A squadron of drones lined up, returning from the mountain ravine, continuously taking in returning drones along the way until they reached the open space before the mountain pass, where they hovered mid-air and then descended one by one.
At the same time, the drones that were fully charged launched and flew into the sky as planned.
The commander responsible for these small drone operations checked the returning drones with his subordinates. Once confirming there were no issues, he ran to the command vehicle in front, shouted "Report," and said, "The target area has been fully searched, nothing found."
"Continue searching," the captain inside the command vehicle responded, then turned to Jiang Yuan and Xu Taining, saying, "In that case, the search of D3 is also completed."
"Then please advance the troops and continue searching forward," Xu Taining replied calmly.
"Yes." After confirming with his superior, the captain began giving orders.
Nearby, the Lieutenant Colonel coughed twice and said, "Director Xu, have you really decided not to search the mountain pass first? Based on our experience, once inside the mountains, the paths that people can take are actually limited. I’ve been to Liangming Mountain three times, and the mountain trails mostly run along the mountain pass. Only when reaching the main peak do you climb the ridge, and climbing the ridge is the easiest way to be spotted by drones..."
Xu Taining smiled and said, "Searching the mountain pass first is indeed a plan; it should be said it is a relatively efficient plan. But out of caution, I believe taking a step-by-step approach is better. I’m mainly worried about two issues. The first is that following the mountain pass makes it easy for us to thin out the line of troops, allowing the fugitive to slip through. The second is to guard against the fugitive hiding in caves or deep mountains and forests."
The Lieutenant Colonel furrowed his brow and said, "Aren’t you overthinking it? With this level of infiltration and wilderness survival capability, let alone these criminals, even the special forces in the army may not manage it—it would take some kind of top-tier soldier. Don’t be fooled by how many heroes in war history seem to accomplish these feats easily; those were all achieved over piles of dead bodies."
