K7’s obsession with cleanliness had caused both G3 and Xia Jinyuan to fall into silence. After a while had passed, Xia Jinyuan asked in a severe tone: “Say, do you think that lad would’ve died from thirst?”
After he finished, the atmosphere inside the car fell into silence again, then G3 exclaimed: “That’s possible, so, we’ll have to go quicker. From my understanding of him, he won’t share water, won’t share sleeping spots, won’t share a bowl… Goddamn! I’ve never thought that he’d get into situations like this in the past and now this happened! Why do I have a feeling his germaphobia will get him killed!”
Physical torture, water drowning, snakes, insects, vermin, electric shocks, fire branding, injection of all types of chemicals, be it cardiotonic, doping stimulants, capsaicin… etcetera… they’re not worried K7 won’t last through them, on the contrary, they’re more worried that K7 will kill himself because of his germaphobic tendencies.
Making himself die of thirst…, probably won’t happen.
The two of them were thinking about that in their minds until G3’s phone that was used to remain in contact with the military started ringing.
There was no caller indicator on the phone’s screen, G3 picked up the phone, and before he was able to speak, the army’s Major General’s voice could be heard from the phone, “Have you rendezvoused with Q King?”
……
Why does his voice sound like there’s a tone he’s trying to censure somebody, what the hell did Q King do… for the Major General to try to censure him?
As a member of the Special Forces, G3’s instincts were really sharp; he noticed something was wrong with just one sentence.
He glanced at Xia Jinyuan and spoke sternly: “Report, Q King is driving.”
“You drive, I have something to discuss with him.” After drinking three bowls of cold water continuously, did he wash down his burning fury, and then he tried thinking in Xia Jinyuan’s position, only then did the Major General decide not to continue pursuing Xia Jinyuan’s actions of not listening to his command.
G3 covered up the phone’s microphone, he leaned his body backward and asked quietly, “Q King, what the hell did you do this time? The Major General is calling me in order to censure you.”
“Didn’t do much, I just hung up the Major General’s phone call.” Xia Jinyuan, who was driving on the left side, slowly made his way to the right side of the highway. Since Ye Jian wasn’t by his side right now, there’s no harm in taking the Major General’s phone call now.
“We’re currently on the highway, we still need to find a spot to stop the car, please give us some time. Over.” G3 gave a big thumbs up to Q King, who dared to hang up on the Major General while he reported their current situation with a serious face.
The Major general replied with an “Mmm,” then continued: “Remain in communications, if you dare hang up on me again, you’ll be court-martialed.”
……
Thank god his hands were slow and didn’t hang up. G3, who was celebrating in his heart, was prepared to toss this ‘hot potato’ in his hands away.
He really didn’t have Q King’s guts and dare to hang up on the Major General.
Xia Jinyuan stopped the car at a temporary car stop. Receiving the phone, G3 passed to him quickly, “This is Q King.”
“You little brat, you’ve grown bolder and dared to hang up on me!” Flames poured out of the Major General’s nostrils, but his voice was considered relatively… mild. Xia Jinyuan was a prideful fellow if they butt heads against each other, the more intense you get, the more he screws you over.
To brush the tiger, you’ll have to go with the grain of its fur, and now, he had to brush the fur of this Tiger Xia!
His voice went lower; the Major General advised: “I know what you’re worried about, but you have to believe in Ye Jian. We all believe in her, so why can’t you believe in your own comrade? Ye Jian isn’t somebody else, she’s your comrade!”
“K7 is also not somebody else, he’s Ye Jian’s comrade! Now K7 is in a tough situation, Ye Jian wouldn’t stand by and watch, and we are also hoping for her to join in. Why does your platoon need a female soldier to be mixed in?”
“You are very clear about the reason behind it all. Female soldiers have features that male soldiers like you do not possess, she can lower the guard of the ST mercenary army and achieve a surprising outcome.”
“Also, Ye Jian is steady and brave. The probability of her being distracted is extremely small and with her participation in the rescue operation, our military department will have higher certainty that you all will return safely.”
