Chapter 175 - Viper King’s Fury (1/2)
The X2 combat helicopter did not fly directly back to Happy Paradise Island. The course of events that led to the outcome of this mission completely exceeded the expectations of the group of generals of the military had.
The seasoned soldiers who had experienced an infiltration had yet to make a move. Nearly a hundred recruits, who the military didn’t attach true importance to, actually wiped out all the terrorists on the island in a situation without any heavy firepower.
In addition, the number of terrorists on this island exceeded the number that the military had in their intelligence, which was one hundred. There had been nearly three hundred terrorists in total.
This was a situation where a force of nearly a hundred recruits went to eliminate three hundred excellently armed terrorists. Anyone who was not a fool could guess a price that was paid. One didn’t even need to use his brains to be able to speculate just how many recruits were killed and to what tragic degree.
Practically all the recruits’ bodies sustained injuries, and approximately sixty were dead.
Everyone’s minds were highly focused in this battle, so they didn’t really notice anything wrong with their bodies.
As the recruits sat on the helicopters to leave this nameless island, the enormous feeling of exhaustion immediately assaulted all the recruits. Quite a few people simply crashed to the ground of the helicopter and passed out into sleep.
The doctors who followed closely behind immediately engaged in emergency treatment.
“This one is already dead….”
A doctor passed by Qin Fen and called to Qin Fen’s attention out of kindness.
“….”
Qin Fen raised his head. His gaze was tranquil as he looked at the doctor.
The doctor saw Qin Fen’s grief, and his heart couldn’t help but tremble.
The helicopters flew for much longer than it flew to get to the island to execute the mission in the first place. The helicopters flew for several times the original time before it finally began to descend from the skies.
When the helicopters landed steadily on the ground, a dozen or so large military vehicles immediately arrived at the helicopters’ landing area. Teams after teams of well-trained seasoned soldiers carried loaded firearms and stood to the two sides of the helicopters.
A military transport vehicle slowly sped into the landing area. In the end, it steadily parked by the side of the helicopter where Qin Fen was located.
The door to the black military vehicle slowly opened, and what first appeared was a pair of jet black shiny shoes. The surrounding seasoned soldiers immediately straightened their backs. With eyes of adoration, everyone stared at the person coming out of the vehicle.
The person who came out of the vehicle went straight to the helicopter where Qin Fen was at. He faced Qin Fen, who just got off, and studied him up and down.
As Qin Fen was studied by this person, Qin Fen studied him back all the same.
From his external appearance, this man appeared to be around forty years old. There were some grey patches on his sideburns, and an elite air exuded from up and down his body. Anyone could tell, with a single glance, that this man was an extremely capable and experienced soldier.
It was just that no matter how capable and experienced he looked like, and no matter how iron blooded his aura felt to others, the glow in his eyes was incapable of being completely hidden. It was a gaze that was filled with grief.
“So you’re the last person who Pengster saw?”
The man stood before Qin Fen and slowly open his mouth. Though he clearly asked in a questioning tone, there was a sense of command seeped within that one couldn’t refuse at all.
“Yes.”
Qin Fen hugged Du Zhanpeng and slowly nodded his head.
This middle-aged general before Qin Fen’s eyes had a face that was greatly similar to Du Zhanpeng. Qin Fen was confident that this man was a close relative of Du Zhanpeng.
“Do you know all of his last words, and all that he did, before the end?”
“I know.”
“Good.” The general, who looked to be middle-aged, raised a hand and waved his wrist. “Take him away.”
Without waiting for Qin Fen to respond at all, the two officers behind the general slightly swayed their shoulders. The two arrived by Qin Fen side and each extended five fingers toward Qin Fen’s shoulder.
Comet level?
There was only in this thought that flashed in Qin Fen’s mind, and his shoulders were grabbed by these two officers on the spot. It hadn’t been long ago since he made a breakthrough into the five-star, crossing the wide chasm into the meteor level. However, because he transfused Du Zhanpeng with the purest of true energy, he didn’t have the time to solidify his star level. Qin Fen, who fell back to the four-star peak at this time, was as weak as an infant in front of these comet level experts. He had no ability to resist at all.
“Grandfather Du….”
Xing Wuyi stood behind Qin Fen. With a sway of his body, he stuck himself between Qin Fen and the Viper King Du Hen. He spread his arms out and gently shook his head. “Young Master Du doesn’t want you, sir, to harm this friend of his.”
Du Hen was a bit shorter than Xing Wuyi in terms of stature. He studied Xing Wuyi up and down, but he gave off the feeling of a tall and overbearing fiend looking down on a tiny man.
Those two eyes had been filled with grief just a moment ago, but they suddenly enlarged in this instant! Xing Wuyi felt as if a cargo ship of over ten thousand tons was pressing on his entire world. It was as if his mental world could collapse at any moment.
Those eyes of grief had completely transformed into dense cold killing intent.
“Do you know who you are talking to?” The ice-cold words were squeezed out from between Du Hen’s teeth. “Even your grandfather does not dare to talk to me like this.”
