Time passed slowly, the sun gradually rose, and the fog in the jungle slowly dissipated.
A few rays of sunlight pierced through the jungle, falling on the trees, grass, and people.
Luo Chen checked the temperature and, considering the current temperature, knew that Mu Shiyu and the others were not far away.
"Let me check this out." Luo Chen put down his equipment and then checked it.
Three machine guns, plus three extra magazines, a pistol, and a sniper rifle.
"So tiring." Luo Chen looked at the guns in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. Carrying them around was just a burden.
But when you use it, it smells damn good.
After a quick check of his equipment to make sure everything was in order, Luo Chen continued walking forward.
Unfortunately, he was unfamiliar with the area.
However, what they have in common is that the other party is also probably unfamiliar with the jungle roads.
At least at this speed, Luo Chen did not realize that they had any knowledge of the terrain.
Everything is ready, just waiting to meet.
"Charge!" Luo Chen activated his body again, moving like the wind through the fallen trees and tall grass in the forest.
Fortunately, Luo Chen wasn't afraid of harsh conditions; otherwise, he really wouldn't want to do it at all—it was just too torturous.
At extremely high speeds.
"Hmm?" Luo Chen slowed down; his sixth sense told him that there was someone ahead of him.
After reaching the Grandmaster level, Luo Chen's understanding in all aspects was much stronger than before.
Of course, what's even more important is the fragrance emanating from Jiang Xian'er.
When this girl has nothing to do, she likes to apply some chemical mixtures to her body to make herself look like a fairy.
"About three hundred meters." Luo Chen estimated the distance and was absolutely certain that Mu Shiyu and the others were just ahead.
Luo Chen looked ahead. From now on, he could no longer follow directly behind him like this.
If the other party is a grandmaster, they will definitely notice something.
Therefore, he must wait for the right opportunity.
"It's morning now. If we go now, we'll definitely be exposed. It seems there's no other way but tonight." Luo Chen peered through the gaps in the trees above him and judged the time.
He then kept his body hunched over, trying to keep his movements as quiet as possible.
This way, it won't be easily detected.
As time passed, Luo Chen knew that Mu Shiyu and the others were just ahead of him, even though he hadn't seen them in person.
After all, the commotion they caused was quite significant.
"It smells so good." Luo Chen smelled the aroma in front of him, rubbed his empty stomach, and found the temptation too great.
This is absolutely unfair, once again.
Luo Chen fiercely condemned the system.
Look at other protagonists, the system delivers delicious food and drinks right to their mouths, but what about me? I'm stuck in the jungle, enduring the scorching sun and physical hunger.
That's something no human being would do.
That seems to be true; the system isn't a person to begin with.
System: "xxoo".
Time finally passed, and the sun began to prepare to set.
"Boss, it's getting dark. Are we still going?" Mona asked the one-eyed man as she stepped forward.
"As night fell, the temperature dropped, and there was no reconnaissance ahead. Although there was light, it was difficult to walk."
The one-eyed man nodded; he understood what Mona meant.
It's understandable that they're mercenaries, but Mu Shanhai and his group had been walking in the jungle for a whole day and simply couldn't endure it.
Even a few hours of rest now would be better for them.
“Alright, let’s walk a bit further and find a flat spot to set up the awning,” the one-eyed man said, looking ahead.
Then, the group walked forward for several hundred meters and finally found a slightly flat area, with a small stream about ten meters away.
"Alright, let's set up the convertible here and spend the night here." The one-eyed man stopped and looked behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black began preparing to set up tents.
"Viper, keep an eye on things. I'll go see if I can contact the outside." The one-eyed man took out a satellite phone from his waist and walked towards a small hill in front of him.
During this time, Luo Chen remained huddled on a slope two hundred meters away, from which he could have a good, unobstructed view of the flat land below.
"Finally found it. It's exhausted me." Luo Chen muttered to himself, and then began to investigate.
Fortunately, Lao Tie and Jiang Xian'er are all safe and sound. If something had really happened...
Luo Chen would feel very guilty, after all, he was the one who asked them to come.
“Eighteen men in black, fully equipped; three in white; one with a knife; one woman, weapon unknown; and one one-eyed, information unknown.”
Based on his observations, Luo Chen briefly summarized the situation of the mercenaries.
Then he remembered what Xiao Jiang had said.
I encountered a woman in white who threw a handful of pinkish-gray at the crowd.
Luo Chen looked down at the purple-haired woman. If he wasn't mistaken, she was the person Xiao Jiang had mentioned.
"I still need to be careful," Luo Chen thought to himself, then shifted his body.
He put his weapons in another place, since it was impossible to carry several guns without making a sound.
"I need to replenish my energy first." Luo Chen took out a small piece of compressed biscuit and a piece of chocolate from his backpack, which were the only food he had left.
He hadn't eaten all day, all for this moment, to replenish his energy as quickly as possible so he could launch his attack that night.
The sun in the sky has finally clocked out.
The surrounding air rapidly descended, and Luo Chen couldn't help but rub his hands together.
The world really has huge temperature differences.
There are three open-air structures on the flat ground.
Mu Shanhai slept with Lao Tie and several other men, while Mu Shanhai was arranged to sleep in another place.
As for the other tent, it was occupied by three people dressed in white.
As for the other men in black, they simply lay down on the perimeter.
Half of the people remained on guard.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, trying to figure out where to start; he had absolutely no clue.
Furthermore, through the sniper's binoculars, it was observed that Mu Shanhai and the others were all wearing thick collars around their necks.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be an explosive device, designed to prevent them from escaping, or rather, to ensure that even if Mu Shanhai escapes, he won't fall into the hands of others.
If Luo Chen were to act recklessly, he would naturally be killed by a hail of bullets.
Therefore, he had to come up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.
First, get close to them, then look for an opportunity to rescue Mu Shanhai and the others, or destroy the detonator.
Night slowly fell, and Luo Chen had no chance whatsoever.
These people were clearly well-trained, and their positions were not relaxed at all.
"Be patient, there will always be a chance." Luo Chen encouraged himself silently, knowing that he couldn't be impatient, especially at times like these.
Finally, a glint of light flashed in his eyes; an opportunity had arrived.
