Deep in a pristine tropical rainforest in West Africa, a six-member team led by He Lu, carrying medical supplies and guided by a local, made their way toward their destination. Their mission was daunting: the drugs not only meant life or death for the hundreds of villagers in a remote settlement, but if successfully delivered, they would foil the sinister experiments of an international pharmaceutical company using living humans as test subjects. Through high-level connections, He Lu had learned that the corporation was exploiting this isolated village to develop a super-virus, a weapon likely to be deployed in future terrorist acts. The medicine they carried was the key to wrecking that experiment.
Since none of them were professional jungle survival experts, the guide estimated the team would need two or three days of trekking through the forest to reach the target village. He Wenjie arrived only by nightfall, and upon inquiring, learned that to race against time, the team had quietly set out at dawn. Receiving the news that they had already gone, He Wenjie did not dare hesitate for a moment. He grabbed his equipment and set off alone to catch up.
Fortunately, by the time He Wenjie caught up with them on the second morning, the team had not encountered any enemy ambushes. He Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief. Without revealing himself, he simply remained in the shadows, trailing behind them.
