Chapter 546: Chapter 539 Be Careful With Secrets

Gao Yuan couldn’t quite discern You Zixing’s age based on his appearance, but judging from his voice, body movements, and spirit, he felt that You Zixing wasn’t very old and might even be younger than himself.

Gao Yuan shared a vehicle with Rabbit, and the driver was a warrior whose name he didn’t know, while You Zixing sat in the passenger seat.

Satan and Skunk also joined the operation; both he and Angel’s can opener would serve as demolition experts, responsible for providing technical guidance to Gao Yuan.

Rabbit needed to take part in this operation because Gao Yuan was unable to communicate directly with Raphael, also known as Skunk, or with Sirte, so he had to bring Rabbit as a translator.

As for others, not one came along because Gao Yuan had said that the main objective of the mission was to maintain secrecy, and having more people would be of no use.

The team led by You Zixing was to provide protection throughout the mission for Gao Yuan’s group. The team comprised of ten members, and this number was the maximum Gao Yuan could accept and the minimum Li Pengfei could accept for a protection and support force.

Actually, Gao Yuan felt the main function of this team was to guide them, but You Zixing obviously didn’t see it that way. After receiving clear and stern orders from Li Pengfei, he made Gao Yuan’s safety his sole priority.

Insisting on caution, You Zixing had them split into three vehicles, with Raphael and Sirte in separate ones. According to You Zixing, this was because they might encounter Sanitation Worker scout forces on the road, and if they were attacked, at least it would avoid having both demolition experts killed at the same time.

The words weren’t so direct, but that was the meaning.

It was evident that You Zixing was extremely curious and perplexed because he couldn’t understand why they needed a ton of C4 just to get Gao Yuan into the city.

Finally, You Zixing turned his head and spoke to Gao Yuan in a low voice, "Commander, we must abandon the vehicles from here on. The enemy has many scout forces in this area; we can’t determine their precise location. To avoid being ambushed, we will have to proceed on foot. There hasn’t been much fighting in this area, and the number of zombies is small. After abandoning our vehicles, we can escort you to the outskirts of the city area..."

Gao Yuan’s eyebrows lifted as he asked, "How far is it to the city from here?"

"Five kilometers in a straight line."

Gao Yuan looked at Rabbit, who pondered for a moment, then said, "Five kilometers, that should be close enough. The signal’s good; there won’t be a problem."

Gao Yuan had to ensure the signal from the battlefield monitoring system was within the operational range so that he could maintain contact with Raphael and know where to use explosives if necessary.

"Okay then, no need for an escort, I’ll go in on my own."

You Zixing appeared anxious and immediately responded, "No, how can you go in by yourself? We’re familiar with this area and know where the safe spots are, so it’s best if we escort you!"

Gao Yuan’s eyebrows twitched as he commanded, "Follow orders."

You Zixing looked visibly uncomfortable, his face twisting somewhat, but he had received orders to obey Gao Yuan’s commands in all things, so he could only consider how he might convince Gao Yuan to accept his advice.

At that moment, Rabbit chuckled, "You Zixing, the first team of the Special Combat Squad, I know you. You’re that famous Youzi who always has to be number one, right?"

You Zixing looked at Rabbit, then said seriously, "Being number one is our motto, but my codename is Red Arrow!"

Rabbit laughed, "Red Arrow, Green Arrow, whatever. Your self-chosen codename doesn’t count. Youzi is Youzi. I’ve heard that the squad leaders from the Uranus Troops would just love to gobble you up. You’re quite the legend."

Gao Yuan laughed, "Oh, there’s a story behind this?"

"There’s definitely a story. Youzi, you know? Just listen to that nickname, haha. This guy is as slippery as an eel, oozing bad intentions from head to toe. He’s the apple of Bull Demon King’s eye because he’s just like the Bull Demon King—not a good thing at all. Also, he, Toad, and Bull Demon King all come from the same unit—no good comes out of that unit, haha..."

You Zixing became anxious and said in a low voice, "Commander, you can’t really say..."

Rabbit waved his hand, "Alright, stop arguing. If Nemesis says he’s going alone, let him go alone. You guys can’t keep up with his speed anyway."

You Zixing took a deep breath and said, "Commander, I can run five kilometers in full gear in seventeen minutes! To clarify, that’s with a thirty-kilogram load! My time for a four-hundred-meter obstacle is one minute and twenty-one seconds!"

Rabbit shrugged, and Gao Yuan simply smiled and whispered, "Carry out the orders."

Taking another deep breath, You Zixing reluctantly relayed into his radio, "Vehicles hide, deploy the watch in formation!"

Six vehicles now came to a halt. You Zixing’s team members were driving the cars into the woods to use camouflage nets to conceal them, while four members, each in a different direction, began scouting to guard against any nearby enemy scout forces.

There was no other way; the team was too small, so each person had to perform the role of two.

For this mission, Gao Yuan traveled light, as the main threat he faced was zombies, meaning there was no need for a bulletproof vest. He still carried his knife and club on his back, strapping on an extra ax at his waist, and his backpack was filled with Energy Bars and functional drinks; the rest were just some radios and battlefield monitoring equipment, that sort of electronic gear.

Watching Gao Yuan start to attach various items to himself, then heading to another vehicle to retrieve a big bag filled with fifty kilograms of C4 and other detonating gear, You Zixing couldn’t help but blurt out.

The undertaking Gao Yuan was about to engage in was beyond You Zixing’s comprehension. Clutching his rifle, he couldn’t help asking, "What’s this... can you even move with all that?"

"I can move, no problem."

Gao Yuan cheerfully answered You Zixing’s question and looked at Rabbit, "Ask him if this much C4 might be too little. Going in is a hassle, and carrying more could mean blowing up more places."

Rabbit gestured dismissively, "That’ll do. It’s enough to destroy key positions; you don’t need too much. Just be at ease... I mean, just be confident; it’s enough!"

Gao Yuan sighed lightly and declared, "Alright, I’m off."

He hoisted the big bag of explosives onto his shoulder and started to jog slowly. Once he adjusted to the weight of the bag and found the best position for it, he suddenly accelerated and sprinted towards Malakal.

You Zixing’s mouth dropped open, and his camouflage couldn’t hide his extreme astonishment.

"This, this, this..."

You Zixing looked at Rabbit, then pointed at the rapidly disappearing figure of Gao Yuan, stammering, "I, I... this..."

Rabbit shrugged, "Yeah, you’re not seeing things, and you’re not mistaken. He’s definitely not ordinary... definitely not human. Alright, just take a look, and remember to keep it secret."
