In the dark forest, Leng Zirui moved forward step by step, slowly. His footsteps were light, his movents nimble like a fox, barely making a sound.
He knew that Tang Ming was not far away.
At this mont, any small mont of carelessness would bring fatal consequences.
Tang Ming was equally aware of this, hidden behind a bush, breathing so lightly and slowly, his heartbeat kept at a low rhythm, yet his eyes were fixed on the scope.
The two were in a standoff, both searching for the other’s flaws.
Just then, the phone in Tang Ming’s pocket suddenly lit up.
The phone was on silent mode; it wouldn’t vibrate, wouldn’t ring, but it still emitted light.
In the pitch-black forest, such light filtered through the fabric, barely noticeable, yet remarkably conspicuous.
Capturing this faint glimr, Leng Zirui imdiately determined Tang Ming’s exact location. He sprang up, pulling the trigger mid-air.
Bang!
The bullet was fired.
As if sensing danger, Tang Ming instinctively shifted his body, feeling a heat on his arm, followed by a burning pain.
The bullet missed his chest’s vital area, piercing into his gun-supporting right arm. Enduring the pain, Tang Ming gripped his gun and stood up, sprinting furiously.
Leng Zirui gave chase, shouting orders into his earpiece.
"Capture him alive!"
Tang Ming was a senior mber of Cobra; capturing him held significant value for cracking Cobra’s upper managent.
His arm was already injured, affecting his shooting. Under the current circumstances, capturing him alive seed possible.
As Leng Zirui pursued Tang Ming, several companions also moved quickly, encircling in Tang Ming’s direction.
Tang Ming charged forward, the acute pain in his arm where the bullet hit causing his breathing to beco uncontrollably rapid and heavy.
Behind him, footsteps drew closer and closer.
He instinctively turned back, raising his gun to shoot.
Leng Zirui kicked swiftly, hitting him right on the elbow. Tang Ming’s sniper rifle flew out of his hand, falling into a bush ahead of him. He staggered back several steps, feeling weightless before plumting downward.
Who would have expected that behind the bushes was a ravine?
Leng Zirui stepped forward two steps, his front foot landing at the ravine’s edge, his body swaying forward. Realizing the danger, he abruptly pulled back.
"Chief!"
Several others quickly caught up.
"Search!" Leng Zirui shouted loudly, "Mountain Cat, get back to the car and contact headquarters. Call for reinforcents and seal off the area within fifty kiloters for a thorough search. This ti, there’s no way we let him get away. Everyone else, get down the mountain and search with all your might. Alive, we want to see him; dead, we need to find his body. Wildcat, give the rope!"
Mountain Cat responded while running uphill, Wildcat threw the rope over, and soone had already taken out a flashlight, inspecting the ravine.
The ravine was not very wide, just over a ter across, but it seed deep. The flashlight’s beam couldn’t reach far, and a night-vision scope sweep revealed no specific details below.
"Chief, the terrain down there is very complex; going down is too risky!" Wildcat loudly reminded.
"I’ll go down directly; you guys find another way down and search!" Leng Zirui had already tied a knot in the rope, hooked it to a tree, took the flashlight thrown by Wild Boar, and leapt into the ravine, gripping the rope.
