Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 1820 - 1821: Capturing the Base and Taking Xia Cheng
Sitting in Wu Jing’s car, Xia Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, this time his life was saved.
Listening to the explosions still roaring behind him, and seeing the firepower of the army of Shaiba increase, he couldn’t help but feel waves of fear in his heart.
"Where are we going now?" Xia Cheng asked Wu Jing beside him in confusion.
"Of course, back to the base." Wu Jing said and handed a black cloth to Xia Cheng.
Xia Cheng understood immediately and used it to cover his eyes.
At this time, Xiang Yu had already returned to his base. He was sitting in the office, waiting for news.
The first call came from Wang Qian. They had successfully taken four bases, which was easy and pleasant.
The four small bases of the Menghu Mercenary Corps were nothing compared to Wolf Fang’s men.
"How is the situation on your side?" Wang Qian asked worriedly, thinking it was Xiang Yu’s men attacking the main force.
"It’s good, almost taken." Xiang Yu replied calmly.
Wang Qian was somewhat shocked. She thought Xiang Yu would need several days to conquer the main base of the Menghu Mercenary Corps.
Moreover, she doubted whether Xiang Yu could capture the main base at all. It seems she had underestimated them.
"Hidden deep, huh." Wang Qian said somewhat displeased.
Xiang Yu didn’t explain much but laughed, saying, "These are nothing."
"Hmph, stop bragging, I’m hanging up now." Wang Qian said and hung up directly, wondering how Xiang Yu had done it.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Jing and the others had entered the base and brought Xia Cheng to Xiang Yu’s underground office.
"You’re finally back safely. I was worried about you." Xiang Yu hurried forward upon seeing Xia Cheng enter with his eyes covered.
Xia Cheng removed the blindfold, adjusted to the surrounding brightness, and then burst into tears—he cried very sadly.
"Xiang Yu, thank you this time. I owe you my life." Xia Cheng said.
Xiang Yu glanced at Wu Jing and then smiled, saying, "That’s serious, brother. We are all mercenaries; it’s only right to help each other."
Wu Jing stood to the side, merely smiling before turning and leaving.
Xiang Yu helped Xia Cheng to sit on the sofa on one side, poured him a glass of water, and said: "The base here is gone, what are your plans for the future?"
Xia Cheng’s emotions had hit rock bottom. Originally, Xiang Yu was the one to rely on him, but now it was reversed; he found himself in someone else’s base.
"No plans. Commander Cao certainly doesn’t know I’ve escaped yet." Xia Cheng said, with some loss in his eyes.
Commander Cao couldn’t help at the critical moment, making him lose some trust.
"Otherwise, stay here. Although my place is a bit small and it’s on Shaiba’s blacklist, as long as we don’t go out and stay here, the safety is not an issue." Xiang Yu said.
Xia Cheng glanced around Xiang Yu’s office, eyeing it with some disdain. If he had to hide in such a place every day, he’d go crazy.
But since Xiang Yu saved him, he sighed and said, "Let’s wait and see."
"Alright, you’re definitely tired now. I’ll have someone arrange a room for you, so you can rest." Xiang Yu said very caringly.
Xia Cheng thought for a moment and nodded.
Tie Zhuzi walked in and took Xia Cheng away.
After Xia Cheng left, Wu Jing and Xiao Xuan entered, looking gloating.
"Brother Yu, I wonder what Xia Cheng’s reaction will be when he finds out we planned this?" Wu Jing couldn’t help but laugh.
Xiang Yu just smiled and didn’t say much about it, asking instead, "How are our brothers’ casualties?"
"Only one brother was slightly injured, the others are safe." Wu Jing quickly replied.
"Be stable these days, no movements." Xiang Yu said.
"Got it." Wu Jing said.
The Menghu Mercenary Corps has already been wiped out, whether it’s Shaiba’s army or hidden forces, they are bound to make moves.
At this time, in Ailock’s office in Shaiba’s army, the third commander was sitting opposite him, saying, "Leader, the base of the opposition has been taken, and over a hundred of them were captured alive."
Ailock’s face relaxed a little upon hearing, nodding, "What’s our casualty situation?"
"Under control." The third commander didn’t specify.
Ailock didn’t pry further and nodded, saying, "Conduct a thorough investigation of the rebel forces, don’t let any slip."
The third commander nodded, looking like he had something to say.
"If you have something, just say it." Ailock figured.
"While we attacked their base, four other places also saw battles, with Wolf Fang involved." The third commander said.
"What?" Ailock frowned upon hearing Wolf Fang, "What’s going on?"
"According to our intelligence, the rebel forces don’t only have one base, but the other four bases as well, attacked by Wolf Fang." The third commander said.
Ailock remained silent while the third commander said, "Leader, are they trying to win us over?"
Ailock also nodded, saying, "That possibility isn’t ruled out; investigate this thoroughly. Also, bring Rumus over; I want to see him."
The third commander nodded and then left.
At this time, Rumus was in his office, anxiously pacing, unsure of what Xiang Yu would think if he couldn’t contact him.
Just then, security personnel came in, holding a phone, saying, "Report, Leader, there’s a call for you."
Rumus promptly rushed over to take the phone.
"It’s me." The third commander’s voice was steady.
"Leader, how’s the battle at the front?" Rumus asked worriedly.
"It’s settled, and now Number One Leader wants to see you, come quick." The third commander finished and hung up directly.
Rumus stood there for quite a while, unable to react; being summoned by Number One Leader left him bewildered.
It seemed he had regained freedom.
Rumus held the phone for a long time before calling Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu had guessed Rumus was being detained, but didn’t blame him and answered, "How’s the commander?"
Rumus said anxiously, "Xiang Yu, I apologize; I was detained, unable to reach out."
"Forget it, don’t call yourself a big commander anymore; if nothing else, I’m hanging up." Xiang Yu pretended anger.
"Please, I didn’t do it intentionally." Rumus hurriedly said upon seeing Xiang Yu angry.
Xiang Yu had offered lots of help, and Rumus was grateful, not wanting to lose this friend. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
After chatting a bit, Rumus said, "Number One wants to see me; not sure if it’s good or bad."
"It’s good, he wants to give you an important role." Xiang Yu smiled and said...
