the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1037: Trekking Deep Into the Heartland for Rescue
Richard Shaw’s handsome and stern face showed a hint of deep thought. He quickly issued orders to his helicopter, instructing the receiver to transfer the signal to his own device, and he stood up to leave.
"Major General, let me go. A few days ago, a skirmish occurred between Massa and Shiva, and that area is now on high alert. If we’re discovered, they might think we’re trying to provoke a war. I’ll lead a team to sneak in and make sure to bring Madam back." Jagger Lloyd quickly followed behind, requesting permission. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Richard Shaw said in a deep voice, "It’s precisely because a skirmish just occurred that we can’t alarm anyone. I’ll take Eamon Turner and enter on foot while you provide support from the perimeter."
Jagger Lloyd’s face changed dramatically and tried to persuade him, but the man had already waved for him to say no more.
Richard Shaw and his subordinate, Eamon Turner, changed into civilian clothes, grabbed their backpacks, and boarded the helicopter. They continuously received Crystal Landon’s signal while she gradually ventured deeper into the territory. His expression grew darker as he recalled the Military District’s analysis of the two warlords: Massa was most adept at using landmines, and if they mistakenly entered a minefield...
The man’s grip on the satellite receiver tightened as veins began to bulge faintly.
He hadn’t been back for a year, and her face was becoming a bit blurred in his memory. He only remembered a beautiful girl, not just pretty but also very reckless and free-spirited, unwilling to suffer any loss.
He had been preoccupied with military duties over the past year with almost no interaction with her, learning about her updates only when he video-called his grandmother.
If it weren’t for her mistakenly entering the southern Yunnan area this time, he might have forgotten he even had a wife.
"Major General, we can’t fly any further." The pilot reported quietly, "Ahead is a magnetic field area; if the helicopter enters, it will suffer mechanical failure and crash."
Richard Shaw nodded, then with Eamon Turner, he parachuted down and proceeded on foot, tracking the signal emission point.
Crystal Landon followed Lucas Thorne and others, feeling increasingly uneasy. After walking for nearly an hour, with a slightly cold expression, she said, "Mr. Thorne, we’ve completely lost our direction and there are almost no signs of people around. If we keep wandering aimlessly, the rescue team won’t be able to find us."
Lucas Thorne felt increasingly unsure as they proceeded, with the light in the two boys’ eyes gradually diminishing. A sense of fear crept into the group, worrying that they might perish in the deep mountains.
Catherine Webb was already frightened and crying, shouting at Crystal, "You kept saying there was a rescue team, but it’s been an hour without any news. Are you lying to us?"
Crystal Landon was speechless at her line of thinking. She observed the terrain, noting the dense vegetation along the way, with only this area having slightly sparser vegetation. They could temporarily set camp here, but everyone was enveloped in fear, feeling like stopping meant waiting for death, and no one wanted to set up camp.
"It’s getting dark; we must set up camp immediately." Seeing the visibility drop, Crystal ignored their pride and said, "I sent out a distress signal to the nearby Military District. If I’m not wrong, we’ve likely crossed the border unintentionally and entered the Golden Triangle’s territory. For them to come over, they need not only time but also to disguise themselves; otherwise, it could destabilize the border."
"Crystal, is it that serious? I feel like we’re still in the mountainous area of southern Yunnan, just lost." Jagger Lloyd said.
"Teacher, we should keep looking for a way out. Staying here means death." Long Jian said with some unease.
Fear spread in the hearts of everyone all at once.
