4446 The Other Side 415
The Hurricane Group also had troops stationed in East Africa.
At this point, when the ship approached the port, the troops stationed in East Africa would come to receive it.
Navigation at sea was extremely monotonous, and they had to deal with the harsh navigation environment.
On the day they set off, they encountered a storm.
At night, the sea breeze was strong, and the waves lifted the cargo ship. Even though Gong Jie was experienced, he could not sleep well at night. When he slept on the bed, he felt dizzy as if he was lying on the top of the waves. Although nauseous, he could not throw up because he had not eaten much.
All communication relied on satellite phones.
On the ship, they could not eat anything too greasy. Other than nutritious canned food, pure water, and all fruits, meat was basically eliminated.
Dawn.
Unable to fall asleep, Gong Jie went to the deck early in the morning. Biting on an energy bar, he calmly watched the sunrise.
“You didn’t sleep all night?” Vermillion Bird’s voice came from behind.
The man turned around and glanced at her. “You didn’t sleep too?”
“It’s my duty night.” Vermillion Bird strode over. “I’m going to rest for a while. If I don’t rest well, how would I be able to deal with the next battle?”
As a mercenary, Vermillion Bird had a very powerful ability. That was, no matter the time, place or situation, as long as she closed her eyes with the intention of sleeping, she could quickly fall asleep in ten seconds.
As if this was not impressive enough…
What was truly valiant was that even when she was asleep, she could control when she wished to wake up.
One time, when she was carrying out an operation in the wilderness. She was lying on the battlefield with corpses beside her. The place where she lay was filled with the unbearable stench of blood.
However, she closed her eyes and was soon asleep. Bullets rained down around her, but nothing could wake her up. She slept peacefully under the cover of the trenches.
At night, the war subsided. Vermillion Bird had slept enough and woke up. She relied on her own strength to infiltrate the enemy base and kill the exhausted enemies one by one.
Vermillion Bird was an absolutely outstanding mercenary. To her, killing someone was no different from stepping on an ant.
Sometimes, Gong Jie envied her ability to get a good quality sleep.
Suddenly, he asked curiously with the energy bar still hanging out of his mouth, “How do you do that?”
“What?”
“Sleeping whenever you want. That’s a skill, too.”
Gong Jie sometimes suffered insomnia. Sometimes, he would dream of people. Mu Qingcheng, Yun Shishi…
Strange people that made strange dreams.
As a result, no matter how long he slept, he felt muddle-headed.
Vermillion Bird smiled and walked over. Leaning against the railing to catch the sea breeze, she said calmly, “Because other than killing people, I have nothing else to worry about.”
She had no burdens or worries. No family, no lover. To her, she was an unattached individual and did not need to worry about anything.
At the same time, feelings were a huge taboo to her. Any involvement would become a burden to her.
Hence, although she was almost 27 years old, she was unattached.
“Don’t you feel lonely?”
Gong Jie smiled. “Your life is made up of stinky things.”
Money, blood… Would such a person not feel lonely?
“Ha, why should I feel lonely?”
