Blood in the jungle

 Chapter 1: Blood in the jungle (1)

 The early morning rays of sunlight, like the delicate hands of a newborn baby, gently caressed the cheeks of those in the forest, and through the broad leaves of the subtropical forest trees, formed a narrow irregular patch of light on the forest floor. The thick bushes look like a spreading green pleated skirt, tightly wrapped around a few towering trees.

 A few unnamed finches landed on the half-man-high bushes, chirping and singing happily. The branches and leaves climbed by the bird's claws shook gently, and the crystal dewdrops slowly slid down the veins of the leaves, and the moment they dripped down, they glittered with colorful splashes in the morning light.

 A few thin wisps of water mist curling up from afar, slowly diffusing in the forest, bringing a distinctive earthy fragrance of the subtropical rainforest, mixed with a few hints of fishy odor from nowhere.

 Lin Yang lay on his back in front of a cluster of short bushes, the greasepaint covering his face and the mottled colors of his special jungle combat suit allowing him to blend in with the bushes. The moist and fresh air that characterized the early morning of the rainforest made his somewhat tired mind feel much more soothed. The various orientation data listed in the combat computer had already been deeply reflected in his mind, the retreat route after the mission was completed had also been determined, and the jungle swamp area had been specially marked by Qingluan. Everything went smoothly, now only waiting for the appearance of the target, and then end the mission, and bring a few brothers of his own squad to return smoothly.

 Lin Yang gently adjusted his posture, moving no more than a centimeter. Don't underestimate the movement of one centimeter, this small adjustment was enough to make him so comfortable that he would immediately lie down on the ground and huff and puff. For the special forces soldier who proudly crowned the entire army, lurking for a day and a night while maintaining his posture was just a basic requirement. Lin Yang had kept this posture for three days and four nights, I believe that in the entire Falcon Brigade, even if it was placed in the entire army, this would be considered a record.

 Lin Yang gently inhaled a breath, a trace of true qi from the dantian and upwards, slowly flowing through the five meridians and six veins, like the warm sun in winter, injecting new vitality into the muscles that had long been exhausted. At this moment, Lin Yang gave off a very special feeling, his prone body was like a bush that had originally grown here, and his entire body seemed to naturally blend into the earth. This was the benefit of practicing the Heavenly Heart Skill, conforming to the heavens and the earth, speaking of nature, the kung fu taught to him by his master had benefited him greatly.

 A cheering and singing finch, flapping wings, from the branch next to the clatter jumped to Lin Yang's head, the little guy also seems to feel this "leaves" than just that piece of more solid, can withstand his spoiled, cheering sound louder.

 Lin Yang laughed bitterly, he couldn't even remember how many times he had been spoiled, it seemed like every time he worked in the jungle he would suffer this kind of treatment. Looking at the right hand side not far from himself, Qingluan couldn't help but smile, but inexplicably felt that the oil paint on Qingluan's face looked much better than his own.

 Smiling faintly towards Qingluan, Lin Yang took another look towards his left side, Da Zhuang was lying down in front of the sniper rifle's scope, his eyes half-open, seemingly asleep. Lin Yang laughed, and Dajiang smiled with a corner of his mouth, knowing that these habits of his had long been felt by his brothers. As the Falcon's best sniper, Big Strong gave the impression that others never seemed to know what his eyes were looking at.

 Lin Yang recalled a joke once made by his favorite monkey at the drinking table. Da Zhuang, on your wedding night with your sister-in-law, where were your eyes aiming. Dazhuang coolly said, "My eyes are always aiming. At that time, all the brothers laughed and sprawled under the table, even the most shy Qingluan ran outside with a red face and laughed.

 Taking another glance at the monkey, the kid was lying on the trunk of a large tree not far away, chewing on a weed he pulled from nowhere and seemed to be chanting. A Rainforest Flower Snake was coiled on a nearby branch and was spitting scarlet letters at the monkey. This kind of non-venomous rainforest flower snake lives in the trees, and its meat is delicious, which is the favorite nourishment of the brothers when they work in the jungle. Only the monkey every time hanging on the lips of the sentence "snake nature is obscene", always provoked is chewing the snake meat of some shy Qingluan a burst of chasing and beating.

 Seeing the fat head of the Buddha and Little Li Zi also in their respective positions to conceal the completion, Little Li Zi also towards Lin Yang winked, smiling face also reveals a girl like two small dimples. The fat head of the demonstration like skimming, meaning look at you kid that little woman. Fat head just to the squad report, small Li Zi see him thin and long look, imitating a certain martial arts novel inside the Dragon Island fat thin head to him to get a fat head of the nickname, naturally, caused his serious dissatisfaction, the two almost meet on the pinch. But in reality, everyone knew that the two of them could share a pair of pants in their private relationship.

 Lin Yang saw the expressions on both of their faces and smiled back, when suddenly a soft tap came from the headphones. Lin Yang's spirit lifted, and he was busy looking towards the monkey who had taken on the role of pointman. He was looking forward with his miniature binoculars, and his back over hand extended a finger and gestured again.

