As one security guard was preparing to let them pass, another security guard tapped on the board in his hand, clearly suspicious of the two's presence. "Wasn't there any cleaning scheduled for today? Did you get the dates mixed up?" His eyes were filled with doubt, and his hand had already quietly moved to rest on the knife at his waist. 0
 
The two members of the Red Flame Army felt a chill, but they remained calm. One of them smiled and replied, "We were called in on short notice. There have been too many people on the ship these past few days, and the sanitation situation isn't good. The higher-ups arranged for us to come over and clean." 0
 
 
The security guard's eyes were still full of doubt, and he was already tightly gripping the knife handle, apparently not intending to let them pass easily. He carefully examined the two people and their cleaning truck, as if looking for any abnormalities. 0
 
"Last-minute arrangement?" The security guard sneered disdainfully. "Who's in charge here? Can you give me a name? I don't recall anything like this." 0
 
 
Another member of the Red Flame Army took a deep breath and calmly said, "Sir, these are all arrangements from above. We are just following orders. If you have any doubts, you can let us contact our superiors to confirm." 0
 
The security guard, with a dark expression, looked at them, gripping and releasing his fingers on the knife handle. His suspicions did not dissipate. He turned and whispered a few words to his colleague next to him, and the two seemed to be discussing something. 0
 
 
"I think we still need to investigate thoroughly," another security guard said, "It's a critical time now, and there can't be any negligence." 0
 
This sentence made Xiao Yun, Guo Sheng, and Lian Rong's hearts jump into their throats. Hidden inside the cleaning truck, they felt a cold sweat running down their backs, their breathing becoming more rapid. They knew that any movement at this moment could expose them and ruin the entire plan. 0
 
 
Red Flame Army The two of them bowed slightly, with a respectful expression, and said, "Sir, you can send someone with us to verify. Our mission is indeed arranged by the higher-ups, and there is absolutely no falsehood." 0
 
The security guard furrowed his brow, his eyes shuttling back and forth between the two individuals and the cleaning truck. His hand slowly moved away from the knife handle, but he remained highly alert. "Alright, we will go with you to take a look. If there is anything abnormal, you will be waiting to be tried." 0
 
 
The two members of the Red Flame Army nodded in thanks and quickly pushed the cleaning cart forward. Xiao Yun, Guo Sheng, and Lian Rong felt their tension ease slightly, but they still did not dare to let their guard down. They knew this was just the first hurdle, and more challenges awaited them. 0
 
The two members of the Red Flame Army pushed the cleaning cart to the side of the warship, only to be stopped again. The security guard coldly said, "We need to search you." 0
 
 
Xiao Yun, Guo Sheng, and Lian Rong hid in the cleaning car, sweating with fear. They knew that the Red Flame Army was carrying explosives, and the three of them were also hiding in the car. Once discovered, the entire plan would be in jeopardy, and there would even be a risk to their lives. 0
 
The two members of the Red Flame Army remained calm, smiling as they extended their arms to be searched. The security guard began to carefully pat them down, trying to find any suspicious items. Several tense moments passed, and it seemed that the security guard had not discovered the presence of explosives. 0
 
 
Xiao Yun held her breath in the car, her heart pounding like thunder. She could feel Guo Sheng and Lian Rong's hands trembling slightly. These few seconds felt like a century, and the air inside the car was so heavy that it was almost suffocating. 0
 
The security guard finished searching the two members of the Red Flame Army, frowned, turned to face the cleaning car, and began to inspect it. He tapped the car body with his baton, then lifted the canvas on top and carefully examined the tools and items inside. 0
 
 
Every knock made the three people in the car jump in fear, pressing tightly against the interior walls, trying not to make a sound. Xiao Yun closed his eyes and silently prayed that the security guard wouldn't find them. 0
 
The security guard rummaged through the cleaning tools in the car and still found it suspicious. He reached out to open the bucket where the three people were hiding. At that moment, a member of the Red Flame Army quickly stepped forward, blocking the security guard's hand, and said nervously, "Sir, that's a trash can with dirty stuff inside. It's better not to open it." 0
 
 
Security guard's hand paused in mid-air, his eyes filled with suspicion. He coldly looked at the people from Red Flame Army, seemingly evaluating the credibility of their words. The Red Flame Army member forced a calm demeanor, with a hint of a reluctant smile on his face: "Sir, this garbage has been piling up for days, and the smell is unbearable. We were afraid it might affect your mood." 0
 
Security guard furrowed his brow, seemingly considering the truth of the statement. His hand remained suspended in the air, not retracting. Inside the car, Xiao Yun, Guo Sheng, and Lian Rong felt as if time had frozen, each second becoming unbearably long. 0
 
 
Finally, the security guard seemed unwilling to waste any more time. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, just get in quickly and don't delay too long." 0
 
The two members of the Red Flame Army breathed a sigh of relief, quickly nodded in thanks, and pushed the cleaning cart forward. They pushed the cart onto the ship, while Xiao Yun, Guo Sheng, and Lian Rong inside the cart remained vigilant, knowing that this was just the beginning. 0
 
 
After entering the warship, the two members of the Red Flame Army quickly pushed the cleaning cart to a secluded corner. They whispered to each other, confirming that the area was safe. Then, one of them knocked on the barrel, signaling that the three could come out. 0
 
Xiao Yun finally climbed out of the barrel, feeling a wave of hot air hit her face. She quickly scanned her surroundings and realized that they seemed to be in the restaurant on the lower deck of the ship. Since the warship had not yet been officially delivered and was only docked, there were far fewer personnel on board than she had imagined, which made her feel somewhat relieved. 0
 
 
Guo Sheng and Lian Rong also crawled out of the barrel, and the three quickly gathered together. One member of the Red Flame Army whispered to them, "There are few people here, but we must not let our guard down. We need to place the explosives in several key locations." 0
 
Xiao Yun nodded and carefully followed the member of the Red Flame Army as they moved inside the ship. The restaurant had simple furnishings, with several long tables and chairs arranged neatly, and some kitchen utensils in the corner. The lighting inside the ship was dim, but sufficient for them to see their way. 0
