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

Chapter 287 Master-level Sniffing!
"You think it's useless, but I still think everyone is fine. The secrets were still leaked, weren't they?"

Thor was speechless. "They're not going to wear my identity as a traitor on their sleeve!"

Xu Ge stopped talking because he couldn't explain.

He not only felt that there was no problem within the attack team, but he could even be certain that everyone in the entire Hidden Wolf base was safe!
Because wartime mode has never been triggered.

Although the system did not provide any explicit prompts, Xu Ge believed that he had figured out the characteristics of the wartime mode.

That is, whenever an enemy approaches, the wartime mode button will flash, reminding him that he can issue commands to the enemy at any time.

In other words, since Xu Ge activated wartime mode, he has not yet had a close encounter with the traitor.

This gave him an idea: the mole was either not in Hidden Wolf, or he had been sent to another place like a field agent.

"Although Old Li said that only he knew the location of the safe house, now everyone knows that it is in town."

Thor began to explain his plan, "From now on, you'll be in charge of keeping an eye on 619 and the trap, while I'll watch over Old Li and Little Zhang. We'll see if the enemy comes looking for us."

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"Why the four of them? What about the others?"

"Shepherd Dog and you are newcomers. White Legs and the other two have only been here for less than a year. They have no access to information about fighter jets."

Thor's expression was somewhat grim. "Although I don't want to believe it, it's obvious that the other side has been lurking among us for a long time."

Xu Ge was immediately filled with some indescribable emotions. His comrades-in-arms had become enemies, which was definitely a very disheartening thing.

"Alright, that's all. Hurry up and follow them."

Thor reminded him again, "Cousin, we're doing this to eliminate suspicion from those around us, so you must be objective and not overlook anything unusual!"

"Ok, I know!"

The two quickly caught up with the group and began to keep an eye out for their targets.

If Thor hadn't specifically instructed him, Xu Ge really wouldn't have planned to keep an eye on the clip and 619 the whole time, since the system's judgment wouldn't be wrong.

But since they've given such instructions, I'll just do as they say. If Thor asks about it later, at least I'll be able to give a reasonable explanation.

At this moment, Thor had returned to the front of the team and was walking with Xiao Zhang, while Xu Ge continued to chat with the two veteran team members in the back.

While they were chatting, 619 took his phone out of his pocket and started tapping away, apparently sending a message.

Xu Ge immediately leaned closer: "Who are you chatting with right now? Aren't you afraid of being located by the enemy?"

"Don't worry, this is an encrypted email."

619 showed no intention of avoiding people and continued operating. "I'll tell Niu San first. Ever since he found out we encountered SSG last night, he's been asking about the situation."

Xu Ge asked, somewhat puzzled, "99, you and San'er seem to be getting along quite well now!"

619 laughed: "He's alright. I was the one who brought him here when he first started doing fieldwork. He's a decent guy. It's rare for me to find someone I can get along with, hahaha!"

Clip scoffed, "Isn't it because someone introduced you to a girls' college?"

"Don't you dare slander me! I don't have that kind of hobby!" 619 quickly distanced himself.

Xiao Zhang turned around and said, "Everyone, we're almost there. Please try not to speak Mandarin."

Everyone immediately shut their mouths and perked up. Xu Ge also silently clipped the Glock 17 to his lower abdomen.

After rounding the bend, a bustling border town came into view.

The town is not small. It was around 8 a.m., and various vendors and shops had already opened their doors. The sounds of hawking and bargaining filled the air.

The streets were filled with people dressed in all sorts of outfits, including not only local residents of Stan but also many Taliban people who had come to the early morning market.

This also made Xu Ge and his group less conspicuous.

Led by Xiao Zhang, everyone slowly walked through the street in the middle of the town and arrived at the residential area at the other end.

Xu Ge immediately spotted the minibus that Lao Li had driven earlier, parked in front of a courtyard facing the street, with Lao Li sitting on the threshold, smoking a cigarette.

When he saw Thor and the others arrive, Old Li didn't say anything and turned to go into the courtyard.

"Sheepdog, come here!"

Thor took the backpack off Wan Xiaofei and whispered a few words in his ear. Wan Xiaofei immediately returned to the street.

. . .

. . .

The yard wasn't big, and there was a circle of radishes planted along the wall. To the side of the gate were three brick houses, and Old Li was waiting at the door of the left one.

"Was the journey smooth?"

"Sure thing, why did you choose such a place?" Thor asked. "Isn't this place too close to the street?"

"Let's talk after you come in."

Old Li pushed open the door, and everyone filed in.

"Xiao Zhang, go buy breakfast for everyone and come back. Remember to buy it separately."

"Know!"

After Xiao Zhang left, Lao Li led everyone to the carpeted area at the back of the room, lifted the carpet, pointed to the dark staircase below, and said:

"I spent a long time choosing this courtyard and bought it at a high price. It leads directly to the vegetable cellar and water cellar below the courtyard, and you can also go out from the back of the house if you keep walking in."

Thor turns on his flashlight: "Come on, take me down there and take a look!"