 Lin Yang's left hand held up the headset of the man-portable radio and said softly, "One o'clock, eight hundred meters, target sighted!" After the well-ordered five taps, only Lin Yang's slight voice could be heard, "Six hundred meters!"

 "Five hundred meters!" ...

 As the team approached, the short-footed horses loaded with goods huffed and puffed, and the large baskets pressed on their backs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making their already low bodies invisible to the horse's back. Mongolian horses are known for their high physique and swiftness, while Dian horses are known for their weight and endurance, making them the best tools for transporting goods in the tropical jungle. A dozen armed escorts walked slowly on both sides of the Dian horse, mottled camouflage uniforms and boots splattered with mud that they are after a long journey, slung sub-machine gun full of magazines, scattered but not chaotic formation proves that they are well-trained military armed elements.

 This is a group of well-equipped armed men, Lin Yang from the last horse on the back of a large box even saw a heavy machine gun hung full of magazines. He wondered why he couldn't hear the sound of hooves, and after a closer look, it turned out that each horse's hooves were wrapped in a thick cloth, and Lin Yang cursed the cunning dogs.

 Seeing the horse team getting closer and closer, a soft five taps came from the headset, and Lin Yang knew that his brothers were ready. Seeing the other five relaxed, Lin Yang was about to give the order when a strong feeling of danger suddenly flooded his heart, like he was being bitten by a ferocious beast.

 This mission was to ambush an armed drug trafficking gang with weapons, and although it would be a bit of a threat to ordinary troops, it was very easy for the special forces. In the two years since Lin Yang had become a real Special Forces soldier, he had fought such ambushes eight times out of ten. Even on his first mission, Lin Yang was only a little nervous, but when the first enemy fell under his gun, Lin Yang no longer had any fear. This mission was arranged directly by the first and second captains, the intelligence was provided by an insider, this insider had provided accurate information before, the channel was very trustworthy, and there was little reason to be skeptical. This time, crossing the national border for more than twenty kilometers, the whole team, including himself, six people have been lurking here for four days, just to break up this gang and completely cut off this drug road.

 The sudden feeling of danger came from an almost beast-like intuition, but most of all from the trust of the true qi in his body. Lin Yang cultivated the innate true qi, which emphasized the nature of heaven and earth, and the deeper one's understanding of heaven and earth, the better one's cultivation. Lin Yang had been practicing the Heavenly Heart Technique for thirteen years, and although he had only broken through the doorway of the second layer, the Heavenly Heart Technique's nature-conformity had allowed Lin Yang to have a lot more sense of all things than others, which was why his latent lurking was able to be so close to nature. The Heavenly Heart Skill was quite sensitive to the senses of external objects, and in these two years, Lin Yang had had many brushes with death by virtue of this special sense.

 It would be good if I could break through the fourth layer, Lin Yang thought in his heart. According to the master, there were seven layers of the Heavenly Heart Technique, but unfortunately, he didn't know to which generation the master's ancestor had lost it, and there were only two layers of the Technique left to be passed down. Every time the master would speak about it, he would sigh with a stifled sigh, regretting that he had missed out on the supreme technique. If one could break through the fourth layer of the Heavenly Heart Technique, one would be able to sense things like hundreds of meters around them, and be able to have enough time to deal with all sorts of sudden happenings. Even if he only broke through the second layer, Lin Yang's ability to react is not comparable to ordinary people, otherwise he would not be so young to become the captain of the army's most elite Falcon Brigade.

 That strong feeling of being spied upon by danger made Lin Yang instantly sweat, like a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on him. The horse troop was already getting closer and closer, looking to cross the best ambush area, leaving Lin Yang less and less time to think. The mission had to be accomplished, there were no conditions to speak of, even if it meant sacrificing his own life. Lin Yang bit his tongue, suppressing his frenzied feelings and calming his mind. Believe in yourself, with your brothers' skill, you will never let anyone get away with this.

 Lin Yang took a dark breath and aimed at the fat man holding onto the horse's back next to the last horse.

 The silence of the woods was broken by the muffled sound of "bang", the rotating bullet hit his forehead, the fat man fell down with a sound, at the same time, there was the roar of Dazhuang's sniper rifle, and one of the enemies fell down. The opponent's good military training immediately came into play, after just a moment of panic, the remaining people rolled on the ground and scattered, the submachine guns in their hands spat out viper-like flames, and bullets rained down on the grass. The finches that had just danced on Lin Yang's head fell to the ground before they could spread their wings and fly.

 Lin Yang rolled over and leaned back against a tree, raising his gun in a burst of fire, and another person fell. Lin Yang said into his headset, "Number two, ask them to try the skewers." Da Zhuang didn't say anything, and the sniper rifle easily exploded another militant.

 The remaining militants immediately realized that the sniper bullets would blow their heads off at any moment, and panicked and took cover behind the trees. "With two loud bangs, two buried anti-infantry mines were tripped, and the steel balls that erupted from the sky rained down in all directions, and the remaining militants groaned in pain. The two militants were lifted up by the airwaves and became living targets for Da Zhuang and Fat Headtor. Little Li Zi happily sang, "Fireworks, fireworks, flying all over the sky ..."

