Chapter 973: Deployment
“How is it? I told you that Ye Jian was interesting.” V8 raised his arm and placed it around Pigeon’s shoulder. He smiled until his white teeth appeared like the teeth of a beast in the dark. It was alright when he wasn’t smiling. The moment he smiled, V8 had the fierce aura of a wild beast.
Pigeon’s gaze landed on Ye Jian again. He sized her up and smiled. “She’s indeed interesting.”
“Pigeon is a military band soldier who turned into a Special Forces soldier. When he entered the military, he became a military band soldier after his voice was heard when he sang a song.” Xia Jinyuan noticed that Ye Jian was amazed by Pigeon’s voice so he laughed softly and continued, “He used one year to transfer back to the post he wanted.”

It was indeed incredible. Ye Jian pursed her lips and smiled.
“That’s my dark history. I applied to go to the borders but I dug a pit for myself with my own voice. When I received my military draft, my parents laughed and I cried…” Pigeon was a good talker. He was the assaulter and bomber of the team. Ye Jian didn’t know him but he had heard of her before. Hence, when he spoke to her, it didn’t feel awkward.
Ye Jian had seen the rest of the comrades before and even worked together with them. Thus, when they saw her, they raised their fists and bumped fists with her. They smiled at each other and the sense of familiarity was apparent.
At 5.30 am, the small county was still asleep. The street lamps along the narrow streets were turned on at alternate intervals. It made the small country even more quiet and lonely. It felt as if the night was just starting.
The sound of a truck came from afar. It moved closer to them and broke the silence at the bus station.
“The vehicle is here. Cover up Ye Jian as she enters the vehicle!” Xia Jinyuan raised his hand slightly and the rest of his comrades quickly took their traveling bags. Then, they ran over to the truck after the truck flashed its signal lights three times.
They stumbled as they ran over as if they didn’t sleep. Their speed wasn’t fast either. The driver of the truck cursed softly.
Now, their identities were audacious stowaways who wanted to make money from the war. The driver had seen many people like them. When he saw them coming over, he counted the number of people and took the money Xia Jinyuan passed him. He pointed to the back of the truck and said rudely, “I’ve left some space for the six of you in the middle. Listen, you’re not allowed to move my goods. Do you understand?”
His Chinese was lacking. From his accent, they could tell that he was a local.

The driver, who had a beard, glared at his passengers with what he thought was a fierce look. Then, he snorted lightly.
Until the truck moved again, the driver didn’t realize that there was an additional person on the truck. He moved towards the direction of the Princess Castle before dawn broke.
“Eight of us went for Mission Storm, K7 is held captive and J5 is at the hospital, recovering from his injury. The six of us, with the addition of you, will head to ST.” Xia Jinyuan told Ye Jian the number of members for their previous mission first, Then, he laid out a map and used his fingers to move across the map. “From here, using the Karakoram Highway, we will reach Karachi mountains. There is a border post in the middle. We have to hide from it.”
“After leaving the Karachi mountains, the truck will directly drive on the ice river. It will reach Princess Castle in 30 km. Then, it will enter the Wakhan Corridor.” As Xia Jinyuan pointed out their route, the expressions of the other people were all extremely serious. The Wakhan Corridor was their only path.
“The Wakhan Corridor is approximately 400 km long. The driver will only send us through the 100 km that belongs to China. We have to find our own way to pass through the rest of the 300 km.”
