"Commander, what do you need me to do?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"I need you to find them as soon as possible. Once you determine their location, notify me!" Yang Shulin said.
"Yes!" Xu Jianguo stood up and said.
"Just tell me how many people and equipment you need, and I'll approve it for you!" Yang Shulin continued.
Xu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Maps, ropes, flashlights, food, weapons, two radios, and a car! Mark the coordinates of the expedition team's starting point into the mountains, as well as the coordinates of their daily arrival points, on the map. Connect all the coordinates with a straight line and give it to me."
Originally, he wanted nothing, but he was afraid that if he didn't make any requests, it would arouse Yang Shulin's suspicion, so he put forward some requests that he could think of.
"Is that all? Where are the others?" Yang Shulin asked.
"No need, I'm enough!" Xu Jianguo said.
When Yang Shulin heard this, he couldn't help but frown and stared at Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo knew that the old man in front of him did not believe him, but he did not show weakness and looked at him calmly.
After a moment, Yang Shulin said, "Okay! I'll have someone prepare it for you now. I hope you won't let me down!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
"Zhou Xin!" Yang Shulin shouted outside the door.
"Here!" As soon as the words fell, the guard pushed the door and walked in.
"Take Xu Jianguo to the conference room to rest, then call An Zhengbang to me!"
"yes!"
After Xu Jianguo and Zhou Xin left, Yang Shulin lit a cigarette for himself, and his eyes hidden behind the smoke were filled with deep worry and uneasiness.
The guard took Xu Jianguo to a meeting room on the first floor of the small building and then left.
Xu Jianguo sat on a chair in the conference room and called the system in his mind: "System, I have a question!"
[Ding, host, please speak.]
"Can I find someone through my memory of the world map?"
[Ding, yes, but you need to have the target person's information as the search criteria. The more detailed the information, the better. This way you can get the most optimized search results and avoid duplicate results.]
“Okay, thank you!”
After getting the system's confirmation, Xu Jianguo gradually felt relieved. As long as Yang Shulin could provide him with detailed information of a few people, he should be able to find the scientific expedition team smoothly.
After waiting in the conference room for nearly an hour, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and Yang Shulin walked in with three soldiers. In addition to An Zhengbang and Li Meng, there was also someone Xu Jianguo did not know.
"Jianguo, everything you need is ready. We can set off at any time, but there is still a problem." Yang Shulin said.
"Commander, please speak!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Let me introduce you first. This is Jin Feng, the commander of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion of our Rongcheng Base and one of the best scouts in our entire Bashu region. He was on a mission outside some time ago and just came back. After learning about the scientific expedition team, he applied to me to go with you to carry out the search and rescue mission. What do you think?" Yang Shulin asked.
Xu Jianguo didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked at the major named Jin Feng and nodded slightly as a greeting. Then he said, "Commander, I know what you're worried about, but it's more convenient for me to handle this alone. Collaboration with Captain Jin will have to wait until next time."
After hearing what Xu Jianguo said, several people couldn't help but frown, and the battalion commander named Jin Feng's face turned ashen, and his eyes stared at him intently.
"Jianguo, do you want to reconsider it?" Yang Shulin continued to test him.
"No need. I think you know something about my situation. To be honest, I really don't have much time to waste. If you insist on having someone team up with me, then I can only give up this mission." Xu Jianguo said.
"How dare you! How dare you talk to our commander?!" Jin Feng suddenly shouted.
Xu Jianguo ignored him and continued to look into Yang Shulin's eyes. However, the old man did not say anything to dissuade him, but just looked at everything happening in front of him with a scrutinizing expression.
"Chief, since you don't trust me, please find someone else!" After Xu Jianguo said this, he walked towards the door.
"Boy, you are going too far. What do you think our Rongcheng base is?" Hearing Jin Feng's roar behind him, Xu Jianguo did not answer, but continued to walk forward.
What he didn't know was that Yang Shulin, who was standing behind Xu Jianguo, gave Jin Feng a subtle wink.
Looking at Jin Feng again, he instantly understood what his commander meant. He stepped forward and walked towards Xu Jianguo, raising his right hand to grab Xu Jianguo's shoulder, preparing to use grappling techniques to stop him from leaving.
But he overestimated himself and underestimated Xu Jianguo. His body had been strengthened several times, and with his cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage, how could he not feel the movement behind him?
Just when Jin Feng's palm was about to hit Xu Jianguo's left shoulder, Xu Jianguo first moved half a step to the left, then took another half step back, and stood in front of Jin Feng, carrying his right arm on his right shoulder. Then he grabbed Jin Feng's wrist with his right hand, bent his legs slightly, and exerted force from his waist and abdomen, throwing Jin Feng out with a back throw.
A muffled "bang" sound instantly woke up the three people behind Xu Jianguo.
They never imagined that the best scout in Rongcheng Base, Crazy Jin, who was well-known in the entire Bashu area, was actually defeated by a young boy who was less than 20 years old today.
Yang Shulin stood still, his eyes fixed on Xu Jianguo's back, but there was a faint light in his eyes, and this light even tended to get brighter.
An Zhengbang and Li Meng, who had recovered their shock, walked quickly forward and helped up Jin Feng, who was lying on the ground with a grin on his face.
Jin Feng, who was helped up by the two men, had all his facial features wrinkled together, his face dark red. After a long while, he said to Xu Jianguo: "You kid, you're trying to sneak attack!"
Xu Jianguo was almost amused by this guy's shamelessness and said, "A sneak attack? You, a scout, actually accused me of a sneak attack? Warfare is all about deception! The goal is to catch the enemy by surprise! Do you have to greet them before you launch an attack on the battlefield? Besides, if it's a sneak attack, you were the one who attacked me first. You attack and I defend, that's reasonable, right? I'm just defending at best. If you were really the enemy, do you think you'd have a chance to stand here and talk to me now?"
