Chapter 986: The Footsteps That Won’t Stop
K7 wasn’t at the southwest corner but was in a room that resembled a medical room. He appeared in a medical room… If it wasn’t for the signal, she would have doubted his ident.i.ty.
It took two hours from the southwest corner to the east, to truly confirm his position. Next, it was time for Xia Jinyuan and the rest to act.
Ye Jian didn’t stop for a moment after giving K7 his essential items. Relying on her pet.i.te frame, she rolled across the roof swiftly. The roofs were not made out of cement, but gravel and clay. Rolling on the sharp gravel was painful.
After rolling to the edge of the house, Ye Jian lightly patted the dust on the white gauze, she still needed to use that as her disguise. She couldn’t take it off for now.
She held onto the edge of the roof with both hands, before gently jumping down. With a cat-like figure, she stuck close to the wall, darting away after making sure that there were no patrols around.
There was no light in the room, and she couldn’t confirm how serious K7’s injuries were. However, from K7’s coughing, he told her that everything was fine and he could save himself.
…His cough was low and hoa.r.s.e, like a broken tempered gla.s.s surface. It was unstable. Just by listening to his voice… Ye Jian couldn’t help but tremble in her heart. She felt suffocated in her chest.
How can K7 be fine… The ‘prisoners’ in the southwest corner were beaten up till their flesh was exposed. They didn’t even have any clothes covering their bodies. Everyone’s eyes were filled with despair… They were tortured to the point where death had become a luxury for them.
In such an environment, how can everything be fine for him, especially for a captive like him who killed someone influential? How can everything be fine?
The pistol and dagger were all sent in. Now she just hoped that he could survive by himself.
Ye Jian, who had completed the first half of the mission, avoided four teams of patrolling mercenaries and heard the occasional screams coming from the southwest corner. Ye Jian moved towards the heavily guarded direction silently like a cat.
That was the location provided by the government of the list. There were three floors in total, and one of the floors was located in the bas.e.m.e.nt. She had to enter the bas.e.m.e.nt to get the list… But the intelligence team was unable to determine whether it was really in the bas.e.m.e.nt. Neither was the military able to confirm it.
She had to do it no matter what.
At night, the temperature in the desert dropped sharply, and Ye Jian felt that she had returned to the time when she was training in the desert with Princ.i.p.al Chen. The wind carried sand and dust, and the entire chest was covered with dust.
Quietly leaning against the wall with her straight back, Ye Jian was silently calculating the time. Twenty minutes… Xia Jinyuan and the rest could only give her twenty minutes. Twenty minutes to detonate the bomb, and she can take advantage of the chaos and enter the bas.e.m.e.nt.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6… 3, 2, 1
“Boom! Boom!” It was less than two hundred meters away from the central area, and the sound of explosions could be heard continuously. The ground shook and chaos enveloped the entire ST in less than a minute.
“The d.a.m.ned thing. Who’s there? Get out!”
“Quick, there’s an infiltration! Alert! Alert!”
The sharp whistle sounded, and countless mercenaries locked the exit of the entire base while rows of machine guns were mounted. Whoever wanted to get out of the base would be directly shredded into pieces. Not even their corpses would be spared.
The smell of the dynamite was unpleasant and as the wind blew, it traveled past a large swath of mercenaries.
