How far are you from the highway right now?
"Let me see!" The mercenary looked down, estimated the distance, and then replied to Mike, "Captain, it's about a kilometer away. They're about 500 away, but we haven't made a move yet."
“Very good, you all stay where you are and wait for me to come. If you go over now, you will likely be discovered immediately. Wu Hao is a very shrewd guy. If he senses anything amiss, he might do something rash in a moment of anger.”
Mike gave a few words of advice, then closed the chat and contacted Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, this is Mike. Response received!"
"Mike, got it? What's up?"
Upon hearing the reply, Mike continued, "My men have located Wu Hao and his group. They're about a kilometer from the highway. Get ready."
"One kilometer left. Okay, I got it. Be careful."
"Wait, Xiao Wu, how long until they arrive? And how do we get there after we get off the highway?" Mike wanted to know the details, otherwise, if they weren't clear about the road ahead, there was a good chance of other unexpected problems, which was something he didn't want.
We can't let our mistakes lead to something bad happening, otherwise we'd be letting down Luo Chen's efforts in stopping John and the others.
Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then said, "Let me think. They seem to be about a kilometer away. Yes, after we get off the highway, they are about a kilometer away from us. We will make preparations in advance and will follow your instructions."
“Okay, if we can handle it quickly, we’ll do it directly. Remember, Xiao Wu, don’t fire unless you’re absolutely sure. If Wu Hao finds out, Mu Shanhai and the others will have much less chance of survival.”
Mike was experienced, but he was also thinking about maximizing his own interests so that he could better handle the subsequent events. He also understood that he and his group needed to make a certain effort to rescue Mu Shanhai and the others.
"No problem, Yunlong is ready. He will shoot and kill Wu Hao. That will make it even easier to deal with them."
"Okay, his marksmanship is still reliable, but you still need to remember the point I just mentioned. That's the most important thing, and you must be confident in it."
It's no wonder Mike kept emphasizing this; if he didn't, there could be unnecessary trouble, and the consequences would be bad for everyone. This is something Mike doesn't want to happen, and it's something Luo Chen doesn't want to happen either.
"That's all, we'll follow behind."
After Mike finished speaking, he continued running towards his teammates. Knowing their situation would be the greatest help to them.
A few minutes later, Mike was covered in sweat, running desperately, not wanting to let Luo Chen down.
Although I'm not young anymore, I can't let them down.
"Captain, we're here!"
Two mercenaries emerged from behind a tree and whispered to Mike.
They were afraid that if they made a loud noise, Wu Hao and the others would hear them. Although they knew that Wu Hao could no longer hear them, they still had to be careful.
"You guys are doing a good job here, you're worthy of being my men."
Mike smiled faintly. These two were the last people he had left. From the time he met Luo Chen until now, he originally had eight team members, but they were all lost in the subsequent battles. To be honest, Mike was also very sad.
No matter what, they were all team members I trained from the very beginning, from when we first met to when we went to different places to carry out mercenary missions.
However, Mike didn't regret it. That's how mercenaries are. Once you've chosen this path, you have to see it through to the end. No one can say anything about it.
"Captain, take a rest and have some water!"
The mercenary took a bottle of water from his person, handed it to Mike, patted him on the back, and gave him some instructions.
Mike took the water glass, opened it, took a deep breath, and then took a big gulp.
Coming from that direction, it turned the microphone into a completely different racetrack, and it surged across in just a few minutes.
Fortunately, he was physically fit enough; otherwise, Mike really wouldn't have been able to take it.
"Alright, what's the situation now? Tell me, did Wu Hao and the others go down?"
After resting for less than half a minute, Mike quickly asked.
"Yes, boss, they've already gone down there. We don't dare chase after them; it'll be bad if we get caught."
Mike nodded, understanding now. He also looked at the situation below and realized that it wouldn't be good to continue chasing. He was secretly glad that he hadn't let the two of them continue to follow Wu Hao, because if they had, Wu Hao would likely have discovered them.
Being suddenly discovered at this time is not good news.
"You two, come with me. You can go now."
