This primeval forest is the largest wilderness in the Marili Kingdom, home to tall banyan trees. To the north lies a vast expanse inhabited by many large animals, such as lions and elephants…
Within the tropical jungle, the sounds of various birds and animals can be heard everywhere, especially monkeys leaping and chattering in the trees. Perhaps they were startled by the sight of humans, causing the animals to flee.
“This way…”
Pizarro led thirty former elite armed forces members, each a former special forces soldier from various countries. Their combat proficiency was, needless to say, exceptional.
However, this time, facing the Chinese man who had single-handedly annihilated the Caroquijin drug cartel, Pizarro knew he was not facing an ordinary person, but a Chinese individual possessing terrifying levels of Chinese martial arts.
“Vice-captain, there’s blood here.” wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Three team members, highly familiar with the wilderness, led the way and immediately discovered bloodstains on the grass. Pizarro approached, crouched down, and touched the fresh blood. It had not yet coagulated, indicating it had been shed not long ago.
This puzzled a team member: “Could he be injured?”
Pizarro looked up, his sharp blue eyes fixed on the southwest direction of Wan Yunting and the others’ escape. He shook his head slightly and said, “Torres and his men shouldn’t be able to injure him!”
A newly joined member couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Vice-captain, you might be overestimating one Chinese person. I could crush any of those yellow-skinned monkeys with one hand.”
This remark caused Pizarro to stand up and turn to look at the member. In fact, this elite armed escort team, which once dominated the entire Mexican drug trade, had long since undergone a generational change.
Most of the members were almost wiped out by the Mexican army. Morton had only managed to escape Mexico with a hundred men and sought a new path in Africa, becoming a new mercenary organization in the African region, known as the Molcar Company! After Morton fled to Africa, he recruited heavily, attracting many retired special forces soldiers from various countries to join their mercenary company, the Molcar Company. Currently, they had no more than five hundred members.
Therefore, of the thirty men Pizarro led, only his five close confidantes had escaped with him from Mexico. The remaining members were recruited locally. Naturally, they were not deeply aware of the terrifying strength of that Chinese man, Wan Yunting.
“You think Torres and his men are inferior to you?”
Pizarro’s face darkened. He glared at the arrogant member who had spoken out of turn and coldly questioned him.
The member paused, then chuckled and said, “Vice-captain, I just think there’s no need for us to be afraid of a Chinese person.”
“Hmph.”
Pizarro gave him a stern look, then scanned the newly joined members and warned them sternly, “Everyone, it’s not that I’m inflating the enemy’s might, but the Chinese person we are facing is the enemy most feared by drug traffickers worldwide!”
“Therefore, do not underestimate Chinese people, because he possesses terrifying abilities that we cannot understand or predict. Do you know about Chinese Kung Fu?”
“Chinese Kung Fu?”
The members exchanged glances. The same member sneered, “Chinese Kung Fu, like Bruce Lee?”
“You…”
Pizarro turned, pointing at the member, and angrily said, “Bruce Lee is my idol!”
The member chuckled again, “My apologies…”
Pizarro glared at him coldly and said, “That Chinese man’s kung fu is even more formidable than Bruce Lee’s, so please, do not underestimate him. If we are careless, our fate will be the same as Torres and his men. Understand?”
“Yes…”
All members shouted in unison.
Pizarro cast another fierce glare at that member before turning, waving his hand, and heading in the direction Wan Yunting and the others had fled: “Chase! I hope we can return tomorrow to participate in the main battle!”
With that, the fully armed members followed Pizarro, continuing to track the trail left by Wan Yunting and the others…
Time passed, and it was now six o’clock in the evening. The sun gradually disappeared into the forest, and the prelude to nightfall signaled the emergence of the forest animals for their nightly foraging.
“Hoo~~~”
Wan Yunting, with two assault rifles slung around his neck, held Li Yuxiu in his left arm and Nie Xiaoyu in his right. The three of them had been running through the tropical jungle in a southwest direction for two hours. The two women were panting, their bodies covered in sweat…
The oppressive heat in the tropical jungle was unbearable, and even Wan Yunting was drenched in sweat. However, he knew they were being pursued and that Li Yuxiu and Nie Xiaoyu were injured. Therefore, his primary concern was to ensure their safety.
“Let’s rest for a moment…”
Seeing Li Yuxiu and Nie Xiaoyu’s pale faces and sweating profusely, especially Li Yuxiu, who was more seriously injured and completely devoid of strength, relying on Wan Yunting’s support to walk.
Nie Xiaoyu’s injury was not as severe, but she had not fully recovered her peak condition after being previously shaken. Now injured again, she was naturally weak and exhausted. Wan Yunting gently set them both down to sit on the ground, leaning against a fallen, withered tree. The two women continued to catch their breath…
“Sister Yuxiu, let me see your wound…”
As he spoke, Wan Yunting lifted her shirt. The gauze was already soaked in blood. Looking at the wound, although the bleeding had been stopped, the strenuous activity of walking for over two hours had worsened it. She was extremely weak and pale, a frightening sight.
