Chapter 560: Chapter 553: Seeing Familiar Faces Again

With the help of Fulajie’er, the tasks of the Advance Team became significantly easier. Since these people hadn’t made any moves yet, they hadn’t sent anyone down the mountain for reconnaissance immediately. Instead, they let Fulajie’er keep an eye on them.

Fulajie’er was swift, taking only a few minutes to reconnoitre. It would have taken the team hours to do the same.

Thanks to her, the entire Advance Team was somewhat relaxed, all of them resting in the dilapidated house. Baiyue and Hu Daoke, acting as the hunting squad, constantly went out to hunt for the team’s food supply.

This time the duo were quite successful, killing two large herbivores in one go and laboured to bring their catches back to their base. With this meat supply, the Advance Team wouldn’t have to worry about food shortages for a while.

After solving the food problem, Luo’er decided to personally monitor and track these people. They couldn’t always depend on Fulajie’er to run back and forth, though it was convenient. Ultimately, Fulajie’er was not a professional scout, and her reconnaissance results were satisfactory at best, and certainly not as professional as the Advance Team’s.

Luo’er divided the team into two groups, taking turns monitoring these people. Luo’er, Tangmo, and Shangguan Jiu were the first group to act. They sought a high point with an open field of view to monitor the people below.

Although headquarters’ orders were for them to stand by and trap Fu’en and the others in Otherworld if their Earth counterparts failed, Luo’er preferred taking the initiative. If they could neutralize everyone before they activated the Magic Array, they could cut off the Earth team’s retreat.

With Fulajie’er’s help, it took the trio nearly five hours to find a plateau halfway up the mountain. From here, they had a high vantage point and an open view, making it an excellent surveillance platform. However, it was quite a distance from the people, about two hundred meters.

This distance might be considered far for ordinary people, but not for the Advance Team. They carried telescopes and other sighting equipment, making this distance trivial to them. By adjusting the magnification of their telescopes, they could even clearly see the faces of the people at the other end.

"The logging camp has two entrances, each manned by two armed guards. The primary weapon is the G3 rifle. Additionally, atop one of the buildings is a machine-gun unit that can cover all areas without a blind spot. This will need to be taken down before launching an attack!"

At this moment, Luo’er was using a telescope, sharing the information he gleaned. The two girls on his left and right were silently recording the information.

He then put down the telescope and picked up a rifle fitted with an ACOG scope. Because electronics don’t work in the Otherworld, they couldn’t use advanced reflection type or holographic sights. This robust optical sight was still the main sight for the Advance Team.

"This location can be used as a sniper support platform. Aside from the southwestern corner which is out of coverage, all other areas can be covered," Luo’er said, putting down the rifle, and looked at the two girls beside him.

Shangguan Jiu was staring at him wide-eyed, seemingly in a daze. Luo’er waved his hand in front of her face and said, "You alright? You’re supposed to record the information, not stare at me."

"Ah, I’m sorry, where did you leave off?" Shangguan Jiu immediately diverted her gaze and apologized with an embarrassed look.

"Uh..." Luo’er was at a loss for words.

"Hmph!" From the side came Tangmo’s discontent growl, clearly jealous. Luo’er was beginning to regret pairing these two together.

He continued to observe the opposite side through his telescope and noticed one person sneaking glances in their direction, as if suspecting something. They were all well disguised, so Luo’er, rather than panicking, calmly ordered, "Fula, go and distract him!"

"Hmm, I understand!" Fulajie’er replied and promptly vanished.

Looking into the distance, I saw that guy startle suddenly, looking around with wide eyes, as though he’d seen a ghost, which, in actuality, he had.

In fact, Luo’er had always overlooked an important role of Fulajie’er, which was her incredible ability to intimidate and disrupt those from the Otherworld. The Otherworld was still in a feudal era, so most people were ignorant and superstitious, instinctively fearing ghosts like Fulajie’er.

Previously, Fulajie’er mentioned that they had been in the Weird Talk Forest for more than twenty years, yet it seemed only Luo’er and his group were not petrified, and dared to communicate with them. Over these years, countless people had been terrified to death in the Weird Talk Forest, so each ghost carried a heavy burden.

Sure enough, under Fulajie’er’s interference, that guy no longer dared to observe the location of the three people, and he fled back into the logging yard in a hurry.

"Done!" Fulajie’er appeared again next to the three of them, saying triumphantly.

"What did you say to him?" Luo’er couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"I told him not to look around, or he’d see unclean things," Fulajie’er replied.

"And that scared him off?" Luo’er found this amusing.

"He wet his pants," Fulajie’er added with a look of contempt.

Hearing Fulajie’er’s report, a thought came to Luo’er. Since these guys were so afraid of ghosts, why not have Fulajie’er control them and prohibit them from running around?

His plan was to have Fulajie’er wander around the forest with the logging yard at the center, terrifying those who tried to leave and forcing them to return, ensuring they stay in groups and not stray on their own.

This was mainly to avoid possible ambushes nearby. Ambushes were a basic defense method set up by both Earth’s inhabitants and those of the Otherworld.

When the advance team scouted the deity-making base, they encountered Theron’s ambush. Thanks to the Weird Talk Forest which they dared not enter, Luo’er and his team were spared from being trapped.

Having this thought, Luo’er immediately issued an order to Fulajie’er. Although Fulajie’er wasn’t a soldier, she always obeyed Luo’er’s orders without any hesitation.

Soon, under Fulajie’er’s intimidation, the hidden scouts in the forest emerged one after another, hurriedly rushing back to the logging yard. The effect of Fulajie’er’s terror was so strong that Luo’er began to worry if she might scare them all away to the point where they would have to trek through mountains and rivers again.

After a while, a man who looked like a leader emerged from the logging yard, reprimanding the scouts who had abandoned their posts. Luo’er had a hunch that he recognized this man. After focusing his attention, he was surprised to find that this was none other than Azita, the boss of the Holy Heart City Hound Gang.

The last time the Church Court eradicated the Hound Gang, this guy escaped in the chaos. Luo’er was so angry that he couldn’t eat for several days, not expecting to encounter him here.

However, thinking about it, it wasn’t strange to encounter Azita here. These people were in cooperation with the CIA. Azita had previously hinted that his reluctance to cooperate with headquarters was because they were cooperating with the CIA.

It seemed that after the Hound Gang was destroyed, Azita had become a puppet of the CIA, completely becoming the CIA’s button man in the Otherworld. That was why he was sent to this godforsaken place, preparing to rendezvous with Fu’en who was about to return to the Otherworld.
