When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 155 No More Just Passing By!

Li Dongshui turned her head, looking puzzled, and asked, "Why are you looking for Xu Can?"

Thor's voice came through the headset: "Number 5, what are you talking about? Stop chatting nonsense at a time like this!"

Xu Ge: "I know you'll be breaking in in about ten minutes, but I do have something to discuss with Zhuque."

There is no sound in the channel.

Two minutes later, Xu Can's voice came through the earpiece: "Number 5, Number 5, this is Zhuque. Wolf Head said you were looking for me?"

"Zhuque, can you see the map of the mission area from your place?" Xu Ge asked immediately.

Xu Can replied, "I can't see it right now."

“The target building is located at the foot of a mountain, which is 430 meters high and has a north-facing slope of 15 degrees. However, the main entrance of the target building faces southwest. I feel something is wrong. Can you help me analyze it?” Xu Ge said quickly.

At this moment, everyone who heard Lishgo's words in the earpiece had a big question mark on their forehead.

What is this kid doing?

Unexpectedly, Xu Can replied to Xu Ge seriously in a second: "If what you said is true, the target building should be facing due south. Is there anything special about the terrain at the foot of the mountain that requires changing the direction?"

Xu Ge: "No, that's exactly what I feel is wrong, and I want you to help me find out why."

"What do you think is wrong?"

“Any building that is exposed outside the mountainside looks wrong.”

Xu Can: "Please tell me all the data about the building."

Xu Ge: "It is about 3 meters wide, 11 meters high, and about 6 meters long exposed outside."

Xu Can quickly replied, "It does feel a bit strange, but I need to see the actual site to know for sure..."

"Zhuque, I'm now transmitting the drone's signal to your tablet!" Suddenly, Wolf Head's voice came through the headset.

"understand!"

The channel fell silent again.

Seeing that Wolf Head had spoken, the others realized that Xu Ge might have really discovered something, so no one occupied the earpiece.

"Number 5, are the data you just gave us correct?" Xu Can's voice rang out.

Xu Ge: "That's correct. Even if there's a slight error, it's not significant."

Xu Can's voice turned serious: "I've seen the images of the site. If your data is correct, there is indeed a problem with this building!"

"What's the problem?" Wolf Head asked immediately, before Xu Ge could.

Everyone listened intently.

Xu Can: "Based on the angle of inclination of the load-bearing walls and columns of the building, the reason for choosing a southwest direction instead of the more suitable due south direction is very likely because there is another layer of space inside the mountain, and our previous 3D simulation was not comprehensive enough!"

Others might not be able to hear it, but to Xu Ge, Xu Can could hear the sound of fingers tapping on a screen at the same time as he spoke, indicating that the other person was operating the tablet while talking.

"Suzaku, are you sure?" Thor's voice also became serious.

"I can't be 100% sure, but we can verify it."

Xu Can paused for a moment, "If there is another layer of space above, judging from the structure of this building, there must be ventilation openings on the top of the mountain, and more than one. I'll mark a few approximate locations, and you can look for them on site."

The next moment, an image of a mountain appeared on Xu Ge's eyepiece, with three circles drawn halfway up the mountain.

"Sniper Team One, Sniper Team Two, immediately check if there are any ventilation shafts nearby!" Thor ordered immediately.

"it is good!"

"understand!"

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately looked up at the mountain based on the markings on the picture. Xu Ge, holding a monocular telescope, searched the opposite hillside inch by inch.

For Xu Ge, although he has night vision, finding a static vent is still much more difficult than finding a dynamic target; he can only judge by the outer contour of the object.

. . .

. . .

Time ticked by, and the scheduled time to launch the attack drew ever closer.

On the snow in front of the building below, the little girl began to build a snowman with the help of the woman who was looking after her. Thor and his two companions had also approached the target building and were within 100 meters of it.

"Old man, have you noticed anything?" Thor started urging.

The old man simply replied with one word: "No."

"What about you two, Number 5 and Number 6?" Thor asked again.

Li Dongshui: "I haven't found it yet..."

"found it!"

Xu Ge's voice was somewhat excited, "Up from the main entrance of the target building, 50 meters to the right, is the snowdrift to the east of the largest rock!"

"It's not just a ventilation opening, it could also be a secret passage exit, and its shape is very similar to the one I saw last time!"

In Xu Ge's view, there was a square opening, and the barrier next to it was covered with snow.

Perhaps the enemy never expected anyone to observe that location, so they didn't take any cover measures, which is why Xu Ge was able to find it.

Li Dongshui moved the scope over and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is! I saw it too!"

Old Face's voice also came through the earpiece: "Yes!"

There was a moment of silence on the channel.

The discovery of the secret passage exit wasn't particularly surprising, as this group had a habit of doing so. However, with the raid about to begin, if they continued with the original plan, their target might escape through the secret passage!

"Boss, what do we do now?" Thor called to Wolf Head. "Should we send more men?"

"It's too late. The Eighth Company's reconnaissance team has already retreated inside the border." Wolf Head's voice was calm. "Send Number 5 and Number 6!"

"Yes!"

Thor immediately issued the order, "Numbers 5 and 6, proceed to position 3 immediately to re-establish the sniper position. If you spot the enemy, fire on their own, but ensure the safety of target number one!"

Before he finished speaking, a new location marker appeared on the eyepiece, located on the ridge more than 500 meters away from the exit of the secret passage in the opposite mountain.

"Yes!"

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately got up, packed their equipment, and ran towards position number three with their guns in hand.

