Within the Hummer, Zhang Lengthy was driving the automobile at a pace of 100 kilometers per hour on the potholed highway within the Dana Rainforest. The primeval forests on either side regressed, and even the chimpanzees with cubs got here out to make hassle. In fact, he didn’t know that he thought there was a slight flaw in his very smug and excellent motion, however he couldn’t be blamed for this incident.

Comrade Ye Zhu was sitting subsequent to him. He had simply crawled out of the chassis and was dozing off in the mean time, with no intention of serving to him be vigilant.

Aside from the intimidating identify, Ye Zhu* seemed like an unusual faculty scholar subsequent door who was cultured and innocent. Just a few individuals knew his true nature. Zhang Lengthy dared to have Zaratul’s subordinates name him “dad”, however he didn’t dare get up the particular person sitting subsequent to him.

*His identify translated is Wild Boar.

At this second, the communicator sounded.

Ye Zhu opened his eyes gently with a transparent expression as if he had by no means fallen asleep. “Boss.”

“Ship?”

“There are nonetheless 50 minutes till it docks.”

“The place are the products?”

Ye Zhu glanced on the towering forest in entrance of him and mentioned solemnly, “It’ll be delivered quickly.”

He didn’t know what Xing Conglian mentioned on the different finish, however Ye Zhu seemed like normal, and on the finish he mentioned, “Roger that.”

Zhang Lengthy mentioned nervously, “How did Zaratul anger the Boss? That is merely a dragon’s wrath!”

Ye Zhu solely mentioned two phrases, “Shut up.”

……

Xing Conglian launched the fingers urgent the headset and stood on the very best level of the entire constructing with a stiff waist.

Within the alleyway of the dilapidated manufacturing unit constructing outdoors the window, Zaratul’s troopers began a brand new day of aimless vigilance. The troopers behind the bunker started to smoke habitually. The curling smoke rose with the wind, blended with the laughter and dialogue concerning the lifeless girl yesterday.

Bullets might fall from the sky at any second and hit their foreheads, however these troopers didn’t appear conscious of it in any respect. This was additionally regular. Within the space managed by Zaratul, nobody would dare to snipe.

Xing Conglian’s chilly gaze swept throughout the primary warehouse, and eventually landed on the ability plant of the mine.

Behind him, Zhao Hu was putting in a navy sniper rifle with a mild contact that felt like he was caressing a girl. The sniper took out a 12x scope from his backpack and thoroughly wiped the gun barrel with a lavender-embroidered silk scarf from his pocket earlier than shortly putting in the scope with a decisive hand. Then he continued to wipe the gun barrel with the identical silk scarf.

Xing Conglian frowned however didn’t say a lot.

Within the underground house underneath the mine, the place he couldn’t even see his fingers, Kang An, with a bruised nostril and a swollen face, was sneaking in direction of the designated location carrying C4 plastic explosives “smuggled” in by Comrade Zhao Hu. The right way to escort a whole bunch of individuals emigrate with a 7-member crew could also be a headache for unusual commanders, however related actions weren’t unfamiliar to him. Within the depths of the rainforest, the place there was little interference from exterior armed forces, straight destroying the goal pressure was clearly probably the most easy approach.

He bit the flashlight, unscrewed the screws on the mouth of the decrease pipe with a light-weight approach, shortly climbed out, took out a hand-drawn sketch from his pocket, and put in it on the marked load-bearing wall in accordance with the directions of the explosives knowledgeable who was at present on the best way.

At this second, there was a slight commotion within the communication channel.

……

The sniper was nonetheless wiping the physique of the gun as Xing Conglian held down the headset. He heard Xiao Wu’s voice coming from it, and the background sound was crammed with the low-pitched yells of the Gaomeng individuals.

“Boss, I believe the individuals of the rainforest haven’t seen the solar all 12 months spherical, so their brains are actually muddled.” The sniper seemed up at him.

Xing Conglian retracted his gaze, circled, and left.

Within the manufacturing unit house lined with colourful garments, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, who have been distributing weapons, had a dispute with the Gaomeng individuals.

