Half an hour later, everyone stopped on a hillside covered with towering trees and lush green leaves. Even satellites would find it difficult to detect the people hidden on the ground. Luo Zheng quickly called for Mountain Eagle and said seriously, "Brother, that person should be from the Pot Lid Head of Sam Country. You take soone back and keep an eye on them. If reinforcents arrive, eliminate them and report imdiately. If the enemy bleeds out and dies, retreat at once and stay safe."
"Yes." Mountain Eagle imdiately agreed, handed over the squad to the deputy captain's command, and left with ng Zhu.
"What do you think?" Lan Xue asked softly.
"Are you asking about the credibility of the intelligence from the person just now?" Luo Zheng contemplated and countered, seeing Lan Xue nod, he continued, "Just as he said, using us to attack the Bloodsucker, and after both sides are weakened, his reinforcents arrive. From this angle, it is very credible, and we don't have any other clues. Let's see, after everyone eats so dry food, we'll set off."
Everyone found a place to hide, quickly disappearing into the jungle, almost impossible to find without a careful search. Luo Zheng sat under a big tree, wearing a camouflage suit, which at first glance looked like a bush, slowly chewing on dry food, pondering various possibilities and the next plan with a calm gaze.
After more than ten minutes, Mountain Eagle's report ca through the earpiece in a low voice: "The target is dead. Afterwards, a squad of ten suddenly appeared, seemingly their companions, collecting and burying the body."
"Oh? Keep a close eye, be careful not to expose yourself." Luo Zheng quickly instructed, looking at Lan Xue and smiling, "We don't have to worry anymore. They will lead us there. Since this team appeared after the person died, it ans they are unaware of our existence. We can use the old thod, following behind them to act as the opportunity arises."
"Sounds good." Lan Xue decisively agreed.
About ten minutes later, a ssage ca from Mountain Eagle over the earpiece that the squad was heading south, moving fast. Luo Zheng, hearing this, knew the person hadn't lied, imdiately told Mountain Eagle to keep up with them and stay in touch, and led his own squad to catch up. After a few more minutes, Luo Zheng saw the marks left by Mountain Eagle.
Following the marks, they continued the forced march until midday. The enemy ahead showed no sign of stopping. Mountain Eagle ssaged that they slowed down, eating as they walked. Luo Zheng also ordered the team to slow down, eating as they walked, keeping a certain distance behind them.
What Luo Zheng didn't expect was that the enemy ran until nightfall, only then stopping to rest, maintaining their pace throughout. Their stamina was astonishing. If the group hadn't just entered the fight not long ago and still had ample energy, they wouldn't have been able to keep up with the enemy's speed.
Luo Zheng ordered the team to stop and rest, forbidding any fires to avoid exposure. Fortunately, they traded for lots of jerky with a small cart, enough for everyone to indulge for two to three days. They ate and drank to fullness, arranged dark and bright sentries, and each settled to rest. A whole day's forced march had consud everyone's stamina. Unlike the enemy, they had also carried more captured weapons and ammunition, expending even more energy.
After resting for about half an hour, Mountain Eagle quietly approached and sat next to Luo Zheng, lowering his voice, "Left a watch on them, those guys are very alert, no chance for a night attack, their stamina is full, speed very fast, probably also the Pot Lid Head Special Warfare Group."
"Very likely, we can't alert them. Let's be the oriole that catches them." Luo Zheng advised.
"Understood." Mountain Eagle, who had originally been worried Luo Zheng might attempt a night attack, rushed over to dissuade him, relaxed upon hearing this, and continued, "They're carrying military radios, maintaining contact with the outside world. Rushing their journey like this, could it be they have sothing urgent to handle?"
"That's possible, but what could it be?" Luo Zheng responded with suspicion.
"Hard to say." Mountain Eagle shook his head with a bitter smile, "I'll keep watch ahead."
"Be careful." Luo Zheng casually replied.
In a few leaps, Mountain Eagle disappeared into the forest, silent in his movents, like a leopard. Lan Xue glanced in the direction where Mountain Eagle vanished and whispered, "Whether it's Pot Lid Head or Bloodsucker, they're very strong. Our strength may not be enough, what do you think?"
"Too many uncertainties, let's just observe for now." Luo Zheng said with a serious expression, deep in thought.
After chatting for a while, they gradually fell asleep. By the ti it was deep into the night, Mountain Eagle sent a ssage that the enemy was marching again through the night. Luo Zheng hadn't expected this urgency from the squad, so he had to lead his team to chase after them to avoid falling behind. Luckily, they all had Night Vision Devices, marching throughout most of the night, stopping only after dawn the next day to rest.
Luo Zheng hid his team in a dense forest, sitting under a big tree to eat dry food and replenish energy while pondering the reason for the enemy's hasty journey. Could it be a ti-sensitive task, or had sothing happened at Bloodsucker's headquarters that required them to speed up and handle?
After thinking for a while without finding any clues, finishing his dry food, news ca again from Mountain Eagle that the enemy was on the move again. Luo Zheng looked up at the sun in the sky, sensing that sothing might have happened. Otherwise, there was no need for them to rush so desperately; even if they reached Bloodsucker's headquarters, they'd be exhausted with no combat strength. What event could drive them to such urgency?
The team continued their march, not stopping until midday, just slowing their pace slightly, eating as they walked. Without any option, Luo Zheng had to imitate them. Seeing the weary team, he frowned with worry, just about to order a rest, when suddenly Mountain Eagle's urgent voice ca through the earpiece: "A squad appeared, Sam Country's army took out their scouts and retreated swiftly."
"Who are they? How many?" Luo Zheng was shocked and quickly inquired.
"About thirty or so, well-equipped, they all seem extraordinary, spreading out searching for clues. Sam Country's army took the opportunity to maneuver away, appearing to continue forward." Mountain Eagle quickly explained.
"Follow Sam Country's army, we'll also maneuver up there." Luo Zheng imdiately decided, ordering the team to catch up, his heart filled with suspicions, wondering why such a well-equipped squad suddenly appeared here. Could it be Bloodsucker? If so, what are they doing out here, going after Sam Country's military?
Thinking of this, Luo Zheng suddenly had an idea and imdiately ordered his team to stop, instructing Mountain Eagle, "Catch up with Sam Country's army, then fire shots to lead that squad to follow, let them fight among themselves, be careful, and retreat quickly to regroup."
"Yes." Mountain Eagle responded with murderous intent.
