Chapter 8 – Battle to Capture the Flag
Who knows where Ye Tianming took out a toothpick from, which he held in his mouth, as he said proudly, “Of course, haven’t you thought of who I am, I am a genius, a unique genius in all of the world.”
Everyone else was speechless, and shook their heads helplessly. “Depressing, truly depressing, why did we meet such a shameless person. It was just a little praise and he got full of himself.”
As they gradually entered the depths of the jungle, the military searchlight could not s.h.i.+ne through any further, the jungle was pitch dark. Since they had no other methods, they could only put on their night vision goggles.
Suddenly, Ye Tianming felt a sense of a danger as his guts jumped, so he raised his hand to signal for everyone to stop. Then, he gently laid down, putting his ear onto the ground, then carefully listened for a while. There was a faint breathing sound seventy meters in front, this skill was something he learnt when he was practicing martial arts with his grandpa when he was young, his grandpa taught him the art of listening to the earth, which allowed him to hear the sounds of wild cats walking within a hundred-meter radius clearly.
Ye Tianming quietly crawled up from the floor, then squatted down, and dug up the gra.s.s on the ground as if searching for something. Ye Tianming suddenly smiled, then reached his hand into the bush, a thin metal string was picked out with his fingers. He followed the metal string towards the right, and arrived underneath a tree, a Type 92 pistol was tightly tied there using tape, the metal string wrapped a circle around the trigger, then followed the tree trunk all the way to the top of the tree, through the night vision goggles, a large net made of steel strings was hung there. This type of net made of steel strings couldn’t be cut through even with the sharpest military dagger.
The moment you trip the metal string, that net will fall down, at the same time, the gun will also be triggered, Even if it doesn’t kill you, due to a soldier’s instants, you will immediately crouch down after hearing a gunshot. That would mean that even if you want to dodge that net, you wouldn’t be able to do it in time.
Ye Tianming swore quietly, “So sinister, a pistol and a net is not enough. They actually sent a sniper to keep watch, and finish any ones not caught with a shot.”
Ye Tianming stood up, showed his teammates a hand gesture, telling them there a sniper in the 9 o’clock direction.
Then he slowly retreated with his teammates, when they arrived at the safe zone, Zhou Jiang asked, “How did you know where the trap was, and you even knew that there’s a sniper in front.”
Ye Tianming said proudly, “How did I know there’s a sniper? That’s my unique skill, I practiced martial arts and qigong with grandpa since a young age. It was him who thought me the art of listening to the earth. I can hear any sound within a hundred-meter radius. As for that trap, it was predicted through the number of enemies. Think, it’s just one person, no matter how amazing he is, it’s impossible for him to take care of all of us, that would cause him to be very pa.s.sive, and will cause him to get into danger. A smart person wouldn’t do this, unless he’s a.s.sa.s.sinating someone. However, he’s just lying there, he’s not like a master at a.s.sa.s.sination. Then there’s just one possibility, he’s a sniper, and also a very good kind of sniper. Thus, I predicted that there must be a trap, if the trap doesn’t catch all of us, he will shoot and get rid of those of us that escaped.”
Zhang Haijun asked, “Then what should we do, go around it?”
Ye Tianming chuckled evilly and said, “No, the game has only just started, how could we go around him. I will do him in, and let him know how strong I, Ye-daye, is. He actually dared to block my path.”
Ye Tianming led his teammates around the trap, and came up behind the back of the sniper. They approached slowly without making a sound, then finally stopped twenty meters away from the sniper.
Ye Tianming gave a signal for his teammates to scatter, then he leaped underneath a tree, and reached out his hand to grab a branch that was four to five meters away from the ground. His arm used some force, and he forcefully flew up with the elasticity of the branch, lightly landing on the that tree branch.
Ye Tianming surveyed his surroundings, and got a clear view of where the sniper was laying in ambush. He kicked downwards, and the branch bounced up, sending him on top of another tree. He jumped like this several times, and arrived on top of the sniper.
Looking at the sniper lying there without noticing him, that kind of evil smile appeared on Ye Tianming’s face again.
Suddenly, a poisonous snake with the thickness of a thumb approached the sniper. Ye Tianming quickly spit the toothpick that was in his mouth out, the toothpick pierced through the snake’s head barely any sound, nailing it onto the ground. The snake’s body wiggled around, then slowly calmed.
Seeing that, Ye Tianming leaped off from the tree, stretched out his limbs in mid air, and with a “peng” sound, he landed flatly on a camouflage net. A terrible scream resounded through the night sky, followed by lecherous laughter.
Everyone that was nearby that heard this sound were all thinking, “I wonder who it was that got this unlucky, meeting a h.o.m.os.e.xual and got raped. Ai, so pitiful.”
Ye Tianming laid on top of the person, the combat knife on his throat, he said proudly, “Hey! Bro, you’re eliminated. You’re quite daring, you actually dare to ambush us by yourself, yet you don’t look at who I am.”
The person underneath him grumbled, “Bro, you’re fierce, f.u.c.k, you nearly squashed me to death, why aren’t you getting up.”
