Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 403

"Yes, I understand. Let's not talk about this now. How much do you know about the situation in the Changbai Mountain Range?" Zhang Guodong's tone was extremely serious as he looked at Yang Wucheng.

Hearing this, Yang Wucheng gave a wry smile and spread his hands. "I only know what I've already told you. All we can do is tell our people to be careful. Other than that, my hands are tied."

At Yang Wucheng's words, Zhang Guodong's expression grew solemn. "It seems that's our only option. So, we move out tonight?"

"Yes. At nine o'clock. It will be dark by the time we fly there," Yang Wucheng said.

"Alright, it's settled then. We move out at nine o'clock sharp," Zhang Guodong said after a glance at Yang Wucheng.

Hearing this, Yang Wucheng nodded with a smile.

In the time that followed, the Seal Special Team, the Thunderhawk Special Forces, Lin Kuang, and Huo Feifei all gathered to discuss the plan. Among them, Lin Kuang naturally took the lead. After all, his strength had been acknowledged by everyone, so no one objected to him being the captain.

Once everyone was acquainted, they began to rest, as there was still a considerable amount of time before evening.

Lying on a stiff bed, Lin Kuang quietly stared at the ceiling, his gaze filled with an unconcealable longing.

"Wan'er," he muttered to himself, his eyes resolute, "I don't know what happened back then. If you're still alive, I will find you. I swear it. I will find you. Wait for me!"

Countless memories of their time together flashed through his mind until, gradually, he fell into a deep sleep.

「At eight in the evening, everyone assembled.」

After dinner, the group headed to the parade ground, where Yang Wucheng, Zhang Guodong, and a helicopter were already waiting. Seeing Lin Kuang and the nineteen others approach, smiles appeared on the faces of Yang Wucheng and Zhang Guodong.

"Lin Kuang, it's all in your hands now," Yang Wucheng said, his tone grave. "This mission is of the utmost importance. You must successfully retrieve the Biochemical Virus's original sample!"

Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded firmly.

"Rest assured, sir. We will retrieve the original sample!" Lin Kuang stated solemnly.

"Good. We trust you. Now go. We'll be waiting for your good news!" Yang Wucheng and Zhang Guodong said in unison, their eyes filled with trust.

"Yes, Commander!" Lin Kuang shouted and saluted. At his signal, Zhang Tianyou, Kang Cheng, and the others also saluted before the twenty of them, led by Lin Kuang, boarded the helicopter.

Once they were inside, the cabin door closed and the helicopter's engines roared to life. The wash from the rotor blades whipped up a fierce wind as the massive machine slowly ascended, streaking toward the horizon until it vanished from sight.

Yang Wucheng and Zhang Guodong stood with their heads tilted back, their eyes fixed on the retreating helicopter. Only when it had disappeared completely did they lower their gazes.

"I hope they succeed. After all, this is our only chance," Zhang Guodong murmured, glancing at his old friend.

"Don't worry. I believe they will," Yang Wucheng said confidently, patting Zhang Guodong's shoulder.

"You're right. Come on, let's go for a drink. Last time in Nanjing, you really pulled one over on me. This time, don't think you're getting off so easy, you old rascal," Zhang Guodong said with a hearty laugh.

"Damn it, do you have to hold such a grudge, you old rascal?" Yang Wucheng retorted with a grin. The two of them walked off, eventually getting into a car and driving away.

Meanwhile, inside the helicopter, everyone sat in silence, and the atmosphere was heavy.

Sensing the tension, Lin Kuang couldn't help but smile slightly. "Come on, everyone, there's nothing to worry about. They're just a bunch of little Japanese devils. As long as we're careful, taking them down will be a breeze. No need for such long faces."

Hearing Lin Kuang's words, the others paused for a moment before smiles broke out on their faces.

"The instructor's right. They're just a bunch of little Japanese devils. It's not like we haven't wasted them before," Zhang Tianyou said with a grin, instantly breaking the heavy mood.

"Exactly! They're just some little Japanese devils, what's there to worry about? Besides, with the instructor here, won't taking them out be a piece of cake?" Hu Yang added with a cheeky smile.

"Right. We need to relax but stay alert. That's the only way to perform at our best. I guess I was taking things a bit too seriously just now," Kang Cheng, the captain of the Thunderhawk Special Forces, said with a laugh.

Truth be told, none of them were nervous. The heavy atmosphere wasn't born of fear. It was the gravity of the mission—the fact that there was no room for error—that made them so solemn and tense. Now, after hearing Lin Kuang's casual remarks, their anxiety melted away, and they naturally began to relax.

In the next moment, the cabin filled with laughter and lively conversation.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang smiled. This was the right mindset for them to have, and he was satisfied.

Sitting beside him, Huo Feifei watched him quietly. She had loved following him around since she was a child. As she grew up, that dependence didn't fade; if anything, her childhood attachment only made it stronger. This was especially true over the past year. Not being able to see or contact Lin Kuang had left her feeling utterly helpless, and she barely knew how she had gotten through it.

Now that she saw him again, Huo Feifei was content. Just as when they were children, she sat beside him, watching him quietly. The only difference was that back then, she could watch him openly, but now, she could only steal glances.

Just being able to see Brother Kuang is enough, isn't it? Huo Feifei thought to herself, a sweet smile gracing her lips.

Time passed quietly as the helicopter flew on, gradually approaching the Changbai Mountain Range. Following the coordinates from Sato Ichiro, the pilot brought the helicopter to a hover ten kilometers from the target location.

"Colonel, we've reached the destination. Prepare to descend," the pilot announced.

Lin Kuang nodded with a smile. "Alright, brothers, it's time to go. Let's move out!"

With that, Lin Kuang opened the door, dropped a rope, and rappelled to the ground below. Seeing this, Huo Feifei, Zhang Tianyou, Kang Cheng, and the others quickly followed suit.

The helicopter departed immediately; it couldn't risk staying in the area.

"Alright, brothers, let's go," Lin Kuang said, looking around at the pitch-black night.
