Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Chapter 312 Han Jie, Ye Tianchen hadn’t forgotten this woman, who was the first person he saw when he was reborn on Earth and opened his eyes.

His impression of Han Jie was actually quite good; despite some quarrels at the beginning, he could not forget Han Jie’s kindness to him. She was a strong, confident woman with a heroic air. When Ye Tianchen first joined the army, she had taken care of him a lot. After all, Han Jie had shown him favor, so he immediately decided to head to the border—this woman, he could not fail to save.

"Let’s go, let’s set off now!" Ye Tianchen turned around, ready to leave.

"Ha, why have you become so impatient, kid?" Yang Yi asked with a teasing smile.

"Elder Yang, you’re looking down on me, Ye Tianchen, too much. I, the great handsome man of the new century, am extremely loyal and devoted!" Ye Tianchen said seriously.

"Alright, since you’ve agreed, then this task is yours to handle. I hope you can complete it brilliantly!" said the supreme commander with a smile.

"Don’t worry, Elder, Han Jie and I are friends. I can’t ignore it when she’s in trouble!" Ye Tianchen patted his chest and said.

"Kid, it’s rare for you not to bargain with us. We were saying that if you completed this task, we could promote your father by one level..."

Before Yang Yi could finish, Ye Tianchen had already dashed up to him, and with a smirk, said:

"That settles it, deal!"

No one expected Ye Tianchen to change his expression so quickly; he truly was a marvel, leaving the commander, Yang Yi, and Cang Lang all with darkened faces, at a loss for words, especially seeing Ye Tianchen’s sleazy grin.

"No deal, go if you want to!" Yang Yi regained his composure and said slyly.

"Elder Yang, that’s where you are wrong. As a national leader, it’s not right to go back on your words," Ye Tianchen quickly made a somewhat angry face and said.

"This time, I’ll accompany you, and we’ll use the military helicopter directly..."

At this time, Cang Lang was already walking toward the door while talking, leaving Ye Tianchen quite speechless. He had just realized that leaders like the commander and Elder Yang were indeed cunning and difficult to fool. They could outplay him by tenfold in being unreasonable, and he couldn’t help but admire them.

When Ye Tianchen arrived outside the Zhongnanhai office building, a military helicopter was already waiting outside, with Cang Lang already in the co-pilot seat, just waiting for Ye Tianchen.

"Hurry up, kid, or do you want to chase after the helicopter?" Cang Lang teased Ye Tianchen, who had, in a sense, gone from strangers to good friends.

"Please, I only shoot planes, chasing planes is something you would do," Ye Tianchen rolled his eyes at Cang Lang and said.

Cang Lang was speechless at Ye Tianchen, who could always pop up with some bizarre statement at times, leaving you not knowing whether to laugh or cry and just looking at Ye Tianchen speechlessly. Cang Lang then told the pilot: "Head to Black Mist Forest at the border!"

"Yes!" the pilot nodded and replied.

"Huh? Black Mist Forest, what’s happened there now?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but pause and ask.

"That’s on the border of Yunnan. It’s a place chosen by many major drug lords and smugglers because there lies a vast Original Forest, and the terrain is very rugged, making it difficult to control. Hence, the nation has stationed a group of Elite Special Soldiers there year-round to strike against the desperados who try to enter our country and smuggle goods across the border," Cang Lang explained to Ye Tianchen.

The border line of the Black Mist Forest is in Yunnan, yet not in Yunnan, as it is very far from Yunnan. Due to the terrain, it is difficult to control. It has become not only a route chosen by many smuggling desperados, but also a crucial channel for some secret missions of China to go abroad. Therefore, heavy troops, all top-notch Elite Special Soldiers, are stationed there year-round.

"No wonder when our group came back, we passed through the Black Mist Forest. It seems that many things should not be known to the outside world!" Ye Tianchen thought and said.

"The struggle between nations has never ceased, nor will it ever," Cang Lang said with a bitter smile. "We’ve done much for the country and the people, yet these acts will never be known to the general public!"

Indeed, many people in society today are easily swayed by negative news and ideas, becoming tools exploited by criminals. Every country has its dark and neglected sides, and this is the reality of never-ending issues.

"Skip the useless talk, just give me a simple rundown of the situation this time, including all the information you have, all of it!" Ye Tianchen said seriously.

