The dim light was initially good news for everyone.
After all, they were fewer in number, and their targets were smaller.
But this sudden flare, surprisingly, lit up the entire forest!
And it made their figures instantly exposed, with nowhere to hide!
Completely visible to the enemy, they were left with no means of concealment!
What was even more terrifying was that the enemy first threw a flare to pinpoint their positions.
Yet, they didn't reveal themselves immediately, choosing instead to remain hidden in ambush.
This situation was clearly disadvantageous for Song Qiao and his companions.
"As expected of the Shanshui team, their quality is truly excellent!"
Song Qiao let out a cold snort, while everyone else drew their weapons.
They began to gather together, warily scanning their surroundings.
At this point, dispersing would be foolish.
They would be picked off one by one. Since they were already ambushed, any further losses would only worsen their predicament!
With Deng Hui squeezed in the middle for protection, the other five men each took a direction, keeping watch.
They had to find the hidden enemies quickly!
Otherwise, with the enemy concealed and themselves exposed, the situation would become extremely dire.
Suddenly!
Snap!
In the dense forest, a branch quietly broke.
"Scatter!"
Song Qiao's heart tightened, and he yelled urgently.
He then swiftly grabbed the still-dazed Deng Hui and leaped forward to the left with a sudden burst of his legs.
Mo Ling and the other three reacted quickly as well.
They pushed their speed to the limit, dodging in different directions.
With a bang!
Almost the instant their feet touched the ground.
In the spot where they had been just moments before, a bullet kicked up a meter-high mound of yellow earth!
Countless specks of dust and soil scattered outward!
There was no need to examine the extent of the damage to the ground.
Just from the deafening roar and the force of the mud hitting their bodies,
Song Qiao could tell this wasn't an ordinary sniper rifle, but an anti-materiel rifle!
A true "cannon of the human world"!
The ground beneath them seemed to tremble uneasily, and they narrowly escaped death.
They quickly found cover behind large trees,
And then rapidly observed the location they had just been in.
They found it looked as if it had collapsed, cracking into a large pit!
Deng Hui's eyes widened in shock, his hands clamped over his ears, which were still ringing.
He was still in shock!
He could imagine the terrible consequences if that bullet had hit him.
No matter where it struck, even a graze on his leg would have caused his entire body to explode instantly from the sheer power!
"Thank you, thank you... thank you!"
With a gulp,
Deng Hui's throat convulsed, and he swallowed hard.
Because his eardrums had been injured by the blast, his thank you was not only stuttered but also shouted very loudly.
Words of gratitude could not express his heartfelt thanks.
At this moment, Deng Hui had made up his mind.
After he escaped, he would urge his sister to take more cool photos and send them to Song Qiao!
Not doing so would be an insult to his savior!
"Good heavens!"
The others, having survived the attack, were also filled with emotion.
Wei Feng, in particular, couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
He marveled in his heart at modern warfare, how it truly killed unseen!
Before they could even spot their enemy, a single bullet nearly wiped them all out.
Thinking this, Wei Feng felt that even the large tree he was leaning against felt insecure.
After all, judging by the power of that bullet,
It seemed capable of felling a tree as thick as an adult's waist!
Wei Feng couldn't help but grip the light machine gun in his hand and cast a questioning look at Song Qiao.
Song Qiao nodded slightly at the group, simultaneously making a gesture with his mouth, silently mouthing the word "test."
Everyone immediately understood his meaning.
Wei Feng and Chen Chen, each holding their light machine guns, fired casually into the surroundings!
Rattattattattat...
Flames erupted from the muzzles of the machine guns.
The dense forest was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Most of the bullets were intercepted by the trees, and it was impossible to know if any had hit the enemy.
After all, they had no idea where the enemy was!
Although Song Qiao had discerned the trajectory of the last shot,
That was a heavy sniper rifle, after all.
The sniper could be hundreds of meters away, and this was in a forest with low visibility.
If they were in an open plain, there would be no point in wasting any more effort searching.
After all, a headshot from eight hundred miles away wasn't just talk.
So, the machine gun fire was merely a desperate attempt to probe.
To see if they could lure out some of the enemy.
At the very least, they had to get rid of this situation where the enemy was hidden and they were exposed!
But the results proved that elites were indeed elites; the enemy had considerable patience.
And what made everyone curse was that this time, the response was an artillery shell!
"Damn it! Get out of the way!"
Song Qiao roared and quickly pulled Deng Hui away again.
With a deafening boom!
The ground where they had been moments before instantly erupted in fire!
Countless shrapnel fragments flew outward indiscriminately like sharp blades!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Fortunately, after dodging, they quickly found large trees for cover.
This way, they were not affected by the terrifying blast wave.
They had narrowly avoided the equally fearsome artillery fragments!
Scorched earth burned fiercely, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Along with an aura of danger spreading to every corner of the forest!
Even the trees behind them crackled rapidly.
That was clearly the sound of shrapnel from the explosion embedding deeply into the trees!
Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and their hearts pounded faster.
Song Qiao's expression grew even more serious; the enemy's weapons were clearly superior to theirs!
