A calm report from the sniper ca through the headset.
Naxin's heart began to race.
The situation that Song Heping anticipated indeed occurred.
He imdiately whispered into the microphone: "All teams, attention, the fox is out, the butcher is accompanying. Act according to the second plan, follow the target vehicle, maintain distance, await my command. Over."
In the darkness, several ghost-like figures moved silently, quickly tracking the off-road vehicle heading deeper into the Gobi Desert using the terrain.
The vehicle stopped in a remote depression.
Around it were only sparse cal thorns and cold stones, with moonlight spilling down like the entrance to hell.
The soldiers dragged Abu You out of the car, with two pressing down on his shoulders from either side, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
Zagros drew his pistol, cocked it with a click, and walked up to Abu You, aiming it at his forehead.
"In your next life, be smarter and don't stand in the way of important people." Zagros wore a cruel grin, his finger tightening on the trigger.
Abu You closed his eyes, his teeth almost grinding to pieces, filled with reluctance in his heart.
To die at the hands of these despicable people...
Unwilling...
Suddenly!
"Whoosh——!"
A slight yet sharp sound of sothing tearing through the air ripped apart the silent night.
Imdiately, with a muffled "thud," a burst of blood suddenly exploded from the center of Zagros's forehead, his expression froze instantly, his body stiffened for a mont, then fell straight backward, the gun slipping from his hand onto the sand.
It was the sniper!
A high-precision sniper rifle equipped with a silencer!
"Enemy attack!"
"It's an ambush!"
The remaining four soldiers imdiately panicked, screaming in terror, raising their rifles in an attempt to find cover and blindly shooting around.
But their reaction was too slow.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Several more precise and deadly shots ca from the darkness.
Two soldiers who had just found a rock for cover fell instantly, one with a bullet in the neck, the other with a burst of blood in the chest.
The third soldier attempted to run to the off-road vehicle for cover, but after just two steps, a bullet accurately drilled into his back.
He fell forward, raising a cloud of dust, never to rise again.
The last soldier was scared out of his mind, instantly losing the will to resist.
He dropped his rifle and raised his hands, screaming in Kurdish: "Don't shoot! I surrender! I su…"
"Whoosh!"
His shout was abruptly cut off, a red dot appeared between his eyebrows, and he fell limply.
The sniper hiding in the dark seed to have received orders to leave no survivors.
Surrender?
No use!
From the first gunshot to the elimination of all targets, the entire process did not exceed ten seconds.
Every action was decisive, efficient, and deadly, demonstrating extre professional military skills of the attackers.
Abu You opened his eyes in shock, witnessing the sudden reversal and the bodies scattered everywhere, montarily unable to react.
In the darkness, several figures clad in desert digital camouflage, with faces painted, and well-equipped, quickly converged like ghosts.
They moved swiftly, displaying tactical proficiency, covering each other as they controlled the scene.
The leader approached Abu You, pulled down his face mask, revealing a familiar face.
"Commander Abu You? I'm Naxin, the commander of the 'Sand Fox' squad. I've been asked to help you."
Naxin extended his hand, pulling the still bewildered Abu You up from the ground.
"Sand Fox? Song Heping's people..."
Abu You imdiately understood, feeling incredibly complicated.
His saviors were the subordinates of the KB Leader who had trapped him in a dead end.
This was indeed an enormous irony.
"It was Mr. Song who anticipated the trouble you would have."
Naxin nodded, confirming his guess, while signaling the team to quickly clear the field and deal with the bodies.
"This is no place to talk; we must leave imdiately."
Abu You looked at the bodies of Zagros and others, a deep hatred and determination flashing in his eyes.
The KPG Committee had issued a kill order on him, completely tearing any pretense, leaving no room for reconciliation.
"Thank you for saving ."
Abu You's voice was a bit hoarse due to excitent and anger.
"I, Abu You, will rember this favor!"
Naxin handed him a satellite phone: "Mr. Song wants to talk to you."
Abu You took a deep breath and accepted the phone.
Though the signal was a bit noisy, the calm voice of Song Heping ca through clearly: "Commander Abu You, my intuition was very accurate. When I saw intelligence about our secret eting online, I knew you would be in trouble."
Abu You smiled wryly: "Mr. Song, you must find our plight amusing... I don't know how to repay this lifesaving grace."
"No need for thanks," Song Heping's tone revealed no emotion, "I just don't want a capable commander to die under their own people's dirty politics. Besides, you're an enemy of the 1515 Ard. We have an old saying in China—the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Helping you also helps ."
He paused and then asked, "In this situation, what are your plans for the future?"
Plans?
Abu You looked at the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert, a wave of desolation and anger surged in his heart.
There's no going back; the KPG and even the entire Northern Illigo no longer have a place for him.
His troops...
Without him, they would soon be devoured, dispersed by Bashir and his people—and their fate would be dire.
He paused for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming sharply, as if making a firm decision: "Mr. Song, my n and I have no path left. If you're still willing to accept us, I and my subordinates are willing to pledge our allegiance to you!"
