Volume 1 Chapter 440 Encountering a Mercenary
"Why?"
Song Ziyan didn't understand. Why did he need to hide his military identity?
If my cousin knew you were such a great soldier, she would probably like you even more.
"No reason, just do as you are told." Li Tian said calmly.
If he was just a soldier, he would of course be very willing to reveal this identity, but the world he came into contact with would subvert the cognition of ordinary people. With Gu Ruoxi's ability to bear, accepting his world should not be a big problem. But there is a saying that goes, knowing too much will make you unhappy.
Being an ordinary person is actually the happiest thing!
Just like his father, mother, grandparents, he hoped that they would never come into contact with this level. In his heart, Gu Ruoxi had risen to the same status, so he also didn't want Gu Ruoxi to know.
"Okay." Song Ziyan nodded.
Anyway, Li Tian saved her, so whatever Li Tian said was what it was. She didn't know if she could hold back from saying it when she returned.
Li Tian ignored Song Ziyan and turned to Ye Lanxin and said, "Let me drive the car, and you control the drone."
"yes."
Ye Lanxin is like a loyal subordinate of Li Tian, and only obeys Li Tian's orders.
Song Ziyan became more and more curious about Li Tianjun's identity. Could this shameless man be a military officer?
She secretly vowed that when she returned, she would find out Li Tian's position in the army.
She suddenly felt that her cousin had married a powerful man, and this cousin-in-law was really not a simple man.
Li Tian and Ye Lanxin exchanged seats.
"Can you raise the drone so it can send me real-time images of the ground within a two-kilometer radius?"
Li Tian asked Ye Lanxin, "I need to make sure if there are any snipers ambushing ahead."
He is not afraid of enemies that come openly, but he is afraid of enemies in the dark. The so-called enemies in the dark are actually snipers to him.
Ye Lanxin nodded: "Our drones can not only scan the ground for mines, but also act as scouts to detect enemy activity in advance."
As he was speaking, he had already controlled the drone to rise to a higher altitude, and was transmitting real-time images of the ground within a two-kilometer radius.
"It's just that the images were shot at this altitude. Unless it's a troop moving by car, it's hard to see them in the images, let alone a sniper who is good at disguising himself and blending himself into the surrounding environment." Ye Lanxin added with a frown.
"It's not a big problem." Li Tian said after looking at the images sent back by the drone.
Song Ziyan and Xiaopang also took a look at the image and couldn't help but secretly click their tongues. The car they were riding in was only an image the size of a soybean in the image. Even if there was a sniper hiding in the hill ahead, it would be impossible to detect it.
"Don't we have thermal imaging technology now? No matter how well snipers disguise themselves, they cannot change their body temperature. Thermal imaging technology can find them very effectively." Song Ziyan couldn't help but speak.
Upon hearing this, Li Tian looked at Ye Lanxin.
Ye Lanxin explained: "We do have thermal imaging technology, but because drones have limited carrying capacity, we can only choose between thermal imaging and mine warning."
"Then you made the right choice. What I need most is a mine warning system." Li Tian said.
Ye Lanxin didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly.
As time went by, Song Ziyan and Xiaopang finally realized that the direction was wrong. This was not the direction to retreat to the overseas Chinese base.
"Stop, stop now!" Song Ziyan screamed.
Li Tian stopped the car and said with a bit of displeasure: "Miss Song, what's wrong?"
"You are going in the wrong direction. This is not the direction to withdraw to the overseas Chinese base. The overseas Chinese base is in the east, and you are driving west. You are going in the wrong direction." Song Ziyan reminded loudly.
Xiaopang nodded heavily in agreement, thinking to himself, how could he have gone in the wrong direction? Could a big guy also make such a low-level mistake?
Li Tian sneered: "Who told you that I'm going back to the overseas Chinese base now?"
Song Ziyan was surprised and asked, "Aren't you here just to save me?"
Specially to save you?
If it weren't for a mission from the organization, I wouldn't have come here at all.
Li Tian started the car and said calmly: "You take yourself too seriously. I tell you, don't flatter yourself. Saving you is just a byproduct."
By the way?
Song Ziyan's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she felt severely humiliated by Li Tian.
Ye Lanxin said at this time: "We have other tasks."
"Can you send us back first and then go on with your mission?" Song Ziyan asked.
The death of her four bodyguards and the nightmarish experience in the town of Standing have completely awakened her. She is no longer obsessed with being a war correspondent. Her greatest hope now is to leave Country X and return to the embrace of her motherland.
"Shut up, stop making noise!"
Li Tianchong yelled at her, stopped the car, and stared at the images sent back by the drone.
Song Ziyan felt extremely wronged, and cursed Li Tian a hundred times or ten thousand times in her heart. Didn't he just save her? Was there any need for him to put on such an arrogant attitude and harm her at every turn?
"Brother Li, what's wrong?" Ye Lanxin noticed something unusual and asked quickly.
Li Tianyi pointed to a hill on the screen and said, "Enlarge the image here."
Ye Lanxin followed instructions and enlarged the image of that area.
Even when she zoomed in to the maximum, she still saw a hill and didn't notice anything wrong.
"There really is one. Enlarge this place." Li Tian pointed to another area.
No matter how good the sniper's disguise is, fake is fake and cannot escape his eyes.
Ye Lanxin did as she was told without saying anything.
"Two snipers, one at the two o'clock position and the other at the ten o'clock position. There must be others." Li Tian's eyes searched carefully on the picture sent back by the drone.
"Is it the Black Army?" Ye Lanxin asked.
"The Black Army's fighting style is not that sinister. They should be an international mercenary force." Li Tian said.
Hire mercenaries?
Song Ziyan and Xiaopang took a breath of cool air, their nerves suddenly tense.
Even if you have never seen a mercenary, you have heard of mercenaries. They are a group of desperate people without nationality or faith.
"Let's turn around and go back." Song Ziyan said in panic.
"Do you want me to repeat it twice? Shut up!" Li Tian shouted with a cold face.
"Li Tian, you..."
Song Ziyan felt extremely aggrieved and tears immediately burst out of her eyes.
Xiaopang pulled her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking. In this situation, outsiders like them should not say anything.
Li Tianshuang had sharp eyes and was searching carefully.
Finally, behind a hill, he spotted the other mercenaries, who had almost blended in with the surroundings, ready to attack if the sniper succeeded.
Unfortunately, they are doomed to fail...
