The return trip was much shorter than the journey there, as there was no need for exploration. However, it still took an hour to return.

George and Rubber seemed fine, but Frank was different. He was covered in mud and looked very defeated.

Gao Guang finished his dialogue, and now it was Frank's turn.

"After we landed, we didn't walk far. The bushes and ferns were dense. Caps led the way, and I followed about ten meters behind him. Then he was suddenly tackled by someone from the bushes. Caps raised his gun to shoot, but he was hit. I immediately took cover and fired back."

After saying this in a numb tone, Frank scanned the three of them with lifeless eyes and then said, "There were many enemies, but I only saw two. They were wearing green clothes, like military uniforms. I started to retreat, and they chased after me. But running away in the rainforest wasn't too difficult. Also, I judged that they didn't have a boat, and they wouldn't go into the water. It's impossible to chase us in the swamp, so that's how I managed to escape."

Gao Guang didn't speak, but George had a serious expression and said, "So we're relatively safe here."

Rubber was impatient and gritted his teeth, "Why are there guerrillas here? There shouldn't be any guerrillas here. The Guevara organization surrendered! They completely disarmed last year, and they should be in the southeast!"

George whispered, "No, only a part of the Guevara organization surrendered to the government. The Guevara organization has split into three parts. The main body surrendered, the second division joined Venezuela and is active on the Venezuelan border. However, there is still a third division, and the third division is in conflict with the second division. Also, the third division's activities roughly cover our location. So... it's complicated."

The Guevara organization was Colombia's largest guerrilla group, fighting against the government for many years, but Gao Guang really didn't know where they were.

Frank sighed lightly, then looked confused and said, "So... what should we do?"

Yes, what should they do?

This was a swampy area, so it wasn't very dangerous. Even if the enemy had been active here for years, it was impossible to chase them through the swamp because it was a difficulty that willpower and physical strength could not overcome.

But if it was a plane, and if it was easy to evacuate, Frank and his team would lose their biggest motivation to fight. As for whether to rescue John, it depends on how they choose.

Gao Guang's idea was simple. He wanted to save John. If Frank and his team didn't want to save him, then no one would leave.

Rubber sighed and said, "Do we even need to ask? Of course, we should save Caps."

George nodded solemnly.

Frank looked at Gao Guang with a powerless expression and said, "Only you can speak Spanish. Are you willing to negotiate with the enemy?"

Gao Guang was a little surprised because he thought Rubber and the others wouldn't want to save John, especially Frank, who obviously had a mental breakdown.

Gao Guang nodded without hesitation and said in a low voice, "I'll go."

George shook his head and whispered, "Giving up on negotiations is unrealistic. The third division of the Guevara organization is known for being tough and cruel. Also, their main source of income is cocaine. So... if you go, you'll only be sending yourself to die."

Rubber was annoyed and said, "Do we four have to break in and rescue Caps? Are you kidding me?"

Frank, with a blank expression, said, "If negotiations only lead to death, then I'll go by myself to save Caps. This is my responsibility, guys. I'm sorry."The meaning of this apology was complex, but it was obvious that Frank's mental world had really collapsed. He wanted to die, or rather, he didn't want to live anymore.

Now Gao Guang didn't care whether Frank had collapsed or not. He was just glad that Frank was willing to rescue John, and he was also surprised that Rubber and George were willing to help.

"Then let's go, we only have four hours."

Gao Guang suggested, and after a moment of silence, the other three nodded. Frank weakly waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

After boarding Frank's boat, the electric motor started and the inflatable boat began to slide at its fastest speed. Nobody mentioned whether the plane left behind would be discovered, nor did anyone bring up the issue that if George died, the remaining three would not be able to leave.

This small team was more united than Gao Guang had imagined. He felt that he had underestimated himself.

The waterway was winding and the speed was not very fast. Sometimes they had to get off the boat and carry the inflatable boat for a distance before putting it back in the water. It was no wonder that the guerrillas did not pursue them, as walking in the swamp for just a few dozen meters could exhaust a person completely.

They returned to the place where Frank and the others had been ambushed in about forty minutes, at a relatively fast speed.

At this moment, Rubber, who was on the boat behind them, suddenly shouted, "Captain, did you encounter an enemy camp or just a few sentries?"

Frank opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Rubber continued, "If it was just a few sentries, you could have..."

"Shut up!"

It was Joey who interrupted Rubber.

Although Gao Guang was a newcomer, he could tell that Rubber was trying to blame Frank. He wanted to say that if Frank hadn't rushed to escape at that time, it might have been possible to rescue John, instead of having to return now.

John must have been taken to the enemy camp by now, and the difficulty of rescuing him was vastly different.

Rubber's accusation was reasonable, but now was not the time to say these things. Fortunately, Joey interrupted Rubber, otherwise Gao Guang felt that there might have been internal strife.

Rubber was interrupted, but he didn't shut up. He just sighed and said loudly, "Captain, you're not fit to command now. Let me take command."

Frank nodded without saying a word.

The two inflatable boats were not far apart, so they needed to speak loudly. But nodding was easy to see.

With no internal strife, there was still a chance for the rescue operation. Gao Guang patted Frank's back and whispered, "Captain, pull yourself together. It's not a hopeless situation yet. With this kind of terrain, even if there are many people, they won't explore it without a clear purpose."

Frank sighed lightly and whispered, "Do you think Mr. Smith knew about the guerrilla camp when he told me about this place?"

Gao Guang couldn't answer that question. Frank continued in a low voice, "Let's ask when we have a chance. If there is still a chance, we should get off the boat now."

Of course, they couldn't land in the same place. Frank controlled the rubber boat to stop, jumped into the water, and walked a few steps in the mud before saying to everyone, "Let's start here. The hard ground is close by."

Rubber said in a low voice, "I'll take command. Get off here. Joey, Kung Fu Kid, cover us. Captain, give me your rifle, and you tie up the boat."

Gao Guang got off the inflatable boat, and he watched as Rubber took the rifle from Frank with a serious expression.

There were only two rifles, and now it was really not suitable for Frank to use one."Keep up, rookie. Be quiet and don't mind the captain. Take care of yourself. Even if he's crazy, he's a crazy person who knows how to fight, and you're just a rookie!"

Gao Guang, Rubber, and George were walking in front, struggling through the mud and water.

Fortunately, the hard ground was not far away. After walking through the swamp for more than ten meters and crawling through an unknown plant, Gao Guang's hands finally touched the hard ground.

Frank was the last one to get ashore. Rubber looked around vigilantly and then gently gestured to continue forward.

At this moment, Gao Guang suddenly whispered, "Wait a minute."

Somewhat embarrassed, Gao Guang whispered, "I hid the plane key under a piece of moss on the tree where the rope is tied, about two meters high. It's easy to find if you lift the moss."

Rubber and Joey looked at Gao Guang with complicated eyes, but neither of them said anything. After a moment, Rubber sighed and whispered, "Let's continue."
