Chapter 120 - Rescue and Matching
Chapter 120: Rescue, Matching, and Tacit Understanding
"Ning Fei! Come back here, you're chasing too deep!"
Zheng Liwen yelled in the wireless channel: "We can't keep up, it's too dangerous, retreat quickly!"
His voice was so loud that Ning Fei's eardrums were numb. Ning Fei turned down the volume of the headset and searched visually with thermal imaging night vision goggles while standing on the tree: "I have just seen the leader of this group of mutants. He is behind us. As long as we kill it, the collective action ability of these mutants will be greatly weakened."
"Don't fucking talk nonsense. Everyone knows what you said. But you are the only one with wind system who can chase us. We can't support you. Are you going to die if you go in there alone?!" Zheng Liwen cursed angrily, "Get out right now!"
Ning Fei said: "I will try to lead it to the front line."
Zheng Liwen immediately retorted: "No, come back immediately!"
Zheng Liwen's teammates immediately reported in the channel: "Captain, Ning Fei's coordinates are getting farther and farther away."
Zheng Liwen was really furious: "Ning Fei!!!"
Ning Fei had already muted the headset.
The night vision goggles framed a number of red-edged figures in the woods, some far away, some near, some big, some small. The largest one among them must be the leader. But it was still some distance away from Ning Fei, and it was moving all the time. The trees and other mutants blocked Ning Fei's gun line, so Ning Fei had to get closer to it.
Zheng Liwen's worries are not unreasonable, but Ning Fei is not really a third-level mutant transformed from an ordinary person. His combat experience and abilities are far beyond Zheng Liwen's imagination. Therefore, even though Zheng Liwen kept roaring, Ning Fei ignored him. He has his own criteria for judging safety, and the decision he has made now is: keep moving forward.
It’s just as well that Zheng Liwen and the others couldn’t follow in, so they wouldn’t go too deep and get into danger. If something really happened, Ning Fei would be scolded by Yu Zhou when he returned.
Ning Fei jumped and glided in the forest with the help of the wind, preparing to attack the mutant leader from a high point and closer to him. The mutant probably sensed the existence of him as a "lone man", and a series of rapid and unpleasant cries came one after another. In Ning Fei's field of vision, some red frames began to run towards him. However, the gunfire from Zheng Liwen's side became more urgent and frequent. It was probably because he saw Ning Fei going deep into the enemy's territory and not coming back, so he wanted to help him attract attention, and so the firepower of attacking the mutants on the front line became more intense.
Not long after, Ning Fei went around to the side and rear, which was also the direction where the defense around the leader was the weakest.
The terrain is relatively high and there is little obstruction from the tree canopy. Although the distance is not close enough, Ning Fei judged that this is already the best "wind outlet". Opportunity is fleeting, Ning Fei raised his gun.
This is a fully automatic rifle that Yu Zhou secretly equipped him with. It is equipped with a night vision scope and is considered one of the best weapons for night operations. Ning Fei pulled up the device on his head, moved in front of the sight of the automatic rifle, aimed, and pulled the trigger!
Bang bang bang! ! !
The sound of continuous gunfire filled the night sky, and the next second, the mutant leader's screams were heard!
Mutants began to gather rapidly in front of Ning Fei and ran towards him. He could see them clearly through the sight. Ning Fei put down his gun, pulled up the night vision goggles on his head, and jumped quickly. After a few shots, Ning Fei heard something strange happening nearby, so he turned around and started shooting!
Bang bang bang bang——!
The mutant's screams meant that he had hit him, but the mutant's mobility was far superior to that of normal animals. As long as they were not completely dead after being shot, they would still chase after him bravely regardless of the pain. Ning Fei changed bullets while running, and as soon as he heard the sound of the pursuers getting closer, he turned around and fired a burst of bullets. It turned out that the mutants were originally monkeys. They moved very fast in the forest, and Ning Fei could not escape their pursuit even if he walked on the wind. Ning Fei thought for a few seconds, then changed direction with the group of mutants and headed straight for the village at the foot of the mountain.
There are many flat areas at the foot of the mountain. Even if these mutants can climb houses, they are easier to chase than in the mountains and forests.
——Duan Yunhong wouldn’t just run out at this time, right? If that happens, it’s his bad luck…
This thought flashed through Ning Fei's mind, and at that moment, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the air above his head. Buzzing sound, you can tell it's the sound of the propeller turning.
Ning Fei looked up and saw - a drone!
It's not just the drone itself, there's also a dark shadow hanging underneath it. Just by looking at the outline, Ning Fei could recognize that it was a gun!
——From Zheng Liwen’s team? But he didn't tell me when I was discussing weapons with him. He shouldn't have kept such important information secret...
Ning Fei's mind quickly turned over these thoughts, and he immediately took out his cell phone, quickly found someone's phone number, and dialed!
The person on the other end picked up the phone quickly, as if they were waiting for him to call. Before Ning Fei could open his mouth, the person on the other end spoke first: "Do you still have time to answer the phone? Don't be distracted!"
Ning Fei knew he had guessed right when he heard it, so he said without further ado, "The leader is behind this group of mutants, roughly to the southwest of where I am now. You use the drone to attack them, and I will take these mutants to Zheng Liwen's side."
Duan Yunhong disagreed: "Do you know how many mutants are chasing you?!"
