Chapter 379 Delay
David said, “You’re very clever to fake your death right under our noses, but we’re not pushovers either.”
The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Xu Jin's wrist.
Judging from his movements, he wanted to throw the person to the ground.
But having finally gained control of the person, Xu Jin was not so easily countered.
While fighting David, Xu Jin said to Jiang Ning, "Ningning, jump out of the wooden window and run towards the back of the mountain. I can catch up with you."
Xu Jin and David were locked in a fierce battle, while Jiang Ning was constantly shielded behind them, making it impossible for the person in front with the gun to aim accurately.
In such a chaotic scene, not only will the two women be hurt, but David will also be hurt.
After tying them up, the two women were seen as lambs to the slaughter. Little did they expect that they would loosen the ropes, which put them in a passive position.
Upon hearing Xu Jin's words, Jiang Ning did not hesitate. She went to the bedside, braced herself on the windowsill, and jumped out.
This shack was a temporary shelter they found; it was usually just an abandoned wooden hut.
Behind the wooden house are the mountains.
The moment Jiang Ning jumped out of the window, Xu Jin wouldn't be foolish enough to stay there and fight David. Without Jiang Ning around, she was actually more unrestrained.
These people's target was Jiang Ning, and now that Jiang Ning has left, they naturally won't be lenient with her.
These people have guns; if she shows even the slightest weakness, she'll be riddled with bullets.
Xu Jin held David firmly in front of her, and just as they were about to reach the wooden window, she suddenly shoved David towards the group of men with guns, then turned and nimbly jumped out of the window.
Under the dark night sky, she disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye.
David's face turned very ugly when he saw that the two women had actually escaped from his grasp.
David said, “All of you, go into the mountains. These mountains are remote and difficult to traverse. Those two women can’t have gone far. We must catch them before Ferry finds a boat and returns.”
He gave the order, and the men immediately jumped out of the window and headed into the mountains.
Xu Jin lost his way as soon as he entered the mountains; it was too dark to see the path.
But no matter what, she couldn't afford to be caught again. Just as Xu Jin was about to move forward in the dark, she suddenly heard footsteps beside her.
Xu Jin was very wary. "Who?"
"It's me."
Hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
Then a ray of light appeared.
Jiang Ning covered her flashlight with a layer of clothing, leaving only a sliver of light visible; the faint light wouldn't give them away.
This is the flashlight she just took from David in the shack.
After confirming that Jiang Ning was alright, Xu Jin suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Ning, saying, "Ning Ning, these people are all special agents. I saw that they have identification tags around their necks. These people have more combat experience than us. Even in the mountains, it's probably only a matter of time before they find us."
Jiang Ning's face darkened, and suddenly a hissing sound came from her ear.
Upon hearing this sound, Xu Jin was like a frightened bird.
She was able to fight David back and forth just a moment ago, but the sound of the snake terrified her.
However, upon hearing the snake's sound, Jiang Ning suddenly had a plan.
In the mountains, they couldn't fight these people, so they let the mountains restrain them.
Jiang Ning took out a flashlight and shone it over, seeing a snake slithering on the ground.
Xu Jin felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the snake on the ground.
Jiang Ning told Xu Jin about her plan.
Hearing Jiang Ning suggest luring the snake out, she was somewhat skeptical. "Ningning, is this plan feasible? What will we use to attract the snake out?"
Jiang Ning said, "Let's go find some snake-repelling herbs first."
In the mountains, there is no shortage of medicinal herbs.
Once inside the mountains, their combat experience couldn't compare to that of these battle-hardened special agents, so they had to find another way to avoid being captured.
Snake-repelling herbs are easy to find. Simply find the herbs, crush them, and apply them to your body.
Next, you need to find plants that attract snakes, such as snakewort and wild strawberry, which are plants that snakes like.
Not far from them.
David and the others observed the direction of the footprints on the ground to determine their location.
He looked at the footprints on the ground and sneered.
They were just two women; they had no experience in jungle warfare and no counter-surveillance capabilities.
And so they left their footprints openly and brazenly.
They only need to follow the footprints, and finding them will be just a matter of time.
However, they did not notice that there were picked herbs along the way.
I followed the footprints for a while.
David was getting anxious as the journey had taken a while; he just wanted to catch the man as soon as possible.
However, after walking nearly a kilometer along the mountain path, they suddenly heard a hissing sound.
"There's a snake!"
David saw the snakes on the ground and in the trees. He drew his dagger and with a swift stroke, cut the snakes in two.
When I was doing missions in the mountains, I would inevitably encounter snakes, insects, rats and ants.
None of these are to be feared.
However, the further they followed the footprints, the more snakes they found on the road. At first there were only one or two, but gradually there were several or even a dozen.
Even the most seasoned warriors felt a chill run down their spines at the sight of so many snakes.
As they walked, they had to guard against snake attacks and kill any snakes that came near, which slowed their pace considerably.
With so many snakes appearing, it's like entering a snake pit.
David killed another snake with his dagger when suddenly a light flashed in his eyes.
David paused, looked up, and saw a person sitting on a large rock not far from them.
The other people's eyes followed the beam of the flashlight.
The person sitting on the large rock not far away was Jiang Ning, whom they were looking for.
David looked over, paused, and said to Jiang Ning, "Dr. Jiang, why aren't you running anymore?"
Jiang Ning blinked, a smile playing on her lips. "It's so dark in these mountains, I'm tired. Let's stop chasing each other, Mr. David. Since you've been chasing me for so long, I'll give you a gift. Didn't you want the prescription? Here you go."
David believed they should have seized the two desperate women instead of letting them walk right into their trap.
The calmer Jiang Ning remained, the more uneasy he felt.
The moment Jiang Ning finished saying she was giving him the gift, she suddenly threw what she was holding at David.
David did not reach out to take it.
He instinctively felt something was amiss.
Sure enough, when the thing landed on the ground, he could see that it was a pile of weeds. After it fell to the ground, several snakes scrambled out of the weeds.
However, at this moment, the hissing sounds around us are increasing.
David suddenly looked up at Jiang Ning, who was smiling.
He was certain that she was the one who had attracted the snakes!
That damn Chinese woman.
He never expected that this woman would have such a trick up her sleeve!
Other women would have been terrified and fled at the sight of a snake, but she dared to catch it.
If their mission was to kill this woman, he would not hesitate to shoot her.
However, she is of great value to the country, and cannot be killed easily.
Jiang Ning hadn't expected David to be so cautious, but after tossing the snake grass and the snake she had caught to David, she didn't linger. She turned around, jumped off the rock, and then disappeared into the jungle with Xu Jin.
These snakes can probably only hold them off, and if they're lucky, they might lose one or two of their members.
But it's probably impossible to drag this out for too long.
Jiang Ning's goal was to send a message to the two soldiers protecting her.
It also disrupted their plan to take them away from China.
The longer it drags on, the more advantageous it will be for them.
Faced with absolute power, all they can do is stall!
