After chatting for a while, the ghost fox kept vigil while the other three took a rest. In the middle of the night, Ghost Fox woke them up according to Chen Xing's instructions.
"Big Cat and I will go around and you guys will stay here." Chen Xing pointed to a hilltop with sparse vegetation on the other side of the cave stronghold. This place is more than two thousand meters away from the cave, beyond his shooting range, and the angle here is too single to cover all shooting points.
"He will follow you there." Guihu glanced at Wu Jinjian, pulled out the dagger from his waist and said, "I am not one of those useless medicine jars."
"Then be careful." Chen Xing patted the walkie-talkie hanging on his left chest, "Keep in touch at any time."
"Okay." Ghost Fox nodded.
Chen Xing quickly led the people down the mountain. Although he and Guihu spent a crazy night, they would not regard each other as his woman, and Guihu did not regard him as his man. Their relationship is still that of superior and subordinate.
Both of them were tacit about this.
Some things, if stated too clearly, can hurt feelings.
But that doesn't mean that Chen Xing is a ruthless person. Among the male and female mercenaries who have no fixed abode and wander around the world, it is very common for them to have romantic relationships. No one wants to be burdened, and not everyone can or is willing to bear the weight of feelings. Especially in this scorched earth, you may be alive today, but you may be eaten by wild monsters somewhere tomorrow.
Come casually and leave gracefully, this is the way mercenaries get along with each other.
After a while, Chen Xing and three others climbed to the top of the mountain and hid in the bushes. This place is only about 500 meters away from the hunting group's stronghold, looking down at the cave halfway up the mountain.
"The shooter is in position, safe." Chen Xing turned on the intercom and said. "Shooter" was his agreed-upon codename.
"Guihu received it, it's safe." After about two seconds, Guihu's voice came from the intercom.
Chen Xing climbed to the edge of the mountain and observed the bottom of the mountain for a while. Then he pointed to the left and right sides of the mountain and said to Da Mao and Wu Jinjian, "One of you goes to the left and the other to the right. We will ambush and wait."
After receiving the order, the two men immediately went down the mountain in the dark and hid in the bushes at the foot of the mountain.
A few hours later, a streak of fish-white appeared on the horizon, and the scenery turned from black to white, gradually becoming clearer.
"Archer, safe." "Ghost Fox, safe." "Swordsman, safe." "Big Cat, safe."
After confirming, Chen Xing returned his attention to the vegetation on the opposite mountain, looking for the location of the hidden whistle. After more than ten hours of observation, they discovered two hidden sentries. One was discovered when someone was delivering lunch, and the other was discovered when the other party ran out of the hiding spot to relieve himself.
In the evening, Chen Xing believed that there were no other hidden sentries, so he took advantage of the dinner time to launch an attack.
After arranging the task through the intercom, Chen Xing pushed a 7.62mm black titanium armor-piercing bullet commonly known as "Big Black" into the barrel of the gun, ready to support the two people under the mountain at any time.
Wu Jinjian and Da Mao sneaked towards two secret sentries respectively. The ideal was to assassinate them silently, but if they were exposed, he and Gui Hu would shoot immediately.
Chen Xing placed his sight on the head of the secret whistle on the left. As long as he pulled the trigger, the opponent's head would explode. To be on the safe side, he used a black titanium warhead.
Strictly speaking, black titanium bullets and depleted uranium bullets are both "armor-piercing bullets", not "armor-piercing bullets" in the true sense, but everyone is used to calling them that.
The armor-piercing principle of steel-core bullets and tungsten-core bullets is to use impact force to directly penetrate the armor and cause damage to personnel inside. But in reality, penetration is difficult to achieve unless the armor is weak.
Depleted uranium bombs are different. They are designed using the principle of uranium impact combustion. When the warhead hits the armor, the huge impact force will cause the uranium to burn, generating a high temperature of more than 6000°C, reducing the local strength of the armor. Eventually it breaks through the armor and kills the personnel and equipment inside.
There are currently two main types of depleted uranium bombs, one is the "Red Lotus Bomb" made of uranium 235, and the other is the "Super Red Lotus Bomb" made of the new material "Uranium 777"
The principle of black titanium bullets is similar to that of depleted uranium bullets, except that the damage target is changed from alloy armor to psychic armor. The collision between black titanium and star sand will produce a violent explosion, thereby achieving the purpose of breaking armor.
Black titanium armor-piercing bullets infused with psychic energy can basically hit targets below the elite level one at a time. Unless you are extremely talented, you can rarely defend against it.
Suddenly, the target in the scope moved and turned to look behind. Chen Xing couldn't help but scream, the big cat must have been discovered. Make a quick decision and pull the trigger.
"Bang!"
The head in the scope exploded in response. Even if there is no time to infuse spiritual energy, the power is still amazing.
After the kill, Chen Xing immediately moved the scope to another hidden sentry. As soon as the gunfire rings, the target will definitely be alert, and Wu Jinjian may be in danger. But at this moment, dull gunshots rang out from the hills behind. Another secret sentry had half of his shoulder cut off and fell screaming and struggling in the bushes. Wu Jinjian rushed forward quickly and pierced An Shao's throat with his sword.
Hearing the gunfire, two people ran out of the cave. Gunshots rang out from behind again, and the ghost fox shot and killed one. Chen Xing had no time to accumulate energy, and the 7.62 bullet was not powerful enough. It only caused heavy damage and made the opponent retreat.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, no one in the cave dared to show their head. Chen Xing turned on the intercom and gave the order to attack.
"Big Cat, Swordsman, outflank them from left to right, and then throw grenades into the cave."
After two days of observation, there should be no other way out in the cave. Otherwise, due to the laziness and neglect of the other party, he would not go around half of the mountain to fetch water.
