"???"
Luo Chen was filled with questions. He never expected that Mu Shanhai and the others would leave, and that they would even give up the mercenaries on their own initiative.
"How is this possible?" Luo Chen thought to himself, his heart filled with rage.
Mu Shiyu is a Dreamer; he needs her to complete his mission and return.
Damn it, damn it all, what sins did I commit in my past life?
Luo Chen's heart was screaming; it felt like he was being killed.
[If this is the case, how am I supposed to get back? System, system, please speak up!]
Devastated and filled with regret, Luo Chen was like the abandoned male protagonist in a TV drama.
"Xiao, what's wrong? Isn't this a good thing?" The guild leader didn't quite understand why Luo Chen was reacting so strongly.
"When we came here, I planned to send other people to protect them as they left, leaving you in the town. Wouldn't that be better for you?"
"Next, we just need to handle the league matters properly."
The commander's words made Luo Chen even more distraught; what on earth was that all about?
"Don't worry, there will be missions in the future, so don't worry." The captain got up and walked towards Luo Chen, comforting him.
In his eyes, Luo Chen's appearance was a sign of sadness because the mission had been lost.
It was precisely because of this that the leader valued Luo Chen even more. He was a good kid, no, an excellent and responsible mercenary.
And this person happens to be in my mercenary group.
If Luo Chen knew what the leader was thinking, he would probably want to strangle him.
"Quick, how long have they been gone?" Luo Chen stood up. In order to complete the mission, he had to find Mu Shiyu as soon as possible, even at the cost of everything.
Luo Chen gripped the leader's shoulders with both hands, even faintly exuding the aura of a grandmaster.
This surprised the regimental commander. Could it be that this kid had fallen for that girl?
The leader went on a rampage, spouting absurd arguments.
"My buddy told me that not long after we left, Mu Shanhai seemed to have come to ask you something. You seemed to be asleep, anyway, you didn't open the door." The leader winced slightly as he pried Luo Chen's hand away and said calmly.
Luo Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
It hasn't been long since I ran into Mu Shiyu when I came back. They left in such a short time?
[I can still catch up, I need to catch up quickly, otherwise I won't even be able to get past this level.]
Luo Chen ignored the leader and ran towards the door after letting go of his hand.
"Hey, hey, why are you running? This kid must have his eye on that girl." The battalion commander rubbed his shoulder, thinking to himself.
If it weren't for that girl, how could this kid be so strong?
"Xiao, where are you going?"
As soon as Luo Chen stepped out, he ran into his old friend.
"Where are Mu Shanhai and the others? How long have they been gone?" Luo Chen asked anxiously.
Seeing Luo Chen's expression, Lao Tie hurriedly replied, "About half an hour ago, what happened?"
Luo Chen didn't respond, and continued, "Give me the car keys, hurry up."
Lao Tie didn't understand the situation, but seeing Luo Chen's expression, he knew it was urgent, so he took out his car keys and tossed them to Luo Chen.
"Sigh, what happened..." Before Lao Tie could finish speaking, Luo Chen had already disappeared.
What happened while I was away? My goodness, Miss Mu, you can't have anything happen to you, or what will happen to my mission?
Luo Chen got into the jeep and hurried towards the town entrance.
"Halt! What's the matter?" The patrol team guarding the town gate saw Luo Chen and stopped the car to ask.
"I have a mission, hurry up and open the door." Luo Chen was already showing signs of impatience.
If they dare to stop me from completing the mission, they can't blame me for offending them.
"Didn't you hear the order? The town is a no-go zone. You're half an hour late." The patrolman looked at Luo Chen and tightened his grip on his gun.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, and a chilling aura emanated from them.
"What do you want to do?" The patrol soldiers noticed Luo Chen's change and became alert, waving to the soldiers around them.
Several men carrying guns walked towards Luo Chen.
Luo Chen sneered, "Is that all you've got? Since you won't let me out, then don't blame me..."
"Alright, you can go now." Suddenly, the patrol soldiers put away their guns, waved at Luo Chen, and then opened the gate.
Luo Chen was somewhat surprised, but now was not the time to think about such things. He stepped on the gas and drove away.
After Luo Chen left, the patrol team greeted a girl respectfully, "Miss, what brings you here?"
Jiang Xian'er watched Luo Chen's car drive away and said casually, "Just driving around."
"Miss, do you know this person?" The patrol soldier asked curiously when he saw Jiang Xian'er staring at Luo Chen's back.
Jiang Xian'er then withdrew her gaze and scolded, "Hmph, it's none of your business."
Meanwhile, Luo Chen rushed out of the town and headed towards Mu Shanhai's direction.
Fortunately, they knew their destination and there was a map in the car, otherwise Luo Chen would have been completely lost in this yellow earth.
[This second level is indeed quite difficult. This damn change happened so suddenly. I should have done this mission first; I could have gone back and spent more time with my wife.]
Luo Chen cursed and swore the whole way, the dust he kicked up covering his entire face.
"Damn it, I forgot my weapon." Luo Chen realized he had forgotten his weapon after walking for a while.
I quickly stopped the car and looked back.
The good thing was that there were a few guns on the vehicle; the bad thing was that there weren't any high-powered weapons.
[Forget it, going back now would take even more time, so I'll just ignore it.]
Luo Chen sped all the way, never slowing down to 140 km/h.
I started this journey about half an hour ago. This section of road is all straight with no curves, roughly forty kilometers. If I maintain this speed, I should be able to catch up in half an hour.
Luo Chen stared straight ahead, pressing the accelerator even harder.
At this point, forget about safety; just catch them first...
"Father, why don't we want the mercenaries for protection anymore? Didn't you say yesterday that it would be safer with their protection?" Mu Shiyu asked, sitting in the back.
She had run into Luo Chen that morning, but in the blink of an eye, her father was leaving.
Mu Shanhai shook his head: "There's no time. The news came out this morning that we can't leave the town after 8 o'clock. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to get out."
"There's no other way, this is the only thing I can do. It's not that I haven't tried contacting them, but they said that kid isn't here."
Qi Tianlong nodded, then turned to look behind the car and said cautiously, "I can sense that those people are already on their way. If we don't leave now, we'll just be stuck in this town and get killed by them. It just goes to show that we're not meant to be with that kid."
"Who knew something like this would happen? It's a real shame."
"Haha, it would be great if we could get to our destination sooner." Mu Shanhai looked at Mu Shiyu with affection.
Just then, there was a loud bang.
