Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 1068 - Smell of Gunpowder

Chapter 1068: Smell of Gunpowder

Fortunately, they knew that Brother Hong and the four other people didn’t carry any guns or ammunition. The most they had were daggers.
They couldn’t follow Brother Hong too closely because they were fishing for the big fish. They hoped that their comrade in front would take care of himself!
After that, Leader Liu kept receiving more and more information. While they were still guessing who the other party was, they weren’t able to find any hints for the next two hours. They didn’t even find anything in the traces their target left behind…
There were no signs of fighting around them. Did this mean that their comrade left alone? Maybe he just left some hints for them because he was passing by. He just wanted to see if the border guards would notice them.
Since he was able to leave the hints and even thought about letting the border guards see them, he had probably guessed the identity of Brother Hong who was wearing prison clothes. After all, would a normal person wear prison clothes?
“There are no more hints? Leader Liu, there’s no signs of a fight around us. He shouldn’t be in any danger.” The scout quickly surveyed their surroundings and came back. He wiped the rainwater off his face and said in a low voice, “He either left or he didn’t plan to leave any more hints.”
Leader Liu pulled his rain hat lower. He glanced at the green world around him and replied, “It’s probably a comrade that’s having his outdoor inferno training. He noticed the situation in front so he decided to remind us. Since there are no signs of fighting, we don’t have to worry about him. Let’s continue moving forward.”
As expected, Ye Jian didn’t continue to follow the five drug dealers. At this moment, she had reached her resting place for the night. Naturally, she wouldn’t follow them.
Also, she felt that the border guards were purposely keeping their distance… In the end, even the sniffer dog stopped barking. It felt as though they purposely allowed the sniffer dog to bark so that Brother Hong and his men would get alerted and run away quickly.
The man-made cave was just wide enough for one person to curl inside and rest. Ye Jian was experienced with camping out at night. She knew what she had to do.
First, she used the rain curtain to block the wind and the rain. Then, she placed the moisture-proof mat on the ground and sprayed some powder at the entrance of the cave to prevent insects from entering. After doing these simple preventive measures, she placed the most important equipment, her sniper rifle, on the inner side and finally managed to fall asleep before 11 pm.
The rain hit the rain curtain. The splattering sound didn’t affect Ye Jian’s sleep. However, she got alerted and woke up soon.
Someone was still walking in the rain. The footsteps were fast but not messy. The person’s breathing was stable too. Ye Jian immediately thought of the border guards she met a while ago.
She calculated the time. They were still half an hour away from Brother Hong and his men.
Indeed, they calculated the time accurately and purposely maintained a half an hour distance.
Ye Jian didn’t interfere with the border guards’ mission anymore. She was sure that they saw the information she left behind. If she left any more information behind, it might make them more confused. Since she had already told them that their target had reinforcement, there was no need to give them any more data.
Ye Jian controlled her sleeping time so that she would only sleep for six hours. At 5 am, she had already packed up. She stepped on the wet floor of the rainforest and started on her journey again.
At 7 am, she reached the designated location. She opened her locator and sent her location to Principal Chen. This was a military-used location. As long as she sent her signal out, Principal Chen would be able to see her location accurately.
Ye Jian drank her first sip of water since she woke up and ate a piece of compact biscuit. She only had 5 minutes of resting time. Then, her slender figure entered the endless rainforest in a blink of an eye.
After walking for approximately 15 km, Ye Jian hugged her sniper rifle and jumped over the bushes at the side like a catapult. She smelled gunpowder as well as the stench of blood!
