The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of water gently lapping against the hull. Xiao Hao quietly poked his head out of the water, his eyes fixed on Zhao Hongyi's yacht not far away.
Brother Bai is in trouble! Brother Bai's father is threatening Uncle Zhao to help him save him.
Ah, what an unexpected bonus!
He didn't dare to go home rashly, but he sensed that no one was home. His older brother and sister were nowhere to be found, and he didn't dare to ask anyone for directions.
In the past few days, he had been circling around the base and had heard a lot of news. Yan Kun wanted to kill him. Could it be related to the conflict between the Mei family and the Bai family?
But why? Although my sister and Brother Bai are on good terms, they are not so close that she would do anything for him. Why would Chief Mei target our family?
Suddenly I remembered my sister's conversation with Ning Qiang on the island... I understand now, my sister's mother came from the Bai family!
Chief Mei, vying for power with the Bai family, naturally wouldn't leave any hidden dangers for himself. His own family had become a major concern for him, and he was determined to eliminate them as soon as possible.
I see!!
Chief Mei brought me to his side; he probably had ulterior motives all along!
After figuring out what had happened, Xiao Hao angrily punched the sea, splashing water everywhere.
His gaze drifted into the distance, where a large area of newly laid minefields lay. If it weren't for his powerful mental strength, which allowed him to find a passage free of mines, it would have been difficult for him to approach the base.
His eyes darted around. "It's only polite to reciprocate. Mei Yanqing, you wait, I'll give you a big gift first."
I took a deep breath, dived down, leaving a shallow line on the surface of the sea before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
About ten minutes later, a head appeared on the shallow water in the southwest corner of the base. Xiao Hao cautiously looked around and, after confirming that no one was there, quickly went ashore.
He picked up a sharp rock, found a spot, and started digging. After about twenty digs, a large backpack was revealed underneath. He brushed off the dirt, picked up the backpack, found a blind spot, and hid himself.
The water was a bit cold, and the wet, cold clothes clung to my body. When the wind blew, my body temperature dropped sharply. After changing into dry clothes, I kept rubbing my body. It took about 7 or 8 minutes for my body to warm up again.
Xiao Hao wasn't in a hurry. He found a comfortable spot and sat down, half-lying down and half-sitting.
He pulled out a few rice balls and a can of fish from the side pocket of his backpack, fed himself until he was half full, and then stopped.
He unzipped his backpack, revealing a sniper rifle gleaming with a cold, hard light. He skillfully inspected each part of the weapon, assembled it, and then aimed it into the distance to test its feel.
In just a short while, it got dark.
A riot had just occurred, and the troops were still searching for dangerous individuals. Several bright incandescent lights illuminated half of the sea.
After observing for a while, Xiao Hao found a spot closest to the minefield and crouched down, running as fast as he could.
The base is not safe. At this time, few people go out. As long as you avoid the observation posts... Alas, things don't always go as planned!
The soldier in the observation post spotted Xiao Hao and shouted, "Halt!"
Xiao Hao glanced at him, but it didn't affect his running speed at all. This is not my fault. It's a perfectly good dinner time. Why are you staring at me like that?
Just as the soldier was about to shout again, it felt like he had been hit on the head with a heavy hammer. The pain made his voice stuck in his throat, and he swayed before falling headfirst off the watchtower.
The loud thud startled those nearby, and whistles, running sounds, and alarms filled the air, plunging the once quiet base into chaos once more.
Xiao Hao had already run to his destination, aimed at the mine in the sea, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger. The bullet flew rapidly towards the mine.
Thud! Thud! Thud! ...
Like lit fuses, the mines exploded one after another, each explosion causing violent tremors in the surrounding waters, with water droplets cascading down like waterfalls.
The sound of mines exploding echoed one after another, and bursts of fire erupted one after another, stirring up the entire sea surface.
Water splashes, smoke, and firelight mingled together, drawing everyone's attention.
Mei Yanqing stood on a high place, the firelight reflecting off his face.
Though he couldn't make out the details, Xiao Hao knew that the man was none other than Chief Mei, who wanted to kill his entire family.
A sneer, humph! Water-based fireworks, aren't they beautiful? Enjoy!
We're giving away a big gift, two gifts in total, and there's more, just wait and see!
For a moment, Xiao Hao wanted to kill Mei Yanqing, but he held back. His older brother and sister were missing, and he didn't know if it was related to the old man. He decided to keep them alive for now.
Zhao Hongyi was also watching the explosion in the distance from the deck. He was completely different from the Major General Zhao that Professor Jin had met that morning.
The blazing fire could not dispel the slightest bit of the icy chill emanating from him. Death surrounded him, the light in his eyes was swallowed by despair, and his soul seemed to have died, leaving only desolation.
The coldness pressed against the back of his head again. Zhao Hongyi lowered his head, seemingly amused.
"You really can't stay still for even a moment, making such a big fuss just to scare me with a gun? Ha, my family is in your hands, there's no need for this."
Xiao Hao was stunned for a moment, then realized that Uncle Zhao had mistaken him for Brother Bai's father.
"Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Hongyi froze, seemingly in disbelief, and turned around:
"Xiao Hao, it's you! When did you get back?"
His tone conveyed three parts concern, three parts inquiry, and the remaining four parts were too complex to be extracted.
"I don't want to get physical with you, but you'd better not call for help, or else, hmph!"
Xiao Hao put away his gun.
Zhao Hongyi scrutinized Xiao Hao closely, and after a while, he lowered his head and chuckled softly, "When I first met you, you were still so small."
He gestured to indicate his height, "One foot inside the door, one foot outside, holding a sniper rifle. At the time, I thought, 'He's so young, and he already knows how to use a sniper rifle. He'll definitely be amazing in the future.'"
