Chapter 262: Dropping The Mask, Black Tiger Gives Pursuit
Letting the Red Team eliminate Lei Keming didn’t produce any negative emotions. No one stipulated that he couldn’t die himself.
But the Black Tiger soldiers didn’t think that way. Seeing their own Captain eliminated in front of everyone, their eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
“Damn!
What are you standing around for! Find that sniper.” Someone shouted angrily.
This angry shout pulled everyone present back to reality. The people participating in the capture and those who could be led by Lei Keming were far beyond just being well-trained.
Along with the shouting, the sniper’s eyes used reconnaissance tools to continuously rule out suspicious sniper positions, striving to find that hateful Red Team scout.
In plain sight, their Black Tiger Special Forces Captain was sniped by someone. With so many people working together, if they still couldn’t catch him, they had no face to return to the Northwest Military Region.
Dozens of soldiers leaped out like fish, all rushing toward the sound of the gunshot.
“Young people, one promising young talent after another, the hope of the special forces!”
Lei Keming’s words seemed pointed, but Gao Zhong Dui no matter what felt that this guy in front of him was definitely eyeing Wolf Fang’s good prospects.
No way, after the exercise is over, call He Da Dui. They need to guard against Lei Keming poaching talent.
Those who poach talent will constantly have talent poached from them.
Wolf Fang usually poaches a lot of talent and is extremely sensitive to this. At the slightest sign of trouble, they quickly react.
No choice, talent is hard to come by.
Especially good prospects like Chang Ning who are developing into all-round warriors, which unit wouldn’t hide them away, afraid of others targeting them.
Chang Ning eliminating Lei Keming had thoroughly enraged everyone in the Black Tiger Special Forces. Every Black Tiger special forces soldier was itching to capture him.
Watching the howling soldiers, Lei Keming neither stopped them nor encouraged them. According to the exercise rules, he was now dead, and how could a dead man speak.
“Let’s go. It’s rare for you to come here. Don’t you have to treat me to Black Tiger’s meals?”
Gao Zhong Dui put his arm around Lei Keming’s shoulder and walked toward the Black Tiger camp.
“Why do I feel something off about what you said? I’m already in the Southeast Military Region. Shouldn’t you be treating?”
Lei Keming chuckled and bantered playfully with Gao Zhong Dui.
They were both eliminated, so the exercise had nothing to do with them anymore.
Before the exercise ended, their respective units couldn’t accept their command for now, so they might as well take this opportunity to relax.
“Guest? You really think of yourself as a guest?
Don’t forget, you’re from Wolf Fang. What is Wolf Fang to you? That’s your home of mother’s family!
You come back to your home of mother’s family empty-handed and I didn’t even blame you. What’s a few meals?”
At this moment, Gao Zhong Dui shed his usual cold and taciturn persona, appearing much sunnier.
He seized the loophole in Lei Keming’s words and unleashed a barrage.
This left Lei Keming, known for his calmness and decisiveness, momentarily at a loss.
He could only repeatedly beg for mercy and make many promises before satisfying Gao Zhong Dui.
Don’t think that Lei Keming let Wolf Fang’s people get eliminated first, and then Gao Zhong Dui caught the chance to take advantage and seemed to lose out.
Actually, this was all voluntary on his part. A few bottles of good liquor and cigarettes meant nothing to someone in his position.
Every year the unit issues them special supplies, and he doesn’t indulge in them anyway, so this way the good stuff gets shared around.
Good stuff is meant to be shared with good brothers to be fun.
What to do with it otherwise? Just look at it? What’s the point in that?
Only in front of old comrades could he completely drop his guard and return to being a real ordinary person.
Gray Wolf Mada, holding his gun, occasionally chimed in, spilling some dirt on Gao Zhong Dui that made everyone burst out laughing.
The three walked in the opposite direction of the Black Tiger Detachment members. On the way, they encountered some members who saw their own Captain and wanted to come up and ask, but were stopped by a look from Lei Keming.
“Don’t ask me, I was eliminated.”
The soldier awkwardly left, and the three continued toward the camp, discussing what good food to get on the way.
In the forest, they vaguely heard Gao Zhong Dui telling Lei Keming to call folks from home to bring some ingredients. It looked like he was going to cook himself…
Chang Ning had felt as exhilarated eliminating Lei Keming with that shot as he now felt wretched being chased.
Despite being extremely careful during his retreat, he was still slowly found by the pursuing Black Tiger soldiers, who locked onto his traces and stuck doggedly.
The Northwest Military Region also produced talents. Just as Wolf Fang had the tracking expert Earth Wolf, Black Tiger had such talents too.
Plus Chang Ning’s hasty retreat meant that even with conscious efforts to cover his traces, there were bound to be oversights.
“Kid in front, stop right there!”
The pursuers shouted while running, their voices booming.
The trees in the forest were all naturally grown without human intervention, so there were obstructions everywhere, and the terrain was extremely complex.
A slight misstep could mean a fall at best, or getting an eye gouged by a branch at worst, which was common.
In such conditions, the Black Tiger capture team rarely chose to shoot. Both sides opted to compete in stamina and endurance.
“Brothers from Black Tiger, it’s not that I won’t stop.
Look at you all, dying to swallow me alive right now!
Tell me, do I dare stop?”
Chang Ning’s stamina, boosted by his external aid, far exceeded that of ordinary people, but he had barely rested at all while searching for the Black Tiger camp.
The pursuers were different; they had stayed in the camp, maintaining their physical condition in a good range.
This way, Chang Ning’s stamina advantage was gone, and with outnumbered foes, he didn’t dare pause even slightly to shoot back.
The distance between both sides was slowly closing.
A series of gunshots rang out after Chang Ning responded, with wood chips from bullets splattering onto his face. Chang Ning felt something hot and stinging flow from his face to his chin.
No need to say, it was definitely broken skin.
The group behind him didn’t play fair; they were using tactics!
Seeing the distance closing and knowing Chang Ning couldn’t escape, plus watching him flee in wretchedness under their pursuit, several Black Tiger men started deliberately taunting him loudly.
This time Chang Ning didn’t fall for it. He wouldn’t fall into the same trap twice!
Besides, they weren’t even pretending anymore; that thick malice was detectable even from hundreds of meters away.
Silently assessing his stamina, Chang Ning’s heart sank.
He knew he couldn’t outrun them. His remaining stamina wasn’t enough to escape in such a complex environment.
Even a clay figure has a bit of fire, let alone him, Chang Ning.
The harsh environment didn’t defeat or make him retreat; instead, it stirred up the “malice” in Chang Ning’s heart.
“Black Tiger bastards, let’s settle this in this forest!”
With Chang Ning’s roar, a defensive hand grenade arced through the sky and landed on the path of the pursuing Black Tiger soldiers.
Honestly, such an environment wasn’t suitable for long-distance grenade throws; it was too complex.
The moment the hand grenade left his hand, Chang Ning realized it, his heart jumping to his throat.
If the hand grenade hit a tree and bounced back, it’d be a joke, but the result seemed pretty lucky.
