"Of course not, that’s too passive. If the Program Team comes here without knowing, they’ll be discovered by the hired mercenaries."
Austin shook his head; they couldn’t just wait blindly, nor could they simply sit and wait for death. It seemed as if he thought of something, he glanced at Tang Shu who was at the very back.
"Shu, since you’ve managed to get two cell phones, you should be able to get a signal booster too. Did you find anything yesterday?"
As an ancient being... she truly didn’t recognize it at all, not even in the original host’s memory did this thing exist.
"Sorry, I don’t recognize it."
"We do recognize it, but if we’re going to approach the beach, we need to plan."
The three professional adventurers on the other side knew enough about this, since they often used it themselves.
"We can only save ourselves now, we’ll contact the Program Team first."
Andre was responsible for copying several versions of the map from Tang Shu’s notebook for backup, and the others started planning how to make contact. Everyone unanimously decided to wait until it was dark to act.
At night, when the moon climbed higher, the four of them were ready.
Geng Qiuqiu was pulling at Tang Shu, hesitating, "Are you really going?"
"Yeah, don’t worry, I’ll ensure my own safety first."
Tang Shu reassured for what seemed the umpteenth time. Seeing her still worried, she quietly approached Geng Qiuqiu.
"Don’t worry, I’ve brought knockout drugs and silver needles. If something unexpected happens, I’ll be able to handle them."
Geng Qiuqiu wanted to say that those things aren’t as quick as their guns, but she swallowed the words in the end.
"You have to be careful and not charge forward."
Tang Shu’s mouth twitched, was she the reckless type?
Austin and Andre got ready, Yin Dong patted Tang Shu on the back, and the four of them walked out of the cave.
By the time they approached the beach, it had been about forty minutes later.
"There are a total of four patrolling outside. According to Xiao Shu’s scouting, they switch every two hours. Should we wait for them to switch?"
"Yes, are you sure you got the cell phones from the third tent?"
"After we get the signal booster, we’ll withdraw. There’s no point in a head-on confrontation with them. As for the five members of the Program Team inside, let’s wait until we’ve contacted our people."
Four people against sixteen mercenaries; winning was simply impossible.
The team hid not far from the beach for about half an hour, and the patrol started to change shifts around 2 a.m.
The waves on the moonlit beach followed one another, and the sounds came in waves, well covering up some of the noise.
As the four people responsible for the patrol entered the tent, the team quickly split into two groups heading for the third tent. Tang Shu and Yin Dong formed one team for backup, while the other two were responsible for finding the signal booster.
"I hope everything goes smoothly..."
Five minutes later, Tang Shu saw Austin’s figure in the moonlight, and two kilometers away, inside the cave, one of the cell phones made a ding-dong sound.
Geng Qiuqiu jumped up happily, "There’s a signal! The Program Team has responded!"
At 2 a.m., they had little hope when sending the message, only hoping for a night owl to be awake. They never expected someone to respond.
