Chapter 35: Taking on the Thunder Combat Team Single-Handedly
The jungle where Thunder God and his team were hiding.
At this moment.
Thunder God, King of Hell, Little Bee, and the others all felt an overwhelming sense of frustration and helplessness.
“Old Fox, are we really doing the right thing hiding here?” Thunder God finally could not hold back and spoke out, clearly upset. “If this gets out, won’t it be a disgrace to the Thunder Strike Team?”
Thunder God was referring to the plan of lying in ambush within the jungle, waiting for Qin Yuan.
This plan—
Had been proposed by Old Fox.
At the beginning,
Everyone weighed the pros and cons.
So—
They agreed to this proposal.
With the goal of remaining undefeated,
To preserve the glory of themselves and the Thunder Strike Team.
Otherwise—
If they encountered Qin Yuan and got defeated,
The Thunder Strike Team’s reputation would be utterly ruined,
Becoming a laughingstock among other special forces units.
Therefore,
After careful deliberation,
Everyone consented to Old Fox’s suggestion to lie in wait in the jungle.
If Qin Yuan passed through this area,
Wouldn’t they be the ones to profit?
This would greatly increase the chances of killing Qin Yuan.
Old Fox smiled knowingly and said, “Thunder God, we are the Thunder Strike Team, Wolf Fang’s elite ace! What sounds better, missing the target or being defeated by a rookie?”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately found wisdom in his words.
As long as they were not defeated,
No one would doubt the strength of the Thunder Strike Team.
However,
If they fell into Qin Yuan’s ambush and the Thunder Strike Team was shattered and disgraced,
Such a loss—
No one could afford.
After all,
The fame of Thunder Strike was built by the blood and sweat of two generations of assault team members.
“But Old Fox, just lying here waiting to deal with a rookie—winning wouldn’t even be honorable!” Thunder God still felt deeply uneasy.
There was no way around it.
First, this wasn’t their style.
Second, even if they won against a rookie, it wouldn’t be glorious.
“Thunder God, this isn’t about glory right now; it’s about preserving the Thunder Strike Team’s reputation!” Old Fox glared and earnestly reminded him.
Yet—
At that moment,
Rat-a-tat-tat!
The sound of a 95 rifle rang out!
In a single burst—
Four bullets fired!
In an instant,
Old Fox, Little Bee, and King of Hell were struck in the head.
A thick yellow smoke billowed from their bodies!
In a flash,
The three were dumbfounded and speechless.
Especially Old Fox.
He widened his eyes, utterly incredulous. “W-what’s going on? I—I, just got eliminated just like that?”
King of Hell was even more shocked, unable to utter a word.
As the Thunder Strike Team’s sniper,
His position—
Was considered the best in the entire unit!
Yet unexpectedly,
He was eliminated too?
And almost at the same time as Old Fox?
In an instant,
King of Hell’s mind raced.
“I, Old Fox, and Little Bee arranged in a ‘product’ shape formation! Only a handful of shots could hit all three of us simultaneously!” King of Hell quickly began counter-surveillance.
Though he was now down,
It didn’t stop him from trying to locate Qin Yuan's position as an excellent sniper.
“Got it! Right here!”
King of Hell’s gaze scanned swiftly, leveraging the advantageous terrain to spot a trembling branch.
Faintly,
He even saw a figure running at high speed.
King of Hell felt like he’d found a treasure. “Report! Enemy moving at 60 degrees!”
He relayed Qin Yuan’s location through the comms.
“King of Hell, you’re already eliminated! Reporting enemy position now is against the rules!”
At the moment the three were eliminated,
Thunder God was stunned.
He never dreamed the enemy would take out three of them with such ease—
Like eating or drinking water.
The opponent’s strength was simply overwhelming.
Still in shock,
Thunder God was even more infuriated to hear King of Hell breaking the rules by reporting enemy positions.
Losing is losing, winning is winning.
If victory came through cheating,
he’d rather have no victory at all.
Because on the battlefield,
the dead don’t give warnings.
“Thunder God, I…” King of Hell faltered.
He suddenly remembered Thunder God’s sternness.
The Thunder Strike Team’s strength was not only due to each member’s prowess,
but also to Thunder God’s rigorous training and guidance.
Each mission, each real combat,
The reason they survived was largely thanks to Thunder God.
“Enough excuses! King of Hell, one day in solitary confinement when you return!” Thunder God said coldly.
Though he hated defeat,
he could face it with composure.
But—
If victory was won through dirty tricks,
he refused to accept it.
“Yes, Thunder God!”
King of Hell quickly nodded.
No one dared to provoke Thunder God when he was angry.
“Big Bull, Yuanbao, Harley!”
“Here!”
“Now only the four of us remain! Find good cover immediately! Don’t expose yourselves, got it?” Thunder Zhan barked orders through the comms.
“Yes, Thunder God!”
The three immediately tensed up.
No choice.
They had deeply felt the enemy’s ferocity.
Just chatting moments ago,
they never expected three of their comrades to be taken down like that.
This was unacceptable.
If they didn’t hide carefully,
they might not survive much longer.
The sky gradually brightened.
The fiery dawn illuminated the entire horizon.
But the hearts of Thunder God and his three comrades grew heavier.
There was no way around it.
At this moment—
Death seemed to loom over them.
Death was likely all that awaited.
In the jungle,
after much maneuvering,
Qin Yuan finally circled behind the four.
Upon reaching the most advantageous terrain,
Qin Yuan raised his gun, a radiant smile spreading across his face. “Harley, Yuanbao, Big Bull, go to hell!”
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Immediately,
Qin Yuan pulled the trigger.
In an instant,
the bullets seemed to have eyes of their own.
They flew directly toward the three behind cover.
The unprepared three were struck in the back of their heads, all eliminated.
“Damn!”
“Damn!”
“Damn!”
In an instant—
Three shocked exclamations rang out over the comms.
Harley, Yuanbao, and Big Bull stared wide-eyed,
faces full of disbelief.
Just like that, impossibly, they were eliminated?
Thick smoke billowed from their bodies.
Seeing this, Thunder God swallowed hard,
feeling cold sweat bead on his forehead.
Is this opponent—
really Qin Yuan?
This was terrifying beyond belief.
They hadn’t even glimpsed Qin Yuan’s shadow.
Now, the Thunder Strike Team was down to Thunder God alone.
How could they keep fighting?
Was there any point in continuing?
For a moment,
Thunder Zhan hesitated.
However—
Qin Yuan made no pause.
Within a 500-meter radius,
only Thunder God remained.
In an instant!!
The terrifying power in Qin Yuan’s legs exploded.
He became a sharp arrow, dashing rapidly toward Thunder God!
