Xu Yi adhered to the initial strategic principle, hiding in the middle of the team, with Lisa and Maria by his side.
As the team delved deeper, the rustling sounds from the depths of the sewer reached them, and Xu Yi instantly became alert, gripping the government-issued carbine in his hands.
"Stay close to me as much as possible, and if we get separated, remember to use the communicator on you to get in touch!" Xu Yi reminded them with concern.
He had three communicators in his pocket, one for each of his companions, Lisa and Maria, and another miniature button communicator secretly given to him by Chen Lin.
He took Chen Lin's communicator because he had a hunch that Chen Lin might appear here.
This was just a precaution. If Chen Lin's communicator turned out to be useful, that would be great; if not, it didn't matter, as it didn't take up much space.
Lisa nodded in agreement while Ailan's attention was already entirely focused ahead.
