Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

The heavy snow fell thick and fast, filling the vast mountains with a desolate atmosphere.

The branches kept hitting the car body, making "crash" and "clang" sounds.

Jiang Sen and his companions had long lost the excitement they had when they first set off. They gripped the handles tightly and stared ahead.

This road can hardly be called a road; I don't know who figured it out or when. It's extremely bumpy and you have to go around a dead tree trunk lying on the ground from time to time.

It's been a day and a night, and everyone has taken turns driving, but the guys don't dare to sleep, afraid of accidentally taking the wrong turn.

"How much further?" Jiang Sen asked.

"Two more days' journey," the man said, his eyes fixed ahead, bloodshot.

Jiang Sen glanced at the time; it was already past 11 a.m. the next day.

"Let's find a place to rest," Jiang Sen said. "You can't keep going like this."

The guy wanted to refuse, after all, this road was very dangerous, with wild animals roaming around and the possibility of encountering poachers.

He yawned and said, "There's a stream a little further ahead; let's rest there."

More than half an hour later, the car stopped, and everyone got out, stretching and moving their limbs.

There was a small stream to the side, only a meter or two wide, with crystal-clear water. The group took the rare opportunity to wash up, and then, laughing and joking, they gathered dry branches and firewood to start a fire in preparation for dinner.

The weather in October is already quite cool, and it's even colder in the mountains, several degrees lower than outside.

Wang Haiyang rummaged through his luggage and pulled out thick coats for everyone to wear.

Qianmian was baking bread and sausages and boiling stream water in a small pot.

Jiang Sen sat down next to him and asked, "Did you take this route back with them last time?"

Qianmian said, "No! I flew back by myself."

"..." Jiang Sen shouldn't have asked.

Qianmian had no idea what he was thinking. He looked up and around, saying, "This road must have gone through a lot to figure it out."

"It should be, otherwise you could easily get lost in the mountains if you're not careful."

"Where are we now?" Qianmian handed the twig for roasting bread and sausages to Jiang Sen, then got up to get a map.

The guys all came over, and one of them was even carrying a rabbit.

"They caught them so quickly?" Jiang Sen was surprised; he hadn't heard a sound earlier.

The guy grinned. "This is the first time I've ever encountered such a silly rabbit. I almost stepped on it and it didn't even run away. Why should I be polite?"

The joy of the journey outweighed the hardship of the trip. After eating and drinking their fill, they took out their sleeping bags and lay down by the fire to replenish their energy and sleep.

As time passed, the fire gradually died down, and the surrounding light dimmed.

Thousand Faces was the first to wake up. He opened his eyes, looked around, and sat up.

He poked at the extinguished fire with a twig, revealing a few embers, added a few more twigs, blew on them, and the fire reignited.

After everyone had a quick bite to eat, the three cars continued their journey.

This is a mountain forest; there is never a truly safe place, whether it's night or day.

Therefore, as long as the car is not broken and the person can still hold on, they will not stop.

For the remaining two days, the man and Jiang Sen discussed it and decided that the lead car would always be driven by a man who knew the way, and the two cars behind would follow, without stopping in between.

In the dim forest, the car lights flickered intermittently as it swayed and moved forward.

Just outside the forest, three off-road vehicles stopped.

As soon as the car door opened, several people got out.

They were all dressed in field training uniforms and fully armed.

One of them had deep-set eyes. He looked down at the road, followed the two tire tracks, and slowly looked up until he reached the forest.

“You go in from here!” he said, surprisingly in English.

They are special forces soldiers from the United States.

No one knew that long ago, the United States had its eye on Sergei's steel plant's research and development center and engine plant.

They have been secretly supporting a Russian oligarch, wanting him to buy the steel plant, no matter the cost, to acquire the equipment, data, and technology of the research and development center and engine plant in one fell swoop.

However, by the time they got to know the oligarch and brought up the matter, it was already too late.

Sergei has begun negotiations with the Chinese regarding the acquisition of the steel plant.

Once China masters these technologies, all those years of suppression will become a joke.

The United States immediately decided to stop the acquisition by any means necessary.

They immediately dispatched a team of special forces soldiers to assist the oligarch in lodging a protest with his superiors.

The reason given was that the technology possessed by the steel mill had seriously affected national security, and they hoped that the authorities could put pressure on Luo Jicheng to prevent the Chinese from acquiring it.

However, they were too late again. By the time their inside contact called, the acquisition had already been completed, and Sergei had abandoned the rest of his family. That very night, after the contract was signed, he and his family disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, they also discovered that agents from several other countries were constantly appearing in Roge.

Their investigation revealed that the Chinese had left the steel mill with classified research materials and some findings.

Everyone was mobilized, and even the KKB from Russia sensed something unusual.

They mobilized all the idle KKBs without missions and headed towards Roje City.

Upon arrival, everyone discovered that the Chinese were nowhere to be seen, replaced by a newly powerful Russian family, the Kuznev family!

According to their own claims, the Chinese were merely their family's behind-the-scenes agents; in reality, their family had purchased the steel mill.

As for the rest, the Kuznev family said that the steel mill was their own business and no one else had the right to interfere.

When this approach failed, agents from various countries began searching for the few Chinese nationals who had left.

They had all learned that when the Chinese left, they took more than a dozen large wooden crates with them, which most likely contained the most advanced weapon technology available at the time.

We absolutely must not let them return to China.

It would be best to leave them here permanently before they reach the border.

And so, the scene in front of the forest came about.

No one expected that the first country to find the whereabouts of the Chinese would be the United States.

Because among the people sent by the United States, there was a tracking expert.

Three off-road vehicles followed the tire tracks into the forest.

Peace and quiet have returned to the place.

But this tranquility is destined to be short-lived.

Less than two hours after they went in, several more SUVs drove up.

After they got off the bus, you could tell from their clothes that they were two groups of people.

One of the tall, strong men said, "This is it. Once inside, let's see who has the best skills!"

The tall, thin man next to him had blue eyes.

He said dismissively, "They're just a few Chinese people, they're definitely ours!"

"We'll see!"

"boarding!"

The two groups drove into the forest, where tranquility returned once more.

However, less than an hour later, several more cars drove up.

After a man wearing sunglasses got out of the car, he saw the messy tire tracks on the ground leading to the forest. He waved his hand, and the SUV drove in. He jumped into the car, squeezed inside, and closed the door.
