Chapter 517: Chapter 354 Task Ended (First Update)_1

She indeed found what she was looking for easily, a rather surprising discovery.

She opened the door and surveyed the scene in front of her, the corners of her mouth curling up enigmatically.

A glint of silver passed over, the person who was previously sleeping comfortably stopped breathing in his sleep.

For him, perhaps it was quite a... lucky thing; at least compared to some, this manner of death was indeed much more comfortable.

Mu Lin pushed the door closed and step by step moved closer inside, the entirety of what was inside this outpost reflected in her eyes.

Indeed, surveillance was the most convenient way to observe everything.

Gazing at the fragments of individuals inside the surveillance, the corners of Mu Lin’s lips rose slightly.

Gently touching the wireless earpiece in her ear, Mu Lin’s cold voice sounded in everyone’s ear, "Check complete, proceed with the action."

"Received." Jing Chen’s lips rose, the faces of the members of Ying Sun filled with excitement; it seemed like their mission was about to be accomplished.

Following this, as Mu Lin explained their positions, everyone ceased their concealment.

First, they moved soundlessly, Jing Chen took down the one who could most easily discover them, then they intruded into Y Country without any hindrance.

No survivors were left, not for their inability, but because they were not allowed to leave any; furthermore, they definitely couldn’t leave any information related to them behind.

All trouble began here, so let it also end here.

Fingers agilely hitting the keyboard, Youyou’s lips lifted slightly. Looking at the program that blocked his actions, breaking into this system was no easy task indeed.

Mu Lin’s objective was to destroy all surveillance of this place today, but if she was not careful, she might, perhaps, have to wipe out all of it, leaving nothing behind.

There was no choice, their military figures absolutely could not appear in this place, otherwise it would cause endless trouble.

"Done!" Pressing the final keyboard key, Mu Lin stood up, glancing back once at her accomplishments. It made her feel like it had been a long time since she had shown off her skills in this way. It felt so unfamiliar as she hadn’t done it in a while.

"Yours." Seeing Mu Lin approaching herself, Jing Chen handed over the dark red notebook he had found in a control room when they entered earlier.

Mu Lin took it, "I thought it would be lost." She had gone back and looked for it earlier; alas, she didn’t find it.

Jing Chen chuckled softly, then turned around to look at everyone else, "Continue to move."

After this part, their mission this time was essentially almost 90% complete. As long as they could deliver the person to the place they had previously arranged, everything would be alright.

Making a call to the other party’s contact number, it didn’t take long for an awaiting force... to appear.

Handing Luo Shiyan over safely to her own father, bidding him farewell, and then leaving.

The mission was over!

Watching Mu Lin’s silhouette, Luo Shiyan’s eyes were filled with reluctance. Along the journey, she had no opportunity to speak properly with her. She didn’t know when she would be able to see them again; the soldiers who left a profound impression on her even though they had only been together for a few days.

"Take him home." Luo Shiyan’s father ordered his subordinates to bring Li Wenshuai home. Looking at his half-dead state, he snorted coldly in his heart; he somewhat didn’t expect that these people not only sent his daughter back safely but also presented one of ’someone’s close associate as a gift.

However, the torture this man had suffered was quite... While Luo Wenxian looked up at the impressive eagle shadow in the high sky; Ying Sun indeed lived up to their reputation.

The King of Thousands of Eagles, the God of all eagles, this team in front of him was truly worthy!

He had always heard about how powerful their army was and now he realized; he saw that almost every one of them was injured, it seemed that his enemy had sent quite a lot of people. Surprisingly, they had still managed to return his precious daughter without a scratch. It was indeed better to experience it first hand than to hear from rumours.

Luo Wenxian expressed his utmost admiration, he indeed should make a call to express his gratitude.

Glancing at his precious daughter’s mournful expression, he gently patted her shoulder, "Let’s go home." He no longer needed to be on tenterhooks.

It seemed she got along well with the people from Special Forces on this journey.

Seeing the slight changes in Luo Shiyan’s expression, Luo Wenxian suddenly felt, even though he wanted to scold her for bringing herself into such danger, it could make her mature more in the future. Suddenly he felt this experience was indeed a rather good one.

He was looking forward to his child’s growth in the future; after all, he couldn’t protect her every moment.

If Luo Shiyan really fell into that person’s hands this time, Luo Wenxian also didn’t know what kind of decision he would make at that time.

