The enemy used M4 rifles, with a foldable entrenching tool hanging from their backpacks, all covered in snowflakes. Luo Zheng imdiately understood why these n could make a stealthy approach in the snowy terrain; they must have used the entrenching tool to dig snow trenches to advance. The snow was loose, making it easy to complete with an entrenching tool.
The M4 rifle was a good piece of equipnt, with an effective range of 600 ters and a 30-round magazine, capable of forming a dense fire attack in a short ti. Luo Zheng hung the enemy's rifle around his neck, and with this weapon, coupled with the SVD sniper rifle he had snatched, his firepower was complentarily enhanced, significantly boosting his combat effectiveness.
Luo Zheng opened the enemy's backpack and found it fully stocked with supplies and ammunition. He took off his own backpack, opened it, and stuffed everything useful from the enemy's bag into his own, discarding items like a sleeping bag as one was enough. After collecting the supplies and equipnt, Luo Zheng cautiously observed his surroundings for danger. Finding none, he took the enemy's military boots and put them on. They were a bit large, but with wolf fur wrapping around his feet, they fit just right.
Quickly, Luo Zheng took off the enemy's tactical gloves and snow goggles and put them on. Snow goggles were quite necessary as the glaring white light reflecting off the snow could damage the eyes. After also confiscating the enemy's military knife and pistol, he climbed to the top of the hillside with his military pack, and lying prone among the rocks, calmly surveyed the area. He quickly spotted two figures charging from the other side, evidently coming to the rescue.
"Too late," Luo Zheng's gaze burst with intense murderous intent, and without hesitation, he fired. The bullet roared out. The distance was a bit long, and he missed, causing the two n to drop to the ground without moving. Knowing that his shot was more of a deterrent and now that they were prone, living targets, he calmly took aim again.
"Bang bang bang!" Three gunshots suddenly sounded from the snowfield ahead, startling Luo Zheng. He quickly withdrew, and the bullets struck the raised edge in front of the rocks. The stones, frozen solid, did not grant a sufficient angle to harm Luo Zheng; the bullets rely left white marks on their surface.
The situation was untenable. With three more n providing cover, Luo Zheng couldn't execute an effective sniping and had no choice but to abandon his position. Retreating to a safer area, he dashed southward. After holding the enemy off for so long, his brothers had already retreated; there was no need to continue the standoff with the enemy here.
The enemy, unaware that Luo Zheng had already retreated, did not organize an assault but cautiously waited instead. This ti allowed Luo Zheng to reach a safe distance. Minutes later, he disappeared into the world of falling snowflakes, leaving no trace.
Minutes later, the enemy, suffering casualties and damages, unable to be sure if anyone was still on the hillside, released their frustration by deploying a model airplane bomb. The bomb exploded at the top of the hillside. Using the explosion as cover, the three n in the front charged forward, closing the hundred-ter distance in about ten seconds and reaching the bottom of the hillside. They took cover behind rocks to observe, and with no signs of activity, two provided cover while one continued to charge forward.
Still no sign from the hillside, the enemies realized their opponent had fled and stord up the hill in frustration. Upon discovering only two cold corpses and all equipnt gone, how could they not understand what had happened? Their faces were as icy as the surrounding snowy world, their gazes coldly turning toward one of their own.
This man was tall, with a proud neck and blue eyes that flickered with intense coldness. His face, firm as iron, lips tightly sealed like a blade's edge, stared coldly at the two corpses on the ground, trembling with rage, his grip on his weapon tightened further.
"Squad Leader, we've lost four n, and one is injured," a man clad in a snow-white ghillie suit ca running over, speaking in a low voice using the Arctic Bear language, his expression as heavy as ice.
"Where are our reinforcents?" the tall man asked coldly, his angry eyes nearly spewing fire, his entire being exuding a wild beast's aura, intimidating those around him.
"We'll only be able to get there in three hours," the other party responded coldly.
"Three hours?" the tall figure's gaze was like the edge of a knife as it pierced through the dancing sky, looking into the distance. His face was as dark as perennial ice that would never thaw. After a while, his sharp gaze swept over everyone, and he barked with deliberate pauses, "We are the Snow Bear Special Brigade, such heavy losses haven't been seen in a decade. This is our disgrace, disgrace that must be washed away with the blood of our enemies. Bring over the bodies of our brothers, leave so to tend to the wounded, the rest of you, follow in pursuit. If you don't kill those bastards, do you even deserve to show your faces when you return?"
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison, their sharp gazes becoming even more ferocious. The death of their comrades left them all feeling incredibly stifled, the shaful anger making them wish they could imdiately find their adversaries and tear them to shreds.
"Rember, we are the Snow Bear, on this snowfield, we are the rulers, invincible. Lift your spirits, and avenge our fallen brothers," the tall figure ordered coldly.
"Revenge, revenge," everyone cried out fervently, howling, their murderous auras lting the falling snowflakes and scattering them as they soared into the sky.
┅┅.
Luo Zheng didn't know that the team mbers he had encountered were from the Snow Bear Special Forces, but he heard the voice coming through his headset. While running, Luo Zheng placed his phone next to his earpiece, and the weak voice was transmitted through the wireless signal, received by Captain Wu, who then found soone to translate it. The aning of the conversation just now was clear.
Captain Wu hadn't expected that the ones pursuing Luo Zheng and his team were mbers of the Arctic Bear Country's Snow Bear Special Forces, and his face imdiately darkened. After thinking for a mont, he still decided to inform Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng listened to Captain Wu's explanation while running. His face turned grim, and as soon as Captain Wu finished, he quickly asked, "Just how formidable are they?"
After thinking, Captain Wu said seriously, "Based on their abilities, they should be on par with the National Blade Special Team, but it's unclear whether those pursuing you are Ordinary Soldier Kings or Elite Soldier Kings. Of course, the likelihood of them just being Ordinary Soldier Kings is higher since your reputation isn't prominent enough to warrant deploying Elite Soldier Kings."
"Uh?" Luo Zheng, hearing this analysis, responded half in amusent and half in frustration, "So you're saying I should actually be grateful? Tell the reinforcents to hurry up. If they're late, they'll only be left to collect our bodies. I'll lead the team to withdraw south."
"You should feel fortunate. If they were Elite Soldier Kings, even with the advantageous terrain you just had, you might not have been able to withstand the enemy's attack. The Snow Bear Special Forces' style is tough and fearless. They are known for their brutality and ruthlessness, like a violent bear in the snow, and are very familiar with snowfield combat. You must be careful on this account. Besides, about fifty kiloters south from your current position, there is a forest area. I've sent people to et you there. The enemy reinforcents are estimated to arrive at your location in three hours. You must be quick. Any questions?" Captain Wu said solemnly.
"Don't worry, we'll hurry over," Luo Zheng promptly assured, understanding that if the enemy arrived in three hours and managed to encircle them, they would be dood. In a life or death situation, there was no room for carelessness.
