Chapter 1641: The Attacking Female Soldier
After climbing up the slope, Li Jinnian immediately released his grip. Then, he made a prostrating gesture at Ye Jian. He pulled out a bush that was pressing on the snow and slowly bent his back.
According to the a.n.a.lysis of the combat map, less than 300 meters away from them was the first intersection of the two teams.
Li Jinnian used the snow and bushes as a cover and carefully used his binoculars to observe the situation in front. The mountain was quiet. Everything was silent. Occasionally, snow would fall from the trees and make m.u.f.fled sounds. In the blink of an eye, it would calm down again.
Ye Jian bent her back and squatted beside him. She said softly, “Q King will not let go of the chance to kill our soldiers. If he arrived before us, he would have laid an ambush and would be waiting for us to enter the net.”
There was only a white world in the telescope. There was no abnormality. However, the more she didn’t notice anything, the more it meant that something was wrong.
Li Jinnian lowered his head and slowly moved his body so that he was completely hidden behind the bushes. He crawled to Ye Jian’s side. “It’s normal. If it was me, I wouldn’t let go of the chance to destroy the other party’s forces.”
Li Jinnian turned on the communication device and contacted the team members behind him. “We will move forward in a net formation. Maintain a distance of ten meters between each team. Big Shark, your team will rush to the final stronghold. Our team will stay behind. The two scouts will not move.”
Then, he said to Ye Jian, “Go with the scout. You will be one step behind Big Shark and the rest.”
At this moment, Azure Bird was the main target of the opposite team. How could Q King allow someone familiar with his team alive? Their first target was definitely Azure Bird.
Ye Jian knew why this was the case. However, she had her own thoughts too.
Since she was already targeted, avoiding them was not a good idea. Besides, she didn’t have the habit of hiding. On the battlefield, offense was always the best defense.
Ye Jian sighed softly and expressed her opinion. “Since it’s a hunting mission, Demon King, I don’t plan to avoid it. Let’s face it head-on.”
She rarely expressed her opinion while executing her orders. Now that she had opened her mouth, it meant that she had thought about it carefully. Li Jinnian pursed his thin lips and paused for a few seconds before saying, “If you’re not worried about being captured, you can continue following me.”
They had captured a member of the Snow Region Brigade previously. The other party would definitely take revenge. Azure Bird was their target.
Ye Jian didn’t hesitate and chose to act.
On the snow, a few sparrows were jumping around happily. Their light bodies became the only vivid scenery in the snow. There were also small claw marks left behind.
Xia Jinyuan used a tree branch to pick out the snow under his military boots to make it easier to act later.
“Q King, there’s a situation.” White Crane’s voice came from the earpiece. It was low and contained excitement. “There’s movement. We didn’t waste half an hour guarding.”
Half an hour ago, the Snow Region Brigade arrived at the first intersection and laid an ambush.
“J5, I’ll leave Azure Bird to you.” Xia Jinyuan threw the tree branch into the bushes. The sound of snow falling covered his tracks.
A few disguised figures flashed past the white world. They were as light as birds flying in the snow. They disappeared silently.
Ye Jian leaned against the tree trunk behind her and panted softly. She turned on her communication device and contacted her team members. “Five minutes or so. It’s about time.” White Crane and Pigeon were scouts. Xia Jinyuan once told her that they were like fish in the water as long as they were in the snow. It wasn’t easy for her to pa.s.s under their radar.
