Inside the Lingshan Military Region base.
In a room full of instruments, Gu Beihuai was operating while wearing gloves.
There were very mixed fingerprints on the bracelet, with at least over twenty different people's touches.
Wanting to extract the fingerprints one by one and then compare would be very difficult.
From time to time, Gu Beihuai would lift his head and forcibly blink his eyes to relax them.
Mantou had already come back.
He kept standing outside the window watching. Whenever he saw this scene, his brows would frown deeply.
He really wanted to kick the door open and rush in!
His eyes were already so uncomfortable yet he was still working at high intensity. He'd go blind at this rate!
Finally after an hour, Gu Beihuai got up.
Mantou immediately pushed the door open and walked in: "Done?"
Gu Beihuai rubbed his eyes: "Mm."
Mantou: "Did you find Major General Xin Zi’s fingerprints?"
Gu Beihuai nodded, his expression not great: "Yes, a lot."
Mantou's heart thudded.
That meant this bracelet was indeed the one that belonged to Xin Zi!
Gu Beihuai put the analysis report into a file folder and handed it to Mantou: "Help submit this for me, my eyes..."
As he spoke, he covered both eyes.
Large amounts of black halos and white spots appeared before his eyes.
No matter how much he blinked and shook his head, it was useless.
Mantou wanted to say something but ultimately just patted Gu Beihuai comfortingly on the shoulder and turned to go submit the material.
Gu Beihuai sat quietly in the room for a while, waiting for the medic to take him for observation and treatment.
For now he...
Couldn't see anything.
............
Soon Mantou charged into Han Ting's office. After reporting in with one sentence, a file folder was tossed onto the desk.
Han Ting was on a phone call. He glanced up at Mantou.
No manners!
Without another word Mantou stepped forward, opened the file folder, and shoved the fingerprint extraction comparison paper in Han Ting's face, waving it vigorously!
Han Ting: "..." Getting more and more out of line!
Mantou desperately signaled at him with his eyes, stop with the phone call!
Look! Quick, look!
Han Ting continued speaking into the receiver: "Understood, yes, the Lingshan Military Region will be ready at all times."
After hanging up—
Mantou immediately opened his mouth: "Major General Xin Zi's—"
Han Ting: "I know, you get out! Furthermore, for disturbing your superior officer's communication with their superiors, go run 30 laps carrying weights!"
Mantou: "Yes sir!"
He had flown back and forth to deliver paratroopers and rushed back to see Gu Beihuai's analysis results. And after just delivering them he got punished again.
But Mantou had no excuses or complaints. He really had disturbed his superior's duties due to impatience.
Off to go run!
The whole base was preparing to fight while he alone was being punished with running laps.
-----------------
In the border forest.
After Nan Xiangwan rushed back she immediately ran straight into an armed rebel fleeing with two comrades chasing behind. Further away one paratrooper was also climbing a tree, aiming a machine gun at the rebel greedily.
It really looked like he had his sights set hungrily!
The armed rebel was running extremely quickly without any load, just hugging a gun.
Who would've thought he'd slam right into Nan Xiangwan head-on!
The armed rebel was given a fright and amidst screaming ah ah ah, raised his gun and started wildly shooting.
Ratatatat!
......
The five members of this special forces Huaxia troop crossing the river to get here—
"Come come, let's flatten this fortress!"
"There's no need to flatten it when it's been blown to ruins, is there?"
"Leaving it so ugly like this? It damages the appearance of this place!"
"It damages the habitat for the wild animals here in the forest."
Originally still joking around, hearing the close-range sweep of gunfire, the five immediately became serious.
Then without another word they broke apart and charged into the forest from different directions!
Just now they clearly saw which direction that female troop headed into. That was precisely where the dense gunshots were coming from now.
Danger!
Although that female troop's picture was exaggerated and ugly, she was clearly still young.
They couldn't let this young pilot of their motherland get hurt.
They had to know, training an air force pilot cost no small amount of money!
