When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 286 Exclusion!

Xu Ge immediately recalled what Guo Yuanshuai had told him earlier; it seemed that Thor probably knew about the traitor.

Does his question about the safe house mean he suspects Lao Li?
But Old Li replied, "No, I found the safe house on my first day here. It's never been used. Only I know about it. Even Xiao Zhang doesn't know where it is!"

Xiao Zhang is another field worker.

Thor didn't continue the topic. After asking Old Lee how to get there, he ordered everyone to change into the civilian clothes they had prepared in advance, and to pack all their weapons and equipment into their travel bags.

Around six o'clock in the morning, as dawn broke, the group descended to the foot of the mountain and officially entered the territory of Stan.

A minibus was parked beside the dirt road, which was exactly what Lao Li had prepared in advance.

"Where to go now?"

After everyone got into the car, Old Li looked back at Thor from the driver's seat and asked, "Should we go straight to the safe house or meet up with 619 and the others first?"

Thor: "Go find 619 first."

Old Li looked somewhat excited, because Thor's attitude indicated that the operation would not be canceled because of the appearance of SSG.

This is certainly something to be happy about for them in the field, since all their previous efforts will not have been in vain.

Along the way, Lao Li began to tell the team members about the situation in Baisha Village.

“We haven’t been inside the village yet. We can only observe it from the outside using high-powered binoculars. The village has its own armed force, and they strictly control everyone who goes in. People like us are the ones who get checked.”

Old Li said, "Several trucks come to deliver supplies every Sunday afternoon, and the people inside also go out once in the morning and once in the afternoon."

Thor asked, "You mean, White Sand Village isn't completely off-limits to outsiders?"

"Most of them came to purchase weapons. In their eyes, these people were all bosses, so they were naturally allowed in."

Old Li thought for a moment, "Besides that, there are only the drivers who came to deliver supplies. I haven't found anyone else. This place is very remote, and ordinary people can't find it."

"Aren't there any risks involved in driving there like this?"

“I’m taking a back road, so we won’t encounter anyone at this time. You can get off the bus and go into the mountains beforehand, and I’ll drive the car back to town.”

"Is the safe house in town?"

"Correct!"

"Row."

After bumping along the dirt road for about half an hour, the surrounding vegetation became denser, and the temperature clearly rose considerably.

Old Li stepped on the brakes and pointed to the hills ahead, saying, "The three of them are hiding behind there. There's a border checkpoint ahead. I'll drive back first by myself. You guys follow Xiao Zhang; he knows how to take a detour to town."

"it is good!"

Thor waved his hand, and the team members quickly got out of the car and went into the mountains. In less than ten minutes, they found the three people lying in the bushes.

The three were dressed like locals, and another field worker, Xiao Zhang, even wore a headscarf and had his face painted black.

"Mouse, did you bring the mini drone?" 619 asked as soon as the team members arrived.

Wu Xiaoyong nodded: "I brought it, but I didn't bring the smart system. Only my screen can display the image."

"It's alright, let them out quickly. A group of people came to search the mountain earlier, let's see if they've left!"

"understand!"

Wu Xiaoyong immediately began operating the equipment, while handing a large bag to 619, saying, "This is your equipment."

The clip asked, "Where's mine?"

Ao Xiang took down the large bag: "It's with me!"

At this point, the entire Hidden Wolf attack team was present.

After 619 and Jiazi finished putting on their gear, Wu Xiaoyong also confirmed the surrounding situation: "Nobody's here, it's safe!"

Thor made a hand gesture, and the eight people immediately formed a circle around him.

Thor asked, "Are you sure it's the SSG?"

“AWP, M4, MP5A2, PK-9, these are their standard equipment, and these people have very high tactical skills, there’s no mistake!” 619 said in a deep voice.

"How many people came?"

"I estimate it's a company!"

Xu Ge was unaware of the organizational structure in Stan Country and glanced at 619 with a puzzled look. 619 explained, "Around 30 people."

Thor frowned: "So many people usually stay in the village all the time?"

Jiazi nodded: "This place is already remote. We've searched everywhere around here except the village, including the town. There's nowhere to hide."

Xiao Zhang chimed in, "From the moment they discovered the anomaly to when they arrived at the stronghold last night, less than 20 minutes had passed. These people definitely didn't come from the capital!"

Xu Ge looked at Xiao Zhang: "Where was your temporary base originally?"

Xiao Zhang didn't answer, but looked at Thor and asked, "You guys have a new guy?"

"Well, the new team member is Goubao, and the other one is Shepherd Dog." Thor then introduced Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei.

619 and the clip both nodded to Wan Xiaofei.

Xiao Zhang looked at Xu Ge and said, "I can tell you're not very old, and you probably haven't been in the army for many years. You need to know the rules now that you're in Hidden Wolf. It's best if your team leader doesn't interrupt when he's gathering information!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
Not only Xu Ge, but everyone else also looked at Xiao Zhang with strange eyes. This field agent is meddling in a lot of things!

Xu Ge first looked at Xiao Zhang, then looked at Thor and asked, "What's up with this guy?"

Thor gave him a look that said, "We'll talk about it later."

The clip chuckled: "Xiao Zhang, our deputy team leader is asking you some questions, and you seem a little reluctant to cooperate?"

Xiao Zhang was taken aback at first, then looked at Xu Ge with surprise: "You're the deputy leader of the attack team?!"

