Chapter 409: Chapter 290: The Dream of Old Master Jing (First Updated)_1

Elsewhere in the jungle, the green terrain was where Jing Youlan and his group were conducting the military exercise. The exercise was divided into two teams, the Red and the Blue Army. Jing Youlan and his comrades were the Red Army. Right at that moment, they had lost their main group. They didn’t even know how they’d gotten separated—an enemy mortar shell exploded, and now they were in this situation.

Sighing.

From the start of the exercise till now, two days had passed. Except for their disheveled appearances and faces covered in camouflage paint, everyone was pretty much in a daze.

They had just become real soldiers, their seats weren’t even warm yet when they were thrown into this large-scale military exercise. They were completely bewildered.

"What should we do now?" To tell the truth, he felt like a fifth wheel.

Yang Yuebin looked at the others, everyone exchanged glances, "I think, we should primarily try to regroup with the main force." Otherwise, who knew what could happen to them—they might be wiped out instantly by the enemy.

"What do you think Mu Lin would do in this situation?" Yue Qiao suddenly spoke up, looking at the others, contemplative.

Indeed, what would Mu Lin do? With her peculiar personality, there was one thing Yue Qiao could be certain of; she definitely wouldn’t return to the main force.

"If it were Mu Lin..." Jing Youlan rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then looked at everyone else. "I reckon, knowing Mu Lin’s gutsy character, she’d likely take us straight to the Blue Army, blow up their base first."

"Then capture their leaders." That would end everything; Mu Lin could really pull this off.

"So instead of being observed by their troops with the main force, we should gamble... Is that what you’re implying?" Xia Zeyang looked at Jing Youlan.

Jing Youlan nodded with a slight smile, "That’s roughly the gist of it." Isn’t it quite interesting?

"Just the five of us?" Yang Yuebin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Isn’t that a bit too risky?" Though he didn’t want to admit it, the difference between having Mu Lin and being without her was staggering.

Reluctantly acknowledging it, Mu Lin alone could bring them all together.

To be honest, if Mu Lin were here, even by herself in this jungle, she would certainly be able to do everything Jing Youlan just mentioned.

"Let’s move, we should keep moving forward for now." Jing Youlan suggested, and everyone else nodded. They moved forward cautiously.

Given no choice, they could only take it one step at a time.

However, not long after they started walking, they vaguely saw a team moving towards them from the jungle nearby. "Get into hiding and observe the situation first," Jing Youlan ordered, and everyone started looking for a hiding spot.

He took out his binoculars and looked at the approaching figures. To his surprise, he broke out in a grin, "It seems like they’re friendly... our own people." Was this what is known as, hitting the jackpot!

The others exchanged glances, smiling. They understood clearly what Jing Youlan meant by his words. It was unexpected that they would meet these guys in such a situation.

Then, when the group was within their encirclement...

"Everyone stay still, you are surrounded." An icy voice echoed around Ji Shubai and his people. A shiver ran through them as they instantly looked towards the source of the voice. However, when they saw the people stepping out from the shadows, their foreheads creased in instant annoyance.

These people! Don’t they know that scaring people can lead to death? How they’d love to just lose it with them right then and there.

"Why are you guys here?" Ji Shubai looked at Jing Youlan, to which Jing Youlan replied with a light laugh, "A few of us got separated from the main force, how about you guys?"

"I think we did too." Ji Shubai laughed helplessly. "This training exercise really is real. Those bombs were actually real. We almost suffered severe injuries."

Everyone else agreed. Ji Shubai looked at Xue Jianbing, "But why is this guy also here?" To be honest, he had almost forgotten about him during this period.

Just like Ji Shubai’s team, Xue Jianbing was also a part of the scout platoon. He gets along pretty well with the team.
