As the leader of the team, Gu Shenwei now was faced with an embarrassing dilemma. The more he knew, the harder it was for him to make a decision. He worried that they would fall into the unknown enemies' trap if they continued to travel forward. Meanwhile, he was not sure that it was safe for them to retreat.
He did not know where the enemies were. In the meantime, he was afraid that they might have already been prepared for all the actions he might take.
Under such circumstances, making a choice was like gambling. One could never know the result when he threw the dice. If he were lucky, he would win and be widely regarded as a hero.
