Chapter 716: Night Raid on the Command Headquarters

An Yinan smiled, "The regions you were initially assigned to were different, right?"

"He is in the West District, the same region where I landed; you two should have met before."

After she finished speaking, Zhang Qian looked at Chen Xun.

Chen Xun nodded, "I met Mo Yunshen before and even fought him. I let him go once, and haven't seen him since."

As he spoke, he seemed to be stating a fact, taking the water from his embrace and handing it to An Yinan.

This biscuit was very dry, but the water sources here were all guarded by people from the Blue Side Command; for them to get water was harder than ascending to heaven.

In other regions, there were specific water supplies, but in the Central District, the water supply was cut off, leaving only biscuits and weapons.

This made every step they took arduous.

"How do you know?" Not to mention, Zhang Qian's Northeast accent was still as thick as ever after all these years.

An Yinan couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, "We have specific communication symbols; when he left a trail marker, I knew."

Chen Xun didn't leave the trail markers for An Yinan to see, but for himself, to make it easier to distinguish directions; it was very easy to get lost in the deep mountains.

But he hadn't expected that Nan Nan would accidentally discover them.

The corners of Chen Xun's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes never leaving An Yinan.

"How shall we act next?" Zhang Qian ate half a biscuit, took a sip of water, and then asked.

"Night raid on the Command Headquarters," An Yinan said.

Chen Xun nodded; the two of them had thought of the same thing.

Previously, Zhang Qian's condition was poor, so he didn't dare to act rashly, but now it seemed his wife already had a plan.

"I'll go this way, I'm responsible for drawing people away."

"Chen Xun, you find a suitable position during the chaos."

"Zhang Qian, you stay in this position; when you see reinforcements coming, fire two shots immediately, then hide at once. Regardless of success or failure, we will gather here at six tomorrow morning." She drew a diagram on the biscuit box.

For safety, the Command Headquarters was backed by a river on one side—the river was deep with a swift current—and backed by a mountain on the other; the mountain was very steep, and it was almost impossible for anyone to come down from it.

"The water side is too cold at night; I'll go draw the people away," Chen Xun said.

An Yinan shook her head, "Xunge, you must know that the environment of the Gun King Special Training is ten or a hundred times more severe than it is now."

"We are facing a life-or-death situation."

"There is no room for letting emotions dictate our actions."

How could she not know what was in Chen Xun's heart? He was a man, her husband, and at any time, he wanted to protect her.

But during the Gun King Special Training, this might be the very reason they would lose their lives.

She was his bottom line.

And wasn't he her bottom line as well?

A reminder now was better than losing their lives because of it during the Gun King Special Training.

"Our team can only have one voice; it can be mine, it can be someone else's, but we must have absolute trust," An Yinan looked at the two of them.

How much the two of them trusted her, she knew.

How much she trusted them, they also knew in their hearts.

But...

They both wanted to protect her, but that would contradict orders; this was something she did not want to see.

Domestically, there was more tolerance.

Once abroad, one wrong step meant losing lives.

The three of them were too prominent; those who wanted to suppress Huaxia would certainly not let this opportunity pass.

She could even imagine their expressions at this moment.

"Fine," Chen Xun nodded. He was someone who lived on the edge of a blade; how could he not understand Nan Nan's thoughts?

It was just that sometimes, protecting someone was an instinct.

It wasn't something one could control.

"I..." Zhang Qian had also wanted to object just now; this couple had taken the two heaviest tasks for themselves, leaving him to keep watch—he couldn't even believe it himself...

But after hearing Nan Nan's words, he instinctively fell silent.

Unconditional trust, time and time again—for An Yinan, it had already become an instinct for him.

"I will obey orders. Whether it is the current training or the future Gun King Special Training, I will obey orders," Zhang Qian gave his promise.

When it came to command, he couldn't compare to Chen Xun.

When it came to being resourceful, he couldn't compare to An Yinan.

These two people were both capable; he just needed to follow them. Being their shadow felt pretty good too.

Chen Xun and An Yinan exchanged a look, and An Yinan said with a smile, "I want to be the main commander this time."

She had her space and material support; she needed specific missions that would allow her to take things out, otherwise, she feared it would arouse suspicion.

Chen Xun knew everything about her, except for two things, which she might never speak of in her entire life.

One was the space.

One was her rebirth.

It wasn't because of a lack of trust, but because wealth and status can tempt the heart. She believed in Chen Xun's character, but she didn't trust herself not to be suspicious.

If someone knew her secret, could she really be at ease?

For others, she didn't know, but for herself, she couldn't!

It was better to simply not let Chen Xun know, to let it remain a permanent secret. If the day came when it had to be revealed, she would not resent whatever choice Chen Xun made.

"Fine," Chen Xun thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

An Yinan looked at the two of them and raised her hand, "This is our first time executing a mission alone as the three of us. I hope..."

Zhang Qian spoke up immediately, "I hope we come back alive."

An Yinan smiled, then shook her head, "No."

"Huh? Dead? Then how are we supposed to come back?" Zhang Qian was stunned; they hadn't even set off yet, had she already made a death-defying resolve?

Seeing his bewildered expression, An Yinan couldn't help but shake her head once more, "I hope we take down the Gun King Special Training, I hope our Huaxia will from now on leave its mark on the Gun King Special Training, so that no one dares to provoke them, no one dares to touch them!"

As she said these words, a rare, gloomy look flashed through her eyes.

Just like...

That bamboo viper.

Zhang Qian couldn't help but click his tongue; let's just say, following Nan really has a future!

His own small goal was just to stay alive.

Nan's goal, however, was to take down the Gun King Special Training; that is just so An Yinan!

"Take down the Gun King Special Training!" Chen Xun placed his hand over An Yinan's, his gaze fixed on her, carrying tiny flickers of light.

Zhang Qian, over on that side, looked at the couple and saw their serious expressions; he knew they weren't joking, and this was truly their goal.

"Haha, let's go for it!"

"Let my name, Zhang Qian, be remembered forever in the Gun King Special Training, forever remembered in the history of Huaxia!" In Zhang Qian's eyes, as if washed by the morning dew, everything hidden within seemed like a dream.

The past will eventually pass; together, they looked forward to the future.

This night was not pitch black; the moon's silver light spilled across the earth, casting a layer of moonlight over flowers, trees, houses, and buildings alike.

The stars twinkled, bright and dim, like the eyes of a child, gentle and cute, yet with a touch of playfulness.

But three restless people had already begun to take action.
