The next morning, Huo Haocheng returned from the cafeteria with breakfast and woke up the sleeping Ruan Ruan.
"Hmm"
"Little sister, wake up first," Huo Haocheng said after kissing her awake. "We've found the base of those guys on the train. The police have asked the military to send reinforcements. I need to get back to my unit immediately and we're leaving soon. Get up and have breakfast before you go back to sleep. Take good care of yourself at home. If you don't understand anything, ask Sister Zheng or your aunt. Do you understand?" Huo Haocheng hugged her and spoke softly.
"Okay, be careful. I had the system follow them before, it will come to find you when you get there." Ruan Ruan nestled in Huo Haocheng's arms, not wanting to move.
"Okay, be careful at home too," Huo Haocheng said, pulling Ruan Ruan out of his arms.
"Okay, you too, remember what I said."
"Okay, then I'm leaving." With that, Huo Haocheng kissed Ruan Ruan, got up, and left.
After Huo Haocheng left, Ruan Ruan got up to wash up, eating the steamed buns while mentally contacting the system.
'The system is not yet complete.'
"I am here, host."
"Where are you now?"
"I'm currently in Rui City, which is located about 40 kilometers below Yun City. There's a village here where everyone grows poppies, and all the men carry guns."
"Brother Haocheng has taken his men there now. Go and meet them at the appointed time, tell him about the situation in the village, and also try to get some guns, ammunition, and vehicles into your storage space."
"Host, what do you need these for?"
"Just in case, just do as I say, but don't tell him about this."
"Okay, I understand."
After communicating with the system and having eaten and drunk her fill, Ruan Ruan went back to bed to continue sleeping.
Huo Haocheng set off with a battalion of men plus Gu Jinghe. The police were waiting for them in the mountains 10 kilometers from their destination.
"Hello, Huo Haocheng is in charge of coordinating this rescue operation." When Huo Haocheng and his team arrived, the police chief was already there. After receiving the news on the train, it had been two full days and two nights, and they had finally located one of the fire's strongholds.
"Commander Huo, hello, thank you for your rescue. This is information our men obtained from tracking that group. This is a poppy cultivation site. The male villagers inside are all armed, and the women they captured are being held there. We don't know the exact number of people in the village, but we are certain they are very cautious and there are always people guarding it."
The bureau chief told Huo Haocheng about the information they had received, but the specifics of how to rescue the people still needed to be discussed.
"So, when does the director plan to begin the operation?" Huo Haocheng had a general understanding after hearing the director's words, but he still needed to get the specific data from 520. His immediate priority was to find 520 as soon as possible.
We want to act after dark.
"Okay, if the director has nothing else to do, I'll go and inform him first," Huo Haocheng said, preparing to leave.
Okay, you can go ahead and get busy.
Huo Haocheng had just turned around and taken two steps when he felt something on his shoulder.
"You're back?" Huo Haocheng asked in a voice only he could hear.
“I’m back. The host sent me to meet you,” 520 said, clinging to Huo Haocheng’s shoulder in stealth.
"What's the situation in the village right now?"
“There are 300 men in the village, each armed with a gun, and more than 100 women who take turns serving them at night. There are nearly 90 children, 49 of whom are over 5 years old. They are all armed with daggers. From the time the children can remember, they are taught to kill, so we must not neglect any of the children here.”
Many of the women who were sold into slavery are already dead; their bodies were thrown into the mountains to be eaten by wolves. Those who are still alive are not doing well; the 20 girls who went in yesterday will probably be violated tonight.”
"Are there any other exits from the village?" Hearing the specific data 520 gave, Huo Haocheng tried his best to suppress his anger. He just wanted to shoot these sons of bitches right now.
"There is a road behind the mountain that leads to the border."
"Okay, we'll start our operation after dark. Can you go and protect those girls now?" The past can't be undone. All Huo Haocheng can do now is try his best to protect those who haven't been violated yet. As for anything else, he can't think about it now, and he doesn't dare to think about it.
"I'll do my best. I'll go over there and wait for you now, don't worry." 520 knew what Huo Haocheng was thinking. In fact, he thought the same thing. When the people were delivered last night, several people took action, but 520 fooled them with his trickery. Tonight, he could only try his best.
"Okay, go ahead." After saying that, Huo Haocheng felt the weight on his shoulders disappear and walked towards the group with a gloomy expression.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jinghe had never seen Huo Haocheng with such an expression on his face before.
"Let me tell you, there are... In particular, don't easily trust any child, and don't get close to them." Huo Haocheng then told them all the specific data and personnel information that 520 had told him. The hot-blooded young men couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Everyone rest first, and prepare to move out after dark. At that time, Gu Jinghe, you will lead a team to cross the mountainside and guard the road behind the mountain. Don't let a single one of them escape." Huo Haocheng's cold voice pierced everyone's eardrums.
"yes"
Everyone was holding their breath.
Before nightfall, the police chief came to invite Huo Haocheng over to discuss the operation.
"In a little while, our men will sneak in from the mountain passes on both sides and lie in ambush. The police will enter from the main gate. While you deal with the guards, we'll take care of the patrols. Then we'll leave a team to guard the path up the mountain to prevent anyone from escaping," Huo Haocheng explained his plan directly.
