Chapter Thirty-Four: Darkness Before Dawn

  The team doctor was killed, and the wounded soldier didn't even have time to give a second shot. Suddenly, a strong force came over him. The Lone Wolf only felt his right shoulder numb, and then realized he had been shot!

  Without checking the wound, the Lone Wolf first shot and killed the soldier who had attracted the team doctor, only then did he turn his head to look, fortunately it was a through-and-through injury. The bullet had left a blood hole on his shoulder but hadn't damaged any bones. He shrugged his shoulder, the Lone Wolf didn't pay attention to the wound that was bleeding like a child's mouth, and turned the muzzle of his gun to search for dangerous targets.

  10 minutes later, the remaining wolves blew up the last seal's head. However, basically everyone was injured, and they didn't have time to treat their wounds, leaving knives and pliers on guard as the remaining people rushed onto the battlefield to sweep up the spoils of war.

  The remaining wolves ran to the body of the first sniper who was shot and turned out all the M24 special sniper bullets, and also took away their soldier cards and identity certificates. Others also turned out the ammunition they needed, and the monkey even got a large number of grenade rounds, which is the favorite of the assault hand. The wild boar even pulled off a complete set of ACU jungle camouflage from a black soldier who was shot in the head to change into the escort, no way, just two days ago, the escort's original neat clothes were already torn and fragmented.

  Three minutes later, the crowd quickly retreated after sweeping the battlefield. The Lone Wolf finally had time to check his wounds and found that they were caused by small-caliber bullets, which was a penetrating wound, but not too much bleeding. Hua Tuo used a small pair of tweezers to insert a cotton swab soaked in alcohol into the bullet hole on the Lone Wolf's shoulder and pulled it out from the other side, causing the Lone Wolf's forehead to bulge with blue veins. After opening a medical package to bandage the Lone Wolf's wound, the others' wounds were also roughly treated. After summarizing everyone's situation, due to the advantage of occupying the terrain, the casualties were not too serious, and compared to this, the Lone Wolf's injury was already considered relatively severe.

  Once again on the road, everyone finally got rid of a burden. With zero casualties, they annihilated a SEAL search team, which was already a very good result for a young mercenary team.

  The action of VX squad also drew the attention of the US military, less than half an hour after the departure of the Lone Wolf's VX squad, two Black Hawks arrived at the scene, seeing the aftermath and a corpse stripped of its combat uniform, all members' eyes shot out with angry gaze. Yes, they were also soldiers of the SEAL team, and what was before their eyes was simply an insult to them.

  A soldier moved the body to put his stripped comrade into a body bag, and the leading captain shouted "Halt!" and then jumped behind a large tree. By the time the soldier reacted, he had already lifted the body halfway up.

  The other team members were secretly mocking their commander, who had just returned from Iraq and seemed too small to be in charge. They didn't see the expected hand grenade, and it wasn't until the commander walked out that they realized what was happening. The other team members rushed forward to help put the other bodies into body bags. Just then, the fragmentation grenades under the moved bodies lost pressure and exploded. The soldiers were caught off guard again and a large number of them were injured, with even a helicopter's external cabin being pierced by shrapnel.

  The team leader, who had been nailed by a bullet fragment at the corner of his eye, sighed reluctantly, "It's them after all, we've fallen into their trap..." Before he could finish speaking, the team leader's neck slumped to one side and lost contact with this world.

  It turned out that the remaining wolves deliberately left the corpse with its combat uniform torn off, and stuffed a lethal grenade into each of the others. According to behavioral psychology principles, soldiers would first find something to cover their humiliated comrade, and the one with its combat uniform torn off was the most humiliating. Moreover, by coordinating with the pincers and deliberately placing the corpses in a more concentrated manner, the resulting destructive power and range can be imagined.

  Three kilometers away, Zan Lang and others were preparing to launch a surprise attack on a wooden bridge, completely unaware that someone had already stepped on the mouse trap they had set.

  Fortunately, the guards on this bridge were not very strict. There were three soldiers at each end of the bridge, one machine gunner in each of the two simple sentry towers, and the remaining four soldiers were divided into two groups to guard both sides of the bridge.

  The remaining wolves looked at each other with their knives and pliers, the three of them nodded slowly one by one, then unscrewed the silencers from their sniper rifles.

