Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 488 One for Six, a Huge Profit

It was Lone Wolf who launched the sky rocket, and his purpose was exactly as Zhang Tianyang had guessed.

It's only been a short time since night fell, and many groups haven't found an ideal place to spend the night yet. There are several groups of players near the independent building.

Fireworks rise from the sky and are spectacular at night; they can be clearly seen by people within a radius of several hundred meters.

Players who desperately needed a place to stay overnight assumed that a fight had broken out on the independent building side and were thinking of sneaking over there to take advantage of the situation.

So, just a few minutes later, a nearby group sneaked over.

Group 02, occupying the highest point, immediately spotted the approaching team.

"Three of them have arrived here," Zhang Tianyang said in a low voice.

"I have some too," Yan Poyue said.

"They're here too."

Xiao Yunjie was so nervous that he could barely keep his voice down, raising it a notch as he said, "We're doomed, Yanzi, we're surrounded!"

"Don't panic, Lao Xiao, stay calm."

Yan Poyue tried to comfort Xiao Yunjie verbally, but his furrowed brows revealed that he was also on the verge of collapse.

Three teams were closing in from three directions, and an ace sniper was keeping watch in the shadows.

The pressure is really immense!

At this critical moment of life and death, Zhang Tianyang, the team leader, was the first to succumb to the pressure and decided to sacrifice himself.

He didn't want to become a burden to Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie by dragging his half-crippled leg.

Ultimately, in this crucial battle, because they needed to protect him, who had mobility issues, all three of them were eliminated.

Therefore, Zhang Tianyang changed from being passive to being active, and fired without any discussion.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

A gunshot rang out; it came from Zhang Tianyang.

The three groups that were sneaking up from below heard the gunshots, which affected their advance and slowed them down considerably.

They all sought cover nearby before launching a counterattack against Zhang Tianyang and continuing their advance.

This was exactly the effect Zhang Tianyang wanted.

Having temporarily slowed the pace of the encirclement, Zhang Tianyang said to Yan Poyue, "Yan Poyue, don't forget what you just said: two of you must be among the last six."

Zhang Tianyang gave Yan Poyue no time to react. After speaking, he picked up the rope he had prepared and threw it over the wall.

He then skillfully scaled the wall and quickly descended to the ground using a rope.

"Class monitor~"

Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie tried to stop it, but found it was too late.

Faced with the intense gunfire outside, the two had no choice but to retreat back into the small house.

They all knew what Zhang Tianyang meant by doing this; he wanted to move his position by going down to the first floor alone, which was essentially pulling the firing line out.

This way, the surrounding team would need to attack one more point, making it impossible to completely surround the rooftop.

Moreover, if the people surrounding the area wanted to get to the roof, they would first have to take down Zhang Tianyang, who was guarding the first floor, which added an extra obstacle to overcome.

In this way...

With Zhang Tianyang below providing cover, Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie, who were positioned at a high vantage point, were able to greatly reduce the danger.

Zhang Tianyang took the initiative and went down to the first floor, catching the surrounding team off guard.

A small group that had sneaked in from the rear was caught off guard by Zhang Tianyang's sudden attack, and one of them was eliminated on the spot.

The remaining two were startled.

They hurriedly sought shelter and tried to retaliate, engaging in a fierce firefight with Zhang Tianyang at a distance of more than ten meters.

Hearing the intense gunfight upstairs, Xiao Yunjie asked anxiously and worriedly, "What is the squad leader doing?"

"He wanted to lure the enemy away," Yan Poyue said with a grave expression.

"Then we have to save him. So many people have come from outside, how can he handle them all by himself? We can't just watch him go to his death," Xiao Yunjie said urgently.

Yan Poyue did not reply immediately, and remained somber for a long while.

He said, suppressing his anger, "The teams watching don't know how many people are here. The squad leader wanted to help us and lure all the enemies away."

If we fire from the roof, everyone will know there are three people here, and all the squad leader's efforts will have been in vain.

This is his intention, and this is the decision he made; we must not let him down.

Xiao Yunjie knew about the squad leader's leg injury, and he also knew the price he would have to pay for forcibly rescuing the squad leader when so many teams had come to help.

And even if I were to be blessed with incredible luck and manage to escape this certain death tonight...

