The clash continued into the early hours of the morning, and their actions alerted many people who were lying in ambush nearby, prompting many to emerge and join in.

The scene became even more chaotic, and everything fell into disarray.

The sounds of fire and equipment clashing mingled together.

"Team Leader Long, there's a night sniper up high!"

If they want to retreat, they must eliminate the other side.

Long Yunting said coldly, "Everyone stay where you are. You cover me!"

"Captain Long, you want to go over there..."

Before he could finish speaking, Long Yunting had already started moving. The way he moved and ran made their scalps tingle and they were all on edge.

The person providing cover gradually draws the enemy's attention, allowing Long Yunting to safely cross over.

Having secured a favorable position, Long Yunting's advantages became apparent.

Half an hour later.

They occupied the high ground, thus restraining both local indigenous people and local forces.

"Captain Long, those people did indeed meet with the Japanese. This time, we'll make sure they don't leave alive, and we'll even make them fight amongst themselves."

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

Long Yunting watched everything indifferently, knowing that withdrawing now would be letting everyone down, so he could only hold on.

They took advantage of the chaos to deal with that group of people from the entire island.

It wasn't until dawn that things were finally settled.

They killed the leader from the island nation, as well as several other key figures, and then immediately retreated.

At this time, the sky was pitch black, but everyone's retreat did not stop for a second.

They were lucky to have successfully completed the mission, and they were excited at that moment.

They retreated quite a distance before sensing someone groping their way towards them, and the two sides nearly came to blows.

Long Yunting first called out to his men in a deep voice.

"Miss Fu?"

Upon hearing the voice, Fu Huoqing immediately ordered her men to cease their prepared attack, saying, "It's one of our own."

Hearing this voice and observing the changes in Fu Huoqing's emotions, Sheng Mu raised his handsome eyebrows.

His intuition told him that the person in front of him was threatening.

"Team Leader Long, I didn't expect to run into you here. Did you create the commotion ahead?" Fu Huoqing stepped forward and saw that the person she saw was indeed the cold-faced man. She couldn't help but laugh.

Sheng Mu, who emerged from behind, happened to see this scene and found the handsome man standing in front of her particularly irritating.

Fu Huoqing had never smiled at him like that before.

This reveals that Fu Huoqing is very friendly towards the man in front of her.

That's being overly friendly.

"How did you get here?"

Long Yunting asked in a calm voice.

“We came here with the goal of securing a research item, but it seems we came at the wrong time. Since the conflict occurred over there, we have to turn back.”

Fu Huoqing glanced behind her and said, "With the commotion you've caused, we'll have to take a detour to leave."

The other side will definitely pursue us head-on.

“Captain Long, this isn’t the place to talk. Shall we talk as we walk?” Fu Huoqing turned around and asked.

Long Yunting nodded slightly, then followed him around the road ahead and chose another route to leave.

After daybreak, they chose a place to sit down and rest.

Seeing the group's attire, Sheng Mu felt even more threatened.

I should say that I have this feeling about Long Yunting.

Because he knew very well that Fu Huoqing particularly admired strong men.

Clearly, the man in front of her, nicknamed Captain Long, fits Fu Huoqing's criteria.

Ji You and Fu Huoqing sat down together under a tree in front, while Long Yunting's team members kept watch on the perimeter.

"After we withdraw from the perimeter, we will find another opportunity to go in and gather materials. After Captain Long comes here to carry out this mission, is he going straight back to the capital?" Fu Huoqing took the initiative to ask this indifferent man.

Long Yunting nodded, "We are going back to the capital."

Sheng Mu now finds Long Yunting unpleasant to look at; he's too good-looking and too capable.

It's really something to be jealous of.

Seeing how eager Fu Huoqing was for him, Sheng Mu felt even more determined to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger would Fu Huoqing notice him instead of turning her attention to other men.

"If needed, Team Dragon, would you be willing to..." Ji You hadn't finished speaking when Fu Huoqing shook her head.

Long Yunting understood.

"We've come with a mission."

So I have to go back and report.

In fact, Long Yunting was in a hurry to go back and see Sheng Qian.

He had photos of Sheng Qian on his phone, but he didn't dare carry them with him and always kept the phone somewhere else.

This was also to prevent himself from falling into the wrong hands and seeing Sheng Qian's photos to take revenge, so he still hadn't been able to touch his phone, and he missed the person in his heart even more.

I wonder how Sheng Qian is doing now.

Sheng Qian and the others walked straight ahead without going in circles.

Because they were unaware of what had happened before.

"Wait a moment."

When it got to the afternoon, Sheng Qian called a stop and walked forward. Looking at the towering mountains in front of her, she frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Song Wei walked over and asked.

Sheng Qian said, "Something's not right."

Something's not right?

Apart from the rustling of the wind and the movement of the grass, nothing seemed amiss.

If anything was wrong, it was the unusual smell in the air.

“Someone is coming this way,” Sheng Qian’s ears twitched, and she instantly sensed an unusual atmosphere in the air.

"A person? How come we didn't notice anything?" Song Wei really thought Sheng Qian had some kind of hearing problem.

"Hide and don't run into them," Sheng Qian's sense of danger was much stronger than theirs. The people she had faced in the past were far more formidable than those of people in this era.
