Chapter 854: The Road to Retreat
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Everyone fell silent.
Although they were a team of elite soldiers, it was still a few dozen kilometers away. They could indeed travel on foot, but it would take a very long time. Secondly, considering that there were old people like the old man in the team, it was definitely not a wise move to travel a long distance.
“What should we do? Now, we’re in a dilemma.”
He Chenguang came over and whispered to Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan also had a helpless expression.
He knew that even though he was facing many difficulties, he could not afford to delay. He had to make a decision immediately, or else the pursuers would arrive immediately.
Qin Yuan looked at the old man beside him. Although he was not thin, after such a long time of torture, he was also extremely tired. He definitely could not walk another kilometer of the market like them.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan frowned and immediately decided,
“Old sir, I’ll carry you on my back. Don’t worry.”
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
This was a long journey of dozens of kilometers!
Qin Yuan was not joking, right?
Carrying a person weighing more than 100 pounds for dozens of kilometers!
This was something unheard of!
It wasn’t something a normal person could do!
“Captain Qin, are you kidding me? We can take turns carrying it, you don’t have to force yourself.”
He Chenguang also advised.
“I’m not joking.”
“I’m serious.”
Qin Yuan said seriously.
Of course, he knew how difficult it was, but with the system’s skill, he could easily complete this mission.
“It’s too troublesome and a waste of time to take turns memorizing it. Since I said it, I’ll definitely do it well.”
“I used to practice like this often. It’s not the first time. Don’t worry.”
Qin Yuan said with a serious expression.
Seeing him like this, He Chenguang and Geng Hu didn’t say anything else. They knew that he was a person whose words carried the law.
He could only look helplessly at the old man beside him.
The old man’s expression was calm as he pondered. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said,
” I really can’t travel such a long distance with you, but I hope you won’t force yourself. After all, you’ve been traveling with us for so long. Even if you have steel bones, you’ll still be injured. I suggest you take a rest first. It’s not too late to set off later.”
Qin Yuan smiled and said confidently,
” It’s alright. The walk just now was already my rest time.”
The old man’s face showed a trace of surprise, but then he immediately returned to normal.
“Alright, since you’re so determined, I won’t stop you anymore. I believe you.”
Qin Yuan revealed a happy smile.
“Arrange for people to prepare to set off immediately. Take care of the injured and pathologists, and advance in an orderly manner.”
Qin Yuan turned his head and ordered He Chenguang and Geng Hu.
“Yes, sir!”
The deputy generals underground answered in unison.
After that, the logistics company tidied up their luggage and set off in the direction of the station.
Fortunately, before they set off, there were no more pursuers from behind. Everything was safe and sound.
The road ahead was a long and arduous one.
This was undoubtedly a huge test for the people of the logistics company.
Qin Yuan had already gone through an inspection and found out that more than 30% of the soldiers in his team had suffered varying degrees of damage. He was also very uncomfortable.
This was the first time he was leading a group of remnant major generals on a march, so it was not without pressure.
It was even unprecedentedly big. Just now, he had displayed a calm and composed attitude in front of everyone. It was purely a performance of pretending to be calm.
This was because there was an unknown fear in front of them, which gave them the greatest pressure.
Qin Yuan carried the old man on his back and walked slowly. This was not difficult for him. His speed was even faster than some soldiers with injured hands.
“Captain Qin, your speed is amazing! You guys also experienced a fierce battle just now, right? Just how much energy is hidden in your body!”
Geng Hu walked over and said.
Qin Yuan smiled and looked around. He pointed at a small pool in the distance and let Geng Hu understand it himself.
“Pool? What does that mean?”
Geng Hu scratched his head in confusion.
Qin Yuan was still smiling.
“Think about it yourself.”
As he spoke, he strode forward.
Geng Hu was left alone in a daze.
He Chenguang walked up from behind and patted his shoulder.
“See if there’s much water in that pond.”
“More.”
Geng Hu replied.
“That’s right.”
He Chenguang also strode forward.
Geng Hu slowly reacted.
“Ah, it means Captain Qin Yuan’s remaining energy!”
“It’s really like the sea, inexhaustible! It’s too profound!”
Geng Hu exclaimed.
The road ahead was not simple. Compared to the environment at Daybreak’s main entrance, this place was even more difficult.
The road was rugged and the visibility was particularly low.
This caused them some unexpected trouble.
This was because some soldiers had never adapted to such an environment, and they developed some particularly obvious resistance.
“Captain! Why is it so dark here! Don’t we have lights? Why didn’t you open it!”
