Chapter 2025: Are You Afraid?
“That’s right. It also means that our mission is very dangerous. If we’re not careful, we might have to return in our comrades’ uniforms. So, Azure Bird, you must be mentally prepared,” Pigeon said softly and gently. He emphasized each word clearly as if he was reminding her.
Ye Jian nodded, indicating that she was prepared.
When the major general told her that the military headquarters would erase her identity, she knew how dangerous this mission was.
However, no matter how dangerous it was, she would still face it! She would never let down the responsibility that came with her military uniform!
She didn’t want to hear about the engineering team that was waiting to be rescued… She didn’t want to hear about their past.
The phone on Pigeon’s body started ringing. After the call was connected, Long Eagle’s voice was heard. Pigeon glanced at Ye Jian and smiled. “I’ve picked up Ye Jian.”
There was a question on the other end of the line, and Pigeon chuckled softly. “She’s in good spirits. She must’ve rested on the plane.”
Although Ye Jian didn’t know who it was, she could make out what the other party was asking. She raised her eyebrows and replied with a smile, “I slept from the take-off until the landing. I didn’t wake up halfway, so I’m naturally in good spirits. Thank you for your concern.”
“Did you hear that? she told you loud and clear that she’s in good spirits.” The smile on Pigeon’s face deepened, and he said, “Our current speed is 90, and we’ll arrive at the school in ten minutes. Well, Long Eagle still needs one and a half hours.”
There were a total of ten people on this mission. Long Eagle was from the Southern Province. When he received the mission, he immediately set off from home. The Southern Province was far away from Jin City. Therefore, he would be the last one to arrive.
The temporary meeting place was a hotel near Jin City’s Minhui University. After Long Eagle arrived, they would take a freighter from Jin City Dock. They would need to take a transit plane to reach their destination.
Ye Jian knew all the members of the Xueyu unit who were waiting in the hotel. They were all comrades who had participated in the training with Storm Commando. They gave new year greetings to each other and sat down to discuss.
“The satellite signal point is here… Our engineering team should be working here. The location of the signal point to the island is 400 kilometers.”
“Two hours before they were captured, they were still in contact with the country, but two hours later, they were 400 kilometers away. The military suspects that our engineering team took a helicopter and left the work site after their operation was hijacked.”
Pigeon, the leader of the operation team, said, “The helicopters that can appear at our construction site are all helicopters that have been approved by the government. This means that it’s likely our engineering team didn’t think anything was wrong when they boarded the helicopter. When they arrived at their destination, they realized that something was wrong, so they immediately contacted the country.
“The human body temperature signal has been flashing non-stop. We have temporarily confirmed that our engineering team has not been discovered by the other party. The local companies have yet to reach out and make contact. There are two possibilities. Firstly, they don’t know the situation. Secondly, they do know but don’t dare to contact our company.
“The local companies have been in contact with our country’s company for seven years, so the first possibility is very likely. It’s possible they still don’t know the situation and think that our engineering team is completing the mapping work normally.”
Sparrowhawk looked at the battle map, then looked at the information of the companies in the country’s interface. He said in a low voice, “If the local companies don’t know about this yet, it’s actually good news for us. This means that our engineering team’s identity has not been exposed. Now that the human body temperature signal is still flashing, our engineering team’s personal safety is still ensured.”