Sure enough, his guess was correct. After Da Mao and Wu Jinjian threw a few explosive grenades and incendiary grenades inside, the hunting group rushed out in a swarm.
However, facing them were two assault rifles and two sniper rifles. Those without psychic armor were killed on the spot by Big Cat's M4 and Wu Jinjian's AK47, while some of those with psychic armor were sniped by Chen Xing and Ghost Fox.
Halfway through the charge, the hunting group suffered heavy casualties and retreated again.
As soon as they retreated, Da Mao and Wu Jinjian threw grenades inside. It felt like plugging holes and exploding mice, which was extremely refreshing. The people in the hunting group couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out again, only to be beaten back again. After several rounds, more than twenty corpses were thrown away.
"Stop, stop fighting, we surrender, surrender!"
A wooden pole with a white vest hanging on it stuck out of the hole, swinging up and down.
"We surrender, don't shoot!"
Chen Xing thought for a moment, turned on the intercom and said, "Let them throw their weapons out, then hold their heads and kneel at the entrance of the cave."
Since the other party surrendered, there was no need for him to kill them all. On the one hand, he is also afraid that the opponent will jump over the wall and fight to the death. The previous withdrawals were because the other party was afraid of death. But if you know that you will definitely die, your will to fight will definitely increase significantly. Big Mao and Wu Jinjian are at the entrance of the cave. If the other party is really desperate, they will bear the brunt and may be in danger.
On the other hand, he needs to prove that he has conquered the hunting group before he can recruit members. In this way, he must be alive, otherwise no one will believe it.
After a while, various firearms and cold weapons were thrown out. The members of the hunting group appeared at the entrance of the cave, kneeling in rows. Chen Xing roughly counted nineteen people. Young Master Jin was also among them, looking disgraced and kneeling in the inner position.
"There are two more inside." Ghost Fox's voice came from the intercom, and Da Mao and Wu Jinjian immediately took a step back.
"Tell them to press out the two people inside, otherwise they will be killed without mercy." Chen Xing said.
In the scope, the people kneeling at the door looked at each other, seeming very hesitant. Chen Xing's pupils shrank, he aimed at the entourage next to Young Master Jin, and shot him in the head.
The red and white liquid sprayed all over Young Master Jin's head and face. He was so frightened that he screamed and shrank into the cave.
"Quick, pull them two out..." Young Master Jin's panicked voice came from the intercom.
Immediately, gunshots, shouts, and curses came from the cave. Not long after, two strong men whose clothes were torn in many places were forced to the entrance of the cave with their arms twisted.
"Your left, my right." Chen Xing said into the intercom.
"Copy that." Ghost Fox responded.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Two strong men were executed with one shot each. At this time, there were only seventeen people left in the hunting group. He was probably killed when he went in to arrest someone just now.
"Let them come out one by one, be searched by the swordsman, and then tied up." Chen Xing said. Wu Jinjian reacts quickly and is not easily attacked.
Half an hour later, seventeen people had their hands and feet tied and knelt in a row. Chen Xing put away his gun and called the ghost fox to come with him.
Chen Xing went in first to check the cave in case someone ambushed him. He is the strongest and has the sense of danger, so it is most suitable for him to enter.
The cave is not very deep, it ends about thirty meters away. There is an irregular space in the innermost part, about 70 to 80 square meters, with a high top, which looks quite spacious. As he guessed, there was no other way out of the cave, and it would be over if the entrance was blocked. If it were him, he would never choose such a place as a stronghold. He has no military common sense.
A cunning rabbit still has three caves, let alone a human being.
When Chen Xing went outside, Guihu had already put away the opponent's weapons. Da Mao and Wu Jinjian held assault rifles and guarded Young Master Jin and others one after another.
Chen Xing glanced at them. These people had keen eyesight and strong bodies, and they were all capable of fighting. There were only four people on his side, so it was a bit reluctant to control seventeen people, but he didn't want to kill the prisoners. Although mercenaries often betray their trust, no subordinate will follow the traitorous boss, so he cannot solve the problem in the simplest way, at least not now.
So he thought of a way to release the prisoners one by one, and gave them a pistol and twenty gold coins, and then limited them to escape from the sight of the ghost fox within ten minutes, otherwise the ghost fox would send them a large 20mm sniper round bomb.
The advantage of this method is that the released person will be in a panic and find it difficult to join other teammates. Moreover, Chen Xing only released half of the people and was unable to form a threatening team. As for the pistol and gold coins, it was to give them the ability to protect themselves and the hope of survival, so that they would not take risks and come back to fight to the death.
People are selfish. As long as there is a way to survive, who is willing to fight?
Chen Xing releases one person every hour. The people who were released were all very grateful, shouting loudly and running wildly.
After releasing half of the people, Chen Xing walked around the cave again. This time he discovered two things. One was that some parts of the cave were made of soil and could be excavated. Perhaps other ways out and a larger space could be dug out. The other is a dark web communication device, the size of a 120L backpack, with a DNA scanner on it. It is estimated that someone with a specific DNA fragment is required to operate it.
Nine times out of ten, only Young Master Jin outside can operate it.
"what's your name?"
Chen Xing asked Guihu to bring Young Master Jin in and start questioning.
Young Master Jin's hair is messy and his head is drooped. He has long lost his former arrogance and domineering attitude. His eyes were panicked, like a frightened chicken.
"Jin, Jin Cheng'en..." Young Master Jin added, "The Jin family in Chengbei Town, Linzhi City, Sagara Province, Qingguo."
"Have you asked the family for help?" Chen Xing patted the darknet communicator and asked.
Jin Chengen showed hesitation, and Chen Xing's face turned cold, half threatening, half persuading, "If you want to survive, it's best to tell the truth."
