“Wow, impressive stuff! No wonder 1 nailed that shot even in the smoke,” exclaimed the head of the cooking team as he held the thermal imager in his hands, genuinely amazed.
Taking the night vision goggles off his eyes, he smiled at Wang Ye and said, “Wang Ye, you’re amazing!”
“Let me see it again, show me!” As an armsman, Wen Shu was bursting with enthusiasm for this piece of equipment.
“Wang Ye!” At this moment, Jiang Nan called out with a serious expression.
“Lieutenant!” With a hint of a smile, Wang Ye turned to look.
“Take the map and leave this place as soon as possible. There was a battle here just now, be careful of other special forces coming in. Also, be cautious, don’t be too reckless, understand?”
While saying this, his eyes were fixed on the thermal imager.
He didn’t say it explicitly, but Wang Ye understood his meaning after a slight pause.
This valuable piece of equipment was now his spoils of war. As long as he didn’t die in battle, he could keep it in his hands.
After this mission, if the staff officer was cooperative, maybe he could even keep it permanently.
“All right!”
Wang Ye nodded.
“What I’m saying is, you’re alone, haven’t learned too much wilderness survival knowledge yet, and you’ve just become a scout, not yet a master in scout skills.
Since we’ve lost our comrades now, just take the map with you. But if you feel you’re not up for it, don’t force yourself. Find a place with abundant resources and focus on surviving. Don’t worry about confronting others; survival is the top priority.”
Looking into Wang Ye’s eyes, Jiang Nan spoke again. Afterward, he reached into his pocket and continued, “We’re giving you all the local delicacies we have with us, and there are still some places we haven’t harvested completely. You can go back to where we collected them, it’s not far from where we came in. Just stay there and try to make it through these five days, alright?”
He was afraid that Wang Ye didn’t fully grasp his intention, so he hinted once more.
However, this hint left Wang Ye feeling a bit speechless.
Was it necessary to be so explicit?
His words were quite clear, instructing him to go back and collect the local delicacies in the area not far from the entrance. Just stay there for five days.
Wang Ye felt a bit helpless because he still wanted to use the thermal imager to counter the enemy’s special forces. But now, Jiang Nan had already made his point.
“Alright!”
Wang Ye nodded in agreement.
In Wang Ye’s memory, advanced units in the Chinese military would be equipped with thermal imagers like the one he held, or even integrated ones with night vision goggles, but that was a few years down the road, not now.
Currently, this gadget is considered cutting-edge in our military, something even special forces highly covet. In regular units, reconnaissance soldiers haven’t even seen it before.
Wang Ye understood the significance and allure of this equipment.
“Yes, the backpack is right there under the makeshift tent. Take all the local delicacies, grab the backpack, and hurry on!” The head of the cooking team chimed in urgently.
Turning to Wen Shu, he said, “Stop researching, let Wang Ye take it and go first!”
However, the next moment, Wen Shu suddenly spoke up, “Wait, Wang Ye, it seems like this thing might need power. There are batteries here, and there’s a switch button on it!”
As he spoke, he handed it over, and quickly, Wang Ye and the other two were a bit surprised and gathered around.
Indeed, there was a section at the back of the device that seemed detachable.
“They must have spare batteries on them. Wang Ye, go search them!” Without hesitation, Wang Ye took the thermal imager and ran towards Owl first.
“Hey, buddy, where are the batteries?” Wang Ye got straight to the point.
Owl looked at Wang Ye but remained silent.
“Please cooperate. Of course, if you really want to die, don’t blame me for being rough!”
As he spoke, Wang Ye put his gun down with his right hand and then casually pulled out his knife.
Watching Wang Ye’s actions, Owl still remained silent. He even pursed his lips. As a special forces soldier, he had faced all sorts of situations. Interrogation and torture were child’s play for him. Why would he be afraid of this gadget?
This guy couldn’t actually kill him. Of course, Wang Ye couldn’t kill him, and he wouldn’t even harm him.
However, not harming someone didn’t mean Wang Ye couldn’t deal with him.
Seeing his stubborn refusal to cooperate and his silence, Wang Ye decided to take action.
With the knife in hand, he pulled at Owl’s clothes and started cutting them.
“Hey, what are you doing!” Owl couldn’t hold back and pushed Wang Ye away.
Wang Ye looked at him and suddenly smiled, “Aren’t you already a dead man? I’m going to cut all your clothes and check if there’s any loot 1 need inside!”
When he mentioned loot, Wang Ye’s tone became quite severe.
“Stop, I’ll give it to you!”
Owl compromised, quickly reached into a pocket in his tactical vest, and pulled out a black battery.
“Just this one!”
“I don’t believe you. You can continue playing dead; I’ll check it myself!”
Wang Ye didn’t buy it for a second. Even though he didn’t know how long a single battery could power the thermal imager, he couldn’t believe that there was only one spare battery.
Of course, maybe there really was only one on him, but Wang Ye still wanted to press him further.
“Stop, okay… there’s another one in my backpack!” Owl reluctantly confessed.
Of course, it wasn’t that he lacked backbone. He just knew that after having his clothes cut and with Wang Ye planning to search his backpack, there was no point in enduring that when the outcome wouldn’t change.
Soon, Wang Ye found three more batteries in his backpack.
Afterward, Wang Ye thoroughly searched his body, making sure there was nothing left. Then, Wang Ye took away his hand grenades as well..
