84: Chapter 84 I'm Going on a Mission

Thomas returned to the cabin and looked at Fan Tianlei and the others who were tied up.

Fan Tianlei and the others had not eaten or drunk for a whole night. Their lips were cracked and their faces were pale, but there was still a very clear look of determination on their faces.

After all, they were soldiers, so how could they easily give in?

"Sigh, why are you putting yourselves through this?"

"If you submit to us, you will have food and drink. Women, cars, everything you could ever want," Thomas said with a smile.

Old Gao spat and said, "Get lost!"

Thomas shook his head slightly. He was just teasing these people; he would never actually recruit them.

Because he knew how loyal the soldiers of the Great Xia were. They loved their motherland too much and would sacrifice everything for the Great Xia. These people were lunatics.

"Connect me to the people from the Southeast Military Region."

"Yes!" A subordinate nodded and began to connect the signal.

The call went through.

Thomas said indifferently, "When will my fifty million US dollars be delivered, hmm?"

The person speaking on the other end was none other than He Zhijun. He said in a deep voice, "Don't be impatient, we are preparing! Fifty million US dollars is not a small sum; it needs time to prepare!"

"Hmph, you had better not try any tricks, otherwise, I will take those nine lives," Thomas snorted coldly.

"Rest assured! We won't," He Zhijun said in a deep voice.

"I want to know the safety status of my nine subordinates!"

Thomas brought the phone in front of Fan Tianlei and said indifferently, "Report to your boss."

Fan Tianlei took a deep breath and roared, "Brigadier General! Don't worry about us. Even if these sons of bitches get the money, they definitely won't let us go. Just send two helicopters over and drop two missiles!"

Thomas's expression did not change. He Zhijun's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Stop saying such foolish things!"

"Just wait, you will live. The Great Xia will not abandon any of its soldiers."

Thomas brought the phone back to his ear and said indifferently, "I emphasize again, do not think about playing any tricks. Understand? If you want to play tricks, there is only one path: death!"

He Zhijun quickly said, "I promise, rest assured."

"Alright, we'll talk once the money is ready." Thomas hung up the phone.

On the shore.

He Zhijun's face was extremely livid. Beside him were Lei Zhan, captain of the Thunderbolt Assault Team, and the deputy captain of Lone Wolf Group A, Gray Wolf Mada.

The expressions of these two were also extremely ugly.

"The distance is too far, at least forty kilometers. In any case, it is impossible to conduct an armed swim!"

"That's right, how can we conduct an armed swim? With a rifle on our bodies, plus the water absorption of our clothes, fifteen kilometers is the limit. Such a long distance..."

He Zhijun said in a deep voice, "What if we let the Marine Corps come? Is it possible?"

Lei Zhan said, "Wolf Head, the people from the Marine Corps have excellent swimming skills, but for such a long distance, it is absolutely impossible. Over forty kilometers, while carrying equipment, how could this be accomplished?"

He Zhijun remained silent. He, of course, knew how difficult it was to accomplish...

"In that case, we only have one solution left."

He Zhijun said with a livid face, "That is—to send someone to deliver the money, and then hide a few people on the speedboat to launch a surprise attack and kill Thomas and the others! But this is too dangerous, and Thomas is very likely to notice."

Lei Zhan and Gray Wolf knew that He Zhijun was right.

But other than this, what other way is there?

Lei Zhan said gravely, "This Thomas is very smart. He drove the ship to a place with an open view, which makes it impossible for us to sneak over by speedboat... And an armed swim is also impossible."

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Hello, Chief!"

He Zhijun was startled. He turned around and found that it was actually Yang Han!

Immediately, He Zhijun, Lei Zhan, and Gray Wolf were all stunned.

"You, what are you doing here?" He Zhijun asked.

"I, under the orders of Chief Gao Shiwei, have come here to execute a mission."

Yang Han gazed into the distance, took out his binoculars to look at the ship in the distance, and his expression darkened.

"At such a long distance, it must be at least over thirty kilometers, right?"

"More! Over forty kilometers!" Lei Zhan said.

"Forty kilometers, huh..." Yang Han's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "My Physical Fitness is currently level 4."

"System, check how many emotion points are left."

"Ding, the host currently has 3200 emotion points remaining."

Yang Han was delighted. So many? It seems that the last time he parachuted, he gained quite a lot of emotion points.

"Upgrade my Physical Fitness to level 9!"

"Ding, upgrade successful. A total of 3000 emotion points were spent. Current remaining emotion points: 200."

As the voice fell, Yang Han's eyes flashed. He felt a change in his body, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In short, his Physical Fitness had reached a terrifying level 9.

What was the concept of level 9 Physical Fitness? Previously, with level 4 Physical Fitness, he could easily crush Old Gao, and a forty-kilometer armed cross-country run was a piece of cake without much fatigue. It was superhuman Physical Fitness.

And now that it had reached level 9, perhaps even a 100-kilometer armed cross-country run would be no problem for him.

Then this forty-kilometer armed swim seemed not so difficult anymore.

"Upgrade my swimming skill to level 2," Yang Han thought to himself.

There were still 200 emotion points left. Unfortunately, he could only upgrade the swimming skill once.

"Ding, current swimming skill is level 2. Remaining emotion points: 100."

Yang Han exhaled. Only 100 emotion points were left, but this time, his Physical Fitness had been directly enhanced to a terrifying degree.

Presumably, after rescuing Fan Tianlei and the others, he would gain another large wave of emotion points.

"You should just watch from the side. This mission will be executed jointly by the Thunderbolt Assault Team and Lone Wolf Group A."

He Zhijun said sternly, "You are just a new recruit. Why would the Commander send you here alone? It's strange."

He Zhijun did not understand. If something could not be done by the Thunderbolt Assault Team and Lone Wolf Group A combined, could a new recruit like him do it?

Indeed, you are very strong and have a rich record of combat achievements, but the situation this time is very complicated.

Hearing He Zhijun's words, Yang Han just smiled and said, "Chief, I came here to execute the order given to me by Commander Gao Shiwei."

"Therefore, except for Commander Gao Shiwei's words, I will not follow anyone else's command."

"And now, I am going to execute the mission."

Yang Han took out his Type 95 rifle, strapped it to his body, and loaded three magazines. Other than that, there was nothing else.

He took off his jacket, leaving only his underwear!

This could reduce the pressure on his swimming.
