"Still searching!"

Chen Fei had received feedback from "Adam" that the monitoring system was still expanding its search.

Because the algorithm involved facial recognition, even a slight obstruction could disrupt identification, not to mention the numerous blind spots, so relying on nearly infinite computing power was not enough to solve the problem.

"How much longer will it take?"

Miyoshi Xuesen frowned slightly, as he did not want to make the trip for nothing.

Previously obtained intelligence indicated that Lin Zien was in this secret base deep in the rainforest.

"There are quite a few people inside; we can't confirm yet."

Surveillance cameras were almost everywhere, not only scattered throughout the nearby tropical rainforest, but also plentiful around the secret base and the neighboring tribal tourist spots, mostly outdoors, however, with few inside.

In Chen Fei's visual interface, the AI "Adam" was building a personnel list, tallying the number of humans and their movement trajectories inside and outside the secret base and tribal sights.

So far, over three thousand people had been identified, and the number was slowly increasing. Half of them were illegal armed militants, obviously tougher than the Angela Pharmaceutical Company that Chen Fei's Team 04 had dealt with in Siberia.

If Team 04 were to carry out this secret decapitation mission, it would probably be quite challenging.

After all, Adrian and his comrades' abilities were better suited for direct assault, not suitable for stealthy beheadings. Even sneaking in could easily expose them, and no matter how hard they fought, they couldn't overpower a thousand-plus armed militants.

"Understood!"

Miyoshi Xuesen tapped his bald head, knowing that they couldn't act rashly if there were a slip in intelligence, otherwise, they would startle the snake by hitting the grass.

Chen Fei and the others watched him, waiting for a new plan.

After a moment, the hesitant Miyoshi Monk finally made a choice. Among his ABCDEFG plans, there was already a contingency for Lin Zien unexpectedly leaving the base.

"We'll wait for a rabbit by a tree stump!" He paused, then continued, "The ninjas will continue to gather information."

It was fortunate that they hadn't let Second Brother flatten the place with a single shot; destroying the secret base was not the Huntsman Squad's task, as sovereignty would naturally handle it.

In front of sovereignty, even the smallest, thousands of private soldiers were just a slap away, and any big shot propping up the frame of sovereignty was definitely tough.

The Ninja Team, enhanced with Dark System Abilities, was completely familiar with gathering intelligence, perfectly suited for the current unexpected situation.

Half an hour later, "Adam" had tallied the number of humans and Magical Beasts at the secret base and tribal sights, totaling 3471 people and two Magical Beasts, with an additional fifty-plus people unconfirmed, and also detected four or five Ability Users. These low-level Ability Users scattered among the populace were merely a minor trouble for the Huntsman Squad; any member, be it the Ninja Team or Chen Fei, could easily take them down.

Miyoshi Xuesen's Ninja Team quickly verified "Adam's" reconnaissance report and even obtained more accurate intelligence, identifying personnel even the surveillance cameras couldn't confirm.

There were as many as 3609 people in two places, and not just two, but three Magical Beasts.

The one that "Adam" had failed to detect was a Dark Monster. If not for its low rank which almost led to its discovery by ninjas who stealthily infiltrated using Dark System Ability, the ninja who confirmed this intelligence narrowly escaped unharmed.

The Huntsman Squad wasn't too worried about this Dark Monster with stealth abilities, as their team also had a Light-element Magical Beast, Pure Light Sparrow.

Because of the opposing Elemental Energy, Xiao Jiu was especially sensitive to the low-rank Dark Element fluctuations of the similar low-rank Magical Beast.

Since "Adam" had taken control of the monitoring system spread throughout the rainforest, Miyoshi Xuesen's group seemed to vanish, comfortably stationed right under the secret base's nose waiting for the rabbit – waiting for Lin Zien to appear.

The monitoring of this part of the tropical rainforest wasn't only managed by the recently acquired monitoring system by "Adam", but also by Xiao Jiu's intermittently functional "Light Mirror Spell."

Since this spell often malfunctioned, Chen Fei always encouraged its use to compensate for the dead angles in the monitoring system.

