The darkness of the night deepens, and a heavy rain pours down.
On a rugged mountain road, an off-road vehicle is moving swiftly. In the lightless night, only the vehicle's headlamps illuminate the path ahead.
The mobile phone placed on the passenger seat buzzes persistently, unsettling like a death knell. Glenn Hutchinson, who is driving, glances at the note on the mobile phone screen and quickly diverts his eyes. It is only when the other party insists on calling for the third time, he slows down the vehicle speed, puts on a Bluetooth headset, and answers the call.
"Yes?"
"Where are you?"
As soon as he answers, a chilly voice cuts through from thousands of miles away. The harsh cold tone even makes Glenn Hutchinson's brow furrow.
Glenn Hutchinson catches sight of a big bend ahead and slows down a bit before replying: "On the Navy's side."
After a pause, the voice on the other end remains cold, "Is it necessary?"
"Yes."
Glenn Hutchinson responds without hesitation.
