Chapter 188: Why Is It You!
Group B stumbled all the way to the meeting hall.
Inside, besides a few matching tables and chairs, there was nothing else. It seemed that after building such a large training ground, Gao Zhong Dui’s budget was almost spent.
Next, going up the stairs led to the Captain’s Quarters and the deck, while going down led to the Engine Room.
Whether it was the Captain’s Quarters or the Engine Room, Gale might choose either, leaving Group B in a dilemma for the moment.
“Sha Po Lang, Siberian Wolf, Mountain Wolf, you three go to the Engine Room as a group. The rest of you come with me to the Captain’s Quarters.”
It was a choice between two, 50% probability. Geng Jihui didn’t want to gamble. He was afraid Gale’s people would slip away again, and finding them again in such a large training ground would be difficult.
He had finally cornered them here, and he didn’t want all his previous efforts to go to waste.
“Received.”
Chang Ning led Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao slowly approaching the Engine Room.
CQB combat was relatively brutal; only one side could survive, and basically no one was left alive, so Chang Ning preferred to go slow rather than be eliminated.
The three took turns providing cover, advancing orderly toward the Engine Room.
To make the model more realistic, Gao Zhong Dui had put in tremendous effort, even simulating the sweltering environment of the Engine Room.
The environment here was more complex than the two upper floors, with pipes everywhere.
“Careful!”
Lao Pao stepped sideways to the left, blocking in front of Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang, and fired at the pipes ahead.
Just now he had seen a shadow moving, so he instinctively blocked in front of Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang.
Training bullets hit the pipes, making a series of clanging sounds.
“Forest Wolf, I see them, in the Engine Room.”
Chang Ning reported what he saw to Geng Jihui, asking him to bring the others down.
Gale’s four people and Chang Ning’s three engaged in fierce firefight in the Engine Room.
“Cover!”
After signaling to Lao Pao on his side and Xiao Zhuang behind him, Chang Ning rolled forward under the intense firepower cover from his comrades, leaning against a thick pipe large enough to block his half-squatting body!
They were completely in the dark about the situation ahead and knew nothing, so just exchanging fire with Gale’s people wouldn’t cause them substantial harm.
“I didn’t expect this battle to be so frustrating, what a disgrace!”
The Gale Captain said with self-mockery. In fact, from the start, he hadn’t thought Gale could win.
Whether it was training projects, training facilities, or even special funds subsidies, Gale couldn’t compare to Lone Wolf.
Moreover, Lone Wolf’s teammates were all experts in certain military fields, and Gale was far behind them. What could they use to win!
Even so, he didn’t want to admit defeat, and neither did Gale’s other teammates.
How could they say Lone Wolf was sure to win without even clashing?
But now it seemed that under the same conditions, they might not even beat Lone Wolf.
“Brothers, they all say Lone Wolf is strong, but I think it’s just so-so?
No matter how great, aren’t they still being played around by us, all disheveled? Today here, I want to prove that Gale’s people aren’t cowards!
Number Two, you command and combat next.”
Without giving Number Two time to react, the Gale Captain threw out his last smoke grenade. Using the smoke for cover, he hunched over and rushed toward the position of Lao Pao and Xiao Zhuang.
“Captain!”
Gale’s people instantly understood what the captain wanted to do upon seeing this; he wanted to sacrifice himself to reduce the pressure Lone Wolf was putting on them.
Even if Gale couldn’t win in the end, they could still cause Lone Wolf considerable trouble.
Seeing the passageway filled with smoke, Chang Ning could only remind his teammates to be careful, because he couldn’t see what would happen ahead either.
Suddenly his pupils contracted slightly; Chang Ning saw a shadow rushing toward Lao Pao’s direction at extreme speed.
“Bang bang bang…”
The shadow quickly disappeared from Chang Ning’s view, and he rapidly pulled the trigger toward the direction where the shadow vanished, hoping to hit that suddenly appearing figure.
