Qing Chen had gone to great lengths to capture the giants alive before, and now he had to figure out how to let them go. It was causing him quite a bit of trouble.
But the situation at the time had been that the A-Class airship had already established fire superiority. If Qing Chen had deliberately let them escape, he would definitely have been held accountable afterward.
Of course, he wanted to preserve as many forces hostile to the Kingdom of Roosevelt as possible. But if he had to choose between remaining undercover and killing or capturing the giants alive, he would choose the former.

First of all, communications at Outpost Base No. 9 had never been cut off. That ruled out someone digging up the military fiber-optic cables and setting up additional equipment outside the base.
In truth, military fiber-optic cables were not something one could casually dig up. If a contractor accidentally severed one, the process usually went like this: the cable was cut at 10:00 in the morning, the boss fled at 10:05, he was caught at 10:30, and his sentence was handed down at noon.

He first went down to the underground
