But Zhou Rong was destined to be an obstacle, and you might not be willing to be a hostage, so I could only resort to this strategy.”
In other words, Tang Hao also couldn’t come up with a perfect plan. It was simply an impossible situation. Si Nan pondered for a moment and asked, “Where is Rommel? It’s not the mountain cave you let me enter, is it?”
Tang Hao said, “No, he’s behind the mountain slope on the opposite side… There’s only a pit I dug in that cave.” Si Nan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
As the sun gradually moved westward and the time passed noon, actions would become more difficult once darkness fell. Tang Hao signaled, “Let’s go.” Si Nan, however, remained standing: “No, this is purely suicide. White Eagle Base’s goal is to achieve racial optimization and an independent fortress in the post-apocalyptic world. They must firmly grasp the ultimate antibody. Rommel won’t give it up for me.”
“I know, but…”
“The moment you hand me over, he’ll immediately kill and silence everyone. Do you think you have any chance of winning against Rommel alone?”
Tang Hao retorted, “Are you going to say I’m weak?”
Si Nan said calmly, “Let Zhou Rong come, and we’ll figure it out together. If necessary, I’m willing to be a hostage. Or you can point your gun at me, and I’ll talk to Zhou Rong.”
Tang Hao stood motionless, and although his expression couldn’t be seen, his slightly rapid breathing exposed his hesitation.
“Actually, I don’t really think you’re weak. On the contrary, your performance has been quite remarkable,” Si Nan said, slightly turning his head while having a gun pointed at his temple. “But Rommel might have two subordinates with him. Against three, you have no chance of winning – if I’m not mistaken, Colonel Tang, you’ve already prepared to go down with them, haven’t you?”
Tang Hao’s cheek slightly protruded, his forehead slightly tense from clenching his back molars.
Si Nan looked at him, his gaze calm and steady: “Don’t try to sacrifice yourself alone. Zhou Rong is also a soldier. You should trust his integrity and ability.”
Tang Hao remained silent for a long time. Si Nan withdrew his gaze and called out loudly, “Zhou Rong!”
