If you can contact him that is... Ah Si's face was gloomly. He grew up with Quan Yu and understood his young master well. If Quan Yu didn't want anyone to find him, no one would. But then again, if Ah Si was being honest, he could only think of one place Quan Yu could be, and that was to be around Miss Mo Li.
Lu Qin was surprised that Ah Si would not give her face. She turned to give Quan Yu a call and got a busy dial tone.
Ah Si sighed. Quan Yu sure knew how to create trouble for him. Ah Si had to take care of Quan Yu's personal safety, and now it looks like Ah Si had to deal with his relationship problems too.
...
The last border station was supposedly very small and had less than 10 soldiers.
Qin Xuan started the car and they started their journey towards it. The journey was extremely bumpy, even someone like Mo Li was dizzy from all the bumps, much less the others.
Since she couldn't rest, Mo Li decided to sit quietly and enjoy the scenery outside the window. The scenery was calming to Mo Li. The sky and sea was joined together perfectly. If it was at night, there would probably be 2 moons, one in the sky, the other on the sea. If she didn't take this mission, Mo Li probably wouldn't have the chance to see something like this in her whole life.
Down the horizons, birds flew freely. Mo Li was reminded of the childhood days she had spent studying. Occasionally she would hear birds chirping and she'd raise her head to look out the window. Her peers would be playing outside while she was indoors studying calculus. The other children laughed and squealed, a complete contrast to the girl who was studying so hard indoors.
"We're almost there." Qin Xuan announced when he saw the building down the distance. Unlike the other border station, this place was very quiet. No one came out to welcome them. There was not even a shadow. "Are we at the wrong place? This place looks deserted."
"All the border stations should be notified of our arrival, so why hasn't there been anyone to come welcome us?"
"Or they're caught up in something busy?" The nurses gossiped among themselves.
"Who is it? Show yourself!" A young man walked out with his gun raised. When he saw the group in the white coats, he only recognized they were the volunteer doctors. "I'm sorry! It's been quite tense lately. Our leader has been busy with the team trying to set up a plan."
Qin Xuan looked around, this station looked less stocked than the other stations. He asked, "A plan to stop petty thieves?"
"Petty thieves?" When the young soldiers heard that, he was displeased. "We are dealing with a terrorist group that roams this part of the sea. There are bandits, murderers and drug dealers among them. They are extremely dangerous, they are definitely more dangerous than petty thieves!"
"Zhen Kai, what are you talking about? Hurry up and bring them in." Hearing his leader, the young man saluted and obliged. "I'll bring you to the dorm first. Be mindful of your safety. We've received a threatening letter from the terrorist organization yesterday night. Our leader has been preparing and planning for their arrival. But we have no idea when they'll descend upon us so be careful!"
Zhen Kai warned. He left after checking some details with Mo Li about the vaccinations.
Based on what Zhan Kai's leader said, the terrorists were not targeting the border stations specifically but instead they were looking for someone or something. Since this border station had the least number of soldiers, the terrorists often used this place as point of entry or escape. The terrorists were experienced criminals, and moreover, they appeared to have support from a bigger organization. They had been pillaging the nearby towns and their aggression had recently kicked up a notch. It was why Elder Lin's help was requested.
However, the terrorists were not afraid. They still openly provoked the soldiers. It was little wonder that the leader felt the need to prepare.
"Hmm, the kid was definitely not friendly towards us..."
"Who told you to annoy him? Our nation relies on these soldiers for peace and quiet. You shouldn't have said those things."
"Exactly, if we were unlucky enough to get caught in the attack, it would be your fault for jinxing us."
Boom!
