Chapter 1048

"Which is why we need to locate the manual detonators and think of a way to get rid of those as well." Everyone exchanged looks for a moment before Gloria said, "If this manual detonator is somewhere inside their base, we could blow the entire place apart and the detonator along with it. But if it's outside the base, it'll be a lot more troublesome because we’d have no way of finding out where it is." That was true. They needed to be absolutely sure if they wanted the plan to go off without a hitch. The slightest misstep would cause their mission to end in failure. Right at that moment, Mya's eyes twinkled. She snapped her fingers and said, "If we kidnap their leader, they wouldn't dare detonate the switch and blow the entire island apart." Everyone agreed with her idea. It seemed like their only option was to get their leader to stay behind on the island. Adrian seemed to have thought of something and said, "Crystal, can you find out just how many of the Eight Hollows are on the island?" Crystal replied, "There's just one. Adrian, Mya's idea is a good one, but it'll be rendered mute if the other seven don't mind sacrificing one of their own just to kill you." Adrian had thought about this as well. “It’s our only option, and it's one I'm willing to gamble on. We don’t have much time. We have to move now." He toward his men. "I'm going to assign your tasks for this next mission. Remember, we’ll die here if we fail, so we have to succeed no matter what." "What do we have to do, sir? Just give us the order." "Lucas, you stay here and lead the others in case something unexpected happens. I need you to wait for our instructions, understand?" "I want to go with you. Why don't you have Gloria stay behind instead? She's far more intelligent than me." Adrian shook his head. "Gloria's body is different from ours, and I've noticed how excellent her stamina is during our time on the island. I need her to rush to the enemy base for recon duty. That's why I need you to stay here and lead the unit. Hearing this, Lucas accepted his orders and said, "Yes, sir." "Steel, select ten men who are uninjured and strong. Their mission is to decide whether to destroy the enemy's generator or their base, depending on the situation." "Yes, sir, I won't fail you." Adrian nodded. "What about yourself?" Lena asked. "I'm going to kidnap that Eight Hollows as our insurance. Gloria, I need you to get there as quickly as you can and find out what's going on. Mya, choose ten men who are capable of multiple tasks. Their mission is to stay prepared to face whatever happens that's out of our original plan. Also, Blaze, take ten with you and back up Steel's mission in case anything delays their progress." "Yes, sir!" After that, Adrian turned toward Ivy and said, "Select ten of your sisters and be ready to take over Blaze's mission if anything happens to him. Otherwise, you ladies will follow the rest and play it by ear. "All squads, spread out in teams of twos and get past the rainforest as quickly as you can. Do what you think is best should you come across any enemies. You must reach your designated positions in time."
