There was danger ahead. She couldn’t go straight ahead. She should take a roundabout route.

Individual combat without support was quite dangerous. When one encountered danger, one could only rely on one’s own ability to solve it. When one encountered difficulties, one could only rely on oneself to solve them. It was impossible for anyone else to give instructions, let alone appear in times of danger.

Ye Jian knew very well that she had to be extremely careful. She instinctively realized the danger here and immediately changed her direction. She stopped moving forward and circled around.

With the help of FELIN’s equipment, Ye Jian kept her rifle up. Through her night-vision goggles, she searched for targets in the monochrome green world.

Weaver’s voice came through the headset. “35 degrees north, south-easterly wind… Pilot code-named Weaver is flying Bell 407 at 11:20 local time.”

“Roger, copy! Take off now!”

“Leaving at 11:23 local time. Wishing for a good takeoff.”

Weaver was finishing the conversation with Pigeon. The rest of the team listened to the exchange with faint smiles on their lips.

“Sh*t, that’s our helicopter. Did the guy who flew it take off? Damn it! Where did they all go? Doesn’t anyone know what’s happening?”

A bearded man cursed on his phone. He pulled out several phones in a row, and with each call he made, he cursed the person who answered.

“Who the hell took the chopper?! Get your asses over there and see what’s going on! Damn it! You’re going to die a horrible death. If you piss off the boss, you’re all going to die horrible deaths!”

Even the helicopter was being flown away. He didn’t need to remind the others. They knew it wouldn’t be easy to answer to their boss if things got ugly.

“I know we’re going to die horribly, but that includes you! If you have the time to scold us, you might as well go over there and find out what’s going on! And we’re not familiar with the pilot of the helicopter! Goodbye!”

A man who answered the call was scolded until his face was ashen. He returned the scolding, being equally rude.

Bang bang bang bang…

Someone fired directly at the departing helicopter in a vain attempt to shoot it down.

Long Eagle and Pigeon guarded the helicopter until it reached a safe altitude. When they heard the sound of gunfire, the two of them quickly looked at each other and ran toward the location of the gunshots.

Over there, Ye Jian heard someone whispering. She slowly searched around and saw someone lying on a tree through her night-vision goggles.

Above her head, there was the rumbling sound of a helicopter flying past. Ye Jian, who was smiling, pulled the trigger. Accompanied by the series of rumbling sounds, she shot the person hiding in the tree. He fell down.

She only saw one of the three targets. The other two shrunk their necks reflexively when they heard the gunshot. Then, they raised their rifles and fired continuously ahead.

Dense bullets streaked through the air, leaving trails of smoke.

Bang bang bang…

Some bullets hit trees, some hit rocks, and some fell somewhere through the lush leaves.

Ye Jian, who rolled twice and was crawling on the ground, held her breath and waited for the wave of bullets to finish.

“Front! Now!”

Not far away, White Crane and Azalea had heard the gunshots. They came over quickly. In front of them was Azure Bird. It must have been Azure Bird exchanging fire just now!

The gunshots were loud and attracted all the bandits who were still searching in the dark. Ye Jian, who was already surrounded, was exposed by the gunshots and became a group target.

“Over here! Someone else is over here! Damn it! If we don’t get them, we’ll all be in trouble!”
