Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 207 Xiao Zhuang is exhausted

“If you speak, I have to reply to you.”

I was already exhausted, and now I'm even more tired.

The old man's words almost made Chang Ning stumble.

Fortunately, he regained his composure and calmed down.

Otherwise, you'd definitely fall down.

Who would have thought that this old-timer with thick eyebrows and big eyes could also be such a skilled stabber?

He had intended to distract the two people behind him with his words, hoping to reduce his own fatigue, but instead, it caused them to exhaust themselves even faster.

I meant well but did something wrong; I didn't think things through.

Since the veteran had already spoken, Chang Ning simply shut up and focused on getting on his way.

The three of them gritted their teeth and held their breath, using the last bit of strength they had to persevere and cross the small meadow.

They didn't want to rest in the meadow, surrounded by snakes and insects.

"Ah, finally I can rest!"

As soon as he stepped out of the meadow, Xiao Zhuang lay limply on the uneven mountainside, as if his bones had been removed.

He was panting heavily, and his forehead was covered in white sweat.

The veteran wasn't much different; his excellent military skills allowed him to maintain a basic level of vigilance.

However, judging from his exhausted appearance, he's basically just a figurehead now; he'd be lucky to withstand one round of attacks from the Blue Army.

Of the three, only Chang Ning, with his systematic and monstrous abilities, can be considered combat-ready, capable of both fighting and escaping against the Blue Army.

Although he had also expended a lot of energy, he was still much stronger than Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao.

At least his voice is still loud and clear, and his grip on the rifle is still strong.

“Squad leader, lend a hand. Let’s help Xiao Zhuang up first. This is not a place to rest.”

The old man did not refuse Chang Ning's suggestion. Xiao Zhuang, who was being helped, was already drowsy and his brain was forced to stop thinking, so he could not figure out why Chang Ning did this.

Resting near the meadow is very dangerous.

If there were Blue Army pursuers behind them, the meadows would provide cover, allowing the pursuers to approach them silently and launch an attack.

The Blue Army's surprise attack, coupled with the three men's exhaustion, meant that any attempt to resist would be futile, and they were destined to be captured by the Blue Army.

The veteran's decision not to refuse clearly indicated that he had considered this possibility.

"Let's go."

Chang Ning let Xiao Zhuang lean against him, then wrapped his arms around him to prevent him from slipping, while Lao Pao supported his side from the other side.

And so, the two of them, one on each side, flanked Xiao Zhuang and stumbled forward, with Chang Ning bearing most of Xiao Zhuang's weight on her own.

The veterans only needed to assist from the sidelines. He meticulously removed the obvious traces they left behind, and those less conspicuous veterans didn't have the energy or time to cover them up.

It was pitch black at night, and I figured no one would notice.

The three of them walked another kilometer of mountain path with difficulty before deciding to rest on the spot.

The place they chose to rest was not very flat; it was full of potholes.

Some of the large pits were so deep that if Changning lay down inside, he wouldn't even notice that someone was lying there unless he looked carefully.

In terms of seclusion, this is an excellent campsite.

"Alright, we've arrived. We can rest now."

I'll stand guard for the first shift, the squad leader for the second, and Xiao Zhuang for the last.

Is that okay?

The old gunman shook his head to indicate that there was no problem, then chose a large pit, hugged his gun, and fell into a deep sleep.

When Chang Ning put Xiao Zhuang down, he barely listened to Chang Ning's instructions, nodded with difficulty, and then fell asleep instantly as soon as he relaxed. If it weren't for his relatively good eyesight, Chang Ning wouldn't have been able to see Xiao Zhuang nodding at all; the gesture was negligible.

"The number of people doesn't match?"

Lei Keming was quite surprised when he saw the message sent by the pursuit team.

A six-person assault team dared to split up and operate separately. Aren't they afraid of being picked off one by one?
These little guys are really fearless!
The Lone Wolf Special Assault Team is, after all, Wolf Fang's top secret. Even if he was once a member of Wolf Fang, Captain He would never tell him about the Lone Wolf.

Because Lone Wolf Group A consisted mostly of veterans from Wolf Fang, Lei Keming was quite familiar with them, and the two groups often communicated, which allowed him to obtain some intelligence.

Lei Keming didn't have much information about Lone Wolf Group B, a newly formed assault team that had been established for less than a year.

Therefore, he did not know that there were seven people in Group B. He only guessed that Chang Ning might be in it, but he did not have detailed information.

The pursuit team was also trained by Lei Keming, and he was familiar with the military skills that the members possessed.

One of the members was exceptionally skilled in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.

Since their analysis showed that the numbers didn't match, Lei Keming believed that the special forces team they had discovered had indeed chosen to split up.

"Send a message to the pursuit team to warn them to be on high alert."

"They might be breaking out separately, but they'll regroup later," Lei Keming said.

"Yes."

The communications officer immediately relayed the battalion commander's orders to the squad at the front.

In the jungle, the pursuit team, which was following the tracks left by Chang Ning and his two companions, stopped.

"Team leader, we have a reply from the battalion commander." The soldier in charge of the radio in the pursuit team reported to Li Hua Mao via radio.

"Read it," the tabby cat replied.

The soldier who was also a part-time communications officer then shared Lei Keming's analysis with everyone.

"Return the call to the battalion commander to assure him that we understand the situation, that the mission will be completed, and that he can rest assured."

The messenger quickly jotted down the team leader's words and then turned to send a telegram to the battalion commander.

"Everyone, you've all heard the captain's analysis, right?"

They're very bold, but we're not a paper tiger either.

Be vigilant, and be careful not to cause a disaster.

Previously, the communications officer had reported to him that the battalion commander's telegram was sent using the squad's public channel.

Everyone had heard the message in the telegram, so there was no need for the tabby cat to repeat it further.

After giving him some instructions, he ordered the team to continue.

This squad was specifically assigned by Lei Keming to pursue Langya, so they didn't move out before Group B appeared. They were full of energy and could keep chasing them non-stop.

Time passed slowly, and the distance between Changning and his two companions and the team continued to shrink until only a meadow separated them.

"They've entered the meadow, what do we do?" asked the lead soldier of the pursuit team.

The grass in the meadow was half a person tall, so it would be really hard to find someone hiding there.

If the Wolf Fang soldiers on the other side were a little ruthless, they could lay a few landmines in the meadow, which would be enough to give them a hard time.

"In this weather, they can't possibly choose to rest in the meadow."

The snakes and insects inside will give them a real hard time.

The tabby cats didn't expect their target to apply insect repellent, which usually has a smell.

How amateurish would someone have to be to use something so easily exposed behind enemy lines?

"We're crossing this meadow, so please try to spread out as much as possible."

Report anything that happens, and look out for each other.