He didn’t know the result, because in the smoke, he couldn’t see clearly and could only shoot by feel.
“Boom~”
After a loud noise, Chang Ning’s heart sank, a bad feeling surging up.
“Mountain Wolf, Siberian Wolf, respond if you receive.”
No voices he hoped for came from the headphones.
He already knew the result.
Damn it, Chang Ning really hadn’t expected Gale’s people to be so crazy, using such a mutual destruction method!
Helping up Lao Pao who was lying on him, Xiao Zhuang didn’t know what expression to make to fit the current situation.
At the last moment, Lao Pao had tackled him down, sparing him from harm.
Looking at the second lieutenant in front of him, Xiao Zhuang felt very conflicted.
From the fierce bandit’s standpoint, he should now pump a few more shots into the “corpse” of the second lieutenant to vent his emotions.
The problem was they couldn’t do that, since it was just training.
“Sha Po Lang, I’m fine.
But Mountain Wolf is eliminated.”
Chang Ning’s voice let Xiao Zhuang know it wasn’t time to dwell; his tone was low when he said Mountain Wolf was eliminated.
He would rather be eliminated himself than have Lao Pao eliminated, because Lao Pao was “blown up” to protect him.
This made Xiao Zhuang feel extremely guilty.
At the same moment, Geng Jihui arrived with the others, seeing the smoke-filled corridor, the dejected Xiao Zhuang, and the second lieutenant standing with Lao Pao.
He guessed what had happened, but now wasn’t the time to consider these issues.
“Those not eliminated, follow up. We continue advancing.”
Even Geng Jihui himself hadn’t noticed the obvious anger in his words.
Lao Pao’s elimination made him angry.
“Chang Ning, what position are you in? We’re here, be careful not to friendly fire.”
“I’m at the corner five meters from Lao Pao.”
Chang Ning said.
Gale’s earlier tactic reminded Chang Ning that he could also use thrown weapons.
To ensure the hostage’s safety, Chang Ning couldn’t use a hand grenade like that Gale teammate had, but he could use others.
The Engine Room was on the third floor of this ship-shaped building. To make it realistic, Gao Zhong Dui hadn’t installed too many lighting facilities here.
So a flashbang grenade was a good choice.
Saying and doing, Chang Ning pulled a flashbang grenade from his chest, removed the pin, and threw it out…
The remaining Gale teammates set up a simple defensive position around the hostage; they now just wanted to take out as many Lone Wolf people as possible.
Gale Number Two, in the forward position, saw a black object flying out; he loudly warned the teammates behind and went prone.
“Buzz~”
After a strong flash of light, there followed a piercing buzzing sound.
It’s over, it’s a flashbang grenade!
Gale Number Two knew they had completely lost. The flashbang grenade’s effect lasted three seconds, but the discomfort from the ringing in the ears lasted more than three seconds.
“Huh? A woman’s voice, the hostage is actually a woman.”
The woman’s voice didn’t stop Chang Ning; the flashbang grenade only lasted three seconds, and he couldn’t waste any time.
Approaching the position Gale had set up, Chang Ning quickly eliminated the Gale teammates who were affected by the flashbang grenade and had greatly reduced combat power.
After confirming everyone was eliminated, he then walked to the hostage lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
A delicate and familiar face appeared in Chang Ning’s eyes; it was someone unexpected.
“How is it you!”
The hostage for Chang Ning and them was Tong Youyou.
Geng Jihui and the others who rushed over saw the hostage, and their originally expressionless faces immediately became colorful.
“Ouch! Gao Zhong Dui sure knows how to play.” Ostrich said gloatingly.
“Now there’s a good show to watch.”
The medic nearby was also one who loved to watch the fun without minding the trouble.
“I just think Chang Ning is going to have a headache again.”
Qiang Zi said pretending to be serious, but his twitching eye corner betrayed his inner joy.
“Alright, hurry and help.”
It was still Geng Jihui who was righteous, calling everyone to help ease the effects of the flashbang grenade on Tong Youyou.
