Half an hour went by and the fleet of cars lying in ambush in the deep part of the forest was now covered in a thick layer of snow. Inside one of the vehicles, Captain Anderson kept his eyes on his subordinates and watched them tap away on their computers.
Finally, one of his subordinates turned to look at him with a resigned expression. “We haven’t been able to receive any information on Captain Lloyd. Perhaps he has switched off the communication system or there must be a transmission disruptor set up in the cave.”
“Darn it! Does that mean we won’t even know if he’s dead or alive?” one of the fiery-tempered team members cursed in a low voice.
“Don’t panic. I trust that Richard would not lose his life that easily. I have the utmost confidence in his capabilities.”
“But then, we’ve just experienced the other party’s artillery power and they’re very strong. They’ve also employed all of the finest mercenaries in their team, which is why we’re unable to approach them now.”
“We should have faith in Captain Lloyd and wait for news from him. Let’s come up with another tactical plan if he doesn’t end up contacting us.”
The gloomy and heavy clouds descended upon the area and the exterior part of the main cliff was covered in a layer of icy snow. Meanwhile, another flurry of heavy snowfall dawned from the sky.
Presently, the men in charge of guarding the entrance repeatedly cast breath on their hands to warm their palms and one of them was dunking the water bottle into his mouth.
