Chapter 256:
Ma Da was guarded extremely strictly by Black Tiger’s soldiers, which left him with absolutely no opportunity to contact Gao Zhong Dui.
Now he was just afraid that Gao Zhong Dui didn’t know the situation and would run over here to check, and if Black Tiger’s people ambushed them, they would really become a joke.
If it even reached the higher-ups’ ears, it would be game over!
Southeast Military Region Wolf Fang Special Forces Detachment’s elites traveling a thousand miles to deliver heads—if this reputation spread, He Da Dui would kill both of them.
Thinking of the serious consequences, Ma Da decided he couldn’t sit idly by.
“But I just want to know now, what to do?”
“What did you say?”
The Black Tiger soldier who discovered Ma Da somewhat suspected if he was hallucinating.
Normally, captives wouldn’t do anything that might anger the other side, but this guy who seemed to be from Red Army Special Forces wasn’t playing by the rules.
Was he trying to provoke me?
Regarding Ma Da’s abnormal behavior, Black Tiger’s soldier’s mind was frantically alerting him.
Something unusual must mean something’s wrong!
No matter what, staying vigilant wouldn’t hurt.
Seeing the soldier in front of him highly nervous, with his index finger on the trigger, Ma Da knew his goal was almost achieved.
Now it was either he gets discovered by more Blue Team and eliminated, or he takes out the opponent solo before reinforcements arrive.
“I said I want to know now.”
Ma Da tried his best to close the distance before the other reacted—not that he didn’t want to shoot first.
This was Black Tiger’s turf; gunshots would definitely alert the entire camp, so avoid shooting if possible.
Besides, he had no confidence in shooting first; they were all professionally trained soldiers, and Ma Da wasn’t necessarily better than Black Tiger’s people in some aspects.
“Stop! Don’t try any tricks!”
Seeing Ma Da slowly approaching, Black Tiger’s soldier’s alarms went off loudly in his mind.
Combined with how he’d been acting sneaky before and still not being honest after discovery, this series of actions made it hard not to stay vigilant.
What are you doing, kid? You don’t sympathize with an old comrade at all.
Ma Da helplessly retracted his right foot that he’d stepped out; he hadn’t wanted to use his gun, but now it seemed he had no choice.
“I’m telling you, better not try any tricks—stay put honestly.”
Black Tiger’s soldier said, holding his gun.
As long as he kept eyes on Ma Da and held out until the comrades he called arrived, the mission would be complete—maybe the Captain would give him a commendation after the exercise.
Thinking of his bright future, the soldier’s gaze toward Ma Da softened a lot.
This wasn’t a captive at all—it was clearly shiny military merit and commendation!
Though maybe not enough for a Military Merit Medal, accumulating little by little, he should still get “four haves.”
The soldier’s thoughts Ma Da wouldn’t know, but based on his experience as an instructor, this kid in front of him was definitely dreaming of something good, and it involved him.
That little look made Ma Da feel uncomfortable all over.
“What’s going on? Black Tiger’s people can do mental damage too?”
Ma Da was shocked and suspicious inside, thinking today was an eye-opener—like pulling a knife on one’s own buttocks.
Besides interrogation, there was such sharp mental damage—this kid was a genius.
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t move.”
Ma Da raised his hands to his chest to show he was no threat.
While the two were locked in a battle of wits, Ma Da heard footsteps, and the sound was approaching them.
No need to say, it must be Black Tiger’s people.
Hearing the sound, the two had different expressions: the Black Tiger soldier guarding him clearly relaxed, while Ma Da’s whole face fell.
He was now considering pulling the glorious bullet on his chest once more Black Tiger people arrived—being a captive was absolutely not an option; He Da Dui would drill him to death.
What’s more, captured by Lei Keming’s soldiers—it was losing face in front of an old comrade.
To give an inappropriate example, like drinking and chatting at a friend’s house, then getting schooled by the friend’s kid over something, and the kid being right.
Ma Da’s current mental state was: no matter what, can’t lose face in front of an old comrade.
A twist in the road, flowers in the dark willows.
Previously, Ma Da hadn’t had a deep impression of these two phrases.
Just now, right now, Ma Da’s understanding of those two phrases reached a new height.
“Clang~”
A muffled sound, and the Black Tiger soldier guarding him rolled his eyes and passed out.
“If you hadn’t come, I was planning to give this kid some Wolf Fang shock.” Ma Da said to Gao Zhong Dui.
“Give me a break, I’m too lazy to ruin your show.”
Hearing this, Gao Zhong Dui felt a tiny bit of regret—he shouldn’t have stepped in.
Of course, Gao Zhong Dui knew that even if he hadn’t, Ma Da would have solved this trouble eventually.
Ma Da smiled, didn’t continue bickering with Gao Zhong Dui; he went over to help lift the Black Tiger soldier on the ground with Gao Zhong Dui, propping him against the tent.
Neither showed any nervousness—to think Black Tiger’s people were just one or two tents away.
If not for the tents in between, the two sides would have met by now.
Gao Zhong Dui took a hand grenade, pulled the pin, then stuffed the hand grenade under the unconscious Black Tiger soldier.
Using body weight to press the hand grenade, so if anyone moved the soldier, it would explode.
A simple and effective booby trap was set up just like that.
This was the difference between veterans and newcomers—newcomers absolutely didn’t have Gao Zhong Dui and Ma Da’s big heart.
Black Tiger’s people were already right under their noses; around these few tents and they’d meet face-to-face.
If not handled well, Gao Zhong Dui and Ma Da would be instantly focused-fired, and their plan would naturally fail.
“Let’s go.”
After setting the booby trap, Gao Zhong Dui patted Ma Da’s shoulder to signal retreat.
At this point, their plan to infiltrate Black Tiger Camp for explosives was bankrupt.
But it wasn’t a total failure; according to Gao Zhong Dui and Ma Da’s tally, they had over ten hand grenades swiped from Black Tiger.
With these over ten hand grenades, it was enough to give Lei Keming some trouble.
Next, just follow the plan to lure Black Tiger’s soldiers into the trap.
As for how many could be eliminated, only heaven knew.
At this stage, no people, no weapons—Gao Zhong Dui and Ma Da could only do their best and leave it to fate.
“Quick, go report to the Captain that Red Army infiltrated the camp.”
Looking at the comrade breathing steadily on the ground, Viper felt the situation was a bit tricky.
“Don’t move!”
Seeing someone about to move the unconscious soldier, Viper immediately stopped them.
Able to sneak into their camp silently meant the opponent’s individual quality was very high—better not move the “corpse” until the situation was clear, in case of a trap.
On a tree crown a few hundred meters from the camp, Chang Ning’s crosshair was aimed at Viper, his index finger several times resting on the trigger.
As long as he gently fired, he could eliminate that obvious Blue Team officer.
But in the end, he gave up.
“Forget it, Lei Keming hasn’t appeared yet—exposing early isn’t worth it.”
