re Maiden's Palace over these years would be meaningless."Wang Zhenzhen said calmly."I understand that Lian Yi will listen to Auntie Zhen's arrangements and protect Grandma."Ringlets smiled in reply.“...Ripples really didn't want to give those people an easy win, so she immediately told her teammates about the discovery they had made before.
"Don't worry, there will be people waiting for them at the border as long as they are returning to China."
Zheng Ran calmly replied.
The ripples nodded, and this finally pulled the dazed white fat man to prepare to leave.
A bullet whizzed past, grazing the top of her head and shattering a young tree behind her with a sickening crack.
"Be discreet!"
Members of the Special Operations Team immediately scattered and sought cover.
The white, chubby man was pushed far away by the ripple and landed face-down in the bushes.
After several ripples, Lianyi hid behind a big tree. Just now, she instinctively shrank her neck, or else her head would have been blown open.
"Hawkeye, that sniper, haven't you finished him off yet"
Ripples asked in the public channel.
"One went down, and another popped up. Be careful, this sniper is very cunning; he's already changed three sniping positions."
Hawkeye replied, "I'm firing while I speak."
A ripple passed through her eyes as she turned, always feeling that sniper seemed to be staring at her.
"Millstone, what's going on I won't die before I even begin my journey, will I"
Something was amiss, so Ripple contacted Stone Mill.
"With your abilities, you shouldn't have to. If someone wants to take you out, it's perfectly normal to fight back."
"Why"
The ripples asked directly.
"In the book, you are already dead."
The stone mill answered very readily.
Understood!
Ripple knew this was the book's consciousness playing tricks, after all, as a tragic female supporting character in the book, she didn't follow the set plot. She dodged death several times, which made the book's consciousness very unhappy, so it wanted to erase her.
"Hmph! If you want to kill me, see if you have the ability!"
Ripple sneered inwardly, then contacted Hawkeye through her earpiece:
Hawkeye, the sniper seems to have me in his sights. Let's work together and take him out, otherwise we won't be able to extract.
"Got it! What am I in charge of"
You distract him, I'll take care of him.
"Is your gun's range enough"
"Before I didn't have enough, now I do, who let him chase after me!"
Liàn Yī laughed coldly, "You really think she's a pushover, don't you"
"Roger that, I'll try my best to drive them your way."
After Hawkeye's voice fell, he quickly lay down, dodging a bullet. He then stood up and changed position to start firing continuously, not giving the other side a chance to regroup.
And the ripples, through the sight, quickly locked onto their target. In that instant of lock-on, they pulled the trigger without hesitation, a three-round burst.
"Target acquired!"
Hawkeye's voice entered everyone's ears.
"Alternating cover, fall back."
Zheng Ran immediately ordered.
"Got it!"
Everyone began to quickly take cover and retreat, Ripples was still responsible for carrying White Fatty, mainly to prevent the other party from holding them back.
"Have the police from M country arrived yet"
"Not yet."
"Were they intentional"
Jin Yuan Qing Bian shot said dissatisfiedly.
"Gold, I'm going to blow the exit. Get back!"
Zheng Ran said very calmly.
"Acknowledged, we have someone injured here, which caused a slight delay."
Jin Yuanqing immediately replied and then casually threw a grenade, covering his teammates as they retreated into the woods.
After the grenade exploded, screams filled the air. The enemy also began a frenzied counterattack. On the special operations team's side, casualties started to appear one after another.
Zheng Ran was a little anxious, fearing that the teammates wouldn't be able to withdraw in time. At this moment, he kept a composed face to cover Jin Zi leading the assault team.
When he saw that two members of the assault team were injured, his eyes darkened, and he immediately roared:
"Hit the deck!"
Then he decisively pressed the detonator. "Bang bang bang," a series of explosions followed, sending the enemy squad that had been hot on their heels flying into the air. The blasts also destroyed the only exit from the water village.
Immediately, everyone rushed forward to greet their teammates and, under Tianyan's command, quickly withdrew from the area.
They wandered through the jungle for an hour before finding a safe, open space to stop.
"Take stock of personnel, check casualties and ammunition reserves."
Zheng Ran immediately issued the first command.
"Yes!"
At this time, Meng Shaohua was sprawled on the ground, panting heavily. Although he only ran for half the distance, he felt like he was about to suffocate. His lungs burned like fire, and the sweat had soaked through his floral shirt.
The ripples walked past and kicked the other party, asking:
"Young Master, are you still alive"
"Still got some fight in him!"
Meng Shao-hua and the others caught their breath before replying.
"Wow, you're really tough."
Ripples crouched down and poked the other person's stomach.
"Luckily, I have this body of flesh protecting me, otherwise they would have killed me already."
Meng Shaohua finally sat up, feeling rather proud as he patted his stomach and said.
"That's not your fault, you should have enjoyed the good life but instead you snuck to this kind of place. Only because I'm strong enough can I carry you, anyone else would have left you a long time ago. I advise you to go home and lose some weight, next time if something happens, running faster will help you escape before others."
The ripples mercilessly strike the opponent.
Meng Shaohua knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to argue back. He just stared at Lian Yi's face covered in camouflage for a long time, trying to imprint her features into his memory so that if they met again, he could at least recognize her.
The ripples don't matter, anyway this face now is also modified, not her original appearance.
After resting for a while, everyone continued to retreat to the border. This time, because there were no pursuers, they retreated more calmly. After regrouping with the people on this side of the border, they were finally safe.
Zheng Ran finished the simple handover and, with his men, left first. Bai Fatty Meng Shao Hua naturally couldn't follow Li Anni and the others anymore. He had already called home, and someone would be sent to pick him up. He estimated that he wouldn't be able to avoid a scolding when he got back; he could even hear his elder brother's anger through the phone.
"Older sister, are you leaving already"
Meng Shaohua said with some reluctance.
"Well, my task is complete, time to return to base. Until we meet again!"
Ripples waved his hand, leaving Meng Shao Hua a dashing back.
After Special Operations Team members returned to base, they first underwent physical examinations and then psychological evaluations. This was especially true for Ripple, who was on her first mission. After passing both exams, she wrote a mission report.
After all of that was done and more than ten days had passed, Lian Yi had also adjusted her state. After completing psychological counseling, she returned to school.
Then things became relatively calm. After the first year's courses ended and the exams were taken, the five roommates had a farewell dinner before going their separate ways.
Liàn yǐ returned to the pharmaceutical factory's family courtyard and took out part of the mission reward to invest in his own steamed bun shop. He also accompanied the Xing couple for a while, watching the steamed bun shop's business get back on track before he could rest assured and continue training.
On this side, everything is going smoothly. However, Hu Xingbang isn't doing so well. He was looking at the information that could be found and his eyes turned red with anger., so I made two mistakes, but they still praised me endlessly. I think they were being insincere."Hongji twitched the corner of his mouth after hearing his third younger brother's words. Although he...
