Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Find the Place

Afterward, the pace was such that even the soldiers executing the mission with Huo Jingrui could barely keep up.

Not to mention Jian Zhenzhu, even Lu Jingming was chasing after them so hard he could barely catch his breath. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

However, Yunyi had no intention of stopping for a rest. This made Si Huaida’s assistant, Guan Xiuyuan, smile.

He liked this girl’s spirit—it was truly satisfying. Jian Zhenzhu had often caused them trouble on usual days, but Lu Jingming was protective of his own people. While Jian Zhenzhu did indeed have some talent in his field, Guan Xiuyuan couldn’t agree with him on other aspects.

When the sky had brightened slightly, Jian Zhenzhu could not hold on any longer. Leaning against a nearby tree, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked breathlessly, "Comrade Huo, how much longer do we need to walk?"

Huo Jingrui did not answer his question but instead looked ahead at Yunyi.

As if sensing something, Yunyi stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Huo Jingrui, who was staring at her. "At this pace, we should get there in another forty-odd minutes. Let’s push a little harder, everyone."

When she said this, not only Jian Zhenzhu’s but even Lu Jingming’s face turned sour. They had been walking all night, and it had been a rough journey.

Jian Zhenzhu looked at Huo Jingrui. "Comrade Huo, can we take a break before we continue? I really can’t hold on anymore."

Huo Jingrui did not immediately agree but instead his gaze swept over to Chuyunyi, who was still facing him.

Seeing that Si Huaida and Guan Xiuyuan, who had not spoken all along, were also thoroughly exhausted, Yunyi then nodded at Huo Jingrui.

Huo Jingrui spoke up, "First squad, on guard. The rest, rest on the spot."

After speaking, he walked over to one of his teammates. "Distribute some of the food we brought. Let everyone replenish some energy during this time."

Each person was given a large steamed bun and was told to take a pickled vegetable stick from the communal lunch box to eat with it.

Jian Zhenzhu complained with disdain, "My hands are this dirty. How can I eat?"

The comrade, who had long found him annoying, replied, "You can choose not to eat."

Lu Jingming frowned as he watched them. He felt somewhat guilty; he had been too protective of Jian Zhenzhu on a daily basis, which hadn’t helped him develop a proper sense of right and wrong.
