Chapter Thirty-One: The Ambush Plan

  "It's really too cool, boss is really awesome, this battle was fought too beautifully." Caruso excitedly shouted, facing Xu Ming with a face full of admiration, "Especially the boss's marksmanship, wow, one shot one kill, and specifically aiming for the head."

  Others were also excited, and their gaze towards Xu Ming became extremely respectful.

  "I've said it before." Xu Ming said calmly: "This isn't a battle, just a slaughter. With only twenty or so people fighting, and it's an ambush at that, you're all getting excited like this. How are you going to fight the battles below?"

  Xu Ming tore off a piece of raw meat in his hand and took another bite of the wild mushrooms he had picked, chewing with relish. The water content of the mushrooms was very high, making them easier to swallow.

  They were at least a kilometer away from the ambush point, which was on the edge of the forest. The trees here were relatively sparse and the shrubs were not very dense.

  Three corpses were hanging from the big trees around, which were hung on the trees when they were airdropped from the plane. They were all injured and fainted, and after being interrogated by Kapur, they were beheaded on the spot.

  The corpse remained in a hanging position on the tree, so as not to attract attention from others.

  "This time it's a bit of trouble." Xu Ming ate all the mushrooms around him, and then stuffed the remaining raw meat into his backpack, wiping his mouth and saying: "They are actually terrorist members of the opposition party, and there are about two hundred people. The key is that there is even a leader with high prestige among them."

  "It seems that the one we encountered earlier was just a small leader." Xu Ming continued, "We almost crossed half of the forest and didn't encounter them, and judging from the intelligence brought back by Kapu, they are very likely to be at the water source."

  "Source of water?" The others were somewhat surprised, they didn't know how Xu Ming knew there was a source of water in the forest.

  Xu Ming explained: "When I was at the foot of the mountain, I analyzed that there must be a natural stone pit on the half-mountain waist, which stores a large amount of water source. Otherwise, it is impossible for the vines to grow so vigorously on the stone wall. And finding this place is actually a forest, which further confirms my guess. There must be a water source here, and the specific direction should be in the northeast."

  "According to Kapur's intelligence, the leader nicknamed Lion has planned multiple terrorist attacks and has experience attacking military forces. They must be living a harder life in prison than outside, but once they discover a water source, they will definitely regroup there. I also suspect that most of them are concentrated there."

  "That's great!" Caruso jumped up excitedly, shouting hoarsely, "This is just the time for my heavy machine gun to come out, and with one shot from the heavy machine gun, we can definitely wipe out over a hundred of them."

  Tianpu snorted and said: "You've killed over a hundred of our people, do you think they're all targets for you to shoot at?"

  Xu Ming also said: "You must be the main force, don't worry. I'm not afraid of them coming out to search the mountain, but I'm afraid they'll hide and not come out. However, I think that before nightfall or tomorrow, they will definitely regroup with the intention of resting. After all, their goal is not just us, they may still want to fight another battle with the army."

  "Unbelievable?" Gren said in a surprised tone, "Don't they value their lives?"

  "It's because they want to live." Xu Ming wiped the AWM sniper rifle in his hand, saying lightly: "They naturally also know that they are just our training targets. This is an era where life is cheapest, if it were me, I would make the same choice. Waiting to be killed will only bring death, but if you fight back, there might still be a glimmer of hope."

  "Everyone's had enough to eat, right? Now that you're full, let's get ready to work."

  Xu Ming waved his hand, and everyone immediately stood up, automatically forming a "pin" character queue to explore forward. Along the way, Xu Ming always walked in front, which made others even more respectful of him.

  There is such a commander who leads by example and is not afraid of death. If I were to become his subordinate in the future, even if I die on the battlefield, I would have no regrets. At least I wouldn't die with resentment.

  The bushes and shrubs grew denser, and Xu Ming could distinctly feel the dampness in the air. Suddenly, Xu Ming stopped, raised his hand into a fist, and swung it downwards.

  Everyone crouched down in the grass thicket on the ground, with their weapons pointing forward.

  There was someone trampling through the grass thicket, but the sound seemed to be gradually moving away.

  Xu Ming poked his head out and looked through the sniper rifle, two people appeared in the sight of the sniper rifle, they were laughing and talking, completely unaware that a sniper rifle had already taken aim at them.

  Xu Ming gave Kap a wink, and Kap climbed up a nearby big tree to observe for a while before giving Xu Ming a "safe" gesture.

  "It seems now that the direction is correct, and the water source should not be far from here. The enemies we encountered earlier may have been patrolling or searching, I'm sure their main force is at the water source."

  Xu Ming gathered everyone together, leaving only Kapu on the tree to keep watch, and said with a serious expression: "This is going to be tough, they also know their own advantages and disadvantages, I'm afraid they want to engage in a war of attrition with me."

  "What shall we do?" said Harry from the side: "Shall we sneak up and give them a surprise attack?"

  Others nodded in agreement, feeling that Harry's proposal was good. The enemy is in the light, they are in the dark, and a surprise attack will undoubtedly have a great effect.

  "Surprise attack is necessary," Xu Ming said lightly, "but the risk is great. Once we are surrounded by the enemy, our advantage will be lost and there may even be a danger of total destruction. I think to change the tactic of surprise attack to ambush."

  "Hurry up, Harry, bring out the map you made."

  Everyone was shocked, just now when they were resting, they saw Harry the cat in the corner doing something unknown, could it be that he was making a map there?

  Xu Ming chuckled and said, "Actually, I just found out that Harry is a top student in the Civil Engineering department. Even the most complex engineering blueprints are no problem for him, let alone this small map."

  Harry smiled shyly and said: "There is no tool to assist, the drawing is a bit rough, you can just take a look, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

  Open the map, and it's a topographic map of the places they've explored, with hidden points, high grounds, and shelters marked on it.

  Xu Ming pointed to a place on the map and said, "Everyone still remembers this place, right?"

  Everyone nodded. They were all people who had been screened out through life and death, so their memory would not be very poor. Not to mention that they would never forget what they saw, at least they would have an impression.

  "Judging by our intuition about the forest, this place is not far from our current location. Not an ideal ambush site, but in comparison, it has the highest cost-effectiveness."

  Glen pointed to the map and said, "Boss, this ambush site isn't great. We can't control all the high points around us, and our coverage is extremely limited. If the enemy occupies two of these high points and launches a strong attack, we'll be in danger."

  Early in the morning, the little fish shamelessly asks for votes and collections. Don't worry, the end of the world hasn't arrived yet, and the little fish will continue to fight on and won't stop updating or become too controlling. The little fish guarantees it, so hurry up and throw over your votes and collections! If any friend gives a reward, I'll be even more grateful, hehe!