To choose his daughter, or to choose... politics.

It’s lonely at the top. If his only daughter who he relied on for life also left him, then he might truly become a walking dead engrossed only in his work.

...

Meanwhile.

After several unsuccessful attempts to reach Li Wenshuai, this man, known for his ferocious demeanor, became more intimidating; no one dared to approach him casually.

His gut told him that Li Wenshuai’s previous efforts might have been in vain; if he had succeeded, he would have sought him out to claim credit by now.

He shouldn’t have entrusted this mission to such an incompetent person in the first place. Now, he has no idea whatsoever about what’s happening at the border; nobody is contactable.

No, he must go there personally. His intuition told him that perhaps the person he dispatched might have messed things up big time.

As expected, when he arrived at the border with a handful of people, he was truly infuriated by the scene unfolding in front of him.

Utter defeat! This was the biggest defeat he had ever suffered. There wasn’t a single survivor at the border base, or rather, there were hardly any people left.

What on earth was Li Wenshuai doing?

"I just checked the surveillance system, there..." said the soldier reporting the incident, looking troubled as he stared at the man. "Every part of it has been destroyed. We can’t find anything." If the intruders didn’t want them to find any evidence, they certainly wouldn’t leave such obvious clues behind.

All of them were experts.

"From the residual signs, the enemy walked in openly," one of the dead soldiers was found in the restroom, his eyes still open in shock. It suggested the enemy might have entered under the pretense of using the restroom.

He had found a long hair in the restroom earlier. There were no women in this base, which implied that the murderer who broke into their base and murdered someone in the restroom was a woman.

Probably a soldier from.

This hypothesis both surprised him and made them look at female soldiers in a new light.

Indeed, this soldier truly was an "expert" at deduction, and was mostly correct. He was talented.

"They walked in openly." Upon hearing this, the man snorted coldly. His face was extremely grim. "I shouldn’t have entrusted such an important mission to that coward."

The soldier didn’t respond.

Talking about this now was utterly pointless. What mattered now was to reorganize the defense line.

If they were defeated, they were defeated, and to be honest, being defeated by the Special Forces of Ying Sun was justifiable; after all, they completely underestimated them.

He had long been accustomed to the man’s arrogance.

To tell the truth, in the eyes of the young soldier, the General standing before them and the coward the General described were somewhat alike.

At least in arrogance, they were extremely similar.

The young soldier remained quiet, his expression as respectful as ever. "I have already sent some people to investigate in the jungle. They should be back soon." As he finished speaking, another soldier ran up. "General, Colonel, we just found... all the bodies." This was the first time he had seen so many.

After delivering his report, the soldier lowered his head, waiting for orders. He didn’t dare to look at the man’s face, which had turned pitch black from anger.

As for the soldier who had been analyzing the situation earlier, he turned out to be a Colonel who seemed to be highly respected and trusted by the man. Judging by the insignia on his shoulder, he appeared to be a Colonel from the artillery regiment.

Unlike, their ranks and symbols were quite clear.

"Their causes of death are odd," said the soldier, respectfully addressing the two senior officers. After pausing for a while, he continued, his face tinged with fear.

He felt he had to report this, as it was... too strange. It was so bizarre that it was hard to believe.

"What’s odd?" Other than gunshot or blade wounds, he couldn’t imagine anything unusual about the cause of death on a battlefield, where soldiers are covered in wounds; how much stranger could the cause of death be?

The soldier continued: "We searched for a long time, but couldn’t find any cause of death for them. Except for a few who clearly died from gunshot wounds, the rest..." The bodies of most soldiers exhibited virtually no wounds. If they did, they were certainly not fatal.

It was as if their souls had been taken away, leaving them dead.

Inexplicably, the more the young soldier thought about it, the more eerie it felt, and he couldn’t help but shiver.

Frowning, he instinctively looked at the soldier. He opened his mouth to ask a question but halted when he saw the soldier’s condition. "Take me there," he ordered solemnly.

Seeing for oneself is better. It would be best if he observed the situation himself; the soldier’s account was unclear and seemed incomprehensible to him.

Turning to the man, he said, "Let me go and check the situation first." He wanted to see what kind of strange cause of death there was.

However, when this man arrived at the scene, the shock in his eyes was no less than that of anyone else.
