The entire room fell silent, leaving only that cryptic statement echoing in everyone's minds.
The sound outside the door made everyone hold their breath instantly. Ayao's sudden appearance, and the important clue she mentioned, undoubtedly added a layer of uncertainty to this crisis.
"It's Ayao... Open the door quickly!" Zhao De said to Old Li immediately, his tone urgent. At the same time, her eyes were fixed on the door, as if hoping to glean more information from it.
With a creak, the warehouse door was gently pushed open again, revealing a woman with a resolute face and sharp eyes—Ayao, another key member of the team.

Behind her followed several new faces with solemn expressions but firm steps, who seemed to have just come from a difficult journey. "Time is running out, so let's get straight to the point." Ayao quickly glanced at everyone present and then began to explain, "We tracked down these newcomers and discovered a startling fact: these enemies do not belong to any known small group, but... come from a much farther place."
Xiao Liu's eyes widened suddenly. "What does this mean? How is this possible! Could it be that some large organization has its eyes on this place?" He couldn't help but interrupt the other person. The people around were also shocked by this news and whispered among themselves.
“The exact situation still needs to be verified,” Ayao replied, but she did not go into further details. “However, what is certain is that they have a very powerful leader behind them. We need to leave here immediately and change all the course of action in the plan.”
Han Lin took a step forward, his eyes burning with anger and resentment: "We can't let them get away with all that! We have to teach these lawless bastards a lesson!"
Zhao De nodded in agreement: "Indeed, we need to show them our true strength to ensure our own safe retreat. However, the most important thing now is to evacuate first. We can consider the next step of the counterattack once we reach a relatively safe place." She turned to Zhao De, "Old Zhao, are the emergency routes you arranged still in effect? Do we need to make any adjustments?"
"Based on the current situation, at least two additional detour nodes will be needed to avoid potentially risky areas. As for the final destination, it remains the same, so please feel free to follow along," the latter quickly replied, clearly indicating that everything was prepared.
Just as everyone was busy with the final arrangements, a faint but heart-pounding sound came from outside the warehouse...
A young soldier who was on duty at the door suddenly ran in and reported, "There are a lot more footsteps outside. It's probably enemy reinforcements arriving!"
"More reinforcements have arrived so quickly?" Many people in the crowd looked worried. "Have we been discovered? What should we do next?"
"Don't panic! Everyone just follow orders step by step, and absolutely do not lose your composure!" Han Lin shouted loudly, trying to stabilize morale. "No matter what unexpected situation arises, remember that unity is the source of strength! As long as we work together, we will definitely get through this!"
Just as the situation was gradually calming down, an inconspicuous voice quietly asked: "Hey, Lao Liu, look how amazing they are. Just how strong is Sister Qing?"
The other middle-aged man smiled upon hearing this, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: Strong? Very strong! Not to mention ordinary people like us, even many well-trained professional soldiers might not be a match for Miss Qing... But today's matter seems much more complicated than usual. Do you think... Sister Qing and the others can really get us out of here this time?
"Shh~ Don't say such discouraging things," the young man whispered to his companion, "Anyway, I believe in Sister Qing and the others, they'll definitely be fine!"
At that moment, Zhao De happened to be standing nearby and overheard the conversation. She coughed lightly to draw attention, then faced the crowd again: "Thank you all for your support and trust. As long as we rely on each other, no difficulty is insurmountable. Whatever awaits us ahead, remember to hold onto your faith and face it bravely!"

