Chapter 201 Setting an Ambush in Advance
Han Shuo drove the armored vehicle ahead to lead the way.
Their plan this time was to ambush Wang Bahu and his men.
Such a good opportunity cannot be missed. The enemy is in the open, while they are in the shadows. This is our biggest advantage at this moment.
Following his memory of the location, Han Shuo quickly led the four of them to the hostage exchange site.
He turned off the engine, got out of the car, and looked around, trying to find a secluded spot.
The fat man and the others also got out of the car.
"Are they meeting here?" the fat man asked.
Han Shuo pointed to the two trees next to him and explained.
"Yes, it's over there by the tree."
The surrounding area was rather open, and since it was still dark and visibility was limited, he couldn't find a good hiding spot for the time being.
That bush from last time is definitely not going to work. This time, not only are there more people, but we also need to hide the car.
"It looks like we'll have to hide even further away."
Han Shuo muttered something to himself, then waved his hand, beckoning the four of them to gather around.
"Come on, everyone, let's take a walk around the area and see if there are any good hiding places further away."
"good!"
"clear!"
...
The five men scattered with their weapons, and a few minutes later they all returned to their original spot.
Xiao Zhao was a little excited and spoke up.
"Brother Han, there's a small building a kilometer to the north. Shall we go take a look?"
"Hmm? Let's go take a look."
Without the slightest hesitation, Han Shuo had everyone get into their cars and drove directly in the direction Xiao Zhao had indicated.
Although a distance of a kilometer is a bit far, it is still well within the range of Xiao Zhao's sniper rifle.
He originally planned to hide nearby and wait for Cheng Shenghong to exchange hostages before everyone rushed up and wiped out Captain Wang and his men.
Of course, even though we have more people, close-quarters combat still carries risks.
After all, the main enemy in this operation is a genetically evolved human at level 4.
Their reaction speed and reaction ability are likely beyond everyone's expectations.
If they fail to eliminate Wang Bahu instantly once everyone is exposed, allowing him to rush into the crowd, there might not even be enough time for a gun to react.
Han Shuo believed that such a scene would be like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
In Han Shuo's view, it would be a better choice if the five of them hid in a more distant location to avoid a direct confrontation and let Xiao Zhao take down Wang Bahu with a single shot.
In his mind, killing Wang Bahu was not the primary objective of this operation.
His primary objective was to do everything possible to ensure a successful hostage exchange and the safety of everyone's lives.
Han Shuo could not accept the death of one of his own.
The death of an ally is also something Cheng Shenghong cannot accept.
...
Soon, the five of them arrived near the small building.
The building isn't very big; it only has three floors.
After getting out of the car, Han Shuo gazed into the distance.
"No wonder, no wonder I didn't notice this building earlier."
"It turns out there was a tree 200 meters away that was blocking the way."
Shaking his head, Han Shuo decided to clear away the nearby zombies first.
"Fatty, Shurou, Wai Di, the three of you clean up the zombies outside."
"Xiao Zhao, let's go upstairs and check all the rooms."
"clear!"
The five people started working, and five minutes later, all potential hazards inside and outside the building were eliminated.
At this moment, Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao were in a room on the top floor.
Xiao Zhao was assembling his sniper rifle, while Han Shuo opened the window facing the target location.
He took out his binoculars and looked out.
"The location is not bad, but that tree still blocks the view a bit."
Han Shuo put down the binoculars and turned on the communicator in his ear.
He shouted.
"Fatty, Fatty."
"What's wrong? I'm hiding the car with Shurou and the others."
"Let Shurou hide by herself first. Do you see that tree directly south of the small building?"
"I saw it, I saw it."
"Go, take your big axe and chop down that tree; it's obstructing Xiao Zhao's line of sight."
"Okay, I understand."
The fat man reluctantly responded, briefly explained to Li Shurou, then picked up his axe and jogged over.
"Who would have thought I'd end up working as a lumberjack?"
"That makes sense, isn't that what an axe is for anyway..."
The tree wasn't very big; the fat man chopped it down with a few axe strokes.
He thought about it for a moment, and then, to be on the safe side, he simply dragged the tree to another location and hid it.
Han Shuo, who was far away, naturally saw all of this.
He nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips, and offered a few words of praise.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad, you're becoming more and more cautious."
"There are plenty of trees nearby, so the sudden loss of one shouldn't attract much attention from Wang Bahu and his gang."
Han Shuo turned and greeted Xiao Zhao.
"Hey Xiao Zhao, what do you think of this angle?"
"good."
Xiao Zhao took his sniper rifle and walked to the window, taking a quick look through the scope.
"Brother Han, this is a great spot. We can see the exchange of locations very clearly."
"Okay, no rush, there's still plenty of time, let's just wait here patiently."
Before long, the three fat men finished what they were doing, went upstairs, and entered their room.
Han Shuo took the food out of his backpack and spread it on the bed.
"Everyone, let's eat something first. We came out early today and haven't eaten yet."
"good!"
...
Meanwhile, Cheng Shenghong and his men also arrived at the meeting place.
The fifth brother walked over and asked a question.
"Boss, should we hide too?"
Cheng Shenghong waved his hand.
"No need. Wang Bahu knows how many people we have. Losing even one person could arouse his suspicion."
"Oh, okay."
None of the 12 people hid anything; they just stood there anxiously waiting.
Cheng Shenghong looked around and then took out a communicator from his pocket.
"Hey? Brother Han, where have you been hiding? I haven't seen you."
Han Shuo's voice came through the communicator.
"I see you. Look to the north, in that small building a kilometer away."
"Do you have a sniper?"
"Of course there is, it's Xiao Zhao. His marksmanship is definitely much better than your old Wu's."
"Tch, our fifth brother is just as good, he's really amazing, okay?"
"Alright, you guys just wait patiently. I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm eating."
After hearing this, Cheng Shenghong was speechless.
We were on edge, and those five of them were still eating?
He shook his head, feeling a bit envious of Han Shuo and the others' attitude.
"Alright, you guys eat. I'll turn on the communicator and put it in my pocket later so you can hear what's going on here too."
The sound of Han Shuo eating came through the communicator again.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, everything will proceed as planned."
...
Time passed slowly, and the sky was already completely bright.
Both groups arrived early, but everyone was very patient.
Two hours later.
Suddenly, the roar of a car engine came from afar.
The enemy has arrived!
