Li Wei chimed in from the side, "This place is in complete chaos. I wonder if we'll be able to escape safely."
Su Ting looked back at them, his tone calm: "No matter what, we must bring this equipment back safely. It's the only way to save the city from disaster."
They continued running, through grove after grove of trees, when suddenly Lin Tao stumbled and almost fell over.
Su Ting quickly helped him up and asked softly, "Are you alright?"
Lin Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, saying, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
Li Wei stepped forward and pointed to an open space ahead. "There's a wide-open area over there. Maybe we can rest there for a while."
Su Ting hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. "Alright, we'll go there, but we must remain vigilant."
The group walked into the open space and looked around to make sure no enemies were following them before they relaxed a little.
Lin Tao opened the metal box and carefully inspected the equipment inside. Only after confirming that there was no damage did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Ting leaned against a large tree and dialed the radio communication device.
"Headquarters, this is Su Ting. We have obtained the target equipment and are evacuating the site, but we are under attack by the enemy. Please send reinforcements immediately."
A hurried voice came from the other end: "Roger that, Captain Su. Support is on its way. We will do our best to provide cover. Please make sure to protect the equipment."
Upon hearing the news, Li Wei showed a relieved expression. "Finally, there's hope. Now we just need to keep going."
Su Ting nodded, his eyes still scanning the surroundings warily. "Don't let your guard down. Our situation is still dangerous. If you notice anything unusual, evacuate immediately."
Just then, the buzzing of a drone suddenly came from the air, followed by another burst of gunfire in the distance.
Su Ting quickly stood up. "It seems the enemy's pursuers have arrived. Everyone get ready, we must leave here as soon as possible."
The group picked up their weapons again, preparing for the impending battle.
Su Ting waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him deeper into the woods, constantly changing direction to evade pursuit.
In a patch of low bushes, Su Ting stopped and whispered to his teammates, "Let's hide here for now and see if we can launch a counterattack."
No sooner had they finished speaking than several enemies appeared from the other side of the path, clearly also searching for them.
Su Ting took a deep breath, aimed at one of them, and fired. The gunshot drew the attention of all the enemies, and a fierce battle instantly broke out.
"Retreat!" Lin Tao shouted, rushing out of his hiding place first. The others followed closely behind, gradually forcing the enemy back with their tacit cooperation.
Just when they thought they could escape smoothly, a fully armed truck appeared in front of them, with a heavy machine gun mounted on it.
The driver grinned maliciously as he looked this way, slowly turning the muzzle of his gun to aim at them.
"Oh no, this is a huge problem." Li Wei's expression changed, and his voice was filled with anxiety.
Su Ting's eyes were resolute, and he cursed through gritted teeth, "We can't give up! We have to break out of here no matter what!"
Chapter 336 The Breakthrough Route
Su Ting quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to find a way to break through.
At this moment, Lin Tao suddenly said, "I have an idea. We can try to distract them."
"What method?" Su Ting asked immediately.
"There's a dense forest over there. If we can create some smoke, it might distract the enemy temporarily."
Lin Tao explained, "I can adjust the equipment to make it release some chemical fumes."
“Okay, let’s give it a try.” Su Ting nodded. “Li Wei, you and I will cover Lin Tao here and buy some time.”
Li Wei gripped the gun tightly and nodded: "Understood, I will do my best to cover you."
Lin Tao quickly opened the metal box and took out a small device. He quickly adjusted the parameters, saying, "Give me three minutes."
Su Ting glanced at the time, nodded, and said, "Okay, three minutes it is."
Meanwhile, the enemies on the truck had adjusted the direction of their machine guns and began to slowly approach them.
Sutin aimed at the enemy's tires and opened fire decisively. Several bullets struck the tires, immediately slowing the truck down.
"Well done!" Li Wei exclaimed, then joined the shooting team.
Lin Tao stared nervously at the equipment in his hands. Finally, he let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay, ready!"
Lin Tao pressed the button, and instantly a thick plume of white smoke shot out from the small device, quickly spreading outwards.
The entire open space was shrouded in a white mist.
"Now's the time!" Su Ting shouted, leading the way as they rushed out of their hiding place.
The group quickly made their way through the thick fog, trying to avoid making a sound. However, the enemy wasn't stupid; they soon realized something was wrong and began firing blindly.
As Lin Tao ran, he glanced back at the truck. "This smoke should last for a while, but not too long. We must find a new hiding place as soon as possible."
While keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings, Su Ting replied, "I know a place that's quite secluded and not far from here."
The group followed Su Ting, quickly advancing along a patch of low bushes. Along the way, they constantly changed direction to evade the enemy's pursuit.
Finally, they found refuge in an abandoned hut. The hut was hidden at the foot of a steep hillside and was very difficult to find.
After entering the cabin, Lin Tao opened the metal box again to check the equipment. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was in order: "Luckily, the equipment wasn't broken, otherwise everything would have been over."
Su Ting leaned against the corner of the wall and dialed the radio again: "Headquarters, this is Su Ting. We have temporarily evaded the enemy's pursuit and are resting in a secluded place. Requesting further instructions."
A voice came from the other end: "Captain Su, your position has been locked, and support troops are on their way to your area. Please maintain radio contact and be ready to respond at any time."
Li Wei smiled slightly: "It seems we still have hope, but I don't know if we can get back safely this time."
Su Ting, however, remained serious and said, "We cannot relax yet. We must remain highly vigilant to prevent any unforeseen events."
Lin Tao nodded and added, "We still need to formulate a next step plan. What if the enemy attacks again?"
Just as the three were discussing, they suddenly heard light footsteps outside the door.
Su Ting quickly raised his gun and whispered, "Someone's coming. Get ready."
Li Wei leaned against the doorway, gently pushed it open a crack, and looked outside.
"It's our support troops!" Li Wei exclaimed joyfully.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a soldier in uniform walked in: "Captain Su, reinforcements have arrived. You can retreat with me now."
Su Ting breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said, "Okay, lead the way."
As the group stepped out of the small house, they were met by more than a dozen fully armed comrades. They quickly surrounded Su Ting and his party, preparing to evacuate.
Chapter 337 Ready to handle emergencies at any time
Just as everyone was preparing to evacuate with the support troops, suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out in the distance.
Su Ting's expression changed, and he immediately became more vigilant.
"Oh no, the enemy may have discovered us!" Li Wei said nervously.
The uniformed soldier captain reacted quickly: "Everyone, prepare for battle! Captain Su, stick close to me."
Su Ting nodded in response, "Understood." He turned to Lin Tao and Li Wei, "Be prepared to deal with any emergencies."
Lin Tao adjusted the equipment in his hands to ensure that everything was working properly.
"Don't worry, if you give me a little more time, I can create more smoke to cover our escape."
At this moment, the enemy had begun to approach, bullets whizzing past their ears. Su Ting quickly directed his teammates to take cover and began the counterattack.
"Captain Su, the enemy's firepower is very strong. This can't go on," the captain of the support unit said anxiously.
“I know,” Su Ting said decisively after taking a deep breath.
"We must break through as soon as possible and find a new escape route. Li Wei, go scout the right side and see if there's a way out there. Lin Tao, continue preparing the smoke devices; we need more cover."
"Understood!" the two responded simultaneously and began to act.
On the other side, Li Wei carefully climbed up the mountain wall next to the cabin.
He quickly found a hidden path. "Captain Su, there's a path here! But it's a bit of a detour, and it's not easy to walk."
Su Ting heard the news over the radio and immediately made a decision: "It's alright, we'll evacuate along this route. Notify the other team members to prepare for the transfer."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tao finished debugging the device in his hand. "Alright, it's ready to use at any time."
Su Ting surveyed the surroundings and said firmly, "From now on, everyone follow me. Be careful, keep your height as low as possible, and don't let the enemy spot you."
They quickly rushed out of the back door of the hidden hut and headed down the inconspicuous path.
Although the road was difficult to travel, it certainly made their movements more unpredictable. Along the way, everyone held their breath, afraid to make a sound.
"Speed up and try to get out of the danger zone before the enemy can react," Su Ting whispered a reminder.
Suddenly, a few faint sounds came from ahead, like something being broken underfoot. "Stop!" Su Ting immediately raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
Lin Tao looked at Su Ting nervously: "Has the enemy discovered our whereabouts?"
“Not sure, but be careful.” Su Ting slowly moved forward and peeked ahead. There seemed to be movement in the bushes not far away. He quietly raised his gun, ready to deal with whatever might happen.
However, what happened next surprised him greatly—a little girl suddenly jumped out of the bushes, looking about seven or eight years old, her face covered in mud.
"Wow, uncles! Are you hiding from people?" she asked curiously, looking at the group of fully armed people.
Everyone froze, including the approaching enemy, who seemed to have stopped advancing.
