Chapter 990 - Escape
Chapter 990: Escape
Not ordinary, how exactly is Ye Jian1 unordinary, everyone has their own scale in their heart.
Outside was still in chaos. The whole ST mercenary headquarters had entered Stage One Alert and had put all of their electric generators to use. Along with the rumbling noises, the coils inside the generators spun faster and faster,… the lights in the ST headquarters did not light up as expected, and their surroundings were still shrouded in darkness.
Two figures sticking close to the wall, stepping without noise, and leaped inside from a window after they landed, they rolled around twice then stuck close to the wall.
“Ye Jian, stay alert!” Xia Jinyuan2 didn’t even gasp for breath after entering and immediately made Ye Jian lookout. He then hugged K7, who was breathing unsteadily, then loosened his grip and grabbed his shoulders. He lowered his voice: “You gave us fake intel, you’re responsible for writing our reports when we get back!”
Still alive! Although he was injured, he was still alive!
As long as he was alive, it doesn’t matter if he was hurt!
K7 moved his lips and tried to smile uncharacteristically. His chest moved rapidly as he spoke: “Can’t help it. When I was thinking of sending another message, I’ve already smashed the phone to pieces.”
“What a pig head!” Pigeon chuckled, then turned towards Xia Jinyuan: “What now, did you manage to contact them?”
“Yeah, I did, they drew a map for me.” Xia Jinyuan pulled out a small flashlight that shone a red light. He shone it on the floor, then used his dagger to carve their escape route on the floor, “G3, T6, and V8 will cause a commotion at the front, then we’ll climb over the walls from the back. Behind that is a 90-degree vertical drop sand dune, it’s 900 meters away from the exit. Ye Jian will cover our six, and I’ll spearhead the way, Pigeon will be carrying K7 as we retreat.”
Xia Jinyuan finished and turned off the red flashlight; he landed his eyes on K7’s face, “Can you walk by yourself? I want to hear the truth.”
“…” K7 opened his mouth and scrunched up his brows: “900 meters won’t be a problem temporarily, but let Pigeon help me with this, I’ll just be a burden if I run alone. They injected me with something similar to a neurotic pain enhancer, and there’s still some residue effects, my muscles feel weak.”
Hearing that, the faces on the three others went cold, Xia Jinyuan clenched his jaw and ordered Pigeon: “We’ll leave him to you!”
“Okay, no problem!” Pigeon nodded his head, in the darkness, those eyes that were filled with daggers were boiling with killing intent, “The two of you be careful!”
At the start, chaos remained. ST mercenaries and the government soldiers didn’t trust each other previously, and the explosion directly shattered that thin layer of brittle trust. After including a government soldier’s statement of seeing a mercenary in the uniform of the Miscellaneous troops leaving before the explosion, both sides were in a standoff, pointing guns at each other and not believing anyone.
The government soldiers didn’t trust ST even more now. Everybody here knew that no one would dare infiltrate this place without proper measures, so clearly, this was ST’s own men trying to make a wreck to raise their fees!
When Sakra was informed that his captive was missing, the whole situation’s intensity kicked up a couple of notches. T6, who blended in amongst the government soldiers, cussed in the official language, Farsi, and picked up his gun and opened fire at some place.
Both sides were on a standoff before this, the moment they heard gunshots… the entirety of ST headquarters was enveloped in bullets.
When the government army officials sitting inside the room heard the gunshots, their expressions changed drastically. Every one of them pulled out their guns at pointing them at Sakra. This scenario was exactly the type of scenario Xia Jinyuan, and the others would be happy to witness.
This was also why they said ‘great news’ when they noticed the appearance of the government troops. When the two factions fought each other, a third faction could fish in the muddy waters and retreat easily, How was that not great news?
Furthermore, the Chinese military didn’t have any intention of fighting head-on with ST, nor did they have any intention of becoming enemies with ST. At least, they don’t have such thoughts at the moment.
Of course, that was on the absolute premise that ST did not antagonize China!
