Chapter 1489 - 1508: Absolutely No Mercy

Chapter 1489: Chapter 1508: Absolutely No Mercy

The direct line warriors who had always followed Huo Beijiang also looked at Lei Hao disapprovingly. The news of the emergence of the second-in-command had already spread, and they were about to engage in a large-scale armed conflict with the rebel leader. From here to the entire Kannaya Peninsula desert was an active war zone.

Every minute of delay in leaving would increase the risk, and now more than a hundred lives were on the blade’s edge. They wouldn’t sacrifice everyone for just one person.

Lei Hao also figured it out. Although he wasn’t clear about the Kaka Military Group’s operation plan, what he had seen and heard along the way and the rumors among the rebels quickly made him realize what was about to happen.

"Yes!" Lei Hao accepted the task with guilt.

"Carry out the mission!"

"Yes!"

Huo Beijiang turned and walked back. A man with a gray headscarf came toward him and said something unknown. The two quickly left together.

Lei Hao watched Huo Beijiang’s back in a daze, feeling unfamiliar as if meeting him for the first time. The person before him was decisive, calm, iron-blooded, and resolute, making him admire profoundly. From this moment on, he would no longer compete with Huo Beijiang.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Jin bumped Lei Hao’s shoulder, "What are you daydreaming about?"

"Nothing... By the way, does your boss always act like this on tasks?"

"Does he seem unfamiliar to you?" Lu Jin puffed out his chest proudly, "Actually, it’s not like this every time; it mainly depends on what the mission is. In this place..." Speaking of which, his voice dropped a few decibels, with a hint of sadness and pain he didn’t even notice in his tone.

"In such a hellish place, there’s no room for softness." During the last mission, so many people came, yet only a handful returned alive. Those were living lives, their closest comrades. Many hadn’t died at the enemies’ hands but fell because of their benevolent intentions.

If the boss hadn’t been thoroughly angry, wishing to avenge his brothers, he wouldn’t have dared to cooperate so boldly with Kaka back then.

Lei Hao quickly figured out and resolutely executed the task afterward, evacuating everyone at the fastest speed. What they needed to do now was to relocate people to the harbor before the rebels and the Kaka Military Group clashed, handing them over to Tu Cheng on the battleship.

Everyone cooperated eagerly with Lei Hao’s orders, eager to leave this hellhole. Only Chen Jing stubbornly refused to go, wanting Lei Hao to breach the military base and rescue Ding Jiaqi, otherwise, she would not leave.

In the end, Lei Hao didn’t compromise, pleading numerous times fruitlessly, and under others’ cursing and urging, he took everyone and left.

Crossing the entire desert, they were running out of time, and the tension would only escalate.

Huo Beijiang, after inspecting the surroundings of the military base with Burbank, saw Lu Jin waiting for him on the way back.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly." He gave Lu Jin a playful kick.

Lu Jin observed secretly, noticing his complexion was much better than before, he then breathed a sigh of relief and flashed a bright smile, "Boss, I’m here to beg you to rescue Ding Jiaqi."

"You’ve gotten soft too?" Huo Beijiang raised his eyebrows, "She dares to hang up on me, she must pay the price." Although he disapproved of many things Kaka did, as long as Kaka’s orders weren’t major military or political mistakes, he wouldn’t interfere.
