Chapter 1600: They’re All Special Forces
It was as quiet as death on the mountain. The fire didn’t just burn the trees. It also took away the vitality of this place. Scorched and withered trees were everywhere. When the combat boots stepped on them, the soles of their feet made creaking sounds.
A burnt pheasant was pressed under a bush. Only two feathers were still bright.
Ye Jian and the rest were currently in a certain mountain forest in Sichuan Province. Their location was at the border between the two provinces. There were many resources in the forest. The wild chicken that was burnt by the fire was the precious white-bellied pheasant protected by the country.
Not only were there precious pheasants that were burnt to death but there were also small animals like rabbits. It was obvious how fierce the fire was.
Hiding behind a withered tree, Ye Jian raised her head and looked at a small snake that was burnt until only its tail was left. Her gaze pa.s.sed through the side of the snake and landed somewhere.
“I have discovered a target. Be careful,” she said in a low voice. At the same time, she aimed and fired her first shot of the ‘hostage target’!
Bang!
All the members heard the m.u.f.fled sound of gunshots. The forest, which was originally dead silent, suddenly became more murderous.
The suppressed s.p.a.ce, the smell of burning charcoal, and the gunshots were filled with killing intent. The figures moving behind the scorched trees made the atmosphere in the forest even more tense and suffocating.
The soldier who was shot touched his chest and looked a little stunned.
He lowered his head and looked at the blank cartridge beside his feet. The soldier gritted his teeth angrily and picked up the blank cartridge. He was so angry he wanted to vomit blood!
It wasn’t easy for him to be selected as the ‘bad guy’ who pretended to be a hostage during the compet.i.tion between two top special forces. In the end, he was shot before he could see the mysterious Special Forces soldier!
“Squad leader, one of our brothers, died. I feel so indignant. He was killed in one shot.” A soldier squatted under a pitch-black fir tree that could still grow. He contacted his squad leader in a low voice. “I’m the closest to him. I don’t even know where the bullet came from.”
The squad leader scolded him and consoled him, “It’s normal not to know. They are all Special Forces soldiers. If we know where they are, they shouldn’t create trouble. Fine, why are you still frustrated? Wait for them to come and collect the hostages. Keep a close eye on them. Don’t embarra.s.s our military unit.”
The hostages were disguised soldiers and paper targets.
Not only did Ye Jian and the rest need to complete the hostage shooting, but they also needed to take back the hostage targets. This way, the chances of them being exposed would be much higher. Those soldiers who were disguised could discover them and shoot at them.
The soldier closest to the ‘dead’ brother blinked. He wanted to answer his squad leader, but he couldn’t!
“Don’t move, brother.” A soft voice came from behind him. Then, he felt something cold and hard pressing against his neck. It was the feeling of a dagger.
A Special Forces soldier caught him from behind.
The Special Forces soldier turned off the earpiece, and the communication was cut off. The Special Forces soldier smiled and said, “I won’t waste the blank cartridge. I’m afraid that I will hurt you if I shoot you at a close distance. Anyway, you know that I have to slit your throat.”
