Afterward, Wang Ye rushed over to where Bat and black cat were.
Bat didn’t have a single piece left on him. Wang Ye searched his body and the backpack he had left on the road, but found nothing. As for Owl, there was one piece inside the backpack.
Wang Ye didn’t know their exact situation.
However, there were a total of five spare batteries, plus some electricity inside the thermal imager. Wang Ye was satisfied with that.
On his way back, after exchanging greetings with Jiang Nan and the others, Wang Ye picked up his backpack and retraced his steps.
“Oh!”
On Black Cat’s side, he watched as Wang Ye disappeared, his face filled with a strong bitterness.
This trip back, the three of them were definitely in trouble.
Three special forces against one, and they were still caught off guard by a one-man ambush. Moreover, all their little tricks were in vain.
Earlier, he had hidden the thermal imager, actually anticipating the possibility of being discovered. So he hadn’t turned on the power.
He had thought that if Wang Ye had been a bit careless and hadn’t taken Batteries and had just run, the thermal imager wouldn’t have lasted long and would have given others more opportunities to take down Wang Ye.
But now, Wang Ye had realized that this thing required power, and all Batteries had been confiscated.
This was a difficult situation!
“Wang Ye, is that the one who broke the four hundred meters record in the war zone?” In the exercise department, the staff officer, watching Wang Ye cautiously making his way back through the jungle, asked the plump-looking captain next to him, thinking about the name Jiang Nan had just called out.
“Hehe, yes!” The staff officer responded with a smile, and then added, “Don’t get any funny ideas. Black Fox invited him before, but he didn’t want to become a special forces soldier. Besides, he’s going to military school next year, so put away those thoughts!”
H H
The captain was speechless.
He turned around silently and then turned away completely.
He needed to go outside for a smoke, even though he could smoke inside the tent.
But he didn’t want to stay with this guy right now.
Frustrating…
“Hehe~” The staff officer watched the captain leave, but he didn’t follow.
Normally, with his temperament, he would have shown off in front of his old comrade, who was tougher and better at everything, but now he couldn’t take his eyes off Wang Ye’s screen in the video.
In fact, he had requested to have Wang Ye’s point of view fixed on the big screen.
He couldn’t bear to let what he had already marked as a reconnaissance battalion trophy in his heart go out of his sight!
“All units, report your status!”
In the jungle, Black Fox was sitting against a tree at this moment. After pressing a button on his earpiece, he began to wait.
Soon, there were responses through the earpiece.
“Firebird reporting, we’ve currently spotted four prey animals, captured three of them, and one is still on the run. We are in pursuit!”
“Black Bear reporting…”
Special forces soldiers, as compared to reconnaissance soldiers, had more than just thermal imagers in terms of equipment.
Apart from firearms, even their individual radio communication devices were different.
While reconnaissance soldiers now also had individual communication earpieces, these devices could only guarantee communication within a range of about 1,500 meters in open terrain.
In mountainous and jungle areas, the communication distance was even more limited, mostly suitable for close-range squad-level operations.
But the communication devices used by the special forces soldiers were connected to their helmets, which had additional capabilities.
They were at the forefront of individual digital and information warfare. Their communication devices could actually establish self-forming networks, using the latest drones, helicopters, and even direct satellite networks for long-distance communication.
Don’t underestimate this capability.
Being able to communicate globally, share information, had a significant impact in combat operations.
“Mountain Cat reporting…”
One by one, the team leaders with communication privileges from their respective squads replied.
Black Cat initially had a smile on his lips.
Although many squads hadn’t achieved results yet, the time was short, and the most important thing was that none of his soldiers were injured or killed.
However, as time passed and there was no more sound coming through the earpiece, his expression changed.
“Black Cat… Where are you, Black Cat?”
A special forces platoon leader knew exactly who was in his squad, how many squads were on this mission, who was the leader of each squad, he remembered it all clearly.
But now, with the last report completed, Black Cat was missing, and there was still no sound.
He raised his hand and looked at the small touchscreen computer on his wrist.
His complexion immediately became even more grim.
He saw it, Black Cat was on the communication list, and he had successfully brought him into this channel.
But there was no response.
There was only one explanation.
Black Cat wasn’t absent; he couldn’t speak.
This situation had been discussed before they set out.
If someone was killed, they would respect the rules of the exercise.
The next moment, he directly manipulated the handheld computer, mobilizing permissions and bringing the other two members of Black Cat squad into the channel.
“Bat, Owl, respond if you hear me, respond if you hear me!”
No one answered!
In fact, at this moment in the jungle, the three members of Black Cat squad had gathered together.
Their faces were all very grim because they had heard Black Fox’s words, but out of respect for the exercise rules, they couldn’t make a sound.
Well… they actually didn’t have the courage or the face to speak.
One against three, and they had been played!
If they responded now, Black Fox might ask them where they were and come over to finish them off…
“Could it be that all three members of Black Cat squad are gone? Captain, is there a signal problem on their end?”
In the communication channel, someone couldn’t help but voice this concern.
“It’s possible, this thing hasn’t been used for long, it’s an experimental product, and nobody can say for sure!” Another person chimed in.
However, Black Fox remained silent, his face darkening.
He couldn’t comfort himself with these self-deceptive words.
This place wasn’t a truly remote area of poverty and danger, and besides, everyone else was fine, so why would it be only their squad with problems?
“Search, pick up the pace, and make sure to find the team that took them out. Also, everyone, be careful. If the other side wiped out the entire Black Fox team, the thermal imager might have fallen into the enemy’s hands. Don’t be caught off guard!”
“Yes!”
Inside the communication channel, the others didn’t dare to say much and responded one by one.
The communication ended.
Black Fox looked up at the sky; their current location was somewhat elevated.
At that moment, he saw it—there seemed to be a helicopter flying in from a distance.
Watching the helicopter hover at a certain location, the next moment, he once again manipulated his handheld computer and brought all the team leaders into the channel.
“Hurry, all squads that can see the helicopter in the sky, move in the direction of the helicopter’s hover!”
He had a feeling that the helicopter was here to pick up Black Fox’s team.
Although there was no evidence, it was an old fox’s intuition, and he had confidence in his own instincts..
