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

“I couldn’t see very clearly… about three or four people,” Lina replied softly. “But their movements were very professional; they were clearly not ordinary homeless people.”

Su Ting gripped his weapon tightly and whispered to Xiao Liu, "Be prepared, we may be facing a sudden encounter. If there's an opportunity, try to capture one alive."

"Understood." Xiao Liu nodded, his gaze firm.

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence of the night. "Mr. Su? Please don't misunderstand, we are allies," the man said in a low voice. "I'm here to discuss something with you."

Su Ting frowned, signaling Ah Qiang and the others to remain vigilant, before slowly stepping out of the room. In the moonlight, several dark figures gradually emerged, led by a man in military uniform with a serious expression.

"Who are you?" Su Ting asked in a deep voice, still gripping his weapon tightly, not daring to relax his grip even slightly.

The man removed his helmet, revealing a weathered yet resolute face. "I am Li Zhiyuan, from a small detachment of the resistance. We know you are looking for those medical reagents."

"Rebel army?" Su Ting's eyes sharpened; clearly, the name was not unfamiliar to him.

“Yes, we’ve been operating in this area for months, specifically fighting against those dark forces,” Li Zhiyuan continued. “Last night, we spotted you during our surveillance. Learning that you were also interested in the targets we’re fighting, we came to find you.”

Su Ting hesitated, unsure if these people were truly trustworthy. But he also knew that finding allies under these circumstances was invaluable. "How did you know I was interested in these pharmaceutical preparations?"

Li Zhiyuan smiled and took out a secret letter from his pocket. "We have intercepted some intelligence. Perhaps what you want is in here."

Su Ting took the secret letter and quickly glanced at it. It contained information about pharmaceutical reagents and the location of a secret laboratory. "It seems you do indeed possess important information."

Xiao Zhou and the others also came out of the room and surrounded Su Ting. Looking at the group of soldiers, A-Qiang seemed relieved and whispered to Lina, "It seems they really came to help us."

Su Ting lowered his guard, handed the secret letter to Xiao Zhou for careful examination, and then turned to Li Zhiyuan: "Thank you for your help. If we can really cooperate, it will definitely speed up the operation."

“That’s right, unity is strength.” Li Zhiyuan nodded in agreement. “Then, tomorrow we’ll set off according to the location in this intelligence report and try to find out the truth as soon as possible. How about it?”

“Okay,” Su Ting nodded in agreement, “but we also need to ensure safety. I hope you won’t let us down.”

"Don't worry, we will do our best," Li Zhiyuan assured, patting his chest.

After discussing the specific action plan for a while, everyone decided to take a good rest for the time being to prepare for the upcoming mission with plenty of energy.

The following morning, as the first rays of sunlight illuminated the earth, the group had already assembled at the village entrance. They organized their equipment, checked their weapons and supplies, and were ready to set off.

"Are you ready?" Su Ting turned to look at his teammates.

Everyone nodded, their expressions resolute. Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Captain, as long as you're here, we have confidence!"

"Let's set off!" Su Ting gave the order, and the group marched towards their destination. Although the road ahead was unknown, each of them was determined to win.

Not long after the group left the village, Li Zhiyuan suddenly called out to Su Ting: "By the way, there's something else I need to tell you..."

Su Ting turned his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "What is it?"

Li Zhiyuan paused, then said solemnly, "Last night, my scouts discovered a group of enemy soldiers moving in this direction. It's estimated they'll arrive here before this evening."

Chapter 464 Dense Forest

Su Ting's eyes immediately sharpened: "How many enemies are there? What is their objective?"

Li Zhiyuan shook his head, his brows furrowed: "The exact number is still unclear, but according to preliminary estimates, it's at least the size of a small team. As for their purpose, it's probably the same as ours—they're all after those medicines and reagents."

“In that case, we must act quickly,” Su Ting said in a deep voice. “If we let them get there first, our mission will become even more difficult.”