 The remaining militants wailed and panicked, Lin Yang's six men split into three groups, Fat Headtor and Little Li Zi on the left flank, Lin Yang and Qingluan in the center, Dajiang and Monkey on the right, the three groups split up to take care of one side each, and killed them under cross cover. Lin Yang fired a point blank shot and eliminated the enemy lying on the ground aiming at Qingluan. Qingluan took out an armed man who was hiding behind a horse and was about to shoot at Lin Yang, then turned her head and winked at Lin Yang, revealing a small smile.

 There was a burst of strafing on the left and right sides, and the remaining militants were quickly purged. Fat Headturner and Little Li Zi high-fived and laughed, and Monkey even more exaggeratedly had a bear hug with Da Zhuang. Lin Yang see this mission and the previous times seem to be no difference, are unusually easy, but the heart of the feeling of danger is even more intense, the feeling of being spied on like a needle in the back.

 A shot Dian horse struggled a few times and collapsed, the large basket on its back fell over horizontally, and a few stones fell to the ground. A dark aura of death came over Lin Yang's body as a sudden flurry of Heavenly Heart Technique ran through his body.

 "Lie down!" Lin Yang shouted, pouncing over Qingluan's body as a sniper bullet grazed past his ear, and the two of them rolled to the ground together then tumbled away. More than twenty ferocious flames erupted from the depths of the jungle, bullets flew over like raindrops in the sky, the dense firepower pressurized Lin Yang and the others so much that they couldn't lift their heads.

 A flower of blood bloomed in front of Little Li's forehead, and Little Li slowly fell to the ground with a smile on his face that had yet to dissipate. "Little Li--", Lin Yang shouted, and then with a roar of "ah", the submachine gun in his hand roared and spewed out flames. With two consecutive rolls of his body, he reached Little Li Zi's side, and with Little Li Zi's still warm body, he rolled two more times and covered himself behind a thick bush, while the Fat Headed One beside him swept in a burst of gunfire to cover his movements.

 "Little Li Zi--" "Little Li Zi--" The cries of Dajiang Monkey and Qingluan rang out successively, and the enemy's The whistling sound of the bullets shot at them, surprisingly, could not cover their roars. The three of them fired together, and two screams were heard in the forest opposite, and two tall white bodies fell down.

 Lin Yang slowly closed Little Li's open eyes and saw the smile remaining at the corner of his mouth, his heart twitched as monstrous anger surged up, clenching his teeth together. But as the squad commander, he forced himself to calm down and think about the situation he was in now.

 From the point of view of the enemy's firepower equipment and combat program now, the enemy is quite old and vicious, and there are two snipers with quite high special combat skills, it seems that they have encountered mercenaries. Mercenaries are armed organizations composed of retired special forces members from various countries, all of them are veterans of hundreds of battles, they have the most excellent special operations skills and the most ruthless means of dealing with the enemy honed from the fire of war, acting strangely and unpredictably, not according to common sense, more ruthless and difficult than the regular special forces. From the encounter just now, the mercenaries encountered this time are definitely unprecedentedly tough, the attack formation and skillful attacking techniques and the use of snipers just now have the strong traces of a certain world power's special operations forces.

 The ambush was a trap carefully designed by the drug traffickers, and although Lin Yang's special operations team had eliminated the horse team, they had been wrapped up by the mercenaries. That insider with accurate intelligence now seemed to be completely exposed. Not only was it exposed, but it had also become a booster for the drug dealers, allowing them to comfortably organize mercenaries to deal with the special operations team that had ambushed them. Being able to eliminate a special operations squad was a huge success for those heartless drug dealers. Since the insider was exposed, the goods that the horse team was carrying were naturally not drugs, and the target of the operation was lost, this ambush had been a complete failure.

 Lin Yang is thinking, next to the fat head of the usually the best relationship with the small Li Zi, see the good brother fell in his arms, can no longer hold back the grief in his heart, long and thin body violently stood up, in the hands of the sub-machine gun on the opposite side of the forest a burst of sweeping shots, red-eyed screamed: "Dogs, old man will destroy you."

 Lin Yang was taken aback, he was busy pouncing out and pinning him down, a sniper rifle bullet whizzed by, only to feel a fiery pain in his left arm. Fat Headtor turned around and saw that Lin Yang's left arm had been stained red with sacrificial blood from his combat uniform, and busily called out, "No. 1, how are you doing?" Lin Yang shook his head and said softly, "Number Four, calm down." Nodding with hot tears in his eyes, the Fat Head nodded and rolled to change his position, the guy in his hand spewing out flames of vengeance.

 "Number One, are you okay?" The condolences of Dajiang and Monkey came from the headset, Qingluan's voice was especially urgent.

