This was a true test of wilderness survival. Su Tianming, along with his team members, needed to find water sources, hunt for food, and be wary of the ever-present dangers, which made their task extremely difficult.
Of course, other teams were not faring much better either. A large number of mercenaries had entered the Wilson Peninsula Forest; while their main target was Chinese special forces, killing those from other countries' special forces would also earn them a $100,000 bounty, still making it quite lucrative.
This was truly a chaotic battle.
"Report! Enemy situation spotted by 1st team, enemy situation spotted!" At this moment, Su Tianming's earpiece received a report from the reconnaissance隊員.
"Received. Reply," Su Tianming's heart sank slightly; he suddenly had an ominous feeling.
The enemy was spotted about five hundred meters ahead of me. Judging by their clothes, they are probably mercenaries, around twenty in number! There should also be some lagging behind at the rear!
At this moment, a fellow hidden in a tree far away also saw Su Tianming; when he saw those Chinese military uniforms, it was like a starving man seeing his most delicious prey, and couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Chinese special forces spotted. At 13 o'clock direction, five kilometers from the team," this mercenary reported back through the earpiece.
Su Tianming scanned the surroundings with binoculars and said, "Continue observation; report any developments immediately."
"What's going on" Zhang Hongqi came over to inquire.
"There are mercenaries, more than twenty," said Su Tianming in a heavy voice.
"Let's give it to them!" Zhang Hongqi clenched his fist fiercely.
Su Tianming pondered for a moment and still said, "This is our only way out. With such proximity between us, even if we try to transfer positions, they will catch up with us sooner or later. It's better to fight it out and boost morale."
"Give the order then," Zhang Hongqi looked at Su Tianming; during this leg of the journey, he had been the best helper to Young Master Su.
"Everyone prepare for battle! Enemy sighted seven kilometers ahead. Form your assigned combat formations and encircle them from both sides! Wounded soldiers stay put!"
"Yes sir!"
Su Tianming waved his hand and shouted, "First small squad, follow me!"
With that said, Su Tianming quickly ran off, with the four individuals close behind. This combat formation had been rehearsed countless times before they came to participate in this competition, so everyone was familiar with it.
At this moment, the mercenary scout perched atop a distant tree also spoke up: "Those Chinese Special Forces have dispersed; battle formation, now that we've been spotted, prepare for combat."
The mercenary hid exceptionally well among lush leaves, blending seamlessly with nature. Even if a Chinese soldier ran right beneath him, they wouldn't notice the living person above them.
"300 thousand RMB, 600 thousand RMB, 900 thousand RMB..." The mercenary helplessly watched as the Chinese soldiers under his gun barrel moved away. There was nothing he could do; he had to think about his comrades. If they opened fire now, the Chinese side would take other measures.
"Alas, for a moment there, I almost became a millionaire, enough to live comfortably無憂無慮地生活幾十年了。"
"Not bad, a few sitting ducks over there." This mercenary saw the stretchers in the bushes far away, which contained four seriously wounded Chinese Special Forces soldiers.
"One hundred and twenty thousand dollars in my pocket," he chuckled evilly, preparing to slide down from the tree to finish off the Chinese casualties and rip off their arm patches for the bounty.
But just as he had slid a meter down, a clean gunshot rang out, hitting him in the waist!
The mercenary suddenly felt pain and instinctively let go of his grip. He fell from the high tree.
Zhang Hongqi was crouching on another tree, immediately delivering another shot to finish off the mercenary who wanted to make money at the Chinese soldiers' expense.
Su Tianming charged forward while Zhang Hongqi stayed behind to cover them!
Dense gunfire could be heard from afar; clearly, Chinese Special Forces had engaged with mercenaries in battle.
Although the mercenaries were individually formidable and fearless in death, when it came to teamwork, they couldn't match the cohesive combat effectiveness of Chinese Special Forces. The new Longlin unit was well-organized with each person having a specific role. Thus, against the disunited mercenaries, they still held an advantage.
Especially Su Tianming's snipers who were deployed at the start to lay in wait; they demonstrated their prowess, causing this group of mercenaries to be stunned from the get-go and leave behind several corpses as they retreated.
Su Tianming’s side had two casualties, but overall it was relatively easy. But just then, his headphones received another report: South Korean Special Forces were spotted on their flanks—these were forces that would not back down until death.
By now, Su Tianming had no hope of reconciliation and could only rely on his remaining forces to fight desperately.
Through the dense foliage, Su Tianming faintly saw the slanted夕陽掛在天空上，如血一般的顏色。
It was already nightfall. Apart from occasional shrieks of birds, everything was ominously quiet. Wang Zheng had tied himself onto a tree branch twenty meters high to rest and prevent himself from falling off. Otherwise, it would be too tragic for such a renowned killer as him to die by falling out of a tree while sleeping.
Bella remained several kilometers away from Wang Zheng. These days, she hadn't engaged in any firefights but had effectively served as a scout for Wang Zheng. The two mostly maintained radio silence because they couldn't be sure if the special forces of some country might intercept their communications. This was war, not child's play.
At this moment, Draganter, who ranked second on the task guild leaderboard, had also completed his rest and recuperation. His previously sprained ankle no longer posed any problem; he now felt confident once more. He knew that this was a great opportunity to clear his name. Moreover, he heard somewhere about the demise of Zombi Brothers, which further confirmed for him that the Eastern Tyrant King was here.
Bella crouched in a lush shrubbery when a person rushed past her at a distance of十幾米，速度快得驚人。
"Someone is heading towards your direction, moving very fast. Looks like he's an expert," Bella whispered.
Wang Zheng had already fallen into deep sleep but jolted awake at the sound of Bella's voice through his headset.
"I'm ready." Wang Zheng untied himself from the rope and patted his head to clear his mind. Every minute in the jungle was fraught with danger. Based on Bella's observation, the approaching individual was a highly skilled solo fighter aiming straight for him.
"Be careful; I'll come to support you," Bella said. "If you encounter each other, I'll give them a shot at an opportune moment.". Everyone be on high alert! The showdown is arriving earlier than expected!"Facing the Eastern Demon King, Bisir wasn’t worried about the opponent being too powerful, as he himself was also very stro...