The squad leader's leg injury will also become more serious, and facing the increasingly dangerous and harsh central area, there is absolutely no way he will survive to the end.

But if you're unlucky...

Xiao Yunjie knew the price he would have to pay was that all three of them would be eliminated.

Squad leader Zhang Tianyang took the initiative to go downstairs and single-handedly lured away all the people who had surrounded them, which was indeed the best solution to resolve the crisis at that time.

Faced with this obvious result, Xiao Yunjie ultimately chose to remain silent.

Because their safety was secured by the sacrifice of their squad leader, Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie were both very heavy-hearted and sat down without saying another word.

Hearing the continuous gunshots coming from downstairs, my mood grew increasingly sorrowful.

The battle scene below is indeed quite tragic.

Zhang Tianyang, who went out alone to attract the enemy's attention, successfully drew the attention of three teams by constantly firing his gun from the first floor.

Then they ran and moved further away.

The three surrounding teams were misled into thinking that there were no more enemies upstairs, and that the enemies had been frightened downstairs and were trying to escape into the distance.

They couldn't let the duck that was already in their mouths fly away, so the three teams chased after it with extra fervor.

If Jackie Chan and others saw this scene, they would truly admire Zhang Tianyang's spirit of self-sacrifice, which is one of the fine traditions of our army.

pity.

At this point, only technical personnel remained in the command center, responsible for controlling the drones and surveillance cameras, and recording the footage as data.

Thinking there would be no good show to watch that night, Jackie Chan and the others had already gathered at the kitchen, enjoying a big meal and drinking ice-cold green bottles.

Only Calm, who doesn't like drinking and cares about Lone Wolf, and Lu Tu, who needs to be on duty, are still watching in front of the screen.

"One of them came down to fight while the other two, who weren't injured, stayed upstairs and didn't move. What kind of tactics are they using?" Lu Tu said he couldn't understand.

"Aren't they in the same class? And they occupy advantageous positions, so they shouldn't have been separated normally." Leng Jing was also confused.

Neither of them ever imagined that in a selection competition centered on survival of the fittest, someone would sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.

"Could it be... that they're at odds?" Lu Tu guessed.

"If that's the case, then they're courting death. My Lone Wolf has already lit the fire tonight, and he'll definitely wipe out all the competitors."

With a calm and confident chin held high, he seemed to already see the lone wolf standing proudly alone.

"Eliminating everyone might be a bit difficult. After all, White Wolf is a veteran of the commando team. It won't be so easy for Lone Wolf to defeat him."

Lu Tu chuckled and then changed the subject, saying, "But then again, it would be quite awkward if only the two of them were left in the end."

After all, we need to select six reserve players, and if we only choose two in the end, that leaves quite a few gaps.

"Being eliminated only proves that you are not good enough and are not qualified to join the assault team," he said calmly and arrogantly.

Lu Tu smiled but didn't say anything.

Because that wasn't the answer in his mind. He believed that the remaining players wouldn't be that bad, and that it wouldn't be so easy for Lone Wolf to eliminate everyone.

……

Zhang Tianyang limped as he ran and fought, sweating profusely and panting heavily. He ran several hundred meters before arriving at another building.

The pain in his legs was unbearable, so he had to go inside to take refuge.

The catching-up group followed closely behind, and there were not three people, but six people, the equivalent of two full groups.

It is clear that these two groups have teamed up and formed the largest "gang" under the rules.

Finding one person in a two-story building with six people, all using flashlights and having good visibility, is obviously not a difficult task.

soon.

One of them spotted Zhang Tianyang and called the other five to rush over and corner him on the second floor.

Knowing that he was powerless to change the situation, Zhang Tianyang stopped making futile struggles.

He wisely plopped down on the ground, took off his helmet and rifle and placed them aside. He then took off his ammunition magazines and threw them on the ground, saying, "Don't be so nervous, I can't walk anymore."

None of the six people picked it up, and no one spoke; all six lamps shone on Zhang Tianyang.

"You two came from the same unit, right? You didn't fight amongst yourselves. If you really end up on the battlefield, you can really rely on your comrades. That's great."

Thinking that six people from his own group had also come out, but they had been opposing him at every turn, Zhang Tianyang was filled with envy.

"Are you going to abstain, or should we help you?"