  Two people have adjusted their sights, and the residual wolf slightly raises three fingers of his left hand. The three fingers bend once, and when the last finger bends into a fist, three bullets silently hit the throats of the three guards. Before the guards on this side fell to the ground and died, the three people quickly reloaded and aimed at another group of three enemies. Again, three bullets exploded in the foreheads of the three guards on the other end of the wooden bridge. The VX team quickly passed through, and as they left, the residual wolf once again intentionally "accidentally" dropped a SEAL team armband. He now has at least five of these, enough to frame the opponent several more times. Although the method is a bit clumsy, as long as it can confuse people's vision, it's enough.

  Once past this armed point, the area is controlled by Rwandan anti-government forces. Team VX will make its way south through this chaotic region, which is much safer than the US Special Forces' area of operations.

  Three hours later, everyone finally got to rest their minds, the continuous dozens of hours of rushing had already exhausted everyone. Canis lupus leaned against the tree trunk and opened his combat uniform to check the wound, fortunately, there was no sign of inflammation. After moving around the sore shoulders, Canis lupus began to instruct the shift sequence and fell asleep soundly.

  Two hours later, the watch's vibration woke up the sleeping Zhan Lang, still paired with Qian Zi, and they looked at each other with wry smiles before climbing up a large tree.

  Just as the lone wolf found a good spot on the tree and was about to toss the energizing candy into his mouth, a chill ran slowly down the back of his neck. The lone wolf's movements stopped instantly. He had already guessed what it was, and this was enough to wake him up without the candy! It was a snake! A snake had coiled itself around his neck. Listening to the soft rustling sound coming from the back of his neck, the lone wolf suppressed the urge to reach out with his hand and remained still. Five minutes later, the terrifying little creature finally left his neck and slithered onto the branches above his head, at which point the lone wolf couldn't help but shudder.

  This time, sleepiness was gone, and the remaining wolf was afraid that an accident would happen again like last time. It kept scanning the surroundings with a night vision scope installed on its aiming mirror. Fortunately, everything was safe and sound until the monkey and the madman came to take over the shift, and the remaining wolf finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  However, at dawn, a burst of M4 gunfire awakened everyone, and the headset also transmitted the madman's call "DC, 7 o'clock direction!"

  A lone wolf stood up and went out, in the direction of seven o'clock. The figures of people swaying back and forth appeared and disappeared. The lone wolf tried to fire a shot, but the other party was already outside the range of fire and couldn't be hurt at all.

  At this time, the monkey ran back with a guy who was shot in the leg. Apparently, the previous burst of fire left them a clue.

  Looking at the frail body of the captive, Zhan Lang felt that things were going to go wrong, they might have gotten into trouble again.

  He trampled on the wounds of the captive and asked in French, "Which faction are you from? Why did you ambush us?"

  A glimmer of cunning flashed in the prisoner's eyes, and he said something in a native language. The main language of Congo is French, but there are also Lingala, Kikongo, Tshiluba, and Swahili languages, and the wolf knew that the other side was stalling for time, so he didn't show any courtesy either, pulling out his bayonet and stabbing it into the prisoner's bullet wound. A shrill scream echoed far away, and finally, unable to bear the intense pain, the prisoner confessed everything in fluent French.

  It turned out that they had been monitored since they entered the anti-government armed control zone in Rwanda, and a small leader recognized that their escort target was an important person that the US military had been looking for. So several small forces conspired to kill this team in order to exchange some weapons and ammunition from the US military, which led to this incident.

  After confirming there was no intelligence that could be dug up, Zhan Lang raised the military dagger in his hand and stabbed it into the captive's heart.

  "Get ready to move out, our troubles are coming again." With a single order from the Lone Wolf, the others quickly packed up their gear and left the campsite.

  Since the last ambush by the US Navy SEALs, they seemed to have given up and didn't come after them. But just as the tiger left, the wolf arrived, and this group of anti-government forces stuck to the VX team like a leech, unable to shake them off. They couldn't fight back because the anti-government forces were all clustered together in their controlled area, and taking out one would only bring another one out immediately, which would be like stirring up a hornet's nest.

  So, the VX squad had no choice but to reluctantly lead a group of flies behind them in this chaotic area, turning back and forth, whenever they got close, they would fight back, when they were far away, they would let them defend against the cold gun, over 1000 meters away, in the rainforest, it's strange if they could sweep them.

  As the days go by, the distance between GPS and destination is also getting closer and closer, with only the last 30 kilometers left.
