Chapter 28: A Great Disparity in Strength (Second Update)

  Everyone who heard Xu Ming's words fell silent, and they probably guessed the purpose of the base. What Xu Ming said was right, soldiers without combat training on the battlefield only have death. Perhaps they are even more special, not even waiting to enter the battlefield, they will be eliminated.

  At this time, Caruso didn't say anything either, and ran to his previous position to pick up the shell casings. He knew that Xu Ming was right, picking up shell casings was more important to make himself understand how many bullets he had "wasted".

  Xu Ming was much faster, his sniper rifle had fired less than ten shots, and the shell casings were easier to find. While others were erasing the marks of battle, he had already cut down a 'flower' leopard's abdominal 'meat', and packed it into his backpack.

  Just as everyone was still busy, a loud rumble suddenly sounded in the sky, and everyone subconsciously froze.

  "It's an air raid! What are you all stunned for? Find a shelter and take cover!"

  Xu Ming let out a loud roar and rushed to the nearest Kapu, hugging her as they both fell to the ground. The others heard Xu Ming's shout and scrambled to find cover, falling to the ground in disarray. In the chaos, Maya didn't notice that Xu Ming had fallen on top of Kapu, or else she would have been jealous for sure.

  The roar of the plane continued, but there was no explosion. Xu Ming felt something was wrong and lowered his head to shout at Kapu, only to see Kapu's face flushed red, his eyes almost burning with intensity as he stared at him.

  Xu Ming only then noticed that one of his hands was tightly grasping a lump of exceptionally soft stuff, and the tactile sensation was really not bad.

  Cough... Xu Ming awkwardly withdrew his hand and weakly said: "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

  "Hmm! I'll settle the score with you later!" Kapu threatened. He glanced at him and then looked up at the sky, saying: "It doesn't seem like a bombing, I'm very familiar with the sound of bombers, this isn't one."

  "I know you can climb trees and have good eyesight." Xu Ming chuckled and said with a slightly embarrassed tone, "So, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Miss Kap again."

  Kapu snorted and said, "Hmph, you ate someone else's tofu and then dragged them into doing hard labor."

  Xu Ming: "......"

  This sounds so awkward... uh... isn't it... so ambiguous?

  Karp reluctantly climbed up a big tree beside, it has to be said that Karp's skills were very good, when he was practicing with the instructor, Karp was the one who got hurt the least. If Xu Ming's counterattack ability was the strongest at that time, then Karp must have been the strongest in close combat.

  The big tree is about twenty meters high, don't know what kind of species it is. It grows straight like a poplar tree, but the branches are not few. Kapu easily climbed to the middle of the tree because there was an airplane circling above, and the airflow brought by the plane made all the trees on the half mountain slope sway back and forth, so Kapu didn't dare climb higher.

  Even at half mast, the view is still quite clear, and you can see the situation in the sky clearly.

  Xu Ming took the opportunity to gather everyone together, letting them quickly replenish their ammunition, check their equipment, and sweep the battlefield. He distributed the leopard's abdominal meat from his backpack to each person, a piece at a time. The abdominal meat was the tenderest part of the leopard's body, which could be barely chewed without roasting over fire.

  After finishing all this, he didn't idle around, helping everyone deal with the aftermath of the battlefield, waiting for Karp's scouting results.

  Before long, Kapu slid down from the tree and ran to Xu Ming's side. Her face was very pale, obviously not bringing good news.

  "Take a good look, it's a transport plane. This kind of plane has no combat capability, but it can carry a lot of things." Kapu took a breath and continued: "They are conducting an airdrop."

  "What? Supplies?" Caruso chimed in from beside him.

  "Hmmph," Harry snorted, "You're dreaming if you think that's going to be something good."

  Karp said: "Of course it's not things, but people."

  "What?!" Almost everyone's face changed color, looking at Xu Ming with a terrified expression. What on earth happened?! Oh my god! Are they going to dispatch troops now?!

  Xu Ming signaled everyone to be quiet and said, "It can't be a troop, right?"

  "No," Kap replied, "it's a group of shabbily dressed people, each one thinner than the last, definitely not military personnel, but they all have weapons in their hands, all sorts of weapons."

  "About how many people?" Xu Ming asked in a low voice.

  Karp shook his head and said, "I didn't count, nor did I have time to count. They were all like being pushed out of the plane, just like dumplings, too many to count, at least over a hundred people."

  Xu Ming nodded and said, "It seems that this is a real battle. At this time, it's already close to the end of lunchtime, but the lieutenant colonel had people airdrop a batch of prisoners with weapons, obviously changing the plan."

  "This is good." Xu Ming glanced at others and said lightly: "We need actual combat."

  "There were at least over a hundred of them according to Kappe's calculations, which means that their military strength was ten times ours, or even more, this terrifying disparity."

  Everyone's face was a sheet of iron, and Grenn was already trembling slightly.

  Xu Ming smiled and said: "It's them who should be afraid, not us. What are you worried about?"

  Twelve pairs of eyes stared at Xu Ming, all filled with doubt.

  "They were thrown down from the plane, falling from such a high altitude, how many could survive? At most, we might have been picking up dead fish. Moreover, the disparity between us was too great, our equipment was 'fine', ammunition was 'full', and we had received multiple extreme training, the key is that we were special forces, we had fighting skills that others couldn't match."

  "And what about them? A motley crew, the weapons in their hands might not even fire, they have no equipment, they are convicts, definitely untrained, skinny to the bone, I'm even wondering if they can shoot."

  Other people's faces have obviously improved, and their complexion has also become much more relaxed.

  "So, in my view, this is not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre. The threat they pose to us is not even comparable to that of these leopards."

  "Gentlemen, ladies, I ask you, are you interested in participating in this massacre?"

  Everyone burst out laughing, the tension from earlier was gone, replaced by a sense of relaxation. Especially Kap, whose charming big eyes were fixed on Xu Ming, shining brightly.

  "Here, I want to remind everyone that we can despise the enemy strategically, but tactically, we must take the enemy seriously. Do not underestimate any enemy, including those who have already fallen. If you underestimate them, perhaps it will be you who falls next. The only thing you can trust is the gun in your hand."

  What a coincidence, Xu Ming also had an extremely tragic experience of picking up dead fish. When he was swinging his dagger and running to the front of a dead fish that didn't react at all in nine rounds, the dead fish suddenly became a live fish and shot him in the head with one bullet.

  This experience always reminds Xu Ming that at any time, don't take a dead fish as a dead fish. Only when it is really shot down by oneself can it be called a dead fish.

  Xu Ming was pulled back from his memories and said: "Now I'll make tactical arrangements."

  The second update has been delivered! Little Fish is once again shamelessly begging for various things! Thank you everyone! Little Fish kneels down to thank everyone for their support! Thanks again!
