Indeed, the elderly commander regained his composure, his gaze falling upon Su Shen and Huo Jing. These two were the only survivors from the dense forest years ago. To rescue Gong Zhan, they were the most likely candidates to succeed.
Huo Jing was the first to react, squinting his eyes, a hint of calculation in his gaze. He then lit a cigarette and joked, "Commander, you're not seriously considering sending us, are you? Since when does one sign up for a suicide mission twice?"
The elderly commander was apologetic, but he still spoke, "Su Shen, Huo Jing, we have received orders from above. This man must be rescued. You two have the experience, and I believe you can complete this mission. In fact, you are the only ones who can."
As Su Shen watched the exchange, Huo Jie suddenly burst in from outside, her eyes red. She stood in front of Su Shen, pleading, "Uncle, you can't let Su Shen go. My father's dying wish was for us to get engaged. You can't send Su Shen to his death!"
