Chapter 369: Chapter 365: Infiltrating the Island

Atop the island, in a villa nestled among the lush trees, Zhu Hong sat on a leather sofa made in Italy, holding a glass of red wine, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze tinged with a hint of fishiness, his expression one of intoxication.

"Mr. Zhu." At this moment, a suit-clad bodyguard strode forward, carrying a tablet computer in his hand.

Without even lifting his eyelids, Zhu Hong asked, "Is it confirmed?"

"Take a look." The bodyguard handed over the tablet to Zhu Hong and pressed the play button.

"We have just received news that the driver involved in the airport accident has died after unsuccessful resuscitation efforts. According to announcements from the airport authorities, this incident has not affected airport operations. The airline has also stated that it will strengthen security measures at the airport to prevent similar incidents..."

"Mr. Zhu, this was the news released this morning," said the bodyguard in a suit.

"Finally dead, now I can rest easy," Zhu Hong said with a smile, lifting the wine glass for a sip, "By the way! Hasn’t Mr. Yun arrived yet?"

"He’s boarded the plane; there are about four or five hours left in the journey."

"Very well, I’m going to rest for a bit, remind me when Mr. Yun arrives."

...

At this time, hundreds of meters off the island’s shore, two motorboats trailed one another, moving slowly forward.

As they entered the minefield, Hu Fei handed over control of the motorboat to Kaelina. Piloting the boat at the slowest speed, Kaelina approached the island.

The group watched the pitch-black waters around them, daring not to breathe too heavily for fear of affecting Kaelina. According to her, there was a hidden safe passage amongst the mines that led directly to the island. After her training, she was sent off the island via this safe passage.

However, so many years had passed, and Ling Chen was worried not knowing if Kaelina’s memory held up. A single slip-up could spell death for them all.

In the end, Ling Chen’s worries proved unnecessary. After more than ten minutes of tension and anxiety, the two motorboats successfully passed through the minefield and reached the shore of the island.

After docking the motorboats, Ling Chen and Hu Fei gathered some branches and leaves to conceal them onshore to avoid detection.

Checking the time, it was 1 a.m., close to their expected arrival. Before departing, Ling Chen had briefed everyone on the plan: they must find their people and leave the island before dawn. If they hadn’t completed the mission by daylight, their danger would increase significantly, fully exposed to the enemy’s eyes.

For now, they had no idea how many people were on the island and had to proceed with caution.

"Come, pick what you need."

Hu Fei, carrying two waterproof bags, threw them in front of the group. As he opened a bag, Ling Chen was taken aback. That chubby guy was quite generous, bringing along so much equipment.

Qiu Yong and the others glanced over but did not move. They were from the Martial Arts community, relying on their own skills, and had no interest in modern weaponry. Kaelina unceremoniously picked a sleek pistol, loaded it, and fastened it to her waist.

Ling Chen rummaged through and randomly selected a few pieces of light equipment for self-defense.

Seeing that the group wasn’t particularly interested in his arsenal, Hu Fei was unfazed, flamboyantly donning his bulletproof vest, helmet with night vision goggles, slinging a sniper rifle over his back, and carrying an assault rifle, with his legs and waist laden with ammunition and explosive weapons, making himself look like a walking armory.

Ling Chen couldn’t help asking, "Fatty, aren’t you tired?"

"These are life-saving things, I have to carry them even if it’s tiring."

"Alright, let’s not waste time," Kaelina urged. "Further ahead, about a hundred meters or so, is the base of the Broken Teeth Training Camp. There are watchtowers and barbed wire nearby. Let’s take out the sentries first, then we’ll infiltrate."

Ling Chen responded, "Okay."

Immediately, the group followed Kaelina, swiftly moving through the dense forest. Before long, they were stopped in their tracks by a barrier of barbed wire two persons high.

Kaelina squatted down, her gaze sweeping around as she pointed at a watchtower located ten meters away from the electric fence. Ling Chen looked up to see two sentries on the watchtower more than ten meters high, monitoring the movements around them.

"Fatty." Ling Chen made a hand signal to Hu Fei, indicating for him to pass over the sniper rifle.

However, as soon as he spoke, there were two whooshing sounds from behind. Zhang Zhongfeng drew his bow and rapidly fired two arrows. By the time Ling Chen reacted, the two sentries on the watchtower had already fallen to the ground, each with an arrow piercing through the center of their forehead.

Witnessing Zhang Zhongfeng’s skill, both Hu Fei and Kaelina were stunned.

This is too incredible!

Without hesitation, Ling Chen immediately took out pliers to cut a half-meter-long opening in the barbed wire. As everyone infiltrated the training camp one after another, Kaelina patted Hu Fei’s shoulder and pointed to the watchtower they had just dealt with: "You go up. They check in every five minutes. If no one responds, they’ll definitely get suspicious."

Hu Fei nodded and, without a word, moved his hefty body swiftly to the bottom of the watchtower and hurried up the wooden ladder.

After a few climbs, there was a crisp snap, and the spot where Hu Fei stepped broke away abruptly. Fortunately, Hu Fei reacted quickly and managed to firmly grasp the horizontal bar above, avoiding a fall.

Catching his breath, Hu Fei turned to look at the tension on the faces of the team, gave a smile and flashed a scissors hand sign, then continued climbing upward.

Ling Chen wiped the cold sweat from his brow. This dead fatty, already heavy, was carrying so much gear, how could the wooden ladder support his weight?

After Hu Fei was in position, Kaelina pointed to a dilapidated five-story building not far away and said, "That’s the barracks of Broken Teeth Training Camp where all the trainees stay. I estimate there might be two to three hundred people."

"That many?" Ling Chen was astonished.

"There are many people, but less than three or four will survive in the end." A simple sentence laid bare the cruelty of Broken Teeth Training Camp.

"Where do you think Wanqing could be held?"

"It’s hard to say. The Broken Teeth Training Camp has a prison; maybe we should look there?"

Ling Chen thought for a moment, then said, "We’re short on time; let’s split up. I’ll go to the prison, and you take Elder Qiu and the others to look elsewhere."

"Okay, keep in touch at all times."

After Kaelina gave Ling Chen directions, she left with Qiu Yong and others.

Composing himself, Ling Chen took a deep breath and quickly rushed toward the prison. Even though it was late at night, the defense of Broken Teeth Training Camp had not slackened in the slightest, with patrols happening around the clock.

Within a few minutes, Ling Chen successfully evaded the patrol and arrived at the prison Kaelina had mentioned.

The prison was unguarded outside, saving Ling Chen a lot of trouble. Pushing open a rusty iron door, Ling Chen tiptoed into the prison, immediately assailed by a pungent stench.

He covered his nose and slowly walked forward in the dim light illuminating the inside of the prison.

The prison seemed quite old, with damp air, crumbling walls, and the stone floor cracked with countless fissures.

At that moment, a faint sound of pained groaning reached Ling Chen’s ears. He turned to look, only to see a person in tattered clothes imprisoned within a cell made of steel columns.

Approaching the cell, Ling Chen focused his gaze and the dirty, disheveled face became clear before his eyes.

For a moment, his heart was profoundly shaken, his eyes widened in disbelief at the person held captive in the cell.

No, impossible!

How could it be him?
