Chapter 1316 The Safest Escape Route

"Please, you absolutely must catch those criminals!"

An island nation, at a military base.

The middle-aged man, who resembled an Akita dog, bowed ninety degrees to the colonel who was sitting there, smoking a pipe.

His attitude was humble, his tone sincere, and his posture extremely subservient.

But the colonel sat there with his legs crossed, looking completely at ease, occasionally puffing on his pipe to keep the tobacco burning.

After a full half minute, the colonel finally looked down at the most powerful person on the island and spoke in a calm tone.

"Alright, we'll see this through to the end. No matter who the other party is or where they come from, they're doomed."

"We are strategic allies in the Asia-Pacific region, the closest of allies. Your business is our business."

"The enemy brazenly infiltrated, seized your island, murdered so many of your innocent civilians, and now they've even bombed such a sacred and solemn place..."

"What they did was utterly outrageous and lawless; no matter where they ran, it wouldn't make a difference."

The colonel's words gave the middle-aged man great comfort, and he slowly straightened up.

"Then, on behalf of everyone in the Hall of Heroes, I would like to express my gratitude to the Colonel!"

"If you find those people, please notify me immediately. I will cooperate to the best of my ability!"

The colonel nodded slightly, then, using the excuse that there was still training to come, had his men see the guest out.

This action made the middle-aged man's face turn ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Soon, his subordinate returned: "Colonel, the man has been sent away."

The colonel turned his pipe over, tapped it in the ashtray, and then stuffed it back in with tobacco: "What was his condition when he left?"

"Nothing has changed. They still have the humility and caution that islanders should have."

"Yeah?"

"However, I saw his face immediately turn ugly the moment he got into the car."

"Hahahaha, that's right!"

The colonel at the base laughed heartily: "The islanders like to be bound by small etiquette, but they lack a sense of righteousness; the reason they are so humble is that they really can't swallow this insult and hope that we can lend a hand."

The subordinate nodded.

He also noticed this.

This is a nation that is both open and repressive.

They appear to be well-behaved and polite, but it's more of a mechanical process.

The so-called kneeling, bowing, speaking softly, and being orderly are merely part of a mechanized process.

These people can truly hate you to the core, but on the surface they can greet you with a smile as if nothing happened.

Such hypocritical people are often the most dangerous and the most worthy of vigilance.

Subordinate: "However, those thugs were incredibly audacious to do such a thing. It's tantamount to slapping the face of the island nation on a pile of dung."

The colonel used his lighter to light the pipe, took two quick puffs, and exhaled a puff of smoke from the corner of his mouth.

“These guys originally had ulterior motives towards us, but now that this has suddenly happened, they have no choice but to turn to us for help.”

"Going forward, we will be bound together even more tightly, and at least for the time being, we will not dare to have any disloyal thoughts."

Subordinate: "I heard that gang of thugs has already escaped from Japan. Can we still catch them?"

Colonel: "There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'Man proposes, God disposes'; although those guys are quite capable in combat, they are not so invincible as to fly or disappear into the ground."

"Most of the areas bordering Japan are under our control, and the sea and air have been doubled in blockade. They definitely can't escape!"

......

"How's it going? Is it working?"

A phone booth on the street in Seoul.

Having escaped, Dodge dared not use his cell phone to contact anyone else, fearing he would be wiretapped.

Arriving at a phone booth, he pulled a number from his pocket; it was the number Qin Feng had used to contact him earlier.

Although Qin Feng and his two companions landed in China through special channels, they separated after landing and never contacted each other again.

This phone number is now the only way Dodge can contact Qin Feng.

However, after several attempts, the number on the other end of the phone was always invalid, meaning that Qin Feng was using a temporary number when he contacted him.

Unable to contact them...

Dodge hung up the phone in disappointment.

Kim Hee-eun, Kim's female companion, sighed: "How could we possibly get through? You're thinking too highly of them! I'm now 70% sure they're the ones who betrayed us."

Dodge's face darkened, and he remained silent: "..."

Kim Hee-eun looked at him and comforted him, "I know you consider them friends, but you also said that their strength is far greater than ours."

"If that's the case, why did I contact you to deal with Yamada Toshihide when we were in Japan, and even drag you into something as big as bombing the sacred toilet?"

"They could have done it together, but they dragged you into it. Wasn't their purpose to confuse the situation and interfere with the tracking by the island nation and the Americans?"

Dodge clenched his fists and began to recall how he met Qin Feng.

This includes details such as how they suddenly switched to Korean to communicate in the sanctuary, and various other details.

This made him suspect that he might have really been tricked by Qin Feng.

The purpose of doing this might simply be to allow Qin Feng and the others to escape safely!

"As the saying goes, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."

"With the problem of the Japanese devils solved, and no external enemy left, then we are their enemy."

"The Yan people are skilled in strategy and adept at military tactics; our existence is always a threat to them, and may even lead to future conflicts, so they want to avoid all risks in advance..."

Dodge clenched his fists, his heart pounding like a volcano: "If that's really the case, if they really betrayed me, I won't let them get away with it!"

......

It is an old residential area about 15 kilometers away.

The seventh to ninth floors were all transformed into tiny, cage-sized rooms.

The room can only accommodate a single bed, a desk, and basic appliances such as an air conditioner and a desk lamp.

This is the famous Goshiwon (exam preparation center) in Seoul, a place for many impoverished students who specifically prepare for exams.

The low rent attracted many people from all walks of life, resulting in a relatively complex flow of people.

But it was precisely because of this that this place became the temporary refuge for Qin Feng, Fang Qin, and Xu Wu.

There are safe houses prepared by farms on Jeju Island, but the risk of transferring them back to the country by sea is too high.

Moreover, once surrounded at sea, there would be no escape, so Qin Feng prepared another escape route that the enemy would never expect.

Even if the enemy thought of it, they would have absolutely no chance to pursue, much less set foot there...
