As the man reached the eastern corner of the Base, a watchman stood atop a prominent boulder, which was the highest lookout point in the entire Base. The pirate guarding this post noticed the man approaching and immediately stood up, saying, "Hey! Is it your turn to patrol tonight, Fourth Brother? Aren't those guys from Grass Flower Head supposed to be on duty?"
"Oh! You still don't know about those guys from Grass Flower Head? Damn it! They can't move their legs when they see a woman! Those new voluptuous bunny girls from Money Pit have completely captivated them! I bet they're sprawled out on their beds right now, unable to move!" Chen Si emerged from the shadows and quickly climbed up the boulder.
The pirate guarding the boulder was taken aback and then said, "Fourth Brother, what are you doing up here? The sea breeze at night is really cold!"
"It's nothing! I'm just checking on the camp for Grass Flower Head. Here! Catch!" A rectangular paper box was tossed down.
Catching the box, the black pirate grinned and said, "Fourth Brother knows how to treat us! You Easterners are definitely better than the white folks. Even among pirates, those guys don't treat us like brothers!" The black pirate opened the box and pulled out a cigarette, while Chen Si had already climbed up onto the boulder. With a flick of his lighter, he ignited his cigarette.
The black pirate was clearly an old smoker; he took a deep drag and exhaled a long plume of smoke. Meanwhile, Chen Si picked up a night vision telescope to survey the area. After checking the time, he looked at the still-smoking man and asked, "Burt! Why did you become a pirate?"
"Me?" The black man pondered with his cigarette in hand before setting his submachine gun aside. "Probably because I'm poor! My home is in a country in South Africa, and I have six kids! You know? Each one is a little tiger! Even that Fourth Girl of mine is stronger than most boys from other families. But we have no land, no food; it's a poor country with an oppressive government. You know? Old Six was literally starved to death!"
Hearing this, Chen Si asked, "So you joined the pirates?"
"Yeah! That's why I joined the pirates. I left my hometown with five kids and a box of ashes. To survive, our family has eaten dirt cakes. Eventually, I met Poison Shark Boss; he helped my kids get citizenship in other countries. In these two years, I've earned enough for them to grow up!" Burt gazed at the starry sky and finished his last puff of smoke before grabbing his submachine gun and standing up.
"Fourth Brother! Here!" Burt handed back the remaining cigarette to Chen Si, who stuffed it into Burt's pocket and said, "Consider this my gift to you as an apology!"
"Apology? What do you mean?" Just then, Burt's eyes widened as he spotted two figures sliding down from the mountainside outside the camp. He quickly raised his submachine gun to shoot; although this camp wasn't large, firing would definitely attract attention.
"Fourth Brother, sound the alarm!" Burt aimed his gun, but suddenly strong hands clamped down on his trigger finger. Burt looked at Chen Si in shock as Chen Si said, "Your story just saved your life!" With that, he delivered a powerful slap to Burt's neck, causing him to faint instantly with a look of confusion in his eyes.
"You may have your reasons for doing what you do, but harming others for your own benefit is never the Righteous Path!" With that, Chen Si took out a flashlight and flashed it several times at two figures hiding behind a wall.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng saw the light shining nearby and recognized it as a signal: three short flashes followed by three long ones and then three short ones again. Without hesitation, Xiao Yefeng stepped out and signaled back with his flashlight.
Seeing Xiao Yefeng's signal from atop the boulder, Chen Si clenched his fists tightly in excitement and thought: They're here! I'm going home! The mission is over!
Swish, swish, swish. Chen Si flipped over and landed on the ground. Unlike Xiao Yefeng, Chen Si took the main road and after passing through four or five intersections, he arrived at the corner where Xiao Yefeng was located. Upon seeing Xiao Yefeng, Chen Si spoke up, "Where is the country? Where is home?"
"Hua Xia thrives, and peace settles!" Xiao Yefeng replied in kind. Hearing Xiao Yefeng's words, Chen Si immediately lowered his guard and led the two of them through a series of twists and turns until they reached an empty earthen house with a damaged wall on the right side. After checking the surroundings, Chen Si said, "You are the advance team sent by Commander? Just the two of you?"
"Yes! We are responsible for scouting according to the coordinates you provided, guiding the subsequent warships. Given the time, the warships should be approaching here soon. Do you know where the captured individuals are?"
At this moment, Liu Yiyi looked at Chen Si with excitement because it involved Liu Qing and his wife. Chen Si nodded and said, "No need for 'big brother' titles. My surname is Chen; here everyone calls me Chen Si. Come! Look, this is the map of this camp!" With that, Chen Si pulled out a map from his chest pocket and spread it out on the ground in front of them.
The map was detailed, clearly marking all Bright Sentinels and hidden sentries. Chen Si explained to them where everyone was trapped while also detailing the current situation within the base as well as the strength and data of the Gene Warriors.
