When she returned to the command center, Jiang Yao went straight to the thatched cottage to look for Shao Fucheng.

“Colonel Shao, I’ve discovered something.”

She walked up to Shao Fucheng and pointed at the b.u.t.ton on her sleeve. She showed the thread sewn onto the b.u.t.ton and said, “The thread on our b.u.t.ton is yellow. Yours is green.”

Shao Fucheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yao in surprise. “You have good observation skills.”

Jiang Yao realized that he had already noticed, so she did not say anything else. When she heard Shao Fucheng praise her, she smiled and did not reply. Then, she left the thatched cottage.

The first thing Jiang Yao did when she returned to the tent was visit w.a.n.g Meiyu and Jing Mengjie. The threads on their b.u.t.tons were yellow like hers and Li Hong’s, Liu Chao’s was yellow while Wu Boyan and Zheng s.h.i.+bin’s were green.

Jiang Yao was a little puzzled. Even though she did not know what the difference in the color of the thread meant, it could not have been a coincidence. Different colors definitely meant different meanings.

Shao Fucheng did not leave the command center for the first three days. On the fourth night, when it was utterly dark, Shao Fucheng left the camp and took most of his men with him. That included the two communication soldiers in the thatched cottage, as well as Zheng s.h.i.+bin and Wu Boyan.

Once Shao Fucheng left, the number of people left in the command post immediately decreased. Then, Jiang Yao and the others gathered in the thatched cottage.

Six people were guarding the outside of the thatched cottage. Two soldiers in the thatched cottage stayed with Jiang Yao and the others. However, the two soldiers were like statues and did not make any sound since they entered the cottage.

“Hey, why did the Colonel take so many people away? When will he come back? Is he just going to leave us here? I heard that there are wolves in the mountains at night. Will we die if we encounter these wolves?”

Jing Mengjie shouted at the soldier. “I read in the books that wolves hunt in packs. The deeper they hide in the mountains and forests, the fiercer they are.”

“There are no wolves in the mountains. Scouts have been in the mountains for the past few days, and they haven’t seen any traces of wolves. So don’t worry. It’s very safe to stay here,” one of the soldiers said.

A university student would never win against a soldier in terms of survival in the wild. Even Jiang Yao believed the soldier.

“Then what about the Colonel and the others? Where did they go?” Liu Chao continued to ask, “They even carried such a large piece of equipment with them. Did they leave us here to cover for them so that they could move the base to another secret hiding place?”

The soldier looked at Liu Chao and said, “The Colonel went to ambush the Blue Team’s command center.”

Jiang Yao saw the soldier’s slightly blinking eyes, and some things instantly became clear to her.

He did not answer Liu Chao’s questions. Liu Chao must have been right.

Shao Fucheng probably felt they were a burden, so he left them here to provide cover for them.

However, since Shao Fucheng was prepared to leave them there to be sacrificial lambs, why did he take Wu Boyan and Zheng s.h.i.+bin with him?

Then, Jiang Yao suddenly reached out and pulled the sleeve on the soldier’s tag.

The soldier was shocked by Jiang Yao’s sudden action.. However, by the time he reacted, Jiang Yao had already retracted her hand and looked at him with a smile.
