Just as Lu Ting, Price's team, Roach, and Nikolai withdrew, a thunderous explosion sounded not far behind them.
However, this intense explosion did not make Lu Ting and the others pause their steps at all!
When they finished off the enemies on this side and arrived next to Wang Tianyu, he was completely stunned.
"You guys..."
"You're... done already?!"
Wang Tianyu, who had been hiding in a metal barrel, looked at Lu Ting and the others who had returned to his side in just a few minutes, feeling somewhat unreal.
You see, just three or four minutes ago, when the four of them had led him to hide behind the enemy lines, Wang Tianyu felt like it had been only moments ago?
And that's not counting the time when Wang Tianyu, extremely unwillingly, argued with Lu Ting about being concealed in this barrel.
But looking at the current situation, such a short battle time seemed unnecessary to tether himself like an accessory.
When Lu Ting heard Wang Tianyu's questioning tone and gaze, he calmly retorted, "Then what else?"
He had said long ago that under no circumstances would these armed men be a match for him and the other members of Task Force 141.
Wang Tianyu: "..."
Fine!
He conceded! Isn't that enough?!
You guys are awesome!
Glancing at Wang Tianyu, who was still dazed inside the barrel, Lu Ting spoke, "Are you not coming out yet? Should I invite you?"
At this point, Wang Tianyu, already speechless from Lu Ting's sharp tongue, merely changed his expression slightly upon hearing Lu Ting's words, then pushed his hands against the edge of the barrel and jumped out.
He just sprained his foot a bit upon landing, which prompted nearby Roach and Nikolai to chuckle involuntarily.
"Ha ha ha! Laugh if you want!"
Seeing their teasing expressions, Wang Tianyu couldn't help but grumble in his mother tongue. Wasn't it normal for an injured person to have some difficulty moving?
Lu Ting didn't bother with Wang Tianyu's nonsense. His gaze turned to the other side where Sleepy, Soap, and Yuri were responsible.
He spoke on the public communication channel, "Soap, is everything cleared on your end?"
Upon receiving Lu Ting's inquiry, Sleepy had already aimed his dark pistol barrel at the forehead of the last armed man and pulled the trigger!
Bang!
Seeing this, Soap immediately responded, "Commander, all done here. You guys retreat first, we're coming right away!"
Upon hearing Soap's precise reply, Lu Ting wasted no time. He turned back, gestured to Price's team, Roach, and Nikolai. The four of them swiftly moved towards the large breach blown open in the park's rear gate.
Although they had eliminated all the armed men ambushing on both sides of this open area, it didn't rule out the possibility of other armed men rushing over after noticing.
So, at this moment, the sooner they left, the less trouble Lu Ting wanted to stir up.
While Lu Ting and his team cautiously and swiftly moved towards the rear gate of the park, Sleepy, Soap, and Yuri, who had withdrawn later, also quickly caught up.
"What a letdown!"
"So disappointing!"
Soap, who reunited with Price's team and others, couldn't help but start complaining about the combat effectiveness of these so-called armed men.
Where were these armed men?
Clearly just a bunch of fools holding guns!
And upon hearing his words, Roach and Nikolai also showed undeniable expressions, clearly also disdainful of the combat effectiveness of these armed men.
Before they found Commander Lu Ting, they had a brief scuffle with them, and these armed men really thought they were tough!
Not only were they not convinced, they even tried to fight back!
Can this be tolerated?
Just wipe them all out in one go!
Just as Lu Ting and his team retreated with Wang Tianyu towards the rear gate of the park, the Phantom, who had been hiding on the high point of the opposite ridge all along, also captured the figures of the group through the high-powered scope on his Russell R93 tactical sniper rifle.
Seeing that they had all withdrawn without any losses, Phantom's heart also completely relaxed.
Immediately, he heard Lu Ting's command through his earpiece.
"Phantom, you can withdraw now."
Upon hearing Lu Ting's words, Phantom first glanced behind them. Seeing that no one was chasing after them, he replied, "Roger that."
As he spoke, he swiftly lifted the camouflage cloth covering him, slung the Russell R93 tactical sniper rifle behind his back, and quickly moved down the slope towards the agreed retreat point downhill.
At the same time, on the side of the Mei Lock Special Zone, by the Moei River, Xiao Miao, who was sent by Chen Yaoguang to observe the situation across the river with binoculars, suddenly saw through his night vision binoculars figures emerging from the rear door area of the "KK" scam park, retreating together.
Their movements were swift, immediately rolling down to the less visible reverse slope. Their next actions clearly aimed to cross this bare area and reach the banks of the Moei River.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Miao immediately understood that Lu Ting and his team had returned!
Immediately, he took out his walkie-talkie and reported to Chen Yaoguang, "Captain Chen, they're back!"
Xiao Miao's voice couldn't hide his excitement and exhilaration. It was hard to imagine that they had actually rescued people from the "KK" scam park, known as a living hell on earth!
Upon hearing Xiao Miao's report while waiting in the car, Chen Yaoguang, who usually maintained a calm and composed demeanor, couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on her face. However, she hadn't forgotten Lu Ting's instructions!
Previously, he had mentioned the need for an armed boat capable of self-defense to go to the banks of the Moei River to pick them up, to prevent armed militants from chasing them even after rescuing the hostages.