“Yes, we must race against time.” Li Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

The procession continued forward, a tense atmosphere permeating the air.

They traversed dense forests, carefully avoiding any potential dangers. As time passed, the sun rose higher, its rays filtering through the trees and adding warmth to their journey.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhou stopped and looked around warily. "What's wrong?" Lina asked softly.

"I have a feeling someone is watching us," Xiao Zhou said in a low voice. "Something's not right here."

Ah Qiang and Su Ting also became alert. They quickly launched a search but found no trace. "Don't let your guard down," Su Ting warned. "We could be attacked at any moment."

The team set off again, each step more cautious than the last. After walking for a while, a valley appeared ahead. According to the information in the secret letter, this secret laboratory should be hidden in the valley.

“The terrain here is complex and makes it easy to hide,” Li Zhiyuan analyzed. “We should split into two groups. One group should go directly into the valley to investigate, while the other group should flank the enemy to prevent them from launching a surprise attack.”

“Good idea.” Su Ting nodded. “Xiao Liu, A Qiang, and I will enter through the side path. You and Lina will lead your men to flank from the left.”

The team split into two groups, each proceeding along the designated route. The paths through the valley were rugged and thorny, forcing them to climb rocks and wade through streams at times. Despite the numerous difficulties, everyone persevered without the slightest sign of giving up.

"Captain, do you think this operation will go smoothly?" Xiao Liu asked.

Su Ting glanced around, took a deep breath, and said, "Only by doing our best can we avoid regrets. No matter what, we must find those medical reagents, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" A-Qiang pressed.

"Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable," Su Ting said gravely.

Just then, several gunshots rang out from ahead. Su Ting immediately ordered a halt, and everyone quickly took cover. He picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered, "Li Zhiyuan, how's it going over there?"

“We’re close to our target, but there seems to be some unidentified forces lurking around,” Li Zhiyuan’s voice came through the radio. “Be careful and don’t let your guard down.”

"Received." Su Ting replied, then looked at Xiao Liu and A Qiang, "It seems our opponent has appeared as well."

The three quickly adjusted their stance, preparing for the impending battle. Suddenly, a burst of gunfire erupted, bullets raining down like downpours. Su Ting immediately directed his team to take cover while simultaneously returning fire.

"A-Qiang, cover me!" Su Ting shouted, rushing behind a rock to find a firing angle. A-Qiang quickly set up his gun and opened fire on the enemy.

After a fierce firefight, the enemy's firepower gradually weakened. Su Ting seized the opportunity and led his team forward. Just then, Li Zhiyuan's voice came through the radio again: "Su Ting, we have entered the laboratory area, but the entrance has been destroyed."

"Damn it!" Su Ting cursed, then turned to Xiao Liu and said, "Contact the rear; we need reinforcements."

"Yes." Xiao Liu quickly operated the radio and called for backup. At the same time, Su Ting continued to direct his team to advance, attempting to break through the enemy's defenses.

Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, a figure darted out of the woods, wielding a long sword and charging straight at Su Ting. Su Ting reacted swiftly, dodging the attack and then drawing his own dagger to counterattack.

Chapter 465 At a Disadvantage

The man was incredibly fast, his long sword gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Although Su Ting was agile, the opponent's attacks were relentless, like a storm. After barely managing to parry a few blows, he found himself forced behind a rock.

"Xiao Liu, A Qiang, come and help!" Su Ting shouted.

Upon hearing their captain's cries for help, A-Qiang and Xiao-Liu immediately rushed over. At the same time, bursts of gunfire erupted from Li Zhiyuan's side, clearly indicating that the enemy had launched a simultaneous attack on them.

"Has reinforcement arrived?" Su Ting asked Xiao Liu while fending off the knife-wielding man's attacks.

"They're on their way, but it'll probably take a few minutes to get there," Xiao Liu replied. He raised his gun and aimed at the man with the knife, but hesitated to fire, worried about accidentally injuring Su Ting.