Seeing Ye Tianchen taking this seriously for once, Cang Lang did not mind the abruptness, as he too understood the severity and urgency of the situation. Over twenty Elite Special Soldiers, each not only skilled but also equipped with the most advanced weaponry, had all vanished; it was truly unexpected.

"This time, the special forces on the border discovered that a gang of fierce bandits was planning to transport some goods through the Black Mist Forest from abroad, likely containing highly hazardous materials. Hence, they requested a scientist to accompany them for identification. Ultimately, Han Jie was chosen, but just two hours ago, we received news that more than twenty Elite Special Soldiers, including Han Jie, had all disappeared in the Black Mist Forest. Even helicopters and radar can’t find their whereabouts, likely due to all their communication devices being destroyed!"

Frowning, Cang Lang felt this matter was tricky. It was horrifying and unbelievable that a group of individuals, each equipped with a tracker and skilled in combat with advanced weapons, could just vanish all at once. What kind of formidable group were they up against?

"Is it just the two of us going on this mission?" Ye Tianchen asked earnestly.

"It’s not as weak as you might think. There’s always a group of Elite Special Soldiers stationed at the border. Out of about a hundred, more than twenty are missing, but the rest, over eighty, are waiting for us to arrive and follow our commands," Cang Lang replied.

"No need for that, just having the leader of the squad guide us is enough. More people wouldn’t be beneficial. On the contrary, it could expose our target and even restrain our actions!" Ye Tianchen said, shaking his head.

"Alright!"

Cang Lang indeed saw Ye Tianchen in a new light. Reaching his level, one naturally understands many practical combat principles. Fighting in such jungles, especially those with challenging terrains, is definitely not suited for large groups, but a few top experts might just solve the problem.

Too many people can mess things up, being of no help, and might even require others to take care of them, not a good strategy at all.

Ye Tianchen, a powerful individual from the Divine-level Superpower Realm, had been an orphan during the apocalypse and had fought his way to this realm. With his rich real combat experience, he was particularly adept at battling in the Original Forest, hence making such a decision right after hearing Cang Lang’s briefing.

By eight o’clock in the evening, a military helicopter landed in a small town on the border of Yunnan. Under such dark conditions, it was impossible to head towards the Black Mist Forest.

"We’ll stay in this small town tonight and naturally, someone will come to pick us up tomorrow. Then, we’ll head to the Black Mist Forest," Cang Lang watched the helicopter fly away and then turned to Ye Tianchen to say.

Observing the luminescent streets of the town, Ye Tianchen was surprised to find such lively nightlife on the border town of Yunnan, especially with several KTVs and bars nearby, and some streetwalkers, forming quite a scenic view.

"In that case, why don’t we go have some fun!" Ye Tianchen said with a mischievous smile.

Cang Lang was momentarily stunned, then frowned and said, "You’re in the mood for playing? Get some rest instead. Once we enter the Black Mist Forest tomorrow, we might face a life-or-death battle."

"It’s precisely because we need to relax properly before a big fight that we’ll be in the right mood for battle. If you don’t want to go, just find a hotel to sleep, and text me its name. I’m going to check out the beauties of this town!" Ye Tianchen said with a wicked grin.

Before Cang Lang could respond, Ye Tianchen had already headed towards a nearby bar, leaving Cang Lang speechless and internally cursing, "You lad, be careful of catching syphilis!"

No one would have expected the seemingly upright and serious Cang Lang to harbor such a wicked thought. If Ye Tianchen knew of Cang Lang’s internal curse, he would probably be infuriated.

Ye Tianchen entered a bar named "No Return Tonight," which was not very large, roughly three to four hundred square meters. It was filled with small glass tables, and besides the long bar counter, there was a large dance floor in the middle of the bar where many frenzied men and women danced wildly, with inevitable touching and groping, which was too common.

"Hello sir, is this your first time here? Would you like me to join you for a drink?" asked a provocatively dressed, fairly beautiful, and sexy woman who approached Ye Tianchen, her lipstick shining with a seductive allure.

"Of course, I came just for you. I hope you can provide a delightful night!" Ye Tianchen said with a sly smile, his right hand already resting on the sexy woman’s shoulder. (To be continued.
