A gunshot could be heard, the tattooed man who was just sniped fell backward due to the recoil, the bullet had pierced through his shoulder, and he had hurled his gun up into the air.
He fell down into the fern bushes, then the man’s moaning after being hit by a bullet could be heard.
The pursuing border police had climbed onto a tree, his Type 87 Assault Rifle aimed directly ahead, rapidly searching for the person who had just opened fire.
Ye Jian had already packed up her sniper rifle and swiftly gotten down from the tree.
The man whose shoulder was shot was struggling in the fern bushes, although Ye Jian was absolutely certain the police who were in pursuit was the scout she had seen last night, but she did not reveal herself immediately. Instead, she chose to wrap around and silently approached.
Ye Jian moved closer while being on alert until she reached a distance where the target could hear her conversation with the scout with a lowered voice, she said leisurely: “We’re on the same side.”
Same side? A girl? A female soldier? Why was there a girl here? Female soldier?
Swiftly turning around, the scout aimed towards the sound source, he noticed the tree leaves about two meters away were swaying gently, but no one could be seen.
Ye Jian did not approach; she was still observing, the scout was also doing the same, carefully examining his surroundings, he then lowered his voice as he inquired: “Your troop number?”
“I’ve already seen you guys last night, your captain has the last name Liu, and you’re their scout.” When she was finished, she announced her troop number, basically eliminating more than 80% of the scout’s suspicions.
Then he heard the female soldier’s voice went slightly colder; she calmly stead: “You guys are after an escapee who was still wearing inmate clothes, his name is ‘Brother Hong’, there were four other men beside him. I discovered several corpses that died from gun wounds, they all had the same black tattoo on their neck, otherwise I wouldn’t have opened fire so suddenly.”
The two of them started to approach each other, one went up and watched the right, while the other went down and watched the left until they were in full view of each other.
Ye Jian first saluted at the scout, “I’m currently undergoing a survival training, and unexpectedly stumbled unto your pursuit after Brother Hong, I was worried I’ll raise unneeded suspicions, after leaving behind the last message of Brother Hong might have reinforcements under the tree roots, I did not linger any longer.”
“And when I was resting at night, I encountered you guys as you were passing by, I’ve slept the night, and I didn’t expect your squad to still be in pursuit.”
And with that, the scout rescinded the last 20% of his doubts; he found the temperament that he was familiar with on Ye Jian, one that belongs to a soldier, the biting cold temperament that resembled a steel gun.
Returning Ye Jian’s salute, he wiped away the sweat on his brows; the slightly tanned face revealed a friendly smile, he said: “So it really was a comrade that was doing wilderness survival, we just didn’t expect you to be a female soldier. Thanks a bunch for just now, this guy was a lookout that was about to warn the others, if we hadn’t chased him down, all of our arrangements here would be for nothing…”
He didn’t continue his sentence, with a knowing look, Ye Jian understood.
Ye Jian also didn’t ask about it, every division had their own plans, and she didn’t have the clearance to know about it.
She then pointed at the squirming figure in the fern bush, killing intent arose in her tone as she quietly asked: “Take him out directly? Or are we bringing him back?” Under such circumstances, it was completely okay to eliminate him on the spot to prevent future troubles.
“Take him out, we can’t bring him back.” The scout finished and supplemented another bullet to the squirming figure. Not because they were ruthless people, instead because it was necessary to do this! Giving them mercy is being ruthless to their own people!
Being on opposite sides, naturally, they needed to choose what was most beneficial to their own side.
