“Hurry, hurry, pickup the pace!”
At the supply station, Black Fox yelled loudly next to the transport plane.
Meanwhile, on the playground, Special Forces soldiers who had just withdrawn from the exercise area and a small number of reconnaissance troops were rapidly heading towards the ammunition crates guarded by two people.
Soon, each soldier grabbed hand grenades and ammunition magazines that matched their weapons before heading back.
“Here comes another group of people. Is something happening today?”
On the edge of the playground, a soldier on the watchtower couldn’t hold back and spoke into his walkie-talkie.
On the other side, in front of the barracks, another soldier stood there.
“I don’t know, these reconnaissance troops seem to be crazy!” He also had a walkie-talkie in his hand.
Two people took turns watching over the supply station during each patrol.
Today, it was their turn.
At the moment, the two of them had no idea that something had happened to their comrades in the platoon.
The soldier on the watchtower now had a pair of binoculars in his other hand.
The next moment, he suddenly said, “Something seems off!”
“What’s off?” came the response over the walkie-talkie.
“Their armbands seem different!”
“I can’t see, 1 don’t have binoculars!”
The soldier in front of the building squinted but was more than a hundred meters away. If he had the ability to see the armband patterns clearly with his naked eyes, he wouldn’t be guarding the supply station.
“Never mind, let’s not bother them. Shouldn’t our squad leader be getting to the cooking place by now? Which one of us should cook?”
“You cook, I’ll take over the watch. My culinary skills can’t match yours!”
As the soldier in front of the barracks spoke, he descended the steps in front of the barracks. However, after coming down, he couldn’t resist and deliberately walked towards the ammunition crates on the playground.
He saw the hastily arriving transport plane take off again, but there were still two soldiers near the ammunition crates.
He couldn’t approach them earlier, but now he could claim he was there to relieve them. It wouldn’t hurt to pass by and ask a question.
“Hey, brothers, what’s going on? Are you guarding live ammunition here?”
Li Xiaohao asked the two soldiers who were guarding the ammunition.
Both of them looked over.
One of them, looking at him with an expressionless face, said, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, comrade. Go about your business!”
Li Xiaohao was speechless, pursed his lips, touched his nose, and turned to leave.
“What’s so great about it, not asking means not asking!” Inwardly, Li Xiaohao muttered with dissatisfaction.
To be honest, at this moment, he couldn’t deny that he felt a sense of disappointment deep inside.
Look at them, transport planes, armed helicopters, and now live ammunition.
They might be going on a mission, but what about us?
Can’t even get a simple answer.
Feeling a bit helpless.
Little did he know, he had actually misunderstood the situation.
Because the two soldiers guarding the ammunition had no idea what had happened at all.
They were just support personnel, and their orders were simply to transport and guard the ammunition.
“Wang Ye, wait for me!”
In the jungle, the staff officer did not stay in one place.
Wang Ye had asked him to report, and he had indeed reported.
But now the chief of staff had boarded a transport plane to command operations in another direction.
Temporarily out of communication range.
He couldn’t go disrupt things on Jiang Nan’s side either.
After all, Jiang Nan was also involved in the operation now.
What if he accidentally interfered during a critical moment of Jiang Nan’s operation?
So, he just glanced at the criminal lying on the ground and then followed Wang
Ye.
This guy had been shot in the limbs, and he couldn’t possibly move. As for whether he would die from excessive bleeding, the staff officer wasn’t thinking about that at all right now.
Compared to everything else, he and Wang Ye were now members of the same team, and working together was the most important thing.
“Squad leader, one in front and one behind. Follow in my footsteps!”
Up ahead, Wang Ye heard his voice, but he didn’t stop.
In Wang Ye’s eyes, the staff officer was indeed a bit slow in terms of speed. Prolonged office work led to a decrease in physical fitness and cross-country speed.
Waiting for him to catch up and try to reach the last target that the armed helicopter had locked onto would take some time.
But Wang Ye didn’t want to waste time now.
Just as he was about to flip over an obstacle, Wang Ye felt impatient.
“Alright, but be careful. If you see the target and don’t have a clear shot, stop and wait for me…”
The staff officer felt a bit helpless, but now that Wang Ye had said that, he could only grit his teeth and speed up, trying his best to keep up.
At this moment, the staff officer vowed in his heart that this time, he would definitely get his fitness back when they returned. Slowing down the team was too uncomfortable.
Especially when they were out here to avenge their comrades and strike at criminals, he regretted not maintaining his physical fitness earlier.
His thoughts were not something Wang Ye had time to consider right now.
Swish, swish-
In the jungle, the rustling of leaves and grass was heard as their camouflage suits brushed against the vegetation.
Wang Ye was now like a cheetah in the jungle, holding his gun and chasing after the armed helicopter in the sky at incredible speed.
They weren’t too far apart, and just a few minutes after Wang Ye started sprinting at full speed, he saw the guy up ahead who was almost driven crazy by the armed helicopter.
The armed helicopter in the sky had never stopped its calls. In fact, while shouting, the machine gun on board occasionally fired a few rounds of 12.7mm large-caliber bullets towards the fleeing people below, even though it didn’t aim at them. Nevertheless, this significantly slowed down their escape.
