Hearing Zhang Wenhu's words, Wen Yu immediately spoke up.
"Let's take a look at the defense measures here, and at the same time, I want to trouble my big brother with a little matter."
"What is it? Just say it, little brother, and I will definitely follow through!" Zhang Wenhu replied with a smile.
Wen Yu pondered for a moment and directly pulled Zhang Wenhu into the room beside them.
After a while, Wen Yu was the first to come out, leaving the gathering place directly.
Not long after, Zhang Wenhu walked out of the room with a pale face and issued several orders to Li Shanlin beside him.
"Do we really have to do it this way?"
Upon hearing Zhang Wenhu's words, Li Shanlin asked in surprise.
"The situation is stronger than the man, what other options do we have!" Zhang Wenhu thought of Wen Yu's half-soft, half-hard words, or rather, commands, and couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.
Looking at Wen Yu's departing figure, Zhang Wenhu silently thought.
"Strength! Strength! Without strength, nothing matters! Then..."
Zhang Wenhu turned to look at the bustling gathering place.
"We absolutely cannot give up here!"
...
Back at the small outpost, Wen Yu quietly organized the items in his Spatial Ring.
There wasn't much; aside from what couldn't be used at the moment, there were only potions and similar items.
Seeing that Sun Ruixing and Sun Aotian had already gotten up and were once again starting to set up defense measures, Wen Yu didn’t interfere with the two, quietly familiarizing himself with his skills and conserving his strength.
The necessary arrangements had been made; now, they could only wait for the impending battle.
...
Time flew by quickly, and a day was primarily spent enhancing the layout of the outpost.
Meanwhile, the arrangements in the distant camp were also in order.
At least, in Zhang Wenhu's eyes, the arrangements they had made were sound.
When noon on the seventh day arrived, the black light of the Demon Realm Gate reached its peak!
Wen Yu, along with Sun Ruixing and Sun Aotian, returned to the gathering place.
This was the result of a discussion between Wen Yu and the other two.
It was always good to scout the strength of the demonic clan first.
If the situation turned unfavorable, they could retreat back to the outpost. Given the strength of the three, the risk was indeed minimal!
Moreover, Sun Ruixing hoped to bring back the non-combat survivors to the outpost in advance!
Wen Yu had no particular views or opinions on this matter!
In the gathering place, about 30 meters in front of the Demon Realm Gate, Zhang Wenhu had gathered all the combat power from the camp and was quietly waiting for the gate to open.
Upon seeing Wen Yu and the others approach, Zhang Wenhu nodded at Wen Yu but didn’t say anything else.
"By the way, Big Boss Zhang, I hope we can bring the non-combat personnel from the camp to the rear first," Sun Ruixing said.
In Sun Ruixing's eyes, this was merely a greeting, purely out of politeness.
However, the result was somewhat unexpected.
"No way."
Zhang Wenhu shook his head seriously but didn’t explain further.
Zhang Wenhu's words left Sun Ruixing momentarily speechless.
"Forget it, Old Sun."
Seeing that Sun Ruixing still wanted to discuss the matter, Wen Yu immediately pulled at Sun Ruixing's collar and said lightly.
"But..."
Sun Ruixing's expression was one of confusion, but more so, it was anger.
"There must be some reasons he doesn't want others to know; Brother Tiger is a smart man. If he says no, then there must be other considerations."
"Brother Wen Yu understands me."
Zhang Wenhu smiled at Wen Yu, not even glancing at Sun Ruixing, turning his head to focus seriously on the Demon Realm Gate before him.
Seeing Sun Ruixing's still unwilling expression, Wen Yu softly advised.
"It could be about the arrangements in the camp, or it might be some other things. In any case, Zhang Wenhu is not someone who can't tell right from wrong."
After a slight pause, Wen Yu continued.
"You can go to the rear to check. All the non-combat personnel have been placed in the back. If the situation turns dire, you can lead them out."
