Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 287 The Final Battle (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Book peddlers are ruthless individuals who risk their lives for money, constantly putting their heads on the line. When they get ruthless, they become incredibly insane, and their strength is astounding.

Even though Zhuang Yan was tall and strong, he didn't gain any advantage and was instead forced into a very awkward situation.

As the dagger drew ever closer to his kidney, Zhuang Yan was sweating profusely with anxiety, but he was helpless and dared not shout for his teammates to help.

Just then.

Jackie Chan appeared at the door of the fitting room.

Seeing that Zhuang Yan, as a novice in actual combat, did not kill the vicious book seller with a knife, but instead tried to strangle the book seller with a cross lock, he was forced to the point of turning red in the face by the book seller with a dagger.

It's like having the power of a Gatling gun, but then throwing it away and using a wooden stick to stab people.

Jackie Chan was so angry he almost laughed.

"Doesn't this newbie know his own limitations?"

Jackie Chan thought to himself that he had decided to punish Zhuang Yan.

He reached behind his back and pulled out the Type 95 military knife from the tactical pouch at his waist.

Just when Zhuang Yan thought Jackie Chan was about to take action and use the knife to kill the peddler, Jackie Chan unexpectedly bent down and instead of stabbing the peddler in the body, he put the knife into the peddler's left hand.

"Here's the knife. If you want to live, kill him."

Jackie Chan spoke very calmly, as if he were looking at a stranger, without the slightest hint of joking.

Don't think I wouldn't dare.

Zhuang Yan was both angered by Jackie Chan and provoked by his provocation.

Zhuang Yan, who was already extremely proud and competitive, was driven by anger and a strong will to survive, so he gritted his teeth and plunged the knife in.

"Tch~"

The smoothness of the knife entering the body far exceeded Zhuang Yan's expectations.

Zhuang Yan, who thought it would be difficult to stab in, used all his strength in this thrust, and ended up plunging the entire blade in.

The sensation of the blade piercing his body traveled clearly from Zhuang Yan's hand into his brain.

I can't quite describe the feeling.

Fear, anxiety, tension, excitement, nausea...

A mix of various feelings created a strange emotion in Zhuang Yan's mind, making his head tingle and his skin crawl.

As the book vendor's chest was pierced, blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, and his body twitched and trembled.

Because Zhuang Yan was holding the reader in his arms, he could clearly feel the reader's physical reactions before death.

Zhuang Yan, who had initially felt a chill run down his spine, suddenly felt relieved.

Zhuang Yan had prepared himself mentally for his first murder, thinking he would be very abnormal and unable to accept that he had become a murderer.

I found that I didn't feel much at all!

It's like completing a job, not much different from killing a chicken.

The reaction to killing someone for the first time can be broadly divided into three categories: feeling nothing, feeling extremely disgusted, and having a strong stress reaction.

Xu Sanduo exhibits the third type of stress response, while Tuo Yonggang and Wu Zhe are disgusting to the core.

Zhuang Yan belongs to the first type!

Once you overcome the psychological barrier before you stab someone, you can easily accept the result afterward and won't have much of a reaction.

"Well done!"

Jackie Chan was very satisfied with Zhuang Yan's performance, as it exceeded his expectations.

He gave Zhuang Yan a thumbs-up to encourage him, took the military knife (only the hilt was left) from his hand, picked up the corpse that was still gripping him with one hand, and threw the knife aside.

While wiping the blood from the knife onto the peddler's clothes, he asked Zhuang Yan, who was lying on the ground, "Are you feeling alright?"

"Phew~~"

Zhuang Yan looked at his right hand, seemingly still savoring the feeling from just now. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, saying expressionlessly, "Not bad!"

"Keep it up."

Jackie Chan reached out to Zhuang Yan, who was sitting on the ground, pulled him up, patted him on the back, and said, "Keep pushing forward."

Zhuang Yan is really something else; he has such a great attitude.

The first time he killed someone, and it was at close range, he recovered from the shock in less than half a minute and became nonchalant.

He gave a safety signal as he left the shop and continued leading the team forward.

Zheng Sanpao was the second to last in the formation. As he left, he patted Qiang Xiaowei on the shoulder, giving Qiang Xiaowei, who was focused on covering the rear, a signal.

