Late at night on the planet Edher, a spaceship disguised as a commercial cargo ship quietly burrowed into the atmosphere and slowly landed in an uninhabited mountainous area without alarming the Imperial Army's anti-aircraft fire network.

"Phew, Lao Tzu is finally back again!" Stepping on the planet Eder again, Haoyi couldn't help but look up at the starry sky in the middle of the night and let out a long sigh.

I still remember that when Zuihou left Edel Planet once, Haoyi almost died in the hands of Lin Bin. It was also that time, when he was accidentally attacked by an armored unit in the Fifth War Zone at that time, Haoyi's parents were buried in the flames of war, which made Haoyi hate for life. Eder is his hometown, where he has a lot of happy memories and too many lingering glooms.

"Lin Bin! One day, Lao Tzu will let you pay back your blood debt! The hatred in the depths of his memory was unexpectedly awakened, and a trace of cold light flashed in Haoyi's eyes, which made George, who was about to come over and report something to him, couldn't help but stagnate, and his pretty face changed color slightly.

"What's wrong, George? Is there a situation? Haoyi, who came back to his senses, his face softened, and he asked lightly.

"The agent in charge of picking us up is late!" George frowned and reported in a low voice.

"Oh? Didn't get in touch with them? Haoyi's heart jumped slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Can't be reached!" George shook his head and said as if to himself: "It's strange, we contacted them once before landing, but as soon as we landed, the other party didn't even respond at all!" ”

"They know the exact location coordinates of the landing site?" An uneasy premonition crept up into Hao Yi's heart, and his face couldn't help but sink.

"Know! However, the last time I came to Eder, they were late once! At that time, they encountered an unexpected situation, that is, they accidentally intercepted the news that the Imperial Army's Military Justice Department was about to secretly execute Li Hua! I just don't know what kind of unexpected situation they encountered again this time! ”

Although he could hear the vigilance in Haoyi's tone, out of trust in his subordinates, George tried to find a reason to convince himself.

"Eldest sister, leave the two team members in place, and the others are ready to leave here immediately!" Regarding George's explanation, Hao Yi was noncommittal, and turned his head to Dalena beside him and whispered a command.

"Understood!" Adhering to Dalena, who had always been cold and cold, she turned around and arranged for her subordinates to act with a few words.

"Electronic telescopes!" Squinting his eyes and sweeping around the silent mountains and forests, Hao Yi stretched out his hand and said a deep word, which made George, who had not yet come back to his senses, busy for a while, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to find a pair of binoculars and hurriedly handed them over.

Turn on the night vision mode of the telescope and take a closer look at the surrounding shadowy mountains and forests, Haoyi did not find anything suspicious, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, handed the telescope back to George without saying a word, and walked towards a hillside with his feet raised. It was the vantage point, and the line of sight was large enough to cover all areas within a five-kilometer radius.

After a period of hurried busyness, except for the two poppy flower team members who stayed in place, the others quietly climbed up the hill with their equipment and followed Haoyi.

"Let your sisters keep their eyes open and be on guard, and after half an hour, if the responding agents haven't arrived, evacuate all of them immediately!" Looking back at the spaceship that landed in the valley, Haoyi frowned and said to Dalena in a deep voice.

"Hum ......" Haoyi's voice fell, and a low engine roar suddenly came from a locomotive avenue adjacent to the valley. The well-trained members of the Poppy Flower team instinctively rushed towards all the nearby places where they could hide, leaving only Haoyi, George, Dalena, and Li Hua, who looked dazed and a little sleepy-eyed, to pestle in place.

"Let's see, if it's a subordinate who has come to answer it!" Haoyi said to George calmly.

"There are four off-road locomotives, and the model numbers are all right, yes, they are here to pick up our team members! These idiots, how do you always like to be late! Raising the electronic telescope and observing it carefully for a moment, George was slightly relieved, but his face was full of anger.

"Big sister......" Haoyi ignored George, who was a little excited, and wanted to say something to Dalena when he turned around.

"Understood!" Dalena didn't wait for Haoyi to finish speaking, so she nodded and interrupted, and then shouted in a low voice with the miniature intercom on her body: "Zizhu, Yulan, follow me!" Others stay put! ”

After saying that, Dalena walked down the hillside quickly, and two figures jumped out of the dark mountain forest on both sides, and caught up with Dalena in three or two. The three of them formed a triangular formation commonly used by special combat personnel, and disappeared into the mountains and forests on the side of the locomotive avenue before the locomotives roared.

"Crunch......" A piercing sound of sudden braking penetrated into the ears of Hao Yi and others, and the locomotives seemed to have encountered some unexpected situation, and suddenly stopped in the mountain forest where Dalena and the three of them were lurking. Immediately afterward, a figure quickly approached the first locomotive, seemingly whispering something to the people on board.

"It's been confirmed, it's our people!" A moment later, Haoyi's miniature headset heard Dalena's muffled report.