......
Ratatatat!
Nan Xiangwan rolled to dodge behind a tree, while at the same time planting both feet against the trunk and grasping it to climb up.
Up the tree!
The sweep of the rifle up ahead continued as that person recklessly fought for his life now that he was cornered.
As Nan Xiangwan swiftly climbed, that whole tree was also riddled with bullet holes, densely packed.
Just as that armed rebel continued sweeping gunfire while yelling and pushing forward to attack—
Nan Xiangwan was already leaping through the branches overhead!
Jumping towards another tree!
At the same time, midair—
Taking aim!
The dark muzzle cold and merciless!
Clearly the armed rebel didn't expect a paratrooper to suddenly appear overhead out of nowhere. Caught completely off guard, his reaction time was far inferior to Nan Xiangwan who had been lying in ambush the whole time.
So when he had just raised his muzzle—
Nan Xiangwan pulled the trigger.
Bang!
One bullet shot straight out and in an instant pierced his forehead.
From when Nan Xiangwan started climbing to when she leapt up and that moment of suspension in air as she sniped, the entire process took less than ten-odd seconds.
This wasn't her first time messing around with midair shooting, just that last time the gun was a toy while this time it was a real one!
The feeling of a live round shooting out and penetrating an opponent's body was thrilling.
In the distance, the Lingshan paratroopers chasing gave pause, all witnessing this scene of Nan Xiangwan rising up through the air to shoot.
Hmph, so damn cool!
The five rushing over from Huaxia's special forces to provide backup also witnessed this entire scene.
The five were left speechless on the spot.
And to think they had hurried over, worried about arriving too late.
Wow, this young female troop could actually pull off midair sniping!
Unreal!
Had Lingshan's air force become this freakish now?
The armed rebel on the ground was deader than dead. And he was also the last one being chased. The rest had already been annihilated by the other six paratroopers.
The two squads met and quickly tallied their numbers.
Nan Xiangwan's side had 7 people; they confirmed killing 12 armed rebels total.
When Teng Shihai first descended he used one rocket to take out three enemies. Combined with the four Nan Xiangwan hunted down, the two of them took out over half.
The five from Huaxia's special forces had given long chase all the way from very far. They reported killing 34 armed rebels total.
These 12 were the last batch on this route!
The two sides together calculated and their moods eased up.
The enemy was annihilated!
The only ones left now were their own people!
Although the two forces belonged to different troops, were under different military regions, and took orders from different commanders and divisions—
They were still all Huaxia's military!
And so very casually they started conversing genially.
One person stepped forward and asked directly: "Comrades, share some supplies! We've been without rice for nearly three days! I'll trade my underwear for some!"
Another was even more direct to start grabbing: "Share share, are there any bullets? Let our squad pay you back later! I'll trade my stinky socks for some!"
A third's hands were even quicker, pulling out chocolate from Teng Shihai's bag: "Hand it over!"
They couldn't linger; they had to hurry back immediately to provide support elsewhere.
Teng Shihai and his squad of 6 were stunned speechless!
Holy crap, were all special ops this rogue-like?
Shameless thieves!
Hey hey hey!
We'll give it back to them!
Yo yo yo, stop snatching that!
The group horsed around joyously for a while.
Their leader then came forward and saluted: "Oriental Divine Sword Special Forces Team—Ren Hongxin! Thank you Lingshan Military Region for your firepower support!"
Ren Hongxin was in his mid-thirties, but his skin was coarse and dark from years of fighting abroad, making him look more like mid-forties.
But now his smile was bright as he was in good spirits to have encountered kinsmen here.
"Oriental Divine Sword Special Forces Team—Lu Xingxiu!"
"Oriental Divine Sword Special Forces Team—Shen Tang!"
"Oriental Divine Sword Special Forces Team—Gao Qiran!"
"Oriental Divine Sword Special Forces Team—Wu Yongjun!"
The four all introduced themselves one by one as Eastern Sword special ops!
Badass!
