178: Chapter 178 Live Ammunition

“Qin Mo, what do we do now?” Platoon Leader Ji asked from the side.

Qin Mo lowered his head and began to think.

Right now, the enemy was in the dark, and they were also in the dark. The gunshot just now meant that these people were somewhere nearby.

Thinking of this, Qin Mo scanned his surroundings.

Besides the dense forest, there was only the river ditch in front of him. Although there were many trees, it seemed unrealistic to fire from above at the river ditch and take out so many people at once.

The only possibility was that the other party was also in the river ditch, so they had nowhere to hide, which was why they were completely wiped out.

Having figured this out, his gaze instantly locked onto a large rock in the distance of the river ditch.

“You guys wait here, I'll go take a look!”

Saying this, Qin Mo carefully crept toward the back of the large rock.

Platoon Leader Ji and Ye exchanged a glance, then followed Qin Mo's instructions and stayed where they were.

Before long, Qin Mo reached the back of the large rock.

Unsurprisingly, there was no one there; it seemed they had already left.

The empty bullet casings on the ground confirmed Qin Mo's guess was entirely correct.

Qin Mo immediately bent down, picked up a shell casing, and walked to the other two.

“How is it? Did you find anyone?” Platoon Leader Ji asked, confused.

Qin Mo took out the shell casing and said helplessly, “We're too late, they've already left!”

The two didn't say anything upon hearing this.

“However, it's highly likely they've gone to find us.”

At this point, Qin Mo looked up at them and revealed a faint smile: “Three against eighteen, are you afraid?”

“If we were afraid, we wouldn't have come.” Platoon Leader Ji said helplessly.

Qin Mo nodded: “Let's go! Let's get something to eat first. We haven't eaten all day. We'll probably have to spend the night here and continue looking for them tomorrow!”

The three of them then walked towards the beach.

...

At this moment, in the command room.

The Brigade Commander's face was extremely gloomy. He didn't expect that Qin Mo had just given him a huge surprise, while the others had played a huge joke on him.

Ninety people in total! Just like that, wiped out by eighteen people?

Officer Hu, who was on the side, kept his head down and didn't speak. He was the chief instructor for these New Recruits, and he was directly responsible for such a large disparity in strength among his subordinates.

But he also hadn't expected that the performance of these New Recruits was actually quite good! How could there be such a huge gap?

“Hehe...”

“There really is a gap between people! An eight-to-one combat ratio, the advantage is with me!”

Just then, a mocking voice sounded.

Needless to say, the one speaking was the Navy Admiral from the Beautiful Country.

Since stepping into this command post, both sides had often ridiculed each other, seizing every opportunity to humiliate the other.

Previously, he had been fiercely mocked by the Brigade Commander because of Qin Mo, and he had been holding it in. This time, he truly felt vindicated.

“Is that so? A twenty-six-to-one combat ratio and they were taken out by our three people. I really don't know where you get the courage to speak?” The Brigade Commander retorted, not to be outdone.

He then looked at Instructor Hu and roared: “What are you still standing there for? Tell them to get back here for extra training!”

“Yes!”

Instructor Hu stood straight and immediately jogged out.

“Hehe...”

The Navy Admiral from the Beautiful Country sneered: “Trash is trash! No matter how much you train, they won't become useful items!”

“Indeed!”

“Then I trouble you, Mr. Navy Admiral, to quickly take away that trash in your pit. Otherwise, if they freeze to death tonight, there will be a few less pieces of trash in this world! Don't you think?”

“You...”

The Navy Admiral pointed at the Brigade Commander, wanting to say something, but immediately stopped.

He turned to the Captain beside him and whispered: “Have they arrived? Act quickly!”

“Yes!”

The Captain nodded and left the room to urge them on.

...

In the blink of an eye, it had turned dark.

Although it was nearly December, the island was close to the south, so there was no feeling of cold at all.

At night, all kinds of fierce poisonous insects and beasts came out to forage, and the sounds of various animals echoed constantly from all around.

For safety reasons, the three eventually chose to sleep in the trees. After all, if they were on the ground and a pack of wolves came at night, all three of them would be done for.

“Eat! We can't start a fire at night, just make do!”

Saying this, Qin Mo placed a few pieces of prepared raw fish in front of the two.

The three of them weren't fussy people; having something to eat was good enough, and they didn't pick and choose at all.

After eating, the three each found a tree and fell asleep.

...

In the middle of the night, Qin Mo was woken up by a cold breeze.

He immediately heard a rustling sound and woke up instantly.

Someone!

A thought popped into Qin Mo's mind.

He then jumped down from the tree calmly, without making a sound.

Following the source of the sound, Qin Mo carefully arrived under a large tree.

In front of the tree, there was a small campfire, and around the campfire sat a team of people. It was Tom and his group.

What made Qin Mo feel puzzled was that there were a few new faces in Tom's team.

Qin Mo immediately frowned; he had never seen them before.

At this moment, this group of people was chatting and laughing.

“Klov, my friend! You came just in time!”

Tom smiled and said to a burly White man.

The White man gave him a hug and laughed: “This time I've brought you all good things!”

“XM5, super assault rifles! Besides that, there are also M27IAR rifles!”

“Oh, my God! Thank you so much! With these things, the three monkeys from the Dragon Country will definitely not be able to leave this Cannibal Island!”

Having said this, Tom revealed a terrifying, sinister smile.

Qin Mo, behind the large tree, had his pupils constrict.

This is... live ammunition?

Damn it! This group of people actually has foreign aid!

Thinking of this, Qin Mo retreated calmly.

He immediately woke up Ye.

“What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?”

Ye looked at Qin Mo, confused.

“Stop sleeping. I'll tell you later. Wake up Platoon Leader Ji first. We need to move locations immediately; we can't stay here!”

Saying this, Qin Mo stood by, alert.

After the two walked over, the three of them took advantage of the darkness and headed towards the depths of the dense forest.

The three didn't stop for a moment on the road, walking hard for nearly three hours until dawn.

They were now in the very center of the dense forest, at least four hours away from the outer perimeter.

“Qin Mo, what exactly happened last night?”

Taking advantage of the three sitting on the ground to rest, Ye frowned and asked.

Platoon Leader Ji also looked over; she also wanted to know what had happened last night, otherwise, why would Qin Mo make such a big fuss and leave before dawn?

Qin Mo looked solemn when he heard this: “I saw that group from the Beautiful Country had switched to live ammunition!”

“What did you say?”

The two widened their eyes in shock.
