Chapter 384 – Successful Rescue

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

 The hotel that Wei Xiao Bei resided in was forty-six kilometers away from Island G.

With Wei Xiao Bei's [Driving] skill, a little bit of practice was enough for him to familiarize himself with the speedboat.

In comparison, the speedboat's operations were simpler than a car.

Under his control, the speedboat was not fast, which was as expected of a newbie.

However, as the sun disappeared on the horizon, and as the sea was covered in a veil of darkness, the speedboat's turned off and it quickly moved toward Island G.

While he wandered around he had already pa.s.sed by Island G a few times, checking the situation of the island.

The place was as Steven had described. The only problematic thing was that before he had approached the island, another speedboat came up and warned him.

Perhaps because of the problems caused by the soldiers, he had not been detained.

When he was five kilometers away from the island, Wei Xiao Bei stopped the speedboat and turned off the engine. Then he dived into the water and swam toward Island G.

This was a necessary measure. It was already night time, yet if he had approached the island on the boat he would be immediately detained.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei was slightly worried that the boat might be blown away by the wind. Luckily, the sea was calm even at this time of evening. After dropping the anchor, as long as a storm did not blow it up the s.h.i.+p should be fine.

Naturally, even if the boat had been blown away, he couldn't give up on the current operation.

Whoosh. A splash lightly hit the reef as the breeze blew. There was nothing out of the ordinary.

Wei Xiao Bei came out of the sea and appeared below a precipice.

This was the hardest place to come ash.o.r.e on Island G.

This was why Wei Xiao Bei had chosen the place. It was because the sentry guarding the sh.o.r.es was larger in number compared to here, which only had two sentries.

Naturally, these two sentries were set up by Steven's original battalion. After the entire first barrack had disappeared, the troops that took over the island were rushed and busy, making it hard for them to pay attention to such a place.

The precipice was very steep, especially the bottom part. Although it had been molded into a strange shape by thousands of years of erosion, it was very smooth. If Wei Xiao Bei did not have [Un.o.bstructed Path] he would not be able to climb even ten meters of it.

Even if that was so, he had almost fallen due to the waves splas.h.i.+ng on the precipice while he was running up.

The waves were a bit too strong.

Before he approached the summit, Wei Xiao Bei could smell the familiar scent of tobacco.

There were indeed people on the precipice.

However, the sentry above did not notice Wei Xiao Bei at all. Soon, a glowing red cigarette b.u.t.t fell down the cliff and disappeared through the waves.

Wei Xiao Bei peeked out to look, but he cursed and quickly got back down.

Even if he did so, he was not able to dodge the stream of water that came down as a result of the wind.

In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei's finally dry s.h.i.+rt was once again wet.

When Wei Xiao Bei had peeked, he saw two legs in front of him and the sound of peeing immediately followed.

It appears that after the night sentry threw away the cigarette, he looked at the night sea and could not help but express his heroism. He immediately pulled down his pants and performed the heroic feat of peeing against the wind.

As a result, Wei Xiao Bei's almost dry body had been drenched in urine.

After his body had been showered, Wei Xiao Bei wanted to cut off the person's third leg. If he was not worried that it would alarm the enemy, he would have already done so.

After pus.h.i.+ng down his rage, Wei Xiao Bei perked up his ears to listen attentively.

The two regular sentries did not require Wei Xiao Bei to use his [Response Search].

Very quickly, the sound of footsteps mixed in with the wind.

There was no doubt that there was only one sentry now.

Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate. He jumped up the cliff, rus.h.i.+ng toward the black figure.

The sentry had been crouching down. Since it was not an active battle, he would naturally loosen up. He had been walking back and forth, which had caused him to see a black figure pounce at him. This had startled him as he raised his gun and placed his hand on the trigger.

However, it was already too late. A large hand had clasped his right hand and exerted force, causing the song of bones breaking to echo. Even if the sentry wanted to call for help, he could not do so anymore as the figure's other hand had clasped his throat.

