Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
From the information exchange that had just ended, the people of Daybreak Squad 5 had already advanced about 500 meters. They were only 500 meters away from Geng Hu’s ambush location.
Qin Yuan immediately informed Geng Hu of this information. The other party was very confident in his strength and had been emphasizing how powerful he was and that he was not afraid of the other party’s troops.
“You still have to pay attention to preserving your combat strength. Although our goal is to destroy the other party, I don’t want our side to pay too heavy a price. Remember, do what you can. If you can’t do it, wait for us to come over.”
Qin Yuan instructed him repeatedly.
“Okay, I got it. How long will it take for you to arrive?”
Geng Hu asked.
“We’ll be there in five minutes.”
Qin Yuan said truthfully.
He had already calculated on his side. Although the two mecha clans had gathered, Qin Yuan still had to leave a portion of his troops here as a backup force. Therefore, the number of people in this operation was only about the same as their combined strength. However, they were all elite troops selected from the two mecha clans.
Therefore, their speed was relatively fast.
They were about a kilometer away from Geng Hu’s location.
Normally, they would arrive in five minutes.
“Alright, we’ll wait for you here. When the time comes, you have to give us some support weapons.”
Geng Hu said with a smile.
“Got it, you weapon collector.”
Qin Yuan agreed with a smile.
Then, he hung up the phone and Qin Yuan’s troops continued to march.
They were still five minutes away from Geng Hu’s location, but they could not let their guard down. They had to keep in touch with Geng Hu. After all, the other party’s troops were also on the way.
The team walked in the jungle for about a minute before Qin Yuan called Geng Hu’s walkie-talkie again.
However, after shaking it for a long time, he did not receive a response.
This made Qin Yuan feel a little uneasy. After all, Geng Hu would answer the call immediately every time he called.
“What happened?”
He Chenguang asked.
Qin Yuan shook his head.
“I don’t know. The walkie-talkie can be connected, but I can’t get a response from the other party.”
Qin Yuan said in a low voice.
“I have a bad feeling.”
He Chenguang frowned.
Qin Yuan knew what he was thinking, but he did not explain it.
He was also very worried about Geng Hu’s situation. It was definitely not a good thing to suddenly lose contact without any warning.
Worry slowly rose in Qin Yuan’s heart.
” Speed up and reach the destination in two minutes!”
Qin Yuan gave the order to the team.
This was the only way to get an answer in a short period of time.
The soldiers also learned about Geng Hu’s situation from Qin Yuan, so the logistics company’s marching speed was very fast.
The team was as efficient as they said they would be. In just two minutes, they arrived at the location that Geng Hu had given them.
However, after arriving here, the scene in front of him made Qin Yuan gasp.
A sea of fire had already been set ablaze on the grassland in front of them. Waves of earth-shattering wails and cries could be heard from within.
” What’s going on?!”
Whether it was He Chenguang or his soldiers, they all began to exclaim in surprise.
Qin Yuan and Geng Hu had only been on the phone for a few minutes, and such a terrifying thing had happened. It was really terrifying.
Qin Yuan carefully observed the scene in front of him and found that there were no obvious traces of soldiers from the logistics company.
“Start searching the scene immediately and see if you can find any clues!”
Qin Yuan shouted.
He knew that every minute and second was very precious now. It could be related to the survival of a life.
“Yes, sir!”
The soldiers below received the order and immediately replied.
Then, the large group immediately entered the forest and began to search the scene.
The fire was very fierce, so the rescue soldiers could not enter the scene immediately.
He could only listen to the painful howls from the side.
“I found a companion!”
A soldier suddenly shouted.
Qin Yuan was shocked when he heard that and immediately walked over.
He came in front of the soldier. As expected, in front of him, Qin Yuan saw a path that led inside. The fire did not spread to this place.
From the middle, a few people could be seen moaning in pain.
Looking closely, it was indeed a few soldiers wearing the uniform of the logistics company!
Some of them were injured, while others were lucky not to be injured because they had the protection of their companions.
Qin Yuan hurriedly passed through the sea of fire and entered the small open space inside.
“How are you guys? What happened here?”
Qin Yuan asked with concern.
“Captain Qin Yuan!”
When they saw Qin Yuan, they were all shocked.
The few of them quickly came in front of Qin Yuan and complained incessantly.
“It’s Daybreak’s troops! They’re coming to ambush us!”
A few people said with ashen faces.
“You guys, carry the injured comrades back for treatment!”
Qin Yuan said to the soldiers who had followed him.
His subordinates escorted the two injured soldiers back, leaving three uninjured soldiers behind.
“Tell me the ins and outs of the matter. It’s concise and clear.”
Qin Yuan said to the three of them in a low voice.
“It’s like this! Right after Captain Qin and Captain Geng Hu finished their call! The other party launched an attack on us!”
One of the soldiers said.
“So they had already discovered our location! Then, they launched a fierce attack!”
“When we came back to our senses, we found that we were surrounded by the other party!”
“The enemy threw a fireball at us, and this place instantly turned into a sea of fire! Many of the soldiers were directly burned!”
The soldier’s expression was sorrowful.
“Where’s Geng Hu?”
Qin Yuan asked.
“Captain Geng Hu, we didn’t see where he went either!”
the soldier replied.
“It seems that they were captured by the leader of the other party!”
Another soldier replied.
Qin Yuan’s expression was gloomy as he frowned and said,
“Where did the other party go? Did you see him?”
“How many soldiers do we have left?”
“I wonder where Captain Geng Hu is! “But I saw that our people were all swallowed up by this sudden fire! I reckon he’s already dead!”
The man said sadly.
Qin Yuan’s heart was also filled with endless pain.
This was a powerful force they had!
Just like that, they were almost wiped out by the other party in just a few minutes!
What a shocking thing!
“Who are they? Which direction did he go?”
Qin Yuan continued to ask.
“It’s Daybreak’s men! He’s heading east! Their troops and weapons are much better than ours!”
“Okay, I understand. You guys have worked hard. Go back and meet up with the main group. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Qin Yuan nodded and said to the soldiers.
“Yes, sir!”
The few of them walked out of the camp and returned to the logistics company.
Qin Yuan and He Chenguang continued to search for anyone who might have survived.
Although the two soldiers had already concluded this place, Qin Yuan would not give up any hope until he searched every inch of the place.
Qin Yuan and He Chenguang began to search the fire.
Just as the two soldiers had said, the scene was filled with the bodies of the logistics company’s soldiers. No traces of the enemy were found.
It seemed that he had indeed been plotted against by the other party, but Qin Yuan did not slow down his search.
This was because he had to find traces of Geng Hu here to confirm if he was really in trouble.
After all, if he was alive, he had to see the person, and if he was dead, he had to see the corpse.
It was impossible for Geng Hu to disappear for no reason.
The two of them continued to search for Geng Hu in the sea of fire for a while, but they still found nothing.
“He might have been taken away.”
He Chenguang wiped the sweat off his forehead.
“Yes, we’ve basically searched this place, but there’s indeed no trace of him.”
Qin Yuan nodded to confirm.
Indeed, they had searched every corner of the place and did not find any trace of Geng Hu.
If they continued to stay here, firstly, the temperature would be too high and they would not be able to stand it. Secondly, the team would still need them to go back and command the battle tactics.
Qin Yuan and He Chenguang did not hesitate. They turned around and walked out of the sea of fire to return to the team.