“Stop!”
Wang Ye caught up to the man and shouted.
Of course, it didn’t do much. The man only glanced back at Wang Ye before continuing to accelerate in terror. He didn’t dare to raise his gun at Wang Ye like the first one did earlier.
However, not opening fire didn’t mean Wang Ye would be polite.
He shouted once but didn’t stop. The next moment, Wang Ye raised his gun and fired a burst.
He didn’t hit the target; when Wang Ye fired, the man had just moved behind a large tree.
The Type 05 bullets couldn’t penetrate the tree.
But the man quickly emerged from behind the tree. He didn’t stop at all.
The man who had been scared out of his wits was now nowhere near as imposing as when he had charged at Yan Zhiming and the others earlier.
He held a handgun in his hand, but it seemed like he had forgotten about it, focusing solely on running away.
“Puff, puff-”
Gunshots rang out once more.
This time, he wasn’t as lucky as before. His whole body stiffened, then he collapsed to the ground.
Wang Ye didn’t aim specifically for his legs this time. He already had a live captive, and whether this one survived or not depended on his luck.
Clearly, luck was not on his side.
As he fell, Wang Ye saw a bullet hit the back of his head.
Even so, Wang Ye continued to approach with a cold expression.
It wasn’t until he was about seven to eight meters away, and he could clearly see the man lying on the ground with wide-open eyes, blood oozing from the back of his head, that Wang Ye finally relaxed.
Holding his gun, Wang Ye sat down right where he was.
The battle was over.
During the pursuit just now, Jiang Nan had switched frequencies on his earpiece to inquire about the situation and also gave updates on the other team members.
Out of the three they were pursuing, one had dropped his weapon and surrendered, one had been shot dead, and one had been hit but was still alive.
That, along with the one Wang Ye had disabled earlier, made up the full picture of their encounters.
Out of the five individuals they were pursuing, three were still alive.
“Wang Ye, is everything alright?”
Coming from behind, the staff officer arrived a bit late. At first glance, he saw Wang Ye sitting on the ground, and he was immediately shocked, thinking that Wang Ye had been injured.
“I’m fine!” Wang Ye looked at him and shook his head slowly.
“You scared me!” Hearing Wang Ye speak, the staff officer’s tense heart relaxed.
Then, he looked at the figure lying about seven to eight meters away in a pool of blood.
With just one look, he felt his eyelids twitch, and he turned his head away.
Feeling a bit uneasy.
He was a veteran, but veterans in peacetime rarely had experiences like this.
Before long, Jiang Nan also arrived.
After examining the scene and confirming that the person ahead had been shot dead, he turned to Wang Ye and the staff officer and said, “Let’s go, take me to the location of your first target!”
“Lieutenant, isn’t there another group? Should we go support them?” Wang Ye asked in response.
He hadn’t forgotten about the other group of criminals.
In fact, the helicopter in the sky had flown away to support them right after Wang Ye shot this person.
Jiang Nan looked at him and said, “If needed, the higher-ups will send us in. Wang Ye, stay calm. It’s right to kill the enemy for revenge, but don’t let anger cloud your judgment.”
Wang Ye was briefly taken aback.
Then, he lowered his head in silent reflection.
He realized that he had indeed let his emotions get the better of him earlier.
“Exhale-”
He took a deep breath.
The next moment, Wang Ye looked up at Jiang Nan again.
“Squad Leader, after this mission is over, I’d like to request some time off.”
Jiang Nan was still looking at Wang Ye, and when he heard this, he nodded directly. “Okay.”
He knew why Wang Ye wanted the time off.
This reason was something he couldn’t refuse.
“Alright, get up!” He reached out his hand.
Wang Ye grabbed his hand, allowed himself to be pulled up, and then, along with the staff officer, headed back in the direction they had come from to find the individual whose limbs Wang Ye had disabled.
“Mission completed, gained two skill points.”
Several minutes later, in the woods, Wang Ye had been tending to the criminal who had been shot in all four limbs by him.
Suddenly, a notification sound from the system rang in his mind.
Wang Ye was momentarily stunned, then he let out a sigh.
He knew that the situation on the other side had also been resolved.
As expected, less than half a minute later, with a transport plane flying overhead, the voice of the chief of staff came over everyone’s earpieces.
“Jiang Nan, what’s the situation on your side?”
“Report…” Jiang Nan responded via the earpiece.
“Chief, is it over on your end?” After reporting the situation on their side, Jiang Nan also asked.
“Yes, it’s over. One person killed, one injured, and the rest were all captured alive.”
Although the group on the other side was larger, they were actually less formidable than the group they had encountered here.
The group here consisted of fugitives from the Golden Triangle.
On the other side, the group was made up of domestic criminals. When the helicopter caught up to them, over a dozen of them voluntarily dropped their weapons and knelt during the initial rounds of warnings and gunfire to intimidate them.
Only a few dared to run.
However, these few who tried to escape, when pursued by the reconnaissance troops, mostly didn’t put up much resistance and, seeing the futility of their actions, chose to immediately drop their weapons, crouch down, and surrender..
