On hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes suddenly widened as she turned to look at Quan Shaoqing.

The man’s back trembled for a moment, and his expression turned grave.

“Call team 2, team 3, team 4, report your status!”

At the same time, the reports from A2, A3, and A4 were identical.

“A5, report your status!” Quan Shaoqing calmed down and took a deep breath.

A5 had previously been dispatched by him to the front, lying in ambush at the entrance where the enemy was expected to enter, just in case.

“Report!

Under the three big banyan trees, enemy movements spotted, around thirty individuals with packs, awaiting orders from the superior officer!” A5 team leader’s voice rang out clearly.

Quan Shaoqing gave a cold snort!

His silhouette appeared even more resolute.

Gu Xiaoxi gasped, her heart shocked!

The enemy indeed should not be underestimated; they had used the first group as bait to set a trap for them.

Quan Shaoqing, almost without hesitation, ordered, “Observe whether the undercover agent with the white scarf is safe; we’re heading over immediately.

We’ll arrive in about ten minutes!

Keep watch on the enemy’s movements.

If the undercover agent is exposed, move out to intercept them immediately.”

Gu Xiaoxi lifted her eyes, looking towards the distance, the boundless night suddenly weighing heavy on her heart.

The enemy was indeed cunning, willing to sacrifice thirty of their own just to test them out.

War is indeed cruel!

Quan Shaoqing led his team towards the three big banyan trees.

Gu Xiaoxi silently followed, careful not to disturb him during this time.

After ten minutes of running three kilometers, according to Gu Xiaoxi’s observations, upon reaching their destination, the entire special forces team was still cool and composed, their hearts steady, not even their breathing was disordered.

One could not help but admire them; truly worthy of being the vanguard, they were really strong.

Quan Shaoqing led everyone to hide on a small hillock when the voice of A5’s team leader came again: “Report!

The undercover agent has been attacked and is injured!”

Quan Shaoqing immediately grabbed his binoculars and looked into the distance.

Gu Xiaoxi also picked up binoculars to look.

She saw the undercover agent severely injured, with blood streaming from the head, half the face stained red, one eye was already bruised, flesh blurred, especially the limbs having received heavy blows, the person was at death’s door, looking very badly wounded.

To Gu Xiaoxi’s surprise, the undercover agent, Number Seventeen, turned out to be a woman.

Her long black hair hung behind her head, and from her figure, she truly seemed to be a beauty, only now her face was unrecognizable.

Quan Shaoqing narrowed his eyes fiercely, “A5, surround them.

A1, A2, A3, A4, quietly find your positions; I want them all captured.”

As Quan Shaoqing finished speaking, A5 turned on the flashlight, and everyone quickly moved forward, confronting the enemy leaders at a distance of thirty meters.

“Release our person!” shouted the A5 team leader angrily.

The enemies were momentarily panicked, but they quickly regained composure, each raising their weapons to confront A5.

“Release her?

Hahaha!

How could that be possible?” sneered the leader of the enemies, pointing behind him, “The land behind me no longer falls under your jurisdiction!

As long as I leave this place, you can’t do anything to me.

Even if I kill her, what can you do?”

Unsatisfied with his own words, he brandished the knife in his hand fiercely, “I’m not just going to kill her, but I’m going to do it right before your eyes, in your face.”

The leader of the enemies was named Zhong Si, one of the most vigorous subordinates of a major drug lord.

Quan Shaoqing narrowed his eyes, a chill flickering in them as he gripped his gun tightly, “Release my person!”

Zhong Si immediately raised his head, as if he heard some joke, “Let him go?

Sure, kneel down and beg me!”

As his words fell, those dressed in military uniforms collectively gripped their sidearms, each with eyes red with rage, as a vast and righteous qi burst forth.

Clearly, everyone could not tolerate such an insult.

Quan Shaoqing’s dark eyes flashed with a sharp edge, yet his expression remained unchanged as he said, “You want me to kneel to you!

That depends on whether you have the ability to make me!”

“Still playing tough at this point!” Zhong Si gripped the knife in his hand, aiming it at Number Seventeen, “I’ll tell you.

Now, your man is in my hands.

Whether I release him or kill him, that decision is mine to make.

It seems you all don’t really love your comrades as much as you claim.”

With that, Zhong Si stomped on Number Seventeen’s already injured thigh.

Even in the darkness, Gu Xiaoxi could clearly see blood seeping out from his knee.

At this moment, Number Seventeen’s mouth was bound with a cloth strip, unable to speak, only able to emit muffled cries of pain.

Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fists, trembling with anger.

Damn it!

These people are too arrogant.

Because the three banyan trees marked the national border line.

They had to take them down under those trees.

Therefore, the team needed time to deploy, and at this moment, what they had to do was buy time, and then treat Number Seventeen’s injuries.

Quan Shaoqing looked at the injured Number Seventeen, who was truly hanging on by a thread.

If they couldn’t stop the bleeding in time, even if she was saved, she wouldn’t live for much longer.

“Let me go!” Gu Xiaoxi stepped forward and stood behind Quan Shaoqing, saying, “I don’t need a weapon to save someone, so I will go and save Number Seventeen.”

“No way!

You haven’t received any…”

“There’s no need to argue!

A group of men like you will inevitably not lower their guard.

Right now, we need time to save Number Seventeen.

Superior officer, I believe in your deployment and everyone’s capabilities.”

Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze was firm as she looked at Quan Shaoqing, her tone exceptionally serious, “We don’t have much time.

Please trust me.”

Quan Shaoqing’s gaze intently sized up Gu Xiaoxi.

In the black of night, her posture was upright, her tone resolute.

He had never seen such a severe Gu Xiaoxi before, and she was somehow convincing beyond control!

“Hahaha!

What a bunch of cowards,” mocked Zhong Si’s contemptuous voice once more.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense to the point of snapping.

“Gu Xiaoxi!

Stay safe!” Quan Shaoqing patted her shoulder as he raised his head to look at Zhong Si, waves of fury in his eyes.

Gu Xiaoxi formally gave Quan Shaoqing a military salute, her demeanor cold and proud, her spirit indomitable.

“Zhong Si, I can agree to one condition of yours, but you must allow my people to treat the injured,” said Quan Shaoqing as he patted Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder, signaling for her to stay calm.

His dark eyes glimmered with a cold light, staring at Zhong Si.

Zhong Si had been waiting for these words from Quan Shaoqing.

He stepped forward boldly, positioning himself at the forefront of the team, laughing coldly, “I’ve heard that the female soldiers under your command are quite good-looking.

Deliver one to me as a wife, and I will release this half-dead man.”

This was a blatant humiliation.

Zhong Si knew that any deal with Quan Shaoqing at this point was futile.

What he wanted was to vent his anger.

Although he still held the drugs, his subordinates in the earlier encounter had either died or been captured.

He wanted to take revenge today.

Not just revenge, but to thoroughly humiliate them.
