Chapter 69: Seeing Through the Ambush

  "Cigarettes, cigarettes, who wants cigarettes?" The small vendor was listlessly calling out from the window of his small shop. Passersby on the street were sparse and scattered, and business was not good for any of the shops on the entire street.

  The vendor, who was feeling extremely bored, yawned and suddenly a vegetable peddler carrying a pole walked over. The vendor's spirit shook and he hailed the peddler.

  "Boss, shall we include cigarettes?"

  The vegetable vendor stopped and pointed at the pack of cigarettes on the counter, saying: "How much for this pack of Kool?"

  "Fifty bucks." The vendor responded with a grunt, then lowered his voice and asked, "How about it?"

  The vegetable vendor looked around and lowered his voice, saying: "The troops surrounding the villa have all been deployed, it seems that the cannon fodder sent by the superior has already played a role in luring the enemy. There are less than two hundred people left to guard the military defense zone, but soon after the troops were deployed, about 100 or so people entered the villa."

  The little vendor nodded and said, "As expected, when one becomes a traitor, they must have the awareness of being a traitor. He will definitely ask these terrorists to send more troops to protect him. Have you inquired about the origin of that hundred or so people?"

  The vegetable vendor said: "It must be the people from the Special Operations Unit, their Special Operations Unit is also shameless to call itself special operations, they are all a bunch of rookies, no, not even worthy of being called rookies."

  "But just now, I saw a security squad from the municipal government mobilizing over there. I reckon they'll be joining in on the defense too. This number of people we're not afraid of, but what's worth noting is that there's a reconnaissance sniper team within that security squad. And look, they've even got more than a dozen large wolf dogs, truly leaving no stone unturned in their defenses."

  The little vendor nodded and asked again: "Is there any movement on the side of the earth fox?"

  The vegetable vendor replied: "I went to take a look and everything is fine, it's going smoothly."

  "Hurry them up, time waits for no man. That group of cannon fodder won't last much longer, and we don't have much time left. I've already had our insider leak some information to them, hoping their commander isn't too stupid."

  The vegetable vendor was taken aback and said with a serious face: "This isn't right, if the general finds out, we'll be violating regulations."

  The little vendor said faintly: "We're all our own people, although we're cannon fodder. Whether they live or die is up to fate. Since I know about it, I'll do my best to help. I have my reasons for doing this, hurry and leave, don't let others suspect."

  He handed a pack of cigarettes to the vegetable vendor, who looked around again and hastily left.

  "I'm almost certain that if we go any further forward, we'll likely be ambushed." Xu Ming said unclearly while chewing on compressed biscuits.

  Others were stunned and looked around.

  Xu Ming suppressed his voice and shouted: "Don't look around! Just look at those few small birds in the sky!"

  Others pretended to glance up at the sky unintentionally, a few small birds circling in the air on the mountain slope without landing. And on the mountain slope, there was a tall tree, and it seemed that there was a bird's nest on the tree that could be vaguely seen.

  "The birds don't return to their nests, it seems there are still many people. Xu Ming took a sip of water and said casually, 'If we go in, they may use heavy armor to block the road, and then we'll really have no way out, nowhere to hide.'"

  "This is impossible." The wing wolf's face suddenly turned pale, muttering to himself, "Our actions are top secret, even our route of advance is top secret, how could they possibly know that we're taking this road?"

  Xu Ming glanced at him and said lightly, "Can't you see? We've been sold out, and thoroughly so. Yesterday, Jinpu told me that we received a doubly encrypted telegram. The telegram seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary, just the general's urging, but it was very suspicious, indirectly revealing some of our information."

  "Zammat is an old hand at the intelligence system, traditional double-layer encrypted telegrams are like not encrypted at all in his hands, it's clear that they were meant for Zammat to see, we've become cannon fodder."

  Xu Ming exposed a little of the reverse temperature test instrument on his wrist, turned his head to ask Wing Wolf and others: "Do you have such a thing?"

  Wing Wolf, Little Orange and Exploding Bear all nodded at the same time, saying: "Yes, it's a reverse temperature tester."

  "Don't you know this thing has other uses?" Xu Ming asked in surprise.

  The three of them nodded blankly, their faces filled with confusion.

  Xu Ming also said: "When you wear this thing, has anyone told you anything?"

  Yī Láng hastily nodded and said: "Yes, this thing is very important. Unless it's a matter of life and death, we absolutely cannot take this thing off."

  Xu Ming nodded and said, "That's right. Now I'm telling you that this reverse temperature test instrument contains a radar positioning tracker and a miniature temperature sensing bomb. This bomb can be called a nuclear bomb. As long as the temperature fluctuation exceeds the critical point of ten degrees Celsius, an explosion will occur."

  "In other words, as soon as you take it off, it will explode. Or after you die, an explosion will also occur."

  The three people's faces turned pale at the same time, and it was clear that they were completely unaware of this.

  Xu Ming looked into the eyes of the three of them, saying word by word: "I can now be sure that we have become cannon fodder. You honestly tell me, who is the general in charge of monitoring us?"

  As soon as the words fell, a hint of unnaturalness flashed in the eyes of all three people.

  "It seems that you all have the same mission." Xu Ming didn't feel any surprise at all, and said lightly: "That's right, if I were in your shoes, I would do the same. Otherwise, how could you be willing to be cannon fodder?"

  "You're so sure our cannon fodder is reliable?" Wing Wolf said in a low voice, "A few flying birds can't explain the problem. Maybe there are ferocious beasts under the big tree that dare not return to their nests. The reverse thermometer test instrument is uniformly worn by those who participate in the assassination action, this is the rule."

  Xu Ming nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. No one would believe each other in just a few words."

  At this time, Kapu walked over, she smiled slightly at Xu Ming, with several black-headed cobras wrapped around her wrists. The venomous snakes and the beautiful woman formed a strong contrast, causing Wing Wolf and Explosive Bear to tremble in their hearts. Suddenly, they only had one thought left - this woman was not someone to be trifled with.

  "Our teammate Kapur, codename Mandrake. I forgot to introduce her the other day. She's not only my spotter but also skilled in using poison, especially good at driving out snakes."

  The heads of Winged Wolf and Exploding Bear nodded in unison, they had figured it out. Only Xiao Chengzi's eyes shone with an excited glint, doctors liked poisonous things.

  "Kap, let these little snakes scout ahead for us first. It's still quite far away, I don't know if it'll work," Xu Ming said to Kap.

  Kap laughed and said, "It's okay, this distance is already beyond my control range, but they are the poisonous snakes I just found, with strong aggression. Even without my control, once they reach that side, as long as there is someone, they will attack."

  Seeking recommendations for collection, Little Fish is speechless, this score is about to make my eyes wide open, alas, it's really forcing Little Fish to finish the book early and dig a new pit.
