Chapter 67: Capture

  Guilei's use is actually an application of psychology, Canlang looked at the small bell and thought for about five minutes before rushing to the shadow and pointing to the stairs downstairs.

  The latter understood that this was to alert him of potential enemies lurking below, although he didn't understand what the remnants of the wolf were thinking, but in this situation, there was no room for hesitation, so Shadow and Ransnow nodded very briefly to indicate understanding.

  He took another glance at the dark corridor below, and then gently pulled the handrail's cord. The "ding-dong" of the bell echoed through the silent space, sounding unusually jarring. Rán Láng swiftly hid himself on the staircase above.

  Three people stared nervously at the stairs, five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes passed, and there was not a single movement! Had I misjudged? Just as Lang Hu was about to doubt his own judgment, two black shadows suddenly rushed up from below!

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of gunfire filled the air, and Lang Hu's judgment was correct, but he clearly hadn't expected there to be two people here!

  It was clear that the opponent was also unexpectedly surprised by the endurance of the remnants, and in the chaos, one of the opponents was hit in the heart by the remnants and seemed to be on the verge of death. Another enemy, who was clearly very experienced, saw his companion being seriously injured and actually pulled him in front of himself to block the bullets!

  It's a long story, but in fact it was only three seconds. The enemy, who had lost a companion, retreated very reasonably and also threw a flash grenade onto the platform.

  Exposed to the intense light, the three wolves' night vision goggles almost exploded, and their eyes were stimulated by tears that couldn't stop flowing down. However, the three people's movements weren't slow either, and as soon as the flash grenade took effect, they each flew in different directions to counter the next attack.

  The expected counterattack did not come, and by the time the three of them took off their night vision goggles to wipe away tears, they could no longer find any sign of the enemy. Rubbing his ears, which were still ringing from the explosion, Wolf rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a few anti-personnel mines that he had taken from the first floor, beginning to set up new traps.

  The shadow nodded and shook off the dizziness in his brain, asking, "How did you know he was on the lower floor? Logically speaking, they should have rushed down from upstairs."

  "Go first, this time I've met a master."

  Upon hearing the Lone Wolf's words, the two shadows couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. They immediately stopped wasting time and grabbed their equipment to rush upstairs. Following the Lone Wolf's instructions, they cautiously stood on the platform above, watching as the Lone Wolf busied himself below, pondering the meaning behind his previous words.

  In less than three minutes, Lang Feng gathered his backpack and continued to head upstairs. He didn't seem to relax at all after killing an enemy, instead his face was unusually heavy.

  17th floor, the two shadows saw the remnants of Lang finding another hidden anti-infantry mine on the ground, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. What kind of enemy is this? Highly skilled in designing booby traps, cold-blooded in nature, and as patient as a venomous snake.

  This time, the Lone Wolf still didn't move to trigger the anti-infantry mine. After indicating for the two to go around it, the Lone Wolf hid in a concealed corner between the 17th and 18th floors, aiming his pistol at the mine's direction. The thick silencer made the handgun's center of gravity shift forward slightly; the Lone Wolf stabilized his aim, and a bullet silently hit the outer casing of the anti-infantry mine.

  A loud "boom" shook the entire floor, causing it to tremble. The smoke cleared, revealing a large hole blown out of the stairwell on the 17th floor.

  Satisfied with a smile, the lone wolf led his companions to continue climbing towards the rooftop.

  A top-floor office, three people quietly felt the tremors of the entire building. The trap set by the residual wolf finally had someone trigger it.

  A rare smile appeared on his stiff face, and the lone wolf let out a sigh of relief. "Finally succeeded."

  "Hey! Don't play dumb with me, brother. What's going on?" The shadow asked eagerly, having never seen what was called a "landmine war" before in his life, it would be strange if he wasn't excited.

