Chapter 516: Chapter 0518 Infiltrate

After Ma Hong had spoken, Chu Feng and Fatty Tang both fell silent.

If it were just a few broken guns, the two of them really wouldn’t need to worry about anything. However, from what Ma Hong suggested, it was clear that the enemy’s strength was not weak.

Chu Feng could protect himself, but there were still over twenty people here.

"Brother Ma, exactly how many people do they have?" asked Chu Feng.

Ma Hong said, "This part of the Rebel Army is one of the strongest factions. Altogether, they have over a thousand people. The Bai Family and Kang Xuesong told them that the mountain range definitely has jade. They have methods to help them mine it, and then they can trade the mined jade for money, and then trade that money for guns."

Chu Feng’s brows furrowed upon hearing Ma Hong’s words.

A thousand people were practically equivalent to a battalion. Even if their weapons and equipment were subpar, a thousand people wielding fire sticks could stab them to death. And what’s more, they didn’t have fire sticks in their hands, they had guns.

Twenty people against a thousand stood no chance whatsoever. And even Chu Feng wasn’t confident about escaping from a thousand men.

Fatty Tang said, "Old Ma, why don’t we retreat and look for another way around?"

Ma Hong shook his head and said, "The other routes are the same, and right now I don’t even know who the traitor is."

Fatty Tang said, "Why don’t we find out who the traitor is first, and then come back?"

Ma Hong still shook his head, "Fatty, you don’t understand the situation here. With these mines, whoever starts mining first will own the rights. If the Bai Family and Kang Xuesong start mining first, then the mine will belong to them. By that time, if we want to forcefully take it, even the Government Army wouldn’t be likely to help us."

Upon hearing Ma Hong’s words, Fatty Tang also became anxious and started to pace back and forth, "This won’t do, that won’t do. We’re about to lose the fat piece of meat right at our lips. This Old Man Kang truly is a lingering specter; if I catch him, I must flay him alive."

Ma Hong was anxious too, but mainly the responsibility was his, and he had no solution.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Feng said, "Brother Ma, we have fewer people, but what if we infiltrate in a small formation and take over the mine first?"

Upon hearing Chu Feng’s suggestion, Ma Hong’s eyes lit up, "Ah, that’s a plan. If we can take control of the mine first and start exploration and mining, then by that time the Government Army will have to support us. I happen to have some connections with the Myanmar Government Army."

Fatty Tang said, "They have over a thousand people. What do you think are our chances of successfully infiltrating them?"

Chu Feng said, "They may be over a thousand, but they are just an unorganized rabble. What we’ve brought are elites, it wouldn’t be difficult to get around their arrangements."

After a pause, Chu Feng continued, "Of course, the only one who isn’t an elite here is you. How about you go back and await news, and after Brother Ma and I have taken care of it, we’ll come find you."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Tang immediately protested, "That’s not going to work. If you two swallow up my share, whom am I going to reason with? Besides, we are brothers, sharing life and death together."

Chu Feng laughed, "Brother Tang, if it weren’t for your last sentence, I really would have thought we are brothers."

Feeling embarrassed, Fatty Tang’s face turned red, "Brother Chu, we are indeed brothers."

Chu Feng said, "If we want to infiltrate, we must take advantage of the night. Looks like we have at most two more hours until darkness falls. Let’s study the map and figure out how to break through. Brother Ma, you are a local here, you know the terrain. Help us analyze it."

Ma Hong said, "Alright."

Fatty Tang had little understanding of such matters and could only listen to Chu Feng and Ma Hong discussing.

After all, Chu Feng had undergone systematic military training from the Huang Lan system and was somewhat stronger than Ma Hong in this regard.

Soon, Chu Feng found a feasible infiltration route on the map. Based on some information provided by that tongue, they finally confirmed this route.

At nightfall, everyone donned their night clothes. These had been prepared in advance, although Fatty Tang’s night clothes were a bit too small since there were none available for someone of his size.

"That’s enough, Fatty. Just bear with it for a while, since you’re the one who gained weight," Ma Hong said.

Having no other choice, Fatty Tang sucked in his stomach and followed at the end of the line.

After crossing the forest, there was a large mountain range.

The terrain along this route was the most complex, but the power structure was relatively simple. Large areas were under the control of the Government Army, which was why Ma Hong had chosen this route.

"You guys wait here, I’ll scout ahead," Chu Feng whispered to the others.

Ma Hong said, "Brother, even if we need to scout, it should be me doing it."

Chu Feng said, "Brother Ma, if you’re going to carry this sense of guilt throughout the way, it won’t be good for us. You won’t be able to command calmly. Whether it’s guilt or excitement, you can’t make the right judgments."

Ma Hong’s face reddened, and he lowered his head, saying, "Brother, it’s my fault things turned out this way. I just want to make up for it somewhat."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Neither Brother Tang nor I blame you. So stop blaming yourself; just stay here and command while waiting for my message. I really don’t feel at ease leaving the team in Brother Tang’s hands."

Ma Hong said, "Alright, I’ll wait here for your message."

With a few swift movements, Chu Feng disappeared into the night. The terrain was indeed complicated, with mountains and forests all around and very steep terrain, making it not so easy to spot a person.

However, for Chu Feng, who possessed Divine Sense, these were not issues at all.

Of course, the primary factor was that the quality of these anti-government forces was quite low. Smoking cigarettes in the dead of night, Chu Feng could see them without even using Divine Sense.

Chu Feng eliminated twelve guards along the way, both overt and covert, ensuring the path was safe. He then messaged Fatty Tang and Ma Hong, urging them to lead the group quickly through.

Fatty Tang and Ma Hong led their men up. The route was already safe, but due to a mistake by Fatty Tang, they made some noise and were discovered.

Fatty Tang’s rear end was shot, but fortunately, Chu Feng’s side had the advantage in firepower, and they successfully passed through the route and entered the territory controlled by the Government Army.

"Damn it, what good are you? Two hundred men and you let twenty slip right under your noses, losing more than a dozen brothers in the process—are you pigs?" The leader of the Rebel Army was furious upon hearing the news. Such a failure was a disgrace for someone aspiring to unify the country.

"General Kanni, the urgency now is not to assign blame. We must occupy that mine before them, or once they take it, it will be none of our concern, and your dream of unification will be ruined," said Kang Xuesong, still dressed in traditional attire.
