Just as Zhang Hui was lost in thought, Xu Hong came over and called them inside.

The Jiaolong team couldn't communicate with the locals, and since they had a temporary base, they asked Xia Nan to come and help them communicate.

Xia Nan was very patient with the woman and child, and immediately went to comfort them.

With her high level of affability, she quickly closed the distance with the woman, asked her various questions, and finally came over to tell everyone about the current situation here.

"Bella, the owner of the house, said that it was occupied by terrorists a week ago."

"They killed all the men and drove away the women and children. They left only a few of them to cook for them. Now there are about 150 terrorists in the town, mainly concentrated around the square. She drew a picture."

Then Xia Nan placed the map on the table and began to explain it to Yang Rui.

Speaking of the hostage camp, there are a total of 25 people: 5 government soldiers, 3 women, and only one Asian woman. It can be roughly determined that this Asian woman is Deng Mei, whom Yang Rui is looking for.

Xu Hong asked how many roads led to the hostage camp.

Xia Nan paused for a while before saying that there was only one way to get there: the square.

"Let's report our situation to the ship first," Yang Rui said to Xu Hong, feeling very pressured.

Xia Nan stood up and asked Yang Rui with a somewhat apprehensive tone, "8 against 150, have you ever had this kind of experience before?"

"You're wrong, it's 9 to 150. Am I not included?" Zhang Hui interjected calmly.

"Also, I have experience with 6 out of 90." After Zhang Hui finished speaking, Yang Rui and Xia Nan looked up at him with wide eyes.

Yang Rui was somewhat skeptical of Zhang Hui's words. He looked down at the map and spoke again, "Our mission is not to deal with those 150 people, but to rescue the Chinese hostage who we must rescue."

"So you're saying there's no hope for the others?" Xia Nan asked, somewhat disappointed.

"There's no time left," Yang Rui said, clearly gritting his teeth.

"There is time. Once you hear my thoughts, you'll know that there is time to rescue all the hostages." Seeing that the two were completely ignoring him, Zhang Hui interjected.

"Do you know how we managed to win against 90 opponents with fewer troops?" Upon hearing this, Yang Rui and Xia Nan, even if they didn't believe him, looked at him curiously.

"Drugs!" Zhang Hui wasn't lying to them; he had used this trick to save someone a few years ago, but he had used a laxative back then.

While he was lost in thought, he also recalled his foolish actions a few years ago. At that time, the disparity between the enemy and himself was too great, and he used everything around him to the fullest extent in order to save people.

Zhang Hui glanced at Xia Nan, then at Yang Rui, and continued, "The best one is tetramine, chemically known as tetramethylenediamine. It's tasteless, odorless, and soluble in water."

This substance is a pesticide that is prohibited from production, sale, and use in China, and it is 100 times more toxic than the more well-known potassium cyanide.

Moreover, he had just found this thing in the [System Mall]. Based on the lethal dose of about 5 to 12 milligrams, if each person takes 10 milligrams, then 150 people would only take 1.5 grams.

In the [System Mall], 1 gram only costs 5 points, and he had already spent 25 points to buy 5 grams for backup. However, looking at the incredulous expressions of the two people in front of him, Zhang Hui thought they were against this method.

"You wouldn't be thinking of using any other method, would you? This is the only way to avoid mass casualties."

"If I could, I would want to eliminate all these terrorists. Letting them live another day is a waste of air." Zhang Hui's words were not an exaggeration.

Based on the calculation that a terrorist costs 3 points, enough to poison half the population, his point reward this time could be used to upgrade his stats and equipment. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but try to appeal to Xia Nan's emotions.

"Sister-in-law, you didn't see the terrible scene on the bus today, did you?"

"ten years......"

"Ten years ago, when Chongqing was bombed, my older brother and Xiao Hui died on a bus like the one we're on today."

"I experienced it firsthand; they...they had nothing left."

"I will never forget the horror of that time. I survived, which gave me a mission. I want to kill all those people. I want to kill all the terrorists."

"You're just like me, right? Fighting all terrorist organizations to the bitter end, and if possible, I don't intend to let any of these 150 terrorists in town escape!"

The last sentence was practically spat out from Zhang Hui's back teeth. The intense hatred made Yang Rui feel the other party's strong emotions for the first time. What left him somewhat at a loss was Xia Nan's gradual breakdown.

As Xia Nan listened to Zhang Hui's story, it stirred up emotions deep within her heart, as well as memories she was unwilling to recall or face.

She, who had remained steadfast despite the artillery attacks, gradually broke down under Zhang Hui's words, finally sobbing and crouching down.

When Yang Rui heard about Xia Nan and Zhang Hui's experiences for the first time, he finally understood why the two of them were so determined to come to Basem Town and risk their lives to get involved in matters concerning terrorists.

Everything stemmed from the hatred in my heart, and also from the love for the lost loved ones.

Just as he was wondering how to appease the two, Xu Hong walked in from outside. Yang Rui took the opportunity to walk to Xu Hong's side and listen to his report.

"The captain said that the only support we could receive was helicopter assistance from the government forces, but there was no specific timeframe."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rui nodded, then looked up at Xu Hong and said, "Besides Deng Mei, I want to rescue all the other hostages."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hui turned to look at the two men, eagerly anticipating their next move.

"What's your plan?" Yang Rui continued to ask Xu Hong.

After listening for a while, Xu Hong replied firmly, "If we want to rescue so many people, we can't go back the way we came. Why not just take everyone across the desert north of the hostage camp to the government army base?"

"But the problem is, we're too big a target. What if the enemy catches up..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Rui interrupted him directly: "Deng Mei is still the top priority. After Deng Mei has safely evacuated and returned by the same route, we will concentrate our firepower on the hostage camp."

After saying that, he walked over to Zhang Hui and asked very seriously, "How much of that rodenticide do you have? Can you guarantee that it's effective?"

Seeing an opportunity, Zhang Hui quickly replied, "I have 5 grams on me. This stuff is too toxic for me to carry too much. Based on the lethal dose of 5 to 12 milligrams per person, 5 grams in food would definitely be enough to kill everyone."

"It's just... I'm just worried that some might slip through the net. You know, it's impossible for everyone to eat together, so we can't guarantee that they'll all get poisoned."

"That's right! This stuff takes 5-20 minutes to take effect after being ingested. We can use those few minutes to save Deng Mei, the one we need to save."

After answering the question, Zhang Hui also mentioned the advantages and disadvantages of the drugging strategy, leaving it to the other party to decide.

"Alright! Prepare the medicine. Before delivering the meal, administer the medicine directly." After saying this, Yang Rui went to discuss the action plan with Xu Hong.

[The plot has changed due to the host's actions; 6 unallocated points will be awarded as a reward!]

Seeing this reward, my first reaction was that it felt like a bad deal. But then I thought, if I could just take the opportunity to kill two terrorists, the reward points should cover the cost.

The rest of the time, Xia Nan and I stood aside and listened to Yang Rui explain his proposed action plan.
