Five minutes later, they arrived at their destination. The helicopter flew at a low altitude, and the team members landed on the ground using ropes.
Si Zhanbei was the last to land. The moment he landed, he asked for a headcount.
Because it was night time, visibility was poor. Moreover, they were in the desert, so they had to be extra careful. Fortunately, everyone was there. Si Zhanbei was relieved and said to everyone, "We're 30 kilometers away from our destination, Greentown. We'll have to travel on foot."
"For safety reasons, we won't rest tonight. We'll travel through the night."
"Understood!" Everyone responded, then quickly gathered together and approached Greentown.
However, to everyone's surprise, they only traveled for about five kilometers before it started raining heavily.
The heavy rain poured down, drenching everyone in an instant.
Moreover, due to the heavy rain, it affected their vision and slowed down their journey. Moreover, the sandy road was difficult to walk on.
Qin Feng saw that they couldn't go on like this. He looked for Si Zhanbei and suggested, "Gu Lang, do you think we should find a place to hide from the rain and wait for it to stop?"
"There's nothing in this desert. Where can we hide from the rain?" Si Zhanbei naturally didn't want everyone to be drenched. However, there was only sand in this desert. There wasn't even a tree, so how could they find a place to hide from the rain?
"I know a place about a kilometer from here. There's a ruin. We should be able to take shelter there," said Qin Feng after some thought.
"Alright, we'll do as you suggested. We'll go to the ruin to hide from the rain."
"Alright!" Qin Feng responded and said to the soldiers, "Everyone, follow me. We'll find a place to hide from the rain."
There was a huge difference in temperature between day and night in the desert. Now that the soldiers were drenched by the rain, it was getting colder. Therefore, when they heard there was a place to hide from the rain, they naturally followed without hesitation.
Qin Feng led the way. He had been here once before, so he was relatively familiar with the place. This way, they didn't need to find a guide anymore.
If it was a normal day, a kilometer of distance would only take a dozen minutes to cover. However, the rain was too heavy, the sky was too dark, and the sand was too deep, making it difficult to walk.
Therefore, the soldiers took less than 20 minutes to cover the short distance of a kilometer.
"Everyone, let's work harder. We'll be there soon." Qin Feng encouraged everyone when he saw that they couldn't walk anymore.
When everyone heard Qin Feng's words, they perked up and walked forward. Si Zhanbei walked beside Sheng Fenghua and supported her from time to time.
Most of her equipment was already on Si Zhanbei's body. Seeing that she was struggling to walk, Si Zhanbei was about to take the gun on her back.
"Zhanbei, there's no need. I can do it myself." Sheng Fenghua shook her head and rejected Si Zhanbei. He had already helped her carry a lot of things, and she didn't want to tire him out.
Sheng Fenghua didn't want to tire Si Zhanbei out, but how could Si Zhanbei be willing to tire his wife out? Therefore, even though Sheng Fenghua refused, he still took her gun without saying a word and carried it on his back.
Hu Dongyang, who was walking at the back, saw that Si Zhanbei was carrying too many things on his back, so he stepped forward and said, "Captain, give me some of these things."
"It's okay, I can carry it. Watch your path carefully."
Seeing that Si Zhanbei was unwilling to give it to him, Hu Dongyang had no choice but to quicken his steps to Sheng Fenghua's side and said, "Sister-in-law, I will protect you from the side."
Si Zhanbei's face instantly darkened when he heard this.
