Over the next two days, everyone stayed inside the tents to rest and conserve energy. Food was delivered, so no one needed to leave. They carefully studied the surrounding terrain. Everyone had done their howork before arriving, and all the related information was stored on their computers, readily accessible. Anything extra they needed could be requested over the phone from headquarters, where the intelligence departnt could assist with the analysis of local customs, future weather, etc., all of which were thoroughly understood.
On the third day, everyone was dressed neatly in uniforms that included tactical vests, bullet-resistant vests, and desert digital combat uniforms, all of which were specially developed products by the National Blade Special Combat Team Equipnt Team. These were not only thermal barrier but also had strong infrared detection blocking capabilities. Coupled with desert camouflage, tactical helts with caras, and blast-resistant military boots, a person could throw themselves onto the desert or grassland and still be hard to recognize even at close range, offering very high concealnt.
The weapons were also far from simple. Each person was equipped with a Type 95 assault rifle and a Type 92 pistol, with 5 magazines and an additional 300 rounds of ammunition, ten grenades each, and a multifunctional military knife, also specially made by the National Blade Special Combat Team Equipnt Team. This knife could cut through iron as if it were mud and had a slightly curved design with a large blood groove that emitted the aura of the Grim Reaper. Luo Zheng, upon seeing this knife, had been unable to let go of it, delighted beyond asure.
Other equipnt included high-powered, highly secure against eavesdropping headsets, also custom-made by the National Blade Special Combat Team Equipnt Team, with Bluetooth wireless signal covering up to three thousand ters, Single Soldier dical Bags, sleeping bags, folding spades, water bottles with filters and disinfection, along with several compressed biscuits. Each person's gear totaled over thirty kilograms, not including the position radars, infrared detectors, night vision goggles, thermal imaging instrunts, and satellite phones provided by the committee.
To ensure safety, Luo Zheng still planned to bring these pieces of equipnt, which were slightly inferior to those of Sam Country, as having more resources provided more hope. He distributed them evenly, and with everyone's strength, carrying them was not difficult. As the battle progressed, consumable supplies would decrease, and the weight would lighten, so it wasn't a big problem.
Luo Zheng, Mountain Eagle, and Lan Xue were all snipers, carrying an additional M99 semi-automatic sniper rifle each, with twenty armor-piercing, incendiary, and explosive bullets each, along with fifty regular sniper bullets, significantly increasing their load. Once equipped, everyone packed the temporarily unneeded materials into backpacks and, led by the liaison officer, gathered at the helipad.
Many helicopters on the helipad had already started. So of the competing teams were assembling to board. Luo Zheng saw the helicopters from Sam Country taking off, each carrying an all-terrain vehicle underneath, and couldn't help but smirk at the sight. Such flashy wealth, with excellent equipnt, having vehicles made their attack capability sharply more formidable.
"Don't worry, in my view, they won't be using that vehicle much. First off, they don't have enough fuel, and second, there are land mines and wild animals everywhere. Driving through would make them an obvious target, the first to be attacked," Lan Xue whispered softly.
"No worries, let them show off," Luo Zheng laughed, waiting for the helicopter. The liaison officer handed a map to Lan Xue, which she briefly looked over. It had clear markings of their drop-off points, other teams' drop-off locations, as well as the headquarters of the Wolf King and the distances, specially made to be water-resistant, fire-resistant, and durable.
Representatives from Huaxia Country ca over to see them off, all stationed at the United Nations. As the competition was organized by the United Nations, it was inappropriate for others to co. Lan Xue and the leading representative chatted for a few monts, saluted, then turned to leave. Once everyone boarded the helicopter, it roared to life and soared into the sky.
The noise from the helicopter's rotors was very loud, making it impossible to talk. Everyone closed their eyes to rest, making final preparations for the coming battle. Lan Xue passed the map around for everyone to see, then signaled for Luo Zheng to keep it. After about fifteen minutes of flying, the helicopter hovered at a low altitude. Everyone dropped down ropes and slid down, firmly straddling the land below and quickly dispersing on alert.
Soon, everyone had rappelled down and was kneeling on the ground in a circular defensive position, guns shouldered, their gaze cautious. The helicopter swooped away, tilting its head with a roar. Luo Zheng looked ahead at the human-height dead grass, an empty stretch with no end in sight, occasionally spotting a few bent trees that weren't very tall. His expression turned solemn. After consulting the map for a while and determining their route, he whispered into his earpiece, "Brothers, the battle has begun."
"Kill!" Everyone roared quietly, their fighting spirit erupting.
"From here to the headquarters of the Wild Wolf rcenary Group is just a day's journey. The map shows that the drop point is centered on the headquarters of the Wild Wolf rcenary Group in a circular formation. The drop points of other countries' competing squads and the headquarters of the Wild Wolf rcenary Group are about the sa distance. To our left and right are small countries, not worth worrying about. I suggest we search forward for two kiloters and then stop." Luo Zheng spoke softly, his firm eyes flickering with profound wisdom.
"Do you have a plan?" Lan Xue asked in a low voice.
"I suddenly have a feeling that the headquarters of the Wild Wolf rcenary Group must be empty. The Wolf King wouldn't possibly stay at the headquarters. I assess that his n are already spread around, casting a wide net, just waiting for everyone to fall into the trap. To kill the Wolf King, a few days won't decide the winner; we are not in a rush." Luo Zheng spoke softly, his tone filled with confidence, his expression extrely resolute.
"This judgnt of yours will affect the outco of the competition. Are you certain of your assessnt?" Lan Xue asked in surprise, not doubting Luo Zheng but hoping that he could explain more clearly so that the other brothers would feel assured. Once on the battlefield, everyone is a unit. Speaking openly gains everyone's support and cooperation, allowing full combat potential to be unleashed. As a team leader, Lan Xue was very aware of the art of command, thus gently reminding Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng was not the team leader, although he acted as such, and his command skills were still not mature enough. Upon hearing Lan Xue's subtle reminder, he imdiately realized and explained, "The Wolf King is fierce and cautious, not soone easily bullied. This ti the United Nations organized a Special Forces competition targeting him; he must be very annoyed and will strike back with full force. If he doesn't retaliate, who will hire them in the future, right? For reputation, for business, he has no choice but to set a trap. We shouldn't touch this sensitive issue; let others test the waters first."
"Brother, you make sense, but won't other competing squads hold the sa attitude?" Ghost Hand asked, sowhat surprised.
"Definitely." Luo Zheng affird without hesitation: "But Sam Country and other strong teams won't. They consider themselves unbeatable and are afraid other strong teams might snatch the credit. They will definitely rush ahead, aiming straight for the heart. With their equipnt, strength, and attached forces, we can't compete; it's better to sit back and watch the tigers fight, then act according to the situation."
"Makes sense, let's see how it goes," Ghost Hand said, and the others also voiced their agreent.
The group moved forward, Mountain Eagle leading the way with Snow Leopard covering the rear. Luo Zheng and Ghost Hand flanked on the left and right, about ten ters apart, using the dead grass for cover as they rapidly advanced about two kiloters. Suddenly, Mountain Eagle transmitted through the earpiece, "There's a situation, everyone be careful."
