Fierce Love: Bringing Wife Home

Chapter 358: Chapter 137

The first item on the mission card, cross-country exercise. They had to go to a designated location to collect supplies while penniless and then deliver important intelligence to a specified person.

On the way, they would pass through two provinces and four counties of Xuan State, with their destination being the neighboring country to the Xuan State border, Dafen Country. There would be ambushers along the way to confront them.

Each of them only had three time strips, each representing one day. But with the country so far away, it was impossible to complete within three days. To accomplish the mission, they could snatch time strips from one another, with each person only allowed to snatch one at a time. It was permissible to use transportation during the journey, but they were not to disturb the civilians, steal, or damage private property.

The second item on the mission card was to destroy the crime dens of seven major drug lords at marked locations on the map. Live ammunition could be used during this period, including shooting to kill. It was noted that all the drug lords at these locations were real. This was actual combat. They also needed to seize the drugs from the drug lords. The country that completed the mission most impressively and with the highest frequency would win.

The third item on the mission card, hostage rescue. Hostages were being held at locations marked in blue on the map. If they were captured while rescuing the hostages, team members could also rescue them. If they were ’killed,’ they would be eliminated.

The fourth item on the mission card was to enter Dafen Country and help them resist an invasion battle.

This was a real war.

As early as three months ago, international news reports were already covering the conflict between Dafen Country and Superior Country.

Now Xuan State, under the guise of resisting an invasion, had them assist Dafen, it seemed that Xuan State intended to intervene and stop this war.

What wasn’t expected was that they would perversely join the battle between the two countries.

This event was indeed not easy, with actual life-and-death stakes. To win the first place was even more difficult.

"We need to gather our team," Xiao Xi said. "Otherwise, if we get separated, it’s easy to get caught or eliminated. Our last mission requires everyone’s cooperation to complete it. If we lose our comrades on the way, we’ll be left isolated."

Gu Xiaoxi pocketed the mission card and looked at Yun Xiao, "Let Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiao split up to find people, and we’ll meet at the first drug lord’s hideout."

"Be careful on the road!" Yun Xiao didn’t question Gu Xiaoxi’s arrangement and left with Xiao Xiao towards another park.

They were the earliest to arrive here, so it was necessary to wait for other teammates to gather.

As for snatching time strips.

Everyone had three strips in their hands, and they could rob others while on the move. Why fear running out of time?

Gu Xiaoxi had already calculated everything.

Soon, she laid in ambush at the entrance of the park.

Afterward, many people arrived, and after finding their military dogs, some set off, while others, like Gu Xiaoxi, waited for companions.

Gu Xiaoxi had just found Ji Xinyu and Jing Haoran when suddenly, at the end of the street, she saw a team dressed in camouflage uniforms rushing towards them.

Her alarm kicking in, she exclaimed, "Run! These people must be here to catch us."

Gu Xiaoxi ran off with the two.

It was too late for the others to wait any longer. They could only look along the way.

No sooner had Gu Xiaoxi left than those hiding in the alleys waiting for companions, harboring a glimmer of hope, were all caught on the spot and mercilessly beaten up.

Those who had just found their military dog fled in panic. Luckily, as long as they kept moving, they wouldn’t be attacked.

Gu Xiaoxi dared not linger any longer and quickly left with Xiao Xiao and the two people they had found.

"Captain, I think our first task is to snatch some time strips," Ji Xinyu said worriedly. "We definitely can’t complete the mission in three days. If we don’t have the time strips, we will be eliminated just the same."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, a sly smile in her eyes, "No rush right now, someone will soon come to us."

They had just blended into the crowd and managed to obtain a few sets of old clothes to wear.

When they were stopped by a group of people.

It was none other than Sack, the captain of the Southern State Country team.

A Sixth Order Magician, he brought his teammate Liu Ming, all of them tall and sturdy, instantly surrounding Gu Xiaoxi and her two companions.

"No need for discussion! Hand over your time strips! If we have to start a fight, I’m not afraid of you," Sack said disdainfully, his gaze looking down on Gu Xiaoxi. Even after her show at the banquet, he didn’t take her seriously.

Because Aili and Dai Qi caused a scene in public, everyone was led by the nose by Gu Xiaoxi. He had no reason to make a move. But now that they had freedom, since they were opponents, he didn’t have to hold back.

Frowning in annoyance, Ji Xinyu retorted, "I think the lesson you learned last time wasn’t enough. Now you’re still looking for trouble! I’m telling you, wisely leave your time strips and scram. Otherwise, your fate will be the same as that day’s tragic outcome."

Sack suddenly looked up, laughing a few times, his gaze fixed on Gu Xiaoxi, as if he wished he could skin her alive, "Still have the nerve to mention last time! I’ll settle both new and old grudges with you today. Since you won’t hand them over, we’ll have to take action."

Because of Gu Xiaoxi, Southern State Country had suffered a major embarrassment, and they couldn’t bottle up the grudge.

With powerhouses from Dong State, Western State, Southern State, and Northern Zhou, although Southern State Country wasn’t considered a very strong nation, their average income already ranked within the top fifteen globally, surpassing Liuli Country.

What right did she have to say? They weren’t worthy of respect... because they had never respected them, to begin with.

Gu Xiaoxi raised her head, her gaze suddenly cold as she looked at them, "Go ahead, try to snatch if you dare. I’m warning you, you started this. Don’t blame me for not sparing your face."

"Enough talk! You guys deal with those two men, leave this woman to me," Sack ordered the people behind him. He then stretched out his hand without hesitation, clearly intending to use Magic against Gu Xiaoxi straight away.

Jing Haoran pushed Gu Xiaoxi behind him, smiling casually as he stepped forward to block him, "Hey, got an addiction to bullying women, have you? Taking down you clowns by myself is enough. No need for our captain to step in."

"You brat, it looks like you’re tired of living!" Sack glared at him, poised to strike. He had long found this group unbearable.

Today, he was determined to teach them a lesson and let them realize there were always stronger people in the world.
