My military function points

Chapter 362 Did you eat someone's eyeballs?
"Brother Bi, come with me!"

By this point in the battle, the enemy had probably realized their defeat was inevitable and had already led Guo Lin to break out of the rainforest.

Chen Rong, who had been monitoring Guo Lin on the Beidou radar, noticed the situation immediately. In order to prevent the enemy from realizing his intentions, Chen Rong decided to take only Sun Tiantian with him to pursue them, since there were only six enemies who had broken through.

"Hunter, I'll go and bring Guo Lin back!"

Xu Ke glanced at the direction Chen Rong and Sun Tiantian were heading, and nodded without saying a word.

The battle on the edge of the rainforest continues.

The enemy doesn't seem to be good at large-scale teamwork; even now, in the chaotic skirmishes, they're still fighting in groups of three.

The hunter squad quickly discovered this and immediately responded by dividing into groups of ten, maximizing their numerical advantage.

Amidst the dense gunfire and explosions, Chen Rong and Sun Tiantian made their way to the grassy bank of the river. Under the cover of smoke, they quickly waded across the water and headed south.

On the Beidou radar, three of the seven red and one green dots that were moving forward suddenly stopped and lay in ambush on both sides of the inevitable path.

Seeing this, Chen Rong was certain that the other party had tracking equipment and knew that he and Sun Tiantian were behind them.

"Brother Bi, there are three enemies lying in ambush at the 12 o'clock position!"

Chen Rong inspected the shotgun he had taken from the hunter and took out a few shotgun shells with his left hand.

Sun Tiantian tacitly took out two hand grenades: "I'll throw them if you tell me to."

"Wait a minute, let's go around and see if they can spot us." Chen Rong led Sun Tiantian in an arc, heading straight for the rear of the three ambushing enemies.

He wanted to test whether these three enemies knew his movements.

When Chen Rong and his companion were less than 30 meters away from the enemy, the enemy still did not react.

Chen Rong realized that the one who could truly detect his whereabouts was the commander, and decisively took action.

"Brother Bi, throw it!"

Boom boom!

Bang bang bang!
Two grenades exploded in the grass ahead, and Chen Rong blew the heads off three enemies with three shots. The two of them wasted almost no time and continued their pursuit.

By this time, both sides had left the rainforest and were running south along the upper reaches of the river. The trees gradually thinned out, and after three kilometers, the terrain suddenly flattened out, and they entered a small plain with little cover.

As the moonlight streamed down, the view became wider and clearer.

Several birds circled high in the sky, while Chen Rong and Sun Tiantian moved at full speed across the grass.

Sun Tiantian was already used to following Chen Rong without having to make any unnecessary tactical moves, because he would inform her of any danger in advance. At this moment, she asked breathlessly, "King Yama, how far are we from them?"

"Two kilometers."

"Damn, these genetically modified humans are really fast! They can run so fast even while carrying a hostage!"

They had been chasing for more than ten minutes, but they didn't expect the distance to have increased so much.

"Luckily, they still had Guo Lin with them, otherwise they probably would have escaped back into the ambush area and we might not have been able to catch up." Seeing that Chen Rong didn't speak, Sun Tiantian comforted herself again.

"Ok?"

Sun Tiantian's words made Chen Rong's heart skip a beat, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

The Hunter Squad has already locked onto the enemy, and it's only a matter of time before they are completely wiped out. Furthermore, the Hunter Squad's tactics from the beginning did not take the hostages into consideration, a fact that the enemy commander must have realized, otherwise he would not have chosen to break out.

Since that's the case, the commander naturally knows that our side has already discovered their plan to ambush the hunter team. So why is he still bringing Guo Lin along at this time?

The hunter has just demonstrated our stance through his actions: we would rather let Guo Lin become a martyr than compromise and annihilate the entire unit.

The previous surprise attack on Chen Rong had given him a clear understanding of the commander's abilities. If it weren't for his own indestructible physique, he would already be a charred corpse.

As the saying goes, there's always something fishy going on when things seem unusual.

Given the formidable physical abilities of these genetically engineered individuals, without Guo Lin as a burden, there's a very high probability they could reach the ambush zone before I could catch up.

The other party's insistence on taking Guo Lin with them suggests they have ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, Chen Rong spoke up: "Brother Bi, something's not right. You continue the pursuit; there's no danger ahead for now. I'll go and intercept them!"

Sun Tiantian, panting, said, "I knew you could speed things up, you animal! You go first... Holy crap! Where is everyone?"

Skill - Stealth Arrival, Activate!
After entering stealth mode, Chen Rong gained the ability to force his way to the destination, which immediately increased his speed, allowing him to quickly leave Sun Tiantian behind.

. . .

. . .

