Staring at the ID card, Chen Zizhen thought, "This is good news. I should ask Brother Huang for his opinion first.'
With this thought, Chen Zizhen said, "Wait here. I need to get permission to let you in."
The old man nodded quickly at his words. Chen Zizhen then stepped aside, took out his walkie-talkie, and contacted Huang Qian.
"Brother Qian, the people trying to breach the fence are surgeons and doctors who worked for the First Hospital in Juncheng City before. Their leader wants to join us. What do you think? Should we accept them?"
Huang Qian, monitoring the situation through the control room's cameras, had already seen the old man's ID card. He studied the familiar face on the screen and asked, "Have you verified their claims?"
"Yes. I used my ability to confirm the truth," Chen Zizhen replied.
A smile spread across Huang Qian's face when he heard that.
"Excellent. Bring them in and hand them over to Uncle Han. He will assign their living quarters. The medical personnel can start work in the infirmary after they recover their health and let Uncle Han decide the work for the others."
"Understood."
After receiving approval from Huang Qian, Chen Zizhen returned to the fence and said to the old man, "Old man, you guys can come with me. The senior officer agrees to let you guys join our shelter, but you must work for your food and living place."
"Sure. We will work hard. Thank you, Sir." The old man quickly expressed his gratitude and followed with his students and family members.
Chen Zizhen led them to the main entrance, where they underwent purification and cleansing procedures before being escorted to the administrative office.
Knocking on the open door, Chen Zizhen said, "Uncle Han, we've got a new group of workers."
Hearing these words, Han Jinfu looked up from the report he was writing. He smiled at Chen Zizhen and said, "Please, bring them in."
Chen Zizhen entered and explained, "These people are doctors and surgeons. Brother Huang said to assign them to the infirmary. As for the others, you can decide where they can work."
Glancing at the emaciated, dirty group standing outside, Han Jinfu nodded. "Understood. I will take care of them. You can return to your post."
"Got it."
After Chen Zizhen left, Han Jinfu turned to the old man and said, "Uncle, I will show you guys the living quarters. Each room accommodates eight people, so I will assign you two rooms for your group since you have fifteen people. Please come with me."
As he said that, Han Jinfu led them to the living area.
While everyone in the air raid shelter was busy recruiting skilled individuals, repairing fences, and expanding the territory, Wu Yehao and his team were equally busy investigating Du Zhaoyi and protecting Yao Ran.
Taking advantage of the chaos outside, Wu Yehao led his team to infiltrate the Second Army's barracks. With most of the soldiers dispatched to control the situation, only a few remained to guard the entrance and patrol the area.
Hiding on the rooftop of one of the buildings, a woman dressed in black pressed the communication device in her right ear and reported, "Target building is clear."
In response, Wu Yehao and several men replied over the communication device, "Got it."
While the woman observed the surroundings through night vision binoculars, Wu Yehao led two men to infiltrate the building where Du Zhaoyi's office was located.
Before entering, Wu Yehao pressed his communication device and instructed, "All personnel, get into position."
A second later, the team members confirmed one after another, "Roger that."
With everyone in place, Wu Yehao made a series of hand signals. The other two men nodded in understanding before the group split up.
One of them, using his wind-element ability, leaped to the top floor and entered through an open window, while the other stealthily moved to the rear of the building.
Meanwhile, Wu Yehao scanned his surroundings before retrieving a small round device from his pocket. He placed it on the window lock, pressed it, and waited for two seconds.
Click!
Hearing the soft clicking sound, he removed the device, opened the window, and, seeing no one inside, quickly slipped in. He closed and locked the window behind him to avoid suspicion.
Before the mission, Wu Yehao's team had meticulously gathered intelligence on the soldiers' patrol schedules, positions, and the location of Du Zhaoyi's office. Using a map drawn by one of his subordinates, Wu Yehao navigated the building with ease and reached his target in no time.
Examining the office door, he found out that it was locked. He took out the same small device, unlocked the door, and slipped inside. Quietly closing the door behind him, he scanned the room.
With his night vision goggles, Wu Yehao could clearly see every detail of the office. After memorizing the arrangement of the items to ensure there was no trap there, he began his search.
Two minutes later, he discovered a secret compartment beneath the large, heavy office table. He carefully lifted the table, opened the compartment, and found exactly what he was looking
for.
Seeing that he still had time, Wu Yehao quickly skimmed the documents. After reviewing the last page, he pulled out his backpack and began loading everything inside.
After securing the documents, he closed the secret compartment and returned the office table to its original position.
Pressing the communication device in his left ear, he issued a single command, "Retreat."
Following his order, Wu Yehao locked the office door and exited through the window. Within moments, more than twenty people in black quietly withdrew from the Second Army's barracks without leaving any traces.
Three days after the riots, the base announced the enforcement of martial law and stricter
punishments.
When the situation calmed down, Yuan Rihui finally had the opportunity to leave his villa and hurriedly went out to find Yao Ran and others. He stood outside Yao Ran's villa, looked around warily, and then knocked on the metal gate with a wooden stick.
