CHAPTER 670: CHAPTER 669: FOR THE BOSS (3/5)

Night.

The stars shone brightly.

In the dilapidated courtyard, the Dragon Tooth Squad and Gao Hong’s group were fully armed and ready.

Sun Yue stood in front and said to everyone, "I’ve figured out the patrol schedule. They change shifts every hour, each round patrols four laps, with a two-minute handover time. The frequency is very fast and strict. However, the road is long, and there are gaps in between. I have arranged the route. You must follow me without any delay, or you might be discovered by the enemy. Understand?"

"Understood!" the Dragon Tooth Squad whispered.

Sun Yue looked at Gao Hong’s group, "What about you guys?"

Compared to them, Gao Hong’s seven men appeared quite unprofessional. After all, they had been retired for several years. Bai Lei and Wei Peng had even gained weight, developing potbellies.

"Us?" Gao Hong said awkwardly, glancing at the six people behind him, and quickly added, "We’re fine, absolutely fine! Don’t worry!"

Sun Yue gave Gao Hong a deep look and said solemnly, "Don’t mess up!"

Gao Hong nodded awkwardly.

After all, they came from the same master as the Dragon Tooth Squad, but now the gap was indeed vast, inevitably causing embarrassment.

Sun Yue nodded, glanced at her wristwatch, and waited carefully.

After about ten minutes, Sun Yue checked the time again, walked to the door, quietly opened it, peeked outside, and waved her hand before rushing out first.

Following her were the members of the Dragon Tooth Squad. They ran swiftly, following closely behind Sun Yue with light steps, barely making any sound.

However, at the back, Gao Hong and his group seemed heavier, making dull sounds with their footsteps.

Fortunately, the patrol had already passed by, and the streets were empty, so no one noticed them.

Li Muyang, left in the courtyard, quickly closed the gate.

Soon, they arrived in another alleyway.

Sun Yue made a gesture for them to wait here.

Sun Yue went to the other end of the alley, waiting for the enemy patrol to leave.

Soon, the team moved on, and Sun Yue signaled them, quickly rushing forward.

For the next segment, they almost sprinted all the way.

According to Sun Yue’s calculations, apart from the initial times where they could slightly mismatch, the following timings were almost identical. At this moment, the patrol had just moved away, leaving a long blank period.

Therefore, Sun Yue had to rush out quickly within this blank period. Otherwise, they would have to hide in a corner for another hour and a half, waiting for the next shift to leave.

Their speed was extremely fast, easily achieved by the Dragon Tooth Squad, but somewhat challenging for Gao Hong’s group.

Only Gao Hong could barely keep up; Gao Hong and his group were gradually lagging behind.

After all, their speed was too fast.

How fast exactly?

They needed to run quickly from the county town to the northern part of the city, a great distance, within a maximum of thirty minutes. However, the patrol’s speed was unstable, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, so they essentially had only about twenty minutes.

Therefore, to reach the northern city in such a short time, their speed was near that of a hundred-meter dash during a race.

If one were to maintain such speed briefly, those with good stamina could manage. But to sustain it for so long was challenging for many people.

Gao Hong’s group had long neglected their training and couldn’t keep up physically.

No matter how good a disciple is, once you abandon them, it’s not easy to pick up again.

Sun Yue sped ahead, just about to get out.

At this moment, a shout came from behind, "Who! What are you doing!"

She turned back and saw that Gao Hong, far behind, had already been spotted.

"Not good!" Sun Yue’s expression changed as she looked ahead. There were still guards at the intersection. Now every intersection was blocked, and all roads were patrolled. Once discovered, it would mean full exposure and facing a large group of enemies.

Now, even Sun Yue was anxious.

Jian Feng charged up, saying deeply, "Accelerate! Enter the forest, hide!"

At critical moments, the true commander needs to give orders.

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed into the forest ahead.

Sun Yue gave Gao Hong a deep look and also charged in.

Noticing this, Gao Hong shouted to the people behind him, "Quick!"

The group with Gao Hong gritted their teeth and, with veins bulging on their faces, used their last bit of strength to sprint.

Luckily, the patrol team was still on the other side of the road and would take some time to catch up.

By the time they arrived, Gao Hong’s group had already dashed into the forest.

In the forest, the Dragon Tooth Squad was as free as Jiao Long in the sea.

Forest combat was their domain.

Originally, to train them for the most complex combat scenarios, Yang Chen had primarily drilled them in jungle warfare. Moreover, during their time on Lijia Continent, they often engaged in jungle warfare with the enemy, so the forest to them was like a shooting range.

To them, the enemy was the target!

After gathering everyone, Jian Feng frowned at the panting Gao Hong group and said solemnly, "I don’t have time to say anything else. The enemy has caught up. We don’t have the time to fight them. We must quickly reach Nietai Mountain to prevent any mishap! If you can keep up, do so. If not, find a place to hide! We don’t have time to help anyone; falling behind means death!"

Gao Hong quickly said, "Don’t worry, we definitely..."

"Mastiff, Da Lei, you cover the rear, erase traces, don’t expose yourselves, keep up with the team!" Jian Feng ignored Gao Hong and immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Mastiff and Da Lei responded solemnly.

"Move out!" Jian Feng commanded, charging ahead.

The Dragon Tooth Squad quickly followed, Mastiff and Da Lei already beginning to clear trails and create diversions to confuse the enemy.

The Dragon Tooth Squad executed all of this seamlessly. Their obedience to orders was clearly that of a well-trained unit, and after such prolonged running with so much equipment, it was shocking how they weren’t even out of breath.

In contrast, Gao Hong’s group, except for him, was sweating profusely and almost on the verge of collapse.

Sun Yue glanced at them and said solemnly, "If you’re here to help Yang Chen, catch up quickly. If you’re here to mess things up and let the enemy catch us, just stop now!"

After speaking, Sun Yue also hurried forward, following the lead traces, and careful not to create new ones.

Hearing Sun Yue’s words, Gao Hong’s group clenched their fists.

Gao Hong said gravely, "Brothers, are we here to be a burden?"

"No!" the group responded solemnly.

"Then keep up!" Gao Hong shouted angrily, quickly speeding up.

Gao Hong clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, "For the boss!"

The others also clenched their fists, gritting their teeth as they caught up, saying lowly, "For the boss, go all out!"
