The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 234

Soon, the strange scene was discovered by all the military officers in the camp.

Gu Beihuai's face on the screen was zoomed in and became extremely clear, then he started smiling.

Han Ting: "???"

What is he doing this time?

Feng Kai Ji: "Is he asking for help? My god! Ah ah ah!"

Han Ting: "... "

Nonsense!

No one would believe that!

...

Not long after.

An off-road vehicle appeared on the screen.

The ground crew discovered the problem at the first moment. A ground crew soldier came to Gu Beihuai's location.

He first looked at Gu Beihuai speechlessly, then he started digging a hole elsewhere to hide the surveillance camera.

Gu Beihuai kept smiling happily to one side as he watched.

After the ground crew was done working, he turned back: "Please do not wipe the surveillance camera lens, it is not dirty! Also do not pull it out to expose it!"

Gu Beihuai: "Okay, but I'm going to hijack you now."

Ground crew: "???"

In the camp.

The group of military officers watching the screen were also dumbfounded!

Han Ting was completely confused about what Gu Beihuai was doing.

A few officers next to him started chatting about Gu Beihuai, from his childhood all the way to when he was 15 years old.

Feng Kai Ji originally wanted to mock them, but as he listened more, he became silly!

Damn, is the Gu Beihuai they're talking about the same one he knows...

...

And so, Gu Beihuai got on the ground crew's off-road work vehicle and drove towards the southwest corner.

The car sped off!

An hour and a half later, arrived.

After getting off the car, Gu Beihuai even waved goodbye to the man: "Thanks buddy."

Ground crew: "I will report your behavior to the commander in full detail!"

Gu Beihuai waved his hand: "Go ahead and report, no problem."

The ground crew was angered silly, gritting his teeth as he drove away.

Gu Beihuai arrived at the southwest corner, feeling extremely delighted.

Now the time was 8pm at night, it was dark.

After eating some compressed biscuits and drinking water, he started looking for people!

...

Nan Xiangwan flew like an agile cat towards the south. She was extremely happy.

She even found a small stream where she caught and grilled frogs to eat.

In one breath, she finished off an entire frog family.

After eating her fill, Nan Xiangwan was in no hurry to return to the meeting point. Survival was the main thing!

So she climbed up a tree to find the biggest branch where she started building a sturdy triangular frame with branches by hand.

Next she laid out her sleeping bag and secured all four corners to the frame, using the frame to support the bottom of the bag.

Then she camouflaged it with more branches and leaves on top and around.

Once done, she climbed in to sleep!

Sleepy time!

Nan Xiangwan felt carefree, cozy and comfortable here.

The officers in the camp, however, did not rest, busy directing dozens of light unmanned reconnaissance drones for carpet searches.

Looking for people!

Nan Xiangwan slept soundly, though she heard the drone wings pass above her head several times.

She ignored them and continued sleeping.

Due to filming angle limitations, the drones could only capture the dense branches below when shooting top-down, completely missing the hidden sleeping bag!

And so Commander Han Ting and the officers looked all night but did not find anyone!

The other training members had all passed by this area up to three times already. Even Gu Beihuai had been spotted, only Nan Xiangwan remained missing.

At 3am,

Han Ting signaled with his hand: "Deploy infrared reconnaissance drones!"

And so, another batch of drones embarked.

Carpet searches continued!

Soon, almost all participating military members were found.

Among them, Gu Beihuai stood in one spot watching the infrared drones pass by.

Not long after, several infrared reconnaissance drones clustered and flew in one direction. Gu Beihuai followed closely behind, chasing them!

Gradually, several drones hovered above a large tree.

Infrared imaging showed signs of life here.

Thermal imaging displayed a person sleeping here...

So the drones began sweeping around the area, buzzing nonstop like mosquitoes!

Finally, Nan Xiangwan could stand it no longer.

She crawled out of her sleeping bag, glaring angrily at the drones.

Not far away, Gu Beihuai secretly snuck over and smiled heartily at this scene.

How cute!

Thanks to these drones though, otherwise he would have had great difficulties searching alone so late into the night by himself.

He had not expected the military to also be looking.

...

In the camp.

The blurred thermal image finally clarified into night vision footage!

The officers collectively relaxed with sighs of relief, then became speechless.

Han Ting: "Cough cough!"

This child Nan Xiangwan is really...

Should we say clever or too clever for her own good?

Damn good at hiding!

You did better than last year's top trainee. We had to deploy infrared drones just to find you!

Feng Kai Ji was also amazed, angered enough to scold someone.

They had looked desperately all over and yet she slept so blissfully!

And look at the glare she's giving the drones.

What's that supposed to mean?

Unhappy about being disturbed from sleep?

Damn!

After finding the person, the infrared drones collectively flew back. These things were precious and expensive to deploy or damage.

They were replaced by regular lightweight military drones to continue monitoring near Nan Xiangwan. Just make sure not to lose sight of her again!

At this time it was already past 4am. Everyone had scurried about busily all night, only to have accomplished nothing.

The group was about to rest and sleep now.

However, a sudden message came from the control cabin!

One lightweight drone and three surveillance cameras in the southwest area were destroyed!

Han Ting was puzzled but with a hint of sharpness.

Feng Kai Ji: "Nan Xiangwan was probably pissed off from having her sleep disturbed and started wrecking drones for revenge! Commander, this naughty and disobedient kid is only causing more hassle, let me take her away lest she becomes more trouble for the base!"

Han Ting however suddenly ordered: "Deploy micro reconnaissance drones."

Feng Kai Ji: "Ah? No no need to make things complicated right? Just bring Nan Xiangwan back here, she's too unruly!"

In his perspective, Nan Xiangwan had shot down a drone and having her sleep disturbed again,

she must have acted brashly and smashed the other ones she saw.

First light drones, then infrared ones, and now even expensive micro drones were being pointlessly deployed!

But Han Ting caught a whiff of something strange. This was the border, anything was possible.

One had to react cautiously.

Not to mention the timing was suspicious, right before 4am.

Most soldiers would be sleeping while the air force would be preparing to fly.

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed deliberate!

Feng Kai Ji shut up, watching the officers coordinate a full response. He was confused.

He had no clue what was happening when suddenly tensions escalated!

...

Nan Xiangwan slept very well here.

At 5:30am, the sky started lighting up.

She originally wanted to continue sleeping but her sharp ears caught an odd noise!

Snap.

The sound of a tree branch being stepped on.

Nan Xiangwan keenly perked her ears up and listened for a while.

No one spoke. The person walked very lightly, seeming to cautiously survey their surroundings with each step.

Gradually the person drew closer.

Taking a long time, every step was taken gingerly.

From 5:30am the time crawled slowly to 6am as dawn broke and sunshine blazed!

Nan Xiangwan lightly yawned. The sunlight felt warm and comfortable.

But that person in the distance made her increasingly uneasy.

As she gazed over, a reflective object suddenly caught the first beams of sunrise and flashed brightly!

Dazzling!

But the glare lasted only an instant before it quickly disappeared into a shirt cuff.

Nan Xiangwan suddenly stared wide-eyed!

That was...

A diamond bracelet!
