Chapter 348 A Strike and a Sweet Treat
Xu Xiao watched helplessly as Li Kai and his three companions entered the firing range of Sun Langao's platoon, and really wanted to yell "Retreat!" at them without thinking.
Sun Langao did not immediately order the shooting, but waited for Li Kai and his men to get closer and closer.
"beat!"
At a command, a platoon unleashed a barrage of fire on the four men.
In the blink of an eye, all four of them fell down. Even someone as strong as Li Kai had no chance to defend himself when he was caught off guard.
Xu Xiao and Wu Lei both sighed heavily, having already anticipated this outcome.
Li Kai stared in disbelief at the bullet wounds on his body, his entire body stiff and unable to accept it.
The other three were naturally the same.
"Clean up the battlefield."
Hearing those words coming from the high ground, they finally snapped back to their senses.
"This isn't fair! The instructor didn't say there would be an ambush on the high ground!"
Li Kai glared at Sun Langao, who had come up to them, his emotions running high.
That angry look could kill.
Sun Langao tried his best to maintain a blank expression, saying, "We are just following orders. If you have anything to say, go up and talk to the instructors."
Li Kai's chest heaved violently as he lifted his leg and walked away.
The other three followed closely behind.
Xu Xiao and Wu Lei "sensibly" retreated to Lu Dong's side.
They shouldn't take the blame, and they don't need to bear the anger of these team members.
"Bishop, we've already reached the high ground, and you never said there would be an ambush there. How could you launch such a sneak attack?!" Li Kai shouted, his face contorted with rage and the veins on his face bulging.
They had given it their all for the past three days, finally arriving here, hoping to reach the summit. But to face such a blow in the end is something no one could accept.
Lu Dong resumed his usual serious expression, observing the four people's disheveled state, exhaustion, and anger.
"We never said there was an ambush on the high ground, but we also never said there wasn't. It was your own carelessness! Do you think the enemy will act according to your plans once we're on the battlefield?"
His words were forceful and clear, leaving Li Kai and the other three feeling angry but unable to vent their frustration.
"Besides, even if your group manages to get up here successfully, the operation will still be a failure. I don't need to explain that, do I?"
Li Kai was tense all over, his clenched fists never loosening.
The other three had clearly given up "resisting". Lu Dong was right; the rule was that a team of five had to reach the high ground to be considered successful.
Lu Dong abruptly changed his tone, shifting from his sharp demeanor to a statement of affirmation: "Of course, as the first to arrive here, you are quite remarkable."
Li Kai's face was full of resentment.
Lu Dong ended the topic, "Alright. You've all worked hard. There's food and drinks over there, so get some rest. Wait for the others, and then we'll go back together."
Hearing that there is food and drink, most of the negative emotions are swept away.
Although they seemed to have been tricked by the instructors, it was just a training exercise and there was no need to take it too seriously.
The three of them pulled the silent Li Kai aside.
There's nothing happier than having enough to eat these days.
Lu Dong's actions left Xu Xiao and Wu Lei speechless.
They could already imagine that the bishop would use the same rhetoric to deal with every member of the mission team who arrived.
