"What do we do now?" White Wolf glanced towards the harbor, where dozens of massive searchlights illuminated the area as brightly as day. Several armed guards were vigorously searching the spot where the two had just been.
"How should I know? We can't contact anyone right now!" Lion Brother replied irritably. When they were at the Gun Shop, they had to leave behind much of their gear due to time constraints, and there was no time to locate what they needed. Moreover, they had no communication devices on them to reach Chen Rui and the others, as they had entered this dream for a competition and were left with nothing but their military uniforms.
"What now? At this rate, they'll be here in about ten minutes! That would really be a problem!" White Wolf frowned slightly, watching the advancing harbor guards in the distance.
It wasn't that they couldn't maneuver around the guards; it was mainly because another group was also eyeing the weapons and equipment within the harbor. They were unsure if they had already been exposed to this other group, making any rash counterattack an unwise plan. However, staying too far from the harbor would make it difficult to support Chen Rui's actions, leaving both of them in a dilemma.
Lion Brother stared at the harbor guards for a moment. "Don't move. They shouldn't be able to advance much further. After all, if they get too far from the harbor, their defensive strength will be truly compromised."
Sure enough, after searching without results, the guards slowly retreated back to the harbor. However, it was evident that the defenses at the harbor gate had been significantly reinforced, with barricades set up to prevent any vehicular assaults.
"Now we just wait and watch!" Lion Brother set up his sniper rifle and adjusted the magnification, focusing on the main entrance of the harbor.

"You should help out too!" Tiger complained breathlessly as he saw Chen Rui leaning against the warehouse door. "All you do is make us do the hard work. This warehouse is so big; how long will it take to search through all these boxes?"
"Are you stupid? Just open a box and take a look inside. If we find an Ammunition box, we’ll be close to finding the explosives," Chen Rui shot Tiger an exasperated look. He was currently searching at a slow pace and still had the nerve to complain.
Hearing Chen Rui's words, Fox shook his head with a wry smile. "Staying with you for too long really isn't good for me; I might develop a habit of not thinking."
"Is that my fault?" Chen Rui shrugged and spread his hands innocently.
Fox quickly walked over to a wooden box on the right side of the Shooting Range indoors and opened it, revealing golden bullets inside.
"You idiot! If you knew where it was, why didn't you say so earlier?" Tiger laughed as he patted Fox on the back and began searching nearby for wooden boxes that might contain explosives or bombs.
Fox glanced at Chen Rui and grinned. "Blame him!"
"Found it! Over here!" The Elephant General moved the next wooden crate and opened the lid, revealing four rectangular blocks wrapped in yellow paper, quietly lying on a straw mat inside.
"My goodness! They actually have this stuff! Its power is no less than n! The warhead on the Missile must be filled with this, right?" The big dog picked up one of the blocks and toyed with it, completely unconcerned that this toy could level the entire warehouse.
"H Explosive is not just some high-power Missile warhead; you can bet that any anti-tank weapon or rocket propellant will have this stuff involved!" The Elephant General took the H Explosive from the big dog's hands and placed it back in the wooden box.
"What’s the deal? This thing is way safer than n; can’t I at least take a look?" The big dog complained, looking at the Elephant General as if he were a boy who had just had his toy snatched away.
Chen Rui leaned in for a closer look and smiled slightly. "Alright, they just don’t want to waste time; they’re preparing to retreat!"
"Retreat already?"
"H Explosive isn’t just for your usual purposes; its most efficient use is as a detonator for nuclear weapons! This is exactly what we’re looking for! Everyone take four blocks each! Prepare to retreat!" Chen Rui pulled out a box of H Explosive and stuffed four blocks into his pockets and around his waist, looking excited.
Tiger shivered at the thought of carrying H Explosive. If something went wrong, they could be blown away! "No way! This is way too dangerous!"
The Elephant General also tucked four blocks of H Explosive into his waistband and asked with a grin, "What do you want to do then? Find a sack and put them all together? Goodness! If one goes off, that would be catastrophic! Twenty-eight blocks weighing five pounds each? That would really give you a taste of flying!"
Seeing that everyone was ready, Chen Rui slowly opened the warehouse door and confirmed that there was still no one outside before quickly slipping out.
The four followed closely behind him. Although Chen Rui sometimes took longer routes, it was understandable for safety's sake.
