When she returned to the command center, Jiang Yao went straight to the thatched cottage to look for Shao Fucheng.
“Colonel Shao, I’ve discovered sothing.”
She walked up to Shao Fucheng and pointed at the button on her sleeve. She showed the thread sewn onto the button and said, “The thread on our button is yellow. Yours is green.”
Shao Fucheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yao in surprise. “You have good observation skills.”
Jiang Yao realized that he had already noticed, so she did not say anything else. When she heard Shao Fucheng praise her, she smiled and did not reply. Then, she left the thatched cottage.
The first thing Jiang Yao did when she returned to the tent was visit Wang iyu and Jing ngjie. The threads on their buttons were yellow like hers and Li Hong’s, Liu Chao’s was yellow while Wu Boyan and Zheng Shibin’s were green.
Jiang Yao was a little puzzled. Even though she did not know what the difference in the color of the thread ant, it could not have been a coincidence. Different colors definitely ant different anings.
Shao Fucheng did not leave the command center for the first three days. On the fourth night, when it was utterly dark, Shao Fucheng left the camp and took most of his n with him. That included the two communication soldiers in the thatched cottage, as well as Zheng Shibin and Wu Boyan.
Once Shao Fucheng left, the number of people left in the command post imdiately decreased. Then, Jiang Yao and the others gathered in the thatched cottage.
Six people were guarding the outside of the thatched cottage. Two soldiers in the thatched cottage stayed with Jiang Yao and the others. However, the two soldiers were like statues and did not make any sound since they entered the cottage.
“Hey, why did the Colonel take so many people away? When will he co back? Is he just going to leave us here? I heard that there are wolves in the mountains at night. Will we die if we encounter these wolves?”
Jing ngjie shouted at the soldier. “I read in the books that wolves hunt in packs. The deeper they hide in the mountains and forests, the fiercer they are.”
“There are no wolves in the mountains. Scouts have been in the mountains for the past few days, and they haven’t seen any traces of wolves. So don’t worry. It’s very safe to stay here,” one of the soldiers said.
A university student would never win against a soldier in terms of survival in the wild. Even Jiang Yao believed the soldier.
“Then what about the Colonel and the others? Where did they go?” Liu Chao continued to ask, “They even carried such a large piece of equipnt with them. Did they leave us here to cover for them so that they could move the base to another secret hiding place?”
The soldier looked at Liu Chao and said, “The Colonel went to ambush the Blue Team’s command center.”
Jiang Yao saw the soldier’s slightly blinking eyes, and so things instantly beca clear to her.
He did not answer Liu Chao’s questions. Liu Chao must have been right.
Shao Fucheng probably felt they were a burden, so he left them here to provide cover for them.
However, since Shao Fucheng was prepared to leave them there to be sacrificial lambs, why did he take Wu Boyan and Zheng Shibin with him?
Then, Jiang Yao suddenly reached out and pulled the sleeve on the soldier’s tag.
The soldier was shocked by Jiang Yao’s sudden action.. However, by the ti he reacted, Jiang Yao had already retracted her hand and looked at him with a smile.
