K and two Flea-style drones led the stealth reconnaissance at the front while Li Pan followed at a leisurely pace behind, serving as the drone operator. He was responsible for drone control and environmental data quantitative analysis, providing K with battlefield data support, allowing her to fully focus on any combat that might arise.
There was no network signal underground, and K herself was better at gunfighting than handling drones, which necessitated having Li Pan, the drone engineer, on the team to maintain close-range communication links with the Flea-style drones.
In fact, such tactical squads would be better off with a hacker to defend against electronic warfare, but good hackers were indeed hard to find. Despite Eighteen being annoying as hell, she was a scarce resource. This time, operating on an encrypted channel without Eighteen's support, Li Pan felt quite uneasy.
