I Told You To Manage The Reserve Unit For Me Instead Of Turning It Into A Special Troop-Chapter 945 - 560: Disappearance (Two in One)_2

Chapter 945: Chapter 560: Disappearance (Two in One)_2

Qin Yuan learned from the just concluded information exchange that people from the Daybreak Organization’s fifth squad had advanced approximately five hundred meters and were only five hundred meters away from the ambush spot where Geng Hu was hiding.

Qin Yuan immediately communicated this information to Geng Hu who was very confident in his own strength, constantly emphasizing how formidable his military capabilities were and that he was not afraid of the opposing forces.

“You still need to be careful to preserve your combat strength. Even though our goal is to annihilate the enemy, I don’t want our side to suffer too many losses. Remember, measure your capabilities and act accordingly. If it’s not feasible, wait until we arrive to proceed,” he repeatedly instructed.

Qin Yuan cautioned him over and over.

“Understood, how long until you guys arrive?”

Geng Hu inquired.

“We will be there in five minutes.”

Qin Yuan stated truthfully.

He had already calculated that although their two corps had assembled, Qin Yuan still needed to leave a portion of his troops here as a backup force, so the number of people involved in this operation was only about half of their combined strength. However, all were elite troops selected from the two corps.

Thus, their marching speed was quite fast.

They were about one kilometer away from Geng Hu’s location.

Normally, they could arrive in five minutes.

“Okay, we’ll wait here for you. Be sure to bring us some support weapons when you get here,”

Geng Hu said with a laugh.

“Got it, you weapon collector,”

Qin Yuan responded with a laugh.

Afterwards, he hung up and Qin Yuan’s troops continued to march.

It was still a five-minute journey to Geng Hu’s position, but they could not afford to be complacent and had to keep in contact with Geng Hu, especially since the enemy troops were also on the move.

About a minute into their march through the jungle, Qin Yuan once again reached out to Geng Hu via radio.

However, after trying for a long time, he received no response.

This made Qin Yuan feel somewhat uneasy, as Geng Hu had always answered the calls immediately before.

“What’s wrong?”

He Chenguang asked from the side.

Qin Yuan shook his head.

“I don’t know, the radio is ringing through, but we’re not getting any response from him,”

Qin Yuan said gravely.

“I have a bad feeling about this,”

He Chenguang frowned.

Qin Yuan understood his thoughts but did not elaborate.

He was also very worried about Geng Hu’s situation, as suddenly losing contact without any warning was definitely not a good sign.

Anxiety slowly rose in Qin Yuan’s heart.

“Increase the marching speed, arrive at the destination within two minutes!”

Qin Yuan commanded his troops.

Only by doing so could they quickly find out what had happened.

The soldiers, having heard about Geng Hu’s situation from Qin Yuan, increased the 2nd platoon of the logistics company’s marching pace significantly.

Efficient as promised, the team took only two minutes to reach the location previously specified by Geng Hu.

But upon arrival, the scene before them made Qin Yuan gasp in alarm.

Before them, the grassland had ignited into a blazing inferno, and horrifying screams and cries echoed through the air.

“What happened here?!”

Both He Chenguang and the other soldiers expressed their astonishment at the scene.

In just a few short minutes after Qin Yuan and Geng Hu had spoken, such a terrifying event had unfolded, causing immense fear.

Qin Yuan carefully surveyed the scene and found no obvious trace of the 2nd platoon of the logistics company’s soldiers.

“Immediately begin searching the area, see if we can find any clues!”

Qin Yuan shouted loudly.

He knew that every second was precious, potentially affecting the survival of a life.

“Yes!”

The soldiers below responded immediately.

Soon, the main force began entering the forest to search the scene.

The fire was spreading rapidly, preventing the rescue soldiers from entering the scene right away.

They could only listen to the agonizing cries from the sidelines.

“I’ve found a companion!”

A soldier suddenly shouted loudly.

Startled by the shout, Qin Yuan hurried over.

Approaching the soldier, Qin Yuan indeed saw a path leading inside; the fire had not spread there.

From this spot, he could see several people groaning in pain.

A closer look confirmed they were several soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the 2nd platoon of the logistics company!

Some were injured, while others, due to the protection of their comrades, were fortunately unharmed.

Qin Yuan hastily crossed through the sea of fire and entered a small clearing inside.

“How are you guys doing? What happened here?”

Qin Yuan asked with concern.

“Captain Qin Yuan!”

The men were startled to see Qin Yuan.

The men quickly approached Qin Yuan, complaining bitterly.

“It was the Daybreak Organization’s troops! They came and ambushed us!”

The men said with faces ashen.

“You guys, carry the injured comrades back for treatment!”

Qin Yuan said to several soldiers who had followed him.

The men escorted the two injured soldiers back, leaving behind three who were not injured.

“Tell me the whole story, clearly and concisely.”

Qin Yuan said solemnly to the three men.

“It was like this! Right after Captain Qin and Captain Geng Hu finished talking, the enemy launched an attack on us!”

One of the soldiers said.

“They had discovered our location beforehand! Then they launched a fierce attack!”

“By the time we realized what was happening, we found ourselves surrounded!”

“The enemy threw fireballs at us, and this place instantly turned into a sea of fire! Many soldiers were directly burned!”

The soldier’s expression was mournful.

“And Geng Hu?”

Qin Yuan asked.

“We did not see where Captain Geng Hu went either!”

The soldier replied.

“It seems he was captured by the enemy leader!”

Another soldier answered.

Qin Yuan’s expression darkened, he frowned and said:

“Where did the enemy go? Did you see them?”

“How many of our soldiers are left?”

“We don’t know where Captain Geng Hu went. But from what I saw, our men were swallowed up by the sudden blaze! Chances are slim they survived!”

The man said sadly.

A profound grief arose in Qin Yuan’s heart.

This was a strong force they had!

In just a matter of minutes, they were almost entirely wiped out by the enemy!

Such horrendous news!

“Who are they? Which direction did they go?”

Qin Yuan continued to ask.

“The people from Daybreak! They went east! Their troops and weapons are much superior to ours!”

“Hmm, I understand. You all have had a hard time, go back and regroup with the main force, I’ll take care of the rest.”

Qin Yuan nodded to the soldiers.

“Yes!”

The men left the position and returned to the ranks of the 2nd platoon of the logistics company.

Qin Yuan and He Chenguang continued to search the area, looking for any possible survivors.

Although the two soldiers had already condemned the site, without searching every inch, Qin Yuan would not give up any hope.

Qin Yuan and He Chenguang began to search through the fire scene.

Just as the two soldiers had described, the scene was littered with the bodies of the 2nd platoon of the logistics company, with no trace of the enemy found.

It seemed they really had been ambushed by the enemy, but Qin Yuan did not slow his search.

Because he had to find traces of Geng Hu to confirm whether he had truly perished.

After all, the law says, alive you must see the person; dead, the body.

It’s impossible to let Geng Hu just vanish without a trace.

The two continued searching through the sea of fire for a while, but still found no clue about Geng Hu’s whereabouts.

“He might have been taken away.”

He Chenguang said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“Hmm, we’ve pretty much searched everywhere here; indeed, there’s no sign of him.”

Qin Yuan also nodded in confirmation.

They indeed had searched almost every corner just now and had not found any trace of Geng Hu.

Continuing to stay here was not feasible; one because the temperature was too high to bear, and two, because their team needed them back for command tactics.

Qin Yuan and He Chenguang did not hesitate, they turned and walked out of the fire scene to rejoin their team.
