My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1712

Punished by the military rules!

Upon hearing these words, Monique felt a quiver in her heart.

In the army, everyone knew that military orders could not be disobeyed. No matter whether the orders given by the superiors were right or not, as long as they were ordered to do so by their superiors, the subordinates, had to follow.

That was the most basic quality of a soldier.

If she violated that, she would be punished by the military rules.

It was a crime that no soldier could afford to commit.

It also meant that Levi was talking to her as a team leader at this instant. No matter what happened next, she had to obey his orders.

She couldn't disobey.

Monique didn't say anything. Even though she was nearly collapsing from the heat, she still quickened her pace, trying to find the way out of this dangerous secret passage as soon as possible.

After God-knows-how-long, they reached the end of the secret passage.

There was no road ahead and they couldn't find where the exit was. Fortunately, the end of the passage was quite spacious. It was able to hold about five people.

Monique threw Sheldon onto the ground and asked, "Shall I look for the exit first?"

Levi similarly dispatched Edward onto the ground and grabbed her, replying, "In case there's another trap, you stay here and watch the two of them. I'll go look for it."

Monique knew that Levi didn't know anything about the secret passage. She might even find it before he did, but at this moment, her physical state was impaired and she was running low on energy. Therefore, she couldn't say for sure.

Plus, the reason Levi made that decision was probably in consideration of her weakened state, so Monique didn't go against it. She backed off rapidly and leaned against the wall to rest, conserving her energy as much as possible.

Although it was true that Levi didn't know anything about the secret passage, he was quick-witted enough. Given the spaciousness of the passage currently, it was not difficult to find the exit. It didn't take long for him to find the slate above them covering the exit.

He pushed it hard, but it wouldn't budge. He didn't know if there was something covering the slate.

Monique went forward instantly and said, "Let's push together."

Levi nodded. "Okay."

Both of them looked at each other. They did not speak, but mentally counted to three at the same time and then pushed it together.

With their combined strength, the slate covering the exit finally showed signs of loosening. However, they still had not pushed it open all the way. Thus, they did it again for the second time, the third time... It was not until the sixth time that they finally managed to move the slate on the exit of the passage.

As soon as the slate was pushed open, mud fell from the hole of the exit. Without hesitation, Levi grabbed Monique and shielded her in his arms to protect her. Monique was unscathed from the mud but Levi's face was slathered in mud and dirt.

They had no one to back them up at present, hence that was the only way.

However, just as they were propping Sheldon and Edward up, dazzling lights lit up from all directions all of a sudden. The lights were so bright that they couldn't see anything for a few seconds.

When their visions adjusted to the blinding light, a circle of people had already surrounded them densely. At first glance, there were about thirty people. The leaders who were standing in front of them were Ben and Mark, who they had met before.

Ben was holding a loudspeaker. He said, "Young Master Brown, Mr. Gilbert invited you to his house as guests. But look at you, what have you done? Where are you taking Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Callum in the middle of the night? Since you don't appreciate our kind deeds, don't blame us for being rude to you from now on."

After walking in the sauna-like passageway while carrying Sheldon and Edward for more than one hour, they had finally escaped it after experiencing much hardship. Yet, they were surrounded by the enemies again as soon as they got out.

Levi was so frustrated; his heart felt like a bomb that could explode at any time. Monique noticed his emotions and tugged at the corner of his clothes silently, indicating for him to calm down.

Levi's gaze swept over the crowd surrounding them coldly and then settled on Monique's back.

Monique grabbed his hand and whispered, "Don't worry about me. Let's break through together."

However, Levi hugged her tight, so tight it was as if he wanted to mold her to his flesh. He whispered in her ear, "Monique, these people will no longer play nice with us this time. To complete the mission, we have to do it the hard way. Later, I'll hold them back. You have to find a way to snatch the car on the left in front of us. Take Sheldon and Edward away and try your best to catch up with Martin before 8 o'clock."

"Levi, I don't want..." Monique refused. If she took the car and left first, it meant that she was leaving Levi alone to fight with these thirty-odd people.

Those people were all extremely vicious people. Even if Levi's body was made of steel, it was impossible for him to defeat so many of them. But before she could finish voicing her refusal, Levi whispered in her ear again, "Monique, we are soldiers. Obeying orders is a soldier's duty. Even if we lose our lives while carrying out our mission, we must complete it."
