Chapter 808 - Enemy’s Reconnoiterer (2/2)

When they were in an environment where they could be discovered at any moment by the enemy forces, this sort of attire was very dangerous.

“You’re right. We’ll run into enemy reconnoiterers at any moment. If we’re discovered, the situation will be bad for us.” Xu Jun nodded.

“I got it.”

Xu Xin cast a puzzled glance at Chen Kai, who looked away. She agreed to his request and quickly brought out some medicinal liquid from her Universe Bag before she poured it on her clothes.

It was a concoction to remove color.

The light yellow dress quickly faded in color, and it was no longer as eye-catching as before. From the distance, she looked like a small gray dot, and if no one paid attention to her, it was difficult for anyone to notice her.

They resumed their journey.

The party of four had been moving forward silently for more than ten minutes, and they noticed that the frequency in which patrolling teams appeared around them had gradually increased. In fact, the terrain around them seemed to have been tampered with, and they could even occasionally see some crude looking traps in the area.

All this made the party of four instantly become even more cautious. They knew that they were now very close to the enemy’s main camp, because there were similar items near the Chinese army.

Xu Jun deliberately lowered his voice, but he still managed to send his voice in Happy and the others ears. “Very good, we’re at our destination. The map the system gave us has already begun automatically recording the situation. We just need to circle round the area once, and we’ll basically complete the second quest. Be careful. This segment of the quest takes up a rather high portion of the progress bar. Don’t expose yourselves.”

They nodded, held their breaths, and became even more cautious of their actions. They moved at an even slower pace than before, and they will stop and observe their surroundings once every 328 feet.

Happy took some time to cast a glance at the map. It now showed about one-tenth of the region, and if they continued progressing this way, in half an hour, they will be able to complete the most important part of the reconnaissance quest.

“Heh, this reconnaissance quest isn’t that hard…” Bloody Lake could not help but say and sneered at the back of the party. He looked up in a contemptuous manner and revealed a small part of his head from above a slope.

“It’ll soon be dark. Why don’t we stop and move when night arrives?” Happy looked at the sky and suggested.

“This place isn’t a good hiding spot. Let’s continue moving forward.” Xu Jun pointed at an area ahead. It was a concave slope. The terrain there was rather bumpy, and people could hide there.

“That place?”

The entire party peeked out of the slope, and a problem instantly fell on their heads.

Whoosh!

Dust suddenly stirred up right at the spot where Xu Jun pointed, which was the bumpy area in the distance. Several men in black crawled forward with dexterous movements, and at the same time, a piercing red signal shot out from one person’s hands. It rose to the air 656 feet away. With one loud bang, it exploded, and all those within a circular area of three miles could see it clearly.

The party’s expressions changed drastically.

‘Oh no! Enemy reconnoiterers!’

Xu Jun’s expression turned dark. He did not expect that the system will also take a fancy of the place that caught his eye, and it had even exposed their identities and positions.

“Kill them!”

Happy was the first to react to the situation. He shot out of the slope. “Once they release the signal flare, the patrolling soldiers nearby will soon come over, but if we don’t get rid of those reconnoiterers now, they will keep following us! By then, even if we run to the ends of the world, we won’t be able to shake them off!:

The alarm in Xu Jun and Bloody Lake’s eyes instantly turned into resolution and killing intent. They followed closely behind Happy and charged out of their hiding place, increasing their speed instantly to the limit.

Once the three-man recon squad noticed Happy and the rest, they did not leave after they fired the signal flare, because they could already tell that these four came from the plains, and they were in charge of reconnaissance. Their job was to keep an eye on these four spies while they waited for the patrols to come over.

But unfortunately for them, they were clearly too optimistic.