 Lin Yang grinned as he endured the pain, "It's fine, I was bitten by an ant. Switching to channel B now." Waiting for four knocks to come from the headset, Lin Yang spoke, "We've encountered a tough one this time." The others also knew that they had encountered an unprecedentedly tough mercenary organization.

 "The other side has no less than twenty people, excellent weapons and fierce firepower, it's an opponent worth playing with." Lin Yang's words caused a feeling of excitement to well up in the hearts of the team members, fighting against the strong, the Special Forces were never afraid and only became more excited.

 "Our only goal now is to get rid of this hungry dog that's stuck behind us, and cut off its two dog claws in the process." Lin Yang said easily, "We are the winners when we get rid of the evil dog. Understand?" "Understood!" Several neat voices shouted in unison.

 "Two, how many nails were found?" "Two." Big Strong's leisurely voice came out, not a bit of excitement could be heard, always keep your mindset, this is the most important quality of a sniper. From the attack on Xiao Li Zi just now as well as his own injury, Lin Yang knew that these two snipers on the other side were not easy to deal with.

 Lin Yang swallowed a mouthful of phlegm and said, "Three, report the eagle's position." The monkey's voice came, "Three o'clock, twenty kilometers." Twenty kilometers, there were relatives waiting for them to return home successfully. Glancing at his companions who were standing by, Lin Yang said in his heart, no matter what, he must bring his brothers home.

 Facing one of the best special operations forces in the world, a strong feeling of excitement welled up from the bottom of Lin Yang's heart, and a real opponent could always stir up Lin Yang's ten thousand feelings of pride. Well, let's see who is the real king of the jungle and who is the real king of special warfare. Watching the fat head of the fat head of the small Li Zi's body will be bound to the body, tied with a marching rope, Lin Yang heart a burst of excitement, can not let a brother alone long sleep here, this is the special warfare squad all the members of the heart of the idea.

Chapter 2: Blood in the jungle (2)

 "Pointman number three, Qingluan left flank, number four right flank, number two and I will cover, three o'clock, in battle formation, move!" Lin Yang gave the order and opened fire at the same time as Big Strong, two mercenaries fell under the flames of their guns. At the same time the duo's bodies kept rolling over, changing positions so that the opposing snipers couldn't find a moment to strike. Monkey whooshed out, Qingluan and Fat Headturner also took advantage of the moment when the enemy was temporarily suppressed by Lin Yang and Da Zhuang's firepower to scurry to their intended positions.

 Qingluan and Fat Headtor reached their positions while also firing together, suppressing the enemy, Lin Yang and Big Strong were catatonic, in the swishing rain of bullets, running the S line backing up to fire behind the trees twenty meters behind Qingluan and Fat Headtor. Big Strong eliminated a mercenary with a single shot, and just as he rolled over, the bullets from the other sniper arrived, whistling past his ears. Da Zhuang laughed and said, "I hate it when people firecrackers in my ears." Then he raised his gun and another enemy fell, then rolled, aimed, and fired. As if there was an agreement with the other sniper, after every shot, Da Zhuang must have a firecracker set off in his ear.

 The two groups retreated towards the meeting place under cross cover, the other side seemed to realize Lin Yang's intention as well, and their firepower became more intense, the flames spewing out from the AK47s made Lin Yang, who was so far away from each other, seem to feel the heat. The enemy's two snipers were active again, and the bullets grazed Lin Yang's scalp several times, scaring Lin Yang into another cold sweat.

 The monkey acting as the pointman reported the current position, and Lin Yang knew that the burst of hasty retreat just now had been a hasty march of almost seven kilometers. The mercenaries had left behind five or six corpses, but they had no intention of stopping at all, as if their sole purpose was to eliminate the special operations squad in front of them. Moreover, they were becoming more and more aware of the tactics of the special operations squad, and under the cover of the snipers, they kept closing the distance to Lin Yang and his men. Lin Yang's squad was like being stuck by a piece of kraft candy, they couldn't get rid of it.

 Lin Yang deeply experienced what it was like to be chased up the ass, especially with the power of the enemy snipers. The two snipers were like plasters on his back, and no matter where he went, he could feel the whoosh of coolness on his back.

 Glancing at Dajiang, who was concentrating on his aim, Lin Yang said, "Number Two, locate the nails and pull them out for me." Monkey's mischievous voice came from the headset, "Number Two, finish them off or my ass will be in bloom any minute."

 Da Zhuang did not say anything, Lin Yang only saw a bit of dazzling muzzle flame flashed, Da Zhuang's sniper rifle had sent out angry bullets, a clear scream from the opposite side, a sniper with branches and leaves stuck in his head fell from half of a tree trunk, at the same time another sniper's bullet also grazed Da Zhuang's arm and flew past. The leisurely voice of Big Strong, who had long since shifted his position, came through the headset, "Clear one!"

 Both sides engaged in a chase and counter-chase battle, Lin Yang and his men traveled more than ten kilometers in one breath, and the mercenaries were still in hot pursuit. The other sniper in the mercenaries was hidden very deeply, and such a long distance had prevented Lin Yang and Da Zhuang, who had six sensitive senses, from confirming his location. From Da Zhuang's solemn expression, it could be seen that the other party was definitely a top expert.

