Chapter 1065 Midnight Nightmare

In no time, half a month was over.

The dark and horrible forest was blanketed in an eerie silence. One could smell the strong smell of stale blood everywhere. For any person new to this environment, it would be a living hell. However since they were used to this strange atmosphere, they managed not to throw up or get sick.

There on a withered tree slid a grayish black snake blending itself in its surroundings. It was quite thick, almost the size of a full-grown man's wrist. Very slowly it slithered down to eat the rotten flesh on the ground.

The soldier who was resting against the tree was startled by the rustling among the leaves. As he had been in that forest for a fairly long time and he could sense the slightest of sounds.

Very slowly, he held his wounded shank and curled away from the snake. As the snake gradually crawled towards him, he shuddered and tried to move away.

But no matter how careful he was, the soldier was no match for the snake's agility in the darkness of the night.

Then suddenly the snake rushed down from the tree in full speed. The smell of raw blood made it excited and hungry. It stuck its tongue out and jumped on the soldier with full might.

The hissing of the snake resounded in the whole forest and slashed through the dead silence.

Afraid of letting out a scream, the soldier bit his wrist and tried his best not to draw the attention of his companions.

As he closed his eyes waiting for his demise, a man came out of nowhere and wielded a dagger in front of him and fiercely stabbed the snake to death.

"Are you alright?"

the man asked in a low voice while helping him up. After decapitating the snake, he walked over slowly.

"I'm fine. Thank you!"

The soldier collapsed against the trunk, heaving a sigh of relief. He clumsily reached his pocket and took out an envelope wrapped in plastic. "One Zero, Could you... Could you please hand this letter to my beloved wife when the mission is over?"

"Why don't you give it to her yourself when you get home to her?"

The man whose code name was One Zero refused to accept this responsibility. He took out a bandage from his bag and wrapped it around the soldier's injured leg.

"I am not sure if I will be able to get through this. Besides, I'm afraid my leg won't be able to function normally even if I survive. We have just been married for less than a year. I don't want to go back and be a burden to her."

ents would worry when she didn't come home in the evenings. She always told them that she was sleeping over at Chloe's house.

She yawned sleepily and took a quick look at the camera placed near the window, then she went back to bed.

She held tightly to her chest the doll that Sean had given her and dozed off to sleep.

Although Sean never explained what he was doing, she always knew that he was on a mission and he would be unreachable for a while.

She was always concerned about his safety.

She found it almost irresistible to love him.

Although she knew that she was being stupid, she couldn't let go of the feelings that she had for him.

She slept soundly for about an hour.

When she woke up, she got up to go to the bathroom. Before going back to bed, she looked at the camera again, thinking that her Uncle Sean might have come back in the middle of night as he often did.

She felt that something was wrong as she was about to go back to bed. So she checked the camera again.

Just then, she saw a car rushing past the military gate at an insane speed.

Something was wrong.

It was three o'clock in the morning and the guards were supposed to be taking a rest at this hour.

However, the car blazed past the gate. It did not stop and even sped up going into the military compound.

What the hell was happening? The guards were probably informed beforehand, so they had lifted the railing in advance to let the car through without any hassle.

Sandra couldn't go back to sleep after this. She took out her binoculars and looked through the lenses to try to find out what was going on.
