Chapter 559 Acquiring a New Identity
As the seasons change and the stars shift, another sunrise and sunset occur.
The southern border remains under heavy artillery fire, with frontline positions once again embroiled in fierce fighting. Meanwhile, the desolate wilderness and mountain roads have become the main routes for the Burmese military to transport supplies and evacuate the wounded.
Located in the rear, this area is unlikely to be infiltrated by China, so they consider it relatively safe and their vigilance is not high, making taking a shortcut their first choice.
A retreating medical vehicle led the way, followed by a truck carrying over twenty wounded soldiers. It seemed they were planning to withdraw to their main position to recuperate!
"Those Chinese people really don't care about their lives when they fight!"
"Luckily I dodged quickly, or I would be dead."
"Hmph, you bunch of trash! I killed ten Chinese on the battlefield. When I get back, the general will personally award me a medal! You can all be envious, hahaha!"
The narrow, bumpy road didn't stop them from bragging.
"Clatter, clatter."
Trucks lined up and drove into a narrow passage, which could only accommodate one vehicle at a time.
The wheels made a strange sound as they rolled over the leaf-covered mountain road!
"Strange? Did I press on something?"
Why is it making a creaking sound?
The soldier driving was wondering what was going on when he heard a few loud popping sounds. Several vehicles in front and behind had their tires blow out to varying degrees, and came to a standstill!
"What happened?"
Their first reaction was to get out of the car and check.
An experienced soldier sensed something was wrong and suddenly shouted, "How could it be such a coincidence that both tires burst at the same time? Could it be... that someone has set an ambush!"
"What!"
The soldiers on guard duty immediately jumped out of the vehicle, sought cover, and kept watch in all directions!
But then, a sound came from the mountains on both sides.
They looked up in astonishment and saw, from the dimly lit high place, boulders of all sizes falling from the sky, crashing down the slope straight toward them!
"Ah! Help..."
Some soldiers near the sides of the mountain were hit by rolling rocks and knocked unconscious before they could call for help.
The soldiers in the narrow passage immediately fell into chaos!
This was a narrow passage with mountains on both sides, so any soldiers who got off the vehicle had no time to escape.
Before the remaining passengers could even feel relieved, a noise suddenly came from the back of the vehicle. They turned around in surprise and saw a slender arm covered in whip marks climbing up the back rail. When it finally emerged, it turned out to be a pretty young girl!
Who are you?!
The wounded soldiers, still shaken, raised their guns at her.
She didn't say anything, but smiled slightly, revealing two rows of big white teeth.
At the same time, she picked up the bucket she was carrying in her other hand and poured it into their truck!
"What's this!?"
"What is that?!"
"No, this is..." The soldier who had killed many Chinese picked up one and rubbed its greasy texture. "Resin??"
"That's right."
The girl, Wen Ni, suddenly spoke.
"Crushed resin incendiary bomb".
After saying that, she jumped out of the car and threw in a lit branch...
"Bang! Bang bang bang!"
Countless resin bombs burned and exploded!
The rubble mixed in shattered everywhere, piercing the wounded soldiers' eyes and bodies, while the sticky resin stuck to them and continued to burn, causing ongoing damage.
They were helpless, screaming in pain, and falling off the car, their bodies ablaze!
At this moment, all the other vehicles except the medical vehicle had their fuel tanks opened, and the moment they came into contact with the flames, they burst into flames!
"Crackling and popping!"
Burning, intense burning.
You can't hear anyone screaming at all.
Wen Ni and Qin Yuan retreated to a safe distance and watched all of this quietly and silently!
It's cruel, but that's war. There's no life or death, only victory and defeat!
The fire was relentlessly consuming...
Only the medical vehicle remained unaffected by the fire.
The driver opened the car door and jumped out in a panic, but accidentally stepped on a thorn hidden under the fallen leaves. He fell to the ground in pain, and before he could get up, a silver bone knife was placed on his neck!
"Spare me, hero, spare me!" The driver was terrified and didn't dare to move. "I'm the driver for the medical team. I haven't killed any Chinese people. My hands are clean. Please, please let me go! My wife and children are at home, waiting for me to get back..."
"I can spare your life."
Wen Ni bent down and whispered in the driver's ear
"I need your help to pass on a message to your general."
"Please speak, please speak!"
"Tell him he doesn't need to make such a big fuss about finding me. We'll definitely meet again. But the next time we meet will be when I take their heads. Consider the soldiers who died today as his greeting gift to me!" A cold smile played on his lips.
"That's all... Is that all? Does the hero have a name?" the driver asked, trembling.
“You just need to relay my words verbatim, and he will naturally know who I am.” After Wen Ni finished speaking, she removed the bone knife and kicked the driver in the buttocks, making him stagger. Without hesitation, he got up and continued running forward, not daring to look back, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness!
"Miss Wen Ni, why did you let him go back?" Qin Yuan checked and confirmed that there were no survivors before walking around and asking in confusion.
"Of course, it's to cover up our true purpose." Wen Ni put away her bone knife, turned around, and opened the door of the medical vehicle. "Right now, the standoff between China and Myanmar is limited to the front lines. With such casualties suddenly occurring in the rear, Li Shiyan will definitely guess that I'm behind it. I sent his men back with a message so that he would think that my actions were just a provocation!"
“He wouldn’t have guessed that this is what I really want.” Wen Ni pulled a stack of Burmese identity cards and temporary military IDs from the briefcase in the passenger seat. Each card corresponded to a specific person, and each of those people had perished in the fire. “Choose one that looks like you from here. Anyone interested?”
"I've got my eye on one... Miss Wen Ni, you're making it sound like I'm here on a blind date..." Qin Yuan scratched his head, rummaged through the drawers and pulled one out. "This one's nice! She looks a lot like me! And we're about the same age!"
"You seem to have some issues with your self-perception, don't you?" Wen Ni took the picture, compared it to the real person, and shook her head. "This one is a bit too handsome; he doesn't look like you at all."
"..." Qin Yuan paused for a second, then rummaged through the pile of documents again, randomly pointing to one that looked a bit rustic, "What about this one?"
“This is a good fit for your personality.”
"..." Qin Yuan pursed her lips, sighed, and carefully put the document away.
Wen Ni also pulled out a woman's ID card from the pile. It belonged to a member of the medical team; the age matched, but the appearance wasn't quite right. However, this was the only woman's ID card among them. But it didn't matter; luckily, she had a way to change her appearance!
"Burn the rest."
"Yes, Miss Wenni!"
Qin Yuan picked up the briefcase and threw it onto the burning and exploding trucks behind them. He then set several more on fire, watching as everything was reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace of bone, before turning and leaving!
"It still has to be Miss Wen Ni, she's got the brains!"
"If I didn't have a brain, I would have died a thousand and eight hundred times over."
"Why do I feel like you're insulting me? Miss Wen Ni?" Qin Yuan paused for a moment, then caught up.
"Not bad, there's still some hope for your brain, you know I'm scolding you."
"Miss Wen Ni..."
"What did you call me?"
"Ah, Sanda."
“Very good, Jue Lun.”
Wen Ni had given it full consideration before taking action.
They wanted to obtain two identities to infiltrate the Burmese, and the safest identity could only be that of a dead person, because only the dead cannot speak.
What kind of dead people won't have their cause of death investigated, and might not even be discovered even after they've died? Only those who die on the battlefield!
Burned to the bone, leaving not even ashes, no one who comes here will ever know who actually died in that fire...