  "At the beginning, the difficulty of the mother-child thunder in the first floor hall far exceeded all the traps within the 14th floor. That small bell was the real killer move. If one could solve the mother-child thunder on the first floor, it would be impossible to accidentally trigger that small bell. It was just a trap, and only an expert could make it sound."

  But even for a master, the numerous traps within the 15 floors are enough to make his nerves slacken, and when he finally sees the small bell, he will subconsciously think that the opponent is above the 15th floor, so he will hastily trigger the bell in an attempt to lure the opponent down.

  Even if the master guessed that his opponent was under his feet, but the long 20-minute wait would shake the master's confidence. Then misjudged. At that time, I even doubted my own guess."

  At this point, the lone wolf couldn't help but smile with a hint of relief.

  "Why was there another trap on the 17th floor and why did you trigger it?" asked Ruan Xue eagerly.

  The faint smile on Lang's face slowly faded, replaced by a hint of solemnity. "This is exactly where he is most sinister. If the hypothetical situations mentioned earlier were to occur and lead to his death, the victorious side would definitely let their guard down, thinking that the enemy had been eliminated or no longer posed a threat, thus relaxing their vigilance. This would be equivalent to walking into a dead end.

  I detonated that bomb to send him a signal, my skills are higher than his, if he is cautious enough, he will definitely choose to leave. The explosion just now was the signal he sent me, proving that he has chosen to withdraw.

  The wolf's words had just fallen when another even more violent explosion occurred, causing the entire floor to shake.

  "What's this signal again?" The shadow was startled by the sudden explosion and asked in a bad mood.

  "He's been killed!" The lone wolf growled coldly, "Do you still remember that horizontal fishing line? He must have accidentally touched it."

  "How is this possible?! Isn't he a master?!" Yan Xue retorted in disbelief beside him.

  "Even masters have off days."

  "Hiss..." The two shadows couldn't help but take a cold breath, only now realizing the guy's ruthlessness and cunning, maybe from the very beginning he never intended to let this master of sinister designs go!

  Although it's not excessive to use any tactics against the enemy on the battlefield, the two shadows still involuntarily shifted their buttocks backward.

  Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, the lone wolf picked up the rifle leaning against the wall and slowly walked down the stairs, leaving behind two silhouettes staring blankly at his back.

  The stairs on the 17th floor had been blasted out of a considerable section, and Lang opened the tactical light under his AUG rifle to cautiously sweep downwards. Faintly visible was a mangled corpse lodged in the gap between the stairs. Only after confirming that the enemy was dead did he truly let out a sigh of relief.

  He pulled out the rope, and the lone wolf carefully rappelled down to the lower level, treading on broken concrete blocks. The lone wolf carefully cleared a safe path. Slowly, he took out an anti-personnel mine, and with a sigh of relief, wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead, looking at this guy who just wouldn't die.

  After spending over ten minutes, Wolf finally explored the 14th floor and found the sniping position of that cunning LMG expert.

  This discovery made the Lone Wolf excited, not to mention that there was a Barrett M82A1 hidden under the office desk. The four M24 sniper rifles casually placed in the corner of the wall alone showed that this guy's military achievements were brilliant! However, after carefully checking all the weapons, the Lone Wolf couldn't get excited no matter what. Each gun was missing an important component - the firing mechanism, apparently because the opponent didn't want to leave any useful equipment for the Lone Wolf.

  He let out a sigh, and the lone wolf put all his weapons back in their original positions and continued walking down. Along the way, except for one hastily set up secondary trap, there were no other traps. By the time he found the body, the other party had long been dead beyond recognition. The broken corpse hung on the edge of the collapsed staircase, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

  He tightened the rope in his hand, and the lone wolf carefully looped it around the opponent's neck that was suspended in mid-air and pulled him up. Fortunately, the bomb exploded right in front of him, although the equipment on his body was damaged, but the backpack was intact.

  Fortunately, all the guns that were taken down were inside, and after checking the body for anything that could prove their identity. The lone wolf put the guns in his pocket and returned to the sniper position.
