He led his men all the way to the outskirts of Peace Base and, after some observation, found that there were no traces of a fierce battle having taken place; doubt began to form in his heart.

That meant there must be something wrong here!
Realizing that something was off, he hesitated over whether to leave or to directly inquire about the whereabouts of Deng Hong and the others. Just then, a hurricane lamp suddenly lit up on the wall, and someone shouted, "Who's there? What do you want?"
