Chapter 72: Death Jungle (Part 2)

  Half an hour later, Zhang Hang's fifth squad took the lead, already twenty meters ahead of the first squad behind.

  Zhang Hang held a string of mother-child linked thunderbolts in his hand and brought his team members to a new thunder area.

  Just now, Zhang Hang removed a cluster of five landmines connected in a daisy chain. On the fifth landmine, there was even a detonation wire tied to it. Zhang Hang had lost interest and directly cut off this detonation wire. He picked up the string of daisy-chained mines and left, if he had time, Zhang Hang really wanted to see what else was connected to this detonation wire.

  This was a strange forest area, with bottles and cans and all sorts of "trash" scattered all over the ground, making it almost impossible to take a step. They stood there stupidly in front of the forest, cold sweat dripping down their backs. Their eyes were fixed on Zhang Hang without exception, waiting for the captain's decision.

  Special forces know that these are various landmines made from everyday items, and these seemingly worthless bottles and cans actually conceal deadly intentions. Each of them can make these special landmines.

  Now they can't tell what's true or false, nor do they have time to distinguish between them. Time is passing relentlessly, so what should they do? Therefore, they focused their attention on Zhang Hang.

  Aojiao Geya was also staring at Zhang Hang with great interest, he had already frozen Zhang Hang's face on the screen and looked at it for half a day, but didn't see any expression on Zhang Hang's face. He didn't know what he was thinking about, nor did he know how he would decide to act. Now is the time to test his wisdom!

  On the battlefield, you need brains as well as skills and equipment!

  Suddenly, Zhang Hang's calm and waveless face suddenly had a smile. This smile was like a small stone thrown into the lake, on the originally calm and waveless lake surface, stirring up circles of beautiful ripples, constantly spreading to all sides.

  "If it can't be distinguished, then blow it up!" Zhang Hang opened his mouth and softly spoke out his decision.

  "Oh my god! Principal Ouyang covered his face with both hands: "Still can't stop him! To think of a solution in such a short time, the commander of this Chinese special forces team is too awesome!"

  On the video, each member of the fifth squad frantically started destruction, and bursts of rapid explosions were heard. Ten minutes later, the explosion stopped, and all members of the fifth squad walked to the end of this special minefield with a swagger.

  And they seemed reluctant to part with the bottles and jars, one by one turning back to bid a lingering farewell. Especially Chu Lei, who was still talking with his mouth open.

  The closed-circuit monitoring system easily transmitted Chu Lian's words without missing a single letter, and at that moment, Principal Ao Riji truly wished the equipment didn't have audio transmission capabilities. Because on Chu Lian's face was an obvious expression of ridicule: "Damn it! I don't know which formidable character from Hunter School set up this minefield like this! This is no ordinary person, but a godly one!"

  The last minefield is the real test. The first area, all mines are buried underground; the second area, all mines are placed in plain sight; the third area, with both visible and hidden mines, a perfect fusion of various landmines was achieved here.

  Here, you can't be the slightest bit careless. The moment before, you had just dismantled a tripwire. The next moment, as long as you're not careful, you'll step on another hidden mine. When you finally dismantle it, without even waiting for you to celebrate, perhaps you've already triggered an infrared mine.

  What's even more deadly is that some landmines are placed according to your psychological activities, making it impossible for you to avoid them. The final outcome is always you stepping on one and then carefully disarming it. Meanwhile, some of the landmines have been modified, so conventional methods of defusing them will only trigger an explosion.

  So in this thunderstorm area, Zhang Hang and his team moved forward very slowly.

  "General, now they're in for it!"

  "Hmm!" Principal Chijo nodded: "Can't let them look down on Hunter School! If we don't bring out something decent here, the reputation of Hunter School might be gone!"

  "Crocodile, have you noticed that there are no other members of the Chinese team?" Principal Ojigga asked suddenly.

  "What's wrong, Principal? I wasn't paying attention!"

  "You'll understand if you observe carefully!"

  Five minutes later.

  "Oh, I see!" The crocodile's eyes lit up: "Each member of their team has extremely proficient demolition techniques and movements, almost the fastest, with no extra movements at all. At least 15 seconds faster than others!"

  "Right! On the battlefield, it's not just 15 seconds, even 1.5 seconds can decide a person's life and death! It's enough to affect the outcome of a battle!"

  "Look, a member of the Chinese team has stepped on a landmine! Let's see how he gets out of this one! If I can take down just one member of the Chinese team, I'll be satisfied!"

  "This possibility exists, but I think the chances are slim!" Principal Otsuka said in a low voice.

  On screen, Chu Lei has already squatted on the ground preparing to dismantle the thunder. At his feet, there are several irregularly placed cans lying on the ground.

  Chu Lei knew that the several pull cans next to him might have a problem, so he didn't plan to touch them. He carefully dug away the soil around the landmine and immediately exposed one.

  After skillfully disarming the landmine, Chu Sai carefully reached out to touch the bottom of the landmine and felt a fuse.

  Chu Li smiled and indeed had another move left.

  To remove the landmine underneath, one must first move away the tin cans on the ground. Chu's smile froze because he discovered that among several tin cans on the ground was a nearly invisible transparent thread connecting them.

  "Awesome! The godly person has leveled up, and can now set off a chain of landmines in both bright and dark environments!

  Although he said that, Chu Cuo still admired this mine-layer from the bottom of his heart. The landmine next to the tin can not only conformed to the normal psychological trajectory of ordinary people, but also disguised itself seamlessly, making it impossible for oneself to avoid stepping on it. It's not that one doesn't want to be angry, Chu Cuo was very clear, if it were an infrared mine, he would have been done for."

