Chapter 252: Rejecting Chang Ning
Seeing the time pass minute by minute, Gao Zhong Dui and Ma Da were still lying on the ground without any movement, Chang Ning grew extremely anxious in his heart.
He had no way to deal with this unless he revealed himself proactively.
The problem was how to explain it to the two after he revealed himself?
Got lost? Coincidence?
Don’t kid me!
Based on his understanding of Dog Head Old Gao, if he dared to use the above excuses to perfunctorily brush him off, there would absolutely be no good outcome after the exercise ended; going back to the furnace would be the light punishment.
But telling the truth would still have far from wonderful consequences, after all, Chang Ning had followed them with the idea of using the two as bait.
“Absolutely cannot go out to meet.”
After weighing the pros and cons, Chang Ning made up his mind not to show himself and to compete in patience with Gao Zhong Dui.
The wonder of life lies in surprises and tomorrow—you never know which comes first.
Chang Ning had decided not to show himself, yet Gao Zhong Dui’s side began to take action.
First using the Red Team’s communication secret language, then the Wolf Fang’s; the content of the secret language was the same, inquiring about Chang Ning’s purpose and requesting cooperation.
Seeing the content of the secret language clearly, Chang Ning’s expression gradually became strange.
“It seems Gao Zhong Dui and Ma Da haven’t suspected me.”
After careful consideration, Chang Ning responded using the Red Team’s secret language, indicating willingness to cooperate.
The content of the cooperation was all communicated through secret language.
“Strange, since it’s one of our own, why not meet with us?” Ma Da was very puzzled by that mysterious Red Team member’s behavior.
“Perhaps not a Red Team member.”
Gao Zhong Dui chewed on a grass root in his mouth, the faint sweet taste slowly invading his taste buds.
“What!” Ma Da was shocked.
To think there was actually a Blue Team member behind him—this was outrageous!
Without even thinking, Ma Da almost instantly changed his stealth direction.
Although he didn’t know the exact position of that cunning “Blue Team” member, with his years of experience rolling around on the battlefield, he could easily lock onto several highly possible positions.
Gao Zhong Dui didn’t expect his words to provoke such an intense reaction from his old partner, and didn’t know what to say about it.
“Don’t be overly nervous, I haven’t finished speaking.”
“How can I not be nervous! The Blue Team has already snuck up behind our buttocks!” Ma Da’s eyes scanned back and forth over everything he deemed suspicious.
Ma Da’s nervous appearance forced Gao Zhong Dui to quickly state his guess.
“You mean the person following behind us is Chang Ning?”
After hearing Gao Zhong Dui’s analysis, Ma Da asked in return.
“Now besides Chang Ning, who else in the forest has such stealth ability?”
When saying this, Gao Zhong Dui excluded the Blue Team’s Black Tiger Special Forces; if they had been approached by the Blue Team, both sides would definitely have exchanged fire early on—how could it be like this now?
Black Tiger’s people wouldn’t just watch idly as he and Ma Da approached their camp; based on the above conditions, Gao Zhong Dui quickly guessed the identity of the person following behind them.
“What do you want to do?”
Knowing the mysterious person was Chang Ning, Ma Da breathed a sigh of relief—as long as it wasn’t Red Team.
Gao Zhong Dui didn’t respond to Ma Da but sent a series of secret languages toward the rear.
Chang Ning not far away saw the secret language Gao Zhong Dui sent him and was completely stunned; he hadn’t expected Gao Zhong Dui to recognize him.
All along the way, he had been extremely cautious, not daring to relax even slightly—how had Gao Zhong Dui discovered him?
Chang Ning found this extremely baffling; logically speaking, it shouldn’t be.
Since he had already been discovered, hiding furtively any longer would be meaningless.
After receiving the secret language, Chang Ning boldly revealed himself from his stealth position.
However, he didn’t stupidly stand up directly, after all, they were already very close to Black Tiger Special Forces’ camp.
Black Tiger’s people patrolled the vicinity from time to time; standing up without any cover in this situation—what difference was there from deliberately sending a head?
Never mind how Gao Zhong Dui and Ma Da would deal with him afterward, even Chang Ning himself wouldn’t forgive such a mistake.
Utterly stupid!
Crouching low, wearing the simple ghillie suit he had made from locally sourced materials, Chang Ning quickly approached Gao Zhong Dui and Ma Da.
Don’t think his sneaking speed was slow—the weeds and vines his pant legs brushed had very small sway amplitude, and of course the sounds produced could be ignored.
“Chang Ning this kid has grown so fast; back when he first fought you, he didn’t have this skill.” Ma Da sighed as he watched Chang Ning’s agile and swift figure.
On Chang Ning, he saw the vitality of youth, and at the same time felt himself getting a bit old.
But clearly he was only in his mid-to-late thirties, not old at all.
“I guessed it was you kid; why are you following us?
Lone Wolf cannot be completely annihilated—do you understand!”
Gao Zhong Dui said viciously in a low voice.
Lone Wolf was the most elite assault team of Wolf Fang Special Forces Detachment, the tip of the knife.
In a certain sense, it could represent Wolf Fang’s face, represent He Da Dui’s face.
If Lone Wolf Special Assault Team was annihilated by Black Tiger, He Da Dui wouldn’t be able to show his face.
Lei Keming used to be He Da Dui’s soldier.
If He Da Dui found out his old subordinate had wiped out his most elite assault team, who knows what he would think.
No matter what, based on Gao Zhong Dui’s understanding, He Da Dui’s heart would definitely be filled with mixed feelings.
And he would absolutely get disciplined afterward.
No one wanted to see He Da Dui’s black face or face He Da Dui’s rage.
Chang Ning had anticipated that defying orders would make Gao Zhong Dui angry, but he hadn’t expected Gao Zhong Dui to be so furious.
It seemed the matter was far from as simple as he thought.
“Before Wild Wolf and I launch an attack on Black Tiger’s camp, you hurry up and retreat, safely return to the Red Team’s position, and leave a sole survivor for Lone Wolf.”
Ma Da earnestly advised Chang Ning, conveniently disrupting Gao Zhong Dui’s rhythm.
With the rhythm disrupted, although Gao Zhong Dui was angry inside, reason took over so he no longer reprimanded Chang Ning, though he didn’t give Chang Ning a good look either.
Through the thick camouflage paint, Chang Ning could still see Gao Zhong Dui’s angry black face.
“I came here for a reason.”
Chang Ning explained his plan to use the two as bait to lure out Lei Keming to Gao Zhong Dui and Wild Wolf.
Originally he thought after hearing his plan, the two would agree with his viewpoint; the result was the exact opposite.
“This is just rushing to your death!
No, I disagree!”
Gao Zhong Dui’s angry spittle flew toward Chang Ning’s face.
Actually, Chang Ning hadn’t understood the meaning of Gao Zhong Dui telling him to retreat.
As Wolf Fang’s most valiant soldier, Gao Zhong Dui didn’t lack the courage to charge alone.
If Lone Wolf’s losses weren’t as heavy as now, he would absolutely agree to Chang Ning’s plan.
It was just using him as bait; as long as the desired battle results could be achieved, even walking through a minefield he wouldn’t bat an eye.
But not now; once he and Ma Da went, Lone Wolf would only have Chang Ning as the sole survivor.
If Chang Ning was gone too, wouldn’t even the unit structure be wiped out by Lei Keming.
He couldn’t accept such a result.
