After the expedition ceremony, the two teams set off for Makallu Peak that afternoon.
First, the plane arrived at the largest city nearby, then they took a bus for more than five hours before entering a mountainous area.
The surrounding scenery was obviously deserted. There were winding roads leading through the endless mountains.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Finally, the bus stopped at the last official point, and everyone rested there for a night.
The next morning, the bus was changed to a truck. It continued to move forward on the bumpy mountain road and drove towards Makallu Peak.
After traveling for half a day, the truck almost fell apart. The group finally arrived at the foothill of Makallu Peak.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of people had already arrived ahead of time, including the garrison soldiers, logistics staff, and technicians responsible for debugging equipment.
The camp where everyone would stay had already been built. Although it was not as comfortable as home, it was still considered luxurious. They warmly welcomed Yizreel and Fade, and then arranged for the staff members to check them in.
As Yizreel took the lead, he occupied the most luxurious camp for himself. Subsequently, the Seven Stars of Big Dipper members also chose their own camps. The rest of the main forces moved in too.
In the end, there were only two camps left on the far edge for Fade's reserve team.
Yizreel smiled at him and said, "Fade, I'm really sorry. There are only two camps left. Your reserve team can squeeze in there!"
Herbert adjusted the glasses on his nose and said to Yizreel with a smile, "The main team led by Yizreel are about to face a big battle, therefore, we need better rest and logistics. This is for the sake of the overall situation. I hope you'll understand, Fade."
"The main force needs better rest. Of course, I can understand that, but since we are all from the main force, Yizreel and the members of the Seven Stars of Big Dipper each occupy one camp, and the others have to squeeze together. I don't quite understand this." Halston's expression darkened as he spoke sarcastically.
Yizreel's expression darkened as he glared at Halston.
Herbert chuckled and explained, "You must be Halston long from Tianwu Clan, right? If you don't understand, then I'll explain it to you."
"Yizreel and the five of us are the core of the main force this time and are the main fighting strength. Therefore, we naturally need better resting conditions. Of course, our positions have also been approved by the other members."
After that, Herbert looked at the main force.
Suddenly, many of the team members echoed.
"Yizreel is very powerful. It's normal for each of them to rest in one camp by themselves."
"Yizreel and the members of the Seven Stars of Big Dipper are very powerful, and they are our examples. It's necessary for them to rest well." "As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Similarly, the greater the ability, the better the living conditions." "Halston, do you understand now?" Herbert looked at him with a faint smile.
Halston frowned and wanted to say something.
However, behind him, Fade patted him on the shoulder and said, "Halston, it's okay. Let's just forget it!"
Halston retreated when he heard this.
Seeing this, Yizreel and others on the opposite side laughed.
"That's good. It seems that Fade is quite understanding."
"It turns out that some people know when to retreat!"
Ignoring their sarcasm, Fade led his team to settle down in two camps. Men and women were in their respective camps.
The camps were not big, but for martial artists at their level, sitting down and resting was enough for them to recover. Therefore, they did not need too much space.
In the women's camp, there were only Joey, Kelly, and Yura. Therefore, it was relatively spacious.
After they settled down, Fade apologized to them, "Everyone, I'm sorry for such conditions."
Upon hearing his words, Halston quickly waved his hand. "Fade, you are too polite. This is an important matter for the country and the people. It's not a big deal."
"That's right. We have to look at the bigger picture."
Hearing this, Fade gently nodded his head and said, "Thank you!"
He said this from the bottom of his heart. After all, these people had risked global condemnation to join his reserve team. Now that they were at the camp, they were belittled by Yizreel and the rest as well.
Originally, given their respective positions in their clans, it was not necessary for them to be treated this way.
Under normal circumstances, Fade
would not have let them suffer so
much. However, Jaguar had
explained to him the seriousness of the matter, and Fade treated it with great importance. He did not want to cause any trouble, therefore, he yielded in front of Yizreel
There were still two days before the birth of the legendary 'Seven-colored Lotus'.
During this period of time, the mission of the expedition was to investigate the situation around Makallu Peak, as well as to figure out the enemy's situation.
In this regard, Yizreel directly handed over these hard tasks to Fade's reserve team.
He said that it was training for the reserve team and to maintain the main team's physical strength in its best condition.
Fade did not say anything and went to patrol with his reserve team. After all, it was also good for them to know the terrain around them.
As a result, after they finished patrolling, they returned to the camp.
He saw Yizreel and the others gathered around the center of the campsite with a bonfire lit. They roasted meat on the fire, and there was wine and fruit beside them.
Yizreel and the core members of the Seven Stars of Big Dipper drank and ate happily around the bonfire.
Seeing this, the eyes of Halston and the others, who had only eaten combat rations, could not help but turn cold.
Fade also frowned but did not say anything. He brought his team back to the camp. After all, eating and drinking were not that important for Heaven Level martial artists.
However, when they saw Fade and his team come back, Yizreel waved his hand and said, "The reserve team, stop right there!"
Fade frowned and turned to him, asking, "What's the matter?"
Yizreel raised his eyebrows and said
n
coldly, "What's with your attitude? You've finished your patrol. As the captain of an expedition team, L naturally need to know the situation of your tasks, in case you cheated and did not do well in your task."
Fade suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, took out a map, threw it to Yizreel and said, "This is the map of the route we went today. Look at it yourself if you want to know anything."
After that, he turned and prepared to head back to his camp.
However, just then, Yizreel took the map and looked at it. His expression darkened and he shouted, "Wait!"
Fade turned around and looked a little angry. He looked at Yizreel and said, "What else do you want?"
Yizreel pointed to a peak on the map and said, "Why didn't you and your team patrol this location? What are you all doing?"
Fade glanced at the map and said, "It's on the side of the ridge, and the mountain is calm. It's very far from the location of the Sevencolored Lotus Therefore, it's not a suitable location for an ambush. Hence, I didn't patrol that area."
