Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 132 The Hunt Begins

Xu Sanduo was terrified, and a feeling of sadness welled up in his chest, making him want to cry, but he still resolutely chose to carry out the mission.

It's like a tragic protagonist!

Jackie Chan received a similar call, almost like a script, but his situation was completely different, the exact opposite of Xu Sanduo's.

They are walking a passionate and energetic path.

With the factory topographic map I memorized last night, plus my excellent stereoscopic perception, I was able to do it.

Jackie Chan made his way smoothly through the dark underground passage filled with yellow smoke, until he arrived at the bottom of the final large warehouse.

By listening to the sounds above, Jackie Chan found a secluded, deserted corner.

Climb up the steel ladder embedded in the wall to the top of the passage, and then carefully observe the outside situation through the gaps in the hollow cement slab.

Only after confirming that there were no criminals on board did Jackie Chan officially begin his operation.

He inserted his feet into the steel ladder to secure his body, freeing his hands to lift the concrete slab with the strength of a powerful warrior, and slowly moved it to the side.

A little noise was made during the opening process; the rustling friction sound was unavoidable.

Jackie Chan listened cautiously for a while longer.

After making sure he didn't hear any footsteps approaching, meaning no one had noticed what was happening, he climbed out of the passage.

What appeared before me was a huge warehouse that was dirty, messy, full of garbage, and all the equipment was rusty, yet it was also very spacious.

It is at least 50 meters long and wide, with a large number of walls, supporting columns and rooms throughout, as well as all kinds of boxes and equipment.

Through the gaps between these various objects, you can see scattered enemies.

These enemies were all carrying Type 81 rifles, wearing identical orange jumpsuits resembling those of convicts, and only wearing ordinary gas masks on their faces.

In places with large leaks of toxic gas and radiation, wearing a mask is not enough.

Without the protection of biochemical protective clothing, exposed skin can also be harmed by toxic gases.

This is a very obvious vulnerability!

"There are enough bunkers and the area is large enough that clearing them out shouldn't be a problem."

Jackie Chan was already aware of these loopholes and didn't pay much attention to them. After completing his observation of the warehouse, he began to prepare for the next move.

The first thing he did was hide the gun he was carrying.

Jackie Chan checked the gun last night and found it was completely unusable; to be precise, the bullets were all useless.

It's probably for the safety of the exercise, to prevent a new recruit from actually killing an experienced soldier.

In order to make the operation look realistic, and to avoid the guns being filled with blanks, which would reveal obvious flaws when opened, they also had to ensure that the operation was realistic.

Yuan Lang made some ingenious preparations, using specially made reloaded ammunition.

In other words, a new bullet is put into a spent cartridge case, making it look like a live bullet, but it cannot be fired because it has no primer.

They even filled the cartridge cases with dry soil, and their weight was no different from that of a real bullet.

If Jackie Chan hadn't taken out a bullet and examined it carefully for a long time, finally noticing a small dent in the base of the bullet caused by a gun needle impact.

Yuan Lang's incredibly realistic reloaded bullet was enough to fool Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan knew this was a fake operation, which is why he examined the bullets so closely.

Other newcomers didn't know this, so they weren't as careful.

When they took out the magazine and saw that there were bullets inside, and with such a grand display of force, including the presence of the battalion commander, no new recruit would suspect that there was anything wrong with the bullets.

(PS: I made some special modifications here, inspired by hand-loading ammunition.)

The original plot had a huge plot hole here, and it wasn't explained in the story. People who had been soldiers for so many years would definitely check the magazines if they suspected the authenticity of the operation, and even a fool could tell the bullet heads of blank rounds.

As for why guns could be fired in the story, and why bullets were flying everywhere, well, let's just pretend we didn't see it.

No country uses live ammunition in CQB (Close Quarters Battle) combat, and the A-Team is no exception.

Jackie Chan abandoned the Type 95 rifle, which was useless and even got in the way of a fire poker, and then removed his chemical protective helmet.

Although the warehouse was filled with a large amount of yellow smoke in order to create the impression of a toxic gas leak.

However, this is produced by a smoke generator. It smells a little uncomfortable and unpleasant, but it doesn't have much of an impact.

Removing the chemical protective hood that completely covers the head restores the maximum range of hearing and vision.

This will be more advantageous for Jackie Chan in the subsequent actions.

"The hunt has finally begun."

Having shed all his burdens and adjusted himself to peak condition, Jackie Chan was surprisingly excited at the thought of hand-to-hand combat with a dozen or so veterans.

My blood is pumping!

I felt like I had transformed into a fierce hunter, starting to fight my way through the chemical plant.

Yellow smoke filled the warehouse, along with black smoke from deliberately burning boxes and tires.

This allowed Jackie Chan to remain hidden and operate in the shadows, giving him the opportunity to get close to the criminals, much like launching a nighttime raid.

To Jackie Chan's right is the warehouse wall, and to his left is a raised platform over three meters high used to store materials.

I crept quietly to the left along the platform until I reached the corner of the camera lens. There, a criminal was taking off his mask and smoking.

I guess no one came in for half a day, and I got bored and wanted to smoke a cigarette to satisfy my craving.

They even secretly found a secluded spot.

This is a boon for Jackie Chan.

"Whoosh~"

A pair of arms reached out from around the corner.

The cigarette in the assailant's hand fell to the ground, sparks flew, and the man had vanished.

