Girls und War

I have to say that Lieutenant Wu did a good job of maintenance. Each of the three guns in front of him was spotless and as clean as if they were brand new from the factory.

Even the two knives of Little Jack were taken care of in these "two years".

Although Xia Shu did not ask Lieutenant Wu to bring the knives as well, Wu still thoughtfully put the two knives in the airdrop box, probably because he was afraid that Xia Shu would forget them.

So Xia Shu sheathed his sword, put the magazine into his pocket, tied a white snow-white belt around his waist, and put on a camouflage cape, and soon armed himself to the teeth.

After applying camouflage to his face, Xia Shu picked up the messenger bird and handed the gun box containing the Gray Rabbit to the communications lieutenant, saying, "You guys keep this gun for now. If there's any special situation, I'll have you bring it back."

After the lieutenant agreed, Xia Shu turned around and said to Anna, "Let's go."

Anna nodded without saying anything more, but asked the communication team in the flower district to find the chief of military affairs in the camp.

Then he turned around very decisively, took Xia Shu out of the camp and ran towards the mountains.

The destination was a bit far, about ten kilometers from the camp. There were spare attack helicopters in the camp, but the two men did not take them for the sake of concealment.

Not even an off-road vehicle was called.

Xia Shu was wearing a panoramic color light night vision goggles with no blind spots on his head. It was the best night vision goggles on the imaginary battlefield and also the most expensive.

Ignoring the sunlight, the night is as bright as day. She and Anna can move forward briskly in such a dark environment.

The two fully armed snipers rushed forward on the mountain road without stopping, leaving the two signalmen far behind.

Xia Shu didn't really need them to help him fight, but only used them as liaisons. So he comforted the two of them, telling them to slow down and get to the agreed location in time.

Then, after a silent journey of rapid march, Xia Shu and Anna arrived at the target area before dawn.

This area was determined by Anna to be the area where the City Alliance is most likely to appear.

After arriving here, Anna took Xia Shu to a very exquisite observation point, pointed inside, and motioned Xia Shu to go in.

Xia Shu took a look and found that this observation point had a good view and was easy to hide in. The slope of the design opening was smooth, and it was obvious that it was suitable for lying in wait for a long time.

She knew that this must be the hiding place Anna had designed before, but perhaps because she had not been able to catch the target for a long time, she had temporarily retreated.

Xia Shu had no objection to lurking in the second-hand den. However, she was lurking here, and she didn't know how Anna would arrange it herself, so she asked, "What about you? Where are you hiding?"

Anna raised her hand and pointed ahead, as if there were other hiding places ahead.

So Xia Shu nodded and went into the hiding spot where Anna had been hiding before.

Seeing that Xia Shu was not being pretentious, Anna's mouth corners twitched slightly, as if revealing a slight smile.

But Xia Shu had already entered the hiding place and did not see it.

Then, Anna continued to jog forward with the gun in her arms, and soon disappeared from Xia Shu's sight.

Then, there was a long period of waiting and silence.

Xia Shu felt quite comfortable in this small nest made of dead branches and grass leaves, and could faintly smell a light fragrance.

I don’t know whether it was the body fragrance left by Anna in the hiding place, or the fragrance of the flowers in the surrounding vegetation.

Soon, the night passed, and the dawn light gradually penetrated the curtain of night.

At this time, a report came from Xia Shu's headphones. It seemed that the two communicators finally arrived at the agreed meeting place after a long and difficult journey.

Xia Shu looked back but didn't see the two communicators.

He said to them, "Then you should find a secluded place to rest. Take turns sleeping and don't fall asleep. If anything happens, follow my instructions."

Then he told them where he was hiding.

After the two agreed, Xia Shu used the morning sun to observe the valley in front of him.

The terrain here is very open, and Xia Shu is not sure whether the City Alliance will appear here.

749. Something is wrong

As the sun slowly rises from the east, everything in front of me becomes clearly visible.

This is a very open valley with lush green trees on both sides.

The vegetation in the valley is very lush, but not as dense as in tropical areas. Because the ground is made of friable sand and gravel, the ground cover of meadow vegetation is difficult to form into continuous patches.

However, the tree system can dig its roots deeper into the soil, so there are quite a few tall and short trees of various species.

From this side of the hillside, Xia Shu could easily see the entire valley. She could also see a rushing river flowing at the lowest point of the valley.

No one knows where the source of the river is or where it flows.

Xia Shu observed the valley for a while but didn't find anything unusual. Anna must have been here for a while, but he didn't know what she had discovered before.

Thinking of this, Xia Shu called out to Anna through the headset, "Miss Anna, are you there?"

There was a rustling sound of electricity coming from the headphones, and it seemed that the signal was not very good.

Xia Shu called out a few more times, "Miss Anna? Captain Anna? Ms. Anna? Sniper Anna?"

Just as she was about to change the name to "Baby Anna," the cold voice of the girl from the snowy area finally came from the earphones, "I heard it."

Xia Shu received the response, laughed, and said, "I thought you would be at least a little more enthusiastic when communicating."

Anna was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

"Well... there's no reason. It's just like someone who usually keeps quiet but talks a lot on the Internet. When you can't see someone's face, your mood will always be somewhat liberated." As if to dispel boredom, Xia Shu's thoughts gradually became more and more imaginative.

"You know, when I was in the Red Dragon Squadron, I once led an observer named Xiaotang. On the outside, she looked like you, cold and rude. But in private, she was full of dirty jokes, and her mind was always thinking about how to say something shocking." Xia Shu rambled on.

After listening to Xia Shu, Anna replied in a complicated tone, "...I'm not that kind of person."

