So, given the special circumstances now, I must evacuate as soon as possible!
And you... you tell your evacuation plan and route, let use it first! Take my intelligence back, that’s the top priority now!"
Chen Yan thought for a mont, then said slowly, "I don’t have an evacuation plan or route... don’t you not have one either? Like you, after coming in, I had to wait for subsequent support to co, so I also don’t have a way to leave here now."
"...%￥&...(*&" Du Li suddenly cursed a few tis fiercely, the profanity he used was sothing Chen Yan didn’t understand, probably so slang from the Domain Realm.
Du Li’s face was full of disappointnt, he grabbed his hair vigorously, then paced anxiously in place a few steps.
Finally, he suddenly raised his head: "We can’t wait any longer! I’ll be sold out in at most two days! By then, there will be no chance to leave! We must evacuate imdiately!"
Du Li stared at Chen Yan: "According to warti regulations, with the principle of prioritizing high-value targets, I now requisition you as my auxiliary evacuation personnel!
We will each state our mission goals and findings. If it’s determined my findings have higher value, you will be integrated and assist in evacuating imdiately!"
Chen Yan did not refuse, nodding, "Okay."
"You go first with your mission." Du Li looked coldly at Chen Yan.
"I..." Chen Yan took a deep breath: "The population of this village, the number of their tribe’s villages, estimate their total population, estimate total transaction inco, the scale of their armants — finally calculate their war potential. My infiltration is a long-term plan."
While Chen Yan was saying this, his heart was pounding.
Of course, he was making things up, but this was already the most reliable nonsense he could think of.
Saying anything else felt like it might reveal flaws.
Fortunately, Du Li just gave a strange look at Chen Yan, frowning: "What are those guys above doing... wasn’t this kind of data collected once already last year? Damn, those guys sitting on the Immortal Platform making plans don’t treat us frontline people’s lives as lives at all?
This kind of number, does it need to be gathered every one or two years? How many lives have to be exchanged each ti!"
Chen Yan remained expressionless, speaking lightly: "Soone always has to do these things."
In his heart, he was relieved, this Du Li might be complaining, but didn’t suspect him.
Du Li nodded, his tone becoming serious: "Thus, your mission value is far less than my findings!"
He looked at Chen Yan, speaking slowly: "My original mission is unnecessary to tell you, anyway, I didn’t complete it... However, I accidentally found out sothing more important."
"What?"
"About the Divine Tree!" Du Li’s eyes were gleaming, his tone also sowhat excited: "The Fierce Beast Race’s Divine Tree! Highest-value intelligence in the war departnt! I found out so information about the Divine Tree situation, so..."
Chen Yan was shocked in his heart!
That Divine Tree Juice is extraordinary in its effects and indeed, very tempting! From any angle, its value is extrely high!
"Your value is higher, I’ll follow your lead." Chen Yan straightforwardly nodded.
This was part of his plan all along — finding a way to escape through Du Li.
He didn’t want to incorporate Du Li and take the lead himself — he very clearly understood he didn’t have this ability and wasn’t familiar enough with the situation here.
It’s best to let Du Li take the lead.
"Do you have an evacuation plan?" Chen Yan slowly said, "I’ve only been here for six days, you’re more familiar and knowledgeable about the place."
"I’ve thought of a plan, but it’s also very risky." Du Li sighed: "Given the current situation, it’s do or die."
Saying this, Du Li went close to Chen Yan, crouched on the ground, picked up a stick, and started drawing on the ground.
He was drawing a terrain map.
Given the limitations, it was drawn very roughly, but because of that simplicity, Chen Yan could understand it.
"The village is here, heading eastward, you’ll cross two ridges, beyond which is a large forest area.
Between the two mountain ridges was originally a river, now it’s the freezing period, the river is frozen, which instead becos our opportunity to escape, we can walk over the ice, crossing the two ridges into the forest area behind the mountains.
Then, keep going, walking for about six or seven days — if everything goes smoothly, and we are lucky enough to survive!
We will finally erge from the forest.
From what I know, in the no-man’s land at the border, there are a lot of our Reconnoitre Army scouts wandering around; once we exit the forest, that area is right where both sides make contact, if we are lucky, we might encounter a squad of our scouts who can take us back!
If we are not lucky, we might run into the enemy scouts..."
Chen Yan didn’t speak, silently watching this rough map.
Du Li slowly said: "So, it’s a gamble with our lives! During our escape, we might be pursued and caught. In the dense forest, we might get lost, encounter wild beasts, and then there’s the severe cold and thirst... any of these can take our lives!
Even those two ridges, if we encounter tribal groups of the Fierce Beast Race in the mining districts on the mountains, we’re dood.
Even if everything goes smoothly, with us being lucky enough to run to our ultimate destination and erge from the forest.
But there, hoping to et our scouts is indeed a gamble.
Only with good luck will we encounter them; with bad luck, we’ll encounter the enemy scouts.
Or more likely, we encounter nothing, and then wait to die there!"
Without hesitation in his heart, Chen Yan nodded: "Let’s do it, anyway, this is the only option, there’s nothing to dwell on."
