Chereads / My Agent Chronicles / Chapter 16 - Confluence

Chapter 16 - Confluence

 No, why would I think of her again at a time like this. Something wasn't right.

 I returned my attention. The two kids were close enough, but they still hadn't spotted either of them hidden amongst the fence.

 "Easy ...," Jihan said with a hint of hesitation and a sob.

 "Lao Gu." Liang Dong forced himself to be calm, a discerning person could detect the panic within him.

 "Captain." Luo Bing paused for a moment, then never spoke again full of blankness.

 I made a decision.

 With a heartbeat, I pulled the trigger, the silencer let out a monotonous thud, and the bullet instantly arrived and hit the highway in front of them, a small handful of dust flying.

 The two kids reacted very differently: the older one sprinted straight down, while the younger one's hands shook and the rifle fell out of his arms and onto the ground. He scurries to pick it up.

 "Don't do that ...," I muttered, letting out a groan-like sigh.

 Another round fired hits between him and the rifle, and the kid finally notices that someone is warning him, too scared to move in place. I fire another round and it hits the front of his big toe.

 He freaked out and sat back on his butt, then darted without looking back the way he came. The older kid took one look at us and went after him.

 I breathed a sigh of relief. When I looked back, I realized that the older one had leveled his rifle and started aiming.

 Could it be that ...

 That instant I heard my voice tearing out, "Make him stop!"

 Despite the fact that a 4.3-kilogram AK47 was too heavy for a twelve-year-old kid and his hands were shaking when he lifted it; despite the fact that the recoil of the guided-air principle was so huge that his frame was completely unable to withstand it, he fired the last few shots of his life.

 Between the flames of the gun, blood was constantly blooming like a flower.

 The next moment Liang Dong's bullets flew to, he fell to the ground and his own companion like a new round of victims, waiting for the flies to love.

 Two men were dead, both dead.

 Liang Dong said very, very slowly, "It's out of our hands."

 Half an hour ago, Jiang Li had said the same thing.

 We can't manage.

 Silence coalesced bit by bit among the group, so oppressive that one could barely breathe. Ji Ling's communication call broke the silence, "The first group arrived, the second group is coming over."

 Ji Han and Luo Bing were lifted from their alert status, and Liang Dong and I kept our original postures motionless. Luo Bing said to me seriously, "Captain, you're a good person."

 Me: ???? How many times does the good guy card mean?

 "Call me if you need me, I've left two pieces of C4 down there, definitely letting you go without pain."

 Dare I say this girl just thinks I'm cool for sure right?

 I shooed her away, "Go go go don't curse labor."

 "We've seen them." Lu Evening Qing reported to me, "The neighborhood is safe. It looks like the enemy hasn't noticed us yet."

 "Speed up." I reply, "We have someone approaching here."

 "140 meters, 7 people, advancing slowly." Liang said, "They've already found the two bodies."

 "Yeah?" I pulled out my binoculars, "Let me take a look."

 The slow-moving seven-man squad with high firepower configuration and a cautious pace received training, if I were to engage them there's no way I'd be able to use someone as a target as I did earlier. There are three RPD machine guns in the enemy, they can easily approach us if they take turns in suppressing fire.

 The man in the lead was holding a mini Uzi to scout the way, and within a few steps he started checking the ground for a mine layout. The weapon armed by what appeared to be the squad leader was an RPK judging by the heavy barrel, but utilized thirty-round magazines for AK47s and AKMs.

There is also a precision shooter in the group armed with an FN FAL, which judging by the getup and configuration is probably a last century vintage, with an ancient PSO-1 optical scope above it.

From the other party's performance it seems that they are only trained but not as professional as mercenaries, or else they wouldn't have reached this distance and still haven't discovered our presence, so there are only two kinds of people who would show up in this situation: one, the elite troops of the local tribes and warlords; and two, the rebel government forces.

There are almost no veterans on the battlefields of Acrea. Their abilities brought them prestige and status, and consequently brought them into the ruling class.

Even though I know that the other side is only half-assed I still refuse to engage them. I'm a half-wit too.

"Watch it." I crouch low and try to cover myself up as much as possible as I tiptoe around and start moving.

Following Jiang Li Low's instruction I began to search for grenades from the pile of corpses, and then placed a body on the aisle that must be passed through the entrance, the grenades were placed in a cluster pressed under the body. After the jungle battle after the mandatory piano wire played the role of pull fuse, the body and grenade combination, as long as someone moves the body will trigger the grenade firing pin.

As for the explosion time depends on the face, between 3.5 seconds to 4 seconds.

Liang Dong, who watched the whole process from the side, staggered, "Your hand is really black, I ..."

"Don't bb any morals with me."

"I also want to learn."

"Jiang Li taught me."

Jiang Li happened to interrupt our conversation, "The second group has arrived."

"Roger that. Luo Bing if you hear an explosion detonate the C4."

"Captain are you and Liang Dong going to die for us?"

"Yes ... I yuck!"

Liang Dong and I advanced through the clearing in an alternating cover formation, and there were still bushes blazing in many places. Under Lu Evening Qing's remote voice guidance we gradually bypassed the fires that might reveal our position.

The continuous sound of explosions came from behind, and after listening to it all night I found myself becoming immune to it.

Eventually Liang Dong and I reached a four-meter high fence, and Jiling Jihan joined forces to pull Liang Dong in first then me.

The mayor's mansion was dark, it was dilapidated but looking was you could tell that the once gilded splendor had left traces of its time here. The area I entered looked to be the area next to the swimming pool, the guards had cut out firing holes in the walls, and right next to where I entered was a shiny M240B squad general purpose machine gun with three of its matching 100 ammo boxes.

"Sir." A grizzled man came over and shook my hand, "Deputy Squad Leader of 16th Squad, B Academy, Kazuki Sato."

"Squad 072, Class 4, Academy A, Gu Prowler."

The pressure of the defense zone here does not fight, otherwise it would not have been given to the B Yard.The B Yard and the A Yard have different standards, adopting the United States of America Army Marine Corps configuration, with thirteen people in a group, two groups in a squad, and each squad is commonly equipped with two M16A4 rifles and two M240B general-purpose machine guns. Although it is not A courtyard special operations squad weapon configuration, but meet the ordinary enemy B courtyard combat power is still more than enough, after all, when the B courtyard recruitment criteria is combat-ready personnel.

Noticing this I was surprised, I remembered that all the classes in B Academy were carrying standard anti-tank weapons, but I didn't see any.
