The mountains here are not generally high, but if one had to measure them with their legs, it would be quite uncomfortable.

Lin Chuan is fairly familiar with the surroundings because this is not his first time here. After getting out of the car, he took a serious look around and confirmed his direction before immediately heading into the forest.

At first, the trees in the forest were not lush, just some scattered pine trees, but as he went deeper, the surrounding trees became more densely leafy, and the fallen leaves on the ground were noticeably thicker.

This place is located where the tropical and subtropical regions meet. Therefore, the rainfall is quite abundant, and the humidity is also heavier. In the forest, there are various mosquitoes, insects, and a variety of poisonous snakes in great numbers.

Lin Chuan wore long clothing and sprayed himself with insect repellent. He sprinted rapidly through the jungle, his speed fast, with his figure flashing by. Even the leafy forest could hardly hinder Lin Chuan's path forward.

The deeper he went, the darker it became, the leaves overhead almost blocking out the light.

Whoosh Whoosh…

Lin Chuan quickly crossed several obstacles on the ground and swiftly passed over a decayed fallen tree. Running in this darkness, driven by the only light in the jungle, Lin Chuan was truly the king of the jungle. He dashed through the jungle at a rapid speed, using his strong and powerful legs to leap through the woods.

An hour later, Lin Chuan had crossed this piece of jungle.

Upon emerging from the jungle, Lin Chuan immediately saw a dense array of tents in the valley. This was one of Wa State's divisions, stationing over three thousand soldiers. Lin Chuan was to penetrate the defense of these three thousand people alone, then rescue Zhao Zhonghai and others from within. This was simply an unbelievable mission. To accomplish this was almost impossible.

Lin Chuan lay on a rock at the mountaintop, looking down from above, squads of soldiers patrolled the valley. Lin Chuan held a bag of compressed beef jerky in his right hand and a binoculars in the other to observe the situation in the valley.

There were a total of two entrances to the valley, one in the east and one in the west, connected exactly by a road that went from east to west. Soldiers were stationed at both entrances checking. So, entering from these entrances was unlikely.

However, Lin Chuan had given up on the normal entry approach; he decided to descend directly from the cliff. However, now was not the best time, as he had to wait until the sky darkened. In this mountain forest, it would darken very quickly, which according to the time, should be around four-thirty to five in the afternoon. So, he still had about two hours to observe the situation on the scene and understand what was happening.

Lin Chuan carefully observed the situation inside the valley, which contains three buildings, each a five-story building, and the rest were military tents used as accommodations. Thus, it was basically determined that Zhao Zhonghai and others must be imprisoned somewhere in one of these three buildings. Only places made of reinforced concrete were suitable for holding people; otherwise, given the capabilities of Zhao Zhonghai and his group, it would be troublesome if they managed to escape.

After lying on the rock for half an hour, Lin Chuan had essentially gotten a clear understanding of the situation inside the valley. He immediately lay on the rock to rest. A short rest to conserve energy. Good physical condition was essential for rescuing Zhao Zhonghai and the others.

It was only when the sun disappeared and the sky gradually darkened that Lin Chuan opened his eyes.

Darkness welcomes the world of assassins. When the night curtain unfolds, it's time for him to act.

Dark Soldier, Dark Wolf.

It's mostly about one word "dark". Darkness established their achievements, darkness deprived the enemy's advantage, and allowed their own strengths to emerge. Lin Chuan was a wolf in the dark. Only when darkness fell could his strength be maximized, and only with the coming of darkness could his fighting spirit be ignited.

Whirr...

Lin Chuan glanced at the sky, immediately put on a dust mask over his face, grabbed a rope with one end secured on a rock and the other end held in his hand. He easily leaned against the cliff face, pushing off with his legs, quickly descending downwards.

When he was about five meters above the ground, Lin Chuan pushed off with his legs, rapidly dropping down.

Splash...

Lin Chuan rolled on the spot and then stood up a few meters away. With his eyes gleaming, Lin Chuan dashed into the darkness. The range of the valley was quite large. No one would expect someone to have descended from that cliff.

