Chapter 686: Chapter 685: But Follow Me
After the genetic liquid medicine was injected into Yang Fei’s body, although there was no one on the plane who was proficient in medical theory, they could still detect that Yang Fei’s pulse and heartbeat had stabilized significantly.
General Hu Lizhong relaxed and said, "As long as Brother Yang wakes up, he will be able to quickly tend to his injuries."
Qin Yanyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that as long as Yang Fei woke up, she could assist him in managing his injuries and speed up his recovery.
Thinking about assisting him in healing, Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but give the unconscious Yang Fei a scornful glance.
No, she definitely couldn’t help him heal; otherwise, he would think she couldn’t let go of him.
Ten minutes later, bursts of explosion sounds suddenly came from ahead.
Occasionally, intense flashes of light appeared.
The hearts of everyone on the plane sank.
They had indeed encountered an interception.
Only the Central Battle Zone could have arrived this quickly here.
"Minister, there’s a situation up ahead," Xiang Yunfei reported.
Qin Yanyang hummed in acknowledgment and after a brief contemplation, said, "Switch to traveling on foot, let’s get closer and have a look."
Xiang Yunfei nodded, lowering the altitude of the plane as more than ten people directly jumped out from dozens of meters in the air, landing safely with the help of the large trees below.
Xiang Yunfei couldn’t find a suitable landing spot and had no choice but to abandon the helicopter and jump down.
A moment later, the out-of-control helicopter crashed into the dense forest below, coming to a halt after a violent noise without exploding.
General Hu Lizhong was carrying Yang Fei on his back, and when he looked for a rope to tie him up, Qin Yanyang stopped him.
General Hu Lizhong said, "Minister Qin, rest assured, Brother Yang has granted me a new lease on life, and in today’s breakout, I, Hu Lizhong, will definitely not leave him behind. If I can make it out alive, Brother Yang surely will too."
Qin Yanyang spoke indifferently, "When necessary, I will personally take him with me."
General Hu Lizhong was startled but then understood, cleared his throat, and nodded, "Indeed, with Minister Qin personally escorting Brother Yang, our chances of breaking through are greater."
Though he said as much, Old Hu couldn’t help but feel speechless inside.
So, you’re worried that my strength isn’t sufficient to break through and I might impede your husband, right?
I’d actually prefer that.
Without any burden, relying on my own abilities, escaping through these mountains and rivers isn’t difficult.
"Minister, rest assured, if it comes to that, I, Old Hu, will even stake my life to cover your and Brother Yang’s retreat and protect you both," General Hu Lizhong said again.
He was now tied to the Qin Family’s battleship, and if not now, when would he show his heartfelt dedication?
As long as Brother Yang didn’t die and he followed him, he was certain to rise to great heights in the future. Showing loyalty now meant that once Brother Yang woke up and learned of his actions, he would surely be considered a trusted confidant.
"Speed up our advance, let’s see if the main force has evacuated safely," Qin Yanyang ordered.
All were elite troops of the Military Department, and though they were moving through the forest, their speed was not slow.
The sounds of intense combat grew louder and soon, they could see helicopters engaged in a firefight above a valley.
Although the Military Department was well-equipped, the forces from the Central Battle Zone were even more prepared and held an overwhelming numerical advantage. Not only that, but the enemy was advancing from both the air and ground, encircling them from all sides.
The enemy troops, arranged in a fan formation, quickly closed in, constantly reinforcing the engagement point.
The Military Department’s breakout forces were trapped in a brutal encirclement.
By the time Qin Yanyang and her group arrived, all the military aircraft on their side had been destroyed, and they had switched to retreating through the ground jungle.
However, the enemy’s encirclement was still relentless, and with the support of airborne troops as well, the Military Department suffered heavy losses.
Even though each of them were battle-hardened warriors, equipped with special weapons and the strongest bulletproof gear, facing an enemy that outnumbered them by more than tenfold, it was extremely difficult for the Military Department’s forces to break out of the encirclement.
What was most terrifying was that among the enemies, there were many Martial Arts experts mixed in.
The prowess of these individuals was at the Innate Realm.
If not for the well-equipped Military Department, whose special weapons had lethal effects and posed threats to those at the Innate Realm, they would have likely been suppressed already.
"Minister, you take Brother Yang and leave first, we’ll go and support the main force," Hu Lizhong said with a grave expression as he observed the battle unfolding ahead.
Xiang Yunfei, Peng Ling, and the others nodded in agreement, approving Hu Lizhong’s decision.
After all, they hadn’t been discovered by the enemy yet. With their abilities, as long as they chose the right direction, they could take advantage of the intense crossfire ahead to draw the attention of most of the enemy, then, with the cover of the dense jungle, there was a great chance they could quietly break out of the enemy encirclement.
Qin Yanyang shook her head decisively. Her gaze swept across everyone’s faces, and finally, she said to Hu Lizhong, "Old Hu, you take him and leave first. Once you’re out, adapt to the situation."
Hu Lizhong urgently retorted, "That’s not acceptable. You have a special status, Minister; you must be the first to leave."
Xiang Yunfei also said, "That’s right, Minister, you should leave first."
Qin Yanyang reprimanded softly, "Shut up, this is an order."
Hu Lizhong wanted to argue, but a chill struck his heart. He was overwhelmed by the imposing aura of Qin Yanyang, and given her higher rank, he couldn’t talk back.
"Military orders are like mountains, Old Hu. His life is very important; your responsibility is immense, do you understand?" Qin Yanyang stared at Hu Lizhong.
Hu Lizhong felt a dryness in his throat and, meeting Qin Yanyang’s hopeful eyes, nodded emphatically, "Rest assured, Minister Qin, I will ensure Brother Yang’s safety."
After speaking, he lowered his head, lifted Yang Fei on his back, and took off toward a direction free from enemy aerial surveillance, soon disappearing from everyone’s sight.
Qin Yanyang flashed forward, charging toward where the fierce clash was happening: "Follow me!"
A wild fighting spirit radiated out like radiation.
Inspired by Qin Yanyang’s powerful will to fight, Xiang Yunfei and the others were moved. Their blood boiled with a fierce battle spirit, and they followed her one after another.
As elite members of the Military Department, they were first and foremost soldiers.
True soldiers never shy away from battle!
In a military helicopter behind the conflict, Chu Que looked on with an indifferent expression at the battle raging in the valley below, outwardly calm but inwardly tumultuous.
He understood better than anyone what this war signified.
Although the order had come from his own brother, it was he who was executing it.
He was the one to fire the first shot.
No matter how the future unfolded, victory or defeat, he would become a controversial figure in the history of the Divine Continent.
Controversial? He chuckled; that was merely self-comfort.
From the moment the first shot was fired, he was destined to become a historical criminal in the Divine Continent.
But what of it?
As long as they succeeded, the future history would be written by the Chu Family!
With this thought, Chu Que’s eyes flashed with determination as he ordered, "Increase firepower. If they refuse to surrender, then kill them, let none escape."
What a pity.
Such fine elites, wasted in civil strife.
His gaze cold and sharp, he watched the battle zone intently when suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.
An energy cannon blasted from the dense forest ahead, hitting a fighter jet that was facing away from the front.
Brilliant flames shot into the sky.
Boom!
The sound of the violent explosion spread.
Immediately after, several more energy cannons targeted the high skies, all fired from the dense forest directly ahead, ambushing the jets that were relentlessly pursuing the Military Department’s main force.
Chu Que immediately bellowed, "Careful, we have enemy reinforcements from behind. Support teams from both sides, move in. Lock them down!"
