After the sun set, the night gradually descended, the bustling city slowly returned to tranquility, the people who had been busy all day hurried ho one after another, streetlights just began to light up, and no one noticed so figures in the suburbs walking towards the direction of the train tracks from all directions. Under the cover of night, each hunched over, carrying a bag, moved quickly. In no ti, they rushed into the bushes on both sides of the tracks to hide, opened their backpacks, took out parts, and in the blink of an eye assembled a gun, containing endless murderous intent, watchfully observing their surroundings.
Luo Zheng also walked up with a backpack, leisurely strolling, looking like soone heading to the countryside for leisure, accompanied by Niu Gang. The two gradually approached the vicinity of a high-voltage line iron fra, stopped in a low bushy area, checked around, and after confirming they hadn't been spotted, quickly lay down on the ground.
The two took out their bags, assembled parts into weapons, opened the signal transmitter, put on invisible earpieces, and after finishing all this, Luo Zheng cautiously glanced around. A gentle breeze rustled the shrubs, everything was silent around, in the distance, soone with a backpack was seen approaching, it was the yet to be positioned comrades.
"Everyone report status," Luo Zheng said softly through the earpiece.
"In position," Ghost Hand quickly replied.
"In position!" Others sent ssages one after another. Luo Zheng listened silently for a while, noticing a few were still not in position. He glanced at his watch, not panicking since there were still ten minutes before they had to act, enough ti for everyone to get into position. With so many people, coming all together would arouse suspicion, so everyone was arriving dispersed and in succession, hiding imdiately upon reaching the spot. This reduced the risk of exposure.
Soon, the other few also sent ssages and were all in position, Luo Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart tensed up. This battle was too important, a slight mistake in enemy territory could lead to an irreversible disaster, consequences no one could bear. Luo Zheng felt endless pressure looming over him, making it hard to breathe. On the battlefield, if you can win, fight, if you can't, then flee, but once shots are fired here, failure to withdraw promptly would be very troubleso.
Thinking of this, Luo Zheng took a deep breath to suppress the tension, maintaining clarity. With a major battle imminent, the commander's emotions would influence others' performance. Luo Zheng imdiately asked through the earpiece, "Lan Xing, report status?" His words carried confidence and determination, his voice transmitting into everyone's ears, calming their hearts and tightening their grip on their guns, coolly observing the front.
"The special train is expected to reach the curve in twenty minutes, the power grid and anti-terrorism-related matters are ready, just waiting for the order," Lan Xing hurriedly said.
"Twenty minutes?" Luo Zheng exclaid, imdiately saying through the earpiece, "Ghost Hand, action, the matter must be resolved in five minutes. Prepare for five minutes, and reach the scene within eight minutes to attack the special train. You have two minutes to eliminate outside enemies before the train reaches the curve."
"Understood," Ghost Hand responded coldly.
The battle order has been issued, next, it's up to Ghost Hand. If the helicopter doesn't arrive, the battle plan will have to change. Luo Zheng's heart was in his throat but he dared not show it, continuing through the earpiece, "Shi Tao, report the situation."
"The explosives are in place, one hundred Button Bombs, enough to blast a big hole in the middle of the bridge. We are hiding under the bridge tunnel, ready to await the order for battle, rest assured." Shi Tao's voice ca through the earpiece.
As the battle lood, everyone turned on their signal devices for tily communication via satellite. Luo Zheng, hearing this, quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Everyone check your equipnt and prepare for battle."
"Yes," everyone replied softly.
The night deepened further, the countryside on both sides of the track was quiet, wild grass swayed in the wind, a few birds fluttered in the night sky chirping cheerfully, everyone was hidden in the bushes, motionless and hard to spot unless close. They maintained silence, containing their murderous aura, not daring to expose it while patiently waiting for the final attack order, their grip on their guns tightened.
Luo Zheng's gaze gradually turned sharp, keeping a close watch ahead. As his anxious heart cald down, he knew that panicking at this stage was useless. Commanding the battle was the pressing task. Five minutes had passed, and the voice of Ghost Hand ca through the earpiece; the helicopter was in hand, refueling and preparing for takeoff.
Everyone quietly lay in ambush in the bushes, feeling relieved at Ghost Hand's words. Luo Zheng looked up at the night sky; the moonlight was bright, and stars twinkled, the ground was a hazy gray, and unidentified insect sounds erged in the vicinity, with car horns occasionally blaring from the distant city.
Everything seed normal, so smooth it was hard for Luo Zheng to believe. Faintly, Luo Zheng felt sothing was off, a sense of unease surged up, startling him. With the battle imminent, this unease indicated danger, and past battles proved this. Luo Zheng trusted his intuition, but with the arrow on the bowstring, he had no choice but to launch. Relying solely on intuition to retreat would leave him no explanation for the comrades, nor to Lan Xue.
"What to do?" Luo Zheng's heart was in his throat. Thinking of the consequences of unknown dangers, he couldn't help but remind everyone, "Brothers, sothing feels wrong, everyone be cautious, no one is allowed to move without my order, stay alert."
"Feeling danger?" Lan Xue's voice ca through the earpiece.
Luo Zheng didn't know how to answer this question. As shrewd as Lan Xue was, she imdiately sensed the issue. But thinking of the current situation, retreat might not be suitable, reluctantly he said softly, "To fight or retreat? You decide, I won't bla you. I can't risk my brothers' lives; it would leave guilty forever."
"At this point, we can only push forward, no retreat." Snow Leopard's voice ca through the earpiece.
"Exactly, we are ready to take off, reaching the site in eight minutes. We can't be content without fighting. Everyone, stay put; we'll go first. If there's a problem, we can retreat; with the helicopter, they can't catch us," Ghost Hand's voice echoed through the earpiece.
Luo Zheng felt this made sense, his heart settled, his gaze becoming determined and coldly ordered, "Ghost Hand, take off imdiately. Be cautious during the attack; report any abnormal situations and withdraw at once."
"Understood," Ghost Hand replied nacingly.
"Everyone, prepare, the helicopter arrives in eight minutes, attack two minutes after the special train enters the junction, reaching our ambush in three minutes, and another two minutes to storm the castle. Set all Button Bombs to a seven-minute tir," Luo Zheng coldly instructed. Things had reached this point, it was ti to gamble.
