Land of Danger!

1059: Chapter 1016: Arduous Task!

Land of Danger!

Fierce eyes, burning with insatiable desire for battle!

The intrepid Tang Xiao was indeed unlike ordinary women.

In the face of life-and-death danger, normal women would be scared to death.

But her?

She seemed like a lioness caged for too long, starved for combat.

No worries or fears, only impatience!

No anxiety, only raging battle spirit!

It was obvious.

The quick draw and the quick killing of the eight kidnappers together with Wu Jie were merely an appetizer for her.

Thus, when it came to unavoidable fierce fighting, her beautiful eyes almost burst into flames.

By comparison,

Wu Jie was much more composed.

“Look at you, have you been retired too long, pent-up?” he asked before takeoff, right after they’d just killed four kidnappers.

Tang Xiao responded with a charming smile.

“Punishing evil and fighting on the battlefield are completely different concepts!”

“And the battlefield, with its flying shrapnel and hail of bullets, the sensation of bullets whizzing past your head, everything feels different!”

Wu Jie furrowed his brows with a touch of surprise and asked,

“Your desire for the battlefield, is it just because it’s thrilling?

Bullets don’t discriminate; aren’t you afraid to die there?”

Tang Xiao replied without hesitation, “Everyone dies eventually.

If I could die in battle for my country, that would be the highest honor, what’s there to regret?”

After finishing, Tang Xiao realized something was off.

“What about me?

If you die, what do I do?” Wu Jie asked seriously.

Tang Xiao laughed, “You can just remarry, can’t you?

Besides, with you around, how easily do you think I’d bite the dust?”

“In my experience, on the battlefield, if the strength of the two sides isn’t too imbalanced, those who fear death the most are usually the first to go!”

“Conversely, bravery is useless if the disparity is too great, just like light infantry can never beat heavy troops—the difference in strength doesn’t allow it!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly and got up to take out Nabiya’s map from the bag, passing it to Tang Xiao.

“As soon as the plane lands, we’ll be in a danger zone.

You’re experienced with battlefields, right?

Think about how we should proceed!”

Tang Xiao turned her head towards the cabin and gestured with her mouth:

“Shouldn’t we find the two captains and discuss it together?”

“You go ahead.

I don’t understand military matters!”

Wu Jie sat in the copilot seat, put on the headset, and took over control of the plane from Tang Xiao.

When it came to discussing war…

Tang Xiao was the most proactive and immediately rose, opening the door to the cabin.

Wu Jie checked the displays in front of him one by one.

Speed, altitude, course, fuel, temperature, pressure…

Being a pilot isn’t easy!

They might look like the darlings of the sky to many, but what are they really?

Just high-level drivers behind the wheel of a multi-million-dollar vehicle, but with complexities far beyond car driving.

Just after checking, Tang Xiao came back with the two captains.

Snow Wolf Counter-Terrorism Squad Captain Zhang Ren, War Statistics Institute Special Operations Team Captain Qian Le.

Closing the cabin door, they spread out the map.

Tang Xiao took a pen and drew a small circle on the map.

“Our main task this trip is to find the three stolen nuclear warheads, followed by eradicating the notorious Kaint Clubhouse, and lastly, hitting some international criminal gangs and extreme terrorist organizations that dare to attend the auction!”

“But those criminals are well aware of what we’re here to do, and given our special identities as a couple, many envy us and wouldn’t mind seeing Jie gone!”

“Therefore, after we arrive in Nabiya, we must choose a well-situated base camp near the airport, easily defensible, right here!”

Tang Xiao pointed to Xikelse on the map, a small town not far from Nabiya’s airport.

“Though risky, business here can be profitable; hence many Chinese merchants gather in Xikelse!”

“It has the biggest small commodities market in Nabiya, plus clothing, dining, department stores, you name it, a bustling city!”

“Our group’s first project through Tang’s Communications in Nabiya was here, so we’ve got a good base!”

…

First ensure supplies before moving troops.

