As for the kong River, being akin to the mother river nourishing the land of Southeast Asia, there's no way Qin Fang wouldn't know about it…
The kong River is Asia's most crucial transnational water system, and the world's sixth-largest river, originating within the borders of Dragon Country, flowing southward through various Southeast Asian countries, finally entering the South Sea…
Of course, the na kong River is used outside of Dragon Country, while within Dragon Country, this river is called the Lancang River!
However, Qin Fang rembers that the kong River seems to be inside Anlang Territory only at the estuary, and this location is obviously very far from the estuary.
"Keep moving forward…"
Tang Cheng heard this, but showed no sign, just continued leading the team forward.
Shortly thereafter, Qin Fang and his comrades arrived in front of an incredibly vast river. Among these towering mountains and ridges, this broad river winds and twists like a sinister dragon, exuding an aura of dominance.
Yet…
"Is this the kong River?"
Qin Fang couldn't help but frown; the river before him seed sowhat different from his impression of the kong River— the water surface seed too small.
It's important to note that the kong River is the world's sixth-largest river, and Dragon Country's Yellow River is the world's fifth-largest river. Qin Fang has seen the Yellow River, and although it's not as overwhelmingly majestic as it once was, its water surface is still far more imposing than this river...
Not to ntion, the Yangtze River beside Ninghai, the world's third-largest river, could easily eclipse this river hundreds of tis…
"This is only a tributary of the kong River…"
Seeing Qin Fang's clearly disappointed expression, Tang Cheng seed to have guessed his thoughts, imdiately chuckling beside him.
"Ugh…"
Qin Fang was montarily speechless. No wonder this river seed small; it turns out this already relatively large river is rely a tributary of the kong River.
Like Jialing River before it rges into the Yangtze River, it naturally has its own na, but Qin Fang and his companions were outsiders, hence they understandably didn't know what it's called.
However, since it's a tributary of the kong River, calling it the kong River isn't exactly wrong either…
Yet…
"Should we cross the river?"
Qin Fang suddenly asked with so doubt.
He noticed Tang Cheng didn't turn away even when this river obstructed their path but planned to keep moving forward, hence the inquiry.
"No crossing the river… the place on the other side is too close to the Golden Triangle! Our identities are too sensitive to go over…"
However, Tang Cheng shook his head, denying Qin Fang's question.
Simultaneously, he nad the place on the opposite side, causing Qin Fang's eyes to flicker instantly.
The Golden Triangle, renowned worldwide.
It's not only one of the world's largest drug hubs, but also known as the capital of cri, the only area in the Underground World openly displayed.
The Golden Triangle is very chaotic; warlords each maintain their regional power, like local emperors, with even neighboring countries' governnts turning a blind eye, pretending it's not part of their territory...
An unknown major warlord of the Golden Triangle once boasted that it's so powerful that even neighboring countries united couldn't capture it…
This isn't entirely bragging; attempts have been made by neighboring nations, but as soon as actions begun, dostic revolts and military coups surged ahead...
Or inexplicably, so political figures died, quickly shelving the plan… Who did it remains unclear, but anyone astute knows what's happening.
Over ti, no one bothered with this no man's land anymore. With warlords in control, unable to govern or influence it, they simply abandoned efforts.
And Qin Fang, being from the Underground World, naturally knows more about this land.
The Golden Triangle is quite complex; though ruled by warlords, each has vested interest groups backing them, often mysteriously linked to Underground World forces.
Many covet the Golden Triangle, but attempting to move against it is like poking a hornet's nest— utterly thankless.
Tang Cheng and his team are soldiers, active duty in Dragon Country's military; appearing in the Golden Triangle without due cause is highly inappropriate…
First, they have another mission they're ant to fulfill, second, it's very unsafe— especially considering their identities…
They are supposed to face rcenaries, mbers of the rcenary Alliance—a part of the Underground World. If confronted, they would suffer greatly.
They're already outnumbered, and compromised identities make mission completion difficult. Tang Cheng naturally doesn't wish to lead his n across the river.
Bang bang bang bang~~
Just as Qin Fang and his comrades prepared to leave, a burst of dense gunfire suddenly erupted from the river, seeming intensely fierce.
"Go have a look…"
Though Tang Cheng didn't want to ddle, as they pursued these rcenaries without news, hearing gunfire instinctively led him to suspect those rcenaries were involved.
Thus, upon Tang Cheng's command, the squad quickly advanced along the riverbank.
The gunfire wasn't far away; particularly in this mountainous forest, its clarity was striking. They pursued rapidly, and about ten minutes later, they finally saw the gunfire's source on the river.
"It's our Dragon Country's ship…"
The first thing caught sight of was the ships on the river… particularly a transport ship bearing Dragon Country's flag, its direction heading back to Dragon Country.
However, the ship was currently blocked by several small vessels, equipped with machine guns visibly…
"Those small vessels seem to belong to Anlang's military police…"
Mouse frowned and muttered; as a reconnaissance soldier, he was sensitive to such matters, speaking uncertainly, but nearly certainly accurate.
It appeared that the firing was done by those small boats, judging by the distinct bullet holes on the Dragon Country transport ship.
Even…
"Look…"
Qin Fang, with superior vision, imdiately noticed a dark shadow floating on the river, exclaiming and pointing.
His scouting skill had already spotted this shadow; not debris, but a person… or rather, a dead person!
Whether drowned or shot, remained unknown.
Bam~~
Just as they noticed the floating corpse on the river, gunfire from the Dragon Country transport ship echoed again, as a black figure suddenly crashed onto the deck, then plumted into the river…
"He's still alive…"
Unlike the previous deceased body, this one recently shot hadn't fully died yet. Qin Fang noticed he was still alive and imdiately shouted.
"Damn it, those bastards… I'm gonna kill them all!"
Scarface and others shouted furiously, each growling in anger.
Although uncertain if the transport ship was undoubtedly Dragon Country's, it still bore the nation's flag. Its people being shot by Anlang's soldiers and police infuriated these Dragon Country soldiers intolerably.
Soldiers' duty is to protect the holand…
This is Anlang Territory; while not technically defending national borders, seeing compatriots killed requires fulfilling household protective duties regardless.
