Chapter 204: Chapter 203: Some Warmth, Meeting Too Late (13) Chapter 204: Chapter 203: Some Warmth, Meeting Too Late (13) Deep within the primeval jungle.
A squad, armed to the teeth, moved carefully through the bushes, an eerie silence surrounding them.
Tang Zelin crouched down at a certain spot and whispered to War Wolf Captain Yao Ke.
âGrey Wolf, somethingâs off here.â
Yao Ke, gripping his heavy gun, observed his surroundings with eagle eyes. On hearing this, he responded in a low voice, âBlood Wolf, I feel the same. All units, hold positions, stay hidden, over.â
In an instant, team members vanished from sight.
In the woods, the wind rustled the leaves with a whooshing sound, creating an atmosphere heavy with tension. The scent of danger was all around yet there was no trace of the enemy to be found, which was indeed strange.
Tang Zelin lay on the ground, his eyes fixed on the scope, trying to detect any faint trace of the enemy from a distance.
Yao Ke asked, âBlood Wolf, any shadows?â
âNothing yet, over.â Tang Zelin replied.
âThe vibe is off here, over.â a team member remarked.
âLittle Huihui, you felt it too? Yo, not bad.â another comrade teased.
âBig Tail Wolf, donât admire me too much. Iâll teach you later, over.â Gray Wolf shot back.
âTsk tsk, giving you a skill, Grey Wolf, I request to bunk with Little Huihui, over.â Big Tail Wolf, eyeing the dense forest to the left front, joked.
Yao Ke asked, âBlood Wolf, what do you make of it?â
âYour subject requests to report! Over.â A shadow flickered in the sniperâs scope, and Tang Zelin squinted, searching carefully.
âThanks for your imperial favor~ over.â Big Tail Wolf chuckled softly.
Then, a curse, âFuck!â
âWhatâs going on, Little Huihui?â Grey Wolf Yao Ke inquired.
Gray Wolf replied, âSomethingâs up at our two oâclock, over.â
Whoosh!
Several gun muzzles instantly aimed toward the two oâclock direction, while others kept a vigilant 360-degree watch to the rear.
Tang Zelin turned his head to look in the direction of the target, and when an image appeared in the scope, he praised Little Huihui, âWell done, Little Huihui, over.â
As a fellow sniper in the team and a new recruit recently promoted to Soldier King, Gray Wolf looked up to Tang Zelin, an ancient deity in his eyes. In the Special Combat Brigade, many record holders were big names just like him.
The moment Little Huihui was praised by his idol, he couldnât hide his joy.
Big Tail Wolf chuckled lowly, âBlood Wolf, donât praise him too much, heâll be too pleased to find his way back, over.â
âFuck off,â Little Huihui cursed, then turned his head, flattering for more praise, âBlood Wolf, your praise is the motivation for me to move forward, thank you, over.â
In the scope, the silhouette of a person, as small as a soybean, gradually became clear.
Tang Zelinâs eyes were narrowed, his gaze sharp, but as the image became clearer, his expression darkened.
If someone could see his eyes at that moment, they would have been frightened by the chilling, blood-curdling look in them.
âBlood Wolf?â
âAll clear, itâs not the bugs, over.â
âYou donât look so good, Blood Wolf,â Yao Ke expressed concern.
No sooner had his words fallen than a retching sound came through the headset.
Yao Ke frowned, âWho is it?â
âGrey Wolf, Little Huihuiâs got a situation, over.â Big Tail Wolf reported urgently from beside Gray Wolf.
âLittle Huihui, whatâs going on? Over.â
âHoly shit, they⊠theyâre eating people,â Gray Wolf said, his breathing unsteady.
As he finished speaking, a deathly silence fell over the headset.
Tang Zelin frowned, the scene in the scope far too horrific, having moved beyond the scope of their mission.
