Chapter 122 Part 1

As Shan Ming walked, he studied the radio frequencies. He searched through his equipment but couldn’t find anything that could effectively block it for a short period of time without alerting Shen Yao. This device was causing him a lot of trouble. How would he be able to communicate with others when the time came? Even if he encountered Shen Changze, he would have to rely on handwritten communication.

Shan Ming’s portable locator constantly received satellite positioning information from the signal terminal of that primitive tribe. He adjusted his route based on the updates. Knowing that his location was known to Shen Yao, he couldn’t afford to slack off. He followed the instructions on the locator and continued to move in the designated direction.

After walking for about two hours, Shan Ming discovered several corpses of indigenous people. They had all been mowed down by machine gun fire, and in just a short time, their wounds had become infested with insects. He crouched down and touched the skin of one of the individuals. Despite the influence of the tropical rainforest climate, the surface temperature of the skin remained relatively high. The person’s body heat hadn’t dissipated yet, indicating that they had just recently died.

Continuing forward, he came across the corpse of a Chinese special forces soldier.

This person was lying on the ground with their hands crossed over their chest. They had over a dozen piercing wounds in their chest and abdomen, inflicted by cold weapons. Shan Ming looked up and saw a blood-stained vine hanging from the tree above him. It had been cut by a sharp tool. It seemed that this person had fallen victim to a trap and was suspended in mid-air. After their sacrifice, their comrades must have lowered the body down.

Despite the careful arrangement of the corpse, it couldn’t change the fact that it would eventually be devoured by the creatures of this place, leaving nothing but bones behind. It seemed that there would be no chance for them to ever return to their motherland again.

Shan Ming took out insect repellent from his pocket and sprayed a generous amount on the body. Although it seemed futile as at best it would only preserve the body for a few hours, but if they could win this battle, there might still be a chance to come back and retrieve the remains and bring them back home. Despite the different initial intentions and purposes that brought him and these special forces soldiers to this foreign land, they were all the same. Unless absolutely necessary, they would make every effort to bring their fallen comrades’ bodies back to their hometowns for a proper burial. It was the final act of respect they could offer to them.

In the future, should they die, Shan Ming also hoped that his body wouldn’t be left behind on this sinful battlefield, decaying and rotting away.

Shan Ming was stunned for a moment, abandoning his plan to grab the gun. Instead, he slowly raised both hands above his head and stood up because he recognized this voice.

Shan Ming turned around. Despite wearing a camouflage straw hat and his face painted with mosquito repellent camouflage stripes, Shen Changze still recognized him at a glance.

“Dad!” Shen Changze exclaimed with immense joy, rushing forward and embracing him tightly. He planted a firm kiss on him and said, “Dad, Dad, this is great, you’re okay!”

While saying, “You’re okay too, that’s great,” Shan Ming made a shushing gesture with one finger and pointed to his own ear with the other finger.

Shen Changze moved aside the straw hat and discovered the communication earpiece with eavesdropping functionality in his ear. He looked at Shan Ming with a questioning look and Shan Ming nodded in confirmation.

Shen Changze furrowed his brow, immediately understanding what was going on. He asked, “What about the others? Weren’t you all trapped here? Why are you the only one here?”

“We were attacked by the indigenous people, and our team got scattered.”

Shen Changze cursed under his breath, “We encountered those indigenous people too, they’re savage and ruthless, goddamn.” As he spoke, he took out his phone and typed a few words, showing them to Shan Ming.

The message on the phone read, ‘Ayer is with Tang.’

Shan Ming nodded and replied, “So you guys split up?”

“Yeah, by splitting up, we could divert their attacks and handle them more effectively.”

A voice came through the earpiece, it was Shen Yao’s voice. “No more unnecessary talk. Bring him to my location.”

Shan Ming asked, “Did you prepare a ship? How are we going to leave?”

“We’ll find a way to leave once we reach the seaside. Right now, we need to locate the others as soon as possible. How many people are injured among you guys?”

Shan Ming spoke solemnly, “There’s a lot.” As he spoke, he typed a few words on the phone and showed them to Shen Changze.

The message on the phone read, ‘He threatened me to bring you along. Be careful.’

Shen Changze nodded and said, “Let’s go find those who are injured first. I’ll inform Tang Tingzhi and the others to gather at the designated location.”

Shan Ming replied, “Let’s go.”
