744: Hunter and prey.

He Rui led a small team and ran forward.

"Old Lu, were they sent by the Captain and the others?"

Lu Jing looked at Feng Jun and said.

"Now that He Rui and the others have gone to handle it, you can take a team over."

Feng Jun listened to Lu Jing's words, looked at the rifle in his hand, and then looked at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing had already sent people, what was he going to do?

Shen Yan also quickly walked up.

"Captain Lu, there are gunshots ahead. I request to go scout."

Hearing Shen Yan's words, Lu Jing said.

"You stay here."

Shen Yan lowered his head and squatted down beside him.

Seeing Shen Yan quickly squat down, Xiao Niannian curled her lips.

Her gaze turned to the distance.

Another team of Team Members walked over from the small path.

The smile in Xiao Niannian's eyes grew wider.

Grassland counter-defense—this was a plan she had proposed, and the Captain and the others had already put it into use so early.

It seemed the next few days would be even more interesting.

They had to divide the people into several teams, so that when hunters and prey fought, it would be more fun.

Hmm, for the next period, let Lu Jing and Political Instructor Qin arrange it. She would just enjoy the show!

Military Doctor Shen's gaze had been on Xiao Niannian. Seeing Xiao Niannian looking into the distance, he thought of some past events.

His gaze then turned to Lu Jing, whose face was serious as he looked straight ahead.

He said nothing, but his aura was very intimidating.

But it didn't scare him!

Something was wrong!

Military Doctor Shen's gaze retracted from Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian's faces and turned to the other Instructors, who also looked serious.

He immediately began to speculate.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Gunshots rang out one after another.

Many Team Members looked anxiously into the distance.

"Captain, we've caught two criminals; the others have escaped."

Hearing this, Lu Jing looked at the Second Team members.

"Second Team, send a unit to track their whereabouts..."

"Yes."

He Rui led his men over.

The two criminals were tied up and looked very ordinary. Many Team Members examined them carefully.

"Take them away for interrogation."

"Yes."

Soon, the team continued forward.

Feng Jun and the others saw Lu Jing constantly contacting the Team Members with a walkie-talkie.

He leaned over.

"Can your walkie-talkies be used in the mountains too?"

"Yes, but further into the mountains, they won't work. Then we'll have to use radios."

Hearing this, Feng Jun still looked at Lu Jing and his team with envy.

They had previously used only radios, and walkie-talkies were rare.

Lu Jing's equipment was truly excellent.

At noon, those searching for the criminals had not yet returned.

The training Team Members were all a bit worried now.

Meng Ning and Lin Shi discussed in low voices while cooking.

"Were those people today really criminals?" Gao Yao asked.

"They don't look like real criminals; more like a show," Lin Shi whispered.

"If they were really armed criminals, Captain Lu and Captain Xiao would definitely have intervened."

"Squad Leader He and his team wouldn't have let those criminals escape either," Meng Ning said with certainty.

"So, this is all an act?"

Gao Yao looked at the other Team Members not far away.

"Now that dozens of Team Members are gone, will we also be targeted?"

"If we're targeted, we're targeted. We'll fight them one by one," Lin Shi said, raising her fist.

Meng Ning also laughed.

Li Le and Qian Wu and the others also echoed their words.

Xiao Niannian stood not far away, listening to the words of the Womens Team members, and nodded with satisfaction.

When the incident happened earlier, she saw the Womens Team members looking a bit anxious, and then she heard their discussions. These elite Team Members reacted very quickly, and a portion of the Womens Team members also reacted quickly.

They knew something was wrong.

After lunch, the Team Members did not stop.

Instead, they continued walking.

No situation occurred during the afternoon hours.

However, the Special Forces Members who were sent out reported that they had caught five or six more criminals.

When it was almost dark, good news came back.

"All criminals captured, ten pistols and twenty grenades confiscated..."

This news was not kept from the other Team Members, and many of them were overjoyed.

"First Team elite Team Members, go and rendezvous with the other Team Members..."

"Yes."

Shen Yan saw that there were significantly fewer Team Members again, and he became even more certain of one thing. The criminals who suddenly appeared in this mountain had something to do with it.

Now Captain Lu sending these Team Members away must be for something else.

Could this be the hunter and prey scenario that Sister Xiao mentioned?

Xiao Niannian looked at the Team Members discussing in low voices not far away.

Actually, all the Team Members were carrying blank rounds, which wouldn't kill anyone. Only she and Lu Jing carried live ammunition.

Now those Team Members had automatically transformed into hunters, and they would attack the Team Members at night.

Xiao Niannian decided to eat more dinner tonight, then climb up a tall tree to watch the show.

They had already sent people to record the performance of all the Team Members.

Actually, the elite Team Members and Instructors who were sent out earlier were not sent for other missions; they entered the mountain in advance specifically to deal with these Team Members.

Her gaze turned to Lu Jing. This matter must have been the Captain and the others, along with Lu Jing, changing their minds.

They were originally going to do this in a few days. When she wrote the plan, she had picked two or three ambush points.

This particular point was not in the plan.

Hmph, Lu Jing was also keeping things from her.

The place they camped today was also by the river, but in this weather, the river water was not very deep. And there was a lot of grass around, with one team cooking in one spot.

"You must dig smokeless stoves to cook..."

Lu Jing gave the order.

Soon, people from each small team were busy with shovels and other tools.

Xiao Niannian ate a chestnut. So sweet!

Next time, she should put more chestnuts in her space; she liked eating them.

Xiao Niannian watched for a while, seeing these Team Members take turns digging the stoves. They quickly finished digging the stoves and started a fire to cook.

Everyone was busy with their own tasks.

However, the speed of the Chengdu team was slower than that of their Team Members.

"Dig deeper."

"You go gather more wild vegetables."

"See if there are any wild fruits in the mountains."

Feng Jun gave orders.

His Team Members immediately headed into the mountains.

Xiao Niannian had thrown a lot of seeds into this mountain before, and as she walked along today, she saw that some of the seeds had sprouted.

Sweet potatoes, potatoes—they had all sprouted.

Some fruit trees had also grown over a meter tall. Although they hadn't borne fruit yet, in a few more years, there would be plenty of wild fruits in this mountain.
