<strong>Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Sophisticated Surveince Equipment</strong>


    “No, once I saw your intimidating presence, I knew I couldn’t beat you.” Xiang Yu said as he quickly took two steps back.


    They were currently on someone else’s turf, and if they were careless, they could easily be discovered. Xiang Yu wasn’t foolish enough to engage in a fight here.


    Moreover, Xiang Yu could tell at a nce that this person was all swagger on the outside but actuallycked substance. He wondered how this person became the deputy captain.


    Wu Qilong was very satisfied with Xiang Yu’s behavior, especially in front of the woman he fancied.


    “Good that you know. Now hurry up and get lost.” Wu Qilong said with a contemptuous look, lifting his chin.


    Wu Qilong began to suspect that Xiang Yu was just a coward. It wasughable how Hou Zhantian imed this kind of person would achieve limitless sess in the future.


    “Captain Wu, we’re short on manpower right now. Why not let him join us? Working together would provide some assurance.” Wang Qian suggested.


    Wang Qian knew about Xiang Yu. He must have a reason for appearing here. She was somewhat worried about Xiang Yu’s safety and wanted to act together.


    “No way, he would only slow us down, and besides, I don’t trust him,” Wu Qilong tly rejected.


    Xiang Yu quickly nodded, chuckling, “Indeed, I would slow you down. I’m leaving, goodbye.”


    As the sky darkened gradually, Xiang Yu didn’t want to linger here any longer.


    “Stop!” Wu Qilong suddenly yelled, “You’d better not disclose what we’re doing here, or don’t me us for being ruthless.”


    Xiang Yu merely smiled, nodded to Wang Qian, and then walked away. Wu Qilongcked any sophistication and wouldn’t achieve greatness. Xiang Yu saw no need to bicker with such a petty person.


    Watching Xiang Yu leave, Wu Qilong scoffed, “Hou Zhantian’s judgment isn’t very good, thinking this person will achieve greatness.”


    Wang Qian felt speechless. Wu Qilong had beenpletely outwitted by Xiang Yu, yet he still thought of himself as clever.


    “I know Xiang Yu. This person is not simple, so don’t underestimate him.” Wang Qian said while ncing in the direction where Xiang Yu had left.


    Hearing Wang Qian speak for Xiang Yu, Wu Qilong inexplicably felt a surge of resentment, and said, “When we see him again, I’ll show you that he’s nothing but a nobody.”


    Originally, Wang Qian worked for Hou Zhantian, but after Hou Zhantian went missing, she was transferred to Wu Qilong’s team to investigate the case.


    This transfer was specifically requested by Wu Qilong, aiming to build a rapport through working together.


    Wang Qian didn’t pay attention to Wu Qilong; she was even more disappointed in him now.


    After leaving the area, Xiang Yu found a rtively concealed spot to hide. It wasn’t time to infiltrate yet; he needed to wait quietly.


    Given that Wolf Fang’s people were present, it indicated they had realized there was a problem.


    Yet what puzzled him was why Wolf Fang sent such a fool here, which was simply ruining their image.


    The sky darkened gradually, and at seven in the evening, it waspletely dark. The stars twinkled in the sky, and the sky here was very blue, totally different from the city skies.


    If there were no mission, if Xiang Yu were just an ordinary person, he could have called some friends over for a BBQ in the mountains. It would have been delightful.


    Shaking his head to dispel stray thoughts, Xiang Yu retrieved the night vision goggles from his backpack.


    These were military-grade equipment allowing him to see things invisible to the naked eye. As Xiang Yu put them on, he broke out in a cold sweat.


    Just twenty meters away, there was heat-sensitive equipment. This kind of equipment was found in multiple ces.


    Moreover, hidden cameras were scattered everywhere nearby. If Xiang Yu had approached any closer earlier, he might have been discovered.


    He suddenly became worried that if Wang Qian and the others ventured in recklessly, they would trigger these devices.


    Thinking of this, he quickly took out his phone and put it in his backpack to send Wang Qian a message.


    “There are surveince devices ahead; it’s best not to proceed carelessly. It’s very dangerous.” Xiang Yu sent the message and then put the phone away.


    He had fulfilled his duty as a friend; whether they would heed his warning was beyond his concern.


    The distance to the uing mountain was still far, yet the opposition had installed such advanced surveince equipment here. This clearly indicated their high alertness.


    Moreover, heat-sensitive and ultraviolet monitoring devices are hard to obtain, which further suggests the secret ahead had some military connection.


    Xiang Yu hesitated, pondering whether the ce ahead was a secret government base.


    If that were the case, advancing recklessly would be tantamount to stealing state secrets, which was a real possibility.


    However, what puzzled him was why they were capturing strong individuals, and he suddenly thought of Jin Feng and Mi Hui.


    The two had escaped from there, and judging by their terrified demeanor, the ce seemed akin to hell.


    With these thoughts, Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Even if the ce ahead was a secret government base, he would dare to venture it today.


    Just as Xiang Yu prepared to sneak in, his phone suddenly vibrated.


    Xiang Yu took it out to see a message from Wang Qian: Be careful; don’t worry about us.


    Xiang Yu knew sending Wang Qian a message was futile, as she couldn’t decide precisely where to go.


    Thinking of that fool Wu Qilong, Xiang Yu felt worried, but he couldn’t focus on that now.


    He set his phone to silent mode and began putting on his sses and started moving out.


    With surveince devices everywhere along the way, he had to be extremely cautious. He was very grateful to Gao Mantang right now.


    Gao Mantang had provided him these devices, which were the most advanced in the military, equipment Xiang Yu had never seen before.


    It could detect anything with energy, including animals and power sources. Without these sses, Xiang Yu couldn’t possibly avoid all the equipment even if he were more careful.


    It was no wonder they were discovered so quickly during their initial visit.


    Xiang Yu carefully observed his surroundings while skillfully evading all equipment.


    At this moment, he noticed a light source underground. He was puzzled; what kind of animal was it, round and plump, not like a turtle because there was no water here.


    Without much thought, Xiang Yu kicked at it, but as he did, he could only smile wryly and shake his head.


    This feeling was too familiar to him, leaving a deep impression. Years ago, while on a mission abroad, he had stepped on a simr device and panicked, thinking his life would end—until the captain arrived to save him.


    Having stepped on it again now, Xiang Yu was less panicked. He carefully unearthed the surrounding soil, revealing a circr metallic casing—andmine.


    This was a conventionalndmine, without anyplexities; if Xiang Yu lifted his foot, it would explode.


    Although the explosive power wasn’t considerable, Xiang Yu was confident he could evade the st. But if it detonated, he would be exposed.


    Taking out his dagger, he began gingerly prying it open bit by bit…
