Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 708: Crossing the Forest
At this moment, Mu Qiancheng, who was trekking through the jungle, suddenly sneezed, startling everyone. Chen Ming asked concernedly, "Zero One, are you sick? Do you need to take some medicine?"
"I’m fine!" Mu Qiancheng shook his head, knowing his own body well. Ever since joining the unit, he rarely got sick.
The reason for the sneeze today was probably because his young wife was thinking of him. He wondered how she was doing now, and whether her exams were going smoothly. Originally, he planned to accompany her to the exam, but who knew a mission would come up at the last minute.
"Let’s go!" Mu Qiancheng pulled his thoughts back, gently pushed Chen Ming, and then delved deeper into the jungle. This time, they were on a secret mission to rescue hostages in the depths of the jungle.
A week ago, several medical experts were kidnapped on their way back from attending a conference abroad. According to reports, they were kidnapped by a group of terrorists.
The terrorists had their eyes on a new drug developed by the medical experts and intended to seize it for themselves.
Upon being informed, the higher-ups ordered the unit to rescue these experts and eliminate the terrorists.
To dare to kidnap our Huaxian compatriots, they have a death wish. Because the location where the terrorists were based was outside the borders of J Province, in a no-man’s-land, which happened to fall under the jurisdiction of Mu Qiancheng’s unit, the mission was assigned to them.
Mu Qiancheng cautiously led the members of Sharp Blade close to the forest where the terrorists were reportedly based. The mountainous, dense forest was indeed a good hiding place. However, Mu Qiancheng and his team didn’t know the exact location of their opponents, only a general direction.
Therefore, once they entered the dense forest, Mu Qiancheng instructed his brothers to become even more cautious.
"Zero One, we’ve been walking for half a day now, when will we find the terrorists?" In the middle of a break, Ling Qi asked. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Yesterday, they reached the outskirts of the woodlands and started traversing this forest since last night; it had been over twenty hours now. They didn’t move slowly, yet had found nothing so far.
He suspected that perhaps someone had deceived them and there were no terrorists here at all.
"Don’t worry, if the people above say they’re here, then they definitely are. Don’t forget, we have an insider among those people." Mu Qiancheng reassured his subordinates, although he had his own doubts. But the people above wouldn’t deceive them. If they said the terrorists had settled here, then they must be here.
It’s just that the forest is so vast, it’s difficult to find them quickly.
After listening to Mu Qiancheng, everyone fell silent and continued resting while gnawing on their dry rations. Meanwhile, Chen Ming walked up to Mu Qiancheng and took out the map to study it with him.
The map had been given to them by their superiors during the mission briefing. It was said that this map was taken by satellite and there was only this one.
As for this forest, before the terrorists arrived, almost no one had ever been here. Before, while traversing, they also noticed that there wasn’t even a path; they had progressed little by little using a compass.
"Zero One, where do you think those people might be hiding?" Chen Ming asked Mu Qiancheng, who was deep in thought, after looking at the map again and again.
Mu Qiancheng was also pondering this question. Where could those people be hiding?
"Zero One, I once heard a story," Chen Ming said hesitantly, looking at the frowning Mu Qiancheng. "A few years ago, I heard that there were wildmen sighted in this forest."
