Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wen He might be feeble at the moment, she was a professional killer after all. She set a body alarm in herself, that she must wake up after the said 3 hours, no matter what happened by then. And as 3 hours lapsed, she got up from her deep sleep. She was conscious yet her eyes could not be opened.
“Wake up,” said someone patting her cheek.
“Mhm…” Groaned Wen He, her eyelids quivered.
A giant hand reached for her forehead and tapped around, only to feel the abnormal heat.
“A fever?” Huo Chen’s brows rose.
“What to do, sir?” The remaining crew looked at each other.
One blatant truth would be the fact that the army must not stay or they might be ambushed anytime from now.
Nevertheless, Wen He was ill, they could not rush their journey.
Huo Chen pinched his brows, “Clear the area. We will leave immediately.” Wen He was then lifted on to his back.
“Yes, sir!”
“Take my bag.”
“Yes, sir.” Huo Chen passed his backpack to another person since he had to carry Wen He. They then proceeded in a triangular formulation as marched into the forest. It was way past daybreak yet the forest was dim due to the large and tall trees around them.
The path was not a cakewalk either as they took each step wearingly.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The communicator rang at his waist as Huo Chen picked it up promptly.
“Sir, it’s me.” It was Song Shou.
“How’s the operation?”
Song Shou replied instantly, “Very well, sir. Both my team and the other arrived by the enemies’ base safely and eliminated all of them last night. We are currently hiding as you have planned, sir. Please advise on our next move.”
“Are there any casualties?”
“Just one. With a shot in his arm. Not much of an issue.”
“Good.”
Huo Chen could feel Wen He sliding down his back. He swiftly shook his back while lifting her up by her…Well, it was awkward for him to do so as he looked away in embarrassment.
“Alright, take the route I’ve plotted in the last meeting. Hit and run. Wear them out. I’ll contact you in 3 days and we’ll meet up.”
“Yes, sir.” Song Shou then paused a bit, “Sir, are you okay with only 10 men?”
Song Shou’s concern was justifiable. Not only there were only 10 men in the team, none of them were possessing strong weaponry. It would be a sticky situation if they were ambushed.
“I’m fine.” Huo Chen was calm when he said that, “Though I must point out that our conversation might be eavesdropped by the enemies. So, for our safety, please do not contact me unless there is really an issue that can’t be sorted out among the teams. We will launch a full attack 3 days later.”
“Yes, sir!”
And Huo Chen ended the transmission.
“Sir, it’s not easy to carry the communicator with your wife on your back. I’ll hold it for you.”
Huo Chen passed out the communicator approvingly.
According to his former plan, he should be meeting up with Song Shou tomorrow and raid the enemies with the 100 men he hid around the forest to take them down for good.
He must take a detour in getting rid of the enemies since the Golden Triangle was never his territory. The gangsters might be threatening but most of them lacked tactical knowledge. Nevertheless, they were still a bunch of villains with immense strength, therefore he had to take them out as soon as possible.
If not, the enemies would soon realize his master plan and engulf his entire army by taking advantage of their territory.
