"Take his weapon, retreat!" Luo Zheng calmly ordered. Their identity and position were already exposed; after forcing the enemy to their limits, their companions could co for revenge at any ti. Luo Zheng couldn't afford to be careless and decided to leave the area for safety. Ghost Hand rushed up and picked up the enemy's weaponry, and Luo Zheng looked towards the three o'clock direction, where the hunted person had retreated, potentially leading to unexpected gains. He led everyone in that direction.
Soon, they rendezvoused with Mountain Eagle and the others. Mountain Eagle arranged for Zhou Gang to lead the way while he and Luo Zheng followed at the back of the group. In a low voice, he said, "We found three dead bodies along the way, all killed by the sniper, with different weapons and clothes. It could be the Bloodsucker, and the ones you surrounded earlier might be from Pot Lid Head. Pot Lid Head is hunting Bloodsucker, and we happened to stumble upon it."
"That's quite possible. However, let's wait for Lan Xing's findings." Luo Zheng casually said, his gaze coldly fixed ahead as they quickly jogged forward in the moonlight. Wearing night vision devices, they resembled Death Gods erging from hell.
After rushing for half an hour, they stopped at a mountain ridge. Mountain Eagle arranged for security, setting up sentries while Luo Zheng and the others found places to sit and rest. Moonlight scattered through the gaps in the leaves, swaying with the breeze, dancing on the ground like little elves, extraordinarily beautiful, but unfortunately, no one was in the mood to look.
"It's been identified." At this mont, Lan Xing's voice sounded in their earpieces.
"What's the situation?" Luo Zheng quickly asked.
"Facial recognition and skull identification confirm the individual is a mber of the Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group, Bill, from Sam Country's Los Angeles, with the rank of Lieutenant, a sniper. How about you all, are you alright?" Lan Xing hastily said.
"We're fine." Lan Xue said as she noticed Luo Zheng in thought, "It seems that Pot Lid Head is indeed hunting Bloodsucker. Can we find out how many people Pot Lid Head deployed this ti? Where is Bloodsucker distributed?"
"Special satellites have been mobilized for assistance. Later, I can provide more intelligence support. From the information gathered, Pot Lid Head deployed a ten-man team this ti, two squads rged together, showing the level of concern. Previously, Pot Lid Head conducted missions with five-man squads." Lan Xing quickly explained.
"Ten people? Judging by the gunshots earlier, there should be five or six left. Could the others have been killed? If that's the case, Bloodsucker indeed lives up to being one of the top four teams in the rcenary world." Ghost Hand remarked nearby.
Pot Lid Head is strong, and more importantly, reinforcents could arrive at any mont. Bloodsucker's combat power is also impressive, the specific number unknown, but definitely not small. Otherwise, they wouldn't be nad a rcenary Group instead of a rcenary. With only fifteen people, can we win? How should we fight to win?
Everyone fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Hong ihua's voice sounded in their earpieces: "Should we transfer the other two action squads there too? Though Pot Lid Head is small in number, Bloodsucker has a lot more people, and we can't ignore that?"
"Not for now. What we need to do is to avoid confrontation. Let Sam Country's Pot Lid Head and Bloodsucker fight to the death, and we will reap the benefits as fishern. Lan Xing, find a way for us to avoid nearby enemies and find a place to hide." Luo Zheng calmly suggested.
"Makes sense. We hide and stay in the shadows, let them fight, then make our move. Snatching the starting device is the top priority. Once we get it, we retreat imdiately." Lan Xue imdiately agreed.
With the general strategy set, everyone quietly rested, waiting for daybreak. Mountain Eagle was in charge of the watch schedule, and Luo Zheng rested at ease.
Ti passed second by second, and unknowingly dawn arrived. The first rays of sunlight fell through the leaves onto everyone, flickering like dancing butterflies. Luo Zheng slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the resting people nearby, then the rising sun, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone, let's get moving and find sothing to eat."
"I'll take care of it," Ghost Hand readily agreed and hurried off.
"The situation has beco complicated. Do you have any thoughts?" Lan Xue asked softly, sitting back-to-back with Luo Zheng.
"Hmm, we need to find Bloodsucker's lair." Luo Zheng replied quietly.
"We seem to need more intelligence." Lan Xue whispered in response.
"Yes. The most important thing is to find out where Bloodsucker's lair is, second, whether Cheng He is a mber of Bloodsucker, and third, Pot Lid Head's next plan. If we don't clarify these three things, our subsequent actions must be cautious. With our current strength, facing either Pot Lid Head or Bloodsucker head-on would an mutual destruction. There's no need for aningless sacrifices. The best move is to find Bloodsucker's lair and hide, observing the fight from a safe distance." Luo Zheng said, his eyes showing a confident battle spirit in the sunlight.
"That's true, but finding Bloodsucker's lair won't be easy," Lan Xue agreed.
"No worries, we'll play by ear. As long as the starting device is in Bloodsucker's hands, there's still a chance for us." Lan Xue mused aloud.
While they were talking, Ghost Hand and the others made a bonfire and started roasting so wild rabbits. At this mont, Mountain Eagle said grimly, "So unusual circumstances found: two dead bodies wearing jungle camo without weapons or identification, not even dog tags. They might be Bloodsucker mbers, but they look like Yellow Race people."
"Any footage?" Luo Zheng inquired.
"Yes, it's already been sent to Lan Xing," Mountain Eagle responded imdiately. Everyone's helts were equipped with caras; data was transmitted to the headquarters via satellites swiftly.
"Then let's wait for confirmation." Luo Zheng pondered.
While speaking, Lan Xing's voice excitedly chid in through the earpiece: "We've checked. Rember the Special Forces unit Cheng He was part of? They were all wiped out, with no bodies found, except Cheng He who returned injured and later worked as a guard at the research base, eventually becoming an assistant."
"I rember. What's the situation?" Luo Zheng sensed sothing and eagerly pursued.
"Those two dead bodies were mbers of the Special Forces unit Cheng He was in. According to Cheng He's account, they should be dead, but they are alive and died near you. Facial recognition and skull scans match perfectly, confirming their identities." Lan Xing assuredly said.
"So, you an Cheng He's forr team all joined Bloodsucker, and Cheng He himself infiltrated the institute waiting for a chance to act?" Luo Zheng asked incredulously.
"You can say that," Hong ihua's voice suddenly sounded.
"Bang!" A clear gunshot suddenly sounded, shattering the silence of the prival forest. Everyone's expressions slightly changed as they looked at Luo Zheng, eyes reflecting a newfound seriousness.