The sturdy and muscular rainforest warriors glared at them, making an attempt to ask Xiao Wu for an M16 rifle with a C-MORE gentle shotgun system. Comrade Xiao Wu, who had established friendship with the rainforest individuals, didn’t know the right way to remedy this downside.

After seeing Xing Conglian’s determine seem, Xiao Wu snatched the gun and aimed it on the muscular man who had taken the gun. Behind that man stood seven or eight of probably the most combat-effective Gaomeng individuals; tall rainforest warriors standing in a row like stout timber.

“They killed our individuals!”

“We’re going to take revenge!”

“Please allow us to cost in!”

The Gaomeng individuals have been all speaking directly, and since that they had been uncovered to the wind and rain for a number of days, their voices weren’t as loud as that they had shouted.

Xing Conglian’s calm gaze swept throughout the faces of those that have been carried away by hatred.

“Oh, right here,” Xing Conglian mentioned.

“Boss!”

“The M16 rifle with out the shotgun system is value $5,000 USD. Counting the whole set of equipment, you’ll be charged $30,000 USD, which is an affordable value. Do you’ve got the cash?” Xing Conglian requested frivolously.

“We will repay with our lives!” the Gaomeng individuals mentioned.

Xing Conglian thought it was humorous, so he laughed. His skinny lips curled a bit of. “Is your rotten life value a lot cash?”

The Gaomeng individuals turned enraged once more. They clenched their fists as in the event that they have been going to combat their opponents with their naked palms.

The following second, a Gaomeng man with an ivory pendant that was lined in blood fell to his knees. He raised his head and mentioned to Xing Conglian, “My spouse was raped and killed by them downstairs on this constructing yesterday. Please enable me to avenge my spouse.”

One other Gaomeng man raised his pendant to his chest, revealing the photograph of a bit of boy embedded within the pendant. “My youngster too. Please enable me to avenge him.”

Xing Conglian’s gaze was nonetheless chilly and laborious. He glanced on the riled-up Gaomeng individuals and mentioned, “After strolling out of this constructing, it is going to be a fight zone. When you don’t take heed to my command, you can be killed.” Talking in Gaomengnese, Xing Conglian mentioned to the rainforest warriors, “I don’t suppose there’s any level in reasoning with you. When you imagine that killing a couple of Zaratul individuals is extra vital than defending your personal individuals and leaving safely, then I respect your alternative.”

……

The lengthy, mild wind blew by the primeval forest, inflicting the information of each leaf to tremble.

The commotion began all of the sudden with out warning. The shockwave attributable to the explosion made the whole land tremble.

At the moment, Duan Yang was pretending to pack up the laboratory whereas the masked man—ah, no—the Chinese language named Lu Jia had simply transferred a helicopter by safety to ship them off. By way of Lu Jia’s instance, Duan Yang deeply understood the significance of eloquence and performing expertise.

He inserted the final take a look at tube into the take a look at tube holder and seemed on the laboratory ground worriedly.

Lin Chen was curled up in probably the most sheltered nook of the whole laboratory. The turquoise blood vessels underneath his neck have been vaguely seen. He was so weak that it appeared he might be crushed by only a pinch of snow.

Earlier, Lin Chen all of the sudden fell to the bottom. After Duan Yang checked, he discovered that the excessive fever had lastly put Lin Chen in a semi-comatose state. He was burning up like a soldering iron. Given Lin Chen’s scenario, Duan Yang pressured Lu Jia to vary to a automobile that would go away as quickly as potential and demanded that Lu Jia discover a helicopter. For this, they waited one other forty minutes. Whereas Lu Jia made a telephone name in Gaomengnese that they didn’t perceive, Duan Yang couldn’t assist however admire Lin Chen’s meticulous considering. In the event that they hadn’t grasped Lu Jia’s weak point, only a easy telephone name in Gaomengnese may need pushed them into hell.

Nevertheless, simply after Lu Jia hung up the telephone, an explosion sounded. Duan Yang squatted down and pushed Lin Chen into the house underneath the experimental desk. Simply as he adopted in, an incandescent lamp brushed previous his again and crashed into the ground. The damaged lamp tubes and powder made the ground a multitude.

Not distant, the masked man hid underneath the desk in misery.

