward when suddenly, they heard a rustling sound coming from the grass ahead. They immediately stopped and held their breath.

"What's going on?" one of the team members asked in a low voice.

"It could be an animal, but it could also be an enemy." Lin Tao quickly took out his infrared night vision device and carefully observed the surrounding movements.

After a few seconds, the rustling sound disappeared, replaced by silence.

"Safe, let's move on." Lin Tao gestured for everyone to relax, but they still dared not let their guard down.

A few minutes later, they came across a dilapidated building in a clearing in the woods. In the dim moonlight, the walls were crumbling and the roof had collapsed in many places, clearly indicating that the place had been abandoned for many years.

"Looks like this is the place we've been looking for," Li Wei said, pointing ahead.
