Chapter 132 Killing before dawn
It was impossible to start a fight. At this time, if Ji Feng and the others brought them along, then it would undoubtedly cause the Red Arrow Squadron's fighting strength to drop significantly as well. Moreover, the opponents had tens of people, so it would not be easy to charge out.
Therefore, Ji Feng gritted his teeth. Since that was the case, he might as well take advantage of the fact that Zhao Yongzhan and the rest had yet to fall into the enemy's hands and kill all those people surrounding the Special Forces silently!
Even if they couldn't get rid of all of them, they had to at least reduce their fighting strength by half. This way, once the two sides started fighting, the Red Arrow Squadron wouldn't be suppressed by their enemies' firepower.
What he needed to do now was to race against time. He had to get rid of as many enemies as possible before the sky brightened.
Actually, it wasn't just a race against time, it was also a race against the opponent's warning time.
Liu Xin retrieved a communication device from the body of the first person who was killed. Presumably, the voice that Ji Feng had just heard was that fellow reporting the situation to his superior. However, he hadn't discovered Ji Feng and the others at that time.
This fact was confirmed by Liu Xin's interrogation.
It was also because of this that Ji Feng and the others grew even more anxious, and their footsteps became even faster. Although they had just been alerted, they didn't have much time because they had to report every twenty minutes. It could be said that they were heavily guarded.
In the next report, Ji Feng and the others weren't sure if they could get past the obstacle, so they wanted to get rid of as many enemies as possible in the next twenty minutes.
Time pa.s.sed second by second, Ji Feng and the others circled the island, quickly pa.s.sing through the forest. Under the effect of the bioelectric current, Ji Feng continued to pull out the hidden sentries in the dark forest, as if it was daytime. After interrogating three or four sentries, he found that there was no difference from the first sentry's words.
Twenty minutes pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Gu Chao and the others had already expended much of their stamina. This kind of hasty march was extremely difficult, especially in the dense forest. One had to be on guard against any traps or sentries.
"Sir, reporting time is up …" Liu Xin said in a low voice.
Ji Feng waved his hand, and Liu Xin understood immediately. He immediately distanced himself from the others who were fluent in the languages of other countries, and reported the information according to the previous interrogation.
However, what surprised Ji Feng was that Ji Shaoyun was among the few people who were proficient in the languages of other countries.
"This kid has really grown up." Ji Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. No wonder he was sent here as well. It seemed that he had truly learnt a whole set of skills in the Red Arrow Squadron.
After the report, everyone waited anxiously. They were afraid that something bad would happen to the other party. If that happened, they would be able to kill their way out. However, there was no way out for them now …
Pow!
The communication device had been disconnected, causing Gu Chao and the others to immediately reveal a look of joy. This was the successful outcome of the report, according to the previous report, the other end of the communication device would be broken after the report. That was why they didn't know anything else, but the higher-ups knew about their situation.
"Continue!" Ji Feng suddenly waved his hand. They had gained another twenty minutes!
Next, they killed a few more of the sentries. After which, Ji Feng gave the order and proceeded deeper into the island. They could no longer stare at the sentries and attack them.
On one hand, Ji Feng and the others only had sixteen people. Including Ji Feng, there were a few people who were not proficient in his language, so if he killed too many of his guards, his secret information would be exposed.
On the other hand, these hidden guards were only responsible for guarding and not attacking. Previously, when they had taken down the hidden guards, they had wanted to eliminate the potential threat and at the same time clear the way forward.
Now, they had to start moving deeper in.
Fortunately, the island was filled with dense forests, and dawn had arrived. Due to the dense forest and trees blocking the way, the inside of the island was also shrouded in darkness, and the lighting was poor. It was almost no different from night time.
Weng weng weng! *
Suddenly, Gu Chao's waist shook a few times. He immediately took out something that looked like a phone, lowered his head and looked around. After that, he made a series of hand gestures.
Ji Feng immediately understood that there was danger a few hundred meters ahead.
Ji Feng had seen this item in Gu Chao's hands during his first operation against Western Xia.
This was a heat detector. It set the standard to be the most sensitive to human body temperature. As long as there was a heat that did not come within the set range, the device would issue a warning.
When they were about to approach, Ji Feng finally saw the scene in front of him. There were five or six people who were willing to eat something, and this group of people were wearing green camouflage clothes. Moreover, their appearances were very similar to those of the other hidden guards.
