"I was kidnapped by the R nation."
Tang Li found Tang Guo and told her about it.
Seeing Tang Guo looking confused, Tang Li explained, "My clone in Jiangcheng was kidnapped by the R nation."
"For the next few days, I'll likely be busy dealing with the R nation and finding the main base of the Holy Light Organization. I'll leave the affairs of F City Base to you."
Tang Guo nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
She then added with concern, "Be safe!"
Tang Li then found Lu Wan and others, telling them that she had found a clue about the R nation and was preparing to deal with them.
Lu Wan and others, who had invasive brain-computer interfaces installed and their memories altered, especially those whose families might have died at the hands of the 'Heavenly King Gang', had always wanted revenge on the R nation, the perpetrator.
Upon hearing that Tang Li had a clue about the R nation, they all expressed their willingness to assist Tang Li and fight the R nation together.
However, at this time, the R nation had not yet reached that staircase, and Tang Li did not know the location of the Holy Light Organization's main base, so she did not act immediately.
She first had them continue to insert the quantum signal transmitters into the invasive brain-computer interface ports on their heads, as they had done that morning, controlling thirty wireless brain-controlled robots wearing masks and cloaked in black robes.
The obsolete items collected by the "Apocalypse Mall" over the past two days were loaded onto thirty-one large trucks.
Then, Tang Li herself put on a mask and a black robe, and together with Lu Wan and others, drove these thirty-one trucks out of F City Base.
As expected, they were being followed.
After eliminating the followers, Tang Li found a secluded spot and retrieved the thirty-one trucks, along with the obsolete items and the thirty wireless brain-controlled robots, into her space.
Without changing her disguise, she found another secluded spot and replicated another thirty wireless brain-controlled robots and thirty-one large trucks.
The trucks were loaded with the ordered goods received by the "Apocalypse Mall" today.
These were originally scheduled to be delivered tomorrow morning.
However, for the upcoming period, Tang Li's main body would personally go to the main base of the Holy Light Organization, and she anticipated being quite busy. Therefore, she decided to deliver these goods in advance.
"Miss Tang, are you really planning to go to the R nation's lair yourself?"
Tang Li contacted Song Pinxuan via quantum communication, informed him about her clone being kidnapped by the R nation, and revealed her intentions.
"Of course, it's true. And I'm not going alone; I'll be taking many people with me," Tang Li replied.
"But this way... it's very dangerous!"
Hearing Song Pinxuan's words, Tang Li smiled and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger cub?"
"Don't worry, I value my own life more than anyone else and won't do anything too dangerous."
Hearing Tang Li's words, Song Pinxuan was not reassured at all.
No matter how much time had passed, he could not forget the image of Tang Li dying tragically in his precognitive dream.
Although many things had now been changed by him, making them different from the dream, Song Pinxuan was still uneasy.
"Perhaps... we should let the military handle it? You shouldn't put yourself in danger."
"We don't know how powerful the forces behind the R nation are."
Tang Li quickly said, "Absolutely not!"
"My clone hasn't reached the R nation's main base yet. If you inform the military now, it's bound to leak the news."
"If the R nation becomes vigilant beforehand and doesn't take my clone to their main base, that would be terrible!"
Song Pinxuan then asked, "Then what if we inform the military after your clone reaches the R nation's main base?"
Tang Li replied, "In the end, this matter must be handled by the military. The reason I'm calling you is also for this purpose."
"However, it takes time for the military to assemble armed forces. Until then, I might not do anything and just watch. Don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Song Pinxuan pursed his lips and said no more.
After ending the call with Song Pinxuan, Tang Li called Zhong Heng, Peng Yue, Bai Xunyang, Lin Xi, and others, asking them to be prepared to mobilize the mercenary guild's combat teams at any time.
In addition to the initial 13 combat groups of the "United Team," the other small combat teams that joined later were also fully mobilized and ready to go.
Concurrently, over ten thousand people were meticulously selected from the more than one hundred thousand residents of F City Base, forming an armed force that was regularly fed with ample food and underwent various training.
Having nurtured soldiers for a thousand days, they were now deployed for duty.
Within a few hours, almost everyone noticed that the atmosphere in F City Base had become serious.
Meanwhile, in the Jiangcheng shelter's exchange, members of the Holy Light Organization had already arrived at the staircase where Xu Xin Yue and Tang Li's clone were located...
