Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

Chapter 984: Secretly Do Something Huge

Holding a metal detector in her hand, Ye Jian moved towards the Southwest as quickly as she could.

To guarantee complete success when they were saving K7, the members of the Xueyu unit traveled continuously for 24 hours without stopping from the Southern Province of China to this war-stricken country. They passed through five provinces in this country to reach Helmand.

80% of the families in Helmand planted poppy. They smuggled it out of the borders to earn high revenues. This money was mostly used to support the rebels in the nation. Part of it was given to the ST mercenary team. In Helmand and Registan, the ST mercenary team provided cover for some civilians or officials. But, they were the nightmares of some poor civilians too.

Two hours after arriving in Helmand, T6 got some information with the help of his fluent Persia. He knew that the places where the ST mercenary team locked up ‘culprits’ or disobedient civilians were congregated in the Southeast. That was also the place where they executed people.

Now, Ye Jian had only one thing to do. She needed to give the metal detector to K7!

V8 and the other people would secretly save K7 based on his position. As for Xia Jinyuan, he was on a solo mission too. He would create an explosion in the ST mercenary base to distract the mercenaries and cover-up for Ye Jian while she searched for the name list. Then, he would cover-up for his other comrades as they saved K7.

They wouldn’t exchange gunfire with the ST mercenary team. This was their base. Only people whose brains were rusty enough to think that they were invincible would do something like this.

If you put it in nicer terms, the first part of this mission was ‘making profit during troubled times’ and the path of retreat was ‘doing something under the cover of another thing’.

If you put it directly, using G3’s coarse words: Secretly do something huge!

All the houses in the ST mercenary base were made using clay, gravel, and sand. Whenever Ye Jian hid in a corner, her white shaw would get stained with yellowish-brown mud. If she could, she wanted to roll on the ground so that her white clothes would turn yellow.

It was too conspicuous if she wore a white shaw that would float in the wind in the middle of the night!

“How’s the situation? Are there any movements?” After entering the ST mercenary base for 12 hours, Ye Jian contacted the other members of the Xueyu unit. All the teams that were awaiting orders started exchanging information. This question was directed at T6 who was the nearest to the ST base.

One hour ago, Z7 built a small ultrashort wave radio station. It was small but the signal was stable and it could send out maps and data using infrared scanning.

The data of the metal detector’s position had already been downloaded on the laptop they bought at the Helmand market. The moment Ye Jian found K7 and activated the GPS, they would be able to find K7’s location accurately.

Now, there was no change in the wavelength. Z7 said in a low voice, “No. See if we have any feedback from Q King. His electromagnetic signal is silent. I’m unable to contact him temporarily.”

This meant that he had cut the contact with the radio wave. Xia Jinyuan was afraid that there was an electromagnetic interference system in the ST base that could detect their signals… They would get exposed before their mission even started.

“All of you will wait at the selected locations. I will go around the Southwest corner to take a look. She has gone in for 12 hours. There are four hours until the sky turns dark… Based on her efficiency, she should have made some discovery.” T6 didn’t wait at the spot. He slowly pushed himself out of a pile of sand. After some time, he said, “So cold.”

He buried himself in the sand so the cold wind couldn’t reach his body. The difference in temperature in the day and night was vast. After coming out of the sandpile, the coldness scratched against his skin and seeped into his bones.

The location of the ST base was good. The desert was in front and there was a river which flowed from the high mountains behind them. Further in front, it was the desolated area of Registan. The view from the ST base, which was on top of a gravel hill, was extremely good. When the sentinels stood on the high walls, they could see everybody walking below clearly.

Of course, this only applied during the daytime.
