I Told You To Manage The Reserve Unit For Me Instead Of Turning It Into A Special Troop

Chapter 964: Chapter 570: Retreat (Two Chapters in One)

However, Weiwei next to him didn’t seem to share such concerns, and was happily breathing in the fresh air surrounding her.

With a relaxed and comfortable expression on her face, she casually patted the dust off her clothes.

“Finally out! Feels so good!”

Weiwei let out a long sigh of relief.

“Don’t forget our purpose for this time.”

Qin Yuan walked beside her, checking their surroundings while he spoke.

“I know, but we don’t have any clues right now.”

Weiwei frowned and said.

“We’ve already walked through the inside once and didn’t find any people or items related to Geng Hu; maybe he’s not in there.”

“Then why did those soldiers say those words when we went in just now?”

Qin Yuan raised his doubts.

Only then did Weiwei remember this matter, unsure of how to respond and just muttered without speaking.

Qin Yuan wasn’t in the mood to argue with her.

He instead pondered the ins and outs of the situation in his mind.

From the beginning until now, besides the few people they encountered at the entrance to the recycling station, they hadn’t met any other Daybreak soldiers. Was this really the strict guard they mentioned?

To be honest, Qin Yuan had started to doubt the authenticity of this operation in his heart.

If he had been deceived, then the situation became very complex, even terrifying upon closer thought!

That was because the person who had given them this information was Lu Ming from the 2nd platoon of the logistics company!

According to Qin Yuan’s deduction, Lu Ming could very well be a mole within their ranks!

With this thought, Qin Yuan looked around once more.

He confirmed that it truly was a place empty of people.

He immediately took out his walkie-talkie and tried to contact He Chenguang.

But after several calls, there was no response from the other side—only a burst of noisy static from the walkie-talkie.

A premonition of ill fortune slowly rose in his heart.

“Let’s go, we’re heading back to the 2nd platoon of the logistics company.”

Qin Yuan immediately decided to leave with Weiwei and return to the 2nd platoon of the logistics company.

After speaking, Qin Yuan pulled Weiwei and began looking for the way back around them.

“What? Are we not looking for Geng Hu anymore?”

Weiwei expressed her surprise.

“I can’t reach He Chenguang!”

Qin Yuan explained his intent.

“!!”

Weiwei’s face changed, and her voice became panicked.

“Could it be… they intentionally lured us away this time?!”

Qin Yuan nodded expressionlessly.

“Yeah, it’s very likely a strategic deception, luring the tiger away from the mountain. We’ve been duped.”

As he spoke, Qin Yuan surveyed their surroundings and discovered that they were now in a place very far from the main battlefield. For a moment, they could no longer find the way back!

Sweat even started to show on Qin Yuan’s face.

“Where are we now?”

Weiwei also shouted in panic.

Qin Yuan took out the compass he carried with him and started to confirm their current direction.

He placed the compass in front of him; the needle pointed north, while the direction of the 2nd platoon of the logistics company’s camp was east, and Daybreak to the west.

Following this direction, Qin Yuan figured they could make their way toward the 2nd platoon of the logistics company.

The uncertainty was how far they were from the camp of the 2nd platoon of the logistics company.

The path they traveled below was not a straight line and couldn’t serve as a reference for their current distance.

Qin Yuan was very anxious. The inability to reach He Chenguang via walkie-talkie meant that something had definitely gone wrong.

Whether or not they could get back in time was now a major concern.

As they walked, they looked around; the vicinity was covered in dense jungle with no trace of human habitation.

“We were just in Daybreak’s camp, how did we end up in these wild mountains?”

Qin Yuan was helpless but had no other path to take.

Weiwei definitely wouldn’t go back through that tunnel again.

Moreover, it might not be faster than traveling on the surface.

And so, the two of them progressed through the deep forest, with Qin Yuan still carrying Weiwei on his back. The time had reached ten in the morning, and the sun had gradually risen in the sky.

Qin Yuan was very worried, and his pace grew increasingly fast.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally passed through the woods and saw smoke rising into the air ahead.

They knew they had reached a camp.

As for which camp it was, that was still unknown.

“There it is! The camp is ahead!”

After a long journey, Weiwei also shouted excitedly.

“Alright, let’s not make any noise yet, I need to see what the situation is.”

Qin Yuan said as he put down Weiwei. They approached some shrubbery, and Qin Yuan crouched down, took out a pair of binoculars, and began to observe the situation at the camp ahead.

Through the binoculars, Qin Yuan could vaguely see that a fierce battle was ongoing in the camp. The combatants were undoubtedly the 2nd platoon of the logistics company and Daybreak.

Seeing this, a strong sense of unease surged in Qin Yuan’s heart.

The 2nd platoon of the logistics company’s defenses were very weak!

Because those who were strong and robust had gone to the front, leaving behind soldiers who were not as battle-capable!

Some were even wounded!

And most crucially, “the old man” was now among them!

Anxiety was plain on Qin Yuan’s face, and Weiwei quickly perceived the seriousness of the situation as well.

She too showed a deeply frightened expression.

“Our rear has been attacked by the enemy?!”

Qin Yuan silently nodded.

“I’m going back for the rescue right now!”

“You stay here and wait for me, be good.”