Upon receiving the signal, Qiang Xiaowei turned his left hand over and placed it on Zheng Sanpao's shoulder, then walked backwards sideways.

Because they had all practiced Jackie Chan's speed-up method, walking backwards was not difficult for them, and they would not fall down while walking backwards.

While walking backwards may look awkward, it provides the best rear visibility.

In this shopping mall, the view behind you is extremely important.

The team continued to advance in formation, checking each shop one by one, and it seemed that nothing had changed from before.

The atmosphere has actually changed completely.

The moment Zhuang Yan emerged from the clothing store with a large amount of blood on his body and a distinct smell of blood, his face expressionless.

Geng Jihui, Qiang Xiaowei, and other members of Group B knew what had happened inside.

While admiring Zhuang Yan's composure after killing someone, they also realized that Zhuang Yan had already achieved the first kill, which meant he was ahead of everyone else.

Driven by their competitive spirit, Geng Jihui and the others couldn't help but become expectant as well.

But the thought of killing someone himself filled him with inexplicable tension and fear.

kill.

Ultimately, it's a taboo word.

Amidst the complex emotions of everyone present, the team searched five more shops, but found nothing of interest.

Just as they were heading to the ninth shop, an unexpected situation suddenly arose.

About ten meters ahead, a male book vendor carrying a gun suddenly walked out of the top shop and came face to face with Group B.

Things happened far too suddenly.

Both sides bounced back.

Almost simultaneously, without a moment's hesitation, both sides realized the danger and decided to kill each other.

"Chirp chirp chirp".

The silenced gun fired three shots in quick succession.

The peddler's reaction was ultimately a beat too slow; he couldn't compare to a professionally trained special forces soldier, and he was shot three times before collapsing to the ground.

After completing the Mozambique shooting, Zhuang Yan immediately quickened his pace forward, keeping the muzzle of his rifle locked on the drug dealer.

Geng Jihui and the others behind Zhuang Yan felt at ease leaving the front to Zhuang Yan to handle, while they were responsible for dealing with the shops passing by on both sides.

If a peddler is found inside a shop, shoot him dead immediately.

I was very lucky.

They found no book vendors in the shops, so the group quickly approached them.

"Chirp~"

Zhuang Yan didn't forget the training procedures and fired another shot into his head.

Having confirmed that the peddler was 100% dead, the team maintained its fan-shaped defensive advance formation and continued to advance methodically along the corridor.

They quickly eliminated two more book vendors, still without revealing their own presence.

The peddlers were all shot dead on the spot by the Lone Wolf B team with lightning speed and precise marksmanship, without any resistance.

The sound of a silenced subsonic bullet is louder than a normal person's cough.

Everything was perfectly masked by the noise from the loudspeakers.

Jackie Chan stayed at the back of the group the whole time and did not participate in the process. He only played a guiding role to prevent any major problems from occurring.

Therefore, they did not actually participate, and everything was handled by the Lone Wolf B team on their own.

Group B's operation has progressed to this point, having already eliminated four book vendors on the second floor. Combined with the five already identified on the first floor, they now know there are nine book vendors.

The locations of the four book vendors are still unknown, and the eleven hostages have not yet been found.

All the raiders, including Jackie Chan, believed that the remaining four book traffickers were most likely with the hostages.

Eleven hostages is no small number; one or two people would certainly be inconvenient.

Adding to the list of the "do-nothing" book vendor leader, there would definitely be two book vendors guarding the hostages together, and at most one book vendor outside.

In other words...

The final battle is imminent, and it may very well take place in the next shop.

"Eleven hostages plus three drug dealers, that's at least fourteen people! To accommodate so many people, we'd definitely need a large store, which means..."

Jackie Chan suddenly realized a key point, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.

Thinking of this crucial information, Jackie Chan patted Geng Jihui on the shoulder, signaling him to remind Zhuang Yan to go ahead and find a place to hold a meeting.

"receive!"

He gave Ji Hui an OK sign and patted Zhuang Yan on the shoulder to convey his message.

The group immediately stopped moving forward and, led by Zhuang Yan, turned into a children's clothing store, continuing towards the innermost part of the store.

The others followed Zhuang Yan further in, leaving only Zheng Sanpao and Qiang Xiaowei behind.

The two men stood on either side of the door, guarding the left and right ends of the corridor outside the shop.
