Chapter 316 - 316 Zhang Guozhu Is Once Again In Trouble

316 Zhang Guozhu Is Once Again In Trouble

Over ten days later, in the doomsday command center at the capital.

Lin Liye paced around the room, looking troubled.

Zhang Guozhu’s team, which was sent to Africa to rescue Chinese survivors, had been lost in contact for several days.

Logically speaking, Zhang Guozhu was a rank-five Awakened One and the rest of the team were all elites. Even if they encountered any danger, they wouldn’t be completely wiped out…

Did he not even get the opportunity to make a phone call?

“Dad… Captain Lin, don’t worry. Zhang and the rest are very experienced. They will definitely be fine.

“He probably ran into some trouble and can’t contact us for the time being,” a young female soldier with big eyes said.

Her eyes were filled with worry.

“No… I have to go to Africa!

“Zhang’s wife and children are still waiting for him at home. I have to go and bring him back!”

Lin Liye clenched his fists.

Zhang was one of his best soldiers.

The last time he was trapped in the southwest region, he was lucky enough to return, thanks to Wang Ran’s help. This time, when there was a situation in Africa, he went over without hesitation.

If he came back, he must not be allowed to go out to the field again.

“Dad, why don’t you let me go?!

“No matter what, I’m still a rank-five Awakened One. You still have to stay here to guard the capital!”

She had wanted to go out for a long time, but Lin Liye never once agreed to it.

This time, it was a very good opportunity!

“Lin Shuang, don’t mess around!

“Regarding your strength… There’s still room for improvement.

“When you reach rank-six, you may consider field work.”

Lin Liye decisively rejected his daughter’s suggestion.

Although his daughter, Lin Shuang, had the strength of a rank-five Awakened One, she had too little actual combat experience and could not be compared with Zhang Guozhu and the others.

If Zhang Guozhu was in trouble, Lin Shuang was most definitely of no help.

“Captain Lin! There’s news!”

An operator suddenly stood up in excitement.

“It’s the team that’s gone to Africa. They only said two words before they cut off,” the operator said with a serious expression.

Lin Liye’s expression changed.

From the operator’s reaction, the situation did not look good…

“What did they say?” Lin Liye clenched his fist and asked.

“He said…

“Don’t come!”

The operator gritted his teeth.

Although these two words were very simple, the meaning behind them was very obvious.

The team must have encountered something terrifying.

Moreover, they had already given up on waiting for rescue.

They even dissuaded rescue attempts.

One could imagine how difficult it must have been for them to make this call.

“It sounds bad…

“Now, I definitely must go!

“At the very least, I have to bring their bodies back.”

Lin Liye hammered the table, and the marble surface of the table cracked.

“Dad, I’ll go with you!” Lin Shuang said firmly.

“No, you stay here and guard the capital for me,” Lin Liye said and left the command room.

He was going to take his team to Africa immediately.

Not long after, an elite team set off from the airport under Lin Liye’s leadership.

Not long after Lin Liye’s plane took off, a figure secretly snuck into the airport.

It was Lin liye’s daughter, Lin Shuang!

“This plane’s fuel tank is too small, it’s no good. This one…”

Lin Shuang sized up the parked planes.

She planned to secretly follow Lin Liye, hoping to be of some help.

“Lin Shuang! What are you doing here?”

A gentle voice came from behind Lin Shuang.

“Zhao Qi?

“I… I… I’m just taking a look!”

Lin Shuang was a little flustered.

Sneaking away was a violation of discipline. It would be terrible if someone found out.

Zhao Qi was also a rank-five Awakened One. Because his strength had increased very quickly, he had received the attention of the higher-ups and was next in line to be a top elite.

“Are you planning to secretly follow us to Africa and help Captain Lin?”

The corner of Zhao Qi’s mouth curled up slightly.

As the outstanding representative of the younger generation in the capital, Zhao Qi could be said to be the idol of the thousands of girls in the capital.

However, Zhao Qi didn’t like those women.

In his eyes, only Lin Shuang was worthy of him.

Lin Shuang’s appearance alone was enough to stir Zhao Qi up, not to mention that she was the daughter of the government’s God of War, Lin Liye!

If he could take down Lin Shuang, his status would skyrocket. He might even be able to take over the position of God of War in a few years.

Unfortunately, Lin Shuang had always been cold and ignored him.

This made Zhao Qi very depressed.

Which part of him wasn’t worthy of her?

If it were any other woman, they would have pounced on him.

Now seemed to be a good opportunity to get closer to Lin Shuang.

“Zhao Qi, cut the crap. I’m just looking around.”

Lin Shuang argued.

What bad luck.

It seemed that she would have to come again at night when there were not many people around.

“There’s only the two of us here, so let’s be honest.

“You want to go to Africa, right? I’ll go with you,” Zhao Qi said with a smile.

This was a good opportunity to improve his relationship with Lin Shuang.

“You’re not going to report me?”

Lin Shuang was stunned.

Zhao Qi was usually quite inflexible.

Lin Shuang found it odd.

The capital is very well-protected now. Rank-five Awakened Ones like us should go out and gain some experience. Otherwise, our strength will stagnate.

“If we go to Africa, not only could we help Captain Lin’s team, but you can also have the opportunity to participate in actual combat.

“This is such a good opportunity. Why should I report you?”

Zhao Qi laughed.

There was nothing wrong in that statement.

“…Alright then.”

Lin Shuang hesitated for a while before nodding.

It seemed like she had no choice.

Although Zhao Qi was outstanding, Lin Shuang felt weirded out by his approach.

She could not quite put a finger to it.

She could only reluctantly agree.

The two of them picked a plane at the airport and took off secretly before the airport staff could react.

When the plane reached a certain altitude, Lin Shuang heaved a sigh of relief.

She had finally escaped!

“Lin Shuang, don’t worry. I will protect you no matter what kind of danger we encounter.”

Zhao Qi was trying to please her.

If it were any other woman, they would have been extremely touched to hear Zhao Qi say such things.

Unfortunately, Lin Shuang was not an ordinary woman.

She glanced at Zhao Qi, sensing impure intentions.

If it wasn’t for the emergency this time, she wouldn’t be willing to be left alone with Zhao Qi.