 At this moment, Lin Yang and his men were immobilized by the enemy's firepower, and their only way of retreat was covered by the mercenaries' network of firepower, whose purpose was obvious, to leave their opponents with no way of escape. This retreat route was carefully selected before the operation, the jungle was overgrown with thorns and traps, one wrong step could send one to the mouth of a wild beast or a deep swamp.

 Almost all of the team members had hung up their colors, Monkey's right thigh had been hit and blood stained the camouflage uniform. Fat Headtor's forehead had been grazed by a stray bullet and was covered in blood, Qingluan's arm had also been colored, and the only one who was considered intact was Da Zhuang. Looking at his men's brethren gasping for air and their faces turning white, Lin Yang was more worried about the physical exertion. Such a high intensity rush march in the middle of a battle, and in the middle of the jungle, the physical strength consumed by the team members was almost double than usual.

 There were still three kilometers to go before they reached the rendezvous point, where a helicopter gunship would be there in twenty-five minutes to carry the men home. But Lin Yang knew that these last three kilometers might be the road to death for a few of his men. The mercenaries sticking to their asses would never let go of this last chance, and the enemy's almost frantic firepower confirmed it. There was also that mysterious and unpredictable sniper, if he wasn't eliminated, these last three kilometers he would have enough chances to kill several of his own people point blank.

 No, I must bring my brothers back, glancing at the already sacrificed Xiao Li Zi who changed his back on Qingluan, a strong sense of responsibility surged up in Lin Yang s heart, good brother, I will definitely bring you home.

 A soft tap came from the headset, and on the other side, Da Zhuang made a gesture towards Lin Yang, indicating that he had confirmed the location of the other sniper. Lin Yang nodded and leapt up, his body flying out horizontally, a barrage of bullets sweeping out, and the monkey Fat Headturner and Qing Luan also looked up and fired together. At the same time Da Zhuang's gun went off, but Lin Yang with his agile hearing heard two crunching sounds. Watching the other sniper fall sideways to the ground from behind a bush, the elated Lin Yang no longer cared about the hot sensation coming from his thighs and rolled over to Big Strong's side and said, "Good job, Big Strong, pulling off another one."

 Lin Yang shot a long point blank shot, saw that Big Strong had not yet made any movement, and busied himself with a look in front of Big Strong's body. Big Zhuang's right eye was bloody, his eyeball was hanging out with meat, and his breath was very weak. Lin Yang hurriedly picked him up and slapped his face and exclaimed, "Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, wake up-"

 Dajiang slowly opened his other eye, grinned, gasped and said: "I - no - thing, dammit, finally - day to fight geese --Today, I finally got blinded by the geese. They - and a - sniper!" Slowly pushing the sniper rifle into Lin Yang's arms, "Number One, take him out - for me." Monkey dragged his injured leg and rolled next to Dajang, bandaging his right eye.

 When Lin Yang heard Big Zhuang's words, he remembered the sound of the two sniper rifles firing just now, and knew that there was indeed a third sniper in the mercenaries. Now that Dazhuang was injured, his side had lost the cover of the sniper, and the third sniper hidden by the mercenaries would easily kill his own people in the jungle.

 Looking at his wrist watch, there were only twenty minutes until rendezvous time, and there was no time left to make a choice.

 Holding the sniper rifle into his arms, Lin Yang said into his headset, "Number two is seriously injured, now number three will take over command, number four is on the sharp end, Qingluan will take number five and retreat with all her might to meet up with the eagle in twenty minutes. Leave all the grenades behind."

 "Number One, what about you?" Qingluan's urgent voice came to mind in the headset. "I'm in charge of breaking the back!" Lin Yang said calmly, "The situation is grim now, there's still a nail that hasn't been pulled out, I'm in charge of removing all obstacles. Twenty minutes later, we'll meet up at the lair." Lin Yang laughed easily, "At that time, I hope everyone can prepare hot water for me, so that I can have a nice fragrant soup bath."

 "No," Qingluan's resolute voice rang out, "I'll stay behind to block the attack while Number One continues to command."

 "I've been wounded, I'll be the one to stay!" Da Zhuang firmly said.

 "I'll stay, I'm not wounded, it's better for blocking!" Fat Headturner's firm voice came out.

 "The one who should be left behind the most is me, because - I'm no longer able to carry out the retreat mission." The monkey flashed a crooked-teeth grin from the pain he was enduring at Lin Yang, and demonstrated the clearly visible white bone of his right thigh at Lin Yang as if he were demonstrating.

 Lin Yang felt some moisture in his eyes and forced himself to hold back the tears that were about to well up as he changed his plan and said, "Number four and I will stay behind, the remaining people will retreat with all their might-"

 "No. 1--" the three of them, Qingluan and Fat Headturner Daqiang, called out at the same time.

 "That's an order--" Lin Yang practically roared.