"Good! Stay in place! Haoyi replied lightly, and led George Li Hua to walk towards the locomotive lane in the distance. At the same time, the other poppy flower team members who were originally lurking in the mountains and forests on both sides also jumped out one after another, closely guarding Hao Yi left and right and quickly descending the hillside.

After approaching, through the dim moonlight, Haoyi saw several young men in black tights standing next to the locomotive with Dalena. The leader is a delicate-looking woman. Seeing Haoyi and his party walking from afar, the woman hurriedly greeted her and greeted her apologetically: "Uncle, minister, I'm sorry, my subordinates are late!" ”

"Li Shaya? How did you manage to drag your feet every time you acted? As an intelligence agent and head of a branch, how come you don't even have the slightest sense of time? "That woman is none other than Saint Prory's head of the intelligence bureau in Eder, Saya Li.

"Your Excellency, please listen to your subordinates!" Hearing the sharp scolding of her boss, Li Shaya's face turned slightly red, trying to justify herself.

"Explain? Hmph, this isn't the first time you've been late, and do you know what, I'm disappointed in you! If it weren't for ......" George didn't like his people in the first place, and he always had to find a reason to excuse himself. Seeing that although Li Shaya was ashamed, she still wanted to defend herself, George's face couldn't help but be gloomy.

"Listen to her!" However, just as George was about to reprimand Li Shaya fiercely, Hao Yi on the side waved his hand and interrupted coldly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he quietly looked Li Shaya up and down.

"Thank you uncle, thank you minister!" Li Shaya immediately thanked her, and Zhengse hurriedly reported.

Li Shaya said that when the spaceship in which Haoyi and others were riding had just arrived in Eder, the branch base not far from Wuji Palace was suddenly attacked by a group of unidentified armed men. After a short and fierce battle, Li Shaya hurriedly broke out with a few capable core team members and hid in a spare base. Although there was no definite evidence in hand, Li Shaya judged that the group of armed personnel was most likely a special combat team of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Security of the Riyan Empire specially used to deal with enemy agents.

"Those people are well-trained and well-equipped, and judging from their tactical coordination and accurate marksmanship, those people are definitely some special operations elite! Although our special attackers are not weak, we still can't withstand the opponent's ferocious attack! During the breakout, most of the team members of the branch base died in the line of duty......"

When she said this, Li Shaya's expression was gloomy, and her originally bright eyes were slightly red, with a look of guilt and self-blame, and others couldn't help but feel compassion.

"It's all because of my poor command, I didn't even realize in advance that the other party had found the location of our branch base, and let so many excellent agents die unjustly in ......"

"Alright, stop crying!" Li Shaya's drooping appearance did not impress Hao Yi. Although she kept saying that she had escaped from the fierce gunfight with the other party, Hao Yi, who had been on the battlefield for many years, found a detail that was difficult for ordinary people to notice. That is, Li Shaya and others did not have the slightest smell of gunsmoke. However, although he found this clue, Haoyi didn't want to expose her immediately, but waved his hand a little annoyed to interrupt Li Shaya's crying.

"......" Haoyi's categorical interruption made Li Shaya stunned, and when she looked up, a faint panic flashed in her eyes.

"You said you escaped from a sudden encounter with each other, so where did you get these off-road bikes! Well, it looks like these locomotives are pretty new! The panic in Li Shaya's eyes was captured by Hao Yi again. Secretly sneering, Hao Yi asked quietly.

"It's such an uncle! After the subordinates and others successfully escaped and escaped from the other party's tracking, they found another backup base! These locomotives are what we have sealed in the backup base for emergency use! Li Shaya hurriedly explained.

"It's the same thing!" Hao Yi smiled coldly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, then let's visit your backup base first!" In this wilderness, if you can't keep it, some alien beasts will come out of it! ”

Although Li Shaya's reasons seemed impeccable, Hao Yi still caught something extremely subtle in her twinkling eyes.

"Yes! Uncle, minister, please get in the car! Li Shaya was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly turned sideways.

"George, you and Li Hua are in the first car with this Agent Li! Sister, let's sit in the back! Haoyi turned around and gave a faint order, and then took the lead towards the second locomotive.

"After this mission is completed, I must see your review report!" The night was dim, and George naturally couldn't clearly capture Li Shaya's flickering eyes like Hao Yi, but simply heard something wrong from Hao Yi's tone. However, George took it for granted that Haoyi was a little dissatisfied with his subordinate's unpunctuality, so he didn't think much about it, coldly left a sentence, and jumped on the first locomotive driven by Li Shaya himself.

......After a while, the four locomotives loaded with Haoyi and the others and Dalena's poppy flowers turned around and whistled in the direction of Wuji Palace.

Hao Yi, who was sitting in the back seat of the second locomotive, looked coldly at Li Shaya's agent in the front row, and suddenly pulled Dalena's white palm beside him while the man was concentrating on driving.

Dalena's heart jumped slightly by Haoyi's abrupt and ambiguous behavior, but her face immediately turned gloomy.

It turned out that after Haoyi pulled her palm, he wrote a few words in her palm with his fingers.

"Beware of deception!"
