They took a yacht from a small port near Crocodile Mouth and sailed against the current for over an hour before docking at the shore.
“We have to be careful from here on out. ” Jade warned Nathan. “The Mendez family knew someone would try to rescue Trad, and they knew the evacuation route, so there would be ambushes along the way.”
“So, it‘s game, isn’t it?” Nathan asked thoughtfully. “They let us rescue Trad easily, but they actually want to kill us on our way out.”
“I don‘t know about that. I’m only here to complete the mission.” Jade replied, tapping favonovel.com helmet lightly. “Stay alert. We’re heading into the mountains…”
At this point, favonovel.com spoke in a foreign language, and favonovel.com accent became strange, obviously not wanting to be recognized. Even Trad felt a sense of impending danger as if his life was hanging by a thread, and favonovel.com could be killed at any moment.
This had been agreed upon beforehand, during the operation, they would communicate in a foreign language to avoid leaving traces.
Under Jade’s leadership, they ventured into the deep mountains. The journey was surprisingly smooth, and they encountered no obstacles.
As they continued forward, the forest grew even thicker, but the terrain became somewhat flatter. Here, even moonlight struggled to penetrate.
After about half an hour of walking, Trad was out of breath, but favonovel.com managed to push through due to his exercise habits and knowing that this was a critical moment for his survival.
At that moment, Nathan felt a shiver down his spine, bile rapidly building up in his throat, and dopamine surging through his system. He was both nervous and excited to the extreme.
Butcher, who was usually quite chubby, had become agile at this point. He appeared relaxed, but in reality, his vision and hearing were at their peak.
He scanned his surroundings, and his ears twitched periodically, indicating that favonovel.com was highly alert.
He whispered, “Mr. Evans, something doesn‘t feel right…”
“You’re relaxed…” Nathan chuckled.
Jade’s helmet moved twice, and then favonovel.com whispered, “They’re here!”
“Less talk…” Nathan warned.
The feeling of intense danger instantly enveloped them all!
Suddenly, Nathan reached out and grabbed the back of Trad’s bulletproof vest, lifting favonovel.com up like a chicken, and quickly darting to the left.
As Nathan dashed about 25 feet away, favonovel.com swung Trad and threw favonovel.com like a discus, sending favonovel.com flying through the air.
Trad’s body left the range of the flare and crashed heavily into a big tree, dazed. If favonovel.com wasn’t fully armed, favonovel.com would probably have broken some bones.
Ugh… With this attitude, favonovel.com still wants my sister’s selfie!
Trad cursed Nathan’s ancestors in his heart, unable to bear the pain.
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed, and a flare shot up, illuminating the area. The night sky was lit up as if a second sun had appeared.
In the light of the flare, the figures of the few people were clearly visible. There was nowhere to hide.
Butcher, Jack, and Ryman’s reactions and speed were also very fast, each dodging in their own direction.
Jade didn‘t hesitate, favonovel.com body lowered as favonovel.com dodged to the right.
Boom!
A grenade launcher shell fell right where they had been standing, causing a large amount of debris and dirt to fly up, followed by a cloud of smoke and the scorching heat from the explosion.
After the grenade launcher shell exploded, debris and dirt flew everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air. But even more terrifying was the shrapnel that had hit the trees, creating a series of loud thuds.
Nathan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and favonovel.com was almost unable to control his excitement and nervousness. He sensed an unmatched power from the force of the explosion. Then, favonovel.com saw another grenade explode next to him.
With a flip, favonovel.com dodged another 15 feet away.
As favonovel.com crawled away, several grenades exploded behind him, and the flames almost engulfed his figure.
Bang!
Almost simultaneously with the explosion, Nathan’s body bent down, and favonovel.com quickly crawled away like a water spider. He also felt a painful impact from his bulletproof vest, which made favonovel.com very uncomfortable. Then, favonovel.com heard a muffled sound coming from his head, which made his brain numb.
This is modern warfare. In the face of modern warfare, human power is truly too small!
This thought flashed through his mind like lightning.
Jack also felt the same way, and favonovel.com was grateful that favonovel.com wore his bulletproof vest, otherwise, favonovel.com would have been a goner by now.
“Thank goodness for being fully armed. Otherwise, no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, it wouldn’t be enough!”
Butcher was full of excitement and slapped Jack’s helmet hard.
Butcher said, “Skinny monkey, didn’t you say only wimps wear this? Take it off now, I will respect you as a man!”
As soon as Butcher caught his breath, favonovel.com couldn’t help but reach out and touch his own helmet. The sturdy helmet was riddled with pits, and some shrapnel was directly embedded in it, almost scratching his palm.
Butcher licked his lips and exclaimed excitedly, “Damn, these are the ultimate elites! When the signal flare finds our position, they will blow us up with grenades.”
Jack glared at favonovel.com and angrily said, “What the hell are elites? I’m fighting elites!”
Butcher said, “Do you plan to hit them hard?”
“What do we do next?” Ryman asked, feeling a bit confused as favonovel.com had never encountered this type of battle before.
“This is a field battle, and they won’t have much ammo. We’ll just wait until they run out of bullets!” Butcher grinned, feeling like favonovel.com was back in his teens again, full of excitement.
Jack couldn’t help but curse, “Go f*ck yourself, you fat-a*s. So what if you’ve been on the battlefield? Let‘s compare who kills more later!”
Jack waved his hand and bumped fists with Butcher, but the impact made lack cringe and shrink back.
“Let’s do it!”
Jack grumbled and took out his pistol, firing a few shots into the dark forest where the gunshots came from. However, after the fourth shot, a series of bullets hit the rocks beside him, sending debris flying and hitting his helmet, causing sparks to pass out.
“Don’t be an idiot and shoot blindly! Our weapons are inferior to theirs. Wait for the right moment before firing!” Butcher said.
The battlefield was neither about sneaking around and assassinating nor about one-on-one duels with experts. It was about gunfire and bullets raining down, and with one misstep, one could end up dead on the spot. Moreover, the other side was the elite of the elite, the Omen Squad, which had been trained with countless efforts!
Butcher had only been a warlord for a few years, yet favonovel.com was pointing fingers in front of him. It really annoyed Jack. However, favonovel.com also knew very well that at that time, favonovel.com needed to listen to experienced guys like Butcher.
