Luo Zheng didn't imdiately respond to Ghost Hand's question. Instead, he looked at the waterfall in front of him and fell into thought. After several life-and-death experiences, Luo Zheng found that the Breathing Skill passed down in his family made his body beco stronger, more agile, and even enhanced his danger perception ability to so extent. It had saved his life on nurous occasions. His expression softened sowhat as he explained, "At that ti, I just felt that the fighter jet was coming for us. I didn't think too much about it. Instinctively, I felt it was safer to go down the cliff, so I had everyone follow down. It was quite lucky actually. If our movents had been spotted by the fighter jet pilot, the location for dropping bombs would probably not have been on the cliff."
"Combat instinct?" Ghost Hand looked at Luo Zheng enviously and said, "Combat instinct is tempered through countless life-or-death experiences. Little brother, we all have trained hard for seven or eight years, going through countless battles to just begin to awaken it, and you've got it within a year. It seems that this instinct is related to your childhood hunting. Besides, I must congratulate you. This kind of instinct is only possessed by soone of the Elite Soldier King level. The stronger this instinct, the stronger the strength. You should have one foot in the Elite Soldier King level already."
Luo Zheng was taken aback, looked towards Lan Xue, and seeing her nod with a smile, he couldn't help but laugh joyfully. As long as he beca an Elite Soldier King, he would have won most of the bet with Mr. Li, and when the ti ca, he could justifiably ask Mr. Li to preside over his wedding with Lan Xue. This was Luo Zheng's driving force.
The group chatted casually for a while, and their combat mood beca much more uplifted, moving out of the shadow of the near-death explosion. The team continued to advance through the dense forest, walking and stopping along the way, and without realizing it, dusk fell. Everyone rested under a protruding cliff cave, a bulge that could block the view of satellites and drones, making it difficult to be detected. Even if they lit a fire, it wouldn't be noticed unless soone ca close.
Luo Zheng told everyone to light a fire while he went hunting. Following the tracks of animal droppings, feathers, and footprints on the ground, he effortlessly caught two wild chickens from a bush, enough for everyone to have a al. Upon seeing a stream ahead, Luo Zheng went to clean and dress the wild chickens. He made sure to bury the plucked feathers and innards sowhere and camouflaged the spot well to avoid detection.
On his way back, Luo Zheng ca to a hillside and suddenly noticed a team crossing the mountain ridge on the other side. There were nearly a hundred people in a hurry, fortunately moving in a different direction. Luo Zheng's expression changed dramatically as he wondered whether Arctic Bear Country had yet to give up their pursuit. He imdiately hurried back to the temporary campsite and inford everyone of the situation.
Upon hearing that they might still be pursued, everyone's expression beca grave. Lan Xue thought for a mont and said, "It might be pursuers, or it could be a relief or patrol force. Let's not worry about them for now. As long as they haven't spotted us, we can rest here for the night and decide what to do tomorrow. People have consud too much energy after the long journey. We must rest."
Luo Zheng knew that everyone was physically exhausted and didn't insist on traveling further. Together, they built a makeshift field stove with stones, lit a fire, and started roasting the wild chicken over the campfire. After all was done, everyone found a place to sit down and rest, taking turns keeping watch.
The night passed peacefully, and the next morning, after a good night's rest, everyone's energy was sowhat restored. They covered up any traces of their stay, ate so dry food, and continued on their journey. Along the way, they chose to walk through the woods, using the trees as cover to avoid detection by satellites or drones.
Walking and stopping, without encountering any danger, three days passed by unconsciously.
On the fourth day at noon, the team arrived at a mountain ridge. Luo Zheng looked at the surrounding terrain and felt so familiarity. A thought struck him, and he took out a map. After studying it for a while and using the GPS for positioning, he realized that they were very close to the training camp of the Terrorist Organization. He beca alert and said softly through the headset, "The destination is not far ahead. The team will rest in place. Mountain Eagle, scout."
"Yes," everyone responded softly, spreading out to find places to rest, naturally forming a circular defensive formation. It had beco a tacit understanding and instinct, unspoken yet natural.
"Ghost, brother, co over and take a look," Mountain Eagle's voice suddenly rang in the earphones.
Everyone's faces showed alarm, and they all looked at Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng gestured a warning and hurried forward, everyone loading their bullets and cautiously following, vigilant in all directions. Soon, Luo Zheng reached Mountain Eagle and lay down on a mountain ridge to peer over. He saw a valley below, dense with trees, within which several wooden huts had been built, one of them with radar and antennas on the roof.
At the entrance of the valley, so ard militants with guns at the ready were confronting a group of soldiers. Luo Zheng, surprised, raised his binoculars and saw that the soldiers were wearing Arctic Bear Country uniforms, their identity self-evident. The ard militants were dressed in plain clothes, a mix of everything, but each emitted a wild, beast-like killing intent, obviously all hard characters to deal with.
"What is going on here?" Mountain Eagle asked in surprise, in a low voice.
"It looks like that is the training camp below. Judging by the way they are arguing, the Arctic Bear Country's army and the terrorists from the training camp are indeed familiar with each other," Luo Zheng said in a low tone.
By then, others had also hurried over and lay on the ground to observe. After a while, Lan Xue suddenly said in a hushed tone, "It appears the Arctic Bear Country's soldiers are arguing with the terrorists about sothing at the training camp. How about we add fuel to the fire?"
"What do you an?" Luo Zheng curiously asked.
"Take out a couple of terrorists from the training camp. They won't be able to tell what's going on and will think that it was the Arctic Bear Country's troops who acted. When they start fighting each other, we can reap the benefits," Lan Xue suggested.
Luo Zheng's eyes lit up, while Snow Leopard asked in disbelief, "Why not take out the Arctic Bear? Those bastards have bullied our country plenty of tis before; this would be a good chance to settle the score with them."
"The terrorists have leased land from the Arctic Bear Country for their training camp; they definitely won't initiate an attack. Otherwise, the Arctic Bear Country's army wouldn't co to confront them. If we attack the people from Arctic Bear Country, it would reveal our identity, but it's different with the terrorists. The terrorists will think that the Arctic Bear has abandoned them. Those involved in terror are the most suspicious and won't suspect us. By then, even if Arctic Bear Country tries to explain, it will be difficult," Ghost Hand analyzed from the side.
"That's the plan, then. The three of us will each take a shot. I will count to three, and we'll fire simultaneously to avoid exposing our numbers. Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, keep watch on both sides and quickly withdraw afterward. Everyone rembers the waterfall we encountered on the way here, right? There's a cave beneath it, not very deep and quite damp, but enough to hide in," Luo Zheng said sternly, earnestly instructing, while setting up his sniper rifle with a fierce fighting spirit in his tiger-like eyes.