Perhaps seeing the injury on Zhang Tianyang's leg, with a large patch of blood staining the front of his pants, one of the contestants took pity on him and gave him the option to choose.

"No need for you all, I can do it myself."

Having achieved his goal, Zhang Tianyang didn't resort to any underhanded tactics or schemes. He readily turned his hand over and opened the smoke canister.

He also sincerely wished them well, saying, "It's not easy to fight side by side together. I hope you can all join the Cheetah."

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and said, "Give me a hand, I really can't move anymore. If you don't believe me, look, my leg is basically useless."

Zhang Tianyang offered his blessings to show his goodwill, and there was indeed a bleeding wound on his leg.

If a drill results in bleeding, then the injuries are truly severe.

One of the contestants hesitated for a moment, but was eventually moved by Zhang Tianyang's pitiful appearance, so he went over, grabbed Zhang Tianyang's hand, and pulled him up.

"Bang!"

The very next second after he was pulled up, an explosion suddenly occurred where Zhang Tianyang had just sat down.

The six people who had relaxed their vigilance after surrounding them were all caught in the explosion, their smoke canisters all being triggered.

"What happened?"

"What the hell does this mean?"

"Why is it smoking? That shouldn't be happening!"

"There's no one else here, just a discarded corpse, so the explosion shouldn't count, right?"

……

While the contestants were still confused and discussing, Zhang Tianyang, who had looked pitiful just a moment ago, suddenly broke into a smug smile.

He loudly explained to the crowd, "Because you touched my corpse, you triggered the booby trap beneath it, and that's why you're all dead."

"This is what you call a booby trap??"

The contestants were even more confused and angry.

"Yes, that's right, this is a booby trap, you can also call it a human bomb. It's a common tactic in urban warfare, you guys must know it, right?" Zhang Tianyang explained with a smile.

"Damn it, are you trying to scam us?"

"Fuck you, you dare to set us up?"

"Beat him to death, guys, I'm going to fucking kill him."

……

After hearing the explanation, all six contestants were furious. They never expected that their attempt to help him out of pity would result in him setting a trap and getting them all caught in it.

Driven by extreme anger, they couldn't help but clench their fists and rush forward.

He pretended to beat Zhang Tianyang up, but then deflated!

"No, no, no, guys, calm down. There are cameras here. I deliberately chose this spot. Now I'm a corpse. If you hit me, that's against the rules, and you'll get punished when you get back. It's not worth it."

Zhang Tianyang seems honest and upright, but I never expected him to be so adept at swindling people.

When the six contestants who had been tricked heard him shout this, they turned around and saw that there was indeed a camera in the corner. Fearing punishment, they could only suppress their anger and dared not hit anyone.

One of them suddenly realized what was happening and pointed at Zhang Tianyang, cursing, "You bastard, you must be covering for your teammates!"

"You won by trading your life for six of ours, but you're also eliminated. You'll have to pack your things and get out of here, just like us. Was it worth it?"

The other players who were also cheated were furious and couldn't understand Zhang Tianyang's actions.

Sacrifice yourself for the sake of others?

Are there really people this stupid?

"Look at my legs, I really can't hold on any longer. Before I leave, I still want to make a difference and not be eliminated in a pathetic way. I'm so sorry."

Zhang Tianyang smiled sheepishly, his face showing no trace of pride, only sincerity.

The six eliminated contestants looked at their legs. Although they were still very angry, they felt a little sympathy and could only accept their bad luck.

With this group of six eliminated, only one group remained among the surrounding teams.

There were only two players left in the group. They were afraid to chase after Zhang Tianyang, who had six people. They were outnumbered and didn't dare to pursue him.

Thinking that everyone had already left, they took the opportunity to occupy the territory.

So he sneaked down to the first floor, circled around the outside to make sure there was no danger inside, and then prepared to climb in through the window.

Just as the two were climbing through the window with their backs to each other, two gunshots rang out behind them.

"Slap~ Slap~"

The two contestants emitted red smoke.

"Where did the bullet come from? Is there someone else here?"

"Holy crap, how can he see anything in this darkness?"

The two eliminated contestants were completely baffled. They tried to take advantage of the situation but ended up failing miserably, and they started yelling to vent their frustration.
