Wu Yehao carefully considered his subordinate's suggestion.
After a moment of thought, he said, "It would take around one day to travel to Luocheng City by car under good road conditions, but with the darkness and the current state of the roads, it will take at least a few days."
The others exchanged glances but remained silent as Wu Yehao stared at the map, lost in thought.
After a while, he said, "Prepare to move. We will stop by the nearest checkpoint to restock supplies and ammunition before heading to Luocheng City."
"Yes, Captain," they responded.
Following his order, the team began packing their equipment and loading the baggage into the armored vehicles.
One of his subordinates approached him and asked, "Captain, what about the Eldest Young Lady? We only left two men to protect her, and we haven't secured her agreement to return to Yucheng Headquarters with us."
Wu Yehao frowned slightly at his words before replying, "Don't worry about her. I will call Yuechuan and have him take over this mission."
The subordinate nodded and returned to assist his teammates. Meanwhile, Wu Yehao stepped out of the tent and dialed Yao Yuechuan's number on his watch.
After a brief wait, Yao Yuechuan's voice came through. "Yehao, it is rare for you to call me."
"What were you doing? It took you nearly a minute to answer," Wu Yehao said.
Yao Yuechuan snorted at his words and asked, "Do you think I have nothing to do? I'm extremely busy over here, okay."
Ignoring his displeased tone, Wu Yehao explained, "I have located one of The Ark's secret laboratories in Luocheng City. I'm heading there now. Can you go to Juncheng Military Base and take over my mission?"
The urgency in Yao Yuechuan's voice was unmistakable as he replied, "Don't you dare go there without proper preparation! You are only taking a small team and didn't even have enough ammunition. You will be walking into a death trap if you go to Luocheng City now!" Sensing Yao Yuechuan's concern in his voice, Wu Yehao remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"Yuechuan, I have to go there before they destroy the data. It's been over half a month since I stole those files from Du Zhaoyi. By now, they likely know we have uncovered the secret laboratory's location."
"Which is exactly why you can't go unprepared! Don't you think it is weird that Gao Shuwei didn't take any action after you stole the information? With his character, he should have ordered the black wolves to hunt you down by now." Yao Yuechuan retorted.
After saying that, he quickly began typing on his laptop and then sent a file to Wu Yehao's watch. "Read this before you make any decisions."
A notification appeared on Wu Yehao's watch a few seconds later. He opened the document and read it carefully. As he finished, his expression darkened.
"So it's a trap to lure me there." He muttered, "Why did he want me to find this secret laboratory? What is his goal?"