Ji Feng waved his hand. Ji Shaoyun, Liu Xin, and the others immediately followed behind him.
At this moment, the few people were sitting on the ground eating. They occasionally used the leaves to scoop up some water and poured it into their mouths. This was probably dew that had been stored during the night.
While they were eating, they clearly didn't expect that an enemy would appear so suddenly. Thus, when Liu Xin, Ji Shaoyun, and the others suddenly rushed out, they still weren't able to pick up the weapons by their sides.
Kcha! * Kcha! * Kcha …
After a series of crisp sounds, these people all became lifeless corpses and were dragged away to hide.
At this time, Ji Feng had also captured a fellow from the side. He used a biological electric current to strike that fellow's body, causing him to instantly lose all combat strength. His entire body began to twitch.
"Interrogate!" Ji Feng whispered.
It was still Liu Xin who was in charge of the interrogation, while Ji Feng and the rest were on guard at the side. This time, there was no need for Ji Feng to torture them with his biological electric current, because he did not show them any mercy. If not for the fact that he wanted to keep them alive, they would have already turned him into a corpse.
The results of Liu Xin's interrogation were quite satisfactory. From this unlucky fellow's mouth, they knew that the other party had three gathering points, a total of around twenty people.
"Kill them!" Ji Feng said without the slightest hesitation.
Gu Chao immediately nodded his head. After dealing with that guy, they carefully walked forward.
Ji Feng thought for a moment, then said: "We will split into two. I will lead you along a path. Gu Chao, you lead me along a path. Keep in touch!"
Gu Chao immediately nodded his head, "Yes!"
Out of the group of sixteen, Ji Feng and Gu Chao led seven of them towards the meeting point. Ji Shaoyun and Liu Xin remained by Ji Feng's side, Gu Chao and the rest.
This was an extremely dangerous rescue operation because the target had no way of resisting, and the enemy was too numerous, so Ji Feng had to hold back. And in the dense forest, the heat detector clearly played an extremely important role. At least this way, Gu Chao could accurately determine the opponent's position in the forest.
Of course, there was no need for Ji Feng and the others. He could clearly see the other party in the dark, needless to say, the sky had already brightened up.
Afterwards, the three gathering points were all successfully pulled out. When the last gathering point was pulled out, Ji Feng and Gu Chao met again, but they didn't have any conversations. They only made some hand signals from afar, then separated and headed towards the depths of the forest.
However, what made Ji Feng's mood even worse was that after he pulled out the second a.s.sembly point, a transfigured person had finally appeared!
Even though it was only the most ordinary of transformers, perhaps it couldn't even compare to the King Kong Wolf that he had met before, it was still a transformers after all. In terms of physique, it was definitely much stronger than normal people. Even if the Special Forces and the Red Arrow Squadron had already started their exercises, they might not be able to confront the Modifier head on for a short period of time.
The appearance of the remodeled person had cast a shadow over Ji Feng's heart.
That was because, other than the people present, Yong Zhan and the others had also been poisoned. With their experience, they had never seen such a dangerous environment before. How could they possibly be poisoned?
There was only one explanation, and that was that there was an even more powerful person who had partic.i.p.ated in the attack. Only then did they all get hit.
Then who was the more powerful one? Now that he thought about it, either it was a higher level reformer or … A traitor!
When he thought of these two possibilities, Ji Feng's mood turned even worse. Regardless of whether it was a higher level Human Transformation or a spy, they were not easy to deal with. At the very least, they would not be as easy to deal with as the ordinary warriors.
Moreover, the appearance of the transformers had also proved that this matter was definitely related to the dynasty!
"d.a.m.n it!" Killing intent surged in Ji Feng's heart, but at the same time, he felt a little worried. "I wonder how Yong Zhan and the rest are doing now..."
… ….
At the deepest part of the island, in a very hidden cave, a dozen or so people were hiding in it. These people were the warriors of Everlasting Battlefield and the Special Forces under his command. Of course, the white spider was also here, standing guard beside the Eternal War.
Some of them even turned black and were in a trance, unable to muster up any strength from their bodies, just like Eternal War. Their lips were all dried up and their eyes were bloodshot, as if they could die at any moment.
In the entire cave, other than the tiniest sounds of breathing, there was no other sound.
