Tranquil Garden

5 hours ago.

The Reality Enhancement Squad has arrived in a completely new world.

This process was like Captain Ning teleporting, but everyone knew that Captain Ning hadn't activated his ability in that instant.

At this moment, the team members looked on with curiosity and disbelief, but at the same time remained cautious.

The scene before them was a lush green park.

On both sides are neatly trimmed shrubs, interspersed with white Shitou paths that meander and intersect.

The sun was shining brightly overhead.

The air around us was fresh.

This place is tranquil and pleasant, like a landscape masterpiece created by a renowned garden designer.

The team members exchanged glances.

Is this the enemy's base?

It's very different from what I imagined!

From Xiao Ning's 'perspective', this is a strange continent, with cracks all over the ground, and thick black smoke constantly rising from the cracks, making it eerie and terrifying.

Hui lowered his body and observed cautiously for a moment.

The area here is vast, but there are no traces of human activity, no technological detectors, and the view extends to the end of the garden, with no buildings in sight.

Hui turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Ning, "Captain Ning, next..."

At that very moment.

A scream rang out.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a team member whose hands had been severed at some point. He was holding up his remaining forearms, screaming as he backed away.

The wound on his arm was very clean, without any blood, and the muscles, arteries, and bones were clearly visible on the cut surface.

Xiao Ning suddenly frowned, "Control him, don't let him move around!"

Hui immediately led the two men to the boy, restrained his body, and continuously comforted him.

Before we could even figure out what was going on, another scream rang out!

For the same unknown reason, a team member a few meters away had his thigh severed diagonally, causing him to sway and fall to the ground.

His wound remained bizarre, a straight cut without blood. The cut revealed the flesh and bone inside his thigh, and the massive wound seemed to have been sealed with a protective membrane at the very moment it was cut.

Someone cried out in terror, "It's a trap!"

"Don't panic!"

Xiao Ning frowned. "Don't move! As long as you don't move, you won't trigger the mechanism!"

Everyone suddenly froze, no one daring to move an inch.

Suddenly, many flowers bloomed in the garden, growing rapidly and spreading from the lawn to the path where everyone was standing. Some flowers held up their branches and swayed gently in the air.

A female team member's long hair was blown by the wind and suddenly touched the flowers. Instantly, a blue beam of light descended from the sky and cut off the girl's hair.

She slightly opened her eyes. "Touching any one of the plants will trigger a mechanism."

The flowers throughout the garden were growing slowly, with some extending to the front of the team members' eyes, less than 2 centimeters away from their eyeballs.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, too afraid to move.

The attack was so fast, it felt even faster than human consciousness could react, cutting everything in an instant.

Fortunately.

Those flowers, after growing to a certain extent, then lay dormant.

But the once clean and straight path is now covered with thorns, leaving very little room for people to move around.

Xiao Ning remained calm. "The ' Notch-Shaped Formation ' differs from other formations in that its most distinctive feature is that once the enemy breaks through the ' Notch-Shaped Formation ' and rushes into the Faction, they will find that within the ' Notch-Shaped Formation ' lies another ' Notch-Shaped Formation '!"

Hui's expression shifted, "Matryoshka dolls?"

Xiao Ning nodded slightly, "We haven't reached the enemy's base yet. This is the second layer of the ' Notch-Shaped Formation '!"

Like all his teammates, Hui had beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Everyone."

"Follow my command, rearrange your formation to break the enemy's lines."

Xiao Ning lowered her head, "Here, we have no pieces that can move. I guess the key to breaking the formation is everyone's positioning; everyone is the 'pawn' to break the formation!"

Everyone nodded silently.

Through previous collaborations, everyone's trust in Xiao Ning has reached a tacit understanding.

"These flowers are intricately intertwined; they're like laser detectors. A slight mishap could trigger an attack, so we must be extremely careful!"

Xiao Ning didn't hesitate, "Number 3, move forward..."

The team members resumed their operation.

But everyone remained silent, controlling every movement to a very small extent, their expressions so cautious it was as if they were defusing a bomb right in front of them, not daring to be the slightest bit careless!

Unidentified flowers sway gently along the maze-like path.

No matter how careful you are, someone will still touch the flower, or the soft, fine hairs on it.

The attack arrived instantly, leaving no time to react.

Some team members had large chunks of flesh cut off, some had their fingers cut off, and several had limbs severed.

But they gritted their teeth and didn't make a sound. No matter how intense the pain was, they forcibly controlled themselves and didn't make any violent movements.

There were so many flowers that they blocked the way and surrounded almost everyone.

The movement was slow, and finally, after two hours, everyone reached the designated location, but the entire team was badly injured.

Xiao Ning clenched her fists.

The cost of breaking through the formation was too high.

The method to break the formation must work!

Finally, at this moment.

A blue halo appeared beneath everyone's feet, and everyone's eyes widened.

But then everything around them—the bushes, the path, and the lush flowers—suddenly turned into blue code. Then, as if refreshed, all the code flew eastward and eventually vanished into the void.

Everyone clearly felt that the sensation of teleportation was about to occur again.

Xiao Ning's brows relaxed.

But in the instant before everyone was moved,

Suddenly, Hui's questioning voice reached Xiao Ning's ears, "Captain Ning, you left behind a straw doll? But that doll turned into code and was refreshed!"

Xiao Ning frowned instantly.

not good.

That was a hint I left for Brother Yiguan.

The Brother Yiguan had no idea that the "Notch-Shaped Formation" had two layers!
