Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 210 The Landmine Exploded
Following the trails intentionally left by Chang Ning, the pursuit team stealthily approached the outskirts of Chang Ning and his two companions' temporary camp.

They lay on the ground, surrounded by weeds about a foot tall.

The Blue Team believed their operation was extremely secretive and that the Wolf Fang special forces should not have noticed it.

Little did they know, they had already been exposed to Xiao Zhuang's sight.

The camp was long deserted, leaving only the generous gift Chang Ning had given them.

“The signs of activity in the surrounding area tell me that the flat hillside ahead is the target’s camp.”

Looking at the quiet mountains not far away, the lead soldier said to the tabby cat with certainty.

He surveyed the surrounding area and found only signs of human activity on the mountainside in front of him.

Moreover, he didn't notice anyone leaving.

This indicates that the targets are still resting in the mountains not far ahead.

The tabby cat lay down next to the soldier in front, holding up its night vision goggles to observe the surrounding environment.

In the lush green expanse, all I could see were grass and trees; I couldn't find anything else.

Seeing this, the tabby cat put down its night vision goggles and nodded.

It's normal that nothing was discovered.

Their target was not ordinary Red Army scouts, but the elite combat squads of the Wolf Fang.

If he was discovered so easily by his night vision goggles, he should suspect that the target had set a trap for him.

"As expected of the Wolf Fang, which even our captain fears, their basic skills are quite solid."

The camouflage blends perfectly with the surrounding environment. "The tabby cat exclaimed in admiration.

The renowned troops were indeed quite capable. The tabby cat was unaware of their other skills, but their ability to blend seamlessly into nature alone made him put aside his contempt.

"But their counter-surveillance capabilities are really terrible. I think the Wolf Fang people are just so-so."

If they were really as powerful as the captain said, we wouldn't have found their trail so easily.

The vanguard looked down on Chang Ning and his two companions, believing they were just for show and should be sent back for retraining.

The lead soldier of the pursuit team certainly had the right to say those words; his reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance abilities were exceptional.

Chang Ning and Lao Pao had specifically tried to erase some of their traces, but this guy still managed to find them by following those barely perceptible clues.

It's understandable that the vanguard looked down on Chang Ning and his two companions' counter-surveillance capabilities.

Who can blame them for being so awesome?

No matter where you are, if you want others to respect you, you need to have one or two skills that can impress them.

"Alright, I see you're back to your old habits again!"

Can you please put away that awful habit of yours?

"I think you're going to suffer for this sooner or later," the tabby cat advised.

The elite soldier in the squad is great in every way, except he's too arrogant.

Relying on his exceptional investigative abilities, he always looked down on everyone.

As the old saying goes, pride comes before a fall!

The tabby cat knew that if the leader didn't change his bad habits, he would get punished sooner or later.

"What? Don't be so unconvinced!"
The target might just not have noticed their presence; it's not like they're weak in combat.

Before even engaging in combat, who dares to say they can definitely defeat someone from Wolf Fang?

The rest of the pursuit team, seeing their captain lecturing the vanguard again, pretended not to see it, and one or two of them either pointed at each other or picked at the grass beside them.

This is just a normal occurrence in their squad; it would be strange if the captain didn't call them the vanguard that day.

"I'm not going to waste my breath arguing with you about this useless stuff, the mission is the priority."

After speaking, the tabby cat issued a series of orders via radio to capture the target alive.

Since the target hasn't spotted them, capturing them alive would be ideal.

It also gives the Wolf Fang members a chance to make fun of them.

They used to say things like "Give me the last bullet" all the time, shouting slogans like it was going to shake the heavens. Why can't they do that now?
When the tabby cat arrives at a beautiful place, its heart is filled with joy.

He was even mentally preparing for the upcoming meeting, determined not to tarnish the reputation of their Black Tiger Special Forces!

Under the command of the tabby cat, the pursuit team quietly approached the shallow pit where Chang Ning was resting and blocked all the exits around it. "Those inside, get out quickly."

You have been captured.

Everyone's guns were pointed at the shallow pit in front of them.

The soldier in the lead raised an eyebrow when he saw that the people inside weren't coming out.

"Hey, he's still a die-hard!"

They've already been discovered, what's the point of hiding in the pit and not coming out?

"Guards of Wolf Fang, come out now!"

After he finished speaking, no one responded.

It was quiet all around.

"Look at my bad temper!"

As he spoke, the vanguard was about to lift up the weeds and branches that Changning had used for camouflage.

The tabby cat stood to the side without saying a word, which was tacit approval of the lead cat's behavior.

They politely asked the person to come out, but the person didn't respond, so they can't be blamed for using underhanded tactics.

"Could it be a trap?"

Someone sensed something was wrong and whispered.

But it was too late; Changning's disguise was ripped off by the vanguard.

A black object suddenly jumped out. The soldier in front and the tabby cat were closest to the pit, so they could see the object's appearance most clearly.

The tabby cat's pupils constricted sharply, its face filled with terror.

"Lie down!"

Others instinctively did as instructed upon hearing the voice.

At the same time, the black object emitted a light, accompanied by a soft explosion.

The bounding mines deployed in Changning were specifically for the exercise, with reduced gunpowder usage and all the steel balls removed.

So the landmine was triggered, but no one was injured.

An anti-personnel mine that bounced into the air and exploded nearly wiped out the entire pursuing squad, with only one survivor.

"Captain, I..."

The soldier in the lead stammered "I" for a long time without getting to the next point, only mumbling with his mouth open.

Seeing how upset he was, the tabby cat didn't blame him.

"I'm your captain, you need to change that snobbish habit of looking down on people."

It turned out that at the critical moment, the tabby cat pinned the lead soldier down, which saved him from being eliminated.

But it didn't make much difference; he was the only one left in the pursuit team.

"We used to laugh at their terrible reconnaissance skills, but we ended up getting taught a lesson by them."

"The Wolf Fang people are really troublesome!" the tabby cat exclaimed.

Thinking back to how I was about to mock them, I now just find it laughable.

"I see."

The soldier at the front felt deeply ashamed as he looked at his eliminated comrades.

It was all because of him that the team was eliminated by the target. Why did he have to lift up that disguise? He was so impulsive!
The soldier at the forefront is now filled with regret and guilt, feeling bitter and distressed.

Chang Ning was unaware that the pursuit team had been eliminated; at that moment, he, Xiao Zhuang, and Lao Pao were running frantically with their heads down.

Setting up landmines was just something he did on a whim; he never even considered whether it would be effective.

Now he only hoped that the landmine would buy them more time to retreat.

"I wonder how the others are doing?"

With the Blue Team chasing them, they figured the situation was similar for the others.

Chang Ning was a little worried about Xiao Geng and the others.
