189: If they cannot be used by them, then kill them.

Is this person a savage?

There are actually savages in the mountains?

After several seconds, they realized that this was a person, not a savage.

But before they could even grab their guns, they heard two faint gunshots.

"Bang."

"Bang."

The two men fell to the ground, trembling all over, their eyes filled with fear. The next second, they stopped moving.

Brother Hao, who was laying mines, had just finished laying one when he saw two strange creatures standing in front of him.

They looked like humans but were covered in grass. Who were these people?

He immediately tried to make a move but was shot down and killed with a single shot to the head.

He looked at the few people in front of him with unwillingness, but his weapon was snatched away, and he was in too much pain to move... Seeing that all three people were dealt with, Lu Jing immediately ordered the reconnaissance Soldiers to continue forward, and the Soldiers responsible for mine clearance to continue clearing mines.

Instructor Qin was extremely happy looking at the camouflage on everyone.

Good stuff! From now on, whenever we go on a mission, we should make some of these. This way, we won't be discovered by the enemy. It's truly excellent... "They are about one kilometer ahead of us. Now we need to catch up to them and continue to investigate the situation..."

Several people responsible for reconnaissance followed the mine-clearing Soldiers forward.

Xiao Niannian also walked at the very front. The decisive battle was about to begin.

It was good to know that the Experts were all safe. When the fighting starts later, they must also pay attention to the safety of the Experts. Otherwise, those people would definitely use the Experts as hostages to deal with them.

"Old Lu, I'll take a group of people through the difficult path on the side. We'll surround them..."

After Instructor Qin and a few others discussed with Uncle Lin, they knew there was a small path here that could be used to outflank the enemy. They could set up an ambush ahead, and with a pincer attack, they could eliminate these people faster and better.

"Alright."

Lu Jing glanced at everyone and then agreed to Instructor Qin. He assigned half of the people to Instructor Qin, and the mine-clearing Soldiers all stayed behind.

This small path was only known to Uncle Lin and his group; Lin Da and Lin Shi didn't know about it either.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing led the other half of their teammates to continue clearing mines.

There weren't many mines left now, but Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing didn't dare to be careless, meticulously searching every area.

Soon, they were only about two hundred meters away from these people.

Although it was two hundred meters, in the mountains, a distance of two hundred meters was not like other places where you could see it easily.

The trees in the mountains were dense. This small path was due to people walking on it for many years, and they also brought machetes to cut down some trees. These growing trees and bushes also blocked these people... Brother Hu looked at Old Lin and Old Zhao. Now only Old Lin and Old Zhao were being carried, while Comrade Ning and Comrade Zhou were being supported as they walked.

At this moment, Old Lin and Old Zhao kept looking at these people. Originally, there were over fifty people, but now there were only over forty. Moreover, the majority were injured, and those with severe injuries, as long as their legs could still walk, were currently moving forward.

If they fell behind, they would not only be caught by the Military Unit and Public Security but also potentially eaten by wild beasts. So, no matter how much it hurt, they desperately kept up.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Someone had a severely injured leg, bandaged with medicine, but it was still bleeding. The person next to him was supporting him as they walked.

"I'm fine, I can still walk."

All these injured people understood that if they couldn't walk anymore, it would be a dead end. They didn't want to die; they wanted to live, for only by living would they have a chance.

"Let's hold on. I heard that in two or three more days, we can get out. As long as we don't go deeper into the mountains..."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed long-lost smiles. These past two days, their hearts had been somewhat flustered.

In just two or three days, they would finally be able to leave this place, no longer fearing animal attacks, nor fearing the Military Unit and Public Security chasing after them.

Brother Hu and Brother Lei smoked cigarettes, their gaze sweeping around.

"Brother Lei, don't you feel something is off?"

Brother Hu felt that something was amiss everywhere this time.

Brother Lei listened to his words, looked around, and said,

"Something is indeed off. Since things have come to this, if we can't complete the mission, then we save our lives."

Hearing Brother Lei's words, Brother Hu's gaze turned to the four Experts not far away.

"What about them?"

"The order from above is: if they cannot be used by us, then kill them."

Brother Hu nodded upon hearing this.

"Alright."

"We will definitely escape."

After Brother Hu finished his cigarette, he looked at the people cooking not far away.

"You guys speed up. After we eat, we'll continue on our way..."

Lin Da and Lin Shi stood not far away. They heard what Brother Hu and Brother Lei said, and their hearts were extremely panicked. They weren't very educated, but using so many people to capture these Old Comrades indicated that these Old Comrades were very important.

These people were utterly rotten.

If these people couldn't take these four Experts away, then they would kill them.

They absolutely could not let these people kill these four Experts, otherwise, their sin would be enormous.

They must make amends for their past mistakes and never make another one.

"Brother, we have to find a way."

The two brothers lowered their voices, quietly discussing.

In fact, they could have escaped long ago. When the animals attacked them previously, they had thought about running away.

But these four Old Comrades were very important. If they escaped, these people, in a fit of rage, might kill these four comrades, and the consequences would be unimaginable. So they didn't escape; instead, they continued to lead these people towards their destination.

"Let's observe the situation first. If there's another animal attack, we'll take the Experts and leave..."

Seeing someone approach, they immediately stopped their discussion.

Old Lin and Old Zhao also heard what the two men said. They knew that these people's warning was real and that they truly could do it. They hadn't not thought about escaping. But their physical stamina was not like when they were young. Even if they were five or ten years younger, they could have run with all their might.

But now, running a few hundred meters might cause them to collapse. This was deep in the mountains, and these people had also laid so many landmines.

They wondered how the comrades coming to rescue them were doing. They felt very guilty; if there were casualties, how could they face those comrades?

Comrade Zhou also heard these words. He looked at the other three and said in a low voice,

"If the comrades who are coming to rescue us arrive, we'll find a way... or if we encounter animals again, I'll take you all and escape..."

Comrade Ning looked at Comrade Zhou. He suspected Comrade Zhou in his heart, but he couldn't say it now, nor could he let Comrade Zhou know that he suspected him.

"Old Lin, Old Zhao, I will also find a way then."
