"Tank, ask about the situation in Africa. Why can't I get through to Mengqi and Scorpion?" Yun Hao immediately called Tank because, apart from Liu Mengqi, Tank handled the diplomacy there. Yun Hao usually just slept at the base when not on a mission.
Three minutes later, Tank called back. There was no news, only that Liu Mengqi's team had taken on a mission, but the specifics were unclear.
Yun Hao had a growing sense of foreboding. He hastily called the Asura Hall, and after a minute received an answer that drove him crazy with worry: Liu Mengqi indeed had taken on a mission with her team, but it was an SS Level mission—equivalent to a Hell Level task. Even Yun Hao couldn't be certain he could complete it!
The worst part for Yun Hao was that Liu Mengqi's team fell into a trap while executing the mission and was now missing, with only a general direction known!
Yun Hao was extremely anxious and could only temporarily send the nearest members of the Celestial Group to cautiously search nearby, while he immediately called Cyan Dragon with a simple request for a helicopter to transport him.
Then, Yun Hao flagged down a car by himself and headed to the outskirts; after all, helicopters couldn't conveniently land in the city. Cyan Dragon didn't object, but Yun Hao knew he owed a favor.
It's not that Yun Hao didn't think of dispatching the Earth Group and Profound Group from the Asura Hall, but both were engaged in global missions and couldn't reach in time.
Tank wasn't sent because his injuries hadn't healed, and even if he did go, he might be a hindrance, an outcome that must not happen. It was better for Tank to be here and ready to respond.
"I'm going with you!" When Yun Hao arrived at the outskirts, Ying'Er got out of the car behind him and insisted.
"How did you know?"
"Because I was secretly following you!"
Three minutes later, the helicopter arrived. After Yun Hao and Ying'Er boarded, they flew toward Africa!
After flying for over five hours, the destination was nearing. Yun Hao pulled out his phone to call Chu Yan, but she didn't answer. Then he called Zhao Shishi, with the same result, leaving Yun Hao speechless!
By now, it was past seven in the evening. Yun Hao had intended to message the two women, but after seeing Ying'Er's eyes, he dismissed the idea—not wanting her to look down on him—and finally called Su Qiao!
"Xiao Qiao, your brother has an urgent matter to attend to; take care of yourself in the meantime. If that Young Master Sun bothers you again, look for Brother Tank!" After a brief instruction, Yun Hao gave Su Qiao Tank's phone number.
The next second, Yun Hao shut off his phone, then he and Ying'Er parachuted out over the African Continent. Yes, they had parachutes!
Their landing spot was under local government control, thanks to Dragon Scale's power. Many small countries here were wary of Huaxia since angering them could mean destruction by a single Huaxia unit!
Familiar with the land, Yun Hao looked around briefly and recognized the area. He chose a direction and began running. For various reasons, the landing site was far from where Liu Mengqi's team had trouble; even at full speed, Yun Hao would need at least four hours!
Due to the time difference, although it was midnight in Huaxia Country, in Africa, it was only seven or eight o'clock!
Meanwhile, in Huaxia, Chu Yan had just left an auction and was seated in a car, not paying much attention to her phone displaying a missed call from Yun Hao. She was socializing with another client at the time, so she hung up on Yun Hao's call.
As for Zhao Shishi, she had been holding her phone for four to five hours. Unfortunately, she was showering when Yun Hao called. After emerging and noticing it was Yun Hao, she expected him to call again, but hours passed!
Zhao Shishi had her pride. While she genuinely liked Yun Hao, she wouldn't actively call him, not wishing to deepen her perceived betrayal of Chu Yan!
"Rat-a-tat-tat!"
As Yun Hao and Ying'Er sped along, they were ambushed by an unknown organization after running for about two hours, suddenly hearing a string of machine-gun fire on their right!
Both were experienced in battle. At the sound of gunfire, they immediately dropped to the ground, drew their guns, and retaliated. Yes, Cyan Dragon had prepared weapons on the helicopter.
Yun Hao used a rifle, and Ying'Er preferred the thrill of a sniper's headshot!
Yun Hao emptied a clip, venting frustration, but realized something was wrong. This force seemed not to want to fight to death, appearing to only delay them.
"Run!" Yun Hao commanded, then resumed running first.
The two continued running while fighting back. However, this didn't last long, for half an hour later, passing a small grove, they were separated by enemies rushing them!
Yun Hao didn't worry about Ying'Er's survival or combat skills—she was the infamous Black Widow, internationally renowned. Yun Hao himself wasn't privy to all her secrets!
Looping back, Yun Hao resumed the right path, running madly until he reached the vicinity of the location in the report by midnight!
Gradually, Yun Hao slowed down, cautiously checking the surroundings to avoid inadvertently entering the enemy's trap. From the forces blocking the road, it was clear this was premeditated!
Moreover, the enemy must have known Yun Hao well, aware that any real showdown would easily annihilate those small forces, thus only attempting delay tactics. This indirectly suggested Liu Mengqi's team might still be safe, a piece of good news.
Impressively, Yun Hao's mind deduced so much from so little information!
