In late June, China-X border.

The primeval forest stretches for dozens of kilometers. It is close to the tropics and the sun is scorching. The sun shines a white sky.

On the horizon, the shadow of a military helicopter was approaching.

As it got closer, the propellers created wave after wave of rumbling sounds.

The special forces on board were fully armed with combat uniforms, armor vests, gear, guns and ammunition, and helmets and masks.

Li Jungkook  stood by the hatch, pulled his mask down to his chin, looked down, and shouted, “Descend further.”

The helicopter dropped vertically for a distance, and the wind from the propeller stirred up the trunks and branches of the trees in the forest, making them seem like they were caught in a vortex of air. A flock of birds were startled and flew away.

“Lift!”

The helicopter retraced its steps for a distance, and the rolling treetops below calmed down slightly, swaying slowly like waves.

Li Jungkook  made an OK gesture to the pilot, pulled his mask back up, grabbed the rappelling rope beside him with one hand, and jumped off the helicopter.

His agile figure quickly fell into the forest and disappeared without a trace.

Half a minute later, the rope shook, sending a signal.

His comrades jumped off the helicopter one after another and quickly descended into the forest. Until the last teammate landed and untied the rope. Several ropes were pulled up at the same time, and the helicopter rose a distance and flew towards the horizon.

And where he had just stopped, the trees were still and everything was normal.

Only the scorching sunlight remained, as if nothing had happened.

Throughout June and July, Li Jungkook  did not come to the imperial city again, and Lisa  had no way to visit him.

They were separated by distance and she didn’t even know where he was.

She was worried after not hearing from him for such a long time.

Although she knew that Li Jungkook  was a very powerful special forces soldier, he was still on a mission after all, and bullets were blind, so she was afraid of the possibility of an accident. Unfortunately, the news was also chaotic during this period, with police officers being stabbed to death, criminal police being shot by homemade guns, and drug enforcement police dying in combat.

She was horrified when she saw police officers and soldiers sacrificed in the line of duty.

Even when I’m not scaring myself, I’ll miss him a lot.

But maybe this is part of being with Li Jungkook , and she has to endure and get used to it.

The place where he was carrying out the mission was at the border, so the signal was poor. Once he entered the mission state, it was impossible to contact the outside world.

Lisa  would occasionally send him text messages talking to herself, but he had no way of seeing them in time.

In two months, he only called her twice, but the phone he used was not his, and the numbers displayed were strange and garbled.

The first phone call was at the end of June, not long after they separated, and they were very passionate and chatted for almost half an hour, until he had to meet up and hung up in a hurry.
