From Wang Tianyu's understanding of Lu Ting's actions, Lu Ting had only used a basic attack, but the enemy had unleashed a whole set of skills and also exposed their own positions!
Just when Wang Tianyu thought that Lu Ting had managed to lure out the positions where these armed men were hiding, he unexpectedly gave the order to attack the mercenaries underneath.
Perplexed by this, Wang Tianyu looked immediately at Lu Ting and asked, "Why not just leave directly? It would be fine to bypass them. Must we fight?"
Upon hearing Wang Tianyu's words, Lu Ting turned his head to glance at him.
At the same time, Captain Price, Roach, and Nickolai beside him also gave Wang Tianyu a cold look, harboring some displeasure in their eyes at this moment. Although they couldn't understand the Dragon Kingdom language spoken by Wang Tianyu and the commander, the three of them could sense some questioning from his tone.
Among them, the least qualified to question Commander Lu Ting's decisions was this outsider Wang Tianyu who knew nothing!
At this point, Lu Ting didn't feel angry or bothered by Wang Tianyu's questioning. He simply couldn't be bothered with him because in his eyes, Wang Tianyu's words were as foolish and ignorant as asking how much one plus one equals!
If it were possible to simply bypass this area and leave, would Lu Ting still not know to do it?
Leaving aside the fact that there was no way to bypass this open area in the first place, even if there were, would they be sure not to be discovered by these armed men if they chose to detour and leave?
The white smoke produced by several smoke grenades would disperse on its own after a certain time, and once these white smoke clouds dissipated a bit, the armed men would realize that they were not there!
Then, the awakened armed men would definitely swarm out again to hunt them down.
Therefore, it was impossible to detour and leave at this time.
Ignoring Wang Tianyu's words, Lu Ting exchanged glances with Captain Price, Roach, and Nickolai, then stood up straight and began to move directly towards the other side where the armed men were still attacking.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Seeing Lu Ting ignore him again, Wang Tianyu was about to speak with some complaint, but before he could say anything, Nickolai grabbed him by the collar.
At this point, Wang Tianyu knew that except for Lu Ting, these mercenaries couldn't understand the Chinese language, so he switched to English and said to Nickolai, "Let go of me, I can walk on my own!"
Upon hearing this, Nickolai couldn't be bothered to be polite with him, threatening him with a dark tone, "Shut your mouth, or you'll be the one suffering in the end!"
Wang Tianyu: ...
What the hell kind of mercenaries are these?!
Not only did they ignore his words, now they were resorting to threats?!
However, Wang Tianyu also knew that he couldn't act recklessly during the operation. Otherwise, if he really exposed himself, the situation would be just as the mercenary said!
So, he quickly shut his mouth resentfully and obediently followed them.
Meanwhile, at the same time, on the highest point of the small ridge directly opposite the rear gate area of the "KK" scam zone, when Ghost sensed that some pesky mice were coming for him, he didn't immediately take action.
Wait until the chaotic footsteps get closer and closer, Ghost, hidden in the bushes, just prepared to act. Just at that moment, there was a sudden, intense gunfire erupting from inside the "KK" scam zone across the mountain from below.
Hearing this, Ghost's eyes unconsciously glanced towards the zone, even though there was such a large distance between them, he could still rely on his naked eyes to see the various flashes of fire constantly flickering within the rear gate area of the zone.
Obviously, this round of fighting was very intense!
Ghost also knew clearly that this was definitely a battle that broke out between the commander and those armed men. Thinking of this, the furrowed brows under the black and white skull mask of Ghost wrinkled slightly.
At this time, those pesky mice who came to find Ghost were already close by. Obviously, they couldn't speak to ask Lu Ting and others about the situation, they could only wait until they had solved these pesky mice!
At this time, the armed men dispatched to deal with the sniper were also startled by the sudden outbreak of intense fighting in the zone. Their gazes and attention were involuntarily drawn to the situation in the zone below, completely unaware of the deadly danger approaching them step by step.
For now, Ghost temporarily placed the R93 Tactical Sniper Rifle in the bushes where he had been hiding all along, and silently retreated from it. The continuous gunfire from below effectively masked the slight noise of his movements.
Therefore, when Ghost held the Glock 17 pistol and approached behind one of the armed men, the latter had no slightest awareness!
It was the same for another armed man standing further ahead, also with his back turned to Ghost, who suddenly snapped out of his daze as he observed the battle situation inside the zone. He was about to remind his teammates to quickly complete the boss's mission when he noticed Ghost standing behind his companion.
At this moment, it was the eerie dead of night, and they were in a deserted mountainous area. When he turned his head in surprise and saw something vaguely resembling a black and white skull behind his companion, anyone would be scared out of their wits, right?!
And this armed man was no exception. He stared at the black and white skull mask on Ghost's face, his pupils contracting greatly out of immense fear, and his face instantly filled with a terrifying look of horror.
The next second, just as this armed man opened his mouth, about to scream out loud, Ghost didn't give him the chance to speak!
*Chirp!*
With a silenced gunshot suddenly ringing out, the armed man who had turned around was instantly shot in the forehead, dying instantly!
Upon hearing the gunshots and the nearby sound behind them, the other armed men all woke up as if from a dream. Their first reaction was to turn around with their guns ready to find the enemy.
