The reckless plan !
As Jake Crawford descended from the vantage point, a newfound awareness permeated his every step. Looking at the sky it was already past afternoon so that means , the next afternoon will be the deadline for the side mission.
To clear the side missions he has to reach the north camp as fast as he can and from his calculation he needed minimum ten hour to reach the camp by walking but since there are enemy's soldier's five hundred metres ahead , he need to be careful and bypass then sneakily.
If he has to sneak past the enemy's lookout then it will take atleast more than twenty hours which will bring a anomaly in the time limit , a probability. A chance of failing the side missions that he could never take risk on .
And also he has to look out for the hunger stats which will be a pain in the neck . Currently the hunger stats he has;
[Hunger : 8/10
Health : 10/10 ]
This two stats filled in green colour what kept him safe now , if any one of them went red in colour then consider his life is hanging on thread .
He needed more than one day considering all expected outcomes and about sudden unexpected outcomes...he didn't consider it !
So to sneak past the enemies is not a option and the other option is a suicidal one , that he didn't want to choose it but for now he has no other options left .
The other options he had was to confront them head on and based on his experience this was a path of death.
He roughly calculated their numbers when he observed them from the elevated building. The enemies have fifteen elite soldier with rifles and grenades so if he fights them straight then he is the biggest idiot that ever lived .
And also his gun was in damaged condition where he can't use it unless if he repaired it from a weaponsmith!
Where do you find a weaponsmith in this goddamm warzone? Obviously in camps and strongholds but what's the point of going there ?
He has to do time limited side mission!
Thinking about all of this , he was having lesser version of survival if he don't reach the camp . He also has to worry about bonus / hidden missions too.
"Hmm....there should be some other ways !"
He started to think carefully and the time began to rush faster than the flowing water . Suddenly he thought of his past skills and experience, then a idea began to form in his mind .....
"Hmm..since both options has risky factor ....I have to make a new option and choose it !"
He won't confront the enemies head on nor he will sneak past the enemies, he will just choose the most suitable options to clear them .
That is to ambush them !
Since he has no weapon to kill them , he has to lure one of them and seize their weapons. Then only he have a chance to fight them and finish them one by one.
He has to lay a trap and ambush them since the enemies are ahead of him , he can't set traps there . Only here he can easily lay traps and ambush them by luring them into the traps .
As for how he would do that ! He had a bright idea for that one , a reckless idea but the best one to lure them without showing his presence.
Jake Crawford moved cautiously through the war-torn landscape, his mind racing with ideas on how to execute his ambush plan. The crumbling buildings and debris-strewn streets provided ample cover for his strategizing.
As he was walking throughout the empty desolate streets and looking for a certain unstable structure , he felt someone was observing him from Shadows, alarmed he looked around and found that there was no in the victnity.
"Was I mistaken?"
Thinking about it , he indeed felt this feeling before too but he didn't give that much attention to it but now it seems there is no coincidences.
"Let's focus on the ambush plan now . once I get my hands on the weapon , I will be atleast safe from sudden ambush!"
The sun dipped lower in the sky, casting long shadows over the desolate scene. Luring the enemy soldiers into traps required careful planning and precise execution. Jake surveyed the area, selecting key locations for his traps. His goal was to take advantage of the uneven terrain and battered structures to create obstacles that would disorient and slow down the pursuing enemy.
"That's what I need now !"
Since it's a warzones there were many structures in unstable condition but he has to find something more than unstable structure and now he found one .
It was a soon to be collapsing building of public house , it wasn't that big nor small . The house was already in the last stage of the destruction and it was hanging on due to the last pillar supporting the roof .
Carefully he went inside the house and began to search for some ropes . The house was particularly small and soon he found a rope in the store room. He took the rope and came out of the house in constant watchout of sudden collapse of the house but to his luck it didn't yet .
Sighing himself, he tied the rope across the only pillar that's supporting the house roof .
Rubbing his both hands , he held the rope in his hand and distanced himself from the building . Now he began to pull with all of his strength.
Yes ! His thoughts was quite simple and reckless...
He was going to make a noise loud enough to let the enemies hear it and they will soon head here , then only he will begin his ambushes .
"Come on.....damm it !"
He tried with his every strength and his muscles felt pain all over his body but he didn't care ! He has to do it no matter what it takes .....
"Urgh...!
After consecutive pulls , the already worn out pillar fell to the ground and soon with it , the roof collapsed along with the brick walls.
Booooooooooooom !
A loud voice was heard in this desolate land and it travelled a long way !
Five hundred metres away , a burly man looked behind immediately when he heard the loud voice. Behind him , his men were alarmed by the sudden sound .
They even felt the land shaking a little from the impact .
One of the guy gripped his firearms and said in confusion
" The sound must be because of unstable structure collapse, Captian!"
The captain narrowed his eyes and said after a moment of thought
"Mark , take a few men and see what is it ! Remember to report me before engaging in crossfire!"
Understanding the captain words , a tall guy came forward and said seriously
"Yes sir !"
Soon mark selected few people and followed the directions of the loud sound.
