Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 414 Hunter or prey
"how to eat?"

The hunter seemed a little embarrassed.

He is a sniper himself and only has an SVD in his hand.

Song Heping holds an M4A1 assault rifle in his hand.

The vanguard team just now had at least a dozen people. It was estimated that the people from the "Cobra" team saw the scene at the fork in the road and knew that they were not easy to deal with, so the vanguard team directly sent a dozen people, which exceeded the size of the usual 2-4 vanguard team.

"There must be a large force behind them, and they will arrive soon. Why don't we retreat in a different direction so they can't find us?"

The hunter had a good idea.

After all, there are only two of us on this side, so hiding is the safest option.

But Song Heping felt uncomfortable.

The gray wolf was so badly injured that Song Heping was holding his breath. He couldn't get over the psychological barrier unless he made the other party pay a price.

"Let's go!"

Seeing him keep silent with his head down, the hunter checked his watch and urged, "The main force behind us will probably arrive soon. If we engage in a fight with the vanguard, we'll definitely die if we get stuck."

After hearing this, Song Heping's eyes lit up: "I have an idea."

……

In less than twenty minutes, Harold followed the "Cobra" team to the location where Song Heping had looked at the map before.

They were on a forced march all the way.

He had to admit that these local Burmese were much more familiar with this mountainous area than he was. If it were him, he would not be able to track them at all.

The mountain road is difficult to walk on at night.

The temperature in the mountains dropped sharply. Harold felt hot inside while chasing after his opponent, but his skin was ice cold outside, a feeling of being in the midst of both ice and fire.

What makes people more uncomfortable than the heavy rain are the poisonous snakes and insects hiding in the dark corners. These guys are masters of camouflage. At first glance, you can't see anything, but if you step on it, you may step on a poisonous snake, or you may feel a chill on your neck while walking, and you may pull off a colorful snake with your hand.

If you see a sick and wilted tree, it is best not to get close to it, because there are vampires waiting in the tree - they are tree leeches. These disgusting little things live on trees and usually survive by sucking sap. If a wild animal or a person walks under the tree, they will fall on you like airborne soldiers without anyone noticing.

Don't doubt the fighting ability of tree leeches. Even if they are full and plump, they will still stick to your body tightly and refuse to leave.

bang——

Suddenly there was a muffled sound from the front.

Then came the screams.

"Ow—"

Someone fell down.

Everyone was startled and scattered to seek cover with guns in hand.

Everyone thought they were attacked.

But it would have been better if they hadn't dispersed. As soon as they dispersed, they heard another explosion.

bang——

bang——

The voice is very low.

Not gunshots.

"Butterfly Thunder!"

Harold came to his senses and shouted, "Don't run around! This place has been mined! Be careful of the butterfly mines under your feet, they are very small!"

Butterfly Thunder.

When Wu Shengwen heard the news of the equipment ranking, he suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

In the jungle, he would rather face a trip mine than a butterfly mine that was as small as a child's toy.

"Don't even move!"

Following Wu Shengwen's loud reminder, all the members of the "Cobra" team stopped, squatting in an awkward posture as if they were constipated, not daring to move.

"What's going on?!" Harold demanded. "Didn't you have scouts ahead? They just passed by less than half an hour ago. How come there are mines here?!"

Wu Shengwen's mind was full of questions at this moment.

He didn't understand it either.

Is it because I took the wrong road?
But we had been in contact with the vanguard team before, and it was indeed this road. Wu Shengwen was very familiar with the roads in this area, and the vanguards were even more familiar with them. No one would make such a low-level mistake.

So he turned around, took the radio walkie-talkie from the signalman, and began to call the vanguard squad.

"Winner, Winner, hear the answer."

There was silence on the channel.

no reply.

"Wen Nai, Wen Nai."

Still dead silence.

The Cobra Special Forces soldiers scattered on the path realized that something seemed to be wrong.

They had been in touch more than 20 minutes ago.

Why can’t I call you all of a sudden?

It's definitely not because of signal problems.

The terrain here wasn't such that the signal would be lost or interfered with. There was only one reason for the lack of a response: something had happened to the vanguard unit.

But Wu Shengwen could not believe that the most elite vanguard unit he sent out was wiped out silently.

"Zowen, take some people and clear the mines! Quickly!"

Wu Shengwen immediately issued orders to his subordinates.

He seemed to realize that something was wrong.