In an instant, the soldier had fainted from lack of oxygen.

Wei Xiao Bei relaxed. If the first sentry had let out a warning fire, then he would have jumped down the cliff to escape.

The amount of strength he had was hard to control. If he was too light, the soldier would have been able to cry out. If he had been too strong, he would have instantly killed the soldier.

However, any bit of mercy could be the cause of failure.

Thus, no matter how much he wanted to not kill people, he still needed to make a move.

Wei Xiao Bei removed his clothes and exchanged them with everything that the sentry was wearing, including the rifle, backpack, and communication device.

If his face was not seen, Wei Xiao Bei would appear like an American soldier.

Afterward, the sentry was woken up by Wei Xiao Bei.

He did not give him the chance to cry out as he pointed a dagger at his throat.

With the threat of death, the sentry gave in quickly. He obediently told him the situation of the barrack.

After knowing that the barrack only had a company of soldiers, Wei Xiao Bei once again put the sentry to sleep with a quick chop.

Based on his understanding of the body, he made sure that the soldier would not wake up until daybreak.

Following the path from the cliff, Wei Xiao Bei quickly moved to the barrack.

Although he was already pretending to be a sentry, he did not dare to just strut in so he continued to move in the guise of the night.

What had startled Wei Xiao Bei was that until he saw the barracks, he had not encountered a single sentry.

It was according to what the previous sentry said.

Which was in fact reasonable.

At this moment, there was only a company of soldiers protecting Island G. A company of soldiers protecting the area an entire battalion was normally in charge of would be under heavy pressure just from positioning the sentries.

The natural solution to the predicament was to remove sentries from unnecessary places.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, a sentry would need to stand for two hours. With twenty-four hours in a day, there needed to be twelve sentries. In other words, a hundred man company could only have eight places with sentries.

Naturally, if it was necessary, they could increase it to sixteen.

However, that was the limit.

Wei Xiao Bei had easily reached the outside of the barrack.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei became much more cautious.

Although Steven had said that there were not many cameras outside the barrack, it did not mean that there were none.

He wasted half an hour to find a place that was not monitored by cameras. Then he jumped up ten meters into the air and over the wall, entering the barracks.

The sentry did not know where Steven and the others were locked up, but he knew where people who came from the top stayed.

For Wei Xiao Bei, knowing this was enough.

The place was a row of white rooms lit under a light.

Compared to the outside, this row of rooms had two day-sentries and two night-sentries guarding it.

This was what stuck out of the place and made it easy for Wei Xiao Bei to find.

There was no doubt that the row of rooms was the place where military intelligence stayed. Wei Xiao Bei would dare to guarantee that Steven and the others were also locked in this place.

After all, having a small number of soldiers protecting two important places was a very hard thing to do.

Thus placing them together with military intelligence made it easy to protect and also save manpower.

After finding the place of their imprisonment, Wei Xiao Bei did not rashly move. He slowly retreated and ran to the places with sentries. After putting the hidden sentries to sleep, he ran back to the barrack.

Compared to the sentries, the soldiers who were watching television and playing cards were much more troublesome. The time it would take to put them to sleep was a lot longer.

After putting the company commander and other officers to sleep, Wei Xiao Bei returned to the row of white rooms and began to clear away the sentries one by one.

Now, the white rooms were completely exposed in front of him.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei activated [Response Search] to look into the rooms.

There were twenty people in all the rooms. Among them, there were sixteen people in bas.e.m.e.nts and four people on the upper floor.

Steven and the others were locked in the bas.e.m.e.nt and the door was protected by three people.

Luckily, they had not been tortured.

If you think about it they had just returned and the military could not make sense of what happened. Thus they had only been locked up.

However, if a certain amount of time pa.s.sed and they remained silent, they might just receive punishment.

It could be said that military intelligence was extremely alert. When Wei Xiao Bei had jumped out from the ventilation shaft, the four people that were reading and writing immediately pulled out their guns at the same time.