We don’t know how long we’ll stay in Nabiya.

A relatively safe and stable base with easy access to supplies will help maintain combat effectiveness.

And Tang Xiao had already arranged for security personnel to prepare and receive them locally.

Vehicles, fuel, food, everything was well-prepared, with no need to worry.

If they went somewhere else, unfamiliar with the area, and large groups of armed strangers approached, local forces might think they were invaders, leading to inevitable conflict.

They had found a place to encamp, but this wasn’t enough.

From Nabiya to Sangkrei, it didn’t look far on the map, but considering the terrible local transport conditions…

A one hundred kilometer journey could easily take a day.

Sometimes it wasn’t just bad roads that were hard to navigate but also the chance of being robbed along the way.

If they encountered a heavy ambush, they might never return.

Next came the task assignments.

The stolen nuclear warheads were a clearer safety risk than the kidnapping by the Kaint Clubhouse.

With one nuclear detonation, cities could be destroyed, millions killed; the Kaint Clubhouse could only kidnap so many people.

Therefore, in the task distribution, resolving the nuclear heads issue was the priority.

Controlling the Xu Family, gathering intelligence, attending the auction…

Once they pinpoint the exact hiding places of the three warheads, they could either seize or destroy them.

They absolutely couldn’t let them fall into the hands of international criminal gangs or extreme terrorist organizations.

During this mission, the Xu Family in Liuli City would undoubtedly be key to intelligence gathering; they couldn’t be allowed to scatter freely upon reaching Nabiya.

As for eradicating the Kaint Clubhouse…

That was a special mission, with its headquarters and branches, the organization members and associates, all being covert and dispersed.

They needed to wait for Wu Jie to acquire more intel through his informants before making a move.

The final task was just additional.

In short.

This trip to the Jiazhou Continent, no telling how long they would stay in Nabiya.

They were moving into unfamiliar territory, with limited troops and a hard and dangerous mission, so everyone had to be mentally prepared.

Fortunately, they were not fighting alone.

The Escort Fleet striking pirates over three hundred kilometers away in the open sea could provide long-range firepower, emergency medical rescue, and other services.

In addition, the Tanglong Industrial Group also had some influence locally, and as long as they were willing to spend money, many local powers and tribes wouldn’t become allies but at least wouldn’t sabotage or maliciously obstruct them in secret.

Before the meeting concluded, Tang Xiao gave an additional reminder.

In order to avoid unnecessary international backlash and the misunderstanding of a major country’s invasion,

everyone should put away their uniforms and IDs, and even if captured, must not confess.

If the weapons, equipment, and ammunition carried this time were rare in the local arms market, switch them all out.

Using those commonplace AK series and M series assault rifles available in Jiazhou Continent wouldn’t easily expose their real identities.

Whereas the small-caliber, stockless Type 95 was basically produced and used exclusively in Liuli Continent—if used on a mission, wouldn’t that expose their identity?

Although it was unlikely for the people of the two squads to make such an elementary mistake, Tang Xiao still kindly reminded them.

Coming to Nabiya in Jiazhou Continent, the most tumultuous and chaotic place, things were truly different from home.

For instance, would you need to wear a bulletproof vest and have several people together just to go shopping domestically?

But in Xikelse, where an AK47 sold for just twenty Gold Coins, besides a bulletproof vest, it was better to add a bulletproof ceramic plate.

…

Shortly after the brief meeting ended, Su Leige arrived.

He handed over a paper filled with people’s information, wearing a bitter expression.

“These are all the people I know and have come into contact with!”

Wu Jie took a glance at the list and sneered coldly.

This damn Xu Kuishan was indeed a member, well hidden indeed!

No wonder his family tried to flee to Nabiya in Jiazhou Continent, where the Kaint Clubhouse could bypass Yang Tao, directly ordering the kidnappers to change the flight path.

As for the others…

Some were still well-known billionaires and prominent merchants.

But many more were completely unrecognizable, probably some invisible billionaires.

