Chapter 378 Discussing the Rescue Operation
"Alright, Brother Deliang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go."
Han Shuo stepped forward and nodded apologetically to Zheng Deliang.
"Brother Han, there's no need for formalities between us. Let's go, I'll take you to a quiet place to rest first."
As Zheng Deliang spoke, he led Han Shuo and the others forward...
...
At the same time, a short, stout man near the bus quickly walked onto the bus.
The rear seats of this bus have all been removed, and a group of researchers led by Dr. Lin are here.
Dr. Lin was at the front of the crowd, slumped helplessly in the car. His face looked haggard, but there wasn't a single scratch on his body.
Not only him, but all the hostages here were not beaten; they were simply held under house arrest.
After all, Sun Feng also knew that he would need such important talent when he took over the position.
...
At that moment, Sun Feng was lying on the front seat of the bus.
His physique is also quite robust; after all, the first few batches of people who completed genetic modification all experienced the side effect of muscle hyperplasia.
Although his physique wasn't as exaggerated as Wang Bahu's, one could tell from the muscle definition on his body that his strength was not to be underestimated.
Behind him, several of his men were holding guns and guarding the hostages in the car.
Each of them carried several grenades on their waists; if there was any disturbance, they could kill all the hostages within seconds.
That is why Qingyu has been unable to find a good opportunity to take action to rescue them.
...
The short, stout man outside the bus said respectfully after boarding.
"Commander, new recruits have arrived at the camp. They should be from Qingyu's side."
"oh?"
Sun Feng frowned and let out a soft "hmm," then quickly stood up from his seat and turned to look out the window.
After seeing the dozen or so people behind Zheng Deliang, he spoke.
“I know this group of people, a small team of two freelancers.”
"The two leaders are named Han Shuo and Cheng Shenghong."
After Sun Feng finished speaking, he lay back down in the chair.
Han Shuo and others knew about him; he had also seen their information before.
In his eyes, a small team led by a genetically evolved human at level 3 posed no threat to him.
Little did he know, the information he had was already somewhat outdated.
At this moment, Sun Feng felt a little strange.
Although he didn't take Han Shuo and the others seriously, the sudden arrival of a group of people from outside Qingyu's side made him feel vaguely uneasy.
After thinking for a moment, he gave the order.
"Send some people to keep an eye on them. I'm almost out of the turbid liquid needed for level 5 evolution. At this time, we absolutely cannot let our guard down in the slightest."
"I want to see if these kids who suddenly appeared are really reinforcements that guy Qingyu invited."
As soon as the voice fell, the short, stout man dared not slacken in the slightest, and hurriedly responded respectfully before retreating.
"Yes, Commander!"
After the short, stout man left, Sun Feng turned and glanced at Dr. Lin again.
"Hmph, those old fogies didn't even take a single drop of the turbid liquid with them when they evacuated from the underground research institute. I've been searching for so long, and I haven't found a single trace of the stockpile."
"These 64 drops of turbid liquid are really hard to come by. If they had even a little bit of it on them, I would have been level 5 by now..."
Even now, Sun Feng doesn't know that evolving to level 5 only requires 32 drops of turbid liquid.
He had also suspected that the underground research institute might have withheld some funds.
However, no matter how he pressed them with his words, Dr. Lin and the others tacitly refrained from revealing anything.
They wouldn't tell Sun Feng the truth about this matter; they also wanted to buy Qingyu some more time.
Because none of the researchers on the bus wanted the person holding them hostage to become their leader.
...
On the other side, Zheng Deliang quickly arranged temporary tents for Han Shuo and his group.
This location, in a corner of the campsite, is relatively quieter.
After everything was done, Zheng Deliang said politely.
"Brother Han, Xiao Zhao, you two should rest here. The soldiers on the outer perimeter are definitely our own people. If anything happens, you can send them to notify us."
"I won't take up any more of your rest time. I'll head back to the commander's place first."
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave.
At this moment, Han Shuo hurriedly called out to him.
"Brother Deliang, wait a moment, there's something I'd like to trouble you with."
Zheng Deliang stopped and turned back.
"Brother Han, please speak freely, no need to be polite."
Han Shuo got straight to the point and began to speak.
"Brother Deliang, I need some information on Sun Feng and his group, the more detailed the better."
After he finished speaking, Zheng Deliang nodded to him without the slightest hesitation.
"Okay, it should be fine. I'll go tell the commander and send the information over to you shortly."
"Brother Deliang, this is troublesome."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. It's Brother Han and you who are helping the Commander. I'm the one who should be saying thank you!"
After the words were spoken, the two exchanged a smile. Then, Zheng Deliang bid farewell to everyone and quickly walked out of the tent.
Since Qingyu became commander, Zheng Deliang has become his most capable assistant.
...
After Zheng Deliang left, Cheng Shenghong sent Lao Wu and the others to stand guard outside the tent as a second layer of security to ensure that their later conversation would not be overheard by others.
Han Shuo then called over several of the leaders and had them sit together.
He decided to hold a meeting immediately to discuss rescuing Dr. Lin and the others.
Xiao Zhao spoke first: "Brother Han, how do we help Captain Qingyu?"
He still instinctively addressed Qingyu as Captain, and as for the new title of Commander, he needed to gradually get used to it.
Han Shuo already had a preliminary plan in mind, and he directly shared his thoughts with everyone.
"This matter is indeed a difficult problem for Brother Qingyu, but it is not too difficult for us."
After he finished speaking, Cheng Shenghong and the others all turned to look at him.
The fat man also became serious and chimed in.
"Tell me more details?"
Han Shuo nodded and continued.
"First of all, I think there are two main reasons why Brother Qingyu has not found an opportunity to make a move yet."
"Firstly, Sun Feng and the others are mainly focused on him. As long as Brother Qingyu makes the slightest move to attack, Dr. Lin and the others will be in mortal danger."
Everyone understood this point, and they quietly waited for Han Shuo's next analysis.
"Secondly, and most importantly, the more people involved in a hostage rescue operation, the more disadvantageous the situation becomes, because it is difficult to avoid the eyes of Sun Feng and his men."
"In my view, this kind of rescue operation tests the individual combat capabilities even more."
"Because the fewer people there are, the less likely they are to be detected. However, those who participate in the operation must be highly skilled, and right now, Brother Qingyu's side doesn't have any personnel with such high combat power!"
