Chapter 384 - 384: Bastard Move
“Pu pu…”
The suppressed gunshot from Type 05 rifle rang out rapidly.
In the cover of night, Wang Ye wasn’t blind.
Night vision goggles were quite handy in these conditions. Amidst the dark jungle, he could clearly see what was happening within a hundred meters.
At this moment, as he rushed forward, he spotted someone moving backward in the distance. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and fired a burst.
However, he didn’t hit his target.
The other person reacted swiftly and displayed exceptional tactical movements.
Moreover, right where he had just run past, smoke grenades were deployed, creating a smokescreen.
Not just one, but two of them.
“Fall back!”
Black Cat quietly issued the command through the communication earpiece.
Their approach this time was never about brute force from the start.
Even if he was confident in surviving a head-on confrontation, it was not an option.
Because that was the order from the team leader.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
Moreover, they weren’t afraid of ten thousand things, but rather, they were afraid of unexpected situations.
In case things went south, just in case they messed up, Black Fox would undoubtedly reward them generously.
Utilizing the cover of the smoke, both of them retreated.
They weren’t letting Wang Ye off the hook; they were just making a tactical retreat for now.
After escaping into the jungle, they planned to locate their target using night vision goggles and then strike.
However, they had underestimated the current Wang Ye.
He was not playing it safe and trying to sneak up on them.
The current Wang Ye was only focused on finding cover and then using various tactical movements to rapidly approach the position where Black Cat was retreating.
For Wang Ye, this was actually his best opportunity.
They had separated, and for the moment, it was a one-on-one situation. If he could win this encounter, he might have a chance to take out the other one.
But if he missed this chance and they reunited, his odds of surviving would plummet.
After all, facing a special forces operative alone and facing two of them simultaneously were entirely different scenarios.
In fact, at this moment, Wang Ye still believed that his opponents were equipped with thermal imaging night vision goggles that wouldn’t be affected by their movements.
He didn’t know that the thermal imaging of the other side was just a glorified telescope.
Ambushes were effective, but now that they were on the run, Black Cat had to be extra careful with this precious asset, who had recently joined and was participating in their first real combat.
“Pu pu—”
As Wang Ye ran, he fired his weapon again after circling around the smoke.
He didn’t waste any words shouting for them to stop running.
In TV shows, those who talk too much often meet an early demise.
In situations like this, you didn’t shout warnings; you raised your gun as your first instinct.
A burst of gunfire, seven or eight shots, and once again, it felt like Wang Ye was shooting into emptiness.
While Wang Ye’s marksmanship was impressive, both he and his opponent were moving rapidly through uneven mountainous terrain. Moreover, the opponent was a special forces operative, also using various cover and tactical movements. There was no time for precise aiming; you just raised your gun and fired.
So, in this scenario, hitting the target was actually quite challenging.
“You lunatic!”
Black Cat, hidden behind a large tree, cursed between gasps.
“This guy’s too fast!” At this moment, he heard Bat’s voice in his earpiece.
He was on the other side, but when he saw Wang Ye relentlessly pursuing Black Cat, he naturally decided to lend a hand.
He had been waiting for an opportunity to set up his sniper rifle.
However, Wang Ye barely stopped, and all the various cover points were just places where he changed his tactical movements. Plus, in the jungle, with dense vegetation and uneven terrain, it was not easy.
Right now, all he could do was keep running alongside Wang Ye and wait for an opportunity.
But finding that opportunity was challenging. He had just seen Wang Ye and was preparing to aim his gun when Wang Ye vanished again.
“I’ll blow you up!”
Suddenly, as Black Cat caught his breath behind a large tree and uttered these words, he began scanning the area to find the next cover position to dash to. That’s when he heard Wang Ye’s voice, almost simultaneously, and something landed nearby.
In that moment, he didn’t think too much and instinctively dove to the side.
“Pu pu pu… Click!”
A rapid series of gunshots rang out, emptying the remaining dozen or so rounds from a magazine.
Wang Ye, lying on the ground, didn’t even look at the results.
He immediately rolled in place and crawled down the slope.
In that second, Black Cat’s face turned pale.
He landed with a roll but then came to a sudden stop.
Because he felt it; he was already engulfed in smoke.
However, what made his face even more dreadful was the fact that there had been absolutely no sound from the position of the large tree he had just leaped away from.
Not to mention the sound of a grenade exploding, there wasn’t even the sound of the smoke grenade emitting smoke.
Getting up, Black Cat looked towards the spot where he had been.
A stone that had smashed some small grass and left a small crater in the mountain soil was quite conspicuous.
“You bastard!”
Fists clenched, Black Cat muttered this through gritted teeth, his face turning even paler.
“Black Cat… Black Cat!”
There were voices in his earpiece, but Black Cat remained silent.
There was no need to speak.
Having an open microphone without saying anything had its own message.
“Fuck!”
In the earpiece, Bat cursed.
The next moment, he simply threw the sniper rifle aside.
With a swift movement, he pulled out his handgun.
He didn’t intend to run. The thermal imaging device was in Black Cat’s hands, and if he ran, there was a risk of the reconnaissance troops getting hold of the night vision goggles later. He couldn’t bear to think about the consequences.
It was either go retrieve the device from the corpse or face Wang Ye head-on.
A direct confrontation.
“Click!”
On Wang Ye’s side, the sound of a magazine being replaced appeared.
Hidden behind the slope, Wang Ye quickly manipulated the bolt.
It was quite evident that he was smiling with a grin on his face.
Another one down..
