The members of the Xueyu unit who used birds as their code names were best at sneak attacks. Now that it was dark and the wind was strong, it was a good time to kill and commit arson. When Ye Jian mentioned sneak attacks, it was equivalent to hitting the nail on the head.
After observing for a while, they saw a few people jump off the container.
Ye Jian immediately added, “They’re changing shifts. They’re patrolling and changing shifts. The eastbound single-story container that’s four meters away from the other containers is the first sentry position. There are three people patrolling.
“There are two men patrolling above the two-tiered containers near the sea. This is the highest sentry position. There are two men patrolling the single-tiered containers near the westbound side. That makes seven. The rest of you, enter through the middle double-tiered container.”
Ye Jian, who was in charge of observing, explained in detail.
Pigeon knelt down slightly and said to the two engineers, “Please hide outside. These are two GPS units. Please carry them. We’ll come to you immediately after we complete the rescue mission inside. If anyone escapes from outside, we’ll have to trouble you to take care of them.”
After handing the two GPS devices into the hands of the two engineers, he whispered, “We’ll join you immediately after we get the other 10 engineers out. Hide here well and don’t move around unless you have to.”
The two engineers who took the GPS devices nodded calmly. “Don’t worry about us. The two of us definitely won’t walk around and hold you back. If the two of us aren’t here, take the other engineers away first.
“Especially Fang Gong and Jiang Gong. They’re core technicians. We have to protect them!”
To the members of the Xueyu unit, they were responsible to rescue the 12 members of the engineering team and have them safely return to the country. Each of them shouldered this responsibility. How could they abandon their responsibility?
“We have orders that 12 engineers from the engineering team must be rescued successfully. We can’t abandon even one. Please take care, both of you. We’ll be back soon.” Pigeon saluted them both and sped away into the still and dangerous night.
The two engineers lay quietly at the invisible spot chosen by Pigeon and the others. They stared ahead without blinking… In the night that was as thick as ink, they only saw the tree trunk that was as ferocious as a monster’s horn. The soldiers who were with them just now had disappeared without a trace.
“I don’t know which special army unit they’re from, but they’re a lot more skilled than the soldiers who escorted us here. With them, Fang Gong and Jiang Gong should be fine.”
One of the engineers spoke quietly, his voice strained but steady.
The other engineer said, “As long as Fang Gong and Jiang Gong are still alive, they’ll definitely save everyone. The two of us should hide well and not cause them any trouble. Our country’s soldiers are reliable. When I heard the female soldier shout, ‘Get down!’, I was really relieved.”
When they heard the familiar voice, a light suddenly struck the gray world. It gave them an instant sense of security, and they saw hope filled with light.
This was their country. It had never given up on them, even from thousands of miles away. When the country learned that they were in danger, they immediately sent troops to rescue them. That ‘get down’ meant that the country had sent people over!
As soldiers, they had never been afraid to go abroad to carry out projects despite the life-threatening risk. It was because every one of them knew in their hearts that no matter where they were, they never had to fear being abandoned.
