Chapter 197 - 197 196 Some Warmth Is Met With Late Regret

Chapter 197: Chapter 196: Some Warmth Is Met With Late Regret (6) Chapter 197: Chapter 196: Some Warmth Is Met With Late Regret (6) As a legendary figure of the Special Combat Brigade, this time, Tang Zelin’s involvement added a fair amount of curiosity among everyone, especially since Tang Zelin—a man idolized by the group captain of the Wild Wolf Assault Team—was specially approved to join this particular mission, which made it all the more thrilling and fresh for all the team members.

Everyone in the team also knew that one of the main reasons why Tang Zelin came with injuries was to assist in pinpointing and hitting the enemy, dedicated to their former captain, Xue Tong, who had been sacrificed.

The enemy they were facing this time had been confronted by Tang Zelin and Xue Tong together, ten years ago.

Ferocious in nature and shockingly cruel in their methods,

they had not only been notorious abroad but also had stretched their poisonous hands into the inland areas of our country in recent years.

Tang Zelin had never expected Xue Tong to die at their hands, along with other team members. Although they barely triumphed in the last operation, they had also lost three precious Special Combat Soldiers.

And this time, the mission was arduous, fraught with difficulty.

Having already startled the snake, how to lure it out and capture it all in one fell swoop was something everyone was uncertain about.

During these days of covert movement, Tang Zelin had been constantly mulling over ways to successfully eliminate their opponent, Dharma.

Occasionally, the tender face of a young girl would flash through his mind, bringing a touch of warmth.

“Attention, movement at two o’clock!”

With that warning, the Wild Wolf Combat Team entered combat readiness.

The crisis was imminent.

…

B Provincial Military Region.

In the building of the Provincial Military Region, in the office for important affairs.

Tang Husheng was discussing significant matters with various military officers when the door to the office was gently pushed open. Chen Cheng walked in, circled the long round table, and came to whisper in Tang Husheng’s ear.

“Commander, we received a call from Brigadier Meng of the Special Combat Brigade. Xue Tong has been sacrificed, and group captain Tang has been dispatched on an overseas mission.”

Tang Husheng’s expression turned stern, and he asked in a low voice, “When did this happen?”

“A week ago.”

Chen Cheng also didn’t know how to approach the subject.

His son had gone to the front lines without even informing him, and he found out only when the situation was at death’s door.

Tang Husheng’s face darkened, and he couldn’t help cursing, “That damned kid has never given me a day’s peace. With his health in that condition, he still dares to go to the front lines?” He suppressed his anger, “How is his health now? Oh right, didn’t they lock down City C? Instead of staying there properly, he went to avenge Xue Tong?”

After thinking it over, Chen Cheng found a middle-ground explanation, “After the lockdown in City C, the situation has stabilized quite a bit. With Political Commissar Qu Guo’an of the 208th Regiment in charge, group captain Tang was directly taken away by the Special Combat Brigade’s combat aircraft.”

Tang Husheng sat in his chair, deep in thought for a long time before sighing.

“Forget it, let’s wait for news. That kid’s always done what he wants, and my words don’t carry weight now. Help me send some things to Xue Tong’s family; the kid was a good one.”

“Yes, Commander. I’ll go ahead and leave then.”

“Mmm, go ahead.”

The meeting continued, but suddenly Tang Husheng felt as if his hair had turned a few shades whiter in an instant.

Why are other people’s sons so obedient, while his own son is always looking for ways to get to the heavens?

Troublesome.

…

In northern regions during past years, although it was hot in June and July, it wasn’t scorching.

Especially in City C, known for its mountains and rivers surrounded by lush forests, temperatures were always cooler than in other places.

However, this year, as soon as early July arrived,

the weather shifted from cold to warm, and the temperatures began to rise sharply, sizzling the land.

The heat inside the tents was suffocating, the water distribution points were crowded with people, and every slightly cooler spot in the sports hall was packed to capacity.

Within the relief camp, many had already fallen sick with heatstroke, especially vulnerable children. At the medical clinic, the medical staff was too busy to stop for a moment.

Su Shu, looking at Xiao’ai’s face flushed from the heat, thought that if it continued this hot, Xiao’ai would surely fall ill from the heat. She decided to find a secluded place to take Xiao’ai into the “space” to cool off.
