Chapter 778 - I Want Him, Dead or Alive!
She was a good fighter, but solo fighting skills do not apply in war.
Huo Chen was mildly shaken. Nevertheless, he made his decision and was about to give the orders when something caught his attention. He yelled, “Spread out and take cover!”
In the distance there was a rocket headed straight toward them.
Huo Chen dropped to the ground, rolled a few meters away and kept Wen He beneath him.
The rocket reached them at that moment and crashed into the ground and exploded!
Boom —
Smoke and dust filled the air due to the explosion.
“Cough cough...” One of the soldiers stood up amidst the chaos and yelled, “Those who’re alive, give me a shout!”
Fortunately, only two out of the ten soldiers were mildly injured. They managed to spread out fast enough to avoid the center of the blast, thanks to Huo Chen’s timely warning. On the other hand, the rocket may have been aimed directly at Huo Chen instead of the center of the squad.
Suddenly, to their great surprise, they realized that Huo Chen and Wen He were not with them.
“Sir!!”
Someone called out just as a few gunshots were heard.
“Retreat!”
“Contact Song Shou and request for backup!”
“Roger!”
They retraced their steps and defended themselves while they awaited for word from Song Shou.
Having been informed that Huo Chen and Wen He were missing, Song Shou put everything aside and assembled all his men to head toward the squad.
As they travelled, they killed enemies here and there who happened to be in the way.
Twenty-four hours later, they arrived at the site of the ambush.
Despite searching the place high and low, Huo Chen and Wen He were nowhere to be found.
The incident was reported back to their home country!
Z Country and other nations were surprised and amazed when Huo Chen exterminated Blood Rose without getting any scratch.
However, things had taken a downturn.
After an emergency meeting in the military, they decided to deploy soldiers from the nearest camp to the Golden Triangle for a rescue mission. Nevertheless, the other three nations opposed the idea.
After all, before Huo Chen led his soldiers into the Golden Triangle, the agreement granted admittance for one thousand soldiers only.
Song Shou and his men had not given up on their search yet. Local forces in the Golden Triangle were also searching desperately for Huo Chen, especially a man called Sha Kang.
He was the biggest drugs and weapons dealer in the Golden Triangle, and also the man who suggested that all the organizations there to join forces against Huo Chen.
However, the plan backfired!
They were tricked by Huo Chen and ended up losing everything they had!
Huo Chen bombed all the armouries and drug manufacturing factories that belonged to Sha Kang and killed many of his men!
Sha Kang would not accept his defeat without a fight.
He ordered for Huo Chen to be found, dead or alive!
...
Everyone was interested in finding Huo Chen, but at that moment, the man in question did not even know where he was.
He was not caught in the blast when the rocket exploded, but the shockwave sent him flying a few meters away.
He was pushed to the edge of a cliff and rolled down the hill along with Wen He.
After a long while of rolling down from the cliff, he fell into a huge river.
The rapid waters carried them far away from where they were first ambushed.
When he woke up, he did not recognize his surroundings.
“Hiss...”
Huo Chen tried to stand up but found that his right leg was broken.