Mike waved and then led the two of them down the path.
But they didn't speed up their pace in the end, mainly because they were afraid that Wu Hao would find out at this time.
"careful!"
Having walked only halfway, Mike suddenly raised his right hand and shouted at the two people behind him.
The two mercenary members were stunned, unsure of what Mike was going to do at this moment.
Mike slowly squatted down, took out a small pair of scissors from his waist, and then gently touched the ground with his hand.
In an instant, he picked up a thin silver thread from the ground.
"bomb?"
"Wu Hao is really cautious. He actually planted a bomb at this time. If we're not careful, we could really be blown up."
"In that case, the two of us..."
The two mercenaries exchanged a glance, both able to sense the other's lingering fear. If they had accidentally touched something, it would have had a terrible outcome for neither of them.
What's even more upsetting is that they'll be discovered immediately; Wu Hao will definitely find out.
Mike wiped the sweat from his face. He had been on edge the whole way, but he hadn't expected to discover a problem at this point.
Fortunately, he was there; otherwise, most people wouldn't have noticed this situation.
Mike sighed softly, then picked up the silver thread, placed it at the tip of the scissors, and gently cut it off.
This can be considered as resolving the crisis.
However, Mike still didn't let go. He said to the two mercenary team members behind him, "Go and see where these two are buried. Could they be booby traps?"
Then the two mercenaries picked up the silver thread, held it in their hands, and slowly walked over, feeling the thread as they went.
The locations of the two landmines were eventually discovered.
"Captain, nothing unusual."
"Captain, I have some here!"
Upon hearing this, Mike's eyes twitched; what was bound to happen had happened.
I never expected it to be a booby trap.
Fortunately, it wasn't triggered, and the few people survived.
"Let's go, don't worry about it, let's keep going!"
Mai shook his head and then quickly said that there was no need to stay here any longer.
The group continued walking down the mountain.
"Damn, this Wu Hao actually has this ability. He's really not to be underestimated. I never expected him to be so cunning. This is something I didn't expect."
One of the mercenaries complained.
Mike smiled and said, "You two should be more careful in the future. There are plenty of people like this, no matter how insidious they are. Remember, you can never be too careful. No one will always be normal to you."
"Often, once something happens, everyone's inner turmoil will be amplified infinitely, and no one can stop it. We need to be clear that we're doing alright."
"The captain is right. At the rest stop, Wu Hao seemed a bit arrogant, but that was all. We didn't realize what he was really like behind the scenes. But what happened later showed that you can't judge a book by its cover."
"You're underestimating the situation. Wu Hao is a very clever guy. Although we haven't had much contact, he treats us very differently."
"Haha, what you said makes sense." Mike then smiled faintly, surprised that his teammates had brought up this matter.
He explained, "Do you know why Wu Hao acted like that at the rest stop?"
The two shook their heads. Mike said, "That's normal. When we first arrived, Wu Hao had been working at the rest stop for years, so he had seen all kinds of people. Therefore, he thought we had a very impressive perspective, so he looked down on us at all."
"Later, the reason for the change was because of Xiao. Xiao brought a bomb directly to Wu Hao's place for dinner, so he didn't give him any face at all. This made Wu Hao realize that he might have misjudged Xiao and also began to consider Xiao's abilities."
"That's skill. We're like that when we don't understand others, but Xiao tells us one thing: we have the right to negotiate with anyone. But there's a prerequisite: we need to know that even though everyone has the right, if you want to do this kind of thing, you'd better have the strength, otherwise, it will be very difficult to handle."
"Okay, boss, I understand."
"Hearing you say that, I still think Xiao is very powerful. If it weren't for him, this would have been an even bigger blow to us, and it's very possible that none of us would have survived."
Mike nodded, knowing that Luo Chen was very powerful. He had gradually realized this himself. Although when they first met, he only felt that this man with an Asian face had a unique charm, he later discovered that this guy's strength was not to be underestimated.
Without Luo Chen's help, they might not have been able to handle this matter at all. In Mike's opinion, John was not prepared to deal with him.