Within a minute of Chen Yaoguang sending a message to Hong Bureau, she had already received a reply. The message naturally stated that he had communicated with the Thailand International Police, who promised to dispatch officers from the nearest branch to assist as quickly as possible.
Just a few minutes before Xiao Miao reported the situation to her, the Thailand police boat had already docked in a concealed location, ready to cross the river to rendezvous with Lu Ting and his team as soon as Chen Yaoguang gave them the signal!
Following this, after checking the time on her wristwatch, Chen Yaoguang continued to speak to her subordinate Xiao Miao, "In another ten minutes, send the boat over to shore to meet them."
"Yes, Captain Chen!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Miao, stationed to observe the situation across the Moei River, quickly responded.
Sitting in the car, Chen Yaoguang's gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction across the Moei River, wondering if they could safely bring the people out from the northern Myanmar region; it all depended on this final stretch!
Meanwhile, inside the "KK" scam park, news of the situation where the underlings led by the junior leader were ambushed and turned into the ones being killed quickly spread throughout the entire scam park!
As other armed men rushed over from elsewhere, all they could see was a terrifying scene of their comrades being completely wiped out.
Especially in the room bombed by Lu Ting with the M57 small steel cannon grenade, the sight caused even the armed militants, who were accustomed to scenes of killing, to involuntarily experience physical reactions of nausea.
"Captain."
At this moment, one of the armed men who had been stationed at another exit and had just rushed over, looked at his equally pale-faced captain and asked, "Should we... send someone to pursue them?!"
Upon hearing his subordinate's question, the captain in charge of the team immediately gave him a disdainful glance. Could he not see the situation clearly?!
They were simply no match for these ruthless mercenaries, okay?! Pursue them?!
What's the point?
To die?!
The junior leader is dead, his underling Ah Cai is also dead. With no one left in the park to give orders, those who worked under them naturally pretended they hadn't been involved.
Anyway, in the end, even if the higher-ups blame anyone, they'll only blame the inadequacy of the deceased junior leader. How could they blame those who just followed orders?
However, appearances still need to be maintained.
"Just like this."
Thinking this, the squad leader among the armed men immediately instructed his men beside him, "Take two people and go after them. Just pretend and block them briefly."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate was momentarily stunned. But after realizing what was going on, he immediately nodded in agreement and swiftly turned to do as the squad leader had said.
At this moment, Lu Ting and the members of Task Force 141 had already left their position on the reverse slope of the park and were retreating in two separate teams.
Price, Nikolai, and Roach were tasked with escorting Wang Tianyu to the bank of the Moei River, while Lu Ting, along with Soap, Sandman, Yuri, and Phantom, were conducting rear-guard actions.
Although they had indeed dealt with many armed militants in the recent engagement, once other militants discovered the situation, they would undoubtedly send pursuit. Thus, someone had to cover the rear of their team.
Sure enough,
When Soap slowed down again, turned around with his night vision binoculars to observe the rear door area of the park, he immediately saw a squad of armed militants pouring out from there.
Clearly, they were coming after them!
However, Soap was dismissive of the situation. He even spoke disdainfully, "Just a few people like this?!"
As he said this, his gaze involuntarily scanned behind the squad of armed militants, checking if there were any other teams following them.
Unfortunately, no other armed militants appeared.
Seeing this, Soap's expression became even more contemptuous. These armed militants were already weak in strength. Now they only sent one squad to chase them?
These armed militants were confident in their own abilities?
Were they not scared off by them?
Upon hearing Soap's words, Sandman also flashed a meaningful smile and said, "Is there a possibility that there are only so few armed militants left in the park?"
To be honest, since they had engaged these armed militants in combat in the rear door area of the park, quite a number of armed militants had fallen to Task Force 141's members' gunfire.
Not to mention hundreds, but at least a dozen or so!
"I think"
At this moment, Lu Ting, who was at the forefront of the team, casually spoke up, "I actually think they're more afraid of us and dare not pursue!"
"Sending this squad is just for show!"
Upon hearing this, Soap, Yuri, and Sandman immediately turned to look back. They saw that after chasing a short distance from the rear door of the park, the squad of armed militants had stopped without any intention to continue pursuing.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Soap couldn't help but snort disdainfully. "They know what's good for them. Otherwise, if they really came after us, they'd only end up dead!"
Although they were currently in an open and deserted area without suitable cover, which indeed posed a challenge to Task Force 141's members, it was a minor issue!
Even in this disadvantaged position, the members of Task Force 141 still had absolute confidence in their ability to successfully eliminate these armed militants.
Although everyone agreed with Soap's words, when they saw his smug look, Yuri couldn't help but sarcastically comment, "Are you unable to stop showing off? It's one thing to do it in front of us normally, but now you're even doing it in front of the commander?!"
Soap: "..."
No, wasn't he telling the truth?
Why does it seem like showing off
Seeing that these two 'fire and water' people were about to start arguing again, Lu Ting immediately smiled and changed the subject, "Alright, you two, stop the nonsense. Since they're not pursuing, let's hurry up and leave."
And when the commander said this, Soap and Yuri didn't dare to defy him?
So, the two quickly shut their mouths and obediently followed Lu Ting towards the bank of the Moei River.
At the same time, Price, Nikolai, and Roach, who had set off earlier to escort Wang Tianyu, were now only a hundred meters away from the bank of the Moei River.
Whooom! —
Just then, from the nearby Moei River, there came the roaring sound of engines approaching closer and closer!
