A slightly hurried but still relatively calm reply came through the channel: "We encountered two stragglers sneaking in!"
"It's been resolved and cleaned up. You can continue along the original route; we'll speed up our approach!"
Despite what the other party said, Xia Zhining's unease suddenly intensified.
In the jungle, gunshots can easily reveal your location.
Something's not right...
Xia Zhining whispered to Gu Huaiye and Ji Shuyun, and at the same time immediately focused her mind and issued a command into her headset: "Ya Ya! Switch to high-altitude wide-angle view!"
"Focus your reconnaissance on the route between Falcon Squad and us, as well as the area further out around them! Don't just look at what's nearby!"
[clear! ]
Boss Crow soared upwards like a black arrow, its sharp bird's-eye view instantly covering a wider area.
Just seconds later, Boss Crow's urgent voice poured down like ice water:
[Lemon! There's an ambush! Not just two, but many!]
[On the path the Falcon Squad was likely to take, people were lying motionless deep in the bushes on three different directions!]
[The little sparrows just risked flying low and confirmed there were at least fifteen or sixteen of them!]
[They were all wounded, some with bandages, some limping... but they all held guns, lying there like dead men.]
Sixteen people!
The number made Xia Zhining's heart sink, but a detail instantly alerted her: "There are people in three directions? Why is one direction left empty?"
This could absolutely not be an oversight!
In jungle ambush warfare, a deliberately left escape route is often a more deadly trap!
Just then, Mist Fang, who had been scouting on the ground, transmitted crucial intelligence: [Lemon! Don't go in that open direction!]
[Dark Star has sniffed it out; there's a strong smell of rust and gunpowder underground in that area—landmines are buried!]
really!
Xia Zhining immediately suppressed her shock and reported urgently over the communication channel: "Falcon! Falcon! The chase just now was a trap!"
"They deliberately sent two stragglers over for you to deal with, just to lower your guard!"
"There are at least sixteen wounded soldiers lying in ambush in the bushes at the three o'clock, nine o'clock, and twelve o'clock positions ahead!"
"The six o'clock position they left is a minefield!"
Almost at the same time she was reporting, Gu Huaiye and Ji Shuyun exchanged a quick glance under the cover of the bushes.
Both were experienced battlefield hunters, and they understood each other's intentions almost instantly.
"Their target is likely not just the Falcon team; they may have guessed that the police would send a medical team to treat the seriously wounded members of the Falcon team."
Gu Huaiye spoke in a very low voice, his words coming out very quickly, "Look, the soldiers in the ambush are all wounded. Their medical resources must have collapsed, and they desperately need doctors."
"Among us, who is the most conspicuous and the most valuable?"
Gu Huaiye's gaze swept over himself and the four field doctors behind him who were wearing uniforms with obvious medical markings.
Ji Shuyun immediately understood Gu Huaiye's plan, her eyes narrowing: "You want to be the bait?"
“Yes.” Gu Huaiye was almost cruelly calm. “I and four field medics carried the stretcher and pretended not to notice the ambush to provide backup.”
