While the team members were carefully recording these key information, they were silently thinking about the next rescue plan in their minds. Everyone's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, not because of the heat, but because of tension and pressure.

They knew that a fierce battle was about to begin, and the outcome of this battle was related to the lives of more than a dozen compatriots and the glory of the Wolf Warrior Squadron, so there was no room for slackness.

Leng Feng looked at the island, gripping his gun tightly. His eyes were filled with determination and fearlessness, as if he was declaring war on the dangerous island. He said to his teammates, "No matter how difficult it is, we must rescue our compatriots safely and let these pirates know how powerful our Wolf Squadron is! We are here to flatten this Devil's Island! Even if they turn this island into an iron wall, we can find a breakthrough and bring our people back safely!"

Ban Zhuan nodded vigorously and agreed, "Yes, Leng Feng is right! We can't be frightened by these pirates. No matter how ferocious they are, can they be as formidable as our brothers in the Wolf Squadron? Let's follow the plan and deal with their moves. I don't believe we will fail to rescue anyone and die here!"

Shi Sanba took a deep breath. Although he was still a little worried, his eyes became firm. He said, "Everyone is right. There is no other way out now. We can only go ahead. But we must be more cautious. In case of any unexpected situation, we will have a solution. I think we should send a few people to sneak around the small bay and find out the patrol patterns of the pirates in the vicinity before making any further plans."

Li Fan listened to the team members' discussion and nodded slightly. He looked deeply at the island shrouded in danger. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Sanba's suggestion is a good one. Knowing both ourselves and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Our top priority now is to learn as much as possible about the enemy's deployment on the island, especially the defenses around the place where the crew members are being held. I'll take Leng Feng and Ban Zhuan down first and find a secluded place to hide and observe. Xiaoyun, you will take the rest of the team on the helicopter to continue high-altitude reconnaissance. Keep communication open and provide us with information at any time. If you find any abnormal situation, notify us in time. We must ensure that this operation is foolproof and must not let those pirates know of our arrival."

"Yes, Captain!" The team members responded in unison. Although their voices were not loud, they revealed a resolute momentum.

Afterwards, Li Fan, Leng Feng and Ban Zhuan quickly packed their equipment, checked their weapons, and after making sure there were no problems, they put on underwater breathing apparatus and prepared to descend from the helicopter via ropes to the sea near the small bay, using the cover of the sea water to quietly approach the island.

The helicopter slowly flew to a more secluded area on one side of the small bay. The powerful airflow created by the rotor caused ripples on the sea water below.

Li Fan was the first to slide down the rope. His figure was like a nimble eagle, rapidly approaching the sea surface in the wind.

Leng Feng and Ban Zhuan followed closely behind, and the three of them soon sank into the sea, leaving only circles of gradually dissipating water splashes to prove their presence.

After entering the sea, the icy water instantly enveloped them, and the biting cold seemed to penetrate their diving suits and drill into their bones.

But the three of them didn't care about all this. Relying on their superb diving skills, they swam towards the small bay, trying to make their movements gentle and not make too much noise to avoid attracting the attention of the pirates on the island.

Underwater, they could see reefs of various shapes around them. Some of the reefs were covered with seaweed and shellfish, swaying gently with the water flow. In the dim underwater world, it looked strange.

From time to time, some small fish swam past them. They seemed to be curious about these uninvited guests. They circled around them a few times and then swam away quickly.

Finally, they swam carefully into the small bay, stuck their heads out from behind a huge reef, and quietly observed the movements on the shore.

On the shore, a few pirates were smoking cigarettes, carrying guns, and chatting casually. Their stubbled faces showed a nonchalant look, but they were always alert, and their eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time.

Leng Feng lowered his voice and said to Li Fan and Ban Zhuan through the headset: "Captain, looking at these guys, they are probably on routine patrol. We have to wait until they are far away before going ashore and finding a place to hide and continue observing."

Li Fan nodded slightly, signaling them to remain quiet and continue observing the pirates' every move.

After a while, the pirates seemed to have had enough of chatting. They put out their cigarettes and walked towards the island. Their figures gradually disappeared behind a bush.

