"Captain, the Navy has already started their attack."
A steady report came from the wireless walkie-talkie, seemingly unflustered by the Navy’s head start.
The man’s voice, chilling with intimidation, commanded, "Wait."
All the strategies had been set, ready for an ambush.
Before long, Willie Ash who had set off to survey the situation at the foot of the mountain returned, a look of worry on his face. "Captain, we’re setting them up. Won’t they turn against us?"
Their mission was to rescue the hostages and only by bringing them back to their campsite would it truly be a success.
The Navy followed strict moral and ethical codes, doing everything by the book, quite unlike the cunning strategies they were used to pulling off. In Glenn Hutchinson’s plan, there was never any intention of directly rescuing the hostage; the plan was to intercept them halfway.
For them, this was routine. However, for that group of "righteous" Navy, this might set them off.
Glenn Hutchinson’s gaze swept over him, then spoke slowly and deliberately: "They will."
Willie Ash was taken aback.
But considering, they’d made enemies out of countless forces, including many confrontations with the Marine Corps, deepening this conflict was trivial.
Victors write history, right?
Although they were only undergoing sea training, they didn’t need to fear anyone even when treading on others’ territory.
"Captain, the Navy’s lost their cool," soon, another message resounded from the walkie-talkie, confusing this time, "two female soldiers ’killed’ the hostage before they could."
"The rookies?"
Willie Ash was surprised, instinctively recalling the female soldier from earlier in the day who had taken out a sniper. He suddenly felt a bit more calm.
Ignoring his query, the voice from the walkie-talkie continued, "What should we do now?"
Under Glenn Hutchinson’s pondering gaze, his brows rose slightly. His voice was deep and powerful, brooking no doubt.
"Eliminate all of them."
Arrogant, domineering.
Yet all the team members who heard this command were not surprised.
Since there are no hostages, we’ll obliterate all of you.
This is their usual mode of operation.
Willie Ash by the side rubbed his nose, his eyes filled with mirth, reflecting the moonlight, it seemed like it would be more fun without hostages.
The ghosts hiding in the dark sprung into action instantly at Glenn Hutchinson’s command, no further orders needed.
Guns fired methodically in the dark night, soldier after soldier in plain sight was dealt with. In the blink of an eye, lives were taken, none had time to react before they met their ’end’.
Moonlight bathed the mountain slope in tranquil light.
Flossie Wright and Janice Wood, following a previously planned route, safely ran out of the besieged circle.
"Let’s take a break."
Janice Wood, wiping sweat off her face, suggested. She could still endure, but she knew that Flossie Wright was almost out of stamina.
Flossie Wright didn’t object, but she never relaxed her grip on the gun. A few seconds later, her eyes narrowed as she scanned the tree suspiciously.
"Who’s there!"
Her command echoed, coldly chilling.
Janice Wood jumped in shock.
The person hidden in the darkness hesitated slightly in pulling the trigger due to the surprise.
The sniper rifle was unexpectedly silent; a sudden gunshot sounded from below.
At the same time, a stone next to Janice Wood’s foot splashed up, fragments hitting her leg painfully. She cried out and couldn’t keep her balance, she toppled over towards Flossie Wright—
Below was a steep slope, the path under their feet was narrow.
Caught off guard, Flossie Wright was pushed by Janice Wood’s force. Already standing at the edge, she, with no protection, suddenly fell down the slope.
GLenn Hutchinson, who had just looked up when he heard the noise, saw the figure falling from above, his eyes instantly plunged into ice-cold depths.