Suddenly, Chen Rui raised his left fist, and the entire team immediately halted, all their guns aimed at the front of a nearby shipping container.
"Someone's here!" Chen Rui whispered.
"Patrol team?" Tiger frowned. "Why are they still waiting here if they ran into a patrol team? We need to find somewhere to hide!"
"Not a patrol team! Patrols operate in pairs, and those footsteps just now were definitely from at least four people!" Chen Rui lowered his gun and lightly called out ahead, "Friends, stop hiding! Come out!"
There was no response, not a single sound. The silence was eerie, unsettling enough to feel unnatural.
"Stop hiding! You want to get through here quickly too, right? So why are you dragging this out?" Chen Rui urged impatiently.
Suddenly, the front door of the container swung open, and four agile Foreign Special Forces soldiers burst out. Although they rushed forward with their guns aimed at Chen Rui and his team, they did not fire.
"What are you doing here..."
"Why are you here!"
The two voices rang out simultaneously—one from Chen Rui and the other from a Black Special Forces Soldier who had exchanged military honors with him.
"Brother, how did you end up in the dreamscape too? And joining the Chinese 6th Special Forces? I don't think you're actually part of their ranks," the Black Special Forces Soldier said with a polite smile, though he kept his gun trained on Chen Rui, his finger still resting on the trigger, ready to shoot at any moment.
"I wanted to come, so I came," Chen Rui replied. His words might have sounded harsh or even arrogant, but they were indeed the truth. The fact was that he wanted to be there... so he was!
"Wait! You're a staff member of the Organizer! How can you interfere with the competition? This is against the rules!" The Black Special Forces Soldier suddenly recalled seeing Chen Rui when he entered Conference Room One. Although he couldn't be entirely sure of his identity or position, it was clear that he was staff hired by the Organizer.
Chen Rui pressed down on the guns held by his team. "I don't want to take you out here directly because I still need you for a while longer. So could you do me this favor?"
The Black Special Forces Soldier chuckled lightly. "You think disarming us will make us let our guard down?" With that, he clicked off the safety on his gun, ready to fire.
Chen Rui smiled as he pulled out a small device and tossed it to the soldier. The soldier caught it and looked at it in shock, his eyes nearly popping out as sweat began to bead on his palm gripping the gun.
"We're all equipped with these things! We’ll need them shortly. Of course, if you decide to open fire on us, I believe this device's power will give you a taste of what it feels like to fly like a bird!"
The Black Special Forces Soldier tossed the item back into Chen Rui's hands and slowly lowered his handgun. "You're impressive! So, what do you want us to help you with?"
Chen Rui urged urgently, "This isn't the place for a long discussion. I need somewhere we can talk, and I want to speak with your commander! We need to leave here quickly; we've already got what we wanted."
The Black Special Forces Soldier nodded and signaled to the others. They quickly ran toward Chen Rui but were halted by him.
"Don't go that way. If you want to get out, follow us!" Chen Rui led everyone toward the spot where they had climbed over the wall. Since the location wasn't crucial, there were no fixed watch posts, and the large insulating cloth still hung over the electric fence.
Watching Elephant General, Tiger, and the others skillfully scale the wall, the Black Special Forces Soldier couldn't help but shake his head. "Is this how you got in?"
The Fox replied in confusion, "Yeah! Isn't that how you did it?"
"We used people to draw the guards' attention and then slipped in during the chaos. It was easier for us to get in than it seems for you now," the Black Special Forces Soldier said with a wry smile as he glanced at the intense lights coming from the main gate.
"Stop wasting time; we need to move! They should be coming back soon!" Chen Rui urged as he noticed shadows moving toward them in the distance, hastening their pace to climb over the wall.
Once outside the port, Chen Rui and Elephant General arrived at the Black Special Forces Soldier's safe house. The conditions were certainly not as good as those of Elephant General's previous place, but having a place to rest was enough for everyone not to complain openly.
"Alright! Now we can talk," the Black Special Forces Soldier said as he brought his five White Special Forces Soldiers before Chen Rui and his group. His stance indicated that he was in charge of this unit.
Chen Rui nodded, ready to get straight to the point without further small talk. "Due to some special circumstances, the competition was terminated before it even began. As for why you're still trapped in this dream now, that's where the problem lies!"