  "Boss, help! I've hit the jackpot!"; Chu Lei was helpless, this string of thunder he couldn't handle himself, could only ask for reinforcements.

  "Wow! Chǔ lì, we're treating you well, have some candied hawthorn!"; After removing the pull ring between the cans and pouring out the special material inside, Zhang Hang joked around after thoroughly dealing with it.

  "Surgical Knife, what you're stepping on is currently the most advanced and deadliest modified OZM-72 anti-personnel jumping mine in the world. The mine has two plugs on top and a flanged base at the bottom, with a fuse similar to or identical to the one used on the OZM-4. It can be detonated electronically, by pull fuze, or pressure fuze. When it explodes, its internal shrapnel will fly in all directions at four times the speed of sound, with an effective killing radius of about 25-30 meters and a death zone of 50 square meters around it, instantly turning you into a hedgehog.

  Zhang Hang stared at the anti-personnel jumping mine under Chu Lian's feet, looking back and forth several times, saying: "And its high-explosive filling is enough to tear you apart, so it's very popular in the world. Surgical Knife, if you had accidentally detonated such an anti-personnel jumping mine just now, we would all have been killed."

  "Boss, that was close! Luckily you came over in time to help me out, or I'd be a goner!" Chu Lin wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead.

  "But this anti-personnel jumping mine must have been modified, its lethality greatly reduced. I'm sure its lethal radius won't exceed five meters." Zhang Hang carefully examined its shape and smiled.

  Upon hearing this, Principal Odayaka and the alligator exchanged a stunned glance for quite some time: The eyesight of No. 111 was too terrifying!

  This batch of anti-personnel jumping mines was indeed because the lethality was too strong, so the Hunter School had modified it before use, controlling its lethal range within 5 meters. Although the Hunter School has a legitimate death quota, this is not the intention of the Hunter School after all. Too many people died, and there were also injuries.

  A loud noise came from behind, Chu Lei didn't even lift his head, and continued to fiddle with the Thunderbolt under his feet: "Which unlucky ghost died at this time!"

  Before long, this anti-personnel jumping mine was eliminated.

  "It's not our brother, that guy is huge, he's almost crushing the doctor's single price!" Zhang Hang looked up and commanded: "Continue to advance, everyone be careful of 7.24 anti-infantry landmines, I have one on my hand."

  Zhang Hang opened his palm, and a miniature landmine appeared before everyone's eyes.

  It is well known that the 7.24 anti-personnel mine is very small, no bigger than a palm of the hand, and can be hidden behind a leaf; it won't kill you, but will blow off one foot or a calf. It's said to have been manufactured based on the military theory of the former Soviet Union. In everyday battles, you don't need to care about fallen comrades, but you must take care of injured ones - at least two or three people are needed to do so, which not only effectively destroys the soldiers' morale but also undermines the unit's fighting spirit. The method of laying mines is also very simple, just scatter them casually in the jungle.

  It has been widely "favored" by both friend and foe.

  "Boom!" Another loud explosion.

  "Damn it! The difficulty of this last level is not small, and two more were eliminated so quickly!"

  With a loud "boom", Zhang Hang led his teammates, about 30 meters ahead of the second group behind him, cautiously advancing forward.

  Twenty minutes later, the fifth group successfully walked out of the forest of death, at the cost of six people being lightly injured.

  The second group to emerge from the forest of death was led by Skatteton's first team.

  In this battle, 11 people were lightly injured and 2 were seriously injured, one of whom was blown off his calf by a 7.24 anti-personnel landmine, with no deaths.

  No one on the Chinese team was injured.

  After passing these two checkpoints, each small team automatically disbanded and returned to its original formation.

  "Boss, Soft-footed Crab has been hospitalized!" said Ximen Ding.

  "Really? How did this happen, heavens!"; Chu Yuanqiao rushed in front of Zhang Hang and asked urgently: "Tell me, how did he get into the hospital?"

  Ximen Ding glared at Chu Yi: "What's the hurry? He's going to the hospital, what does it have to do with you? This guy is so eager for quick success and instant benefits, he's asking to be blown up!"

  "How could this be? I hope he can be discharged in time! Don't miss the training afterwards." Seeing the puzzled eyes of his brothers, Chu Sai hurriedly explained: "You guys don't misunderstand, I'm not a glass heart, nor do I care about his life and death. But if Soft Foot Crab doesn't get up after this fall, my wish will be in vain!"

  "What's your heart's desire?" The crowd was perplexed.

  "Ah! My wish has come true! The first wish I made after seeing that cunning soft-shelled turtle is now fulfilled!" Chu Yu sighed softly.

  What is it?

  "Of course, I want to personally send him to the hospital with this fighting project, so as to demonstrate our long-standing Sino-Japanese friendship. Chuai solemnly dispelled everyone's doubts: "It's just that I don't know how badly he'll be injured."

  "Judging from his performance of flying up to the sky and then falling to the ground at a normal speed, struggling to get up again, he should not be seriously injured!" Ximen Ding recalled: "I still remember that guy was forcibly carried out of the formation by several people holding down his hands and feet. The doctor on the side told him to calm down, saying that although he didn't lack arms or legs, he had suffered internal injuries."

  "Then let's pray for him, brothers!" Xi Men Ding said with a serious face, his hands clasped together and his mouth murmuring: "Almighty Lord, please forgive that ignorant person and bless him to recover soon. Amen!"

  At this moment, a chorus of "Amen" erupted around the Chinese team.
