Chapter 302 Leading the team into the mountains
The team members set out separately and gathered at the designated location.

Jiang Tang and Zhang Xiangdong took a bus to the suburbs and got off at the place where Jiang Tang got off last time.

They walked into the woods for a while and came to a dense forest. Eleven people emerged from the woods on all sides.

“Captain Zhang.”

“Captain Zhang,”

Ten men and one woman, all with buzz cuts, wearing military uniforms, military hiking boots, and carrying backpacks, came out to say hello.

Zhang Xiangdong nodded slightly and introduced Jiang Tang to them.

“Comrade Jiang Tang is our guide for this operation. She is very familiar with the mountains. Therefore, during this time in the mountains, everyone must obey her instructions and not act on their own.”

“Our mission is to protect Comrade Jiang Tang and let her lead us to our destination. Do you understand?”

Zhang Xiangdong has great deterrent power.

The team members answered in unison.

Zhang Xiangdong asked them to rest on the spot and make sure that nothing they had brought into the mountains was left behind.

He called out the only female team member.

“Chen Yue, come here.”

“Yes.”

Chen Yue put down what she was holding and quickly trotted forward.

“Captain Zhang.”

“Ah.”

Zhang Xiangdong nodded slightly and introduced Chen Yue’s identity to Jiang Tang.

“Her name is Chen Yue. If you have anything that is inconvenient to tell us in the next few days, you can talk to her.”

“Oh!”

Jiang Tang nodded seriously and looked at the lesbian with very short hair.

His gaze paused on Chen Yue’s face, and he asked with a smile, “Are you related to Director Chen?”

After these words were spoken, not only Chen Yue, but even Zhang Xiangdong was stunned.

No one knew about the relationship between Chen Yue and Director Chen except a few leaders.

I didn’t expect Jiang Tang to see it at a glance.

And it was obvious that Chen Yue didn’t seem to want to hear anyone mention this matter.

She didn’t look good.

His tone was a little aggressive, “Comrade Jiang, rest assured, my personal relationship will not affect my work.”

Given Jiang Tang’s personality, she doesn’t care about the other person’s relationship or attitude.

The reason why she asked about Chen Yue was simply because she saw that Chen Yue looked very similar to Director Chen.

That’s why I asked out of curiosity.

As for the rest, it was not within her scope of concern at all.

After a short rest, Zhang Xiangdong arranged for the personnel to set off.

As a guide in the team and an ‘ordinary’ female comrade, Jiang Tang was naturally under the team’s key protection.

Chen Yue followed her closely.

Originally, Zhang Xiangdong suggested that everyone take turns helping Jiang Tang carry her backpack, but she refused.

It’s still the same sentence.

“If you take care of yourself, you will be the greatest help to me.”

Her words were not very flattering.

Zhang Xiangdong, who had a general understanding of Jiang Tang’s character, just smiled when he heard this.

Others felt that the guide was too arrogant.

It took them several hours to walk about twenty kilometers from the foot of the mountain into the mountains.

As the forest became denser, their progress became slower and slower, and their steps became more and more difficult.

Jiang Tang, who was originally walking in the middle of the team, now walked at the front of the team.

Apart from a little sweat on her forehead and a few red cheeks, there was nothing unusual about her.

The breath is not disordered.

The team members who originally thought that Jiang Tang was a little arrogant, couldn’t help but admire her when they saw her standing on the big rock with ease.

What an amazing little comrade.

Chen Yue, who originally had some prejudices against Jiang Tang, also secretly sighed in her heart that this young comrade was a true example of why one should not judge a person by his appearance.

Jiang Tang didn’t know what they were thinking.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, she asked them to speed up and find a cave to spend the night.

“It will rain in the mountains at night.”

Jiang Tang spoke up. A soldier in the team who was responsible for observing the weather heard this and answered, “I checked the weather before I came here. The weather has been good these days.”

“The mountains are different from the outside.”

She also observed outside yesterday and confirmed that the weather in the city would indeed be very good in the next few days.

But now that she had come to the mountains, the mountain air, the flowing wind, and the scent of the grass and trees were all telling her that it would rain tonight.

And it will be a very fierce rainstorm.

Jiang Tang’s tone was so firm that the team members were also hesitant and undecided.

Zhang Xiangdong took a few steps forward and asked, “Xiao Jiang, when do you think the rain will start?”

“Ok?”

Jiang Tang raised his wrist and looked at the watch. It was four o’clock.

“It will rain heavily around six o’clock.”

“So we only have two hours to find the cave?”

Everyone became a little nervous when they heard this. You know, in this deep forest, encountering a storm is a very disadvantageous thing.

If possible, no one wants to get wet in the rain.

Zhang Xiangdong didn’t expect time to be so tight.

“Xiao Jiang, is there a cave nearby?”

“There is one, but you can’t get up there.”

She casually pointed at the cliff of the opposite mountain.

“There is a cave over there. No one can get in except the monkey and me.”

Everyone…

Zhang Xiangdong…

There is no need to compare yourself with monkeys!

Some people were not convinced and felt that they should not be looked down upon by Jiang Tang.

“Comrade Xiao Jiang, how can you be so sure?”

Jiang Tang blinked.

Why is she so sure?

Because they told her clearly that they were not cut out for it!
Zhang Xiangdong came to his senses and decided not to argue about the matter.

“Is there a cave that’s a little easier to get to?”

He is the captain and needs to put the safety of the entire team first.

Even if you are lucky enough to get up to the cave on the cliff, it will be too slippery to come down after the rain.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, a cave that is too high and too steep from the ground is not his first choice.

Jiang Tang thought about it, jumped off the big rock, and asked them to follow her.

“Comrade Xiao Jiang.”

Chen Yue, who had been standing by her side, held her arm and said, “It’s dangerous inside, let’s go first.”

The forest was getting deeper and deeper, and they should walk ahead to wade through the dangers that might be hidden under the trees.

Jiang Tang looked at Chen Yue and shook his head.

“No.”

“I am the guide, I am the leader, sheep.”

As she said that, she pulled her hand away, carried her backpack and walked forward first.

Chen Yue looked at Zhang Xiangdong.

Zhang Xiangdong asked them to follow.

“Be alert and follow Xiao Jiang’s instructions.”

After Chen Yue followed, Zhang Xiangdong asked the team’s deputy captain to follow quickly as well.

In addition to Chen Yue, the deputy captain and two other people are the main force arranged by Zhang Xiangdong to protect Jiang Tang.

He himself fell at the end of the team and was responsible for guarding the rear.

The group passed under thorn bushes that were much taller than them. In addition to the thorns above their heads, there were also tall and dense tree canopies that blocked the light from outside.

It was not yet evening, but the sky in the forest seemed to have darkened.

It was eerily quiet all around.

The only sound was the crunching of boots on the leaves.

Jiang Tang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

Chen Yue immediately assumed an attacking stance.

The rest of the team also became alert.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Jiang?”