"Let's go ashore!" Li Fan said softly, and then the three of them climbed up the shore silently from the water like ghosts, and quickly hid behind a rock on the shore. Their movements were light and agile, without making any sound, as if they had merged into the surrounding environment.

After reaching the shore, they felt more clearly the cruelty and danger of the island.

The air was filled with a damp and foul smell, as if the breath of death had been lingering here for a long time.

From time to time, some strange noises could be heard from the surrounding bushes. Perhaps it was the small animals on the island moving around, but in this tense atmosphere, it felt like there were unknown enemies hiding that could rush out at any time.

They carefully sneaked towards the island along the rocks on the shore, trying to make use of all available cover and avoid paths where pirates might be present.

Every step he took had to first observe the surrounding movements and only move after confirming it was safe. The level of caution was like walking in a minefield full of landmines.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps and low voices talking in front of them. Li Fan and his men quickly stopped, clung to the rocks, held their breath, and clenched their guns, ready to fight at any time.

I saw another group of pirates walking out of a wood. This group of pirates was larger, about seven or eight people. They were discussing something as they walked. Although I couldn't hear the specific content, from their ferocious expressions and the movements of waving weapons, it was clear that they were not talking about anything good.

"Captain, what should we do? We're in trouble now that we're exposed." Ban Zhuan asked anxiously through the headset. His voice was very low, but he couldn't hide his nervousness.

Li Fan's eyes were calm. He observed the surroundings and found a patch of dense grass nearby. He whispered, "Don't panic. Let's hide in the grass first. Move quietly and don't make any noise."

The three of them crouched down and dived into the bushes as quickly as possible, lowering their bodies as much as possible and lying on the ground, not daring to move.

The team of pirates was getting closer and closer, and their footsteps were particularly clear on this quiet island. Every step seemed to be stepping on the hearts of Li Fan and others, making their hearts almost stop.

Fortunately, the pirates did not notice them. They just walked past the bushes where they were hiding and headed in another direction.

Only after the pirates' footsteps completely disappeared did Li Fan and his companions breathe a sigh of relief, crawl out of the bushes, and continue to move slowly towards the island.

After a difficult sneak, they finally reached a relatively high terrain, where they could observe the situation on the island more clearly.

Looking from here, you can see that the simple building suspected to be holding the crew members is not far away, but there are many pirates patrolling around, and there are also several fixed outposts, and the defense is very tight.

Leng Feng frowned, looking at the building and the surrounding pirates, and whispered, "Captain, the defense is too tight. It won't be easy for us to rush in and rescue them. We have to think of a comprehensive plan."

Li Fan's brows were also furrowed. He observed carefully while thinking about countermeasures and said, "Well, don't worry, let's observe and see if there is any pattern in their shift changes and patrol routes. We can always find a breakthrough. Now let's find a more secluded place to hide and avoid being discovered."

So, the three of them quietly moved to a spot hidden by several large rocks. From here, they could clearly see the surroundings of the simple building, but were less likely to be noticed by the pirates. They lay quietly there, patiently waiting for the opportunity to break through the numerous defenses and rescue their trapped compatriots. This life-and-death battle with the pirates was about to enter its most critical moment...

After an unknown amount of time, Li Fan and his team finally discovered some patterns in the pirate patrols and shift changes. A preliminary rescue plan gradually took shape in Li Fan's mind. The next step was to put the plan into action.

The helicopter was flying over the sea at a safe distance from the island that looked like a devil, carefully searching for a suitable position like a vigilant hawk.

The driver's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He held the joystick tightly with both hands and looked through the windshield, concentrating on observing the turbulent sea below and the vague outline of the island in the distance.

The sunlight pouring down on the sea should have been a beautiful picture of shimmering waves, but at this moment the flickering light was like countless sharp blades, making people's eyes hurt, as if the sea was also using its unique way to warn people that the area they were about to enter was full of unknown dangers.

After some careful circling, the helicopter finally hovered in a relatively stable airspace.

The propeller was still spinning at high speed, making a deafening roar, which sounded like the roar of an angry beast. The powerful airflow, carrying the salty sea breeze, rushed towards the sea surface with an overwhelming force, and blew out layers of ripples of various shapes on the originally undulating sea surface.
