“I saw them sneaking around as if they were waiting for something. They seem quite on guard, and at this moment, it won’t be easy for us to charge over.”

“Then let’s not make a move for now,” Tang Zelin paused, “You just mentioned that it seemed like they were waiting for something?”

Wang Meng nodded, “I was watching from a distance, and their lip movements seemed to be saying something about ‘coming or not coming.’ Given how they were scouting around, it’s probably a sure bet.”

“If they are indeed waiting for something, let’s stay put for the time being and see.”

After the order was given, everyone temporarily held their positions.

Meanwhile, Tang Zelin and his group took turns keeping a watch on the movements across from them.

By now, the situation had evolved beyond merely crossing this route; they had unexpectedly discovered military weapons that shouldn’t be here.

Tang Zelin couldn’t help but think even deeper about the situation.

The theft of the armory had extremely serious implications.

It not only caused a strain on the military’s resources but also added dangerous elements outside the city. It was imperative to find out where these weapons were and who held them.

What he still couldn’t quite understand was, if they were found just outside Pengcheng, what about the stationed troops in Pengcheng? Did they have no clues?

If there were no clues, that would suggest these people were nomadic criminals, constantly changing their living spots and moving after each strike, making it extremely difficult for the stationed troops to conduct a search.

There was another possibility that Tang Zelin least wanted to see: that the situation inside Pengcheng was not secure, consuming most of the military’s attention, and as a result, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye to these thugs outside.

The current problem was to figure out exactly how many people were on the opposite side and what they were waiting for.

Should they strike first before the others react, or wait for reinforcements to arrive and then take action accordingly?

Tang Zelin silently weighed in his heart which action would be better.

Wang Meng said, “Group captain, should we go over and take this one out first, then recon the situation over there?”

Zhang Dongke didn’t speak; with such matters, the group captain certainly had his own ideas.

And Tang Zelin had an innate and indescribable sense of danger and the unfolding situation, which at this moment, did not suggest it was a good time to attack.

Su Shu stood aside, watching them discuss the battle situation.

She felt that Tang Zelin might be uncertain about exactly how many people were inside those dozen or so houses.

Under these circumstances, acting recklessly was indeed dangerous.

Su Shu quietly walked over to the corner of the wall, crouched down as if resting, and then released the Little Snake King from her “space”.

The Little Snake King looked into her eyes, glanced at the shape of her mouth, and understood his master’s intent.

He disappeared silently from sight.

Su Shu sat with her legs hugged to her chest at the base of the wall; given the current situation didn’t yet require her involvement, she took the opportunity to rest.

Before long, the Little Snake King suddenly appeared in her backpack behind her neck, poked out a little snake head, and reported the enemy situation in Su Shu’s ear.

“The guard enemies, out of thirteen houses, only contain fifteen men. Five houses are empty, and in the other eight rooms, three contain ordinary hostages, each monitored by two armed men. The rest are in other rooms.”

Upon hearing the word “hostages,” Su Shu turned slightly and asked in a low voice, “What kind of hostages?”
