"Yes, they've all split up too and are lying in ambush at various locations according to plan." As she spoke, Liu Jialin pointed at the surrounding wilderness. "See? You can't tell anything's wrong from here, can you?"
Lin Li looked in the direction she indicated. The surroundings were still nothing but desolate fields. Apart from wild grass and a few scattered trees, there was nothing else.
He couldn't help feeling puzzled. That secret laboratory was hidden extremely well. If he had to search for it himself, he probably wouldn't find it even if he spent his whole life looking.
Liu Jialin seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and explained with a smile, "The secret laboratory isn't actually located here. I chose this place as our meeting point to prevent them from detecting us in advance.
"There are their hidden sentries around the laboratory. Getting too close would make us easy to expose."
Lin Li suddenly understood. He nodded, then asked, "Are we launching the attack immediately, or waiting for the right opportunity?"
Liu Jialin walked over to a pine tree and reached out to touch its rough bark. Her expression grew serious. "We're only waiting for the leaders' order now.

"A spiritual artifact that can seal off a vast area?" Lin Li's eyes lit up at her words.
He had never seen a spiritual artifact capable of sealing off such a large area, and anticipation immediately filled his heart. "What exactly does this spiritual artifact look like? Is it powerful?"
Liu Jialin smiled and deliberately kept him in suspense. "You'll know soon enough.