If the enemy can even enter the minefield between the main force and the vanguard, it means that the enemy...

It can follow the vanguard squad...

It's just too late to discover the problem now.

Judging from the fact that the vanguard team did not respond to their calls, it seems that something happened to the people ahead.

After instructing Zuo Wen on mine clearance, Wu Shengwen couldn't help but ask Harold, "Captain, who on earth did you guys mess with tonight?!"

"They're not coming for us!" Harold wasn't one to take the blame, so he immediately said, "It was your financial sponsor, Bacha, who brought these people in. Their target is Bacha! Our people just happened to be there and got implicated!"

"Humph!"

Wu Shengwen sneered, "If they weren't coming for you, why would they kidnap your liaison officer here?"

He was referring to Joyce.

Having said that, Wu Shengwen no longer cared about the face of the Navy SEALs in front of him.

He pointed to his head and said, "Although I didn't grow up drinking milk and eating bread, I'm not stupid, Captain!"

Harold said.

Now that things have come to this, he can no longer shirk responsibility. He originally wanted to intercept the small team that attacked Bachai's birthday party, but he didn't expect that not only would he fail to achieve his goal, but he would also lose several of his own men.

"Captain Wu, Joyce only made the last-minute decision to go to Bachai's residence this afternoon to meet him. It was a last-minute decision, so there's no way it could have leaked out! So, those people definitely weren't coming for Joyce, but for Bachai!"

Wu Shengwen sneered again: "Then how do you explain why they killed Bachai and the others but kidnapped Joyce?"

"Now isn't the time to assign blame! We should cooperate wholeheartedly. We can find out who we're targeting once we capture an enemy!"

Harold was very annoyed by Wu Shengwen's persistent attitude.

But now he has to rely on these ethnic armed groups, and can only temporarily put aside the conflicts and give priority to cooperation.

Zuo Wen and several soldiers began searching along the path with flashlights.

Although turning on the flashlight in such a place is equivalent to setting up a target for others and letting bullets hit you.

But he had to do it.

Without a flashlight, you can't see the small butterfly mines that fall to the ground.

He may not have to line up in other places, but this is a must. At least he has to make sure that there is no danger within fifty meters before the large force can continue to move forward.

After all, it is impossible for the other party to cover the entire smuggling route with butterfly mines. It is not realistic to do so.

They quickly found three butterfly mines and advanced more than twenty meters. At this speed, they could quickly open up a passage.

Suddenly, a soldier walking in front raised his fist and stared at the ground.

The demining team stopped.

The leader was an old soldier. He stopped because he noticed that the fallen leaves on the ground seemed a little strange.

He turned around and made some sign language gestures to Zuo Wen and the others.

Then Zuo Wen and others followed the car, and the other two came forward.

Three of them squatted down, two of them were on guard, and the veteran drew out his dagger and stabbed it diagonally into the ground in front of him, constantly probing in several directions, left, right, front and back.

Benedict——

The tip of the knife suddenly hit something hard.

The old soldier's eyes lit up, and he poked the edge a few more times. Then he gently picked up the soft soil covering the hard object at the edge, and then pried it lightly.

A small and cute anti-personnel mine was turned out from the mud and appeared before his eyes.

He didn't try to dismantle it, but instead retracted the dagger and reported to Wu Shengwen: "We found the booby trap they set!"

Wu Shengwen said, "We can't wait any longer. Try taking a detour and see if there's a way around. Don't go this way. Go around a kilometer or two and then get back to the trail!"

The veteran replied, "Okay, that's one way to do it."

Wu Shengwen was obviously a little impatient: "Hurry up, don't dawdle."

The veteran changed direction and stopped exploring the path. It seemed that the other side had deployed a lot of troops on the path, and it was unknown how long it would take to finish the battle.

He cut a branch with his dagger and stuck it at the edge of the minefield as a mark, then stood up and waved to the other two scouts. The three of them walked around and left the path, carefully walking through the bushes and woods on the side, trying to get around it.

After walking about thirty meters away from the path, we didn't find any new mines.

The few of them finally put their hearts back into their stomachs and began to speed up their pace.

"It seems they are safe now. We can follow the path they took and take a detour..."

Wu Shengwen, who was not far behind the vanguard team, breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to order everyone to take a detour, an explosion suddenly sounded in front of him.

A ball of fire flashed in the dark woods.

bang——

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
