Chapter 274 The Identity of a Military Family Member!
"why?"

Not only Xu Ge, but Li Dongshui and Ao Xiang also looked at Thor.

"Because they kidnapped military personnel!"

Thor picked up his 191 precision marksman rifle.

Without further questions, the others began to put on their gear.

The moment the words "military dependents" are mentioned, nothing more needs to be said.

"God of Gamblers, take the machine gun. Mouse, you take the flamethrower!"

Thor kept stuffing magazines into his tactical vest and shouted, "Everyone, in addition to the two basic loads of ammunition, bring rocket launchers and grenade launchers. Dog, help me carry that Type 11 individual combat system!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ge felt a sudden unease, sensing that something was amiss. Thor hadn't instructed anyone to bring any rescue equipment.

Old Wang had already disappeared. After leaving the armory, the group headed straight for the helipad, led by Thor.

The engine's loud roar could be heard from a great distance.

When Xu Ge reached the rooftop, he discovered two planes parked side by side: a transport plane and a fighter jet. Xu Can was sitting in the cockpit of the other fighter jet, and several logistics personnel were loading ammunition into the wings and the front cockpit.

No one spoke. The group boarded the helicopters one by one, and the two helicopters took off one after the other, heading straight for their destination.

Inside the cabin, Thor glanced at his watch and gestured for everyone to put on their headphones.

"Everyone, I'm going to reserve my spot and wait!"

Xu Can greeted everyone through his headset and quickly distanced himself in his fighter jet.

Xu Ge couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Thor, why were Suzaku's fighter jets also deployed?"

Everyone here is an expert; they all know what the deployment of fighter jets means.

"Of course, it's to annihilate the enemy and deliver the heaviest blow," Thor replied casually, then looked down and started adjusting the communication channel.

Wan Xiaofei frowned: "But the enemy has hostages. Aren't we going to rescue hostages?"

Thor didn't answer, but looked at Wu Xiaoyong and asked, "Have you sent over the mission details?"

Wu Xiaoyong took out a military computer: "It's been sent over. The hostage's characteristics are..."

"Give me!"

Thor grabbed the computer, glanced at it, and said, "Around 7 p.m., a military family member was traveling in a minivan when it was attacked. The enemy hijacked the vehicle and the five passengers, including the military family member. According to the location data, the MPV has already crossed the border!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately frowned.

There is a no-man's-land outside the border there. It is called a no-man's-land because, apart from my country, the ownership of the other two countries there has never been determined.

"Judging from the enemy's modus operandi, it should be the terrorist organization that has been frequently harassing our border recently."

Thor paused for a moment, then said, "The rapid reaction force over there has arrived at the border. Our mission is to break through!"

Xu Ge paused for a moment: "And then?"

"Bring back any surviving hostages you find; otherwise, kill everyone you see!" Thor's voice was chilling.

Xu Ge looked at Thor, already understanding the implication in his words: "What do you mean? Are you saying all the hostages might be dead?"

He was puzzled from the very beginning.

The weapons and equipment that Thor ordered to carry didn't look like they were going to rescue hostages at all. In Wan Xiaofei's words, Chun Chun was just the top-of-the-line equipment for a fierce attack!

Furthermore, Xu Can even deployed fighter jets!
“It’s almost nine o’clock now. By the time we get there, it will be at least 10:30. In these three or four hours, the chances of the hostage surviving are too low.”

Thor lowered his head and said, "What we need to do is annihilate the enemy completely, teach them a lesson they won't forget! Let them know that provoking us will cost them their lives!"

"But didn't Lao Wang say before that the enemy called demanding a ransom?" Xu Ge couldn't accept it. "What makes you say the hostages won't survive?"

"You've watched too many movies, haven't you? You think real-life terrorists would bargain with you like they do on TV?"

Thor seemed a little agitated as well, asking, "What does their demand for ransom have to do with whether or not we kill the hostages?"

Wan Xiaofei's expression changed slightly: "I participated in the rescue operation in the park. The people there did kill the person the moment they grabbed them. As for those photos, videos, and audios, they were all pre-recorded. By the time the family received them, the person was already gone!"

"Hold!"

Xu Ge's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and said, "Then kill them all!"

. . .

. . .

An hour later, the helicopter arrived over a valley with lush vegetation, and Xu Ge awkwardly slid down the rope.

It's embarrassing to admit, but he was the only one of the six who learned how to descent from Thor on the way here.

Actually, you can't really blame him. He hadn't participated in training for half a year, and after finally waking up, he went to the mountain. Then came the big competition and selection, and he didn't have time to learn this subject at all.

Fortunately, his climbing skills were also LV4, so he had a good foundation and learned quickly, landing successfully on his first try.

Drip!

A faint buzzing sound came through the headset; Thor, as the commander, was activating the intelligent system.

The next moment, Xu Ge's goggles projected the footage taken by the drone above, showing that the six people were located in the northeast corner of a no-man's-land.

