Luo Zheng, executing an urgent retreat, was unaware of the greater danger looming overhead. Even if he were aware, there was nothing he could do about it—this was inside Sam Country's borders. With no logistical support, they could only rely on themselves. After roughly two hours of rapid marching, they arrived at a mountain ridge. The terrain here was perilous, easy to defend but hard to attack. The troops were exhausted and urgently needed rest. Luo Zheng swiftly decided to rest on the spot, and the unit halted their advance.
The Mountain Eagle Team was tasked with vigilance. Everyone huddled under large trees to replenish food and restore strength. Meanwhile, Luo Zheng connected to the satellite and established communication with headquarters. Lan Xing's voice sounded in his earpiece: "Brother-in-law, this is a secret communications channel, accessible only to officers and above. Director Wu and the leader want to talk to you."
