One vs two !
Unbeknownst to Jake, Mark's remaining two soldiers, aware of their fallen comrades, had positioned themselves strategically. The narrow alleyways and crumbling structures provided perfect cover for an ambush. The two adversaries, armed and ready, awaited the messenger's unsuspecting arrival.
Jake Crawford who was hiding not far away the place where he killed the newbie soldier didn't have clues that then enemy soldiers were already stationed ahead of him .
The two enemies soldiers and Jake were hiding in silence , Jake was waiting for ambush since he knew that the enemies must have already known that he took out two of his people so they must have sent remaining two people to scout the area while the sniper was covering them .
Jake Crawford had two options now , kill the two soldier by ambushing them and he will be exposed to the enemy sniper , the next second he reveal himself Jake was sure that he would be dead before he could think of anything.
The second option is to capture one of the enemy soldier and make him reveal the sniper location.
So he was still thinking about other options left but he didn't have the clue that the enemy's were already hiding not far away from him.
They also had the idea of ambushing no killing him in first sight so they hid themselves and waited for the enemy messenger appearance. If he wanted to leave this place then he has through them since the rest of the area are blocked and takes long time to travel .
The messenger couldn't do that since it takes him long time to take another route and there will be problems in food resources which will impact him lot.
But what they didn't know was that jake Crawford would never take that option since he has to clear the side missions within 22 hour .
He has to end then and move towards the north camp as soon as he can , not only he has to kill mark group he also has to face the enemy captain who has nine member under him.
But even though Jake had time urgency he didn't lose his patience instead he became very calm. He began to think carefully and soon a idea came into his mind . He took out a stone from the ground and threw it far away from there . The
Clank !
Hearing the sudden sound , the two enemy soldier were immediately alerted , they peeked through the wall and observed the surrounding but they didn't find anything .
One of the guy pointed at the other guy and moved his finger across the roof by pointing twice . The other party nodded his head and slowly began to head towards the tall structure . As the first soldier was walking across the stairs , one of the steps deformed under his weight and he immediately fell to the ground .
This loud sound made both the enemy soldier and Jake Crawford freeze in sudden shock . After a second, the soldier stood up from the ground and moved across the stairs carefully.
Jake Crawford crouched down a little and turned towards east side where the sound came from .
"Are they hiding there ?"
The sudden rustling of debris alerted him to the presence of enemy soldiers closing in. The city's eerie silence heightened the tension, setting the stage for a deadly dance in the shadows.
As Jake was thinking, the first enemy soldier stationed on a rooftop, caught a glimpse of him. Without hesitation he aimed his Gun and fired at him .
The bullets whizzed through the air as the soldier opened fire. Jake's instincts kicked in, and he evaded the deadly projectiles with swift, well-timed movements.
The sound of bullets colliding with concrete and metal filled the air. The warzone's symphony of chaos echoed through the desolate streets as Jake sought refuge behind a dilapidated vehicle, narrowly avoiding the onslaught.
"Fk that was close !"
Jake Crawford cursed at his hesitation and began to think about his situation. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Jake assessed his surroundings. The alley offered limited cover, and the accuracy of the enemy's shots hinted at their proficiency. Armed with his assault rifle, Jake formulated a plan to outmaneuver his adversaries.
He knew that staying at this place will be no good for him , he has to move from here . Gritting his teeth, Jake Crawford immediately roll aside and the place he was just there , bullets rained down.
Thankfully he escaped there just in time .
The second enemy soldier, positioned on a balcony overlooking the alley, prepared for the messenger's inevitable movement. The dynamic shifted to a tense cat-and-mouse pursuit as Jake darted from cover to cover, dodging bullets and strategizing his counterattack.
They both had good combination so Jake began to lose his ground . But by firing at him repeatedly they just exposed their location . Since he knew their location now then he can start his retaliation.
"Let's hope they are not that smart !"
Using the cover of a partially collapsed building, Jake seized the opportunity to strike back. Swiftly shouldering his assault rifle, he aimed and fired calculated shots at the soldier on the rooftop. The element of surprise favored Jake as the enemy soldier faltered, momentarily disoriented by the counterattack.
The exchange of bullets intensified as Jake and the remaining enemy soldier engaged in a lethal dance. As the conflict reached a critical moment, the remaining enemy soldier attempted to flank Jake from the side. Unpredictable movements, missed shots, and the cacophony of gunfire defined this deadly dance in the heart of the warzone.
As they were exchanging shots , the enemy soldier in the balcony felt something was not right . At Every time they exchanged firing, he could feel that enemy was closing on them .
"Why would he come closer ? Doesn't he knew that he can be easily shot at close range ? Hmm...unless "
A sudden thought appeared in his mind and his eyes widened in panic , he wanted to warn his comrade but it was too late .
Jake Crawford smiling coldly threw two grenades inside the building and at the same time he rolled aside while firing continuously across the entire building.
"Nooooooooooo!"
A moment of careless led to their demises.
Booooom !
The grenade exploded into pieces and the whole building collapsed. The sound was so intense that it brought a shockwave towards Jake.
"Oh shit !"
