As dusk fell, the moonlight leaked through the canopy, providing them with weak light. Falcon and Lily, who took the lead in clearing traps and mines, carried infrared night vision goggles. They were not far away from the enemies. They must be extra careful and keep their whereabouts a secret.
After narrowly avoiding four traps, they finally reached the upper side of the pirate camp. Although it was half an hour later than expected, the smell of meat wafting from the camp not far away told them that the timing was just right.
They found a drinking water source marked on the map and poured a bucket of colourless and odourless chemical agent into it that they had prepared in advance. The dose of 500 millilitres was enough for them to suffer from vomiting and diarrhoea after eating. They will lose their ability to move.
The next thing they have to do is to wait until most of the people in the camp are sick.
In the middle of the night, they saw through the binoculars the messy sight of people running out of the tent with their stomachs in their arms. Some jumped around for a while, trying to make themselves feel less uneasy.
Ayer distributed the task. Tiger Shark each led a team down from the high slope where they were lurking.
Shan Ming and Falcon each found their sniper positions and hid in the grass, waiting for Ayer’s order.
Both the terrain and the environment here are very suitable for ambushes. There are not many people stationed here. At most, there were not more than 300 people and many of them have fallen down now. The task this time is not difficult. They all think that after tonight, they can complete the mission, take the money and go home. So everyone was in high spirits, thinking about killing these people and going home happily for the New Year.
Clear instructions came from the earphones. Through the scope, Shan Ming saw the head of the guard who seemed to be close at hand. He gently pulled the trigger. The sniper rifle that had been silenced fired a deadly bullet. The guard’s head was hit with his blood and brain splattered. The guard tilted and fell to the ground. He and Falcon dealt with several guards one by one. They then clearly saw through the night vision scope that their people had quietly entered the camp. A large-scale massacre took place.
The sound of gunfire can be heard. The screams and roars continued to spread strangely in the forest. Shan Ming felt the blood in his body heat up. He kept charging, aiming, and shooting. The enemy under his gun was so fragile for him. They fell down before they could cry out.
Their positions were quickly discovered and bullets were shot at him and Falcon crazily. Shan Ming lay on the back of the mound with his head folded. The splashed mud and turf fell on him. He rolled slowly to the side. As soon as he rolled out of the range of the bullet, he jumped up and ran in another direction. After a while, the bombs began to attack their ambush sniper positions. Those bombs might tear off a layer of their skin.
Both Shan Ming and Falcon changed their sniper positions. They ran away after a few shots. The pirates were beaten to pieces by the ‘Peregrine Falcon’. They soon lost their energy to attack the snipers. The pirates in the camp seemed to be not good at fighting in the jungle. If they had been floating at sea, ‘Peregrine Falcon’ members with no experience in sea combat would not have accepted this task. Unfortunately, they were human and they had to go ashore. The sea is very close but these people have no chance to go to sea again.
Unsurprisingly, the battle ended within an hour. The entire camp had been completely bloodbathed by them. Countless corpses were dumped on the ground. But most of their personnel were not seriously injured.
The salty sea breeze wafts in the air mixed with the smell of blood. The smell is strong and disgusting. There are many scavengers in the rainforest. They have come here in batches following the smell to feast on the delicacy.
In the mission rating of ‘Peregrine Falcon’, this operation must be classified as the simplest one. The number of people is small, the terrain is favourable to them, and the opponent is still just a group of pirates who are not good at land combat. This is simply a Christmas gift for them.
Both Shan Ming and Falcon ran down the high slope and everyone searched the interior of the camp separately to make sure that it had been cleaned up and there were no survivors.
They found a lot of cash in the camp. Everyone threw away some cheap equipment in the backpack and put money in it. No matter what time it is, the loot always surprises people.
Shan Ming patrolled for a week with a gun in his hand. He smiled, “These pirates are really weak. It’s a good thing they don’t build their base in the water.”
Ayer thought about the benefits this time and beamed with joy.
Just as Tiger Shark was about to say something, he suddenly wrinkled his nose, “Do you smell anything?”
Several people nearby sniffed it, “It smells like liquid petroleum. Could it be that the petroleum barrel is leaking?”
“Go and check it out. Don’t let the liquid petroleum flow into the sea. Once the Madagascar government finds out, it may bring trouble to Kenya.”
Several people went out with each other and planned to check it out. They had just taken a few steps when a fire burst out from behind the camp. The flames engulfed the nearest tent in an instant.
“Damn it. Why did it start burning?! Who the hell? Who did this?” No matter who did it, if that person was too close to the liquid petroleum, it would probably be ashes by now.
As soon as Tiger Shark finished cursing, flames sprang up on the other side. The flames shot up into the sky for a while, illuminating the camp as bright as day. There were figures running in the nearby forest, which must not be one of their own.
Ayer yelled into the radio: “There are still pirates around! Be careful!”
A group of people ran out from the gap in the fire and into the forest, planning to fight the pirates who came out of nowhere.
Intuition told them that those people in the forest were the ones who ignited the liquid petroleum. But they were definitely not in the camp themselves. Otherwise, they would not have wiped out the pirates so easily.
Then, these people may have been waiting around for a long time. Are they just waiting for the ‘Peregrine Falcon’? Everyone was clouded with doubts. If this group of people came specifically for them, they must already be prepared. Who are they? And what is their purpose?
This question was quickly answered. Koski’s gnashing of teeth was heard in everyone’s earphones, “It’s that son of a bitch!”
Everyone’s heart sank to the bottom.
They fell for a trap. The other party dug a trap for them in the corner of this island surrounded by water and in the corner of the deserted rainforest. No matter whether they can get out of this forest alive or not, they don’t believe that they will see the Kenyan government coming to pick them up. The Madagascar government will send troops into the rainforest to investigate the truth about the burning of liquid petroleum. They have nowhere to escape and will be trapped to death here.
Who sent these Dragon Blood men here? Everyone had already guessed in their hearts.
After coming out of the camp, they were greeted by bullets and attacks from Dragon Blood men. Most of them had already been scattered. Shan Ming was walking through the rainforest with a gun but he knew that they must not be far from each other. They were covered in gunpowder smoke and the smell of liquid petroleum. For the nose of the Dragon Blood Man, it is easy to find them.
Is it Shen Yao? Who else can it be other than him? Shan Ming clenched his teeth, wishing he could chew Shen Yao’s heart.
A black shadow flashed past in the woods around him.
He was caught up.
Shan Ming no longer ran. He instead leaned against the tree trunk. His heart calmed down.
Maybe today was the day of the end of ‘Peregrine Falcon’. At his end, he at least had taken a Dragon Blood Man as a son and he will always have company when he goes to hell.
Shan Ming pricked up his ears to listen to the other person’s movement. He counted ‘one, two, three’ in his heart. He suddenly turned around and jumped out of the tree trunk, shooting desperately at the person.
The 30 rounds of the MP5K went blank in an instant. The man rolled to the ground. While he was changing magazines, he threw a knife at 0.3 seconds. It passed over his shoulder, causing him a burning pain.
The black shadow rushed in front of him at an astonishing speed. Shan Ming grabbed his rifle and slapped him hard on the head. The man let out a muffled snort. He then punched Shan Ming in the face with his fist, making Shan Ming dizzy.
The two were fighting together in the dark woods under the thin moonlight. But Shan Ming soon realised that he was no longer the opponent of the other party. This person was a Dragon Blood Man. Those with the dragon blood gene are filled with strength and speed. After being punched on the temple, a white light flashed in front of Shan Ming’s eyes. In this white light, he vaguely saw Shen Yao’s cold face.
