“A soldier that doesn’t aspire to be a commander is not a good soldier; you must remember this. Your goal shouldn’t be just a soldier; you’ll also have to become a soldier that knows how to command troops in the war. You need to know how to conduct military operations and command soldiers to fight; only then would you understand.”
Ye Jian’s body was trembling, she fixed her gaze at him, staring at his thin lips, she spoke with a soft voice: “I want water, I want to drink water.” She was thirsty; she was so thirsty her heart was panicking.
She rushed over to the coffee table; her hand covered the teacup that was still lidded. After steadying her fingertips that were still trembling, she wasted no time and finished the cold water leftover from last night in one gulp, allowing the water’s cold feel to wash down the panicked feeling these questions had brought her.
She would’ve never thought she would be someone who commanded troops in battle; all she knew was that the situation they are currently in is very dangerous!
There’s also K7. Before K7 is confirmed to have escaped danger, then the mission cannot end; they will never abandon their comrades, so the mission will still proceed!
The cold water seemed to have washed down the panicked feeling in her heart. After taking a deep breath, Ye Jian turned around and looked at Xia Jinyuan with a cold and sharp gaze. “You’ve mentioned just now that even though K7 had contacted G3, he didn’t send his coordinates. You suspect that K7 contacted you guys last night to purposely report his safety so that you guys could feel assured, and he decided to sacrifice himself, making it so you guys shouldn’t look for him!”
The camaraderie between comrades could evolve onto the stage of ‘my death for your survival.’ If K7 were really captured, she wouldn’t doubt that he had decided to sacrifice himself so that his comrades wouldn’t return and rescue him!
K7’s thin but still handsome looking face flashed in her mind. Though a man of few words, he was a young soldier whose every word was a gem. Both of Ye Jian’s hands clenched tightly; her voice was so cold that it seeped out bloodlust: “After taking care of the missions in Yunnan, we’ll return to look for K7, that’s what we must do, I support your decision.”
“What I wanted to ask is about the other comrades? Do they also need to return like you have to, but your current identities aren’t legal, what about weapons? What are you guys going to do about weapons? The most Hou Zi can provide you guys in the weapons department is just firearms and munitions, if you guys want to rescue him, then you’ll need to prepare something with more firepower, like grenades, that’s something that you’ll need to consider.”
“You mentioned G3 just now. Since G3 is K7’s point of contact, where is he now?”
Ye Jian didn’t have just one question. Instead, she shot one after the other, and each keener than the last, “While inside the country, you can still contact Hou Zi, but after leaving the country, who are you going to look for? The moment you guys run out of weapons, what are you going to do? The black market?”
Xia Jinyuan’s nerves were pricked every time by her questions that hit the nail on the head. As expected of a comrade whom he had worked on a mission together before, her questions came one after the other, and each one of them was asking the important questions.
After organizing his thoughts for a moment, he answered seriously, “G3 is already moving towards Yunnan. He is the only person who is most acquainted with K7’s situation, and he’s also involved in the operation of luring out the snakes. Furthermore, G3 also needs weapons. When he has arrived in Yunnan, we’ll be taking away the best weapons from Hou Zi’s hands.”
“Even if Hou Zi has weapons on him, will it be enough? Our country has forbidden private collections of weapons; this is illegal! Even if Hou Zi had weapons, how many would he have?” Ye Jian was practically chasing him down with questions, but at least she was quite calm and wasn’t losing much composure.
Ye Jian belonged to the type of people who gets calmer; the more urgent a situation is, the calmer she gets, the better she realizes that this isn’t just something trivial this time around.
The news Xia Jinyuan had returned with was just too appalling, she wasn’t even involved in the previous mission, no matter how calm she usually was, she still seemed quite irritable right now.