The two went down, walked around, and came back up. Thor nodded: "That's right, you can definitely get out from below."

After the team members put their backpacks on the ground and briefly familiarized themselves with the courtyard, Xiao Zhang returned with breakfast.

Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, and Thor, while munching on bread, gestured for Old Li to explain the situation in detail.

“I stayed here for almost half a month and learned from the locals that the actual controller of Baisha Village is a middle-aged man named Aru. I heard that he came from the capital and rarely comes out. I didn’t take any pictures of him.”

Thor: "Do the people in this town know that guns are made in White Sand Village?" "Yes, many of them have worked there, and quite a few are still there now." Old Li looked at Thor, "The son of the family next door has seen Aru, but I haven't learned much about him."

Thor pondered for a moment and said, "Hey, Li and Zhang, you two take the opportunity during the day to ask the people in town about the situation, especially that person you mentioned. It would be best to find out Aru's physical characteristics. Also, find out where the SSG people are now. If there are no special circumstances, we'll go to the vicinity of Baisha Village tonight to scout."

“No problem, we’ll go right away!” Old Li and Xiao Zhang immediately got up and went out.

Not long after, Wan Xiaofei returned.

"So, is it done?" Thor asked.

Wan Xiaofei nodded: "It's done."

"Okay! Goubao and I will keep watch up here for now. The rest of you can go down to the cellar to sleep and come back up to relieve us in four hours."

"Yes!"

After all the team members had gone downstairs, Xu Ge moved a chair and sat down facing the door, asking in a low voice, "Cousin, what did you ask the sheepdog to do earlier?"

“He speaks Stan, so I told him to find a vacant house in town, just in case.”

Thor tucked his pistol into his waistband and sat down next to Xu Ge. "Any findings?"

Xu Ge shook his head: "And you?"

"I do not have either."

"What's next?"

"We'll talk about it tonight."

"it is good!"

The two men stayed up there until noon. Old Li and Xiao Zhang returned with lunch, and the others also came up from the cellar.

The group gathered information while eating.

"I found out. Aru's most distinctive feature is a large black mole behind his left earlobe, and he also has two gold teeth!"

Old Li was quite excited, "These features are so easy to recognize, you'll almost never mistake one person for another!"

Thor: "What about SSG? Any news about them?"

Xiao Zhang shook his head: "I went to the ranch again, but there was no one there. I don't know where all those people went."

"Okay, you guys continue to gather information this afternoon. Wear your headsets and contact us immediately if you find anything."

"it is good!"

After lunch, Thor and Xu Ge went down into the cellar to sleep.

The area below was pitch black, with two water vats and several baskets of vegetables piled up, emitting a foul, murky smell.

Thor lay down on his gun bag as a pillow: "Go to sleep, you're coming with me to scout tonight."

"understand!"

Xu Ge was indeed sleepy. He found a relatively dry place, lay down fully clothed, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

In a daze, Xu Ge seemed to hear the sound of an engine in his ears, and he sat up with a start.

At almost the same time, Thor opened his eyes, drew his gun, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"I think I heard a car coming," Xu Ge said uncertainly.

Thor: ? ? ?
"We're in town now, isn't it normal to have cars? Why are you making such a fuss..."

"Cousin, don't say anything yet!"

Xu Ge frowned and listened intently.

He felt that the sound he had just heard was not quite right; the engine's power was obviously greater than that of a civilian vehicle, and it seemed more like a military diesel engine.

But when he listened carefully, the noise disappeared.

Is it an illusion?
That shouldn't be the case. I was clearly startled awake; there must have been some unusual sound that triggered my reaction.

Xu Ge pressed his ear to the ground again, and the faint rumbling sound reappeared.

However, since he was in the cellar, his voice had a hollow response, and the movements were intermittent, Xu Ge was unable to accurately determine his location for the time being.

Seeing Xu Ge's serious expression, Thor immediately pressed the earpiece: "Old Li, Little Zhang, is there anything unusual in town right now?"

Zizi!

Xiao Zhang's voice rang out: "No!"

There was also movement above; it seems that the other team members responded to Thor's question in their headsets.

Thor looked at Xu Ge: "Cousin, did you hear anything unusual?"

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Ge's face was pressed completely to the ground, but he still couldn't hear clearly. He gritted his teeth and summoned the token.

With 139 points remaining in his general skill points, he decided to upgrade his Sniffing skill, which he had been hesitant to improve, to Master level!
add a bit!

Sniffing: Master level (1/9999)!
The next moment, Xu Ge felt a buzzing sound in his ears as a large number of unfamiliar voices rushed in.

At the same time, all sorts of strange smells came from my nose.

Xu Ge shook his head to clear his mind before pressing his ear back to the ground.

Buzz!
Chirp chirp chirp!
呲呲呲!
He heard the wind, the sound of insects crawling, and even faint sounds of the earth's crust moving deep underground!

Shift your focus to the ground, and suddenly a massive amount of noise appears.

Xu Ge searched outwards from the courtyard, and finally heard the sound of a car engine in the southeast direction.

And the clicking sound of bullets being chambered!
