Chapter 950: Chapter 563: The Great Enemy Approaches (Combined Two Chapters)

Although they couldn’t see the specifics ahead, since Green Snake had said it, there must be no mistake.

A group of people began to move orderly in the direction Green Snake had indicated.

After walking for a few minutes, the mountainous area ahead gradually became less scorching, and the temperature dropped somewhat.

It seemed that the region they had just passed through had indeed been a deliberate ploy to lure them.

“Who knows what kind of dangers are waiting for us ahead.”

He Chenguang frowned as he spoke from the side.

“Earlier, I thought the sixth team was a tough squad. I didn’t expect there’d be another troop causing us such a headache. The organization truly is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.”

Green Snake couldn’t help but agree from beside them.

“However, they surely didn’t anticipate that we had such luck to get here!”

“Now we need to take advantage of their lack of attention and launch a surprise attack!”

Green Snake’s tone carried a provocative meaning.

“Oh, I can vaguely see the enemy’s position now.”

At that moment, He Chenguang squinted and said, looking ahead.

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked in that direction.

Indeed, He Chenguang was right. They could faintly see a few hundred meters ahead the blur of temporarily constructed tents, with smoke slowly drifting out of them.

This was an obvious sign of human activity.

Everyone was extremely excited.

“We’ve finally found these sons of turtles! Now we can avenge ourselves!”

The soldiers were all eager and raring to go.

However, Qin Yuan didn’t enter this excited state. As the leader, what he most needed now was to carefully observe the enemy situation and analyze what action they should take next.

The fact that these were the people who had laid the trap for them meant it was impossible that they would leave such a glaring vulnerability; that was Qin Yuan’s first thought.

“Everybody, don’t act rashly. Wait for me to check things out and then make a decision.”

Qin Yuan waved his hand, signaling the soldiers not to be impulsive and to wait on the spot for his news.

“Aren’t you being too cautious?”

He Chenguang was somewhat puzzled.

“That’s clearly their camp. They probably didn’t expect we would come here, thinking we would have died in that hot mountainous area.”

Qin Yuan shook his head.

“While we should avoid evildoing, we must also guard against it.”

“Given how cunning they are, they won’t leave such a big flaw for us.”

Qin Yuan still had firm belief in his own thoughts.

After all, as a leader, one must always maintain a calm demeanor.

It wasn’t that he was over-suspicious, but rather their combat capability didn’t allow them to make any more mistakes.

“Just stay here and wait for me. I’ll scout around for a few minutes and then return.”

Qin Yuan turned and spoke to the troops behind him.

“I’ll join you.”

A hearty voice came from behind.

It was Green Snake.

Qin Yuan then smiled.

“I knew you would come back. That’s just your nature.”

With that, Qin Yuan patted Green Snake’s shoulder.

“How could you do recon without me?”

Green Snake chuckled, his face bright with excitement.

On the side, White Wolf whined excitedly in place, also itching to go.

“Let’s move out!”

Qin Yuan’s gaze was determined as he spoke.

In a flash, two men and a wolf disappeared from everyone’s sight like a whirlwind.

A minute later, Qin Yuan and Green Snake appeared next to the enemy’s camp.

Just as they had suspected.

Although it looked from afar as if there were signs of human presence, upon arriving, they found no living creature.

The firelight and smoke were baits meant to trick them into falling into the trap.

“Goodness, these guys are cunning indeed! They’re playing a game of hide-and-seek with us!”

“We still can’t fathom their intentions for now, but we mustn’t underestimate them or let our guard down,” Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.

After the two had made certain that the camp was indeed deserted, they returned to the 2nd platoon of the logistics company.

“How is it? What’s the situation there?”

Back in the camp, He Chenguang couldn’t wait to ask.

“Was there a big army guarding the place?”

“Big army my foot, it was all a bluff!”

Green Snake slumped into a chair, annoyed.

“A bluff? How did we get tricked again?”

“Yep, there wasn’t a soul there, all just an illusion,” Qin Yuan said solemnly.

“That’s weird! Why are they always hiding from us? They should have set up the trap and then waited to reap the results!”

He Chenguang found it very odd.

“Maybe they are playing a bigger game,” said Green Snake, propping up his chin.

“That might be possible, but right now we must continue to follow their trail,” Qin Yuan declared.

They had reached a point where they couldn’t turn back without wasting all their efforts and could only continue their pursuit.

“Can you keep doing recon?”

Qin Yuan turned to ask Green Snake.

Green Snake understood what he meant.

He took White Wolf and carefully surveyed the surroundings for a while before turning back to Qin Yuan and saying:

“Yes, there are still some traces of their scent here.”

“No problem, though I’m not sure this is a good idea,” Green Snake added.

“I’m aware making such a decision now is risky, but like I said before, we don’t have any other choice, and I’m out of options.”