For those longstanding and large families from Huanzhou State, it was impossible to tally how much unknown wealth and how many complex relations they possessed.

And judging by the list, the Kaint Clubhouse truly served the privileged, satisfying the members’ bizarre requests with all sorts of dirty and illegal methods.

“Not bad, the writing is quite good!”

Wu Jie pocketed the paper, glancing at Su Leige who looked somewhat fearful.

Facts proved.

In the face of overwhelming power, any conspiracy or scheme was nonsense.

And as long as one was ruthless and ferocious enough, no matter how cunning and treacherous one may be, they would be fearful of death.

Just like Su Leige, you could never outsmart him with schemes and tactics.

But by killing eight kidnappers in silence next to him, without saying a word,

the scene was astonishing.

Even if he was ever so cunning and sly, the inherent fear of death would betray him.

So, he wasn’t afraid of Wu Jie, but he revered death, afraid he might lose his life and waste all his family riches.

“Look at you, all scared; I told you, I really won’t kill you!”

Wu Jie’s tone shifted, and he said teasingly with a smirk, “However, you have to convey a message to Kaint for me: if he doesn’t redeem himself, then he will definitely die a miserable death!”

Su Leige’s brow furrowed, the words were simple, but he didn’t understand the meaning.

“Just deliver the message, he’ll understand!” Wu Jie waved his hand, letting Su Leige leave.

However…

He did not move.

“What now?” Wu Jie teased, “Got more intelligence?”

Su Leige shook his head with a bitter smile, “I…

I’m starving, could I get something to eat?

I’m really too embarrassed to ask the people from the Xu Family of Liuli City!”

“I…

oh come on!”

Wu Jie couldn’t help but laugh, immediately picked up the microphone, and called the security personnel stationed outside the cabin door through the intercom.

Su Leige hurriedly put on a smile and bowed before finally leaving.

In order to survive, in front of Wu Jie, all dignity was indeed completely discarded.

Better to live poorly than die nobly!

After receiving some bread and mineral water, Su Leige returned to his seat and wolfed down his food.

Before, he found goose liver, caviar, and red wine unappetizing, but now what?

The cold bread tasted quite good.

As he devoured the food, he cursed internally,

“You intend to eradicate the Kaint Clubhouse?

Who the hell do you think you are?”

“Once I regain my freedom, I certainly won’t let you off easily!”

“You dare come to Nabiya, do you think your life’s too long?

Only if you’re looking for trouble, let’s see how long you can stay arrogant!!”

…

The long night stretched on.

Since they were flying from east to west, the plane cruised at high altitude for nearly ten hours and it didn’t get light yet.

When Wu Jie and Tang Xiao started to descend gradually under the guidance of Nabiya air traffic control following the designated route, it was still night outside the windows.

With a buzzing and jostling, the plane was still on autopilot.

“Approach deceleration, disconnect autopilot!”

“Visual on the ILS signal, lower landing gear!”

“Prep airbrakes, autobrake is set!”

“Disconnect autothrottle, slight pull on the control stick!”

“Minimize throttle, pull the stick!”

“Nose wheel touched down, engage engine reverse thrust!”

…

Following the standard landing procedure, Wu Jie and another person operated while verbalizing their actions.

For those in the passenger cabin, it didn’t feel like riding in a fighter jet anymore.

The landing was smooth, with just a slight tremor before the engines reversed thrust to slow down, the buzzing noise lasted for a while, and the plane’s speed slowed noticeably.

Before long,

The plane entered the apron and came to a stop.

It was just five in the morning Nabiya time, and it wasn’t yet light out.

A typical tropical desert climate, scorching hot during the day and cold at night.

So looking down through the windows, the armed militants were all wearing coats, and the typical weapons of the impoverished—AK47s and RPG rocket launchers—were naturally indispensable.

It seemed that several groups had arrived; none were weaklings, as there were several wheeled infantry fighting vehicles among them.

The dark muzzles and cannon barrels were aimed at the plane…
