Light Fortress-Chapter 1486 - 207: Solar Flare

"’Lingxi has discovered the ’refugee’.’"

"The target is a young female, no threat, no threat... You can approach."

The captain’s order came through: "Take her away, countdown to return in 5 minutes, everyone prepare to head back to the ship."

This rescue temporary team, each team consists of four members: two North Continent soldiers and two Sincere Heart Association members.

After the captain’s order was issued, the team was supposed to act immediately, but a wooden voice suddenly added: "The rescue target also includes an elderly person... around sixty years old."

"..."

This comment caused the already unstable communication channel to fall into silence.

The captain’s silence felt like disconnection.

The four-member team stood on a hill, where ash and rain intertwined. Only by using the terrain could they clearly see the stumbling girl... The two Transcendents from the Sincere Heart Association looked bewildered, while the other North Continent soldier had a complex expression.

"Zhao Qi, I always thought you were a mute."

The soldier in the same group said awkwardly: "Although you reported the number, it seems like this is the first time you’ve spoken since the mission began heading south."

Saying this, the other two Law Enforcers of the Sincere Heart Association also sensed something amiss.

"Zhao Qi..."

These two Law Enforcers were quite young; when they joined the Da Du underground organization, the conflict between Huazhi and South Bay had just concluded. No matter how young they were, they had still heard of the "Zhao Group"!

Zhao Xilai had only just passed away a few years ago.

The power that Mrs. Zhao commanded was precisely what the Zhao Family had established!

The two young members of the Sincere Heart Association exchanged glances, bewildered. They were executing a temporary task and hadn’t paid much attention to the other team members. But they had clearly noticed one person’s gloomy silence, not a word spoken throughout.

At this moment, they looked over.

The Zhao Family’s poster had been seen by them before.

The image on the poster was of a rather slender playboy, yet the man at present was entirely different from the poster.

Full of stubble, with a gloomy expression, a pale face, eyes filled with numbness.

"It must be the same name, right?"

"I suppose so..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The two young members of the Sincere Heart Association communicated silently; few truly understood what had happened back then.

The public only knew.

After Huazhi’s transfer to Lu Nanzhi, the Zhao Family disappeared overnight... Zhao Xilai’s tombstone was rumored to be buried on an unknown barren hill, as for that spoiled playboy, he vanished completely.

In the Dadu District, rumors said Zhao Qi was eliminated.

No one continued to investigate, no one sought answers.

Because everyone felt that this version of the ’answer’ was quite good...

That heap of trash, if truly eliminated, would indeed be a great ending.

"Gentlemen, time is tight, carry out the mission..."

Zhao Qi spoke again.

Because he noticed the gazes of the three were all fixed on him, and they didn’t seem to have any intent to leave.

Only five minutes remained until return.

He had no intention to waste time on such trivial matters.

With a word to wake the three members of the team, Zhao Qi softly arranged the task: "You rescue the little girl, I’ll go save the elderly."

"... Hey hey!"

The accompanying North Continent soldier hadn’t gotten a chance to speak when Zhao Qi’s Source Armor Tail Wing had already spewed flames and charged out.

The soldier sighed deeply.

To his knowledge, Zhao Qi’s strength wasn’t particularly formidable, seemingly only slightly better than novice level...

With such strength, why show off?

"Let’s go, save people first and talk later."

The warrior spoke softly and went along with the two Law Enforcers of the Sincere Heart Association.

...

...

Boom!

Tao Yao saw the black night sky illuminated by a scarlet flame, the rain vapor torn apart by the Source Armor, the North Continent rescuer leading the way, while two members of the Sincere Heart Association dispersed the ash in the rear.

"Little girl... congratulations, you are saved."

Upon hearing this voice, there was no joy on Tao Yao’s face.

Her face looked pale, she turned to glance at the direction she came from, "Someone else, someone else... please, save my grandma."

"..."

Three people remained silent.

"Where did you escape from?"

A Law Enforcer from the Sincere Heart Association noticed the little girl’s anomaly; her cheeks were sweet and cute, but her skin bore black spots, as if burned by the sun.

"I came from West Cave."

West Cave... The Law Enforcer of Sincere Heart Association reported this information immediately!

The sunburn traces...

Most likely caused by the Light Church!

"Please, behind me... save her!"

Tao Yao sobbed, pleading bitterly.

She finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Her brother didn’t lie to her, heading west truly offered a chance to be saved... but she’s rescued, what about her grandmother?

Behind was the place her grandmother fell.

"Sorry, you must come with us now... As for that elderly person, we have already located her, someone will go to her rescue."

The Law Enforcer of the Sincere Heart Association who completed the report took a deep breath, looked at Tao Yao, and once those words were spoken, delivered a swift chop; there was no room for hesitation in such moments, removing this little girl was the best choice.

Otherwise.

If time is delayed, everyone will die outside!

"Three minutes to boarding time... retreat!"

He said softly: "If you don’t return now, it will be too late."

The three carried the little girl and sped towards the Source Energy Boat’s station.

"Returning immediately... Zhao Qi, please answer if you hear."

...

...

Amidst the rain, red flames fell, landing on the muddy ground.