 "Number One, you can't stay, you're in command." Monkey said busily, "They need your command!" Lin Yang smiled faintly and said slowly, "I'll stay and pull out that nail." The threat of snipers to the special operations squad was obvious, and with Big Strong seriously injured, the best sniper was only Lin Yang.

 The grenades of Qingluan and Fat Headtor Dazhuang's trio were all handed over to the monkey, Qingluan's eyes were filled with tears, staring at Lin Yang tenderly, "No. 1, you must come back alive, you still owe me a meal, don't be renegade." Lin Yang laughed, "Don't worry, when monkey and I come back, we must treat everyone to hairy crabs."

 The three men gave a solemn military salute to the two men who remained behind, and Lin Yang and Monkey returned the salute.

 Lin Yang nodded to Monkey, and the two of them simultaneously threw out two grenades into the bushes on the opposite side. Lin Yang held a micro-charger in each hand against his chest and swept the gun with Monkey at the same time, temporarily suppressing the opponent's firepower. In the smoke from the explosions, Qingluan turned back and looked deeply at Lin Yang, drilling into the bushes with her comrades.

 As they retreated, Lin Yang and Monkey rolled and crossed switched positions, the submachine guns in their hands spewing out angry flames together, sweeping down two of the mercenaries, while a sniper rifle bullet brushed against Lin Yang. The mercenaries' firepower intensified, spraying fire from a dozen places, pressurizing Monkey and Lin Yang to the point where they couldn't lift their heads.

Chapter 3: Blood in the jungle (3)

 The Heavenly Heart Skill in Lin Yang's body operated rapidly, his six senses were liberalized, looking for the third sniper, but unfortunately, his Heavenly Heart Skill had only been practiced to the second level, and the range that his six senses could sense was very limited, so he could only feel his approximate direction, but he couldn't accurately grasp his position. Lin Yang gave a hand signal to the monkey, telling him that he hadn't found the sniper's position yet. Seeing the monkey's eyes spinning around, Lin Yang smiled and said, "There's no need to be in a hurry, if we spend one more minute here, Dazhuang and the others will be a bit safer."

 Monkey cheerfully said, "These rabbits don't know how many US dollars they spent to hire such scum, it seems that we are really worth it." Lin Yang chewed on a leaf plucked from the side, "Three snipers, twenty or so people, according to the market, how can it be three million US dollars."

 "Good boy," Monkey smacked his lips, "Then each one of us will be able to spread hundreds of thousands of US dollars, which is enough for me to marry many daughters-in-law." Lin Yang laughed and scolded, "Do you have to calculate like that? We are monogamous."

 Listening to the rain of bullets whistling by his side, the monkey hemmed and hawed two more times before softly saying, "Number One, can I ask you for something?" Lin Yang raised his head slightly and glanced across the street, seeing that the group of mercenaries were constantly changing formation and orientation to shoot, with no intention of charging over, he slightly lowered his heart.

 Aiming at the head of one of the mercenaries looming in the jungle, Lin Yang fired a short point-blank shot, three rounds toppling the other's skull, rolled behind a tree for cover, and said to the monkey under his breath, "What's the good deed that begs me?"

 Monkey said, "In case--" glancing at Lin Yang, "I'm just saying in case, in case I can't get back-- "Lin Yang interrupted him, "What nonsense, we still have to treat them to hairy crabs."

 Monkey swept out a pike, changed his position for concealment, and said with a smile, "I'd f***ing love to eat hairy crabs, too, I'm just saying that in case - in case I can't make it back, Number One, you take care of my family for me."

 Lin Yang's heart sank, both he and Monkey knew very well that the chances of the two of them returning safely in the face of such an enemy were close to zero.

 Lin Yang listened to the monkey continue, "My family composition is simple, there is only one sister, is reading the second year of high school, next year will be the examination of the university, originally I wanted to earn more subsidies for her to go to the best university, now it seems to be unable to fulfill the wish." Lin Yang thought of his sister, the little girl is not in the attic at home waiting for his brother to come home. He also thought of the master who had raised his siblings since they were young, and wondered how his old man's health was now. There is also the girl living in the attic at the foot of the mountain, the bamboo flute that he sent her does she still keep it, it has been three months since he has corresponded with her.

 Monkey's eyes were fixed on the opposite side of the forest, and then asked, "No. 1, if you hadn't come to be a soldier, shouldn't you have taken the university exams this year as well. I also really want to go to college, but unfortunately my family's conditions are not good and my schoolwork is too poor." Lin Yang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, go back and I'll give you tutoring, next year we'll go to college together."

 Excitement flashed out of the monkey's eyes, the movements in his hands became even more rapid, a short point-blank shot put down one of the mercenaries, then a roll over and leaned over to Lin Yang's side: "Really? No.1, you're really quite powerful, I heard that you finished high school content on your own at the age of fifteen, even the little genius Qingluan admires you."

 Lin Yang was about to speak when he saw a flash of white light in the bushes across the street, the glow of a sniper rifle scope reflecting in the sunlight as it moved. Lin Yang signaled to the monkey that he had spotted the target, and the monkey grinned and gave Lin Yang a thumbs up.

