Li Jinnian crouched by a soldier that had just been eliminated, he spoke flatly: “Manpower of two squads, one hostage target each, total twenty men. At this point, there’re still four hostage targets left uneliminated.”
“Don’t look at me; I also don’t know where they’re at.” The young soldier who sat on the ground mumbled quietly; the other guy’s gaze made it hard for him to gaze back. Not only was his gaze icy cold, there was a whiff of killing intent behind them, which would make anyone nervous.
Li Jinnian also wasn’t counting on getting any information from him, similar to Ye Jian, he ejected the magazine out of the assault rifle from the soldier’s hand and placed it aside, he said politely: “You’ve done well.”
“Not really, not really.” The soldier quickly shook his head in reply, his squad leader had asked them to learn a bit, but he hadn’t really understood much. He had no idea where did this guy pop out from, then he was already taken down, eliminated without breaking a sweat.
Special forces soldiers are truly impressive!
They’re still four hostage targets that have yet to be found; two of them were the squad leaders, while the other two were the vice leaders; as the leaders of their squad, the overall abilities of these four were naturally higher than the rest.
“Later, I will act as bait, and I’ll dash in front of them with the target on my back, and no matter if they see you or not, fire a few shots to scout ahead.” The squad leader who wanted to encounter the special forces soldiers the most told his vice leader, and then turned to the other squad leader with the surname ‘Liu,’ “The two of you don’t move, for now, wait for us to fire before moving, and you must wait till you see movement before you act, otherwise, we’ll just have wasted our efforts.”
With that said, this squad leader sighed, “Anyhow, twenty of us came here, so we must show some results and not bring shame to our platoon commander.”
The two squad leaders and vice leaders hid themselves in a trench.
It was a trench that was dug to stop the fire, which prevented the fire from setting another fir mountain aflame; it was one meter deep and thirty meters wide and was basically dug around the entire mountain.
Their hiding spot was good, and the water ghosts wouldn’t discover them any time soon.
It also wasn’t because they intended to hide themselves; this was orders from above.
“Squad Leader Fu, I think it’ll be hard.” Squad Leader Liu replied with a low voice, “There aren’t any more gunshots in the forest, that means all of our men in the forests have been eliminated, time is taken… twenty minutes.”
They didn’t even need half an hour and had already taken out sixteen of their men.
Squad Leader Fu cautiously poked his head outside to take a look, then slowly crouched down, “That’s right, I previously intended to hide myself nearby our men who had been eliminated, and observe the special forces, soldiers, from up close, and the thought had perished as quickly as it came.”
There’s no other reason; he was really worried he’ll be taken out the moment he revealed himself.
“Let’s drag the time out; the platoon commander ordered us here to drag their time out; dragging their time out is also a measure of our abilities.” Squad Leader Fu checked the time, then turned towards Squad Leader Liu: “Disperse, in case they discover us, then the four of us would be captured together.”
“Vice leader, we’ll go to the otherside.” While speaking, he crouched down and led his vice leader towards the other side of the trench.
Within the fir mountain filled with the smell of smoke and soot, the water ghosts started their comprehensive search. They were still looking for the remaining hostage targets; only by finding all the hostage targets would they receive the order to leave.
If their superiors did not give them the order, then that meant they still had hostage targets that have yet to be found.
Li Jinnian didn’t become anxious because of that; at times like these, he needed to be more cool-headed; he bellowed: “Start blanket searching, and finish searching in five minutes!”
