Chapter 2043: Scattered
“I think we can do that. Pigeon, follow Azure Bird’s arrangements! Weaver will leave in the helicopter. I’ll meet up with you later!” Long Eagle agreed with Ye Jian’s arrangements. When he realized the situation, he didn’t stop. Instead, he continued to run forward with Weaver.
Just like this, the ten special forces soldiers of the Xueyu unit were divided into three groups. Ye Jian, White Crane, and Azalea were in a group. They were responsible for diverting the enemy’s attention to them. Long Eagle and Weaver took turns carrying the sacrificed Fang Gong. Chi Lu and Loach would support the rear and escort Jiang Gong and four other engineers to the helicopter.
Sparrowhawk, Pigeon, and another comrade code-named Blood Swallow, protected the six remaining engineers as they hid among the trees.
At the same time, the sound of helicopter propellers came from above the island again. The members of the Xueyu unit, who were divided into three groups of ten, did not look up. Instead, they split up and worked together to evacuate safely as soon as possible.
The helicopter was loud. It buzzed from above with its very glaring lights as if it was looking for something.
Glancing at the helicopter with its beam above, Ye Jian said to White Crane and Azalea, “When the helicopter turns towards us, we have to let them see us.”
Since they were attracting all the firepower to them, they naturally had to let the other party discover their whereabouts.
When the beam of light flashed past a relatively empty place, the personal bodyguard and a.s.sistant who had been observing the situation below quickly crossed his legs. He whispered to the man who did not look worried at all, “I see our guests from afar.”
“Very well. Tell the men below to entertain the guests from afar.” The man’s eyes were closed the entire time, and he looked rather pleased with himself. “For these disobedient guests, let them enjoy the siege of the sea and send them to see G.o.d.”
Soon, the man’s words reached the ground. The three people illuminated by the beam entered the forest and chose to run in the opposite direction from the other two groups.
Just as they pa.s.sed through a few wild coconut trees, Ye Jian suddenly shouted, “There’s someone ahead!”
In the salty sea breeze blowing from the sea, Ye Jian could smell the scent of cheap cologne. There was not only one but several different types of cologne. The smell was so strong that it was pungent.
The three of them quickly went behind the leaves and saw a few people slowly approaching through their night vision goggles.
“Three just before 12, two at 10, three at two… These people must have come up from the beach. Looks like they just arrived. Their pants are wet.”
Ye Jian, who was observing them, said softly. There was no need to be too loud. The earpiece could clearly transmit her words to her comrades.
“I have all the good weapons with me. I’m in charge of the area at two o’clock, Azure Bird is in charge of the area at 10 o’clock, and White Crane is in charge of the area at 12 o’clock. I haven’t figured out how many of them there are. Let’s go in the dark first.” Azalea’s lips moved as he moved closer to two o’clock.
Ye Jian brought out the silver wire and slowly leaned against a tree, waiting for the target to approach.
The silver wire wrapped around the target’s neck silently like a snake hiding in the leaves, strangling him tightly before pinning him to the tree trunk.
Ye Jian stepped on the tree trunk with one foot and tightened the silver wire… The man in front of the tree trunk stomped his feet a few times before becoming very silent.
The other target with him didn’t notice anything strange. All he could see was his companion’s back pressed against the tree and his feet kicking… as if he was trying to kick something off the bottom of his shoe.