 Lin Yang picks up the sniper rifle, his mood is completely calm, Tianxin skill line all over the body, will be the spirit of all the focus on the opposite side of the forest, at this time Lin Yang again into the state of one with the world, this natural peace of mind, for a sniper is the most valuable. The target's camouflage was excellent, Lin Yang found the target in the scope, but could not find the target's effective position. If the strike on him could not be a kill shot, then it would be Lin Yang who would get killed. Fast, accurate, and ruthless, these were the sniper's rules, deviating from any of them would result in death on the battlefield.

 The monkey changed magazines, a grenade was thrown, and then lay down on his side to shoot. Lin Yang saw a flash of the target's muzzle flame, taking advantage of the moment his opponent struck, Lin Yang could feel his heart seem to be completely united with the ground under his feet, the hand that hooked the trigger was like a precise mechanical arm, no recoil was felt at all, and the bullet spun and flew out, bursting in front of the target's forehead. The third sniper finally fell.

 After the shot was fired, Lin Yang immediately lunged out sideways, looking for a new hiding position, a burst of sweeping fire from the opposite side of the mercenaries, drilling pain came from his leg, Lin Yang knew that he had been shot. A muffled grunt came from the other side, Lin Yang was busy looking at the monkey who was hiding not far away, and saw that he was covering his stomach with his hand, and was obviously also shot.

 Lin Yang saw the bean-sized beads of sweat on Monkey's forehead and called out, "Monkey, how's it going?" Monkey let out a bitter laugh, "He***, these brats are going to wash grandpa's intestines." Monkey's small abdominal donor blood gushed out in large streams, his intestines had flowed outside, one hand couldn't even cover it. Lin Yang several jumps came to the monkey's side, picked up the monkey's body, saw the monkey's instantly pale cheeks and lips, tears instantly fell from the front of the socket: "Monkey, how are you? Don't scare me, we haven't eaten the hairy crabs yet."

 Monkey licked his lips and looked at Lin Yang with powerless eyes, "Big - gate crab, I - I - it seems that I can't eat it, if you kid have the heart to If you have the heart, cough - cough -, just take my - sister to eat it, she has grown so - big, I haven't taken her - to eat anything delicious, I owe her -"

 Large streams of sacrificial blood gurgled out of the monkey's nostrils and mouth, and his eyes scattered, "Number One, I saw my sister, she was looking for me." Monkey mumbled with his mouth and reached out his hand, trying to grab something, his body made a strong effort, his hand suddenly stopped moving in the air, and then hung down powerlessly.

 Lin Yang hugged the monkey tightly, teardrops rolling down his face, but he bit his lips tightly and refused to cry out. The mercenaries on the opposite side saw that this side was no longer firing, so they kept changing their formation again, closing in on Lin Yang.

 Lin Yang wrapped the monkey's belly with a bandage, looked at the monkey's face and said, Don't worry, brother, I will never let you fall into the hands of the enemy. Gently stroking the monkey's face, the monkey's rounded eyes finally closed.

 Lin Yang ripped off the one-man radio for himself and the monkey duo, and with both palms, he crushed the radio, smashed the sniper rifle left behind by Dazhuang, single-handedly carried the sub-machine gun, and put the monkey's body on his shoulders, full of murderous energy that could no longer be contained, and fiercely leapt out from behind the tree without hiding his form, and with the bullets swept out in a barrage of bullets, and with a flash of godly light in his eyes, he coldly shouted, " FOLLOWME!"

 The mercenaries didn't seem to expect their opponents to make such a move, they froze momentarily, and when they woke up more than ten flames shot up together, the bullets landed behind Lin Yang, who flickered and didn't enter the thick jungle.

 A brown-skinned mercenary looked at a tall and strong white man next to him and said in English, "Going on, JOHN? "JOHN touched his tall nose and grunted out of his mouth, "We've lost three excellent snipers and ten or so of our brothers, but a squad of six has not been wiped out, and the rest of This one, resolutely can't let him get away. I want to see what kind of gift this last friend of ours will leave us." A cold smile spread across his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the scattered mercenaries took their positions and chased down the traces left by Lin Yang.

 Lin Yang no longer had the strength to remove the traces he had left behind, and he wasn't prepared to do so, he was now relying entirely on the operation of the Heavenly Heart Technique within his body to have the ability to move slowly. The rapid loss of blood from the wound on his leg made his head get a little dizzy, the near numbness made it seem like he couldn't even realize that the leg was his own anymore, which seriously affected his movement, not to mention carrying the monkey's remains on his back.

 Lin Yang knew there was no way he could go back alive today, he had this premonition from the moment he stayed behind to block the attack. Since it was a jungle battle, let's settle everything in the jungle. Lin Yang had already advanced five hundred meters towards the deepest part of the jungle, his line of travel was at a forty-five degree angle to the direction Qingluan and the others had retreated.

