The old policeman's voice choked for a moment as he carefully removed the leaf and clutched it tightly in his hand.
He looked up into the dark depths of the jungle, his eyes instantly reddening. "It's Expert Xia...it must be her!"
"She not only knew we were in danger, but she also cleared the obstacles for us and planned our route..."
A miraculous escape!
One second they were still mired in the shadow of injury, pursuers, and death in a natural predicament.
The next second, a helping hand from their motherland pierced through the rainforest in such an incredible way, reaching precisely in front of them!
They even delivered the most wanted criminals that other countries were desperately pursuing and longing for directly to their hands!
The three tough men felt a tightness in their throats.
My chest was throbbing with a burning emotion, a feeling of being the pillar of my country and the divine assistance of my comrades.
They turned towards their motherland without prior arrangement, ignoring their physical pain and exhaustion, straightened their backs, and solemnly and forcefully saluted!
After the ceremony, there was no further hesitation.
They helped each other up and carefully sat on the wild boar's broad, warm back.
The wild boar stood up steadily, its little hooves kicking powerfully.
The old policeman lay on the pig's back, took one last look at the leaf with the signal engraved on it, and carefully put it away.
Suppressing his excitement, he pointed out the general direction of the base to the wild boar.
The Asiatic black bear easily hoisted the three unconscious "trophies" back onto its back, acting as the most reliable guard alongside the group.
"At this speed..."
The veteran officer estimated the time and said excitedly, "At most an hour and a half, we'll be back in the safe zone!"
No need to worry about drug dealers lying in ambush, no need to fear the beasts lurking in the darkness.
They will carry the captured weapons and escort the priceless criminals on this magical "Jungle Express" to the light and return home in glory!
...
Late at night, deep in the rainforest.
Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun rode in the "Little Pig War Chariot," taking advantage of the cover of night and their animal companions, and quietly made their way to the vicinity of the agreed-upon meeting point with the undercover agent.
This place is located on the edge of a deep mountain valley where drug traffickers' hideout is located.
Drug traffickers usually set up their hideouts deep in the mountains, ruling the area as their own territory, where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
As agreed, the undercover comrade would emerge from the secret waterway behind the mountain pass—
A river originating from the deep mountains, flowing past the vicinity of the old nest, and finally meandering into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, flows downstream to meet the predetermined reed marsh.
Time passed second by second, and the appointed moment arrived. Apart from the gurgling water and the occasional leaping fish, there was no one on the river.
No undercover agent appeared.
Ji Shuyun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he said in a low voice, "Something's not right."
"Either he was exposed, or he encountered insurmountable obstacles in his escape."
Xia Zhining's heart was also gripped tightly.
Boss Ya darted back like a black lightning bolt, landing swiftly on Xia Zhining's shoulder.
The news it brought seemed to darken the night: [The owl in the mountains said there were more people patrolling the mountains today.]
[There are also checkpoints patrolling the riverbank the undercover comrade is going to take; there are guards everywhere!]
[They've temporarily raised their alert level today!]
Xia Zhining's heart tightened: "A temporary increase in alert? Why today of all days?"
The owl flapped its wings, continuing to relay even worse news: [The owls also say that a big shot is coming to the mountains today!]
Those wicked two-legged creatures are ten times more nervous than usual, checking everywhere, afraid of making a mistake!
