Chapter 455 - 455 454 Always Ready for Battle

Chapter 455: Chapter 454 Always Ready for Battle Chapter 455: Chapter 454 Always Ready for Battle Through the binoculars, the distant village wasn’t large, appearing to have about a dozen households. Nearly every house had a small fenced vegetable garden in front of it.

Now, both the houses and the land were overgrown with weeds.

The cold wind had a desolate look, yet there was a vaguely dangerous aura hidden within it.

“Group captain, I’ll probe ahead,” Wang Meng requested.

Tang Zelin said, “Be careful.”

“Don’t worry, I’m off.”

Wang Meng carried his gun and carefully skirted around from the back, then stealthily advanced, reaching the middle. With a nimble leap, he flipped onto an inconspicuous spot and lay there, lifting his binoculars to scrutinize the situation ahead.

Time elapsed, second by second.

Just as Wang Meng felt that there was nothing unusual and was about to return, a head suddenly peeked out quietly from below a window in his binoculars.

Wang Meng immediately tensed up, intently watching the other’s movements and timely signaling “There is a situation” to the people behind him.

Tang Zelin stood up and moved to the side of a wall without windows, setting up the binoculars in front of him, first checking on Wang Meng ahead.

Then, following the direction Wang Meng was looking, he adjusted the lens.

His brows slightly knit together, there indeed was a situation.

At first, there was a head scouting for any unusual activity around; soon after, probably when the other side felt there was no movement outside,

they simply pulled back their head and boldly walked out through the main entrance.

Carrying a Type 95 automatic rifle, the sight of that gun immediately darkened Tang Zelin’s eyes.

This was a piece of active military equipment, yet it was in the hands of someone who clearly wasn’t a soldier. The reason for this, he hazarded a guess, was unsettling.

Tang Zelin whispered a warning to Wang Meng up front, “The opponent has standard-issue weapons. Don’t act rashly; first, clarify the situation.”

Lying in the front conducting covert reconnaissance, Wang Meng heard the voice from his handset and softly acknowledged it.

The danger from the other side was becoming apparent, Su Shu stood up and walked next to Tang Zelin, cautiously peering outside.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt as if her eyesight was getting better, although she could not see the weapons on the opponents that Tang Zelin and Zhang Dongke were discussing.

However, she could see the moving figures there.

“If the other side has guns, does that mean this place is also a base?” she asked.

Tang Zelin pressed her head down, “Be careful, don’t expose yourself.”

He was mainly worried about her safety.

“Understood.”

Zhang Dongke observed the front, “Group captain, three people have already come out, all equipped with military weapons. Where do you think they got these weapons from? They didn’t really rob an armory, did they?”

Tang Zelin squinted his eyes, “Not necessarily, It’s also possible that they obtained these by dealing with the military. Let’s wait and see; keep a close eye on their numbers. With shifty eyes, this place can’t be clean. Alert the soldiers to be ready for battle at any moment.”

“Yes!”

The whole team entered combat readiness, including Su Shu.

With a gun in hand, they were ready to join the fray at any moment.

But Su Shu still had her worries; with the looming danger, the odds were not favourable.

“Tang Zelin, be careful.”

“Sure,” he responded without turning to the woman behind him.

It wasn’t long before Wang Meng, who was responsible for reconnaissance, returned. As soon as he did, his face looked somewhat grim.

“Report to the group captain, enemy spotted ahead. Currently, six targets are exposed, three came out of a house and three others remain inside, each in a separate house.”