 Lin Yang's entire body is numb, forward is just a subconscious action, if it is not the effect of the heart of the sky skill, Lin Yang would have already collapsed. Lin Yang knew that the mercenaries were all around him, and the closest one was only a hundred meters away from him. Relying on the magical danger sensing of the Heavenly Heart Skill, Lin Yang knew that he had escaped being shot in the head at least five times on this journey.

 Finally saw the towering tree, the lush turquoise of its branches and leaves looked like a large umbrella holding up the sky, Lin Yang saw a small unnoticed red mark on the trunk of the tree, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

 JOHN stopped in his tracks, it was a forest that reeked of death, no birds chirping, no beasts running, the dense trees blocking the sun from the sky, the air filled with the smell of rotting leaves and beast carcasses.

 Looking at the scene in front of him, JOHN was a bit flabbergasted. This was surprisingly an open area of nearly two hundred square meters, full of yellow leaves floating down on the ground, without a single tree, and green plants that could not be named were so luxuriant that they covered the entire open area. On the other side was a large hill that was clearly higher than the terrain on this side, backed by an unending mountain range, and it was unknown how far it extended.

 JOHN looked at the green plants in front of him, for some reason, he always felt that the word "long" was not very apt, but he could not give any reason for it, it was a vague feeling. Years of experience in sniping and being sniped tells him that this place is full of weirdness.

 What surprised him even more was that in the middle of the clearing lay two bloody men. The yellow and green combat uniforms stained red with blood told himself that they were the ones, who had cost him dozens of good men. Looking at the posture of one of them lying on the ground, JOHN knew he was dead. Special Forces had a beastly instinct for death, as much for the death of others as for their own.

 The other Special Forces soldier caught his interest, he was smiling at himself, showing a mouthful of white, straight teeth. He smiled so brightly that it was as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in years. It was the face of a very young yellow man, his grease-painted face was that of a typical oriental man. The black pupil-like eyes were so deep, like a calm lake in the fall, and the wisdom gaze coming out of his eyes was as if it had clouded the aura between this heaven and earth, making his whole person so harmonious. His body is not like the general special forces so prominent lines, but extremely well-proportioned and elegant, and even some weak scholarly feeling, I believe that no one will believe that the young man in front of him is actually a top special forces warriors. According to his own understanding of the yellow race, this is an extremely handsome young man, but from this Oriental body seems to come from the aura of death, let JOHN more cautious.

 Mercenaries have long been all stopped, according to the gun aimed at the yellow-skinned opponent in front of them, but none of them shot, all kinds of weird atmosphere pervades in in the mercenaries heart.

 "At last I see you, my friend!" JOHN touched his big nose and smiled, having no worries that the other party wouldn't understand. Mastering multiple languages was not difficult for a special forces soldier. With the other party's skill and guts, the language issue shouldn't be a problem at all.

 The young man didn't say anything, but smiled wider, and waved the uninjured right hand as if to greet his opponent. That aura of death intensified, which made JOHN feel very uncomfortable, and he was desperate to get out of this place, with a smile on his face, "My friend, you are wounded, and I think you need our help now."

 At JOHN's signal, the two taller mercenaries cautiously pressed towards the young man with their guns. They also seemed to realize what was going on, advancing at a slow and powerful pace, their fingers hooked tightly on the triggers, and their eyes dead set on the prey in front of them.

 One foot just stepped into the open space, the two mercenaries felt something wrong, just like stepping on water, their feet sank deeply into it, and the two of them only had time to let out an "ah" as their entire bodies tilted forward and were loaded into the open space. The ground was like a beast suddenly awakened, the green plants were crowded out by the two men's bodies, leaving space for them to be engulfed.

 JOHN was taken aback, but he heard an eerie voice say, "WELETOHELL!" accompanied by an even wider smile on the face of the orientalist.

 After Lin Yang finished speaking, his internal energy dispersed, a mouthful of true qi could no longer be maintained, and he wrapped his arms around the monkey's remains, and the two bodies sank down together.

 The mercenaries watched the scene in disbelief for a long time, unable to speak.JOHN watched as two of his companions sank into the muck with their enemies, the horrible green creatures quickly patching up the gaps left by their bodies, and the surface of the mud slowly calmed down, so that no one could see what a horrific scene had taken place here.

 JOHN finally realized why the word "long" was inaccurate, the green plants are the characteristic floating creatures of the swamp, to be exact, they float on the surface of the swamp. The difference between the word and the word "long" is what killed the two mercenaries.

 After a long time, JOHN let out a long breath and said, "What a terrible jungle swamp." The few remaining people looked at each other, all finding deep fear in each other's eyes.

 JOHN glanced at the place where Lin Yang's duo had disappeared and slowly said, ''They are the best warriors, the most tenacious and courageous enemies I've ever encountered, and opponents that will always be worthy of our respect.''STEVEN,'' JOHN said as he looked at the brown-skinned mercenary next to him, ''In the future, I will refuse to take on similar missions, and I do not wish to cross paths with these yellow-skinned soldiers again. All I feel right now is how lucky I am to be able to eat tomorrow's burger."
