The Jeep pressed over the rugged mountain road, leaving deep tracks wherever it went. Such tracks would surely attract the attention of the bandits and lead them in pursuit.
But there were simply too many Jeeps, and not enough manpower to erase the tire marks behind us.
In such exceptional circumstances, they had no other choice but to grit their teeth and keep moving forward.
They hadn’t driven far when the sounds of pursuit caught up with them from behind, and there was no need to guess—it had to be those weapons dealers!
Now, there were only two options: either fight head-on or keep escaping.
"Earl, what do we do?" Faced with such a critical question, they all turned to Li Yan, hoping he could provide a solution.
"Keep going forward!"
The relentless pursuit of these weapons dealers was clearly deliberate provocation. It was evident that their goal was to force the trainees to launch an attack.
But they were unfamiliar with the road ahead and uncertain if it was safe. If they chose to get off immediately, they might fall into the bandits’ ambush.
"Sniper team, prepare to snipe from inside the vehicle. Shoot to kill if you spot any enemies!"
Li Yan issued the order once more, but this time through the internal communication line within the vehicle! The bandits had already launched an attack, and they had no reason not to retaliate.
While ensuring their own safety, they also needed to take the initiative to attack. The snipers were now in the best position to apply their skills.
"Yes!" The Remote Electromagnetic Device squad received the order immediately, delegating tasks: "Prepare to aim and shoot at eight o’clock and six o’clock directions!"
"Yes!" Everyone acknowledged the orders.
Members of the sniper squads were in the third and fourth cars in the middle. They were also elites from the Academy, rich in experience against such mobile battles.
"Target is moving, prepare to shoot at three o’clock direction!"
The well-trained sniper squad began a fierce attack, ready to strike at any moment, not giving the bandits any chance to resist, indicating a tendency to capture them in one go.
The symphony of crossfire and smoke erupted; the concerto of Artifact Fire had finally begun. Yet for every trainee, this was a daunting and heavy existence.
Slaughter, death, blood, eternal synonyms, were the brutal realities they were about to face.
Gu Tong rested her chin on her hand, watching Li Yunping and Xie Yongfei, huddled together like a pack. Truly, she wondered, how could two grown men be so scared?
Thinking back to her first time on the battlefield, she wasn’t that fearful at all.
"Brothers, you’re overreacting," Gu Tong teased.
The two looked at Gu Tong as if seeing a monster...
Li Yunping swallowed, speaking in a trembling voice, "Tong... aren’t you scared?"
After asking this, he wished he could slap himself. No matter how he looked, Gu Tong didn’t show any sign of fear, especially those smiling eyes, revealing she was a veteran of the battlefield.
"Scared? Of course I’m scared," Gu Tong replied lazily, leaning back in her chair, yet her words stood in stark contrast.
They didn’t believe it at all, no way...
"Tong, what are you afraid of?" Li Yunping asked, his mouth unrestrained. Deep down, he hoped Gu Tong feared something, so they wouldn’t seem too cowardly.
But on second thought, two tall men almost crawling under the seats, really shameful...
