Chapter 499 Federal Situation_1

On the second day of arriving at the secret base, the resistance fighters received an unexpected order. Instead of continuing to fight with the Empire's soldiers or searching for resources in the nearby abandoned city, they were to split up into eight groups of fifty. Led by John, they were tasked with scouting the surrounding area, the primary goal being to create a detailed map of the terrain. After all, understanding the environment and establishing escape routes are crucial for warfare.

Due to the complexity of the rainforest environment, each team was assigned several experienced guides familiar with the local terrain to prevent them from getting lost. To keep strength up for combat, each person was given beef, compressed biscuits, and drinking water. They had two days to complete the task and return to base, and were not permitted to carry wireless communication devices, as there was a risk they could be intercepted by the Empire's soldiers.
