Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 373 - 373 373 Ambush (Extra Monthly Ticket)

?Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Ambush (Extra Monthly Ticket) Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Ambush (Extra Monthly Ticket) Bai Xiao and his team had received orders, and set out at night with the transporters.

They were to rush to the highlands to rescue the wounded and bring them down.

The morning they received the orders, the mountains were shrouded in heavy fog, and by the afternoon, a drizzle had unexpectedly started.

The incident with the two spies a few days earlier had already left a deep shadow in everyone’s mind.

The deputy director had already specifically changed the code because of this.

The terrain here was quite complicated, not far from the border, especially since the border line was long, it was actually a place where many spies frequented.

Such incidents were probably not the first, and certainly not the last.

Therefore, whether descending the mountain for any purpose, all teammates were extremely vigilant and observed along the way for any suspicious people, because this profound lesson had, indeed, helped to identify some enemy operatives frequently active in the area.

Bai Xiao was given the order to go to the same high ground as last time, first because he had rich experience there, and second, with ten medics and five highlands, there was simply no other way to assign them. The second reason was well understood by everyone; it had been over half a year, and the story of this engaged couple was known throughout the camp. It was seen as an opportunity to meet, though one fraught with dangers that could cost lives at any moment.

Acting alongside the transporters, Bai Xiao himself felt an involuntary surge of spirit, simply at the thought of seeing An Zhiyuan which made him happy. After all, it had been half a year and he could finally meet his dearest once again.

With the fine rain falling, they all wore raincoats, remained silent, and used no flashlights for illumination. No lighting devices were allowed here for fear the enemy would spot them and launch a firepower attack.

Fortunately, the transporters were all battle-hardened. They could navigate the area with their eyes closed, knowing every stone, every blade of grass, every tree.

Bai Xiao and Liu Yun stumbled along their way, often assisted by transporters next to them who helped them to climb mountains and ford streams. At one point, Liu Yun nearly stepped into a ditch beside her, and some areas nearby were cliffs; a fall could be fatal.

As they progressed, they saw several shadows appear in the distance on the hillside.

And they were slowly moving up towards the highlands, initially thinking they were comrades returning from constructing fortifications on the highlands.

Bai Xiao instead shook his head cautiously, “I don’t think so. If they were, they wouldn’t come down the mountain at this late hour. Look at how they sneak around, keep low, and try to find sunken terrain for cover. If it were our own people, would they need to do this? Don’t the people above know how many were sent down the mountain?” he whispered, speaking to the Transport Team leader.

Transport Team leader Hu Biao, having walked this route more than once, saw the sneaky shadows of the opponents. They too harbored suspicions and commanded several transporters, “Prepare for combat, let everyone know to keep quiet, follow them, and wait until we’re close to our comrades on the highlands before starting the fight. This time, let’s prepare a ‘dumpling’ surprise—every time it’s us who are beaten until we’re a mess, let them get a taste of their own medicine this time.”

All the transporters immediately loaded their weapons. They rarely faced direct combat, mostly being on the receiving end of attacks.

If things went as expected this time, they could indeed surprise the enemy.

All of them were immediately excited by the prospect.

Bai Xiao and Liu Yun were escorted in the middle of the team by the comrades from the Transport Team.
