Chapter 317: Invitation

The soldier handed Li Tianyu a satellite phone and said, "Captain, the Commander is on the line."

Li Tianyu took the phone and answered, "This is Li Tianyu."

"Have you arrived yet?" came a calm voice from the other end.

Li Tianyu glanced at the high fence powered by electricity and replied, "Almost. There is a high-voltage fence blocking the road. It will take some time to get there since we might need to take a detour."

There was a pause on the other end after he said that. Just as Li Tianyu thought the call had disconnected, the Commander spoke again, "Alright. Contact me after you have spoken with Captain Long."

Li Tianyu nodded and said, "Understood. I will try my best to convince him to help us."

"Good. I will await your good news." _{freēwebnovel.com}

"Yes, Sir."

After the call ended, Li Tianyu returned the satellite phone to the soldier. Noticing Li Tianyu's troubled expression, the soldier asked, "Captain, do you think we can complete this mission?"

Li Tianyu remained silent for a moment before replying, "I'm not sure. Captain Long is difficult to predict. He might agree to help us, or he might just turn us away."

The soldier clenched his fists and said, "I have heard Captain Long is a righteous and loyal man. If he knew our difficulties, he would definitely help us, right?"

Li Tianyu glanced at the soldier briefly but said nothing.

More than a year had passed since the world changed. In the past, he would have confidently said Long Yu would agree to help them. But now, it is hard to say what Long Yu will do.

Seeing no way to bypass the high-voltage fence, Li Tianyu returned to the military car with the soldier. Closing the door, he said to the driver, "Let's take a detour."

The soldier nodded, "Yes, sir."

In the morning, Shi Xuan woke up and went to the control room to check the surveillance footage from the previous night. While fast-forwarding the video, he noticed a military car approaching and slowed it down to normal speed.

As he watched, Li Tianyu got out of the military car, made a phone call, and then left.

Shi Xuan replayed the video, but it was too dark to read Li Tianyu's lips. After a moment of thought, he paused the footage and went to find Long Yu. In the training room, he found Long Yu and Yao Ran sparring.

"Captain, I think you need to see the surveillance footage from last night," he said.

Long Yu dodged a punch from Yao Ran and asked, "Why? Did something happen?"

Shi Xuan replied, "Li Tianyu came last night. He couldn't bypass the fence, so he turned back. I think he will try to find another way to reach this place. I also saw him making a call."

Long Yu paused when he heard this and said, "Ran Ran, let's stop here."

Yao Ran, breathing heavily, nodded. She took two towels out of her space, handed one to Long Yu, and wiped her sweat with the other.

Turning to Shi Xuan, she asked, "I thought we surrounded the mountain with the fence. Can Li Tianyu really get through from another route?"
