They rested in the woods two kilometres away from the resort. At this time, no one made any loud noises. They all sat quietly in the designated place, preparing for the fierce battle in the second half of the night.
They still took turns to keep watch and rest. They then began to massage to relax each other’s muscles one-on-one.
Shan Ming was the happiest of all. He closed his eyes and enjoyed Shen Changze’s whole body massage alone without moving a finger. Although sometimes he thinks to himself that the current Shen Changze is very annoying but very powerful and he looks too different from the puppy who obeyed his words. But when it comes to hard work and caring for him, no one can compare to his son.
Shan Ming opened his eyes a little and sneaked a complicated look at Shen Changze who was earnestly relaxing his muscles under the dim light. He was not unaware that his dependence on this son was probably second only to his gun. In the past four years, he missed Shen Changze so much. Perhaps a large part of the reason was that he felt that without this person, his whole being was not right and his life was completely out of track.
He had to admit that he really missed the feeling of being taken care of by Shen Changze in every aspect. Except for this son, no one will bring breakfast to his bed anymore.
After the sun went down, the forest was so dark that they couldn’t even see their own fingers. Because they couldn’t light a fire, they could only endure the wet and cold environment in the dark, waiting for the time to raid.
Shen Changze put his water-proof cloth pad under Shan Ming’s body. There were two layers for him. The area of the water-proof cloth pad was too small to sleep for two people. So he leaned against the tree and hugged half of Shan Ming’s body in his arms. No one could see their weird position. So Shan Ming lay in his arms with a peace of mind, enjoying the warmth of the human body in the forest after the cold rain.
Two hours later, the night watchmen were replaced. Shan Ming and Shen Changze went on top and put on night vision goggles. They guarded the perimeter of the team with guns in their hands. Together with the others, they watched what happened in their direction.
At three o’clock in the morning, each of them got at least four hours of rest. Tang Tingzhi lightly snapped his fingers and everyone got ready to go. They approached the resort in absolute silence.
They were going to ambush the resort. Usually, Ayer gave orders to the ‘Peregrine Falcon’. However, considering that the three Chinese special forces would not accept the order from someone younger, the oldest and most dignified Tiger Shark took over the responsibilities as the captain. He began to do the distribution of combat power.
Tiger Shark’s voice rang hoarsely through the radio headset, “Kali and Vulture will first take the commanding heights of the sniper and take positions to block the enemy in the building. Tiny Knife and Zouhuo will go in as cover for Ayer, Shan Ming, and Shen Changze who were in charge of the first attack. At the checkpoint, Tang Tingzhi will follow Shen Changze. Pell, Job, and me were in charge of the second checkpoint while the others were on standby. After we wipe out the guards, Jushi and Crow will carry out gunfire suppression. Everyone will work together to destroy the frontal defences. Huang Ying will go to bury the mines with Dino and Koski. We will block all the exits for the enemy to retreat. This time, I have a special request and that is everyone should act in a group of at least three people. Fighting alone is not allowed. No one is allowed to be a hero. I won’t allow anyone to face the Dragon Blood Man alone. And finally, we must protect our client.” Tiger Shark took a deep breath and whispered: “Action!”
Taking advantage of the darkness, more than 20 people scattered to carry out their respective tasks.
Shan Ming and his team crawled forward and soon reached the first checkpoint. Two guards were smoking cigarettes to refresh themselves while chatting in a low voice. They hid in the grass not far away. They were only two metres away from the guards.
Shan Ming looked at the sloppy appearance of the two men and he could conclude that they were definitely not Dragon Blood men. He gently pulled out his sabre and crawled into the thick grass next to the checkpoint. He took a closer look. About two centimetres away from his eyeballs, there was a thin line that could hardly be discerned with the naked eye. He stopped his movement and then he slowly crawled back.
Ayer gestured and asked him if there was a booby trap.
Shan Ming nodded. He looked at the place within reach and occasionally there was a flash of light, which was the trigger wire.
Shen Changze made a gesture of “I’m coming” and was about to climb forward. But he was held back by Tang Tingzhi.
Tang Tingzhi quietly looked at the two guards who didn’t know they were about to die. With a light shake of his hand, two thin-bladed scalpels suddenly appeared between his three fingers. He swung them. Ayer felt a slight wind passing by his face and the two silver-white scalpels were inserted into the throats of the two guards accurately. The two of them fell to the ground without even making a sound.
Both Shan Ming and Ayer looked at Tang Tingzhi in surprise. They couldn’t believe that Tang Tingzhi had talents which did not match the image of a nerd and Frankenstein-like person he usually showed them.
Tang Tingzhi raised his chin, signalling them to move forward.
Shan Ming tapped twice on the radio and told the others that the first checkpoint had been knocked down. He got a quick reply and it seemed that Tiger Shark and the others had also succeeded.
Shen Changze crawled forward and then squatted up, carefully distinguishing the trap in the night. After a minute, he turned his head around and made a gesture for them to follow. He then turned his head. With an extremely soft gesture, he did a front somersault in the right posture and then continued to flip forward in a light posture. The remaining three people followed him closely. Once they touched even one switch, they didn’t know what was waiting for them. As far as Tang Jingzhi’s level is concerned, at least it can cause damage to even Dragon Blood people. If human beings with mortal bodies like them get affected, it is estimated that they can kill half of their lives.
There was no danger along the way and they successfully avoided the booby trap and entered the interior of the resort. Two groups of people quietly went around behind the defences composed of a small team of 20 people. At this time, Tiger Shark gave an order. Jushi and Crow opened fire with their heavy weapons and everyone in the defences attacked back and forth. No one in from the defences dared to show their heads.
The entire resort suddenly was blasted with the sound of loud alarms. Many people rushed out of the gate of the rather charming wooden resort. But they were shot back by Kali and Vulture. Just as they realised that there were snipers, they did not dare to come out rashly. They all returned to the wooden resort.
The defences did not last long. They all collapsed under heavy firepower. They successfully broke through the resort’s defences and entered the interior without a single soldier in their way.
At this time, a small missile with a flame tail shot out from the top of a wooden house resort. It blasted towards Kali’s hiding place and the trees on the hillside fell down in pieces.
“Kali!” Tiger Shark yelled.
Just when everyone was in fear, Kali’s voice came on the radio, “Damn, he missed the shot. But I was crushed by a fallen trunk.”
“Zouhuo, go!”
Zouhuo shouted eagerly: “Three hundred kilograms of wood. You think I’m Hulk?!”
Vulture shouted: “Tiny Knife will go to help. I will take care of the people at the top of the resort.”
Tiger Shark quickly ordered everyone to attack. The people in the resort were not sure whether the sniper had been killed so they were still hesitating to come out. This was the best moment to attack. The giant Jushi took the lead with the RPG rocket launcher on his shoulders and blasted the gate of the resort away.
