The convoy sped along the alley and finally stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse.
Su Ting and his team members quickly got out of the car, and Zhao Lei led them into the warehouse.
The warehouse was filled with old boxes and miscellaneous items, and a musty smell permeated the air.
“There’s a secret passage here that leads directly to a safe house on the other side of the city,” Zhao Lei explained.
Su Ting frowned, looking at Zhao Lei with some suspicion: "Are you sure this safe house is reliable?"
Zhao Lei nodded, his eyes resolute, and said, "I guarantee that the person in charge there is one of our own. Now, we don't have much time, let's get going."
Su Ting hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
He understood that they had no other choice in this situation. The team members quickly followed, and the group went through a hidden door in the warehouse and advanced along a concealed tunnel.
The tunnel was dimly lit, and one could barely see the road ahead.
Everyone held their breath and proceeded cautiously. Suddenly, Zhao Lei stopped and signaled for everyone to stop.
"There's a patrol team ahead, we need to be careful," Zhao Lei said in a low voice.
Su Ting nodded in acknowledgment and led his team slowly closer. With the help of the dim light inside the tunnel, they could see several figures moving back and forth ahead.
"Prepare for action," Su Ting whispered.
The team members quickly split into two groups: one group provided cover while the other group took the opportunity to flank the patrol personnel from behind.
Just as the patrol officers were about to spot them, the team members swiftly moved in and subdued them one by one.
“Well done, keep going,” Su Ting said.
The group quickly passed through the patrol area and finally arrived at a spacious underground space. This was the secret entrance to the safe house, and Zhao Lei stepped forward and opened the door.
"We've arrived," Zhao Lei said, pushing open the door.
The room was dimly lit, and a middle-aged man walked towards us. He looked calm and reliable.
"You've worked hard. Where are the samples?" the middle-aged man asked.
Su Ting gestured for his men to hand him the samples and said, "These are things we brought back at great risk. Please take good care of them."
The middle-aged man nodded, took the sample, carefully examined it, and after confirming that everything was correct, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure these samples are safe. You all should get some rest too; the next task will require your continued efforts."
Chapter 478 Leading the Team to Complete the Mission
Su Ting nodded, feeling a weight lifted from his shoulders.
He turned to look at Zhao Lei and said gratefully.
"Thank you. Without you, we might have already fallen into enemy hands."
Zhao Lei smiled, a warm light flashing in his eyes, "We are partners, it is only right that we help each other."
The middle-aged man nodded and patted Su Ting on the shoulder. "You guys go and rest first. Leave this to me. I'll take care of the rest."
Su Ting nodded gratefully and led his team to the nearby rest area. The team members found places to sit down, breathed a sigh of relief, and began to whisper about their thrilling experience.
"I never expected this mission to be so dangerous," Li Ming said, leaning against the wall, still shaken.
"Yes, thanks to Zhao Lei, otherwise we wouldn't know where we are now," Zhang Tao echoed.
Su Ting did not join their conversation; he sat quietly to the side, looking at Zhao Lei with a complicated expression.
He knew that Zhao Lei had many secrets, but he decided to put aside his doubts for the time being because they really needed to trust each other right now.
"Why did you choose us?" Su Ting suddenly asked, his gaze fixed on Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei smiled at him, his eyes softening.
"Because I believe you can lead the team to complete the mission. Moreover, in this situation, only if we trust each other can we overcome the difficulties together."
Su Ting took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and his doubts lessened a bit. "So what do you plan to do next?"
Zhao Lei remained silent for a moment, then looked intently at Su Ting.
“We need to contact our superiors as soon as possible to report the situation. At the same time, we also need to ensure safety here. Don’t worry, I won’t put you and the team in danger.”
Su Ting smiled slightly and nodded, "Alright, I believe you."
The middle-aged man walked over, holding several documents. "Captain Su, this is our next plan. You need to familiarize yourself with it to prepare for tomorrow's operation."
Su Ting took the document and carefully read through it. "Okay, I will familiarize myself with the contents as soon as possible."
Zhao Lei stood to the side, his gaze fixed on Su Ting. He knew Su Ting was still observing him, but he was fully prepared to fight alongside his teammates, no matter the difficulties they faced.