"I know. They came because I shot their leader. If you kill their leader, they won't be so united. Besides, Zheng Liwen and his men can withstand the firepower." Ning Fei said quickly, "You didn't come out? I'm going to the village. Don't come out to cause trouble!"
"No, all the mutants in the building and nearby have been summoned away. I just unloaded a piece of wood and let the drone fly out." Duan Yunhong said, "Then I'm going to find the leader, you be careful!"
"I know, I'm dead. I can't fire a rifle one-handed."
"Well, see you later..."
Before Duan Yunhong could finish his words, the phone was hung up. He glanced at the screen, then put his phone in his pocket - it would not be able to receive any signal if it was put into space - and continued to operate the drone.
From the drone's perspective, the figure carrying the gun had already run out of the night vision screen, and the mutants chasing him caused the treetops to rustle in chaos. Duan Yunhong did not hesitate. Following Ning Fei's reminder, he headed southwest to search, and indeed found the largest individual behind the group of pursuing mutants.
Adjusting the height of the drone and the aiming direction of the gun were originally designed to be a two-person operation, but Duan Yunhong was able to operate it smoothly alone. After the rifle's scope framed the mutant leader, Duan Yunhong decisively fired!
Bang bang bang! ! !
Gunshots were heard at the third spot. Zheng Liwen was stunned when he heard it: "Who else is on the mountain?"
"Not sure, except Ning Fei, our entire team is down there!" The teammate on the team chat responded, "Is there another rescue team coming?"
Zheng Liwen replied: "I don't know either, I haven't received any notice. But this job was originally transferred to Ning Fei, and now he is 'deaf'..."
"It's not good to curse someone behind their back, Captain Wen." Ning Fei's voice suddenly rang out again in the team channel. Zheng Liwen paused and immediately asked, "What on earth are you doing? How can others cooperate with you if you run around without following orders? Why do you want us to come and rescue together? Why don't you just come and die alone?!"
He was impatient and spoke quickly, but Ning Fei didn't pay attention and said quickly: "I've sneaked the mutant over to your side, please pay attention to the response."
"You finally decided to come back, hurry up, move faster!" Zheng Liwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before he set off, Yu Zhouke told him in person that he must bring Ning Fei back to Tianyue safely, otherwise he would bear the consequences.
Now that Ning Fei was willing to come back and join the team, Zheng Liwen not only asked the rest of the team to be alert and prepare for a fierce battle, but also continued to ask in the team chat: "Who fired the gun on the mountain? Other rescue teams?"
"Duan Yunhong's drone, with a gun." Ning Fei replied, "I pointed out the leader's location to him, and he went to attack."
Zheng Liwen's teammates were surprised: "He has weapons of this level, and he can't escape?"
"It's hard for the drone operator to take care of his own defense. He can't fly the drone without someone to help him guard it." Zheng Liwen understood. "And as far as I know, drones are equipped with rifles, so there should be two operators. It's amazing that Director Duan can operate it alone. It's nothing to say if he can't hit the target. By the way, Ning Fei, have you contacted him? Is he safe now?"
"Not bad. We have already lured the mutant away, and he found an opportunity to release the drone. But he is still hiding in the house, so he is not that fragile... Tsk." At this point, Ning Fei seemed to have encountered some unexpected situation, and changed the subject, "There are also mutants ahead, I am about to be trapped, let's go around!"
Zheng Liwen's heart, which had just been relieved, began to hang in the air again: "Tell me the route, and I'll bring someone to pick you up!"
Ning Fei didn't try to be stubborn this time. He reported a few locations and Zheng Liwen immediately selected a few people to form a team to go there. The reception was not very smooth this time. Ning Fei moved, the reception team moved, and the mutants also moved. The movement routes of several parties were constantly changing. There were several times when Ning Fei was nearly injured by stray bullets from Zheng Liwen's team who were firing from the opposite side, which made the people who came to support him a little afraid to pull the trigger.
Fortunately, Duan Yunhong's "sneak attack" from the rear also attracted mutants, and the leader's miserable roar recalled some mutants back to its side to form a defense. After the pressure on the front line eased, Ning Fei finally reunited with Zheng Liwen and others.
After returning to the team, Ning Fei no longer had to be so nervous, and he called Duan Yunhong again.
Duan Yunhong answered the call again, and the first thing he said was: "Are you safe?"
"It's OK. I've reunited with Zheng Liwen and the others." Ning Fei replied, "What's the situation over there?"
Duan Yunhong felt a little relieved: "It was hit, but the leader was not killed. Maybe this mutant has lost the awareness of avoiding danger."
"Normal. I was hit as well, but it not only didn't evade, but became even more violent." Ning Fei replied, "Your drone attracted its attention. Don't go directly back to your house on the way back, otherwise it will be troublesome if they follow you."
"I know. I'm going to feed all the bullets to it and the mutants around it to speed up the blood loss. Then you decide where the drone will land." Duan Yunhong said, "Don't go any deeper into their midst."
Ning Fei didn't respond, and only asked: "Having finished talking about your drone, what's going on with you?"
"Me?" Although Ning Fei's tone was light, Duan Yunhong still tasted a hint of concern. He smiled silently and replied, "I'm fine. I have food and drink. I'm just waiting for you to pick me up."
Ning Fei was surrounded by teammates. Duan Yunhong suddenly said something ambiguous, and Ning Fei raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Okay, just wait upstairs, Rapunzel."