In the valley, it was just around dinner time, and the smell of roasting meat spread throughout, which made Lin Chuan, who had been eating dry food all day, feel somewhat hungry. He rapidly rushed forward. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind – to rescue.

In the valley, the jungle was relatively dense, an uninhabited area, so the trees were unattended.

Lin Chuan swiftly passed through the bushes and quickly rushed to the edge of the woods. Just as Lin Chuan was preparing his next move, suddenly, a five-man patrol team was walking towards Lin Chuan's direction. Lin Chuan quickly stepped back a few steps, then hid in a thicket of bushes.

The five soldiers slowly walked into the woods.

"Sit down, sit down."

"Take a rest, I'm dead tired."

Surprisingly, these people were all speaking Chinese, but there was nothing odd about it. The people of Wa State were essentially Hanified Burmese, and the Kokang Army was even descendants of the troops led by General Zhang from the Republic era. They spoke and wrote in Chinese.

"Damn it, my brother died a few days ago."

"Don't even mention it, my own younger brother was killed by them."

A few people sat down on the lawn and then complained, "That damn Chinese drug enforcement team is so powerful."

"Never underestimate the Chinese," someone laughed. "The Han are the most mysterious race in the world, not only populous but among them are outstanding individuals. I've heard that the Chinese have a special forces unit called Dark Soldier, which is said to be extremely formidable. Ordinary people are no match for them."

"Is that so?" Four people laughed: "No matter how powerful, the world looks at the speed of guns."

"Exactly, whoever has the powerful weapons, that's who is truly powerful. Look at why Americans can dominate the world; it's because they have advanced weapons."

The five people sat on the ground, chatting away.

Lin Chuan hid in the bushes, carefully parting the branches to observe the positions of these five people. Two of them had their backs to him. One man faced him, and the other two were at an angle to him. The main problem was the man facing him because any slight movement could draw his attention.

Lin Chuan squinted, inwardly pondering how to defeat the opponents. However, after much thought, he gave up. It wasn't possible to kill all five at once; according to his judgement, he could eliminate three of them quickly, but the remaining two were likely to alert the others. Once alerted, they would shoot and that would surely draw attention from the camp. If that happened, his operation would definitely fail.

Endure!

Lin Chuan clenched his teeth.

However, almost suddenly, the man facing him stood up and walked to a nearby tree, and began to urinate. This reduced any threat from him to Lin Chuan.

Seize the opportunity!

Lin Chuan inwardly shouted. He grabbed his knives and swiftly threw them.

Phuitch...

The knives instantly struck the two soldiers at an angle, and they both collapsed instantly, heavily falling down.

"Uh… what's going on?" The two guys with their backs towards Lin Chuan were startled.

And in that moment of hesitation, Lin Chuan had already rushed over from a distance of five meters.

Crack...

Lin Chuan instantly twisted one of the soldiers' heads.

The other man immediately reacted, but before he could lift his gun, Lin Chuan's hands were already around his neck.

Phuitch!

A punch landed on his neck.

The man's eyes rolled back, and he slowly collapsed. In less than ten seconds, Lin Chuan had eliminated four lives. These four fresh lives immediately became the first killings in Lin Chuan's rescue mission.

"What's happening?" The urinating man zipped up and poked his head out from behind the tree.

Whoosh...

A flash of cold light passed, and the man's eyes widened. Before he could react, the cold light pierced his forehead. He died on the spot without a burial place. The man slowly fell down. Lin Chuan then sat down with a thud.

Killing five people in one breath, and in a short burst, was a great test of physical and mental strength, especially the instant killing of that last soldier. The man was about ten meters away from him, and only a small part of his head was visible from behind the tree. This was a great test of Lin Chuan's throwing knife skills. A slightest error, and this operation could have failed.

Luckily, everything was successful, and luckily he had killed all five people.

Lin Chuan quickly stripped a set of clothes from one of the men, then swiftly hid the five bodies in a bush. Wearing the Wa State Army uniform, Lin Chuan slung a gun over his shoulder and walked boldly out of the woods.

Although he was wearing this attire, Lin Chuan was still somewhat anxious inside, fearing that he might be exposed accidentally.

Luckily, as he moved along the road, no one suspected him.
