Chapter 362: Chapter 362: No Good Deeds_1 Chapter 362: Chapter 362: No Good Deeds_1 “Hello, Captain Tu Lou!” Lu Jin greeted with a smile, his once handsome and youthful face now at least three shades darker due to sandstorms.
Tu Lou looked almost the same.
Only Huo Beijiang remained unchanged.
When asked why Captain Huo hadn’t changed, someone shamelessly replied, “How can a married man like me look like you bunch of single guys?”
If it hadn’t been for his formidable fighting ability, he would surely have been given a good beating.
“No need! I’ll be patrolling with Tu Lou personally. You’ve been working hard these days, go and get some sleep!” Huo Beijiang waved his hand.
“Boss! I strictly followed the patrol schedule.” Lu Jin refused to leave, in reality, he was curious about what the boss was discussing with Captain Tu Lou. Even with his thick nerve, he felt the rescue team’s atmosphere had gotten strangely tense over the past month.
Everyone was mysterious.
Especially the woman named Mei Ya who escaped and was rescued by them halfway.
Huo Beijiang glanced at him, didn’t need to guess what was going through the boy’s mind, “You just follow behind!”
The desert’s climate was unpredictable. Although it was only around five in the afternoon, the sky was already filled with stars.
It seemed like it would be a nice day tomorrow.
“Have you checked all the quicksand areas?” Huo Beijiang said as they walked, “Based on our investigation, the research team was swallowed by quicksand. We absolutely cannot make a mistake .”
“Don’t you worry! I’ll lead the team myself tomorrow! Everything is clearly marked on the map!”
Huo Beijiang lit a cigarette for himself, handed another one to Tu Lou, and finally turned to Lu Jin, “Do you want one?”
Tu Lou couldn’t help but say: “What kind of father are you? Instead of learning, you’re teaching the kid to smoke.”
Huo Beijiang gave him a look and handed the cigarette and lighter to Lu Jin.
This action won Lu Jin another disdainful glance from Tu Lou. He’s an adult, why can’t he smoke?
“You don’t need to participate in tomorrow’s operation, I’ll go personally.” Huo Beijiang casually threw out this sentence while walking forward and blowing out smoke rings, “Your leg is just healed, it’s better if you stay at the camp and take care of the rescue.”
Tu Lou was taken aback and shook his head in resignation. This bastard, wanting to go at such a time, doesn’t he understand why he isn’t supposed to go, because it’s dangerous?
Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, leaving Tu Lou behind and quickly catching up, only to see Huo Beijiang’s face show a grim expression as he stared ahead. Following his gaze, he saw a tall woman wrapped in a large camouflage jacket walking their way.
“Mei Ya!” Lu Jin exclaimed in surprise, “Wasn’t she traumatized and refusing to see anyone?”
Huo Beijiang’s lips quirked up as he said in an inscrutable tone: “It’s not that she refuses to see people, she just hasn’t found her target.”
“So… Boss, you’re her target now.” Lu Jin said and then laughed, “Didn’t she inquire when she marked you as a target? How did you get the name ‘The Great Devil’?”
“Maybe she thinks she is different, unique?” Huo Beijiang’s voice was laced with endless mockery.
The woman in front of them had been either delirious or raving about some inexplicable stuff since they rescued her. All of their rescuers remained firm, unshaken.
But it was different for the supply line and various field experts who came with them. The atmosphere of the search and rescue team was veering into eerie. All thanks to Mei Ya.
