The little star from the Gobi Desert, handed over to the state, is hailed as a national treasure.

The moment Song Dazhuang heard Tian Tian speak, his highly tense nerves reacted immediately, and he slammed on the brakes.

Without hesitation, Liang Zhe immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Attention everyone! Slow down and stop!"

The well-trained convoy immediately came to a complete stop.

Brigade Commander Bai's solemn voice rang out, "Liang Zhe, what's going on!"

"Reporting to the brigade commander, Sweetie has made a discovery."

Commander Bai fell silent instantly, clearly holding his breath as well.

Ever since Liang Zhe rescued his daughter, this little girl has been like a small radar on this pursuit route. Coupled with radio positioning and aerial reconnaissance, they were able to locate Gao Yanzhou's whereabouts so quickly.

"Daughter, what did you see?" Liang Zhe asked nervously.

Sweetie slid off Liang Zhe's leg and stood in front of the windshield. Her eyes, which seemed to hold stars in the darkness, were fixed on the sand ahead, her lips slightly pursed, her expression serious.

A moment later, she whispered, "Daddy, there's something black, hot, and red on the ground."

"Dark and hot?" Song Dazhuang asked, puzzled.

Liang Zhe frowned. While pondering what Tian Tian should say, he patiently guided her, "Sweetie, tell Daddy again, what does that black thing look like?"

"It's just..." Sweetie tilted her little head, thought carefully for a moment, stretched out her little hand, and made a round shape, "like a ball, boom boom boom."

Liang Zhe's brow twitched violently, and he almost immediately realized, "It's a landmine! Honey, is it a landmine that's going to explode?"

Although Tian Tian had never heard the word "landmine" before, she immediately understood what her father meant.

She nodded vigorously. "Yes, Daddy, it will make a sound, just like the 'medicine' they tied on Sweetie before, it will make a 'boom boom boom' sound."

Liang Zhe grabbed the radio, his voice urgent: "Attention all personnel! Minefield detected ahead! Immediately hold your positions and stand by! No unauthorized advance is permitted!"

"Are you sure?" Commander Bai asked seriously.

"Sweetie said it herself, it's spherical, it will explode."

"That's for sure." Commander Bai had no doubt about Tian Tian's abilities. As long as the little girl had the opportunity to touch the land, she would unleash amazing skills.

"All units, stand by where you are. Do not advance without permission. As for the engineers, bring them here."

Ever since the army ant colony was discovered, an engineering platoon had been specially added to the pursuit team. The platoon leader responded over the radio and was about to get out of the vehicle when Sweetie suddenly spoke up, pointing to the sandy road on the other side: "Daddy, drive that way!"

Since the ant colony was discovered, engineers have been added to the pursuit team. The engineer squad leader responded and was about to get out of the vehicle when Tian Tian called out, "Daddy, drive that way!"

Song Dazhuang was taken aback, then repeated, "Honey, are you sure that road is safe?"

Sweetie nodded vigorously, "There's nothing dark there."

"Okay, Uncle will listen to you." Song Dazhuang nodded, turning the steering wheel while muttering to himself, "What exactly is Gao Yanzhou up to? Why is he driving into a minefield? Is he trying to lure us in and kill us all?"

"It's very possible that they also planted these landmines."

"These beasts, don't they have a death wish?"

Song Dazhuang couldn't comprehend this madness of mutual destruction. Then, upon further reflection, he wiped away a cold sweat.

"Liang Tuan, do you think it was a close call? If it weren't for that swarm of army ants blocking our way on the way here, we might have really walked into a minefield before we even had Tian Tian."

Liang Zhe nodded silently, feeling extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, we encountered army ants first, which served as a warning. Otherwise, if we had rashly advanced and stepped into a deadly minefield, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The convoy carefully proceeded along the route indicated by Tian Tian. The little girl would occasionally point ahead, saying, "Uncle, that rock, let's go that way."

"Don't touch the grass."

"There's a pothole, Uncle Dazhuang, drive over it."

Following Tian Tian's directions, the convoy traveled smoothly without encountering any danger or triggering any landmines.

