"Ye Luo, rember, after this phone call, even if it’s my words, you have to discern carefully. No matter what kind of command it is, rember to act according to your capabilities, because perhaps so of these commands are actually ant to harm you. Okay, I can’t continue talking to you anymore. Also, your phone is being monitored, so be careful when you speak. Captain Li is my old soldier and can be trusted, but don’t tell anyone what I’ve told you."
"Take care of yourself, I don’t want my grandson to be widowed. Hanging up now!"
After he finished, the call was abruptly disconnected, leaving Ye Luo full of doubts.
Elder Shi’s call had been too hurried and seed full of implications. He had directly conveyed important things to Ye Luo and then imdiately hung up!
It seed that this ti, a colossal conspiracy was indeed enclosing Ye Luo.
However, as the saying goes, "When the soldiers co, block; when the water cos, cover," Ye Luo just took note of it but didn’t pay too much attention.
Because Ye Luo had no clue, even if he paid attention, it would be useless.
Exiting the conference room and eting Captain Li, Ye Luo asked with a smile, "Is this phone line reliable?"
Indeed, Ye Luo couldn’t help but worry; after all, if there were issues with this phone line, Elder Shi might be in danger.
"General, rest assured, this phone line was temporarily set up by our technicians from a regular civilian line abroad. After this use, it will be dismantled, leaving no trace."
Captain Li also answered with a smile.
Ye Luo nodded and didn’t say anything more, proceeding directly to the dical point.
Support arrived quickly; not even ten minutes had passed since Ye Luo and his team had finished fighting before backup arrived.
It was incredibly swift; however, this swiftness was sowhat too coincidental.
Originally, Ye Luo hadn’t planned to get involved in these matters, and since people from the Corpse King Palace had been repelled, Ye Luo had planned to return with Mingyue and Li Jing.
However, a ssage forced Ye Luo to stay.
If it had been a command? Ye Luo wouldn’t have bothered, but this ssage was a plea.
"General, the situation is as follows. The area at the junction between India and our country has been under Indian managent for a long ti. Still, it is mostly inhabited by our people, and their hearts lean toward our country. According to the latest intelligence, many zombies appeared there, identical to those we encountered in Zhamu City. The only difference is that the zombies there gather together but do not actively attack people. Headquarters suspects this to be the zombies’ lair and hopes the General can step in to cooperate with the Indian side to destroy this zombie nest."
Ye Luo looked at the telegram in his hand, his mind was full of doubts.
Less than half an hour ago, Elder Shi’s words were still vivid in his mory, and now, this telegram appeared, which made Ye Luo need to think carefully.
Was it a trap? Or truly a request for support?
But soon, Ye Luo stopped pondering these; whether it was a trap or a conspiracy!
Didn’t Ye Luo also want to find out that massive backstage manipulator?
If it was a trap this ti, then it would be an opportunity to break it. If not, then Ye Luo would have helped others.
So, no matter how, Ye Luo had no reason to refuse this operation.
"Alright, you guys get ready. I’ll be there by tomorrow noon."
"Yes, General!"
Ye Luo nodded, signaling the person to leave, the main reason Ye Luo wanted to wait until tomorrow noon to go, was because of the toxins in Mingyue’s body, which made him uneasy.
Although Ye Luo had already known that the poison wouldn’t harm Mingyue’s life, thinking about Mingyue’s Dantian made Ye Luo’s heart ache.
Especially after talking to Elder Shi over the phone and knowing that Mingyue might have been implicated because of him, Ye Luo was even more worried.
So, Ye Luo had to find a way to heal Mingyue.
With the Dantian destroyed, though Mingyue seed not to show much reaction outwardly, anyone would understand how desperate she was at the mont, thankfully, Li Jing had been by Mingyue’s side, so Mingyue felt slightly better.
At this mont, the two won were chatting in the dical tent when Ye Luo walked in.
"Team leader..."
Mingyue called out to Ye Luo.
But this title made Ye Luo stop in his tracks; this was the first ti Mingyue had called Ye Luo "team leader." It might seem like nothing special, but Ye Luo knew very well that in calling him this, Mingyue probably harbored so grievances!
After all, before this mission had started, Mingyue had tried to contact Ye Luo countless tis, unfortunately, because Ye Luo was in Dragon Pavilion, he didn’t receive the calls.
This ti, the loss of personnel Mingyue brought was devastating; saying that the entire army was wiped out wasn’t an exaggeration. After all, for martial artists, having the Dantian destroyed and martial arts ruined was akin to death in many aspects!
There were even those who would rather die than lose their cultivation!
"Are you blaming ?"
Ye Luo spoke calmly to Mingyue. Mingyue was a very strong woman, but also very vulnerable, and once hurt, it was hard to heal - and of course, this referred to emotional wounds.
At this mont, with Mingyue’s Dantian destroyed, Ye Luo could understand the bitterness in her heart.
"Yes, I am blaming you! I called you countless tis, why didn’t you answer? Why weren’t you there during such an important mission? So many comrades, many of whom I watched grow up, but now, dead or injured..."
Mingyue’s eyes brimd with tears and she began to cry.
Li Jing quickly ca to Mingyue’s side, gently patting her shoulder, trying to comfort her but remained silent.
Since Li Jing had arrived there, she knew that neither Ye Luo nor Mingyue were ordinary people. Now, seeing the two talk, Li Jing chose to remain silent.
Ye Luo let Mingyue cry and vent, knowing that only by crying and scolding could she feel better.
About half an hour passed, and Mingyue’s emotions finally stabilized sowhat.
Then, Ye Luo said to Mingyue, "Don’t worry, have you forgotten who I am? I am the dical Martial God. Your Dantian was destroyed by poison, so naturally, I can detoxify you."
"Is that really true?"
Mingyue suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with hope.
"When have I, Ye Luo, ever spoken falsely? Co, let check your condition?"
