Chapter 1642: ‘Hunting’ Operation
The Snow Region Brigade’s target was her. Her target was White Crane or Pigeon. She didn’t have the confidence to kill both of them at once.
Li Jinnian was about five meters away from Ye Jian. The dagger in his hand was ready. He was waiting for the members of the Snow Region Brigade to come.
The wind carried the snow as it whistled over. When it blew on the goggles, it blocked his vision. White Crane, who was wearing a white camouflage uniform, moved carefully. His military boots didn’t make any sound when they stepped on the snow.
He was in charge of reconnaissance. He told his comrades what he saw so that they could take action.
“There’s nothing abnormal ahead. Brothers, be careful of the traps.” White Crane carefully pa.s.sed through the crossfire point and hid behind the trees. From afar, his figure seemed to have merged with the white world. “Push left and bypa.s.s the point where you notice something abnormal.”
As a scout, White Crane had entered the range of the Storm Commando Brigade. His main mission was to go deep into the enemy’s rear and scout all the enemy’s military operations. He would also capture the enemy and obtain information that was beneficial to them.
White Crane and Pigeon didn’t directly hunt their targets. They only needed to provide their comrades with favorable information and scout the other party’s movements. Hence, they didn’t have any offensive missions. On the contrary, they needed to avoid meeting the Storm Commando Brigade.
Therefore, White Crane and Pigeon were more careful and cautious than any other team member to avoid being discovered by the Storm Commando Brigade.
Li Jinnian agreed to let Ye Jian partic.i.p.ate in the ‘hunting’ mission. At the same time, the mission a.s.signed to Ye Jian was to kill or capture a scout from the Snow Region Brigade.
After observation, he realized that Ye Jian’s reconnaissance ability was quite good. They were on par with her shooting skills.
Xia Jinyuan predicted that Ye Jian would definitely partic.i.p.ate in the ‘hunting’ mission. However, he couldn’t predict what Li Jinnian would order Ye Jian. He didn’t expect Ye Jian to have her eyes on White Crane, the scout he sent.
The mountain was very quiet, but the atmosphere was filled with killing intent. The little sparrows playing in the snow seemed to have sensed something and flew away from the forest.
Ye Jian narrowed her eyes and stared at a white figure. She gave her position to Li Jinnian and lowered her voice until it was almost inaudible. “I’ve found the target. He’s about three meters away from me. Cooperate with me.”
“Roger that.”
She received Li Jinnian’s order and heard the other Water Ghost on her earpiece. The three of them laid an ambush for the two of them. Li Jinnian went in to lure the enemy and cooperated with Ye Jian to complete the hunt.
At this moment, the sky was gradually turning dark. It was around 4:30 PM. The cold wind that hurt her face was stronger than before. Her body temperature seemed to be dropping.
Ye Jian, who had merged with the snow, waited quietly for the opportunity to come. Her entire body was buried in the snow. Even as the sky gradually turned dark, as long as she remained still, no one would know that the ‘snow hill’ in the distance was actually Ye Jian’s disguise.
At least White Crane won’t notice it.
However, he was very cautious. After entering the range of the Storm Commando Brigade, he would lurk and observe every meter he walked.
Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters…., four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter. The target was close. Ye Jian held her breath and listened to the sound of military boots stepping on the snow.
White Crane pa.s.sed in front of her. It was less than 50 centimeters away. Ye Jian didn’t move. She couldn’t confirm if there was anyone behind White Crane for the time being. She needed to wait for Li Jinnian and the rest to send a message.
