Chapter 80 Bold Move (2/2)
Li Ya Lin was speechless.
Lin Yao anxiously grabbed onto Han Xiao's sleeve and said in a hopeful voice, ”Brother Xiao, are you going in with me then?”
”Nah. I won't. This mission is too dange… cough… too simple for me. It is not challenging enough for me!”
You definitely said something fishy there! Lin Yao and Li Ya Lin were screaming in their hearts.
”I shall do it then,” Zhang Wei said.
Han Xiao shook his head again. ”No, you can't. No one else can operate the armored suit. And, you are the team leader.”
”Oh, so you still know that I'm the team leader?” Zhang Wei gave a bitter smile. Ever since the appearance of Han Xiao, he had become a mere figurehead.
There was only one possible candidate left.
”It has been decided that it will be you!” Han Xiao pointed at Lambert.
”…” Lambert.
”Oh my god. I am definitely going to die.” Lin Yao was exasperated.
Lambert slapped the back of Lin Yao's head with an expressionless look as he was unhappy with Lin Yao's attitude at the decision; he made it seem so much worse than choosing Han Xiao.
…
One of the team members drove the truck closer toward Dark Crow Valley so that they didn't need to walk so far, while the rest were busy putting on make-up to disguise the two unlucky souls. They parked the truck right outside the alert zone.
After more than an hour, Lambert and Lin Yao's disguises were completed. They looked exactly like the two captives. After putting on micro-earphones, they held the access cards and entered the Dark Crow Valley base from the side gate.
”Brother Xiao, how concrete is this plan?” Lin Yao asked Han Xiao softly.
”If you dream of its success with sincerity, you will make it.”
Lin Yao felt a clot of blood stuck in his throat as he was made speechless by that answer. He turned to Lambert for more assurance.
”Are you not afraid?” Lin Yao asked Lambert in a quiet voice.
”To accomplish the mission, we must try even if there was only a slight possibility of success,” Lambert said calmly.
”Well said. You seem to be very dedicated to the mission.”
”…” Lambert.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the gate. Lin Yao was so nervous that his jaw was trembling.
”Will we get exposed?”
”The more nervous you appear, the easier it will be for you to be exposed.” Lambert patted Lin Yao's shoulder and reassured him.
Lin Yao took out his access card after he had gathered his senses.
The security guards checked the access cards, and shortly after, they opened the gate for them.
They then walked to the storage room under Han Xiao's instruction. They found the access card reader and successfully opened the secret door using the two captives' access cards. A metal pathway appeared before them.
The pathway was long; it took them ten minutes to reach the inner base.
The defenses were much tighter in the inner base, and many computer screens were seen hung on the walls. The enemy personnel were busy moving supplies and data.
Lambert and Lin Yao looked each other in the eye.
Now, they were really deep inside the enemy's base!
All of a sudden, a screeching alarm was heard in the base, and the lights turned red.
Lin Yao was scared to death as he thought that they had been discovered. Lambert frowned slightly and held onto Lin Yao.
”Calm down. The alarm was not triggered by us,” he said softly.
The personnel in the base were whispering to one another.
”What is happening?”
”Is the enemy invading us?”
Ji Jie walked out calmly and updated everyone, ”Be quiet. Hesla's border troops are advancing toward the base. The military personnel in the outer base have already set up the necessary defenses. They will be able to hold our enemy back long enough for us to get ready to evacuate.
Lin Yao's expression changed, and he whispered anxiously over the radio, ”You guys must leave now!”