Immediately afterward, Thor's hand gesture was projected, and the six people immediately and silently took up tactical formations, with Xu Ge and Li Dongshui at the very back.

Except for Xu Ge, everyone else put on their night vision goggles and began to move quickly through the mountains and forests.

As Xu Ge walked, he reached out and adjusted the electronic map on his goggles, discovering that the location where the hostage's cell phone and vehicle signals had finally disappeared was nearby. Two yellow dots had been marked on the map beforehand; zooming in slightly revealed a small cluster of buildings.

Swish!
Wow!
Thor, at the very front, continued his rapid march without stopping, seemingly intending to traverse the wild willow forest on the hillside.

The altitude here should be below 3000 meters. It was early summer, and slender willow branches pattered against everyone's helmets, making a soft sound.

Zizi!

Old Wang's voice came through the headset: "Thor, the location has been confirmed. The MPV is 700 meters directly in front of you."

"Roger that!"

"Remember to gather information carefully later. Do not take any rash actions before it is confirmed that the hostages have been killed!"

"understand!"

After a while, another call came through the headset.

"I'll repeat myself, you must prioritize confirming the hostages' condition!" Old Wang's voice sounded somewhat strange.

Even Xu Ge felt something was off. Why was Lao Wang being so indecisive today?
Just then, Thor's voice came: "Dog Boy, come to the front!"

Ao Xiang and the other two in the middle immediately shifted their positions to the sides, and Xu Ge sped up and ran to the front.

They had now reached the edge of the willow grove. A Buick minivan was parked quietly between two willow trees. Thor waved his hand: "Everyone else spread out and keep watch. Dogbao, come and scout!"

Xu Ge approached the car and asked, "How do we conduct reconnaissance?"

"Go and sniff around in the car, see if there's any valuable information," Thor whispered. "I've already checked, the car hasn't been tampered with, it's safe."

Xu Ge: "Are you using me like a military dog?"

"We were in a rush to leave, how could we have time to bring military dogs?" Thor opened the car door for Xu Ge. "Hurry up and stop dawdling. Why aren't you wearing night vision goggles?"

"It doesn't matter whether you wear it or not."

Xu Ge ducked inside, looking around as he said, "You promised this morning that I'd be in charge of the next operation. When am I supposed to take over?"

Thor replied dismissively, "I'll let you shout a couple of times during the attack, okay? ...What's wrong with you?"

Xu Ge bent over and stood motionless in the car, turning back to look at Thor: "There are seven people smelling in this car, but why does one of them seem so familiar?"

Thor remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was taken aback. This kid's nose is damn sharp!
"How could that be? You must be mistaken. Are you even capable of doing this?"

“Of course I can. There have been seven people in this car: three men and four women!” Xu Ge immediately replied.

"Can you continue tracking the scent outside?"

"You can try it!"

Thor waved his hand: "Go! You go first!"

The six of them quickly emerged from the willow grove and found themselves on a mountain path.

Xu Ge walked ahead, sniffing as he went, and soon came to a fork in the road. Based on the map, he could deduce that going straight would lead to the first location marked on the map, while turning right would lead to the second location.

"They went to the right."

"and many more!"

Thor gestured to Xu Ge not to rush off, "Mouse, send out the miniature reconnaissance drone to check on the situation in Village 2."

"Yes!"

Wu Xiaoyong took the drone out of his backpack and attached the infrared camera.

Buzz!
The miniature drone immediately flew into the night sky and quickly disappeared.

"Pay attention to receive the synchronized feed!"

Upon hearing Wu Xiaoyong's prompt, Xu Ge noticed a receiving notification projected on the eyepiece. He immediately made a confirmation gesture, and the next moment, a split screen showing the drone's infrared view appeared next to the electronic map.

The six people waited in place for a while, and the drone arrived over the target village, immediately marking all living objects in the footage.

"37 living beings!"

Wu Xiaoyong said something and immediately took the rocket off his back. Ao Xiang and Li Dongshui did the same.

Wan Xiaofei visibly became excited: "We can launch a full-scale attack now!"

In their view, as long as a round of rockets and grenades is fired, it will only take one or two minutes to wipe out all thirty-odd people.

Drip!

Thor, wearing sensor gloves, quickly pointed to several locations on the electronic map: "Dog and White Leg, go to the sniping positions. God of Gamblers and Mouse, get close to scout and find the hostages and bodies. Shepherd, follow me to the attack positions to prepare!"

"Yes!"

Li Dongshui, carrying the 202 sniper rifle, immediately headed to the designated high point. Xu Ge had only taken a few steps when he suddenly remembered that Thor's individual combat system was still on his back, so he turned back.

At the crossroads, Wu Xiaoyong was confirming the hostage's identity with Thor.

"The hostages this time are one man and four women, one driver and four female tourists. If the murdered body is not found, have the drone fly low around the village and search again with night vision."

"Understood! Thor, do you have photos of the hostages?"

"Only military dependents, Shi Xing, female, 35 years old..."

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Ge suddenly rushed over, staring at Thor, "What did you just call military dependents?"
