Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 209 Changning Lays Another Mine

The winner remained rooted to the spot, too afraid to move.

"Captain, I've stepped on a landmine."

"That's what the unlucky guy in the pursuit team who stepped on the landmine said."

"Alert! Demolitionist, clear the mines."

Upon hearing the order, everyone crouched down, guns at the ready, to prevent the Wolf Fang men from launching a surprise attack.

"Relax."

The demolition expert carefully removed the camouflage covering the landmine by drawing his dagger.

A cylindrical landmine revealed its true form.

The demolition expert breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the appearance of the landmine. Fortunately, it wasn't a Claymore directional mine, but just a regular Type 72 anti-personnel mine.

"Do I look nervous? It's just Coach Ray, not a real coach."

"What am I afraid of!" the unlucky guy retorted stubbornly.

Landmines treat everyone equally; they don't distinguish what steps on them.

The pressure inside the body changes instantly and it explodes.

No matter who you are, very few people can remain calm when they encounter a landmine.

Even seasoned sappers who have seen countless landmines will feel a shiver run down their spine the moment they step on one.

The demolition expert saw through his comrade's stubbornness but kept quiet, carefully cleaning up the camouflage to save face for his comrade.

After successfully defusing the landmine, the demolition expert laughed and said, "Alright, you can leave now."

Upon hearing this, the unlucky fellow carefully lifted his foot from the landmine, and only relaxed when he saw that it hadn't exploded.

"Why aren't you getting up? What are you looking for on the ground?"

The unlucky guy saw the demolition expert repeatedly stabbing the landmines into the ground with a dagger, and asked a question.

"Mine clearance".

The demolition expert paused for a moment, then added, "To prevent booby traps, I suspect that what you just stepped on was just a decoy."

He was an expert in Bray's tricks, and chain mines were common for him.

When he was a new sapper, he was often taught a lesson by his senior sergeant. He would try to test whether a landmine was a booby trap whenever he encountered one, and it became a conditioned reflex.

The tactile sensation of the dagger tip touching a hard object was exceptionally clear, and the demolition expert of the pursuit team smiled.

As he expected, there was indeed something below.

Those who work in special operations are all old fogies!

"There really is something there."

The unlucky guy, who initially didn't believe it, knew from the demolition expert's expression that this guy had discovered something.

The demolition expert was completely unaffected by the unlucky guy's cries and steadily dismantled all the landmines that Chang Ning had used to warn them.

"The danger is over."

After informing his squad, the demolition expert got up and gently placed the two landmines he had defused into his backpack.

We might need it later, so we can't waste it.

Seeing that the landmines had been successfully defused, the tabby cat ordered the team to continue pursuing Chang Ning and his two companions.

This time they encountered no further problems, and the pursuit went very smoothly.

The silent jungle was sparsely populated, filled with the chirping of unknown insects.

Here, they are the true masters; Chang Ning and the others, along with the pursuit team, are uninvited guests.

What was that fleeting black shadow just now?

While lost in thought, Xiao Zhuang noticed something flash past his line of sight.

Thinking he had something in his eye, he blinked and carefully looked in the direction where the shadow had first appeared.

There were no dark shadows at all; they were clearly a series of human figures.

"They're the Blue Team's pursuers!"

Xiao Zhuang immediately ruled out the possibility that it was someone from Group B or Group A.

Group B members each chose a different location for their task, so the probability of them meeting is zero.

The number of people in Group A doesn't match the number of people in the team in front of him. Although he can't see exactly how many people there are, Xiao Zhuang is certain that there are more than six people.

They are now in the heart of the Blue Team's territory, and excluding the possibility of encountering their own people, the only remaining opponents are the Blue Team.

This answer is over 95% accurate! "No, we have to tell Chang Ning and Lao Pao."

If he were to encounter the Blue Team alone, he would not say a word and would run away before they spotted him.

But now he's a sentry; if he runs away alone, wouldn't that be betraying his two comrades who are still resting?

Carefully control your body and slowly move out of the sentry post, trying to keep your movements small to avoid being spotted by the Blue Army.

"Changning, Laopao, wake up!"

The Blue Team is closing in!

"What? The Blue Team is there!"

Chang Ning cocked the bullet with a "whoosh".

"Where did you see the Blue Team?" the old gunman asked.

"It was found right in front of the sentry post."

It was so dark that I could only make out about six people by the moonlight.

Xiao Zhuang's words made Chang Ning's heart sink.

The situation was bad; the Blues were coming from the direction directly opposite the sentry post, which was also the direction of the meadow.

If it's just a coincidence, the Blues don't need to cross the meadow; they can take a detour.

Moreover, the landmines intended as a warning were ineffective, meaning they were definitely dismantled by the arriving Blue Team.

The mines he laid were very well hidden, and the fact that they could be discovered in such darkness indicates that there are skilled people on the other side, most likely Lei Keming's men.

So this group of Blue Army soldiers is most likely after them, and they are all special forces teams like them.

"This is trouble."

Chang Ning smiled wryly, "The situation is quite unfavorable for them."

Both sides are of the same identity and are familiar with each other's fighting styles, making it extremely difficult to break free once entangled.

"A direct confrontation won't work. We might be able to take a few down with us, but we'll eventually be wiped out," the old man said.

He was afraid that Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang, those two young men, would cause trouble.

"So we need to retreat, but we must do so quietly so that we are not discovered."

If they are discovered, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of the other side.

He might be able to escape using his speed, but Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao are in serious trouble.

Chang Ning thought to herself.

He felt a faint sense of melancholy at that moment.

If everyone from Group B were still there, he wouldn't be so frustrated; wiping out the opposing team wouldn't be impossible.

"Then let's hurry up and go. I just looked and they're quite close to us," Xiao Zhuang urged.

"You guys go first, I'll be right there."

As he spoke, Chang Ning took out a landmine from his backpack; this time it was an anti-personnel bounding mine.

After seeing what Chang Ning was holding, Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao laughed.

"Be careful, don't get caught," the old man warned.

If the pursuing Blue Army discovers them, he and Xiao Zhuang alone won't be able to rescue Chang Ning.

"Don't worry, you know me well enough."

Chang Ning waved his hand, telling the two to leave quickly.

The three of them were delayed for a while, and now they could hear the sound of the Blue Army's clothes brushing against the weeds.

After watching Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao leave, Chang Ning jumped out of the shallow pit where he had been resting, took out a fishing line, tied it to the tip of a landmine, and then buried the landmine along the edge of the pit.

The other end of the fishing line was attached to a tree branch that covered the shallow pit.

Finally, they erased all traces of their departure, making it appear as if the people were still in the shallow pit.

"It's done!"

If they get caught, consider the Blues to be lucky.

After doing all this, Chang Ning also left their temporary camp.

The Blue Team, which was chasing the three men, was completely unaware of this.