More than two kilometers ahead, two white soldiers were carrying Guo Lin, who was lying on a stretcher, and running wildly behind Byrne.

Bourne's left eye flashed red for a moment, and he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, sir?" one of them asked.

Bourne frowned, said nothing, and looked up at the sky where a flock of birds flew slowly by.

“The King of Hell may have caught up ahead of us. You two stay here, and I will continue forward with the hostages.”

Byrne reached out and lifted Guo Lin off the stretcher. "The positioning device hasn't been activated long enough. I don't know if it will be ready in time."

"Sir, you go first. We'll try our best to hold off the King of Hell. We're grateful for your care over the years!"

The two soldiers saluted and turned around without hesitation to meet the soldiers who had come from.

Bourne opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Tonight is the day they are free; every team member is probably looking forward to this day!

Chen Rong, with the help of his forced arrival skill, quickly caught up. The Beidou radar showed that two enemies were lying in ambush by the river dozens of meters ahead, and a kilometer away, through the vision of flying birds, Guo Lin could be seen being dragged by the commander and continuing to run wildly.

After a moment's thought, Chen Rong immediately decided to skip the two enemies in front of him, because if they died, the commander would likely become aware of the situation. It would be better to leave it to Sun Tiantian to deal with.

Just to be on the safe side, Chen Rong marked the area so that he could know the enemy's location as soon as Sun Tiantian arrived.

A few minutes after Chen Rong left, the faint sound of AUG gunfire came from behind. At the same time, the two red dots on the Beidou radar disappeared, indicating that Sun Tiantian had succeeded.

At this point, Chen Rong had no more worries and focused solely on pursuing the commander and Guo Lin who were not far ahead.

Da da da!
Da da da!
Gunshots rang out, and Chen Rong, who had been sharing the bird's-eye view, saw the commander suddenly stop and raise the gun barrel into the air. The next moment, Chen Rong's vision went black.

The opponent actually shot down all the birds flying overhead!
Not simple!

Chen Rong thought to himself, "It seems this person already knows that he can be monitored through animals."

After sensing that there were no other animals nearby, and considering that he was only a few hundred meters away from the other party, Chen Rong simply accelerated and rushed forward.

Soon, Chen Rong stopped at a relatively wide section of the river, frowning as he looked at the middle of the river.

In the river, two heads were pressed tightly together, and the unconscious Guo Lin had a pistol pressed against his forehead by Bourne from behind.

Chen Rong drew his Glock and paced along the riverbank for a while, only to find that he couldn't find a good angle to shoot from.

The location chosen by the other side was very tricky; to see Bourne's head, one would have to wade across to the other side.

Seeing the pistol pressed against Guo Lin's forehead, Chen Rong hesitated whether to use the aquatic animals to launch a sneak attack.

"King Yama, my name is Byrne. I know you're here, and I know you have invisibility equipment and might be watching me. Show yourself, let's talk!"

"My men should all be dead by now, which is a good thing, to be honest. This Project O was originally a form of torture..."

"I didn't intend to survive either!" Bourne shouted. Skill - Invisible Arrival, Cancel!
Chen Rong appeared by the river, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, looking in the direction of Bourne and Guo Lin: "Bourne, right? You release my comrade, and I'll be your hostage, how about that?"

"Is this invisibility? It's amazing! I didn't believe it when I first saw the intelligence report, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized it's even more incredible than what was described in the intelligence report!"

Byrne exclaimed in admiration, then continued, "King Yama, do you think I would let someone who can't even be killed by a rocket launcher get close?"

Skill - Friend or Foe Identification, activate!
"So what exactly do you want? To die together with my comrades?"

Chen Rong said calmly, "You should know that now that I've caught up with you, there's no way you can escape."

Not far away at the bottom of the river, a huge water python was poised to strike under Chen Rong's control.

He didn't know what Byrne's monitoring methods were or whether they could detect any movement in the water, so he didn't dare to act immediately.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides was about ten meters. For Chen Rong, this distance was such that he could blow the head off even a mosquito, let alone a person.

Chen Rong was actually looking for an opportunity to kill him with one blow.

But Bourne hid his head behind Guo Lin, and both of their bodies were submerged in the water, leaving no angle for shooting.

Chen Rong's mind raced as he spoke, quickly devising a countermeasure.

He came up with two solutions: one was to shoot Bourne in the wrist where he was holding the gun and then use the anaconda to forcibly drag him away; the other was to wait for Sun Tiantian to arrive. One person might not be able to handle Bourne, but two people would turn the tide.

"Of course I know what you're saying, and I also know that your companions will arrive soon, and then I'll be dead too."

Bourne's voice surprisingly carried an air of anticipation. "So, we have limited time. If you don't want your comrades to die, agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

“If you gouge out one of your eyes, I will release your comrade.”

Analysis result: Lie.

