Colonel Zhu listened to the soldier's report with furrowed brows. After a moment of silence, he turned around and stopped in front of a military map. This was the military map of the entire city, including the rainforest where the mine was located.
"Where exactly is the car parked?" he asked the soldier.
The soldier pointed out the approximate location where the car was hidden on the military map. Colonel Zhu's eyes flashed with joy. Without waiting for a moment, he entered the tent and asked the soldier to contact the Brotherhood Company that went to rescue the hostages.
After several communications, Colonel Zhu finally got in touch with the Storm Commandos that had already entered the rainforest.
The mine located in the northwest of the city was located in the rainforest. The rainforest was divided into two parts. Fifty-nine percent of the rainforest belonged to Libya and forty-one percent belonged to the neighboring country. It was rich in minerals.
Libya was rich in minerals, forests, and other resources. However, because it was one of the poorest countries, it did not have the ability to develop, mine, and make good use of these resources. The Chinese mining company and the Libyan mining company signed a five-year contract to develop and share the resources together.
When Li Jinnian was talking to Colonel Zhu, the big mermaid pointed at a red sandalwood tree and said to Ye Chien, "Only Libya has such a big red sandalwood tree. Unfortunately, to the Libyan people, this is just a tree. It can't change anything."
Red sandalwood was the world's top furniture material. There was a saying in our country, "An inch of red sandalwood is worth an inch of gold."
After a short rest, Ye Chien used his hands like a fan to fan himself. The air was a little stuffy. After four consecutive days of sunny weather, Ye Chien was soon greeted with a heavy rain. The rainforest was the same.
She raised her head and looked at the red sandalwood tree that required two grown men to hug. This was the first time she saw a red sandalwood tree. If the great mermaid did not point it out to her, she would not have known that she had been so close to the red sandalwood tree. It was said that an inch of red sandalwood was worth an inch of gold.
He touched the rough bark of the tree and sighed softly.
The resources were rich, but because of poverty, they could not make use of them. This allowed the valuable red sandalwood tree to survive. She did not know if it was a blessing or a tragedy.
It seemed like … the tragedy was greater than the blessing.
The big mermaid thought of something. After that, she fell silent.
Three minutes later, Li Jinnian ended the call and spoke to Sea Anemone in a low voice. After another two minutes, the water ghosts received a piece of good news.
There was a hidden truck with a full tank of gas, and with any luck, it would be able to drive through.
Every vehicle in the peacekeeping camp was equipped with a GPS. At present, it seemed that the vehicles were still in place and had not been driven away by the illegal militants or the Libyan residents of the rainforest.
This was good news. Although the car was parked at a place where they had to take a detour, it was better than walking on two legs.
The group of sixteen continued their rapid march. They were sixty-four kilometers away from the mine. The price to pay for such a close distance was that they had to carve out a path in the rainforest. A path that no one else would take after they had walked it.
There was no path at all for the closest distance, and he had to rely on his own two feet to create a path. He went straight through the dense forest where there was no path, and the mosquitoes were as large as mutated species in the rainforest.
The primeval rainforest here was different from the primeval rainforest at the border of Yun Province. Sometimes, the trees in Yun Province's primeval rainforest would reach the sky. Due to the lack of sunlight, there were only very short shrubs on the ground. The pine needles on the ground were thick. As far as the eye could see, there were straight tree trunks with very few shrubs.
But here, there were all kinds of unknown trees that were taller than a person. Between the trees, there were extremely dense shrubs, and within the shrubs, there were also thorny vines that grew and intertwined. With one step … the entire person would disappear.