Jackie Chan swiftly rushed out from around the corner, covered the man's mouth with one hand, and wrapped his other arm around his neck, forcibly dragging him away.

Fear flickered in the assailant's eyes; it was the fear of death that he truly felt.

After struggling for a few moments...

With legs braced, hands hanging naturally, neck tilted, body limp like noodles, eyes closed, as if dead.

Jackie Chan easily used his arm to bend the assailant unconscious and knocked him down in a hidden corner.

They also grabbed two dirty snakeskin bags from the side and covered him with them as a disguise, hoping to delay his discovery by other thugs as much as possible.

Jackie Chan's control of the force was extremely precise.

It will not cause any aftereffects to the perpetrator; he will wake up after 10 minutes.

Having easily and effortlessly taken care of the first target, Jackie Chan noticed a lookout on the second floor of the warehouse and decided to find a way to eliminate him first.

The second floor offers a very good view, and if Jackie Chan doesn't take him out first, his movements on the first floor will be very restricted.

There's always the risk of him discovering us!

Jackie Chan peered through the thick smoke and quickly found the iron staircase leading to the second floor, about 20 meters away in the 7 o'clock direction.

To get to the second floor of the warehouse, you have to find a way to sneak over first.

There are two "walls" in between!

First, about 8 meters away, there was a shipping container placed horizontally, and two thugs were chatting there. I couldn't hear what they were saying because they were too far away.

Secondly, there was an iron staircase right next to a supporting pillar, and a thug was sitting on several boxes piled up next to it.

We must deal with them first before we can successfully get to the second floor.

It's not easy to sneak past two thugs together, and even if you do get past them, you can't take them both down at the same time. If you make a sound and get exposed, you're done for.

After racking his brains, Jackie Chan and Raymond Lam decided to use a trick to lure the snake out of its hole.

The large platform that had been moved back first went around to the side of the other platform, where it was less than four meters away from the container.

Jackie Chan picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it towards the left rear of the container.

"Bang!"

The knocking sound was very loud.

"Who?"

The two thugs immediately became alert.

The two assailants received no response to their shouts and were unsure of what was going on. They suspected that a foreign object had fallen into the ground, but they did not rush to report it.

The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and decided to go over and take a look.

The two criminals then split into two groups and surrounded the container from both sides. They cautiously walked over and found nothing unusual.

"Something probably fell and hit the metal sheet," one of the thugs guessed.

"This place has been abandoned for so long, I'm worried it might collapse at any moment, haha," another thug laughed.

"Fortunately, they were just fooling those pumpkins for fun, and they left after they were done. Judging by the time, it will be over in half an hour at most," the first thug said.

"Half an hour should be enough. I heard the other groups have already caught a few. These pumpkins are no good," the second thug said.

"We also have a group here with three pumpkins, but we haven't seen them yet. Did they get lost in the passageway?"

"Who knows? Maybe they're scared out of their wits and have already run away," the second thug said.

"Hopefully these pumpkins will be smart enough to be killed or captured by us. If they choose to run away, it's like forfeiting, and that would be a huge problem."

After the first thug finished speaking, he frowned, touched his waistband, and said, "Forget about them, I'm going to relieve myself first."

When those three pumpkins come out, clean them up and pack them up to take home.

"Okay, then hurry up, I'll go keep watch first." The second thug said and turned to leave.

"I've been stuck in this godforsaken place for days, but today it's finally over. Sigh~"

The first thug sighed and muttered to himself as he unbuckled his belt and walked behind the table, intending to find a corner to relieve himself.

Before he could even react at the corner, he was struck in the neck by a cleaver.

He wanted to hide, but he couldn't.

Jackie Chan's hand strike was too fast, and it was a surprise attack. With the two combined, he simply couldn't react.

The entire process, from start to finish, takes less than 0.5 seconds.

It's black in front of you.

He knew nothing at all.

Jackie Chan dragged the thug who had been knocked unconscious back and prepared to hide him against the corner of the wall next to the large platform.

but.

Seeing that the thugs were over 1.8 meters tall and their orange jumpsuits were very loose, Jackie Chan suddenly had a new idea.

He bent down and performed a series of operations.

When Jackie Chan came out from around the corner, he had changed into an orange jumpsuit and was wearing a pig-snout gas mask.

At first glance, he also appeared to be a criminal.

An exceptionally strong thug!

The thug lying in the corner was in a pitiful state, stripped down to only his underwear.

He was only covered by the full set of chemical combat suit that Jackie Chan had carelessly discarded, which had already fulfilled its mission.

Although Jackie Chan's uniquely large physique makes him quite eye-catching in a jumpsuit with his broad shoulders and prominent chest, it's still much better than a black chemical protective suit.

At least if the thugs saw Jackie Chan before, they would definitely attack without saying a word.

Now that you see him dressed as a thug, your first reaction will definitely be confusion and surprise. How come we have such a strong guy in our team?

Then comes suspicion, and only lastly will action be taken.

Adding these two steps gives Jackie Chan unlimited opportunities.

This is not.

The benefits of changing clothes were immediately apparent.

Jackie Chan walked back like that, and didn't even realize what was happening until he reached the second thug. He didn't even turn around to look at him.

I only caught a glimpse of an orange figure out of the corner of my eye, and assumed it was a companion returning from urinating, so I paid it no mind.

The result, naturally, was that he followed in his brother's footsteps.

Unable to resist, Jackie Chan strangled him from behind until he passed out and dragged him into a nearby shipping container.
