Chapter 49 An Embrace of Love

The safe house was right in front of them.

The small villa with red walls and green tiles was an eyesore in the wilderness.

“Honey, after we complete this mission segment, we’re going to sleep.”

Tang Wanqiu gently rubbed his wife’s head.

In the game, Xiao Qiang rapidly approached the safe house, following Ghost’s footsteps.

“Two SUVs are fleeing the target building!”

“Repeat, two SUVs are fleeing the target building!”

The message came from the Sharpshooter. Snipers usually found a commanding position to set up an ambush, offering a wider field of vision.

“Sharpshooter, destroy their escape route!”

Ghost panicked upon hearing this, “Xiao Qiang, block the SUVs with me!”

“Roger! Prepare to launch Javelin missiles, careful of friendly fire!”

“Roger that!”

Da da da—

Tang Wanqiu replied from the sidelines, raising his rifle and spraying bullets wildly at the SUVs speeding past him.

The outer layer of the SUVs was thicker than the author’s face; bullets only left shallow dents on them.

“Damn it!”

Ghost rare cursed, “These SUVs are bulletproof!”

However, good news arrived from the Sharpshooter on the other side: “Two missiles have been launched!”

“Target successfully destroyed!”

Upon hearing this, Ghost continued to issue commands, “Clear out the remaining enemy forces on the perimeter, don’t let any escape!”

“Please note, we haven’t found Makarov, nor has anyone left the safe house. The SUVs might just be decoys, over!”

“Understood, we’re breaching the safe house now!”

Tang Wanqiu skillfully switched his scar-h from rifle mode to grenade launcher mode.

It was always a good idea to bombard with grenades before assaulting a building.

This was especially true for places like safe houses that were easy to hide in; grenade bombardment was very necessary.

Boom—!!

Boom—!!

Boom—!!

Following that, flashbangs led the way, and breaching charges were placed on the walls to forcibly create an entry.

Tete-te—

Dudu-dudu—

The moment the explosions went off, Tang Wanqiu and Ghost immediately rushed into the rooms, shooting and spraying anyone they saw.

Debris flew everywhere in the house, and blood bloomed from the chests of every enemy soldier.

“The office is secure!”

Led by Ghost, the team successfully captured the first floor.

“Move! Move!”

“Ousang, don’t let anyone leave the kitchen.”

“Scarecrow, the front door of the basement is yours.”

“Xiao Qiang, go upstairs and check all the locked rooms, breach and clear them all.”

“The dining room is secure!”

Ghost led the charge to the second floor, issuing calm and clear operational plans through the radio.

Tang Wanqiu didn’t have many tasks.

He just needed to be ready for any potential ambushes from corners, cabinets, doorways, and other classic hiding spots for enemy players.

Breaching charges were plastered onto every closed door on the second floor, as if their lives depended on it.

FB1!

Open the door!!

Tang Wanqiu, acting as an envoy of justice, knocked on every neighbor’s door.

Then he gave them a bedtime massage.

Tsk!

This neighbor had quite a unique hobby.

Bathing dolls.

Tsk, tsk… what a clean neighbor.

Looking at the deflated girlfriend in the bathtub, Tang Wanqiu muttered inwardly.

“The top floor is secure!”

“Xiao Qiang, you and Scarecrow go check the basement for enemies, breach and clear, go!”

“The second floor clearing mission is complete,” Ghost’s command followed immediately.

The fast-paced gameplay was a characteristic of Call of Duty.

Excluding those with exceptionally poor talent, each small mission could be completed within half an hour, with no upper limit.

Whoa!

Entering the basement, Tang Wanqiu’s eyes lit up.

Wasn’t this a small armory?

Boxes of weapons were neatly stacked in the corner, and the shelves held various sniper rifles, pistols, and explosives.

With these treasures, he could hold off an entire battalion of enemies!

[37/45 enemy intel found]

A prompt appeared after finding a piece of the intel puzzle in the basement.

“Still eight short, almost done with the puzzle.”

Tang Wanqiu spoke too soon.

He searched the entire villa afterward but couldn’t find the last piece of the puzzle.

By then, all enemies in the safe house had been cleared, but the next scene wouldn’t trigger.

“Where’s the last piece of the puzzle?”

With only one step left to complete the mission, Tang Wanqiu was anxious, darting around the room like a headless fly.

At this moment, Chen Yingying proved her worth again: “Honey, the last piece of the puzzle is outside.”

She showed him the footage from the Momo live-streaming room on her phone.

“No wonder I couldn’t find it!”

“It was hidden outside!”

“Honey, you’re my capable general, I’ll reward you with a roller coaster ride later.”

“You cheeky thing!”

Chen Yingying playfully chided him, a blush instantly spreading from her neck to her ears.

After collecting the intel, Captain Price’s voice appeared at the right time: “Stimulating… there are at least fifty mercenaries waiting for me, but I haven’t found Makarov either. Our intel might be wrong.”

Ghost: “Don’t worry, the intel from now on will be accurate. This safe house is practically an intel vault.”

“Understood.”

Shepherd: “Ghost, have your squad collect as many useful clues as possible—names, contact information, locations… anything.”

No wonder the radio communication only appeared after I collected enough enemy intel.

“We’re on it, sir. Makarov can’t escape,” Ghost reported his work from the front of the safe house.

Tang Wanqiu, with nothing else to do, carefully observed the NPC who never revealed his face throughout the game but took exceptionally good care of the player.

He was holding his gun with one hand, swaying slightly, appearing unusually relaxed.

This was a sign of mental relaxation.

He trusted his teammates implicitly.

He diligently completed the missions assigned by his superiors.

Such an employee was good.

Being teammates with him provided a sense of security!

“Very good. I’m bringing the extraction unit. They’ll arrive in five minutes. Go get the intel, Shepherd, over!”

After the report.

Ghost nodded at Tang Wanqiu, pointed at the computer on the desk, and said softly, “Xiao Qiang, connect to Makarov’s computer and start transmitting the data.”

“Ousang, you guard the back door, I’ll guard the front. Go ahead.”

“No problem!”

At this moment, Price’s voice came through the radio again: “Task force, this is Price. More of Makarov’s men have arrived at the scrapyard…”

“Soap, cover me. I’m going to ambush that guy and use his radio to eavesdrop on their conversation.”

“Ghost, we’ll have to cut the signal for a few minutes. Good luck to you all, Price, over.”

Ousang: “Xiao Qiang, there’s an armory in the basement, seize the opportunity to resupply.”

Ghost: “Makarov’s men will stop us from taking the intel at all costs, we need to protect the DS/

This was a tough battle with a vast disparity in strength.

This was also a battle where he could unleash his full potential!