Looking at the map, Xiao Yefeng nodded and said, "Brother Chen! According to your information, all captured individuals are here, but we are diagonally opposite! The straight-line distance is about four hundred meters, with ten sentries in between. Moreover, according to your information, there are at least three Gene Warriors among those ten sentry posts. The level of defense here is formidable; how can we rescue everyone without making any noise?"
At this point, Chen Si scratched his head and said, "That's exactly why I was surprised that there were only two of you. I thought the advance team would have at least a squad of members—at least seven people—so we could act simultaneously. I didn't expect it to be just you two!"
"Then there's no other way. Brother Chen, let's work together to silently eliminate them! With your identity as cover, we can take down one Bright Sentinel with two people and one hidden sentry each; working together we should be able to clear these ten posts quickly!" Xiao Yefeng suggested.
Chen Si replied, "No! Near the holding area, four sentries are almost clustered together. Even if this lady joins in, one will inevitably be missed, and all four posts have Gene Warriors present!"
At that moment, Liu Yiyi said confidently, "Don't worry! I have my own abilities." With that, she thrust an ice spear directly into the wall. Seeing this, Chen Si was astonished and said, "You are a Feng Shui Techniques master? That makes things easier; let's go!"
With that, Chen Si took the lead while Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi followed closely behind him. However, Xiao Yefeng kept glancing at Liu Yiyi; she had the ability to kill within ten steps but could she really take action? This wasn't like swatting flies or mosquitoes; could Liu Yiyi truly do it?
But at that moment, any doubts were pointless as the three moved forward. Suddenly, Chen Si halted his steps and whispered urgently, "Not good! Something has changed; an unexpected situation has arisen!"
With that, Chen Si strode forward to stand by the first Bright Sentinel and patted a tall thin man who had his back turned to them. "Venomous Fangs! Why are you here again? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the granary tonight?"
Startled by Chen Si's sudden appearance behind him, Venomous Fangs shivered and turned around saying awkwardly, "Uh... I came to find a knife to chat about things... right?" He then patted the man beside him.
The person nodded in response, and at that moment, Chen Si said, "Stop with the nonsense. Are you trying to fool me again? Get lost! Otherwise, I'll report you to Shark Killer's boss, and we'll see how you manage to stand your ground!"
Venomous Fangs was already considering another route when he realized he was at a disadvantage and was about to turn to leave. However, he caught an unintended glimpse of the two people behind Chen Si. Despite the darkness, Liu Yiyi's ample figure could not be concealed. There were no women among the pirates; all the women were in Money Pit. Who was this woman dressed in combat gear?
"Wait a minute! You there, the short one! Come here! How come I've never seen you before?" Although Venomous Fangs had recognized Liu Yiyi as a woman, he didn't dare offend Chen Si, so he could only start with basic inquiries.
At that moment, Liu Yiyi secretly glanced at Xiao Yefeng beside her. Both Xiao Yefeng and Chen Si moved simultaneously; Chen Si approached Bright Sentinel while Xiao Yefeng walked toward Venomous Fangs. Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Yefeng said, "Big brother! What do you think of this guy?"
Before he could finish, two muffled grunts sounded. Chen Si struck first, drawing two daggers from behind his back. With one dagger in each hand, he swiftly slashed across the throats of both men. To avoid drawing attention with the sound of their bodies hitting the ground, Chen Si flipped the daggers and pulled on their clothes to let their corpses fall flat on the ground. At that moment, Venomous Fangs was unaware of what had happened behind him. Seeing Xiao Yefeng approaching, Venomous Fangs swung his hand to slap him away.
However, Xiao Yefeng quickly grabbed Venomous Fangs' wrist. Venomous Fangs was taken aback; there were not many people on this island who could catch someone as fast as him. It wasn't that Venomous Fangs was weak; rather, his genes had been altered by snake DNA, which had significantly increased his speed. Only a few individuals who had received the Enhanced Gene Serum could easily catch him.
For instance, there was Chen Si behind him. But who was this stranger? At that moment, Venomous Fangs tried to break free from Xiao Yefeng's grip but found it impossible. "Who are you two? What about that woman—uh..."
Before he could finish his sentence, two drops of crimson blood flowed from Venomous Fangs' throat. A red mark appeared on his Adam's apple, resembling a mole but gradually growing larger as blood dripped down. Venomous Fangs never expected that he, a fortunate survivor under the Gene Serum's influence, would be eliminated in an instant.
Meanwhile, gently supporting Venomous Fangs as he lay in a dark corner, Xiao Yefeng said, "She! She is my girlfriend!"
Venomous Fangs' eyes widened in disbelief and resentment. However, the Flying Needle embedded in his throat revealed everything. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng skillfully manipulated Zhao Yin Gate without needing to suspend it above his head anymore. With a lock of his fingers, Venomous Fangs' spirit was thrown directly into Zhao Yin Gate on the Spirit Platform. Xiao Yefeng's vast amount of Yin Sin increased once more but then decreased by one segment shortly after!
