There were gunshots from a distance behind, and Ye Jian, whose pupils tightened, whispered, “The chasers are here, Pigeon, let’s go!”
It was originally a secret rescue, but now it had attracted chasers, which undoubtedly disrupted the entire action plan. The Elite Platoon was a special force that had received harsh training. Facing the disruption, they remained extra calm; no one panicked.
Since there were chasers, they had to retreat. Pigeon immediately asked Blue Bird, “The helicopter can only sit seven people, including the pilot. Blue Bird, can you fly a helicopter?”
The engineers and the Elite Platoon, including the sacrificed Fang Gong, had a total of 22 people, but the helicopter could only take up seven people, including the pilot. Pigeon planned to let the female soldier Ye Jian escape first.
But Ye Jian didn’t know how to fly a helicopter, “No, I don’t. Crane, Roadrunner, and I will retreat first. Weaver will catch up with you; let him take the six engineers away first.”
“Ok, sure, take care of yourself! Sparrow, you retreat together with Blue Bird and the others!” Facing Ye Jian’s answer, Pigeon’s eyes darkened a little, and he immediately agreed.
Ye Jian and Crane were originally assaulters; it was better to follow the initial plan.
With the sound of gunshots behind their backs, the atmosphere became tenser. Fortunately, the engineers were also soldiers, so they did not panic because of the gunshots. They followed the special forces who were protecting them across the island and ran forward.
The growth of trees on offshore islands had a common feature. The roots grew and emerged from the ground, winding and twisting on the exposed surface, like octopus tentacles gripping the surface of the ground, and when there was soil, they took root again. The exposed, thick roots of the trees integrated with the ground became obstacles for the engineers to run across.
The members of the Elite Platoon could jump over these stumbling roots easily, but the engineers weren’t as efficient.
After several people were tripped in a row, the speed of the entire evacuation was greatly affected.
The speed was affected, and it was easy to be overtaken by the chasing soldiers. Pigeon thought of Fang Gong, who had already been sacrificed, and gave the arrangements in a bitter voice, “Longhawk, you and Weaver will take turns carrying Fang Gong to the helicopter first. Occupy the helicopter first, quick!”
The helicopter could only take up a total of seven people, including the pilot. The sacrificed Fang Gong and the injured Jiang Gong would definitely go first. The other four people would be decided later on. Now all they had to do was to rush to the helicopter first.
Longhawk, who just handed Fang Gong to Weaver, suddenly looked up to his left side. Just now, he saw the light flashing by.
“There is a situation on the beach; I saw light flashing.” He reminded all his comrades that there were chasing soldiers behind them, and if there was a situation on the beach, it would be even more difficult to escape.
Ye Jian’s face was as deep as water, and her eyes were stern as she said, “The three of us will run to the beach to change their focus on us.”
“Pigeon, you hide the remaining engineers first, then send two team members to guard, and then outflank us from the rear! You must first protect Weaver; let him take off successfully!”
Ye Jian was a commanding cadet. Although she only had one semester, she started to learn the most basic layout of marching operations in her freshman year. As a command cadet, she naturally needed to understand combat arrangements.
Now she did not know how many enemies were there; she only knew that they took all the engineers away, so they were divided into two action groups, one group retreated secretly, the other group attracted all the attention so that all engineers would be protected.
