Chapter 1708: Two Possibilities
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Chao thought that Jiang Yao was unwilling to live in a tent with a man she did not know, but it was not that. It was because she did not understand what Lu Xingzhi was trying to do.
They had agreed not to reveal their relations.h.i.+p before the drill ended, but he seemed to be constantly acting shamelessly.
He had not let go of her when they arrived there, and then he wanted her to sleep in his tent?
Was that a typical att.i.tude toward captives?
“No! Our colonel said that she can stay where he wants.” How could Xiao Gao allow a captive to question his colonel’s arrangements? Therefore, he decisively rejected Liu Chao’s suggestion and chased Liu Chao back to the tent. “You should go and sleep. You should behave like a captive!”
Before Liu Chao went back, Xiao Gao led Jiang Yao into Lu Xingzhi’s tent and personally stood guard outside the tent to prevent anyone from wandering into it.
Xiao Gao thought that their colonel’s arrangement was because he felt that that girl’s martial prowess was higher than the others, so he had to guard her alone.
Yes! That must be the case!
The development was indeed a little different from what Lu Xingzhi had predicted. Shao Fucheng had brought people to attack their command post. As soon as Xiao Gao and the others found Shao Fucheng’s men, they immediately ran away, just as Lu Xingzhi had predicted. Shao Fucheng left some of his people to fight the Blue Team. He personally led some men to chase after Xiao Gao and the group of doctors. However, halfway through, Shao Fucheng received a notice saying that the equipment in the Blue Team’s thatched cottage was made of rocks. Then, Shao Fucheng left with his men.
The Blue Team scoured the area before they confirmed that Shao Fucheng truly had left with his men. Then, they returned to their command center.
Shao Fucheng might have initially intended to capture the Red Team’s doctors and bring them back as prisoners, so he took most of his men to chase after Xiao Gao and the others. There were not many people left in the Blue Team’s command center, and they were evenly matched with the Blue Team’s men. Shao Fucheng did not retreat via the same route as before. Instead, he left via another place, so the Blue Team did not lose much that night.
On the contrary, the Red Team had suffered significant losses. Four doctors had sacrificed themselves, four men were captured, and a few of the other soldiers and generals were sacrificed as well.
However, the Blue Team did not find the Red Team’s communication equipment. Clearly, both sides knew that the communication equipment was the most important target to protect.
“Colonel, why do you think Shao Fu Cheng suddenly withdrew?” The first scout felt that the battle was simply too strange.
“There are two possibilities. First, he realized that the equipment was fake and that there were not many people left in the command post. He was afraid that Xiao Gao and the others would lead his people into a trap.” After Lu Xingzhi said that, he did not continue to speak. Instead, he fell into deep thought while everyone waited for him to say the second possibility.
After a long while, someone could not help but ask, “Colonel, what about the second possibility?”
“The second possibility is that he didn’t come here to ambush us in the first place. He was just putting on an act,” Lu Xingzhi said.
“What?”
That person did not know why Shao Fucheng would put on an act.
“Keep an eye on the captives from the Red Team,” Lu Xingzhi said.
“Okay!” someone replied.
Lu Xingzhi pondered for more than ten seconds before rearranging everyone’s tasks for the night.. Then, he used his contact list to give new orders to the people outside the command center.
