In the world of Special Forces, there is no such word as fear. Inspired by Luo Zheng, everyone's blood started boiling. They all looked at Luo Zheng, ready for action. Shi Qingshan's expression darkened as he said, "Commander, the way you speak... We are soldiers, soldiers who are not even afraid of death. What else is there to be afraid of? Our squadron of fifty n is here. Just tell us, how do we fight? If we retreat one step, you might as well take our lives."
"Exactly, captain. As long as you don't mind us holding you back, there's nothing to say. Our squad, although not large, isn't made up of those who fear death. The captain has said that the reinforcents will arrive soon. How do we fight? Just give the orders," Zhou Gang also said sowhat angrily, reminding Luo Zheng about the reinforcents in passing.
Luo Zheng looked at each of the fervent soldiers and felt ward inside as he said, "I need to rescue soone. This person might be at the Kuntai base, or might not be. This operation is extrely dangerous, and I hope everyone is ntally prepared. If anyone wants to opt out, you can say so now, and I will not bla you."
"Stop talking, just give the orders," Shi Qingshan said discontentedly.
"Right, just give the orders," Zhou Gang also expressed.
Luo Zheng pondered for a mont, then said, "The situation is unclear, and we have no specific tactics yet. Gangzi, contact ho imdiately to check where the reinforcents are now."
"Yes," Zhou Gang readily agreed, taking out a military satellite phone from his backpack to make the call. After a few words once the call connected, he handed the phone to Luo Zheng, saying, "Here, the captain wants to speak with you."
Luo Zheng knew that Zhou Gang was referring to Lan Xue's cousin, Captain Li from the Special Warfare Team of his previous military district, who had taken great care of him. Taking the phone, he imdiately said, "Captain, it's ."
"That's great, are you okay? I've heard about Lan Xue. Don't worry, there's always a way. Also, I have already sent four squads over, all your forr subordinates. They are now capable. The troops have adopted your training thods so the brothers have improved quickly. You must have seen the ones who just left, right? Liu Xun, Zhang Bin, Wu Yuan, ng Zhu, plus Zhou Gang, five squads in total, fifty n. They know you well and it will be convenient for you to command. Though their skill might be slightly inferior, I can send more people imdiately if you need anything else, just say the word," Captain Li urgently said, his words filled with deep concern.
"No need, thank you, Captain," Luo Zheng said, touched and grateful.
"Being formal with ? Co and visit when you have ti. No matter where you end up, don't forget that this place is your ho base," Captain Li said, sounding slightly vexed. "Right, they should be close by. Have Zhou Gang get in touch with them."
"Yes," Luo Zheng responded, handing the phone back to Zhou Gang. After listening for a few monts, Zhou Gang hung up and took out a GPS to locate their coordinates. He then dialed another number and began talking with soone on the other end.
Luo Zheng knew that Zhou Gang was communicating their location with others. He began to think deeply. With Shi Qingshan's fifty n and a group of old subordinates coming to assist, he had a hundred n at his disposal—all carefully selected Special Forces. Even the rookie level Special Forces were not comparable to ard militants. With such a substantial force at his disposal, it was ti to carefully think about how to deal with the Kuntai Group.
Before long, Zhou Gang ca to report that the others were not far from everyone else and were on their way. Feeling that everyone was tired and indeed needed so rest, Luo Zheng signaled Shi Qingshan to arrange for surveillance. Shi Qingshan agreed, organized so people for guard duty, and then had others gather dry wood for a fire. He also sent so people out hunting since feeding everyone just compressed biscuits was too unpleasant, and they seized the opportunity to improve the al with so ga whenever possible.
Luo Zheng quietly leaned against a tree and quickly strategized. Images of Kuntai Headquarters filled his mind—buildings everywhere, patrols roaming, and many checkpoints. Breaking in would be difficult; a stealth attack was possible, but they couldn't involve too many people, which would limit the impact.
"If we can't break in and a stealth attack is aningless, what should we do?" Luo Zheng analyzed carefully. If entering wasn't an option, they could only try to draw the enemy out. But the problem was the enemy was nurous, familiar with the terrain, and experienced in jungle warfare. Luring them out might not lead to a good outco. He needed to co up with a thorough plan.
In a daze, Luo Zheng began to feel sleepy and unwittingly fell asleep. These past few days, he hadn't dared to let himself sleep deeply alone. Exhausted ntally and physically from the recent fight and retreat besides, his body was seriously depleted of energy. Everyone noticed Luo Zheng had fallen asleep and started speaking softly to avoid waking him.
In his groggy state, Luo Zheng dread of Lan Xue, frail and covered in blood, lying unconscious, her life hanging by a thread. Startled, he woke up suddenly, startling everyone around him as well. All turned to look at him, eyes filled with concern.
Luo Zheng stared fixedly at the bright moon hanging in the sky, the stars thick around it. Wind rustled through the trees. He realized it had been a nightmare, and his heart slowly settled. He let out a long sigh, releasing the discomfort in his heart, regaining so clarity. He looked around at everyone; the fire flickered, many people nodding off next to it. Roast at hung on a rack beside the fire, and its aroma perated the air.
"Are you okay?" Shi Qingshan ca over and asked, and Zhou Gang also approached, looking at Luo Zheng concerningly.
"How long did I sleep?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise, glancing at his watch. He hadn't expected to have slept for a full five hours. The scent of roasted at wafted over, enticing him. He walked over, picked up the at, and began eating, then continued talking to Zhou Gang who had followed, "Did everyone eat well? By the way, have they arrived yet?"
"Just contacted them; they still need two hours," Zhou Gang quickly replied.
"Everyone has eaten already, and this was specifically saved for you," Shi Qingshan said, moving towards the fire on the other side to bring over a helt. The helt was stewing with snake at soup containing so wild greens. Luo Zheng took it, thanked him, and started eating.
Although the taste was quite ordinary, being able to have a hot al in this prival forest was already a luxury. Luo Zheng wasn't fussy about food, and it was necessary, he didn't mind eating raw. Finally getting a hot al, he felt his appetite surge and devoured it voraciously. He finished the snake at soup in just a few monts.
Luo Zheng set the finished helt aside, feeling much more comfortable. He continued devouring the roast at. High-intensity combat required ample nutrition to sustain energy levels. Zhou Gang took the helt to the side, chopped so grapevines, poured the liquid inside into the helt, cleaned it thoroughly, then wiped it carelessly with so branches, put it on his head, and walked back to Luo Zheng. Crouching down, he whispered, "Captain, what should we do next?"