Ahead, Gao Yanzhou also slowed down and proceeded under Yan Shijun's direction.

They are now deep inside the minefield, which is densely covered with mines. The slightest mistake could trigger an explosion. Strangely, however, no explosion has been heard yet.

"Damn, that's weird!"

Looking in the rearview mirror, Yan Shijun could vaguely see a long line of vehicles behind him, smoothly navigating through the minefield.

In the darkness, they clearly had difficulty distinguishing tire tracks, so why haven't they run over any landmines yet?

"This is bizarre! This is absolutely bizarre!" Yan Shijun was completely baffled.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned to look at Gao Yanzhou, "Old Gao, how did they find the water and fish in the base, which are buried so deep underground?"

Gao Yanzhou pursed his lips, remaining silent. In truth, a shocking idea had been swirling in his mind for a long time, but since it hadn't been confirmed, he dared not easily believe it.

"Could it be... that little girl can really see things underground?" Yan Shijun hesitated for a long time before finally voicing his guess.

Recalling the strange phenomena he witnessed at the base, Gao Yanzhou's answer became increasingly clear. He snorted coldly, "My only regret is not killing that little girl sooner. Keeping her around was ultimately a disaster."

"If that's the case," Yan Shijun said, his face filled with shock and a hint of panic in his voice, "then there's even less chance they'll step on a landmine!"

"Old Gao, stop! We can't win. Continuing like this will only lead to our deaths!"

"Then detonate all the mines!" Gao Yanzhou said viciously, "Blow them all into the sky!"

"Are you crazy!" Yan Shijun hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "Detonating all the landmines requires setting them on fire. If that happens, it will affect everything, and we'll all be doomed!"

"What, is the deputy stationmaster scared?" Gao Yanzhou's tone was icy. "Or have you even forgotten where to hang the bow?"

Yan Shijun was speechless. Of course he remembered where the bowstring was, but he knew even better that if he made a move, it would be the same as blowing himself to pieces. He didn't even want to think about what that would feel like.

But looking at Gao Yanzhou's frantic appearance, he understood deeply that he had no choice at this moment.

Just as they were hesitating, the headlights of the car behind them gradually approached. With Tian Tian's guidance, the army's pursuit speed actually increased.

"Gao Yanzhou, you have nowhere to run. Lay down your weapons, surrender, and strive for leniency!"

"Stubborn resistance will only lead to death!"

"Deputy Station Master!" Gao Yanzhou turned his head. "What are you waiting for?!"

With no way forward and pursuers behind,

The images of his wife and children, along with the tortures inflicted by the organization, churned in Yan Shijun's mind. In the end, fear overwhelmed everything.

It was worth sacrificing my life for the safety of my family!

"Drive straight ahead, to the foot of that saxaul tree."

He pointed with his finger, his voice filled with a do-or-die determination!

A fierce glint flashed in Gao Yanzhou's eyes, and he turned the steering wheel without hesitation!

"Dad, they've gone to do something bad!"

Not far away, Tian Tian keenly noticed the movement of the other vehicle. There was a curved line buried underground there, and as long as the hook was attached, it would make a loud "boom" sound!

"Dad, we can't let them get past."

Liang Zhe gritted his teeth, quickly grabbed the radio, and reported, "Brigadier, Tian Tian has determined that the other party is making dangerous moves. Should we shoot them down? Please advise!"

Brigade Commander Bai hesitated. They no longer had any enemy agents alive. If they could capture Yan Shijun and Gao Yanzhou alive, they might be able to extract more secrets about the organization from them.

However, it now seems that staying behind poses too great a risk, and he must prioritize the safety of everyone.

"Act according to the situation; if necessary, agree to kill."

"yes!"

With the brigade commander's authorization, Liang Zhe took off his submachine gun and was about to aim when Tian Tian suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Dad, wait a minute!"

Liang Zhe paused, "What's wrong?"

Sweetie tilted her head, her gaze sweeping over Gao Yanzhou's car before looking down at the tree.

"Daddy," she said softly, blinking her big eyes, "there's no need to shoot. The big bad guys will be eaten."