"I'll give it a try!" Ah Qiang shouted and rushed over quickly, holding a short stick tightly in his hand.

He engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the knife-wielding man. The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch, but Ah Qiang was not a professional close-combat expert and gradually found himself at a disadvantage.

The man with the knife suddenly delivered a heavy blow, causing Ah Qiang to stagger and fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Su Ting was furious. He seized the opportunity and pounced on the man with the knife. His dagger flashed like lightning and finally pierced the man's abdomen.

The knife-wielding man groaned in pain, his body swaying as he collapsed. But he didn't give up; he struggled to retaliate. Seeing this, Su Ting swiftly stepped forward and delivered the final blow, ending the fight completely.

"Ah Qiang, are you alright?" Su Ting asked with concern.

"N-nothing...it's nothing." Ah Qiang said breathlessly, clutching his injured arm. "Captain, that guy seems to have some companions."

“We must keep going,” Su Ting said firmly. “We can’t back down now, or all our previous efforts will be in vain!”

The three readjusted their approach and continued forward along the rugged path. Just then, Li Zhiyuan's voice came through the radio again: "Su Ting, we've found a backup entrance, but it seems to be riddled with traps."

"Understood," Su Ting replied. "Don't act rashly yet. Wait for reinforcements to arrive before making any plans. We will get there as soon as possible and try to break through the enemy's defenses from another direction."

After speaking, Su Ting led Xiao Liu and A Qiang to quicken their pace. They cautiously traversed the dense forest, each step fraught with danger. Just then, several dark figures suddenly appeared ahead, clearly enemy sentries.

"Watch out, there's an ambush!" Su Ting shouted in a low voice, immediately ordering his team members to take cover.

A brief but intense firefight ensued in the woods. Xiao Liu and A Qiang fired accurately, taking down several enemies. Meanwhile, Su Ting seized the opportunity to circle around to the enemy's rear and silently eliminated the remaining sentries.

“It’s safe here,” Su Ting said in a low voice, “but we can’t let our guard down; there may be more enemies.”

The three continued onward and finally arrived at the valley. Before them was an open area with a seemingly abandoned building in the center, surrounded by some dilapidated wooden houses.

"This is it," Su Ting said. "Let's go in and check it out first, then wait for backup."

The three cautiously entered the building. A musty smell permeated the corridor, and the paint on the walls had peeled off, making it appear particularly eerie. They proceeded along the narrow passage, stopping every few steps to carefully observe their surroundings.

"Strange, why is it so quiet in here?" Xiao Liu asked, puzzled.

“That’s exactly what makes me uneasy,” Su Ting said in a deep voice. “The enemy may have already set a trap, so we need to be even more careful.”

Just as the three were about to enter the laboratory area, a series of hurried footsteps approached from ahead. A masked man, armed with a gun, appeared in their line of sight.

Chapter 466 Looking Around

Su Ting immediately gestured for Xiao Liu and A Qiang to crouch down, and the three quickly hid in a corner. The masked man seemed not to have noticed them; after nervously glancing around, he hurried through the corridor and disappeared around a corner.

"It seems this place is indeed not simple," Su Ting said in a low voice. "Everyone, stick close to me and don't fall behind."

The three continued forward silently, trying not to make a sound. After walking for a while, they suddenly heard a faint conversation ahead. They stopped and listened carefully, and could vaguely make out some indistinct words.

"How's the plan going?" a hoarse voice asked.

"Progress is going well, the samples have been extracted, and we are just waiting to evacuate," another voice replied.

Su Ting gave Xiao Liu a wink, and Xiao Liu nodded, quietly taking out a small listening device and sticking it to the wall. A few seconds later, the conversation became much clearer.

"This operation must be carried out flawlessly; we've already lost too many lives." The hoarse voice rang out again.

"Don't worry, the defenses here are very tight. Even if they find out, they will have a hard time breaking through."