As long as it wasn't a sealed environment completely isolated from the outside world, Xiao Jiu's "Light Mirror Spell" was even more handy than any ninja, except that it couldn't hear any sounds.

After waiting in the rainforest for three days, Lin Zien suddenly appeared, bringing a few tall, curvaceous beauties escorted by a group of armed personnel into the rainforest, seemingly preparing for a rainforest BBQ. Seated in several jeeps towing fully loaded trailers, they approached merrily and noisily.

The secret base and indigenous tribe were clearly active human areas, apart from ignorant snakes, worms, rats, and ants, hardly any wild beasts were seen. Perhaps there used to be, but they had been hunted clean; anything with a bit of brains wouldn't come close.

For the Huntsman Squad, who had been waiting diligently for a rabbit to hit the tree, it seemed that their patience had been unexpectedly rewarded without any need for effort.

Having presumably been cooped up in a secret base for too long, they called over a few friends and, it seemed, even brought along some tourists; everyone was having a blast in the nearby primal rainforest!

The barbecue spot arranged by the other party was close to the Huntsman Squad's camp, barely five kilometers away. Had it not been for the dense rainforest in between, they could virtually see each other.

Xiao Jiu, who had been diligently practicing, finally successfully executed the "Light Mirror Spell" and directed the vision to the barbecue camp. He saw two ninjas silently approaching a solitary armed militant on guard; one ninja suddenly appeared to draw attention, while the other struck from behind, snapping the militant's neck in an instant, then quickly changed into a set of jungle camouflage tactical armor and pretended to continue patrolling.

The body of the original guard was dragged deep into the rainforest and carelessly thrown into a pond, soon to become a pile of dismembered bones.

Then came the second armed militant, the Ninja Team, expert veterans at this task, operated smoothly without any rush.

In just a short while, the bustling barbecue stall saw an increasing number of secretly replaced armed militants, soon exceeding ten.

The ninjas not only donned the clothing and equipment of the armed militants but also altered their appearance to look exactly like the original militants and even mimicked some random chatter in their voices and habitual movements to an uncannily accurate degree.

"That's it? What else do we need to do?"

Seeing the Ninja Team nearly controlling half the barbecue area, Tuert, the Psychic Mage of the Ninth Human Order with a youthful appearance, frowned.

Should the ninjas choose this moment to burst forth, the prime target, who was currently distracted, mingling and embracing in the crowd, would likely fail to react timely and would be slain on the spot.

"No, these ninjas have been trained with great difficulty, and we must ensure absolute safety."

Miyoshi would never want to casually squander the ninjas he had finally assembled into a team, as they are not expendable but his most trusted and reliable aides.

"A ninja is approaching the barbecue stall."

Chen Fei saw a ninja disguised as an armed militant nearing the stalls, apparently quite tempted by the food.

From this angle, he could see the ninja's subtle motions as he sneakingly "added ingredients" to the barbecue, causing him to clap his hands in amazement.

This move deserves a 666!

"Emmm, poisoning, that's a viable move! Nothing for us to do now!"

Tuert immediately found it dull, as he had expected; Miyoshi's ninjas were indeed capable of completing the mission independently, leaving the rest of the team just to applaud from the sidelines.

Having unnecessarily wandered the rainforest for a whole week.

However, Miyoshi shook his head and said, "No, I need your cooperation, to be precise, to fabricate the scene."

This time was just a stroke of good luck that his ninjas caught the opportunity.

Andrew asked puzzledly, "There's no need to overdo it in killing, why bother?"

The others, too, nodded unanimously in agreement.

They had already killed; why stage more theatrics? Seemingly overly finicky!

"No, we can't alert the other targets listed."

The list in Miyoshi's hand contained more than just one name; all the targets were part of a group. If one of them suddenly died under unusual circumstances, it would undoubtedly alarm the rest, complicating the subsequent hunts.

As the team leader, he had to take this into consideration.

"Internal strife, an accident, or a mutant!"

Chen Fei provided the options. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
