The probing from the border country started from Saluk’s first sentence.

Did he want to know if the Chinese soldiers had just gotten off the plane? Or had they gone around in circles like them?

“Yes, we got off the plane about 20 minutes ago. We’re preparing to go to the primeval forest in the east.” Since the other party wanted to communicate in Chinese, Xia Jinyuan communicated with him in perfect Chinese.

Saluk’s gaze flickered slightly. He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows helplessly as if he had encountered a difficult problem. He said with a troubled expression, “Our destination is the same, but there are no means of transportation. We’re looking for means of transportation to leave, such as helicopters.
“Unfortunately, after looking around, we didn’t find a helicopter at this airport. Xia, we’re probably trapped here. If we continue looking for a helicopter, we’ll only be delayed for a longer time. We should consider driving.

“We calculated the distance just now. It’s about 300 kilometers. We can increase our speed to about 140 miles per hour. This way, we’ll reach our destination in less than two hours.

“Are you interested in teaming up? We can discuss the competition together.

“If I remember correctly, this is your first time participating in the Eka Assault Competition. We’ve already participated in it four times. We can share our experience with you.”

Before they reached their destination, the competition had already started.

Xia Jinyuan had always been able to endure verbal provocations. No matter how angry he was, he wouldn’t show it on his face. He would only retaliate in the same way. He smiled at the commander, who was slightly shorter than him, and said, “The competition had already started the moment we got off the plane. It’s best if we split up. It won’t be good if you get dragged down.”

He said that it wouldn’t be good if they were dragged down by the Chinese. However, in Saluk’s ears, it meant the opposite. It wouldn’t be good if they dragged down the Chinese.

The border country had always claimed to be one of the three great military powers. It was normal for Saluk to misunderstand Xia Jinyuan’s words.

The ‘ideology of a strong country’ had always been the strategic guidance of the border country since the founding of the country. Their ambitions were fully displayed in the foreign policy of the prime minister of the border country. They didn’t want to be in a supporting role. They wanted to be the main character, even in a competition.

After Saluk misunderstood Xia Jinyuan’s intention, he made a prompt decision and immediately stopped suggesting that they go together to test the strength of the Chinese soldiers.

However, he wouldn’t obviously express his thoughts. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and replied, “The competition did indeed start when we got off the plane. However, we don’t know the rules of the competition. To be cautious, it’s better to act separately.

“Xia, thank you for your reminder. If not, I would have led my comrades to make mistakes from the start. In that case, I can only bid you farewell first.”

Saluk left with ‘regrets.’ When facing them, he was still smiling. But when he turned around, his facial expressions became very cold.

Before the border defense special forces soldiers left, their gazes slid past the faces of the Chinese soldiers. Every time they saw Ye Jian, the same smile flashed past their eyes.

It wasn’t a kind smile. It was a faint smile.

Their smiles filled the hearts of every Chinese soldier with coldness.
