After a flurry of activity, the broke-down locomotive was successfully connected to Section Two’s vehicle.
Noland Lee officially set off on the road to the Narrow Pass.
He released the handbrake and switched to neutral so that the locomotive under him was being towed by Section Two’s locomotive, while scanning the approaching imperial Narrow Pass with a squint.
It was a military fortress built into the mountainside.
The elevation of the military fortress was about 300 meters.
Its main structure was inside the mountain, predominantly consisting of tunnels and underground bunkers that never saw daylight.
Parts of the fortress protruded out of the mountain body, hanging like a bas-relief on the smooth cliff.
To enter the fortress trom the ground level, one must take the elevator.
With the backing of someone from Division Intelligence Unit Two, the guards at the narrow pass barely inspected Noland Lee and let the entire convoy pass.
Noland Lee and his steam locomotive beneath him steadily ascended along with the elevator platform.
Watching the receding ground beneath his feet, Noland Lee sighed with relief.
When the elevator platform ascended to its highest position, it docked on the ground floor of the military fortress.
Noland Lee’s steam locomotive was pulled off the elevator platform by Section
r
Two and parked in a nearby shed.
“Thank you once again, Chief Officer,”
Noland Lee saluted and watched the warm-hearted Military Intelligence Section Two investigator leave.
He lifted Ker from the co-pilot’s seat, draped him over his shoulder, and dragged him towards the vehicle escorting criminal soldiers.
The guards of the convoy were counting the criminal soldiers in the vehicle along with the soldiers at the narrow pass.
The captain of the convoy saw Noland Lee, waving his hand and shouting:
“Isa! Ker! You’re here.’
“Captain, you guys are just too unkind! You left me and Ker on the road. If we hadn’t met a kind-hearted investigator from Military Intelligence Section Two, we might still be eating dust on the road…”
Noland Lee mimicked Isa’s tone and grumbled incessantly.
While speaking, he carefully observed the captain standing in front of him.
Seeing that he didn’t realize that he was an imposter, Noland Lee’s tension eased considerably.
“It was all for completing the delivery task on time, Isa. Now enough of the complaints. Has Ker woken up?…Still unconscious, huh? Well then, he’ll have to be taken to the medical department.”
The captain spoke to a soldier at the narrow pass for a moment.
The soldier called over two team members to carry the unconscious Ker into the medical department.
Without the burden of Ker, Noland felt much lighter.
“Isa, don’t stand idle. Help the guards at the narrow pass escort the criminal soldiers into the prison cell.”
The captain handed a remote control to Noland Lee, urging him:
“Hurry up, don’t make a mistake. These criminal soldiers are urgently needed by the garrison at the narrow pass, you mustn’t let them escape along the way.”
