Chapter 974 - Attack Of A Sharp Blade
“Q King, we have to find a short route for this 300 km. We won’t be able to reach in the fastest time possible if we use our legs.”
Xia Jinyuan glanced at T8 who asked the question. He smiled faintly and replied, “That’s true. I went to ask around and know that there’s a place we can pass through.” He tapped the mountains with his fingertips. “We will go through this place. Someone will bring us over.”
A few gazes stared directly at the mountains he was pointing at. They needed to climb an ice mountain that was 6000 meters above sea level and enter the desert country the ST mercenary team was at in the fastest time possible.
“Duration: one day, 24 hours. What do you think?” When he finished speaking, Xia Jinyuan’s gaze brushed past Ye Jian’s face lightly. Little Fox, you chose a mission that is difficult from the start. Do you regret it?
Regret? A small smile appeared at the corners of her lips. Her gaze was filled with defiance.
Major Xia, in the past, when she was running for her life, she collated endurance, leg strength, and persistence for two lifetimes. There was no problem with climbing a mountain.
When she was in the depopulated zone in Tibet, she passed through mostly ice mountains and snow peaks with Principal Chen. Sometimes, at night, they would walk in the snow with a 6.5 kg sniper rifle on their backs. Yet, she managed to survive it.
She had prepared for so many years… No, she could even say that she had started preparing since her past life. She walked through her past life with blood and tears. If she had the slightest thought of retreat, she would look down on herself.
Xia Jinyuan received her defiant gaze and lifted the corners of his lips lightly. Good fellow, she gets braver as she fights.
“Can we choose to ride horses? Find a rider in Kyrgyzstan?” Han Zheng, who was holding the flashlight, said in a low voice, “We can ride horses first. It will save us some time.”
G3 shook his head and replied, “To the civilians, the ST mercenary team is a catastrophe. We can’t bring the catastrophe to them. I agree with walking. Also, it’s not suitable to ride horses on an ice mountain.”
“No, I mean that we can ride horses on the Wakhan Corridor. We can borrow horses from the local shepherds…”
Before Han Zheng could finish his sentence, G3 interrupted him. “The Wakhan Corridor is on the high and cold mountainous area. Besides June, July, and August, heavy snow will seal the mountain. The shepherds’ horses are probably kept in their stables. Where can we find horses to borrow? Even if we do manage to find them, the horses won’t be able to pass through areas with deep snow. In the end, we will be wasting our time. We don’t have a choice. We can only walk.”
“That’s right, we don’t have a choice. The warlords of this country are having an internal conflict. The ruthlessness of the ST mercenary team caused fear in the civilians. If we choose to walk, we can hide our identity and we won’t implicate any civilians.” V8 opened his mouth and said in a deep voice. They weren’t going there for Mission Storm. This time, they were entering this war-stricken country where no soldiers from any country were willing to enter because they needed to save their comrade. Safety was the prime priority of everyone.
Don’t alert anyone, don’t implicate anyone. They would only execute sneak attacks and fast retreats. This was the direction of this rescue mission.
Han Zheng’s expression turned serious. He nodded and said, “Okay, I agree to walk.”
“Agree to walk.”
“Agree to walk.”
A few voices sounded at once. They were low and stable. Ye Jian’s voice was among them too.
Xia Jinyuan never asked Ye Jian if she could climb the mountain at night. At this moment, there was no reason to ask.
Since she came, she needed to accept the harsh conditions and the various dangers unconditionally.
He had already devised their route. The follow-up arrangements and tactics were prepared too. In the shaky truck, his low and stern voice entered everyone’s ears clearly, “We need to disguise ourselves as locals. After entering the war zone, we have to check our items and enter the black market to buy weapons. Then, we will rent a car and move towards Registan.