. . .

. . .

Chen Rong frowned.

It wasn't because of Bernty's request, but because of the analysis results on the panel.

Why would the other party lie?

"What, you're not willing anymore? It's just one eye. Are you going to just watch your comrade die at my hands?"

Seeing that Chen Rong did not speak, Bourne's voice came from behind Guo Lin's head.

"If I don't agree, you're going to shoot right now?" Chen Rong asked again.

"Of course!"

Analysis result: Lie.

really!

The other party won't fire, but what exactly does he want to do?
I glanced at the Beidou radar and saw that Sun Tiantian was already on her way and would arrive in about five minutes.

"Since you're not willing to trade an eye for it, then I'll ask for something else."

Bourne continued, "If you let the first King of Hell, who is now the Hunter, come and say a few words to me, I can still release your comrades."

Analysis result: Lie.

Chen Rong suddenly had a bad feeling that the other party's current actions were a delaying tactic!
"Do you know why I insisted on having the hunter come? Because we fought each other back then..."

clap clap!

Before Bourne could finish speaking, Chen Rong suddenly raised his hand with lightning speed, and two bullets accurately hit the wrist of the man holding the gun.

The next moment, the water churned, and a giant python nearly ten meters long suddenly appeared, biting the head behind Guo Lin and dragging Bourne into the water.

thump!
Chen Rong immediately jumped into the water and dragged Guo Lin to the shore. After untying him, he carefully checked him over and, finding that his vital signs were normal, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began pressing Guo Lin's acupoints.

The river water was still churning, and the giant body of the anaconda occasionally slid across the surface. The red dot representing Bourne disappeared, which meant that the anaconda was dead.

"Cough cough cough..."

Guo Lin coughed twice, opened his eyes, and instinctively rolled over into a defensive stance before finally seeing Chen Rong clearly.

"King Yama? You saved me!"

"Senior brother, how are you feeling? Are you injured anywhere?" Chen Rong asked immediately.

Guo Lin touched himself and shook his head: "Except for a slightly uncomfortable throat, everything else is fine."

Chen Rong frowned even more deeply.

Bourne just died like that?
What exactly is the other party's purpose?
When Chen Rong shot Bourne in the wrist, he was actually gambling that the other man wouldn't have time to do anything.

Now it seems like the gamble paid off, but the more Chen Rong thought about it, the more something felt off. Everything had happened too smoothly!
It went so smoothly, as if Bourne had deliberately cooperated with him to save people.

Could it really be as he said, that the other party was actually seeking death? Then what was the point of him taking Guo Lin with him on the run?
"What's wrong, Junior Brother? What happened?" Seeing Chen Rong deep in thought, Guo Lin couldn't help but ask.

After you were arrested, did they do anything to you?

"I was knocked unconscious and don't know anything..." Guo Lin felt a little guilty; being captured by the enemy was a very shameful thing.

Boom boom boom!
Footsteps sounded, and Sun Tiantian came running up, panting. As soon as she saw Guo Lin, she smiled and said, "They're back! Where's their commander?"

Chen Rong pointed to the river: "The body is in the water."

thump!
Sun Tiantian jumped in.

Chen Rong and Guo Lin both looked puzzled: "Brother Bi, what are you doing?"

"Retrieving a corpse! That guy must have had something good on him, otherwise why would he have been playing hide-and-seek with us in the rainforest for so long?"

Sun Tiantian flipped Bourne's body over and clicked her tongue, "Oh, he's a one-eyed bastard!"

Chen Rong, who had just helped Guo Lin up, suddenly turned around: "What did you say?"

"I said this guy is a one-eyed bastard, his left eyeball is gone!" Sun Tiantian continued to search the corpse.

"Brother Bi, quick, drag the body up!"

Chen Rong remembered clearly that he had seen Bourne through the sniper scope before, and the other man's eyes were clearly normal!
After Sun Tiantian dragged the body up, Chen Rong immediately went over to it and found that the body's left eye socket was indeed empty.

"Is there a problem?" Sun Tiantian reached out and poked around in the corpse's eye sockets a few times before asking.

“I can confirm that Bourne’s eyes were intact before, even a few minutes ago!” Chen Rong said with a serious expression.

He vaguely remembered that when Bourne looked up and shot down the bird, there was nothing unusual about his eyes.

So, the reason the other party had been hiding behind Guo Lin's head all along was actually because they didn't want him to see that his left eyeball was missing?
"Where did his eyeballs go? They couldn't have been eaten by a tiger, could they?" Sun Tiantian said casually.

"eat?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Rong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked at Guo Lin, "Senior brother, you just said your throat was uncomfortable?"

Guo Lin's expression changed: "No way?"

Sun Tiantian's eyes widened: "Holy crap! You ate someone's eyeballs?!"