"Everyone, get some rest and recharge your energy. We have another tough battle to fight," the middle-aged man said to the crowd.
The team members all agreed and found suitable spots to take a short break. Su Ting and Zhao Lei also found a bench and sat down.
Su Ting closed his eyes, trying to relax. But the scenes from just now kept replaying in his mind. He turned to look at Zhao Lei beside him and found him also deep in thought.
"Do you think we'll succeed?" Su Ting broke the silence.
Zhao Lei looked at him, a determined glint in his eyes. "We will definitely succeed. As long as we work together, nothing is impossible."
Su Ting smiled slightly, his unease gradually dissipating. "Then let's face the new challenges together."
As the night deepened and all was quiet, the lights in the abandoned warehouse dimmed, leaving only the sound of their breathing echoing in the air.
The wind outside was still blowing, as if it too was waiting for them to welcome the dawn.
"Get some rest, see you tomorrow," Zhao Lei said softly.
"See you tomorrow," Su Ting replied.
Chapter 479 Unexpected Situation
Chapter 479 Unexpected Situation
After carefully storing the samples, the middle-aged man turned around and glanced at each person for a second, as if assessing their condition.
"I'm the person in charge here, you can call me Lao Li. This place is safe and secluded, no one will disturb you," Lao Li said, his voice deep and steady.
Su Ting nodded, looked around, and found that although the safe house was not large, it was fully equipped and had obviously been carefully designed.
"How long do we need to rest?" Su Ting asked.
“At least four hours, that’s enough time for you to recover your strength. I’ll have someone arrange everything,” Old Li replied.
Zhao Lei added from the side, "Old Li is right. The road ahead is even more treacherous, and we must make sure everyone is in top condition."
The team members each found a place to sit down; some began checking their equipment, while others closed their eyes to rest. Su Ting leaned against the wall, still pondering the intelligence they had gathered earlier.
"How did you know there would be patrol personnel?" Su Ting asked Zhao Lei in a low voice.
Zhao Lei sighed, his eyes flickering: "I do have some intelligence, but it's not comprehensive. These enemies seem to be adjusting their strategies and increasing their vigilance."
"Do you think we can successfully send the samples out?" Su Ting pressed.
Zhao Lei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We will succeed, you believe me."
Old Li then came over and handed them some simple food and water: "Eat something to keep your strength up."
Everyone accepted the food and began to eat in silence. A heavy and tense atmosphere filled the air.
After finishing their meal, Su Ting walked to the map and began studying the route carefully. Zhao Lei followed, and the two discussed their next move.
“This route is the safest, but it’s also the longest,” Zhao Lei said, pointing to a line on the map.
Su Ting nodded: "Time is of the most important thing for us, but we can't take any risks."
Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door. Old Li got up to open it, and a young man stood outside, holding a folder in his hand.
"This is the latest enemy situation report. Please review it as soon as possible," the young man said respectfully.
Old Li took the folder and gestured for him to leave. Then, Old Li opened the folder, his brow furrowed.
"Something seems wrong. The enemy has strengthened the blockade of the north of the city. It looks like we need to change our route," Old Li said to Su Ting.
Su Ting took the folder, quickly glanced through it, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
“What if we go east? The terrain there is complicated, which might be a good option,” Zhao Lei suggested.
Su Ting nodded and looked at Zhao Lei: "Then let's give it a try, but we need to be fully prepared."
Old Li immediately began contacting the other team members to prepare to gather the necessary equipment and support. The room instantly became bustling with activity as everyone threw themselves into the final preparations.
Two hours later, everyone had finished packing and was ready to leave. Old Li stood at the door and said to them, "Be careful on the road. I'll be here waiting for you to come back."
Su Ting nodded to Lao Li and led his team back into the tunnel. This time, the tunnel was even more winding, and the footsteps in the darkness sounded particularly loud.
"Listen carefully and be ready to respond to any emergencies," Su Ting commanded in a low voice.

The team members nodded in unison, remaining highly vigilant. After passing through several narrow passages, they finally arrived at a wide underground corridor.
“This corridor leads directly to the East Gate, where there is a hidden path that leads directly out of the city,” Zhao Lei explained.
