Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 206 The Pursuers Behind

The actions of Group B did not cause any ripples in the ears of the commanders at all levels of both the Red and Blue sides. Apart from Lei Keming actively making relevant deployments, Captain He seemed to be completely indifferent to it.

With Lei Keming's order, a special operations team thousands of miles away was activated.

This squad was specially prepared by Lei Keming for the Lone Wolf Special Assault Team.

"Who set that fire in the Blue Team's camp just now?"

After waiting for Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao at the agreed location, Chang Ning asked them questions before they could even catch their breath.

"I suggested it, so what?"

The old man looked puzzled. Chang Ning's tone seemed off, as if he had made the wrong suggestion.

Chang Ning, shrouded in darkness, made it impossible to discern his facial expression.

A mountain breeze blew by, and the shadows of the trees swayed.

The bright moonlight shone through the gaps between the treetops onto Chang Ning's face, making his expression even more hazy.

Chang Ning remained silent, and the atmosphere began to spiral into a heavy and oppressive mood.

What does it mean by not saying anything? Did I really do something wrong?
This situation made the veteran lose confidence, and for some reason, he felt his throat become dry and tight.

Standing between the two, Xiao Zhuang looked at Lao Pao for a while, then at Chang Ning, seemingly at a loss.

On one side were his good comrades and brothers from the same period, and on the other side was his old squad leader.

Both sides are equally dear to him, which is making Xiao Zhuang extremely annoyed.

Just as he was about to speak and try to persuade both sides, Chang Ning chuckled, which made the originally bad atmosphere melt away like ice and snow, and visibly change in a positive direction.

"Mountain Wolf, I want to say well done!"

Chang Ning emerged from the darkness with a beaming smile, the moonlight gradually filling his face.

"Who taught you to breathe so heavily when you talk? It scared me to death."

Chang Ning's words made the old man's tense body relax.

Seeing him pat his chest lightly, Chang Ning realized that he might have really gone too far.

Look how scared the class monitor is.

"Does this even need to be taught? With my ability to learn anything quickly, I can grasp it in an instant."

"You're not comfortable unless you brag, are you? If I didn't know your surname was Chang, I would have thought you shared the same surname as that melon seller, Wang Po."

Seeing Xiao Zhuang's indirect sarcasm, Chang Ning raised her foot as if to kick him.

Xiao Zhuang naturally couldn't let Chang Ning succeed, so he circled around Lao Pao in a small area to avoid Chang Ning's attacks.

The two soldiers he had brought with him were playing around and laughing, and the old man didn't stop them.

Both of them are veterans now and know how to maintain a proper balance. Even if there are pursuers coming from behind, they can't say they'll wipe out all the pursuers, but they still have the ability to escape.

Xiao Zhuang, who plopped down on the grass, waved to Chang Ning, "Okay, I'm done playing."

After spending a day in the woods, and then beheading a Blue Army colonel that night, Xiao Zhuang felt a bit tired after all that.

Not everyone is like Chang Ning, that freak who can still run and jump like nothing happened.

"It's not safe here. If we want to rest, we need to go further away," Lao Pao reminded Xiao Zhuang, who was sitting on the ground.

In order to meet up quickly, they chose a meeting place that was not far from the Blue Army's camp, less than ten kilometers away as the crow flies.

This distance isn't very far for the army; if the enemy is determined to pursue them, they can arrive in two or three hours at most.

Besides, this is the Blue Team's territory, so they can use vehicles without any restrictions.

This way, it would take even less time to get to their meeting point.

Spending the night here would be tantamount to suicide.

When Xiao Zhuang wasn't emotionally charged, he was still willing to listen to advice. Knowing the importance and urgency of the matter, he naturally agreed to Lao Pao's suggestion. After Chang Ning helped him up, Xiao Zhuang followed the two of them into the depths of the dense forest under the cover of night and moonlight.

A group of soldiers, also dressed in jungle camouflage, arrived at the place where Changning and his two companions had met. When the leader raised his fist, the others scattered around him in a flower-like pattern and took up advantageous positions for attack.

"Any discoveries?" a soldier who appeared to be the squad leader asked as he approached the leader.

"Tanuki cat, we've found their trail."

As they spoke, the soldier in front pointed to the weeds on the ground that had been trampled by Xiao Zhuang and Chang Ning.

"But something's not right."

The soldier in the lead looked at the marks left on the ground with great confusion.

"What's wrong?" the tabby cat asked.

He could see the traces left by Chang Ning and the other two, but he couldn't accurately determine their numbers.

"The number of people doesn't match; a special team needs at least six people."

The tracks on the ground tell me that about three to five people left from here, definitely not six.

Although their trail was discovered because of their roughhousing, the same roughhousing caused the pursuers to misjudge their numbers.

Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined and unpredictable.

"Don't forget that our pursuit team are also experts in special operations; it's not impossible for them to leave few traces," said the tabby cat.

"If they're experts, why would they leave obvious traces? That doesn't make sense."

They're the Lone Wolf Commando Team, praised even by their battalion commander.

The leader clearly disagreed with the speculation that it was a tabby cat.

"Then there's only one possibility: they broke up."

This time, the leader didn't argue with the tabby cat; he also felt that the other had separated. "Shall we continue chasing?"

All of the above are just their guesses; it's possible that someone deliberately left traces to lure them into a trap.

"Chase them! The captain's mission must be completed."

We just need to be careful.

First, send the findings and your speculations to the battalion commander.

After speaking, the tabby cat summoned the communications soldier to its side and gave him a thorough lecture.

After the telegram was sent to the battalion commander, the tabby cat gestured for the lead soldier to continue following the trail.

Chang Ning and his two companions were completely unaware that a special forces team was pursuing them.

At this moment, they were trudging through the overgrown mountains, their steps uneven and their footsteps uneven.

As is customary, Changning led the way for Xiaozhuang and Laopao, carrying a wooden stick about the thickness of a baby's arm, which he would tap on the bushes every few steps.

This tactic is called "beating the grass to scare the snake," to prevent poisonous snakes from suddenly jumping out and biting them.

"Just hang in there a little longer, we'll rest once we get past this meadow."

Slightly out of breath, Chang Ning cheered on the two people behind her.

His physical strength was already far superior to that of his comrades, and now he himself felt tired. Although Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao behind him were trying their best not to say anything, he knew in his heart that their physical strength was nearing its limit and they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

"Watch where you're going and don't talk," the old man said haltingly, struggling to speak.

The class monitor really cares about me!

Chang Ning thought that Lao Pao reminded him to watch where he was going because he was worried that he would fall, and he was very touched by this.

But what the old man said next broke Chang Ning's defenses.