In a brief interval of two or three seconds, there was solely the strict roars of the rhesus monkeys in the whole house.

……

The individuals within the laboratory weren’t the one ones who have been at a loss as a result of explosion.

The Zaratul military, which was guarding the gate of the mining space from afar, was additionally subconsciously on the lookout for a bunker to cover in. Then they began on the lookout for the supply of the explosion. Once they turned on the communication channel, there was a chaotic buzzing sound, making it unimaginable for them to contact one another.

Regardless that Zaratul’s subordinates fought towards primitive tribes within the rainforest year-round, it took some time to understand the issue of electromagnetic interference. Within the space seen to the bare eye, the ability plant constructing of the mine had been razed to the bottom, and the damaged bricks and soot rising into the sky had created an ideal smoke bomb. Beside the ability plant constructing, two unprepared barracks have been additionally riddled with holes.

Troopers with blood on their faces crawled out of the barracks whereas extra individuals have been buried in them.

At this second, a plume of smoke and mud additionally appeared on the highway going through the door. The troopers on the watchtower had simply been surprised. Earlier than they might precisely report the goal, they have been hit exactly by eight sniper bullets. The silver bullets made a stupendous arc blended with purple and white plasma because the soldier fell straight down whereas pulling the tarpaulin masking the machine gun down with him.

At a sure window on the higher ground, the sniper took out a lilac silk scarf from his pocket and kissed the headscarf, signifying the profitable completion of his first kill.

The modified Hummer crashed straight into the gate of the mines. Zaratul’s subordinates raised their rifles and commenced to fireside again. Nobody anticipated that the driving force of the Hummer wouldn’t decelerate however would blatantly slam towards the gate, transferring at a fearless pace.

The iron gate all of the sudden opened, and on the similar time the roof of the Hummer opened as nicely. A most primitive and dependable M2 machine gun poked out its life-harvesting head.

The person who manipulated the machine gun wasn’t a type of beefy machine gunners however a slim, svelte younger man. His face was pale and wood, however he didn’t hesitate to drag the heavy set off of the M2 machine gun. As a basic weapon used for theft throughout World Warfare I, the M2 machine gun was generally used to assault frivolously armored targets and low-altitude air protection, and its killing energy was evident.

Accompanied by deafening gunfire, an extended metal whip shortly swept out from the muzzle of the machine gun, and flames and bullets hit all the encircling transferring targets. The M16 rifle was totally ineffective underneath such heavy firepower suppression, and even the dilapidated manufacturing unit constructing that was swept by the machine gun’s tail was immediately lacking a nook and had a bent to break down.

Quickly, the troopers on the gate have been cleaned up. The remaining troopers hiding within the bunker seemed up on the sky and prayed that the follow-up pressure wouldn’t be too terrifying.

Nobody anticipated that there would solely be two males in a Hummer that overtly challenged the Zaratul drug manufacturing unit.

What was much more sudden was {that a} gentle ferry with an Angodo Republic vacationer firm license plate and a capability of 1,000 individuals quietly entered the mining space like a ghost.

On the sunshine display that displayed the placement, the ferry entered the designated space. Ye Zhu launched the set off and, profiting from the hole, whispered into the communicator, “Space A1 cleared.”

……

The Gaomeng tribe, which had been besieged for a lot of days, lastly stepped out of the crumbling machine restore manufacturing unit.

The rainforest warriors, armed with shotguns, rushed to the entrance. Zaratul’s subordinates hiding behind the sandbag bunker by no means dreamed that these Gaomeng individuals, whom that they had been teasing like mice for a lot of days, actually dared to hurry out of the manufacturing unit and combat them to the dying.

The fierce firepower collided with one another. Two rainforest warriors immediately fell. On the similar time, ghostly sniper bullets shot from the sky once more, and two Zaratul machine gunners with heavy weapons have been immediately killed.

The Hummer had already rushed to the gate of the manufacturing unit. The suppressed firepower of the M2 made Zaratul troopers behind the sandbag bunker extraordinarily suffocated. What was much more sudden was that the bullets of the M2 machine gun simply penetrated the delicate bunker. Flowers of blood splashed on the sandbag.

