Chapter 68 Clash

In the mountains and forests, the sound of a large sniper rifle echoed. A commando advancing forward had his right leg blown apart on the spot, collapsing sideways with a thud.

"Ah!"

The scream reverberated around. Another commando immediately sidestepped behind a tree trunk, instantly activating the high-intensity flashlight on his wrist, shining it directly at Hou Guoyu.

At the same time, the commando who had been shot in the leg, enduring the intense pain, rolled over on the spot. He hastily pulled a flashbang grenade from his waist and threw it towards Hou Guoyu.

"Bang!"

A burst of intense light flashed through the forest. Hou Guoyu, wielding his sniper rifle, relied solely on his shooting instincts and positional awareness to blindly fire another shot at the wounded commando.

"Pfft!"

The commando, who had just sat up, preparing to escape, was shot in the back. He was wearing a bulletproof vest, but the force of the bullet still pushed him forward.

At the sniper point.

Hearing the sound of the large sniper rifle in the direction of the target, Kang Zhengzhong gritted his teeth and decisively said, "The opportunity is gone! Both groups withdraw from the forest in an orderly manner. Support personnel, do not leave any firepower!"

With that, Kang Zhengzhong got up and left. The two commandos beside him used up all their delaying weapons, such as smoke grenades and tactical hand grenades, in batches.

During the escape, Wei Xiangzuo and Lu Feng led their men to attack the enemy from both sides, wounding one, but because Kang Zhengzhong's team was so well-equipped, they didn't gain a greater advantage.

"Keep chasing, grab one alive!" Lu Feng shouted.

"Don't chase! Hou Guoyu has intercepted A Shui, we're withdrawing!" Su Tianyu shouted into the intercom, "They're not pushovers, no need to increase casualties!"

Continuous calls finally stopped Lu Feng and the others from chasing. After everyone gathered, they immediately rushed to the location of A Shui and the others.

About three minutes later.

The group found the heavily wounded A Shui and Xiao Kai, the head of the human trafficking ring, who had been rescued.

"Where are the others?" Su Tianyu asked Hou Guoyu.

"Before they left, they tried to kill the hostage," Hou Guoyu frowned and said, "They threw a grenade! I shot one down, but I didn't continue chasing because they still have a sniper who hasn't shown himself."

"Not chasing was the right move." Su Tianyu nodded and immediately looked at his watch, saying, "The other side has local garrison help, we can't waste time, let's go, let's go!"

On the ground, A Shui roared in despair, "Guangtou is missing, I can't contact him!"

Su Tianyu pulled him up and replied, "It's not realistic to look for him now, let's get out of here first!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Yu Mingyuan and the others helped A Shui up, grabbed Xiao Kai, and quickly went down the mountain.

After leaving the mountain road, the group quickly drove towards the border. After driving for about ten minutes, they saw three helicopters flying in from beyond the border at low altitude.

"Don't panic, it's Big Brother who sent them to pick us up." Su Tianyu replied and immediately had Lao Hei get out of the car, turn on the flashlight, and wave it to guide the helicopters.

Zhao Weihu's Chi Army was not near the Sirden border, but entrenched in another battlefield. Therefore, his men couldn't provide immediate support. However, Su Tianyu's side was in urgent need, so in desperation, he privately contacted a friend in the government army who was on good terms with him, requesting that they send three helicopters for support.

After everyone sent Xiao Kai, Er Mao, A Shui, and the other seriously wounded onto the helicopters, they drove behind them, quickly withdrawing from Sirden.

As soon as they left, the local garrison arrived, but after reaching the vicinity of the border, they did not choose to advance rashly. The confrontation between the government and rebel forces was very intense, and any spark near the border could ignite a war, so they did not want to provoke it.

…

On the other side.

Kang Zhengzhong and the others were also picked up by the government army dispatched from Alan Town. They were resting on a pipeline less than three kilometers from the location of the gunfight.

Inside an SUV, Kang Zhengzhong looked at the commando who had been shot twice by Hou Guoyu, his expression extremely grim.

The commando's right leg was completely shattered, and the shot in the back had also shattered his internal organs. He lay on the seat, vomiting blood, looking very painful.

Kang Zhengzhong slowly took out a military-grade morphine injection from the medical kit. After a long silence, he rolled up the commando's sleeve and injected the liquid into his vein.

As expected, after a short while, the violently struggling commando gradually calmed down.

Kang Zhengzhong licked his chapped lips, said nothing, and stepped out of the car.

In this accidental conflict, Kang Zhengzhong's team lost two men, with one lightly wounded, but they fought to a draw with Yu Mingyuan, Su Tianyu, and their nearly thirty men.

If it weren't for the small number of men and the suddenness of the situation, A Shui wouldn't have been able to escape tonight.

Kang Zhengzhong stood outside the car, took a sip of white liquor, and called Wang Zhen, "When exchanging hostages with the other side, I must go."

"...You've worked hard." Wang Zhen didn't blame Kang Zhengzhong, but instead, his tone was full of comfort, "The company will take care of everything for the brothers who died."

"That's it!" Kang Zhengzhong hung up the phone.

Five minutes later, a fire was lit, and the dead commando gradually melted in the flames.

…

Alan Town, inside the Red Mansion Courtyard.

Wang Zhen asked Bo Ge, "How many goods were lost?"

"A total of forty-five people, seven were lost, and four were killed on the spot!" Bo Ge replied in a low voice, "Thirty-four remain."

"Damn it!"

Wang Zhen cursed, his face very unsightly.

"What do we do? Should we urgently get a few more?" Bo Ge asked.

"Forget it, you personally send the people to the base." Wang Zhen waved his hand and walked into the room where the "goods" were being temporarily held.

Inside the brightly lit hall, the kidnapped victims all lowered their heads, trembling.

Wang Zhen glanced around and turned to Bo Ge, instructing, "We don't know if Xiao Kai is dead or not, we need to send them away quickly, right now!"

"Understood!" Bo Ge nodded.

With that, Wang Zhen turned and left.

Inside the room, Fei Pingsheng, squatting by the left wall, slowly raised his head and looked at the door, feeling somewhat lost.

What the hell! What do I do?

Fei Pingsheng swallowed and looked helplessly at the door, unable to find any chance to escape.

An hour later, Fei Pingsheng was forced to get into a box truck.

The cargo door slowly closed, plunging the inside of the truck into darkness.

Where are we going?

Guangtou thought anxiously and uneasily!

"Buzz!"

The truck engine roared to life, and the vehicle lurched violently as it set off.
