Chapter 993 (1/2)
Chapter 132 Killing before dawn
It was impossible to start a fight. At this time, if Ji Feng and the others brought them along, then it would undoubtedly cause the Red Arrow Squadron's fighting strength to drop significantly as well. Moreover, the opponents had tens of people, so it would not be easy to charge out.
Therefore, Ji Feng gritted his teeth. Since that was the case, he might as well take advantage of the fact that Zhao Yongzhan and the rest had yet to fall into the enemy's hands and kill all those people surrounding the Special Forces silently!
Even if they couldn't get rid of all of them, they had to at least reduce their fighting strength by half. This way, once the two sides started fighting, the Red Arrow Squadron wouldn't be suppressed by their enemies' firepower.
What he needed to do now was to race against time. He had to get rid of as many enemies as possible before the sky brightened.
Actually, it wasn't just a race against time, it was also a race against the opponent's warning time.
Liu Xin retrieved a communication device from the body of the first person who was killed. Presumably, the voice that Ji Feng had just heard was that fellow reporting the situation to his superior. However, he hadn't discovered Ji Feng and the others at that time.
This fact was confirmed by Liu Xin's interrogation.
It was also because of this that Ji Feng and the others grew even more anxious, and their footsteps became even faster. Although they had just been alerted, they didn't have much time because they had to report every twenty minutes. It could be said that they were heavily guarded.
In the next report, Ji Feng and the others weren't sure if they could get past the obstacle, so they wanted to get rid of as many enemies as possible in the next twenty minutes.
Time pa.s.sed second by second, Ji Feng and the others circled the island, quickly pa.s.sing through the forest. Under the effect of the bioelectric current, Ji Feng continued to pull out the hidden sentries in the dark forest, as if it was daytime. After interrogating three or four sentries, he found that there was no difference from the first sentry's words.
Twenty minutes pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Gu Chao and the others had already expended much of their stamina. This kind of hasty march was extremely difficult, especially in the dense forest. One had to be on guard against any traps or sentries.
”Sir, reporting time is up …” Liu Xin said in a low voice.
Ji Feng waved his hand, and Liu Xin understood immediately. He immediately distanced himself from the others who were fluent in the languages of other countries, and reported the information according to the previous interrogation.
However, what surprised Ji Feng was that Ji Shaoyun was among the few people who were proficient in the languages of other countries.
”This kid has really grown up.” Ji Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. No wonder he was sent here as well. It seemed that he had truly learnt a whole set of skills in the Red Arrow Squadron.
After the report, everyone waited anxiously. They were afraid that something bad would happen to the other party. If that happened, they would be able to kill their way out. However, there was no way out for them now …
Pow!
The communication device had been disconnected, causing Gu Chao and the others to immediately reveal a look of joy. This was the successful outcome of the report, according to the previous report, the other end of the communication device would be broken after the report. That was why they didn't know anything else, but the higher-ups knew about their situation.
”Continue!” Ji Feng suddenly waved his hand. They had gained another twenty minutes!
Next, they killed a few more of the sentries. After which, Ji Feng gave the order and proceeded deeper into the island. They could no longer stare at the sentries and attack them.
On one hand, Ji Feng and the others only had sixteen people. Including Ji Feng, there were a few people who were not proficient in his language, so if he killed too many of his guards, his secret information would be exposed.
On the other hand, these hidden guards were only responsible for guarding and not attacking. Previously, when they had taken down the hidden guards, they had wanted to eliminate the potential threat and at the same time clear the way forward.
Now, they had to start moving deeper in.
Fortunately, the island was filled with dense forests, and dawn had arrived. Due to the dense forest and trees blocking the way, the inside of the island was also shrouded in darkness, and the lighting was poor. It was almost no different from night time.
Weng weng weng! *
Suddenly, Gu Chao's waist shook a few times. He immediately took out something that looked like a phone, lowered his head and looked around. After that, he made a series of hand gestures.
Ji Feng immediately understood that there was danger a few hundred meters ahead.
Ji Feng had seen this item in Gu Chao's hands during his first operation against Western Xia.
This was a heat detector. It set the standard to be the most sensitive to human body temperature. As long as there was a heat that did not come within the set range, the device would issue a warning.
When they were about to approach, Ji Feng finally saw the scene in front of him. There were five or six people who were willing to eat something, and this group of people were wearing green camouflage clothes. Moreover, their appearances were very similar to those of the other hidden guards.
