Chapter 251:
“Want to know?”
The Medic approached Xi Wa and asked quietly.
Seeing the Medic’s cautious appearance, Xi Wa thought the matter was settled and he could obtain intelligence on Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang.
So he hurriedly nodded, pretending to listen attentively.
“After I tell you, you must not let a third person know.”
The Medic had a serious expression on his face. If it weren’t for the fact that everyone belonged to the People’s Liberation Army and he didn’t believe in that, he would have made Xi Wa swear.
Seeing this, Xi Wa suppressed the secret joy in his heart and readily agreed.
“The situation of Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang…”
The Medic deliberately drew out his words here to whet Xi Wa’s appetite.
“How is it?”
Of course, Xi Wa was very quick on the uptake, acting as the straight man for the Medic.
“To tell the truth, I don’t know clearly either, hehe~”
Although he knew beforehand that it was basically impossible to get intelligence on Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang from the Medic, and Xi Wa was mentally prepared for that, when it came down to it, he found he couldn’t endure it at all.
Especially since the Medic’s smiling face was too obnoxious!
“Medic, why do you think people act so cheap?” Xi Wa said with a fake smile on his face.
Watching Xi Wa rub and crack the knuckles of his left hand with popping sounds, the Medic felt a chill down his back. He seemed to have played too far and gotten himself into trouble.
It was truly damaging 3,000 to himself to kill 800 of the enemy.
What a huge loss!
However, seeing that Xi Wa hadn’t made a move yet, he thought he could struggle a bit more.
“Brother, calm down! You must stay calm, don’t make a mistake!”
The Medic moved to the other side of the table, warily watching Xi Wa opposite him.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t beat Chen Xiwa. To not brag, in a one-on-one fight, he wasn’t afraid of anyone. Even against Chang Ning and Gao Zhong Dui, the Medic believed he could exchange a few moves with them.
Beating one Chen Xiwa wasn’t a sure win, but taking down the opponent in five or six rounds was still possible.
The problem was on someone else’s turf, and with Xi Wa’s current awareness, he probably wouldn’t get a chance for a one-on-one.
If Xi Wa were still the old naive guy, a few words to provoke him into a solo fight would be easy.
But now Xi Wa’s ideological awareness was really too high; he wasn’t easy to fool.
In summary, the Medic felt that admitting defeat was a very good strategy.
“Make a mistake? What mistake?
This is our Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company turf; no one will report me.
I think as an elite of Wolf Fang, you certainly wouldn’t do something like snitching, right?”
As he spoke, the smile on Xi Wa’s face became even more sinister.
These words directly left the Medic speechless.
Being caught red-handed by someone was embarrassing enough, and if Xi Wa cornered him in the camp and he got beaten by a group, the Medic felt that if word got out, he wouldn’t have any good reputation left in Wolf Fang.
“That’s what you say, but how do you know I wouldn’t report to superiors.
Beating a captive is a disciplinary violation, and strictly speaking, I’m now considered dead, so in exchange, you’re whipping a corpse.
If superiors find out about this behavior, do you think you won’t have to take off this military uniform?”
Although he was afraid of being beaten by a group inside, the Medic appeared quite tough. Not only did he not yield, he took the initiative and directly threatened Xi Wa.
Sure enough, being scared like this by the Medic, Xi Wa did feel a drumbeat in his heart, and the oppressive atmosphere he had created instantly vanished.
Noticing the subtle change in the surrounding atmosphere, the Medic understood in his heart that his rhetoric had worked.
If not strike while the iron is hot, then when?
“Besides, we’ve only known each other for a few months and haven’t seen each other since, do you really know me that well?”
Unbeknownst at what point, the Medic had already stood in front of Xi Wa.
While speaking, his index finger poked Xi Wa’s chest, punctuating each sentence with a poke, each one heavier than the last!
This was the result of his training in Wolf Fang; from this, one could see the difference in training content between special forces and field troops.
At this moment, the offensive and defensive positions had reversed.
Xi Wa was completely crushed by the Medic in terms of aura.
“I got separated from them; I can’t answer your question.”
On someone else’s turf, it was still best not to go too far. Although Xi Wa wouldn’t bully with power, things always had that one-in-a-million chance.
Therefore, after giving a lecture, the Medic gave Xi Wa his answer.
“Got it, rest well.
Someone will take you to the Operations Department in a bit; there you’ll see Red Team comrades.”
Not having obtained intelligence on Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang, Xi Wa didn’t want to continue arguing with the Medic, so he dropped a few words and left the tent.
Chang Ning, whom Xi Wa was thinking of, was currently lying prone in the meadow, eyes fixed on the front, motionless.
He had maintained this state for seven or eight hours already. His originally soaking wet pants had become damp under body heat, and his skin itched incessantly.
From Chang Ning’s twitching facial muscles and the occasional bulging masseter, it was clear he was enduring great hardship.
The culprits forcing Chang Ning to maintain prolonged stealth were Dog Head Old Gao and Gray Wolf Mada only 30 meters away; their postures were identical to Chang Ning’s, both lying on the ground.
“What’s the situation? Staying in one place for so long is very dangerous; we could be discovered by Blue Team scouts at any time.”
Ma Da looked at Dog Head Old Gao in confusion, not understanding why the commander and he had to stay in one place without moving.
The place they were lying wasn’t far from Lei Keming’s camp; they had already spotted two of Black Tiger Detachment’s open sentries, and while they hadn’t found hidden sentry posts yet, they were surely set up.
Was the commander looking for sentry posts? Ma Da guessed in his mind.
Dog Head Old Gao didn’t know how to appropriately answer Ma Da’s question. All the way here, he always felt someone was surveilling them.
But no matter what method he used, he hadn’t found the figure of whoever was tracking him and Ma Da, which was quite strange.
It wasn’t impossible that it was Operations Department people, but he had observed the surroundings and found no cameras.
If not Operations Department, then it could only be their own people. If it were Blue Team, he and Ma Da would have been taken out long ago.
Being able to lurk this long without being discovered by him showed it was an expert.
“The situation is a bit complicated; someone is surveilling us.” Dog Head Old Gao said softly.
Ma Da was his old brother; there was nothing he couldn’t say, except for confidentiality missions of course.
“What!”
Ma Da hadn’t expected to hear such an answer and immediately scanned the surroundings, even though he had already memorized every blade of grass and tree here.
“Ours?”
Not finding traces of the surveiller, Ma Da began to get a bit anxious, sweat beading on his forehead.
“There were many attack opportunities along the way, but the other side didn’t shoot, so this possibility can’t be ruled out.” Dog Head Old Gao said.
“No matter what, being surveilled feels too uncomfortable. We need to find a way to shake them off, identify friend or foe, and best case, dig out their tracks.”
Ma Da was highly tense, alert to every rustle around. If the ones surveilling them were Blue Team, the situation would be bad; he didn’t want to know what being pincered from front and back felt like.
