Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

"I had no choice! They kidnapped my family to threaten me...If I didn't do what they said, my family's lives would be in danger!" Lao Zhang choked, tears rolling down his eyes, his voice full of helplessness and pain.

Lin Ze was silent for a moment, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He knew that Lao Zhang did not betray the team voluntarily, but was forced into a desperate situation by the enemy.

"Lao Zhang, I understand your situation, but no matter what, you should have told me earlier instead of bearing it all alone." Lin Ze looked at Lao Zhang, his tone serious but with a hint of sympathy.

Lao Zhang lowered his head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Lin Ze, I really don't know what to do... I'm afraid of losing my family, so I chose to compromise."

Lin Ze patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, Lao Zhang, let's work together to find a way to solve this problem. As long as you are willing to be honest with us, we can still trust you."

Lao Zhang was filled with gratitude and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Lin Ze, thank you for your understanding and tolerance. I will definitely make amends and make up for my mistakes."

Lin Ze nodded slightly, then said to Lao Zhang: "Well, in that case, you come back to the base with me and tell everyone everything about this matter. Maybe we still have a chance to find a solution to the problem."

Lao Zhang nodded silently, his eyes full of regret and self-blame. He knew that his behavior had caused great harm to the team, but he decided to use his actions to prove his sincerity and determination.

Afterwards, Lao Zhang followed Lin Ze back to the base. Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy. After returning to the base, Lin Ze summoned all the team members and brought Lao Zhang in.

When the other team members learned the whole story, they were shocked and indignant. They couldn't imagine that Lao Zhang had been subjected to such threats and pressure. But at the same time, they also expressed their willingness to lend a hand and help Lao Zhang overcome the difficulties.

The captain stood up, walked up to Lao Zhang, and said solemnly: "Lao Zhang, we are all family. Although you made a mistake, we believe you must have your reasons. As long as you are willing to correct it, we still welcome you back."

Lao Zhang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He bowed deeply to his teammates to express his gratitude. Then, he described the incident in detail and provided some important clues about the enemy.

Lin Ze listened carefully to Lao Zhang's narration, frowning. He realized that this incident was not just Lao Zhang's personal problem, but a challenge faced by the entire team. The enemy's methods were becoming more and more cunning, and they had to be more vigilant and protect the safety of every member.

Finally, Lin Ze encouraged everyone to unite and face difficulties together. He emphasized that only through unity and cooperation can we defeat powerful enemies. Everyone agreed and was determined to jointly protect the peace of the base.

Lao Zhang's confession not only let the team know the truth, but also regained everyone's trust. Although he had made mistakes before, he chose to face them bravely at the critical moment and contributed to the future of the team.

Next, they will work closely together to find a solution to ensure the safety of their families and completely destroy the enemy's conspiracy.

After listening to Lao Zhang's statement, Lin Ze decided to make a detailed plan to deal with the enemy's threat.

He assigned tasks to each team member, some were responsible for collecting more intelligence, and some were responsible for strengthening the security measures of the base.

Lin Ze himself led a small team to conduct an in-depth reconnaissance of the enemy.

A few nights later, Lin Ze and his team sneaked into the enemy's stronghold.

They carefully bypassed the guards and successfully obtained key intelligence.

However, during the retreat, they were unfortunately discovered and engaged in a fierce battle.

Lin Ze led his team to fight bravely, and finally escaped successfully and brought back important intelligence.

After returning to the base, Lin Ze immediately called all team members together and shared the intelligence he had just obtained.

According to intelligence, the enemy is planning a large-scale attack targeting the base.

Lin Ze knew that time was running out and there was no room for delay. He knew that if he failed to act quickly, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, he made a decisive decision - take the initiative!

He assembled a small team of the most elite warriors and ordered them to strike out quickly to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's supply line. This mission was crucial because cutting off the enemy's supply line could weaken their combat effectiveness and create favorable conditions for subsequent victory.

At the same time, Lin Ze also arranged another team to set up a tight defense line around the base to ensure the safety of the base. They had to take all possible defensive measures to deal with the enemy's attack.

As the battle approached, the entire base was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere. Everyone knew that this battle would be a test of life and death. But they were not intimidated by fear, but instead they were more determined to protect their homes and loved ones.

During the intense preparation period, Lin Ze personally participated in various preparations. He checked weapons and equipment, discussed tactical plans with the captains of each team, and boosted morale. He knew that as a leader, he must lead by example and bring confidence and courage to everyone.

The team members also performed their duties and worked closely together. Some were responsible for repairing equipment, some were busy storing ammunition, and some were studying maps to find the best strategic position. Their efforts and dedication made the base full of vitality.

Although the tension enveloped the entire base, everyone showed great tenacity and determination. They believed that as long as they united as one, they could overcome any difficulties. Facing the upcoming life-and-death battle, they were not afraid and resolutely threw themselves into this defense battle.

The night enveloped the earth, and stars twinkled in the darkness. Lin Ze stood quietly at the top of the base, staring into the distance with a sharp gaze. His heart was filled with a sense of mission and responsibility, as if the whole world was weighing on his shoulders.

He took a deep breath, feeling the cool night air, and then slowly exhaled. He knew that this might be the last time he would breathe such fresh air. Because tomorrow, he would be engaged in a life-and-death battle with the enemy.

At this moment, a sharp and piercing alarm sounded, breaking the tranquility of the night. The sound pierced people's eardrums like a sharp knife, making people feel terrified. Then, the entire base fell into chaos, and people ran around, looking for a safe place to avoid the impending attack.

Lin Ze's face suddenly became serious, and he realized that the enemy had launched an attack. He turned around and left without hesitation, and quickly ran to the command center. Along the way, he saw many soldiers busy and nervously preparing for the battle.
