Dire Consequences

"Commander Lu, no one usually comes this way. Why would Ma’am come here?" Ah Si looked around, puzzled.

Lu Hang thought for a moment and said, "She probably went hunting or herb-gathering in the mountains..."

Sensing Lu Hang's worry, Ah Si reassured him, "Commander Lu, the Ma’am’s tough—she can handle herself. She’ll be just fine. Don’t work yourself up!"

"Yeah, Ma’am could wipe the floor with us. How impressive is that!"

They meant to comfort Lu Hang, but he couldn’t shake his worry, especially without knowing whether she was safe...

At this moment, he had to stay calm. Only by staying calm could he find her.

Nothing was more important now than finding Lin Nannan!

...

After eating some pears, Lin Nannan, unaware that Lu Hang was already tracking her, followed when she saw them packing up to continue their journey.

Under the tree where she had hidden, pear cores littered the ground.

Lin Nannan still couldn’t figure out what these people were up to, but when they changed direction, she realized they were targeting the soldiers training in the mountains.

Watching them check their equipment, her stomach tightened with worry.

Those training in the mountains rarely carried weapons, and even if they did, they wouldn’t have many. These men, however, were stone-cold killers, striking to kill.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled a gun from her space, her expression cautious and alert. She dared not get too close, fearing her movements might alert them.

"Something’s off here!" After following them for a while, Lin Nannan frowned inwardly. "How do they know there are soldiers training in the mountains? Maybe I was wrong—perhaps they aren’t targeting them at all, since they’re actively avoiding them now."

This made even less sense when they started descending the mountain.

Keeping her distance, she trailed them and was shocked to discover their destination was actually the camp. The breath froze in her lungs...

What the hell were they after?

Damn it, she should’ve left a message for Lu Hang. If he noticed she hadn’t returned, he’d surely come looking, and she’d at least have backup.

She hadn’t hidden her tracks along the way, hoping someone would notice something amiss and follow. But after all this time, there was no sign of anyone behind her, which worried her sick. If Lu Hang was too busy to return home, she’d be on her own against them.

If she knew where the camp’s hidden sentries were, she could coordinate with them to take down these intruders.

But such details were confidential. She didn’t even know if there were soldiers training in the mountains or sentries stationed ahead...

If these men were allowed to proceed unchecked, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Though their motives remained unclear, a quick mental calculation told her their target was the camp at the foot of the mountain.

Watching them organize their weapons, she even spotted explosives. Her breath hitched. These guys were batshit crazy.

Were they planning to throw bombs into the military camp?

What kind of idiots would provoke an entire unit?

Or perhaps they never intended to return alive!

At this realization, Lin Nannan’s decision was instant.

She couldn’t let them get any closer. If they hit them unprepared, all hell would break loose. Even if they were all eliminated afterward, there’d be no coming back. No way was she letting that happen.
