After putting down his luggage, Xia Jinyuan took out a map and looked at it carefully. This was their military map. It was extremely detailed and precise.
His finger moved over the map. He took out a pen and wrote on the places that Ye Jian might be at.
“Huh? Do you know about it? So fast? Who told you?” G3 appeared behind him. He took a pen from the table and drew on the map. “Our flying mission this time will take us from Makit located at east longitude 77°28′~79°05′ northern latitude 38°25′~39°22′, all the way through the Taklamakan Desert before arriving at Charkhlik located at east longitude 6°45′—93°45′ northern latitude 36°—41°23′. As for the details… the type of plan is highly classified.”
They chose the desert because it’s like Zone 51 in the USA. There was privacy.
Xia Jinyuan took the map and turned to look at G3. He raised his eyebrows. “No wonder they didn’t send us for flight training after we came down from the highlands. They have prepared this for us.”
“Don’t look at me like this. I only knew about it recently too. The Xueyu unit will always be at the front. From the day you enter, you should know this. We will always have ‘priority’.” G3 smiled. His low and hoarse voice was full of pride. “We’ll conduct the meeting now and leave in three days.”
The soldiers from the Xueyu unit were all-rounders. They could operate a warplane, a tank, and were even well-versed with sea combat.
“Loyal to the country, exceed yourself, challenge the limit, forever succeed.” This was the slogan of the Xueyu unit.
At 7 pm, the A and C team of the Xueyu unit had a meeting. it was held in the underground meeting room. Electromagnetic shields were activated and unknown radio waves were tracked to prevent people from eavesdropping.
Xia Jinyuan looked at the screen. He looked at the path of the warplanes and smiled gently.
They were fated. Even when they were thousands of miles apart, Little Fox and he would be able to meet each other.
Three days later, when Xia Jinyuan left for his mission, Ye Jian was lying on hot sand that was baking under the scorching sun. Yellow sands were all she saw for this month. Besides that, she would sometimes see a few cactus in the desert.
She was at the Taklamakan Desert. This was the golden period for crossing the Taklamakan Desert. However, she was not going to cross it. She was here to train.
Principal Chen promised that he would bring her to highlands, deserts, forests, and flat plains. Now, they were undergoing desert training. The time was not fixed. They could leave whenever they want.
Ye Jian didn’t have time to admire the golden scenery. She was focused on finding Principal Chen who was hiding among this golden world with his sniper rifle.
The sound of bells could be heard. There were from the bells that were hung on camels. Ye Jian looked through her scope and saw a group of explorers walking towards her slowly.
Their destination was the Khotan River behind her.
Khotan river was one of the three main sources of water in the Taklamakan Desert. The water came from the Kunlun Mountain and the Karakorum Range. The water flowed into the Tarim Basin and passed through the Taklamakan Desert. It flowed into the Tarim River.
Ye Jian started wriggling her body in the sand. She didn’t get up. If she stood up to evade the explorers, Principal Chen would ‘shoot’ at her immediately.
