Chapter 2067: Fight Our Way Out
Ye Jian was a female soldier taught by a world-cla.s.s sniper and a level-one sergeant major. Realizing her mistake, she quickly fixed her behavior and stopped letting herself be affected by her emotions.
She was a soldier on a mission. At this moment, her personal feelings had to be placed at the back. Nothing was more important than her mission!
This was the responsibility a soldier should have! It was also a responsibility that she had to have!
The three of them had set off from the island nearly two hours after Pigeon and the others. When Pigeon and the others got into the vehicle arranged by the emba.s.sy, the three people who had received the location of the port were still at sea on the speedboat.
“Arrangements for the first batch of engineers are done. Their luggage has been sent to the airport. The direct flight back is at 4:08 a.m. There are still two hours and 19 minutes before the plane leaves. It’s very likely that Azure Bird and the other two won’t be able to catch the first flight back!”
Pigeon, who had finished communicating with the emba.s.sy, told his comrades in the car with a solemn expression, “The second flight will be four o’clock in the afternoon… This will be a headache. They’ll have to wait nearly 12 hours before being able to return to the country.”
12 hours was an unusually long time. There was no guarantee of an accident happening during the long wait!
“Antonio isn’t just an arms dealer. Even the taxis here work under him. The entire city is filled with his forces. What if something goes wrong in between?”
When Pigeon finished speaking, it was so quiet in the car that one could hear a pin drop.
Long Eagle’s eyes turned fierce. He said in a low voice, “I’ll stay and support them! If something happens, we’ll fight our way out.”
“Antonio is too powerful. Even the government forces don’t dare to fight him. How can we fight our way out?!” Chi Lu immediately rejected the idea. This soldier from the northwest was not handsome, but his years in the military had given him a sharp look in his eyes. One would feel as though one’s neck had been slashed by his gaze. He hugged his rifle and said coldly, “If we’re really discovered, Q King will be in even more danger. He’s still in Antonio’s camp!”
This meant that if Antonio discovered Ye Jian, he would probably think that Xia Jinyuan, who was Chinese as well, had deliberately let Ye Jian go.
At that time, not only would Ye Jian and the other two be in danger, but Q King as well!
Blood Swallow, who was dismantling his gun, looked up and added calmly, “There are still a few brothers missing from the base. You should count them in too.”
If anything happened, it might not only affect Q King but also the missing brothers in the base!
Instantly, the atmosphere in the car became even more somber.
...
“Q King shouldn’t be in our scope of consideration. We can’t interfere in other missions.” Despite their concern for Q King and the others’ safety, it wasn’t their place to interfere. In a deep voice, Pigeon said, “The emba.s.sy made the worst arrangements. If Azure Bird is discovered by Antonio, they’ll have no choice but to smuggle themselves back into the country.”
“Let’s hope they get away safely and get through the 12 hours they’ll be here.”
No one spoke again. Abandoning their comrades and leaving first… They were forced to do so.
“The military—”
Long Eagle had just mentioned the military when Pigeon, who knew what he wanted to say, interrupted with a bitter smile, “The military has already contacted me. We have to leave first. Jiang Gong and the others have a lot of information related to military defense. We can’t stay.”
“I also asked the emba.s.sy if we could delay the flight by an hour. The answer was no. The longer the engineers stay here, the more danger the country will be in. The information Jiang Gong and the others have is too important… If anything unexpected happens, our country will suffer incalculable losses. It’s not something we can imagine.”
