Chapter 735: Just a Little Bit Short

Situ Dianmo said, "Whether it's our Huaxia's Africa Plan or the investment group's foreign investments, they will infringe upon the interests of some hostile countries.

These people are unwilling to see our Huaxia grow stronger, and even more unwilling to see us make money, so they will secretly resort to some underhanded tactics.

Of course, no country will openly do these things; open action means war.

They deploy special departments, and so do we. This is a competition of strength from another perspective."

He Qingzhi said, "Who did this this time?"

Lei Pojun shouted, "Who else could it be? Only M Country has constantly caused trouble for our Huaxia."

Situ Dianmo said, "That's right. According to the intelligence we've gathered, M Country kidnapped Yun Qianxue and is now holding her in one of their special department's secret bases on the African continent."

Ye Bufan asked, "Why didn't they just kill Yun Qianxue? Why go to all this trouble, capture her, and then hold her in a base? Isn't that giving us a chance to rescue her?"

Situ Dianmo said, "You haven't worked specifically in special departments, so this is also a rule between various countries. For some especially important figures, generally speaking, they rarely kill them.

This is giving others a chance, and also giving oneself a chance. After all, if you capture someone else's person today, tomorrow someone else will capture yours."

Ye Bufan said, "Is there a possibility that the reason they captured and held her is to set a trap and lure us in?"

Situ Dianmo said, "Of course, that possibility exists, but the information from above is only this much. Those are not situations we need to understand.

As a special department, even if we know it's a trap, we must try every possible means to rescue the person. In the end, this kind of thing depends on whose strength is greater.

This rescue plan will definitely be difficult, which is why the higher-ups assigned it to us as a mission. The purpose is to temper our newly trained Heavenly Soldiers, as these people will be the main force in confronting other special departments in the future."

Ye Bufan nodded. He had already grasped the general idea.

Situ Dianmo said, "Since everyone has no questions, I will announce Xuanyuan Pavilion's order: Chief Instructor Ye Bufan will be responsible for this rescue plan, and the other team members will fully cooperate."

Ye Bufan did not decline and asked, "When do we depart?"

Situ Dianmo said, "According to the notice from above, a helicopter will pick us up in half an hour.

Ye Bufan said to everyone present, "Then everyone, quickly go back and relay the orders, and prepare for departure. We will assemble at the training ground in half an hour."

He Qingzhi and the others were elites trained by Xuanyuan Pavilion. They acted decisively and without any delay, quickly leaving the conference room.

After they left, Situ Dianmo said, "Xiao Fan, according to the orders from above, I need to stay in Huaxia to handle logistics and support, so I can't go with you. You must be more careful."

Ye Bufan held her in his arms, kissed her cheek, and said, "Don't worry, don't you know my strength? Rescuing someone is not a problem."

Situ Dianmo nodded. The four combat teams were about to depart, and she also had many things to do, so she left the conference room.

Ye Bufan returned to his room and called Ye Tian over.

Although he spoke casually just now, he knew that this trip to Africa would definitely not be smooth sailing. M Country's special department would not let him rescue the person so easily, so he had to make more preparations.

With a thought, a black Medicinal Pill appeared in his palm. This was refined by the Demon Refining Bottle the last time it absorbed Shangguan Hongfei's third-grade Silver Corpse.

Due to time constraints, he hadn't used it on Ye Tian yet. Now that they were about to depart, he needed to quickly help him improve.

After all, as a Corpse Puppet, he was also a part of his own strength.

He gave the small black Medicinal Pill to Ye Tian. A few minutes later, Ye Tian's body began to emit a brilliant silver glow.

After a while, the silver glow gradually faded, returning to calm.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. Although Ye Tian's strength had increased, there was still no qualitative Breakthrough, and he remained at the Realm of a third-grade Silver Corpse.

Although he had reached the critical limit, just a tiny bit short, he ultimately did not complete the Breakthrough.

A third-grade Silver Corpse is equivalent to an Earth Rank Middle Stage Martial Artist, while a second-grade Silver Corpse is equivalent to an Earth Rank Late Stage Martial Artist.

Although there is only one grade difference between the two, once a Breakthrough occurs, strength will increase by more than 10 times. Unfortunately, it was just a little short.

However, there was nothing that could be done about this kind of thing; the Corpse Refining Dao becomes more difficult the further one progresses.

Ye Bufan did not directly expose Ye Tian's strength this time. Instead, with a thought, he put him into his Storage Ring.

After all, strength hidden in the dark will have the greatest effect.

Half an hour later, the roar of helicopters resounded through the air, and several large military transport planes landed on the helipad.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

At the same time, the 100 members of the Heavenly Soldier Plan also assembled at the training ground, fully equipped and ready to depart.

With a command from Ye Bufan, everyone began to board the helicopters.

Seeing him come alone, Situ Dianmo asked, "Chief Instructor, where is Big Brother Ye Tian? Is he not coming with us?"

Ye Bufan said, "He has already left. I have some things I need him to do, and he will meet up with us after he's done."

"Oh!"

Situ Dianmo only asked casually, as Ye Tian was not a member of Xuanyuan Pavilion.

Everyone completed boarding, and these helicopters took off. Afterward, they changed planes once at the border of Huaxia and landed on the African continent about a dozen hours later.

When they arrived, it was around ** o'clock in the evening. This was a secret foothold of Xuanyuan Pavilion, which would provide them with sufficient logistical support.

Ye Bufan checked the satellite positioning on the map and confirmed that the target was about 50 kilometers to his southwest.

He gathered Murong Ping and the others and said, "We are about to begin the rescue operation. I have a preliminary plan now. Let's discuss it and see if it's feasible."

He pointed to the map on the table and said, "This is a relatively secluded small valley. M Country's secret base is built here. It's flat all around, and the terrain is very simple.

We don't know the situation inside the base or the strength of the enemy, and time doesn't allow us to conduct reconnaissance.

My plan is for our four combat teams to encircle from four directions. No matter who finds Yun Qianxue first, rescue her immediately, then send a signal, and we will immediately regroup and break out together."

He Qingzhi said, "Given the current situation, this plan is very suitable."

Lei Pojun and Murong Ping also nodded. The situation was urgent and unclear, so this was already the best plan.

Ye Bufan said, "Since there are no problems, we will depart now."

They were conducting a secret raid, so they did not use vehicles. A distance of 50 kilometers was not much difficulty for these members of Xuanyuan Pavilion.

At midnight, the four combat teams arrived around the M Country base.

This place was previously a dilapidated factory, with very high walls, about three meters high, and it was completely silent inside.

Confirming that the combat teams were ready, Ye Bufan whispered into the microphone by his ear, "Begin action."
