96: Ready to go, next target

The Death Warrior looked at the direction Wild Wolf pointed, then quickly contacted the buck attack helicopter to have it observe first, stating they would arrive shortly.

On Jackal's side, he had been observing the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group's actions from a high slope. The members of the Jackal Squad actually wanted to follow; as mercenaries, if the Wild Wolf Squad dared to capture a scout while the Jackal Squad cowered behind, word getting out would make them the laughingstock of the mercenary circle. However, Jackal was exceptionally cautious and used his authority as captain.

He forcibly suppressed his team members' impulses, earning himself a fair share of complaints.

But when the Wild Wolf team was discovered as if by a cheat, and then completely wiped out by the attack helicopter, all the members of the Jackal Squad looked at Jackal with eyes full of disbelief!

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and run! To stay alive, that fellow Wild Wolf definitely won't hesitate to sell us out!" Although Jackal's face was calm, the slight trembling of his brow betrayed his inner panic. What he found most unacceptable was how the enemy knew the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group was approaching. Given the professional nature of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, if there were surveillance devices, they definitely wouldn't have missed them. This whole situation felt eerie no matter how he looked at it!

Upon receiving Jackal's order, the squad members snapped out of it and immediately gathered their gear, accelerating into the nearby forest. They were battle-hardened warriors and naturally knew how ridiculous it was to face an attack helicopter with their bare bodies. Of course, this was also because they didn't have any man-portable air-defense systems; last time, this mysterious force hadn't shown any aerial combat capabilities.

Jackal Squad's choice was correct. When the buck attack helicopter flew over, it only caught a glimpse of the direction the last member of the Jackal Squad had taken. Due to the dense mountain forest, it was indeed no longer suitable for the attack helicopter to pursue.

The Death Warrior piloting the buck attack helicopter relayed the information back to the ground forces.

At this moment, nearly a company of Satans Armed Forces had gathered on the ground. Hearing that the enemy had hidden in the forest, the leading Second-level Death Soldier Commander showed a slight, excited smile.

He immediately called out Death Warriors from various squads and platoons to form a temporary team, saying, "Follow me in pursuit. The operation code is Cat and Mouse. Try to capture them alive, but if there's danger, you can kill them directly."

"Yes!" a group of Death Warriors shouted in unison.

Then, the Second-level Death Soldier took the lead, rapidly rushing toward the direction indicated by the attack helicopter, with the other Death Warriors following closely behind.

By this time, the Jackal Squad had been sprinting through the dense forest for five minutes. Under normal circumstances, given a mercenary's physical fitness, after five minutes of armed cross-country running in the mountains, anyone else without assistance would basically give up the pursuit. After all, the physical fitness of ordinary soldiers doesn't vary that much; being five minutes behind in a dense mountain forest makes finding someone like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But they had encountered the freakish Death Warriors.

"Boss, it's enough. We've run so far, and the attack helicopter hasn't followed. The enemy must have given up the chase," said a member of the Jackal Squad, gasping for breath on a ridge.

Jackal was also red-faced, looking quite exhausted. He scanned the surroundings and said, "Alright, rest here for two minutes. Once the time is up, continue the withdrawal."

Hearing Jackal's words, the team members quickly collapsed onto the ground. There was no helping it; sprinting for five minutes with a heavy load was pushing the limits of the human body.

On the other side, the Death Warrior squad arrived at the edge of the forest.

The Second-level Death Soldier lightly waved his hand in front of his nose, then pointed in a direction and said, "This way, let's go!"

Immediately, the group of Death Warriors quickly disappeared into the forest.

After the Jackal Squad had rested for about a minute, Jackal's body suddenly reacted, goosebumps instantly covering his skin. This jolted Jackal's spirit, and he said quickly, "Danger is approaching, let's run!"

However, just as Jackal finished speaking, a series of gunshots rang out. Bullets accurately struck the grass in front of Jackal and the others, kicking up clumps of dirt!

"Hehe, trying to run? Too late!" A cold laugh suddenly rang out, and then a squad of well-equipped Death Warriors appeared abruptly before Jackal and the others, their muzzles pointed directly at their foreheads!

"Impossible, this is impossible! How could you be so fast!!!" Jackal shouted in despair as he looked at the pursuers.

The other members of the Jackal Squad were also dazed. It turned out their five minutes of high-speed, heavy-load sprinting was for nothing; they were caught in just one minute. Were these people aliens?

As soon as this thought occurred, everyone couldn't help but recall what Mike had said before he died—that an unknown creature had appeared on the battlefield. Could it be these people?

The Second-level Death Soldier Commander didn't bother wasting words with them; anything they wanted to know would be handled by someone else during interrogation. He waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to restrain Jackal and the others.

Just as a Death Warrior approached Jackal to restrain him, Jackal's eyes turned cold. He suddenly dodged backward, a combat knife appearing in his hand, intending to press it against the Death Warrior's neck in a final struggle!

But in the next second, a thick, powerful hand accurately grabbed Jackal's wrist. Then, with a crisp snap, the hand Jackal used to hold the knife was broken, and the combat knife fell uncontrollably to the ground.

"Heh, trying to pull that on me? Maybe in your next life!" the Death Warrior responsible for restraining Jackal said with a contemptuous sneer.

Because of Jackal's resistance, the Death Warrior then proceeded to break Jackal's remaining limbs one by one. For a moment, screams echoed through the forest... Half an hour later, Qin Yang learned the purpose of Jackal and his team's arrival. He only listened briefly before handing them over to be dealt with. The final outcome for these people would be death. A few small mercenary groups dared to target him; they were truly like an old man hanging himself—tired of living!

In the past two days, after reorganizing the armed forces, Bodo and the others discussed a new round of war routes.

Dora City is located on the southern border of An Country. There are six cities around it, excluding Waxi City. The Government Army and the rebels each control three of them. If all six cities are occupied, the Satans Armed Forces will be able to directly face Luoda City, the capital of An Country.

Luoda City is the wealthiest city in all of An Country, with many large oil fields nearby. As everyone knows, crude oil is money. Especially in the vault of the National Bank of Luoda City, it is said there are nearly three hundred tons of gold and over a hundred billion US dollars in cash foreign exchange!

As long as he could get this money, Qin Yang's career would take off instantly. Therefore, Luoda City was a tough nut that the Satans Armed Forces had to crack!
