Under the hazy night sky in the dense forest, everyone continued hunting down Bloodsuckers one by one, akin to Soul Hookers in the night reaping lives. The incessant sound of sniper rifles and screams spread far, evoking terror. Under a large tree, Luo Zheng watched the approaching Bloodsucker reinforcents alertly. There seed to be more than thirty of them, and the Bloodsuckers inside the pocket formation had yet to be completely eliminated. What should be done?
Having to spit out what was already in one's mouth was a painful and unavoidable choice. Luo Zheng was extrely annoyed but had to face this decision. Once the pursuers arrived, they not only couldn't finish off those inside the pocket formation but would also suffer pursuit from the Bloodsucker reinforcents. Luo Zheng angrily whispered, "Brothers, retreat, catch up with the main force." Saying this, he stood up, holding a sniper rifle, crouched down, and began maneuvering sideways.
Everyone received the retreat order but did not imdiately withdraw. Instead, they seized the opportunity to fire a shot, then stealthily donned night vision devices and retreated, maneuvering sideways, and sprinting madly in the direction of the main force's retreat. The visibility in the forest was very low. During the ambush, they had sniper scopes with night vision, but during the retreat, they had to use night vision devices to pave the way.
Luo Zheng ran through the woods at a deliberately slow pace, intending to stay at the back of the team as a precaution. Soon, Luo Zheng noticed a familiar figure flash in the woods ahead, it was Mountain Eagle. He called out through the earpiece and caught up, the two proceeded one on each side.
The ambush earlier caught the pursuers off guard, and the Bloodsuckers wouldn't catch up soon. They must withdraw quickly, the further the better. Everyone sprinted all the way, more people gathered and ran along the clues and footprints left by Lan Xue, stretching out a series of dark shadows in the dense forest under the night.
An hour later, everyone caught up with the main force. The team continued on its way. Led by Hook, they crossed a river and marched rapidly along the mountain ridge. As dawn broke, they arrived at the place where they had rested last ti, also the agreed eting place with Lang Sen. The troops stopped to rest.
Lang Sen hadn't arrived. Considering the ti, it was only three days, not quite enough, but compared to the confusion last ti, they obtained the activation device, yet the situation was even more severe. Last ti, they only faced the Bloodsuckers, but this ti, aside from dealing with the enraged Bloodsuckers, they also faced an alliance ford by nine forces. Luo Zheng even suspected that the Bloodsuckers might join the alliance, fighting for their own honor.
The rcenaries' belongings were snatched, leaving them unable to mix in the rcenary world in the future. For survival, for honor, the Bloodsuckers had no choice. Considering this problem, Luo Zheng's face turned grave, he glanced at teammates sitting on the ground resting, then looked at the rising sun, a hint of worry found its way into his sharp eyes.
"Cheng He's injury has stabilized, but unless treated promptly, it will still be troubleso." Lan Xue walked over, sat beside Luo Zheng, and said softly.
"After daybreak, I'll find so herbs to see. He got injured saving Ghost Hand, we must save him. Also, so of our brothers are injured. Are they serious? Three of Hook's n sacrificed themselves, five are injured, we need to handle the wounded quickly." Luo Zheng whispered.
"Their wounds have been bandaged to stop the bleeding, but they face the sa issue as Cheng He, requiring imdiate treatnt." Lan Xue said helplessly, glanced at the newly risen sun, her expression eased a bit, and continued, "After daybreak, we'll confirm the activation device imdiately. If it's fine, we'll destroy it, we can march lightly and possibly shake off the pursuers."
"That's all we can do, let's wait and see." Luo Zheng said helplessly.
Not far away, Hook was having a low conversation with his people, looking solemn. Luo Zheng stood up, ca beside Hook, sat down, and said, "Old friend, I'm sorry for causing such a loss, I'll find herbs soon to apply on them, might be useful."
"Herbs? We know so treatnt thods ourselves, we'll manage after daybreak, don't worry. As for the loss, in war, how can there be no casualties? We're fine, learned a lot from this fight, compared to you all, our strength is indeed lacking." Hook said sowhat emotionally.
"I noticed you've been seeking advice from my brothers on tactics and combat skills whenever free. I'll have them teach you so real stuff as thanks." Luo Zheng said gratefully.
"Really? That's great." Hook replied joyfully, agreeing quickly. For the natives surviving in the prival forest long-term, physical fitness wasn't a problem, they also had the battle managent experience but lacked scientifically advanced combat techniques and training. If soone taught them, their combat effectiveness would improve swiftly. Luo Zheng understood this issue, Hook did too, Luo Zheng's promise excited Hook imnsely. After sharing with those around him, everyone got excited.
Luo Zheng smiled gratefully, called Ghost Hand over, gave so instructions, Ghost Hand agreed wholeheartedly. Luo Zheng checked the wounds of other brothers, one nad Lei Jian was the most seriously injured. When Mountain Eagle ford the action team initially, he chose five from the original Ghost Team, including Zhou Gang. The remaining five were brought over by Zhou Gang, including Lei Jian who was brought by Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan served as Squad Leader in the Grand Military Region Special Forces, Lei Jian as Vice Squad Leader. The duo worked together for half a year, were compatible in temperant, and capable. When Wu Yuan ca to join Luo Zheng, explained to Lei Jian, Lei Jian agreed imdiately.
"Brother, hang in there, I'll get so herbs for you soon. As long as I'm here, King of Hell won't take your life, trust , trust yourself, our lives are in our own hands only, the enemy can't take them, not even King of Hell. If anyone tries, we brothers will fight them to death." Luo Zheng said seriously, checking Lei Jian's wound and instructing.
"Yes." Lei Jian replied gratefully. As a Special Forces soldier, Lei Jian knew he owed Wu Yuan a lot for joining the forrly mysterious National Blade Special Team, now the Strategic Bureau Special Service Departnt. In terms of ability, Lei Jian knew he couldn't match Wu Yuan, and compared to Squad Leader Mountain Eagle, Wu Yuan was even further behind. Mountain Eagle often said, in front of the Deputy Squad Leader, no sniper exists.
Now, with the Deputy Squad Leader praised by Squad Leader Mountain Eagle showing concern for his injury, Lei Jian felt sowhat embarrassed. Although they had spent very little ti together, Lei Jian had heard many legends about Luo Zheng, mostly from old partner Wu Yuan, more from Mountain Eagle. In his eyes, Luo Zheng was a legend, a soldier role model who went from an ordinary soldier to an Elite Soldier King in just two years.
"Brothers, rest well. I still count on you to fight side by side." Luo Zheng said sincerely.
"Yes." The wounded replied gratefully, a rush of blood surged, making their dim eyes sharp again.
Lan Xue noticed how Luo Zheng raised everyone's morale with just a few words and smiled with satisfaction. As a strong individual, Lan Xue possessed her pride and dignity, as a woman, she dared to stand behind Luo Zheng, silently supporting and contributing, without complaint or regret. But thinking of the nurous formidable enemies surrounding them, Lan Xue's expression grew solemn.
