Song Lili already had a plan in mind when they bound them with hemp ropes.
Besides the dagger, she also had a radio device hidden in her underwear, which was uncomfortable but luckily foresighted for situations like this.
She tucked the dagger and radio device into her sleeve, flushed the toilet, pulled up her pants, and exited the bathroom.
While waiting for Shen Lingxi, she surveyed the surroundings.
This base was at best a temporary military base, adequate only for carrying out tasks and providing a foothold during actual combat drills.
A room for holding prisoners was adjacent to a small, square house, through whose window one could faintly see Zheng Caisheng handling the weapons on the table...
Those were the guns and cold weapons taken from them.
Song Lili had two objectives for leaving her room: to deduce the location of their confiscated weapons after observing her surroundings and to retrieve the hidden dagger and radio device.
Luckily, she achieved both objectives.
Not only that, before heading back, Shen Lingxi said to Song Lili,
"Let’s cooperate."
She was montarily stunned, and Shen Lingxi had already returned to her original position.
"I warn you, don’t get any funny ideas! Captain Zheng is kind-hearted and doesn’t want to hurt you. Just stay here peacefully for forty hours, and you’ll all be freed after the selection."
After the soldier finished speaking, he left and closed the door.
"Xiao Hua..."
Lin Xinglan looked at her with hopeful eyes, and not only Lin Xinglan, but Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi also looked at her with similar expressions, as if they knew she must be scheming sothing...
After pursing her lips and raising her eyes, Shen Lingxi was also seriously looking at her now, without any resentnt or anger in her eyes.
She took a deep breath, slightly stretched out her foot, and Qing Luo, who was most alert, noticed Song Lili’s toes rhythmically tapping the ground.
Morse code was not a particularly profound knowledge; its success in discreetly conveying secret ssages in many situations was simply because most people’s observation skills were limited, and Morse code had too many variable transmission thods.
For instance, in this room of twelve people, nine could understand Morse code, but only Qing Luo and another lean tall boy nad Feng Hua noticed that Song Lili was conveying a secret ssage using Morse code and could understand it.
Bian Yiyi and Lin Xinglan knew that Song Lili was using Morse code again, but frustratingly, they couldn’t understand it!
While her feet kept moving, her hands were also busy, with arms behind her back, the sleeve-hidden radio device slid out. She took a deep breath and tapped another set of codes into the transmission mic of the device.
This act... was nothing but a gamble now.
She was betting that Cal and Liu Fan were still unconscious and undiscovered in that mountain ravine cave.
After Qing Luo finished reading the ssage transmitted by Song Lili, he nodded.
Sitting diagonally opposite, Feng Hua had also finished reading, but what he hadn’t expected was that Song Lili had noticed him.
When he looked up, he t Song Lili’s inquiring gaze.
Feng Hua blinked, indicating he had received the ssage and would cooperate.
Song Lili hadn’t pinned her hopes on the eight others who ca later, but having soone to cooperate could only be advantageous.
She kept repeating the sa Morse code segnt on the wireless communication device...
After tapping for about four to five minutes, she put the device down and began cutting her ropes with the dagger. After freeing herself, she passed the dagger to Lin Xinglan...
Suddenly, a form of tacit understanding erged amongst everyone in the room, as Qing Luo and Feng Hua received Song Lili’s information and relayed it to those around them...
Everyone’s attitude changed, because no one wanted to lose here!