The ease they had felt earlier vanished, replaced by tension—the tension of facing a real battle alone.

Unlike the previous two group operations, Thor's meaning was clear: the situation had suddenly changed, and the previously inactive sniper team two was now tasked with controlling the exit of the secret passage. The two men huffed and puffed as they ran across the snow, heading sideways towards the higher ridgeline.

The two ran a distance of less than a kilometer, but it felt like a ten-kilometer cross-country run.

Whoosh!

Xu Ge was the first to run to the designated position, set up his gun behind a rock, and took out a rangefinder to start calculating the shooting parameters.

Li Dongshui arrived shortly after, lay down to Xu Ge's right, and aimed the AWM at the opposite hillside.

“Distance 520, wind speed negligible, angle of attack 14!” Xu Ge said quickly.

Li Dongshui, face pressed against the scope, said, "Roger!"

"Thor, Sniper Team Two is ready!" Xu Ge took a deep breath and then pressed the button on his headset.

"Let's get started, let's get down to business!"

Thor seemed to have been waiting for Xu Ge and his companion's signal, and immediately gave the order to attack after hearing that preparations were complete.

puff! Poof!

Xu Ge's ears twitched as he heard several barely audible gunshots coming from the sniper team's position. This meant that Lao Lian was starting to clear out the enemy's outer guards.

To his surprise, judging from the gunshots, Lao Lian was firing at an extremely fast rate, giving the impression that he was using a rifle rather than a sniper rifle.

Curious, Xu Ge picked up the monoculars and looked to the lower left. The woman next to the little girl had fallen in the snow, a large pool of blood from her head staining the snow red.

The little girl was so frightened that she hid behind the half-built snowman.

Three figures, guns at the ready, quickly approached the building's entrance. Three more enemies lay on the snow-covered ground in front of the entrance, all seemingly wounded in the head.

At this moment, Xu Ge once again gained a clear understanding of Lao Lian's strength.

How many seconds did those shots take? Five or six seconds? They took out four enemies in one go?

The old M200 is bolt-action; for most people, just pulling the bolt to load a round would take four or five seconds, let alone aiming and firing!

In the blink of an eye, Thor and his two companions had reached the door and rushed inside without stopping.

Inside the building, there were faint flashes of bright light, indicating that stun grenades had been used.

Xu Ge quickly put down his monocular binoculars, gripped his SCAR-H with both hands, aimed at the exit of the secret passage more than 500 meters away, and reminded him:
"Thor and the others have gone in. If the target tries to escape through the secret passage, they'll be out in a minute at most!"

"Ok!"

Li Dongshui spread his fingers and clenched them loosely a few times before firmly gripping his sniper rifle again.

Click!

Click!

The two men simultaneously pulled the bolts, chambering a bullet.

Xu Ge even loaded a grenade into the grenade launcher under the muzzle of the gun and said in a deep voice, "Don't be nervous, you've already participated in two real battles!"

Li Dongshui: "Mm!"

"What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking to myself!"

"Oh!"

"Remember to make sure you get a good look at target number one later, so you don't accidentally kill him," Xu Ge added.

Li Dongshui lay silently to the side.

Xu Ge was speechless: "That was meant for you!"

"OK, got it!"

. . .

. . .

After Thor and his two companions entered the target building, the channel fell completely silent.

The dots representing the three of them on the eyepiece were moving rapidly through the building below, and Xu Ge could hear faint explosions from time to time.

About ten seconds later, the positions of the three dots on the eyepiece suddenly rose simultaneously. At the same time, the dot representing the old face also started to move, rapidly moving in this direction.

Xu Ge knew that Thor and the others had reached the second level of space, and immediately focused his attention on the secret passage exit on the opposite hillside: "Get ready!"

"Numbers 5 and 6, someone's coming out soon, stop them!" Thor's voice suddenly came through the headset.

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were both startled, and without even replying, they immediately focused their attention on the other side.

A few seconds later, two figures emerged from the exit, guns drawn and looking around warily. After confirming that there was no target among them, Xu Ge immediately pulled the trigger.

Da da da!
The powerful recoil of the SCAR-H made his body tremble.

After a burst of fire, the bullets grazed two enemies and landed on the snow nearby.

Xu Ge had no choice; he had really done his best over the 500-meter distance.

boom!
A loud bang rang in his ears, and Li Dongshui's body jolted violently.

An enemy who was about to bend down was suddenly hit in the back and fell face-first onto the snow.

Meanwhile, the other enemy remained where he was, looking around in a panic.

Both Xu Ge and Li Dongshui's guns were fitted with flash suppressors, so no sparks were produced when they fired. In addition, the echoes from the mountains made it impossible for the enemy to determine the firing position.

"Got it! Well done, Ah Shui!" Xu Ge exclaimed.

Click!

Li Dongshui cocked his rifle again and aimed at another enemy.

Knowing he couldn't hit the target, Xu Ge stopped shooting blindly and revealing his position, and instead helped Li Dongshui observe the situation.

"That guy was trying to hide behind a rock, so you aimed ahead at the rock... Holy crap, a few more people came out!"

In Xu Ge's view, five or six more people suddenly emerged from the exit of the secret passage, including the second target wearing a white headscarf and Yusup with a braid.

At this moment, Li Dongshui had already started pulling the trigger. Upon hearing Xu Ge's voice, he quickly moved the muzzle of his gun: "Which one?"

"Apart from Yusup, just attack anyone... Holy crap, what's the second target supposed to do?"

Da da da!
The man opposite, wearing a white headscarf, suddenly pointed his AK gun downwards and began firing.