Wan Yunting’s expression was grave. If things continued like this, the wound could prove fatal for Li Yuxiu!
“You… you should stop caring about me…” Li Yuxiu leaned against the tree, her will fading, and weakly said.
“Don’t talk nonsense…”
Wan Yunting took out fresh gauze and some medicinal herbs from his bag to re-bandage Li Yuxiu’s wound. He said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely get you back.”
Nie Xiaoyu, sitting beside them, took out her military-issued encrypted mobile phone, only to find it damaged by shrapnel. She then turned and asked, “Doctor Wan, Doctor Li, do you still have your phones?”
After re-bandaging Li Yuxiu’s wound, Wan Yunting checked his pockets. He discovered his own phone was missing. Fortunately, he had taken a satellite phone from the foreign man he had killed earlier and handed it to Nie Xiaoyu: “Try this.”
Nie Xiaoyu, enduring her pain, reached out and took the satellite phone. She attempted to contact the base, but the response was that the phone was out of service and couldn’t connect. She shook her head at Wan Yunting.
Li Yuxiu also took out her phone and handed it to Wan Yunting. He saw that the phone had no signal. Nie Xiaoyu said, “There’s hardly any signal coverage here…”
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow and said to her, “So, we are now cut off from the base.”
Nie Xiaoyu, while clutching her injured right side, said, “Even though we’re cut off, the base must know something has happened to us.”
This was indeed true. Nie Xiaoyu had been reporting their situation to the base every hour. After encountering the attack by Torres and his men, more than three hours had passed. When the base couldn’t reach Nie Xiaoyu and the other team members, they immediately dispatched a team of soldiers to search for them.
At this very moment, Qin Guowu was personally leading a team of peacekeeping soldiers. Following the last known communication location of Nie Xiaoyu, they found the site of the battle and discovered the bodies of Tang Xiaotian and Xiao Xiang and their five companions.
This filled Qin Guowu and his team with grief. He immediately contacted Luo Guowei at the base to report: “Captain Luo, something has happened. They were ambushed by a mercenary organization, and Xiao Tian and Xiao Xiang and the others have all sacrificed their lives.”
“What?”
Luo Guowei, who was in the command center at the base, stood up abruptly upon hearing this news. Other officers present were also stunned, looking at Luo Guowei. He quickly asked, “Were all of them killed?”
Qin Guowu replied, “We didn’t see Doctor Wan, Doctor Li, or Captain Nie. They might still be alive!”
Luo Guowei’s expression turned grim, and he asked, “Which mercenary organization was it?”
Qin Guowu identified the organization based on the insignia on the clothing of the mercenary bodies: “It was mercenaries from the Molcar Company!”
“Molcar Company?”
Upon hearing the name of this mercenary organization, Luo Guowei was surprised.
Today, the United Nations and peacekeeping forces from various countries were jointly confronting terrorist organizations and rebels in Niger City, and they had also encountered mercenaries from the Molcar Company.
“Why would they attack Doctor Wan and his team?” Luo Guowei asked, puzzled.
“We’re not sure…” Qin Guowu shook his head.
Suddenly, a soldier emerging from the forest called out, “Captain Qin, there are more bodies over here…”
Luo Guowei sternly ordered, “Regardless of whether they are alive or dead, you must find Doctor Wan and Xiaoyu.”
“Yes.”
Qin Guowu acknowledged, hung up the call, and instructed the other members to properly collect the bodies of Tang Xiaotian and his companions for return to the base…
He also ordered the collection of the mercenaries’ bodies. He then led a few soldiers into the forest and discovered the bodies of Torres and his men…
“Contact headquarters for me.”
Luo Guowei picked up the phone and connected to He Yongchang, the head of the peacekeeping forces headquarters, to report: “Sir, something has happened. Doctor Wan and Nie Xiaoyu went out to find medicine today and were attacked by mercenaries from the Molcar Company. Currently, we have lost five soldiers. The whereabouts of Doctor Wan, Doctor Li, and Nie Xiaoyu are unknown.”
He Yongchang, who was at headquarters, his face changed instantly upon hearing this news. He asked, “How did they encounter an attack from the Molcar Company?”
Luo Guowei shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. I would like to ask you, Sir, to thoroughly investigate this Molcar Company.”
He Yongchang nodded and said, “I will handle this. You must find the whereabouts of Wan Yunting and the others as soon as possible.”
“Yes, I will personally lead a team to support Guowu and the others.” Luo Guowei said.
“Alright, report the situation to me promptly.”
“Understood.”
After speaking, Luo Guowei hung up the call and turned to go out to assemble his men…
Lin Dongxiang and Zheng Xuelan emerged from the research laboratory and saw Luo Guowei gathering soldiers, unaware of what had happened…
