Chapter 487: One Hundred Throat Slittings!
"Brothers, charge with me—we must save Instructor Lin at all costs!" Xia Yong’s eyes were red with fury, bloodshot from the strain, as he yelled with all his might and charged toward the village some five to six hundred meters away.
Lin Feng absolutely could not come to harm, for one, he was the brigade commander’s brother-in-law. If something like this happened right after his arrival in the Golden Triangle, there would be no way to explain it to the commander upon returning. However, Xia Yong quickly considered another aspect. Given that Lin Feng had demonstrated so many incredible feats within the military camp, and his speed had been so astonishing just now, it was possible for Lin Feng to escape from this situation. Although the hope was faint, as long as there was hope, they could not give up!
Moreover, everyone was counting on Lin Feng to teach them how to become stronger, to become true powerhouses. Such hope must not be shattered. Now, Xia Yong had made a decision in his heart: he must find Lin Feng alive or dead; he would not leave this place otherwise!
Seeing Captain Xia Yong give the command, the other team members promptly shouldered their weapons and charged after Xia Yong into the village below. None of them could believe that the formidable Lin Feng could be killed by a single bomb. Everyone was still looking forward to learning how to become stronger from Lin Feng...
Before long, the group had reached the village where the explosion had occurred. They started to search for any clues, covering for each other. After establishing a secure lookout, Xia Yong and two others began frantically digging through the crater created by the explosion, hoping to find the injured Lin Feng, or...
But just as everyone’s hearts were set on Lin Feng and fully focused on his rescue, suddenly, many figures appeared from the ground outside the village!
"Take cover!"
The lookout spotted the unexpected situation and immediately yelled out, moving to the side of a nearby building corner, firing at the emerging figures from a distance.
"Da da... da da... da da..."
Xia Yong and the two others, who had been searching for Lin Feng, heard the alert and immediately abandoned the thought of continuing the rescue. They tucked and rolled to the side of a building, covering for one another. Just as they reached the side of the house, they heard rustling from behind and didn’t hesitate to open fire in that direction.
"Da da... da da... da da..."
Suddenly, gunfire erupted from the left, and someone immediately took position to block the enemy on that side.
"Da da... da da... da da da..."
In that moment, Point Team One realized the situation—they were trapped, the enemies awaiting Lin Feng and their company. The situation was dire, and finding cover was imperative. With this in mind, Xia Yong spotted a window above them and, without a word, hurled a grenade inside.
"Boom!"
The grenade exploded, sending the wooden window flying with the blast wave.
"Into the house, quick!" Xia Yong shouted, firing his gun to cover his teammates. They slipped through the window one by one, orderly and without panic, returning fire to protect the remaining members until Captain Xia Yong himself leaped through the window last.
"Zhou Dao, you three head to the upstairs window. Take out the enemy snipers first, and the rest stay downstairs. One person cover each direction, watch your areas, and don’t let the enemy break through. Conserve ammunition; we don’t know how many of them there are. First priority, take out those with heavy weapons; we can’t afford to have the house compromised. Otherwise, we’ll all be in real danger!"
As soon as Xia Yong entered the house, he started giving orders and delegating tasks. Surrounded and trapped, they had no choice but to adopt a defensive position. The enemy was on every side, too close for any thought of breaking out. Their only option now was to wait until dark for a chance to act.
"Yes!"
Zhou Dao and the two others responded in unison, carefully drawing their pistols and moving upstairs. They weren’t sure what awaited them but knew better not to rush blindly. Once upstairs, they found it empty. Each chose a position and began to shift around, seeking the enemy snipers and heavy gunners as per Xia Yong’s orders.
Everyone took up their assigned positions according to Xia Yong’s instructions, concentrating on defending their posts.
Outside the window, bullets hit the exposed panes like raindrops, making it nearly impossible to raise their heads. The forces from the Golden Triangle, under such intense firepower, wanted to rush the house and eliminate those inside. To Ruan Tiansheng’s men, who attacked the Golden Triangle, there was only one perspective—kill. Battle-hardened by constant gunfire, they fought fiercely, spending bullets as if they were free, all for the sake of killing the invaders, regardless of the amount of ammunition used.
