Chapter 354: First Mission!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
lam so “lucky”. Ive just joined the Special Team, and now I’m getting my feet wet with a mission. We’re about to set off…
I’ve yet to figure out what Special Team’s about and we’re going on a mission now?
Are you f*cking serious?!
I really want to contact Uncle! However, all her communication devices were taken away the moment she joined Special Team, leaving her with no way to do that at all.
Just like that, she went on her first mission with them…
The nine of them arrived at the mountain behind the base. There was a helicopter waiting there and Big Di was in charge of flying the helicopter. The remaining eight of them put on the different gear and equipment—that were prepared according to each of their particular skillset—with their names written on it. Jian Dan’s gear was a laptop and various electronic devices.
“How are you doing? Are you nervous about your first mission?” Lan Tong asked.
Jian Dan was so nervous that she could not speak. Her hands were trembling non-stop and her breathing quickened subconsciously. As her breathing quickened, her heart slowed down. She did not know if it was because she was extremely nervous; instead of beating faster, her heart was slowing down.
This mission had to be completed within two hours, so the helicopter was not landing and they had to do a HALO0 insertion. Big Di would return to pick them up in half an hour.
Parachute? Are they f*cking serious? I have to jump from such a high alt.i.tude? How can I perform such a difficult feat without any training? I would meet my Maker before I can even carry out the mission.
“Relax, I’ll be with you…” Bai Yan comforted when he saw the nervous wreck that Jian Dan was.
They were different from the other cadets who were competing against one another; Special Team was an ent.i.ty and worked as one. They needed to trust one another completely to complete the mission and escape unscathed.
The eight of them had already gone through countless missions together and had enough chemistry. Jian Dan had just joined them today and really did not know…
“Since you’re already a member of Special Team, you have to show 100% trust in each and every one of us.”
It took a long time to build trust, but when she looked into Bai Yan’s eyes, she felt inexplicably relieved and comforted. She looked at him and nodded.
With Bai Yan’s help, she put on the parachute…
“Big Di, time check.” Bai Yan said to Big Di in the c.o.c.kpit.
“17:23.”
“Alright. Get ready to jump.”
The cabin door opened…
“Let’s go!” Bai Yan ordered. Lan Tong was the first to jump out of the helicopter.
After that, they jumped out of the helicopter one after another. Only Bai Yan and Jian Dan were left in the helicopter. “Are you ready?”
Jian Dan stuck her head out and looked down. The alt.i.tude made her shut her eyes.
“Do you remember what I said to you just now? Give me your hand. Don’t worry and trust me!”
I can’t let everyone fail this mission because of me. Although its my first day joining Special Team—since I’m here—I can’t back out at the last minute.
Looking at Bai Yan’s determined expression, she placed her hand in his; she placed her life in his hands.
She felt her hand being held tightly by Bai Yan. In the next second, she jumped out of the helicopter…
The sudden weightlessness made her extremely nervous. Her grip on Bai Yan tightened, and she did not open her eyes.
Bai Yan must have sensed her fear. “Don’t be afraid. Open your eyes and look. It’s a panoramic view!”
Hearing Bai Yan’s words, she slowly opened her eyes…
It turned out that the view was really spectacular so high up from the sky. She did not seem to be so afraid anymore and the expression on her face relaxed a lot.
“Get ready to pull the ripcord.”
Jian Dan nodded at Bai Yan and positioned her hand on the ripcord by the side of the parachute. When she saw Bai Yan signaling to her, she pulled the ripcord and a powerful force lurched her upwards…
Although the distance between the two of them had widened after the parachute was deployed and they had let go of each other’s hands, they were still connected by the cable.
With Bai Yan’s help, she made a safe landing and completed her first parachute jump…
However, she did not have time to think about it. Instead, she had to take off the parachute as soon as possible. After all, they only had two hours for this mission.
After taking off the parachute, she moved quickly…
This mission was… to save a kidnapped biology professor who was imprisoned in a remote biological laboratory. There were surveillance cameras and guards everywhere.
If she did not figure out where the guards were, they would not be able to get in at all…