Then, she turned to Ayao and the others who were busy coordinating manpower and resources to continue discussing a more specific implementation plan.
That said, Yao, how did you know so much information? Are there any risks we haven't yet noticed?
After a moment of silence, Ayao replied: "Actually, before this operation, we had already noticed several suspicious individuals frequently entering and leaving this area... but we didn't expect things to develop so rapidly... But don't worry, I will provide as much information as possible to help with decision-making regarding the follow-up action plan."
Just then, an unusual aura wafted from afar, as if some kind of danger was slowly approaching...
Zhao De frowned slightly, looking out the window at the gradually descending night. A premonition told her that the real test might have only just begun...
The atmosphere inside the warehouse suddenly became more tense, and everyone realized that what was about to happen was far more complicated than they had imagined. While Ayao's sudden return brought a glimmer of hope, the arrival of the enemy only increased their unease.
Just as everyone was making preparations for the evacuation, a young soldier rushed up to Zhao De, his voice trembling slightly: "Sister Qing, I just received news from the front lines... those people have already started their operation!"
Zhao De remained calm throughout. "Proceed according to the original plan and speed things up. Everyone must assemble immediately; we must complete the transfer in the shortest possible time!" As she spoke, her eyes never left the outside, as if she were anticipating all the challenges to come through subtle changes in her voice.
Just then, a commotion of footsteps and voices came from outside the warehouse. "Damn it, what's going on? This place should have been completely sealed off by now," Old Li muttered under his breath, frowning.
“It seems we underestimated our opponent’s capabilities,” Old Zhao, standing to the side, shook his head and sighed. “Fortunately, we made preparations in advance.”
Upon hearing this, the people present couldn't help but exchange glances—some were amazed by the other's strength, while others felt a touch of unease about the uncertainty of the future. The newcomers, in particular, were filled with curiosity and doubt.
"Do you think these enemy leaders might be one of the legendary 'Nightwalkers'?" a young soldier couldn't help but ask his experienced companion.
"Nightcrawler? You don't actually think that's just a legend, do you?" The other person chuckled and patted his shoulder. "But regardless, this situation is clearly more bizarre and thrilling than any story..."
Just as the two were engrossed in their conversation, Zhao De suddenly interrupted them: "This is not the time for idle chatter, everyone please concentrate! We need to complete this relocation as soon as possible!"
Han Lin nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. As long as we are united, there is no problem that cannot be solved." His eyes shone brightly as he said this, conveying a strong sense of conviction to the others.
At this moment, Zhao De spoke again to confirm: "The emergency evacuation routes have all been adjusted. You can follow me."
Just as everyone was moving towards the door, the young man who had initially issued the warning suddenly stopped. "Wait, I think I forgot to check the package I hid earlier... there's something very important inside."

Chapter 934 A Fierce Attack
His words instantly alerted those around him. Zhao De spoke without hesitation, "Then go and get it back quickly. But we have to leave immediately; we can't waste any more time!"
Watching the young man quickly disappear from sight and then return, carrying a small bag, she thought, "Thank goodness, this is a crucial item that determines the success or failure of the entire operation."
Just as the group was about to leave the warehouse, Ayao took one last look at the empty space around them. "This place holds many memories. I hope that one day we can return safely again."
However, just as she fell into a brief moment of contemplation, a cold wind blew into the room, as if some inexplicable force was gathering there...
Suddenly, a loud and slightly provocative shout rang out from outside, "Hey, I didn't expect to have a chance to catch a big fish already..."
At the same time, more footsteps approached from afar, sounding menacing. Clearly, this time the enemy had no intention of easily letting these individuals attempting to escape their control escape.
Faced with the sudden threat, Zhao De remained calm: "Everyone, prepare for battle!" Then she turned to A Yao, her voice gentle yet firm: "No matter what happens, remember to protect our hope."
Ayao nodded, her eyes shining with determination. She knew that everyone in this team had their own responsibilities and missions.
The sounds outside grew closer, as if they would burst into the warehouse at any moment. The team was already prepared according to the emergency evacuation route, each person gripping their weapon tightly. The young soldier, clutching the crucial package, followed closely behind Zhao De. At this moment, he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Hopefully, we won't run into some really powerful figure this time."
"Don't say anything unlucky," an older officer standing nearby reminded them. "We have Sister Qing, and so many well-trained soldiers, what are we afraid of?"
Just then, a beam of bright light shone through the crack in the warehouse door. Zhao De waved his hand lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet and wait. Immediately afterward, a deep but intimidating voice came from outside: "I know what good stuff you're hiding in there. Come out now. Hiding like this isn't very nice!"
"How arrogant..." a new little sister muttered through gritted teeth, but was quietly pinched on the arm by the older sister next to her, signaling her to restrain herself.
Just as everyone was on edge, Han Lin suddenly stepped forward and shouted back through the crack in the door, "Friend, have you come to the wrong place? We don't have anything here!"
These words immediately caused a stir among those present. Even seasoned veterans who had seen it all were moved by these seemingly provocative yet actually probing remarks, and couldn't help but reveal admiring glances.
Sure enough, the other party seemed to have been provoked by those words. "Hmph, since that's the case, let me see—" Before the words were finished, "Bang!" The heavy iron door of the warehouse was violently slammed open. Accompanied by billowing dust and blinding light, several agile unidentified individuals dressed in black night clothes quickly rushed into the warehouse...

