Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1813: Chapter 1716: A Complete Failure at the Last Moment

In the tent on the Liuli side of the Goryeo Country, there was only one person on duty, so Huo Sining and Gu Xu entered as if there were no one around. They scattered itching powder without any delay. However, on the Dongyang side, the lights were on, and seven or eight search and rescue team members were still awake, whispering about something around a table.

Huo Sining and Gu Xu exchanged a glance and approached tacitly, but just one look and Gu Xu’s face darkened.

On that table, there was a laptop with a 20-inch display. A team member held the mouse, drawing a rescue record map of Qingya.

On this map, fissile facilities, ordnance factories, and even national defense industries were marked clearly. On the side of the drawing, on one side of the screen, someone was continuously inputting data, with detailed clues and intelligence.

Huo Sining had spent some time in Dongyang, so she understood a lot of the Dongyang language. After a few glances, she couldn’t help but hold her breath and suddenly recalled what Ouyang Jun had said before.

The intelligence-gathering ability of these Dongyang people was truly formidable. In such a short time, they obtained so much information and data. No one knew how they did it. If they really infiltrated the Qingwu Pingchuan District, it was feared the entire secret base would be decoded by them.

Instinctively, Huo Sining squeezed Gu Xu’s palm. Gu Xu paused, immediately understood, and the two calmly scattered itching powder on the search and rescue team members and then sat down in an inconspicuous spot in the tent, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Once the drawing was completed, the search and rescue team members returned to their positions and started resting in their sleeping bags, leaving only two to keep watch.

This was the moment Huo Sining and Gu Xu had been waiting for. Once those people were asleep, the two began to act.

Quietly coming up behind the night watchers, Huo Sining silently moved them into the Space.

With obstacles cleared, Huo Sining and Gu Xu exchanged a glance and began to wreak havoc.

Following the principle of rather wrongfully eliminating ten thousand than letting one go, they not only targeted the Dongyang search and rescue team tent but also the Dongyang reporter side was not spared by Huo Sining and Gu Xu.

So, the next morning, when they woke up, the Dongyang search and rescue team members were shocked to find their equipment had major problems!

The mapping instrument was broken, the data collection device’s memory card chips snapped in two, the detectors and tape recorders, needless to say, even the reporters’ SLR cameras all had issues—lenses scratched, memory cards failing to read—none was spared.

”Impossible, this is impossible, isn’t it? Last night, I and Shangjing were sitting here keeping watch the whole time, never leaving for a step. How could such a thing happen?”

After discovering that the instruments were unusable, the two search and rescue night watchers were bewildered.

”Damn it, go quickly check if the survey map is still there!”

The search and rescue team leader stayed calm and immediately realized the critical issue, urgently shouting out.

The team member responsible for drawing the map rushed to the laptop on the table. But to everyone’s dismay, the laptop wouldn’t turn on. When the team member picked it up, the laptop’s back cover straight up detached from the display, and the hard drive inside shattered into several pieces and fell out.

”Baka! It must be those Chin-s doing this!”

The search and rescue team members were all infuriated. All the data they painstakingly gathered was lost, everything went up in smoke; how could they possibly keep their calm in the face of such a sudden blow?

The search and rescue team leader stormed out in anger, intending to find the Qing City Military Region, which was in charge of the earthquake rescue this time, General Yang Chensheng to reason with.

Yang Chensheng had initially not known about this matter, and was stunned when the search and rescue team shouted out about it.

Overnight, someone had destroyed all of Dongyang’s search and rescue team’s instruments?

Yang Chensheng got such a piece of big news, almost laughing out loud in delight, secretly thinking, he didn’t know which bastard did this, but it was so satisfying!

However, as the chief of staff and commander-in-chief of this rescue, Yang Chensheng had long agreed with the higher-ups that under no circumstances should they ruin relations with the international rescue teams.

So, even though he was secretly pleased, Yang Chensheng outwardly maintained his poise, showing sympathy, and immediately called for the Criminal Investigation Bureau to investigate the matter thoroughly, after carefully inquiring about the situation, and surveying the site items.

But, of course, the conclusion in the end was inconclusive, no matter how the Criminal Investigation Bureau checked; Yang Chensheng’s stance remained, unable to identify who did this.

The Dongyang rescue team was certainly dissatisfied with the result given by the Huaxia side. However, although they fussed as much as they wanted, Yang Chensheng still had the same buffering attitude, also expressing his willingness to compensate the Dongyang team with a humane loss fee for their instrument damage at replacement cost.

This left the Dongyang search and rescue team exceedingly frustrated yet helpless.

They couldn’t exactly admit that the loss of those instruments was minor, but the missing data and documents were the real issue, could they? That would be equivalent to self-confession, voluntarily admitting they came to Huaxia to collect military intelligence, wouldn’t it?

After a commotion, the Dongyang search and rescue team finally compromised and accepted the compensation suggestion from the Huaxia Country. These people held another short meeting secretly, deciding to employ the same trick again and try to retrieve a fresh set of data from the Qingwu Pingchuan side.

However, the plans couldn’t keep up with the changes. When they intended to retrace their steps to Guangyuan, by the afternoon, unexpected changes occurred.

The first to encounter problems were the team members of the Liuli search and rescue. Initially, one or two team members reported rashes on their bodies. The Liuli search and rescue team leader didn’t pay much attention, assuming it was a result of acclimatization, and simply approached the Huaxia medical team for some anti-inflammatory cream like dermatitis relief to brush it off.

However, what the team leader didn’t expect was that a few hours later, their entire team began to experience widespread skin itching issues, with their bodies covered in frightening rashes, himself not exempt.

Moreover, the more they scratched these rashes, the itchier and more they became, turning into pustules that oozed out a foul-smelling fluid, appearing shocking and sensational.

The team leader was immediately terrified, hastily contacting the Huaxia side, hoping to dispatch professional doctors for their team members. Yet, by the time he reached Yang Chensheng, he encountered the leaders from Goryeo Country and Dongyang Country, their bodies also covered in horrifying rash pustules!
