Chapter 869: A Lesson
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
While the battle here was in full swing, Shan Yue’s five-person team with the mortars had already quietly hidden in Jiang Huai’s nest. A large portion of the people were taken away by Jiang Huai. They wanted to swallow Cang Xin in one go, so there naturally wouldn’t be too many people left in the army to guard it.
And it was precisely because of this that Shan Yue arranged for Chang Ling to divert their attention while she infiltrated the camp.
Under the weak light, seven black shadows quickly flashed past the wall. They were so fast that if one did not stare carefully, they would not be discovered at all.
The seven of them lay dormant in the corner and watched as the patrols passed wave after wave. In a short while, they figured out the interval between shifts. After learning this information, it was easier to carry out the next operation.
Shan Yue memorized all the buildings and numbers in front of her. Then, she waved her hand behind her and called Yu Feng, who was in charge of the backpack. “Open the bag and distribute what’s inside.”
Yu Feng unzipped his backpack. What greeted everyone’s eyes were miniature remote-controlled bombs. There were more than ten of them.
At this moment, everyone roughly understood the purpose of this operation and smiled.
“Everyone, don’t underestimate these miniature bombs. The ratio of gunpowder in them is specially made by me. There are also some things mixed in that can increase the lethality of the explosion. In terms of power, it’s much more powerful than those mortar shells.”
Shan Yue gathered everyone together and said in a voice that only a few people could hear, “Other than the main base camp, there’s one for each house. These 15 miniature bombs are enough to leave Jiang Huai with an unforgettable memory for the rest of his life. Let’s take this opportunity to teach him a lesson. It’s not so easy to reap the benefits.”
“Understood!”
“Start the checklist now. In five minutes, everyone will start moving. After completing the mission, we’ll return to this place and meet up.”
Shan Yue did not forget to remind everyone, “You have to be careful when you take action. Your personal safety is the priority. Logically speaking, a cautious person like Jiang Huai should have prepared a backup plan. Perhaps there’s an ambush hidden in one of the houses that we don’t know about.”
“Don’t worry, Captain. No matter what, we were specially trained by Boss Ye. We won’t make some low-level mistakes…”
“Don’t talk yet.” Before Yu Feng could finish speaking, Shan Yue immediately stopped him and raised her right fist, signaling everyone to stay where they were and not act rashly.
Shan Yue held her breath and took a few steps forward. Her entire movement was smooth and did not make any sound. Her ears twitched slightly, and she had already caught the sound of extremely light footsteps. Moreover, Shan Yue knew very well that this was definitely not a patrolling personnel.
Firstly, it was not time to change shifts yet. Secondly, the sound of footsteps was definitely not the sound of a normal person walking. It had clearly been deliberately covered.
That left only one explanation. The noise she’d made when she’d just given her men their tasks had been detected.
When Shan Yue stuck her head out slightly, she indeed realized that two people were slowly approaching them. However, there was something that attracted Shan Yue’s attention. The two of them were clearly dressed differently from the patrolmen and were also wearing instant communication equipment.
“Hmph.” Shan Yue sneered and muttered to herself, “Jiang Huai, that sly old fox, indeed arranged for people to stay behind in the group. If anyone really dares to attack, the people who stay behind will send out the news immediately. At that time, Jiang Huai will immediately withdraw from Cang Xin and surround the people who ambushed the group. They’ll close the door and hit the dogs.”
However, no matter how good a plan was, it could not escape Shan Yue’s sharp eyes. Her lips curled up slightly, and she already had a solution in her heart.
The most direct and effective way was to get rid of the two people in front of her on the spot, so that they would not have the chance to send a message. The dead would never speak..