Extra Gaomeng individuals poured out of the manufacturing unit constructing. Within the chaos, somebody picked up an ivory pendant on the bottom and gently closed the eyes of a lifeless warrior.

……

A second explosion sounded, and the earliest gravel manufacturing unit within the mine fell, immediately blocking the remnants of Zaratul’s troops who wished to pursue the Gaomeng individuals.

Within the laboratory, the place the ability provide had been minimize off, the successive explosions and deafening bullets prompted everybody to fall into an excessive panic.

Duan Yang hid underneath the laboratory desk and shivered barely. He couldn’t see Lin Chen’s face clearly, however a scorching hand saved holding his wrist tightly, as if relieved, inflicting Duan Yang to relax.

This space wasn’t throughout the vary of the electromagnetic interference. At the hours of darkness house, all of the sudden there was the passionate sound of a telephone beeping. Lu Jia hurriedly linked the telephone. On the opposite finish of the road, a helicopter operator was roaring. The saying “the place there’s a will, there’s a approach” in all probability referred to such a scenario. The C4 explosives put in by Kang An have been steadily leveling the whole mining space, however miraculously, the helicopter touchdown website was preserved and intact.

What was much more lucky was that Xing Conglian didn’t instantly order the launch of two sensible bombs to destroy it since he noticed by his binoculars that it wasn’t outfitted with any ammunition compartment.

The sunshine ferry docked on the pier.

Many of the troopers stationed on the pier had already rushed to the entrance line to supply help, and the remaining sporadic troopers who tried to assault the ferry with rocket launchers have been mysteriously killed by a machine gun out of nowhere.

The heavy-firepower Hummer had cleared the best way forward, and the primary batch of Gaomeng individuals ran frantically, arriving on the pier.

The captain of the ferry, named Bao Feng, had a full beard. He gently tidied up his go well with and bowtie and walked politely to the deck to greet his visitors.

The hatch opened.

……

Within the laboratory, Lu Jia hung up the telephone. The ceramic masks on his face had in some unspecified time in the future fallen off. He hid underneath the laboratory desk and shouted, “The helicopter is coming! Let’s go!”

The tooth-aching sound of bullets outdoors the window lastly stopped briefly.

Lin Chen’s barely calm voice sounded. “Duan Yang, will I nonetheless have 12 hours if there’s no medication?”

The younger physician seemed stiff and mentioned angrily, “What are you worrying about? In fact you do. Am I the physician otherwise you?”

“I perceive.” Lin Chen smiled barely, nodded, and launched his hand from his wrist. “Go and assess the scenario first.”

Duan Yang nodded. He plucked up the braveness, crawled out from underneath the experiment desk, and cautiously opened the door to the monkey room. The monkey cages had collapsed in every single place, and the screams of the rhesus monkeys nearly pierced his eardrums.

Duan Yang stumbled and used a bit of glimmer of sunshine from behind the curtains to determine a method to the skin. His palms have been consistently scratched by the monkeys’ sharp claws that have been protruding of the cages, however he didn’t make any cries of ache.

……

Within the alleyway, a small group of Zaratul troopers minimize in from the rear, and bursts of machine gun fireplace shortly hit them on the finish.

“Go forward and go away me alone.”

Xing Conglian stood on the finish of the migrating crowd. He mentioned one thing briefly into the communicator, left the top of the crew, and flashed into the manufacturing unit constructing.

The police captain, armed with a gun, shortly climbed as much as the fourth ground. Wanting by a scope, numerous Gaomeng individuals have been nonetheless gritting their tooth as they ran laborious. The despair in the course of the group got here from a pair of pure white stretchers. On the stretcher, Duan Wanshan’s eyes have been closed, fully unaware of his environment.

Xing Conglian retracted the muzzle of the gun and pointed it on the Zaratul troopers, who have been steadily approaching the big group.

……

Duan Yang pulled down the curtains hanging horizontally on the wall of the monkey room letting the daylight spill in, inflicting him to cowl his eyes.

He seemed again on the laboratory. Lu Jia had already adopted him out of the innermost room, however Lin Chen’s determine didn’t seem.

Duan Yang rushed again once more.