Chapter 935 An Unexpected Direction
Zhao De's sharp, piercing gaze swept over the uninvited guests. "Who are you all?" she asked coldly, showing no sign of weakness. "We don't want any conflict with anyone, but to protect everything here, we won't back down an inch if necessary!"
At this moment, one of the men in black slowly stepped forward, his face hidden behind a mask. "Heh, how interesting." The man let out a contemptuous and hoarse laugh. "We've come to find something, which I believe will benefit both of us. As for what you want to protect—don't worry, as long as we cooperate properly, it won't be harmed."
"Hearing him say that feels a bit strange..." Han Lin whispered to Zhao De. "But it seems they really don't have good intentions."
Faced with this strange and hostile situation, Zhao De did not rush to conclusions, but continued to calmly analyze the situation.
She exchanged a complicated look with her comrades, then turned back to the mysterious figures and asked, "Could you tell us what kind of item we need to find? Perhaps we can help solve this problem?"
"Oh, surprisingly easy to negotiate." The leader of the men in black smiled slightly, a hint of surprise in his expression. "It's simple, just hand over that thing that's supposedly capable of changing the course of the battle."
As this seemingly simple yet profound statement was uttered, a brief but oppressive silence fell over the room... Everyone knew that the crucial moment that would truly determine the future had finally arrived.
However, no one expected that in such a tense situation, A-Yao, who had remained silent and was almost forgotten, would suddenly raise her hand and throw a small but potentially dangerous grenade in an unexpected direction...
Ayao's movements were swift and decisive; the grenade traced a perfect arc, its faint glow gleaming in the dim warehouse. Almost instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to this sudden action.
"careful!"
Zhao De reacted with lightning speed, almost reflexively lunging forward to try and push A Yao away, but it was too late. With a deafening roar, the entire warehouse seemed to shake as if an earthquake had struck, billowing smoke mixed with dust and rubble flying out, and a pungent smell instantly filled everyone's nostrils.
The men in black were thrown into disarray by this unexpected turn of events, their previously orderly demeanor now chaotic. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao De shouted, "Everyone, proceed according to plan immediately! Disperse and evacuate! Han Lin, Zhao De, you two are responsible for protecting the core items!" His voice was resolute and unwavering.
In the chaos, a passing vendor witnessed this spectacular scene. "Good heavens! What's going on? I just passed by and saw such a huge mess..." His eyes widened like saucers, "It's terrifying!"
In the alleyway on the other side, two young people chatting were also startled by the sudden explosion. "Oh my god! Was that a bomb?" one of the young men, wearing a school uniform, said, clutching his chest, still shaken. "Who's so crazy, daring to cause trouble here?" his companion exclaimed, shaking his head.

The warehouse was still filled with smoke, but everyone was already retreating in an orderly manner. Despite the chaos, no one stopped; everyone seemed to be playing a race against time with their lives.
“Wait,” Zhao De, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around and said to A Yao, who was following closely behind, “Why are you doing this? Do you know how dangerous it is?”
“I know,” Ayao replied calmly, her eyes filled with an unprecedented determination. “But I can’t just stand by and watch them take away our hope. Even if there’s only a one percent chance of stopping it all, I’m not willing to give up trying.”
After listening to her words, Zhao De remained silent for a while, then patted A Yao's shoulder hard: "Well done, kid."
Meanwhile, the men in black chasing them on another path were clearly annoyed by the scene. "These guys are pretty tough to deal with," the youngest of them complained, panting. "I can't believe we managed to escape like this, really..."
Just then, the urgent blaring of an alarm suddenly came from afar. Clearly, the commotion was starting to attract attention. Zhao De secretly rejoiced: thankfully, he had arranged for an emergency distress signal to trigger police intervention; this way, regardless of the outcome, at least he had bought the team valuable time.
"It seems our mission for today has to come to an end." The leader finally instructed his men to begin the retreat via radio headset. "But I believe we'll have the chance to meet again soon, friends."
As night fell, several rapidly moving figures gradually disappeared into the depths of the city...
As everything returned to calm, only the ravaged warehouse and the occasional barking of dogs broke the silence of the night. At that very moment, in a convenience store not far away, several customers were discussing something animatedly.
What exactly happened over there? It felt like a war had broken out.
Sigh, this kind of thing is common nowadays. It's just a pity about so much merchandise; the shop owner is probably devastated!