"Well, you're not. I can see that." Xia Shu said with a smile, "If Xiaotang were here, she would definitely say, 'Xia Shu, you miss me so much, but you still can't forget the warmth inside me,' haha."

Xia Shu laughed dryly, but Anna didn't seem to get the joke at all.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so Xia Shu coughed twice and asked, "Where are you now? Can I see you?"

"Eleven o'clock, two hundred and twenty meters, I'm hiding behind the bushes." Anna replied quickly.

Xia Shu turned his head and looked in that direction, and sure enough, he saw a large cluster of thorny bushes growing under a tall tree.

It was not a pleasant feeling to be in the thorns, so Xia Shu asked, "Don't you feel uncomfortable over there?"

Anna was silent for a moment, then replied, "It's okay. The view here is better."

Xia Shu's mood suddenly became complicated. It seemed that the little girl gave up a more comfortable position for her, but she herself went to a less comfortable position.

"You don't have to be like this." Xia Shu said gently.

"Hiss-hiss-" There was a sound of electricity coming from the headphones, and Anna's voice seemed a little distorted.

Anna seemed to have not heard Xia Shu's words clearly, so she asked, "What?"

"Can you hear me?" Xia Shu also asked.

"I can hear it, but not very clearly," Anna replied.

So Xia Shu asked the two girls in charge of communications, "Communications team, what's the situation over there? How's the signal?"

After a while, the communication girl replied, "Report to the commander, our signal index here is very poor, and communication with the base is almost cut off."

"Where are you two?" Xia Shu turned around and looked at the valley behind him.

So the two of them reported their location.

"Go to the top of the mountain and go behind the huge rock above your heads. Put up the antenna and see if the situation will get better. Be careful to hide." Xia Shu quickly gave them orders.

"Roger that!"

After receiving the order, the two girls in the communication group quickly moved to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the signal seemed to recover slightly, and Anna asked, "Can you hear it now?"

"I can hear it clearly." After Xia Shu replied, he used a telescope to carefully observe the movements in the valley to see if there was anything going on.

After a while, Xia Shu asked again, "Anna, do you never bring any support personnel with you when you go out?"

Anna hummed, then replied, "The target is too big and easy to be exposed."

After hearing this, Xia Shu continued to ask, "What would you do if an emergency occurs?"

"There is a hidden sentry team two kilometers away. Once they hear the situation and my request for support, they will come here quickly." Anna replied quickly.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Xia Shu said in preparation.

After a while, Anna asked Xia Shu again, "Do you need support when you are carrying out the mission?"

"Me? I haven't found a suitable way of action yet. But in the past, I cooperated with small troops." Xia Shu said casually while observing the river at the foot of the mountain.

"You mean the Red Dragon Squadron?" Anna seemed very familiar with Xia Shu's past experiences.

"Ah? Oh yes, the Red Dragon Squadron." Xia Shu couldn't help but smile slightly.

"But you will be a one-man sniper team from now on, and your missions will not be linked to other combat personnel. Be prepared for lack of support." Anna kindly reminded her, and unknowingly, she seemed to start speaking in long sentences.

Xia Shu replied, "I understand."

Anna seemed to want to continue speaking, but Xia Shu suddenly made a "hush" sound.

"At two o'clock, a little further away, there seems to be some movement behind the tree." Xia Shu reminded.

Anna immediately fell silent and carefully observed the location Xia Shu pointed out.

And at that location, there seemed to be more than one person, moving forward cautiously along the woods.

Xia Shu said to himself, "Sure enough, there are fish."

Then he put down the telescope and aimed in that direction.

But before she could take the next step, a strange buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the valley.

The sound was like a swarm of bees pouring out of their hive and wandering around freely.

Xia Shu's heart tightened, and he felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to call Anna to ask what was going on.

But no matter how she called, the communication fell on deaf ears and there was no response.

750. Betrayal and Trust

After losing communication, Xia Shu subconsciously looked towards the huge rock on the hill where the communication team was located.

But the two girls over there seemed to be hiding very well, and Xia Shu couldn't see anything from here.

But before she could figure out whether there was a problem with the communication system, the "buzzing" sound in the valley suddenly moved from the other end of the valley to the sky above her head.

There were a large number of drones rising from the bottom of the valley and gradually covering the mountain.

Xia Shu took a quick glance and judged that there were about 10 to 20 drones in the group.

Like a giant fishing net, they spread out and hovered high above the mountain. The drones stopped moving, but Xia Shu knew they had completed their work.

These drones are undoubtedly a drone hive network used for information shielding.

The range in which the signal can be blocked depends on the shielding area of ​​the network and the thickness of the drone cluster.

As for these drones, it would be easy for them to cover an area of ​​five or six square kilometers on the top of the mountain and make any radio communication there impossible.

It seems that the other party came prepared and has made up their mind to control the information in this area first.

And then... there is no need to guess what happened next.

Because Xia Shu had already seen that in addition to the small group of people he had just discovered, there were several more teams that suddenly came from all directions to encircle and suppress this place.

Their purpose is very clear, they are here to carry out counter-sniper encirclement and suppression operations!

Xia Shu’s first reaction was – this is a trap!

The timing was perfect, and they didn't make any moves last night. But when the visibility improved the next day, they immediately implemented radio blocking—then used a small team to encircle and suppress them.

Xia Shu would never believe that the other party did not receive the message in advance.

But who is this trap for?

Anna?

No, Xia Shu now suspects that this trap is set against him!

It's very likely that the Snow District's initial target was himself! What Eagle District, what cooperation, it's all fake.