Under such circumstances, Xia Yong and his men inside the house were in a dire state. They could barely peek out, let alone return fire. Watching the enemy slowly approach was excruciating, leaving them only moments to fire a quick shot from the windows or throw a grenade at those approaching—the explosions effectively halting the advance. However, they all knew that their supply of grenades was limited; time was running out.
Seeing this, Xia Yong was equally anxious and out of options. They were completely surrounded, daylight prevented any escape, and he was desperately concerned for his comrades. If they couldn’t find a solution soon, all his brothers might be left behind...
All this was being watched from a distance by Lin Feng. He hadn’t taken action initially because he wasn’t sure if the enemy had more traps in store. Once he saw that all their forces had been mobilized and that Xia Yong’s team was barely holding on, and heard reinforcements were on the way, Lin Feng shook his head. He decided it was time to eliminate these enemies first.
With that thought, Lin Feng sprang into action, moving like a phantom, gliding past the enemies who were fiercely engaged in gunfire.
"Swoosh..."
What just happened?
Ghosts?
What was that thing?
...
As Ruan Jun’s men from the Golden Triangle were enjoying their shooting spree, they suddenly felt a strange breeze drift by, puzzling them all. What on earth was it? But as they were still wondering, they suddenly felt a chill on their necks.
"Pfft..."
"Pfft..."
"Pfft..."
...
Suddenly, the enemies encircling the house where Captain Xia Yong and his men were trapped, all had blood spraying from their necks; their heads tilted and they made no more sound, dead. The storm of gunfire that had been raging died down instantly, replaced only by the sound of blood flowing...
Upon hearing the abrupt cessation of gunfire outside, Xia Yong and the others didn’t have time to ponder; they swiftly moved to the windows to shoot down those approaching the house. But after they had finished, they discovered something utterly terrifying and understood why the intense gunfire had stopped. Every single enemy machine gunner had been throat-slit, and around the perimeter of the house lay a complete circle of enemies who had died the same way, their blood even forming a red circle around the house that was besieging them.
My God!
What exactly happened here?
How were they all throat-slit, nearly a hundred people, all of a sudden!
...
The soldiers from the vanguard squad, witnessing such an inconceivable scene, were all dumbstruck. The spectacle before their eyes was simply too hard to believe. While killing a hundred people wasn’t a difficult task, doing so silently, killing all of those who had formed a siege without a single noise, was too strange and impossible to comprehend...
What... What exactly happened here? Who killed these people?
The only thought in everyone’s mind now was to understand what had just happened!
"Stop dawdling and follow me; their reinforcements will be here any minute." Lin Feng suddenly appeared not far off, shouting to the men inside the house led by Xia Yong, signaling them to follow him quickly and leave, as things would become even more troublesome when the enemy’s backup arrived.
My God! He’s not dead!
How did he do it?
This can’t be; this can’t be!
...
Seeing Lin Feng not far away, Xia Yong and the others were beyond shocked. They had no words to describe it, because no one could have imagined that the intense explosion just a moment ago hadn’t harmed Lin Feng at all. Moreover, his clothes weren’t even scratched. They had watched with their own eyes as he walked into that big house, and they had witnessed the house exploding, which was why they had all rushed here regardless of anything...
Now, they all understood who had killed those people outside, their throats slit. It must have all been done by Lin Feng alone. Otherwise, no one could have accomplished such a baffling feat, slitting the throats of a hundred men in the blink of an eye. Was he even human? Even the ghosts spoken of in legends weren’t as formidable!
Everyone couldn’t help but think of one problem: If Lin Feng were an enemy, they would surely end up just like those men, all throat-slit, because with Lin Feng’s incredible speed, all forms of defense were as weak as paper, easily torn, absolutely indefensible. Now, they all felt fortunate that Lin Feng wasn’t an enemy, or the consequences would be unimaginable!
Watching Lin Feng from a distance, everyone no longer saw him as just another person. They finally understood what he meant when he said they were too weak. Compared to Lin Feng, they, who had thought themselves so mighty, seemed less capable than even kindergarten children. Therefore, it was only natural for Lin Feng to have said they were too weak, but at that time, no one believed that someone as young as Lin Feng could be such a freak of nature! His level completely surpassed common understanding, leaving them all at a loss for words!
Even more, everyone harbored a thought: If possible, they wanted to follow Lin Feng for the rest of their lives and become a Super Powerhouse just like him!