"Doesn't it look like it?" Xu Ge asked with a straight face.

"It looks just like it!"

Xiao Zhang's attitude changed instantly, and he quickly said, "Deputy team leader, our original base was in an abandoned pasture three kilometers north of the town, about four or five kilometers away from Baisha Village."

"Who knows the location of this outpost?" Xu Ge asked again. Thor glanced at Xu Ge but remained silent.

Xiao Zhang didn't understand Xu Ge's meaning and asked in confusion, "Everyone knows that!"

"Who are you referring to when you say 'everyone'...?"

"Cousin, let's not talk about this now!"

Thor interrupted Xu Ge, glancing at the time, "Let's discuss this in detail after we get to the safe house. Xiao Zhang will lead the way to town, and Mouse will provide drone surveillance the entire time."

"Yes!"

. . .

. . .

In order to bypass border checks, Xiao Zhang still chose to travel through the mountains.

There are hardly any people on this section of the border between Stan and the Taliban; it seems that both sides have tacitly agreed not to send patrols.

With Wu Xiaoyong's drone overhead, walking below was quite easy for everyone.

Xu Ge is chatting with 619 and Jiazi.

"Hey Clip Bro, you won't blame me for taking your deputy team leader position, will you?" Xu Ge asked with a smile.

The clip was both amused and exasperated: "I'm so grateful to you!"

Xu Ge then looked at 619: "And what about you, 99?"

619 nodded seriously: "I am indeed very angry that you took my position as deputy team leader. If you want me to forgive you, it's very simple. When we get back, take your SCAR..."

"Then I'll just talk to Thor and tell him to give you back the deputy leader position. I'm already feeling pretty tired."

"No, no, no, my dear dog, I was just kidding. This position is definitely yours!"

"Sincerely?"

"More real than the bullet casings from Baisha Village!"

Xu Ge was amused: "Those shell casings over there aren't guaranteed to be genuine either, are they?"

619 laughed: "You don't understand. Recycling old shell casings is much cheaper than making new ones."

"Then they need a channel to recycle it, right?"

"The Stan Kingdom is fighting the Tanzanian army in Kashmir every day, and there are shell casings everywhere. Besides, their army has been doing a lot of live-fire training recently."

Xu Ge frowned: "You mean, Baisha Village has a military background?"

619 remained noncommittal: "We'll talk about that later."

Clip leaned closer and whispered, "Dog Baby, do you know what happened to the boss?"

"I don't know. I happened to be in Night City that day, and when I came back, he had already been dismissed." Xu Ge shook his head.

He had a vague idea that Lao Wang's dismissal was related to the leak of warplane information by an insider, but he certainly wouldn't say it.

Furthermore, although he disliked Lao Wang, he was at least certain that Lao Wang would never commit treason.

"By the way, when did you two get here?" Xu Ge changed the subject. "Weren't you at Niu Sanxian's place before?"

Jiazi: "The nanny and the others have arrived, so there's nothing for us to do. Just then, Old Li sent a message saying he found Baisha Village, so we came over ahead of time to help."

"Goubao, come here for a second!"

Thor stopped in his tracks at some point and waved to Xu Ge.

Xu Ge stepped forward: "What's wrong?"

Thor didn't speak until the group had walked a distance before asking, "What did you mean by those questions you asked Xiao Zhang just now?"

Xu Ge's expression remained unchanged: "It doesn't mean anything."

"Stop pretending with me! I'm asking you, do you know about the traitor?" Thor suddenly stared at Xu Ge and asked.

Xu Ge's eye twitched, and before he could even speak, Thor already knew the answer from his expression: "How did you know this? Did Squad Leader Guo tell you something?"

Xu Ge remained silent, unsure of what Thor meant by asking this question.

"What, you've even started to doubt me?" Thor said with a laugh.

"Cousin, who exactly knows about the traitor among us?"

"Right now, it's just the boss, you, and me. Others might have guessed what's going on, but they certainly don't know the specifics."

Xu Ge said in a low voice, "So what did you want to say when you called me here?"

Thor: "I'm just reminding you, don't make any moves that could alert the enemy before you're certain you've found the traitor."

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"How did I alert the enemy?"

"The way you interrogated Xiao Zhang just now practically screamed that you wanted me to be a traitor!"

Thor said irritably, "Since the other party was able to get away unscathed in the last round of surprise inspections and even frame the boss, they must be extremely well-hidden. Don't cause me any trouble!"

Xu Ge was startled: "You mean Old Wang was framed by someone?"

Thor's words just now revealed a lot of information; it turns out that the higher-ups had already conducted a surprise investigation of everyone!

"Remember this: never reveal to anyone that you know about the mole. The mole is far more cunning than you think."

Thor gestured for Xu Ge to continue following the group and whispered, "I have something else to tell you. When you get to the safe house, don't sleep too soundly. You're very alert, so you need to be constantly aware of any movement!"

Xu Ge turned his head: "Do you want me to keep an eye on the sounds outside, or on the sounds of the people inside?"

Thor: "Both!"

Xu Ge's expression changed: "You suspect there's a mole in our group?!"

"I'm not doubting them, but I need to eliminate the people in our group first!" Thor said in a deep voice. "Once we get there, just follow my instructions!"

Xu Ge looked at Thor: "Cousin, I actually think everyone in our group is fine, including Lao Li and Xiao Zhang."