The daylight from the monkey room prompted a faint gentle to look within the innermost a part of the lab. Lin Chen was leaning towards an experimental bench because the dim gentle solid a layer of blue-gray on his face.

Duan Yang tried to drag him up, however Lin Chen put his hand on his wrist and shook his head.

Though Lin Chen didn’t say a phrase, Duan Yang immediately understood what the advisor meant.

“No. Not possible!”

Lin Chen’s gaze was nonetheless clear and agency. There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes that made him instantly calm down, as if agreeing to his request.

Duan Yang stopped speaking nonsense. He carried Lin Chen on his again and was about to run outdoors.

Lin Chen all of the sudden mentioned, “Are you asking me to be a goal in your again?”

Duan Yang stood in place, panicking, as Lin Chen slipped off him.

Mr. Advisor supported himself on a lab bench and couldn’t even stand, however nonetheless mentioned, “Assist me stroll out.”

Concerning Lin Chen’s sudden and willful request, Duan Yang didn’t doubt him. He might solely hug Lin Chen’s armpit and drag him out.

When he was about to step by the door, Lin Chen all of the sudden coughed violently, bending his physique. He mentioned in ache, “Wait a minute. You pressed my wound.”

Duan Yang hurriedly let go. In the meanwhile he let go of his hand, Lin Chen someway mustered up sufficient power to push him outdoors and shortly slammed the wood door of the lab as fast as lightning.

Duan Yang fell closely to the bottom because the rhesus monkey close to him screamed.

He climbed up desperately. He didn’t know what was unsuitable with Lin Chen, however he clenched his fist with out hesitation, making an attempt to punch and shatter the glass higher a part of the wood door.

Lin Chen’s weak determine was crumbling on the door. Wanting on the calm face of this younger man who wasn’t even a couple of years older than him, Duan Yang couldn’t assist shouting, “Motherfucker. Don’t say you’ll drag me down. Let’s go collectively!”

Lin Chen had already calculated Duan Yang’s ideas. He stood with issue, holding the wood door. In his different hand, a chilly glint from a scalpel appeared in some unspecified time in the future. He simply pressed the scalpel to his neck.

“What are you doing?!”

Duan Yang’s tears flowed immediately.

With a second punch, the glass all of the sudden shattered. Lin Chen took a half step again and fell to the bottom, however nonetheless held the scalpel firmly in place. He calmly mentioned, “First, when you take me with you, you gained’t attain the helicopter easily underneath the hail of bullets.”

“Second, I simply found that the sound of the explosion from the manufacturing unit is steadily coming in direction of the constructing we’re in. I briefly estimated the detonation time, and the constructing the place we’re shall be blown up in about 5 minutes. With me, you’ll by no means have the ability to escape the explosion vary in such a brief time frame. There’s even a better chance you’ll be killed by somebody. Be mature. Dwell and avenge me.” He blinked as he mentioned solemnly, “I’ll depend to 3. Get out, now.”

……

Xing Conglian, who was in control of masking the retreat, stood tall on the fourth ground of the manufacturing unit constructing. He killed the final soldier in sight and ready to evacuate.

He pulled the wood desk away and used the scope to frivolously draw an arc, making an attempt to substantiate that each one the targets had been cleared. It was this tiny arc that made his coronary heart beat to its highest pace straight away. All his blood rushed to his coronary heart in such a short while that his limbs fell into excessive chilly numbness, which made him really feel as if his soul had popped out of his physique.

He noticed Lin Chen. Why the hell did he see Lin Chen?

Lin Chen was bent over and coughing. He had pushed away the person subsequent to him and was leaning towards the wood door as he held a blade at his neck, as if he have been speaking to the particular person outdoors the door…

Xing Conglian thought it was an phantasm after interested by him day and night time, so he bit the tip of his tongue laborious to wake himself up. Lin Chen’s determine was gone. The younger man gritted his tooth, turned his head, and left with tears streaming down his face, leaving solely damaged glass behind.

Xing Conglian felt that he was trembling throughout. He pulled his collar and pointed the microphone at him as he tremblingly mentioned, “Cease the detonation. Cease all of the detonations. Cease the fucking detonation. Do you hear me!!!”