However, obviously, with their impromptu reactions, how could they be faster than Ghost?!
*Chirp!*
*Chirp!*
*Chirp!*
After several consecutive silenced gunshots, the other troublesome armed men who came looking for trouble were also accurately shot in the head one by one by Ghost, just like the first one!
After dealing with these pests, Ghost didn't even glance at their bodies. He reholstered his pistol and quickly returned to his original position, picking up the R93 Tactical Sniper Rifle and setting it up again, ready to continue providing sniper cover for Lu Ting and his team.
"Commander!"
Ghost returned to their team's public communication channel and asked, "How's the situation inside your zone? Is it resolved?"
"Resolved?"
Almost immediately, Lu Ting's voice came through the single combat communication channel.
However, at this moment, Ghost not only could hear Lu Ting's voice but also the chaotic background sounds of battle that accompanied it.
"Yeah, it's resolved."
While quickly replying, Ghost observed the situation in the zone below through the high-magnification scope on the R93 Tactical Sniper Rifle.
He could clearly see that several hundred meters away from the blown-open rear gate of the zone, in a smoke-filled open area, there was a relentless barrage of heavy explosions.
Could Commander and the others be there among them?
Because the background sounds coming from the combat communication channel indicated that Commander and his team were positioned very close to the most intense combat zone!
Thinking of this, under Ghost's black and white skull mask, his expression suddenly became somewhat serious. Based on his current observations, that open area being relentlessly bombed by armed fanatics seemed to lack any cover.
If Commander Lu Ting and the others were really there at this moment, dealing with them would be somewhat troublesome.
In fact, Lu Ting and the members of Task Force 141 were indeed as Ghost suspected: they were close to those fanatical gunmen who were firing wildly, but they were not in the direct line of fire. Instead, they had already infiltrated close behind these armed men!
So, when Lu Ting heard Ghost's words and responded accordingly, the sound of gunfire in the background became so pronounced.
By this time, several minutes had passed since Soap, Yuri, and the Roach threw those smoke grenades. The white smoke created by the grenades was slowly dissipating due to the constant attacks by the armed men.
The young head man holding the walkie-talkie had his eyes fixed tightly on the open area not far in front of him, commanding, "Stop! Everyone, stop!"
As his command echoed in the ears of the armed men at each position, the intense gunfire that had been echoing throughout the entire park gradually began to diminish until it completely disappeared.
As the intense gunfire ceased, the young head man could gradually see clearly what was happening in the open area.
After the smoke cleared, besides various traces of bombardment, there was nothing else in that open area—no people or objects whatsoever!
Not to mention those mercenaries, even their shadows were nowhere to be seen by the young head man at this moment!
This scene instantly made him realize that they had fallen into a trap set by those mercenaries! It seemed they had already known that he was leading his men through this necessary passage to the rear gate and had set up an ambush. Therefore, they deliberately created the illusion of being deceived, forcing him and his men to reveal their positions!
Thinking of this, a very bad feeling arose in the young head man's heart, causing his entire body to break out in a cold sweat.
Before he could give the order to retreat, he suddenly heard a lot of heavy objects breaking through the window glass in the hidden room where they were hiding.
*Bam!*
*Bam!*
*Bam!*
Behind these armed men, several unidentified canisters were thrown in from outside. They flew through the air in a perfect arc and landed precisely behind the group of armed men.
*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...*
The next second, an extremely stimulating gas gushed continuously from these unidentified canisters. In just a few seconds, the entire room was filled with a stimulating odor that made tears gather in the eyes.
*Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!*
Immediately after, sounds of coughing from the armed men within the smoke, caused by the irritating gas, along with curses due to their excessive panic, echoed out.
"It's tear gas! Get out of here!"
"They're actually using such inhumane weapons! Damn it!"
*Cough, cough, I can't take it anymore! I can't breathe! Hurry up and leave!"
Indeed,
at this moment, the canisters thrown into the hiding place of the armed men by Lu Ting and Price contained a large amount of tear gas concentrated several times over, mixed with an incredibly spicy pepper scent!
Without gas masks, not only would inhaling it cause one to 'cry and snivel' with just one breath, but even direct contact with the skin would cause intense pain!
The tear gas grenades continuously released their full power, and the armed men without gas masks immediately let go of their guns, one after another, covering their mouths and noses, trying to resist the attack of the irritating odor!
Including the young head man and all the armed men hidden in this room, they all felt that if they didn't leave now, they would probably suffocate to death!
And how could Lu Ting, Price, Roach, and Nikolai, who had long been guarding the other side of this room, let them leave so easily?
Seeing this, after exchanging a glance, the four of them pulled out their M57 Mini Hand Grenades with remarkable tacit understanding. They quickly removed the safety pins and threw the grenades into the room.
These armed men were in a state of panic, so when the four M57 Mini Hand Grenades were thrown in, none of them noticed at all.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat."
After throwing the M57 Mini Hand Grenades into the room, Lu Ting immediately gestured to Price, Roach, and Nikolai to retreat.
Given the size of this room, the blast range of four M57 Mini Hand Grenades was enough to kill everyone inside!
Therefore, Lu Ting didn't need to wait for the M57 Mini Hand Grenades to explode before entering the room to finish off anyone remaining.
