Chapter 2039: Forever A Soldier

Instead of taking action immediately, he threw a small stone inside. After a few clangs, it was silent.

Without further hesitation, Loach was the first to disembark from the container, while two comrades extended their rifle barrels inside to keep watch for Loach.

Loach did not charge straight down like a hothead. After quickly entering the container, he grabbed the outer support of the iron ladder with one hand and turned sideways. His entire body was on the outside of the hanging ladder, and he relied on his arm strength to support himself. In a few seconds, he completed the two tasks of entering and observing.

Two minutes later, everyone heard Loach say, “Come down.”

Ye Jian and White Crane didn’t go down. Weaver and Azalea guarded the two-story container that someone had entered and left before they died. That person had guarded the single-story container that their comrades entered.

Entering the container, Pigeon and the others walked through the entire container. When they reached the front, they saw an underground pa.s.sageway. The entrance was as wide as the container and could fit three people at a time.

It was very dark inside. There was no light or sound. The two members of the Xueyu unit took one step at a time, stepping nimbly on the ladder.

After the two of them got off the ladder, they immediately leaned against the wall on both sides and stared ahead through their night vision equipment.

In the turbid green world, they saw a long stone cave that had been dug. After confirming that there was no problem, they gently waved to the back. The other four comrades entered and advanced alternately.

Outside, the sound of a helicopter circling the island could be heard. Ye Jian, White Crane, Zhin Que, and Zou Ji’s expressions turned cold at the same time. Even though they had yet to see the helicopter, the four of them quickly reacted and found a new cover.

The voices came closer. They were clearly coming in their direction!

“Pigeon! How’s the situation inside? The situation outside has changed. There’s a helicopter coming!” Ye Jian immediately contacted Pigeon, who had entered the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Then, she looked at the helicopter in the sky. An extremely strong beam of light shone straight from it to the top of the two-story container that Zhi Que and the others had been guarding.

Someone crawled out of the second-floor container that had been silent all this time and stood on top of it, waving at the strong light.

Ye Jian and the others looked from the helicopter to the person waving.

At this moment, the four of them were in sync, which was why they said the same thing at the same time.

“This person is the next target.”

When the people on the helicopter saw someone respond, they retracted their bright light and flew forward.

Weaver and Azalea didn’t give the man a chance to look around. Just as the helicopter retracted its light and flew ahead, the two of them quickly appeared from below and dealt with the target.

Pigeon, who was in the bas.e.m.e.nt, answered Ye Jian, “We’ve found the ten engineers. They’re preparing to evacuate! Fang Gong has been sacrificed, while Jiang Gong is in a coma. The situation is dangerous.”

Fang Gong had been sacrificed.

This news was like someone punching everyone in the heart. In an instant, their hearts suddenly hurt, and it even became painful to breathe.

Ye Jian closed her eyes as she watched the helicopter slowly descend. She suppressed the pain in her heart and said in a low voice, “Retreat immediately! Send all the engineers to the helicopter and take them away.”

Her heart sank even more. Those who stayed on the island were those who were not very skilled. Who were these people who had returned?

The two-story container suddenly made a clanging sound. Ye Jian, who had been guarding the surroundings, cut off the call. She needed to support Weaver and Azalea!
