Chapter 1301: No Escape
At this moment, the female spy was leaning against the tree sleeping soundly.
It's hard to imagine that the terrifying presence, who had crossed the Lamagan Desert on foot and exhausted an entire company of Lesotho Warriors in the jungle, turned out to be such a delicate woman.
The reward this time is quite substantial. As long as the spy is found, it's an immediate special merit, accompanied by a ten million Lesotho Currency reward.
So, whether it's the armies of the two political parties or the local militias, they all entered the jungle, searching for Piao Xue.
A young Lesotho Warrior's face showed joy. Within five days, more than two hundred soldiers had entered the jungle, but it was ultimately he who discovered the spy.
And the spy seemed to be dreaming, so he could subdue her without any effort!
He seemed to already see the special merit and ten million Lesotho Currency beckoning to him.
"Something's wrong!"
Suddenly, the young Lesotho Warrior's heart raced because behind him, the captain's figure had already disappeared.
"Captain?"
The young Lesotho Warrior called out quietly a couple of times, but no one responded to him.
Click, click!
The glistening semi-automatic rifle freshly polished, the young warrior cautiously looked around.
It was night; the surroundings were pitch-black. Only starlight filtered through the gaps in the dense forest, adding to the eerily terrifying atmosphere.
Under a big tree, the young warrior found their captain, but at this moment, the captain had already become a corpse. A sharpened bullet casing was embedded in the captain's carotid artery, and blood gushed out steadily along the blood groove carved beside the bullet casing.
The young warrior swallowed, icy fear surged in his heart, unable to fathom that the tiger-like captain was quietly taken down by a machine gun bullet casing.
It seemed the captain himself couldn't believe that he'd met his end from a bullet casing, without even seeing the enemy. That's why his eyes were still wide open when he died.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, the young warrior slowly extended his hand; he couldn't let the captain die without closing his eyes.
Just at that moment, a powerful hand suddenly covered his mouth, and sharp pain came from his throat.
"Ugh~ Ugh~"
Blood gushed out uncontrollably from his throat, like streaks of crimson fountain. The young warrior tried desperately to press on his throat, attempting to close the wound, but he couldn't.
Half a minute later, the young warrior's hands fell limp, his eyes staring wide, just like his captain, dying without ever seeing his enemy.
Although it was merely a life that had just turned twenty, Piao Xue showed no mercy.
This is the battlefield; it's either you or me.
A moment of mercy could only lead to one's destruction.
Under a tree large enough for two people to encircle, seven corpses were neatly stacked. They wore the same clothes, carried the same equipment, all staring wide, dying without closing their eyes.
"Sister Piao Xue, you're truly amazing." Lu Qi's admiration for Piao Xue could only be described as utter reverence.
An elite squad, taken down quietly by Piao Xue, using nothing more than a few bullet casings rigged into rudimentary traps and sharpened bullet casings.
The most important thing is that Piao Xue is blind.
However, at night, this became her advantage.
It was at this moment that Lu Qi finally understood the purpose of the bullet casings.
It seemed any seemingly useless thing, once in Piao Xue's hands, would become a terrifying weapon.
"Great, with this equipment, next time we encounter them, we can put up a fight!" Lu Qi excitedly said, struggling as he held a German-made HK21 automatic machine gun.
Piao Xue tossed a dark military knife next to Lu Qi, saying, "Leave the gun, take this."
"Why?" Lu Qi was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Piao Xue opted for melee weapons when machine guns were obviously more powerful.
"Gunfire will expose our position, and with the gun so heavy, can you even handle it?" Piao Xue said calmly.
Although she also wanted to bring the machine gun, for Lu Qi, who found aiming difficult enough, carrying it would be a burden. And as for Piao Xue, the machine gun wasn't that useful anymore.
Reluctantly, Lu Qi put down the machine gun and picked up the cold and heavy military knife.
Piao Xue fiddled with the corpses for a while before she and Lu Qi set off.
Half a day after Piao Xue and Lu Qi left, another team found their comrades.
Seeing the bodies stacked together, with strips of military T-shirts ripped and hung on the corpses, the captain was furious.
On those strips, written in Lesotho language, were the words: "Lesotho's soldiers are nothing but sick cats, one comes, I kill one, two come, I kill the pair!"
The writing was slightly blackened, dried bloodstains.
This was blatant provocation!
"Bastard!"
The captain was furious, ripping the strips down.
Ding ding ding!
A familiar sound rang out.
The captain, puzzled, lifted the bodies, only to see a row of grenades neatly lying underneath, their pins already pulled.
"Get down!"
Boom boom boom!
A series of explosions rang out, blasting apart the captain and the other five Lesotho soldiers.
"What? E Team and G Team were all wiped out? Impossible!"
"Continue searching, no matter the cost, find them!"
...
"Report, lost contact with B Team."
"Found B Team's bodies, all were wiped out!"
"Found C Team's bodies..."
"F Team, all wiped out..."
...
Five more days passed, still no trace of the female spy, but of the 200 Lesotho Warriors who entered the jungle, only 117 remained!
The entire Capital of Lesotho was shocked.
Two women, in the jungle, had exhausted more than eighty trained Lesotho Warriors.
"Deploy Special Forces into the jungle!" Julia's uncles were about to go mad.
"We've already locked down the general area of the spy, just need to narrow the scope further to capture them!"
The Special Forces, worthy of their name, quickly found traces of the spies. Although they hadn't seen them, they had deduced the general area where they were from clues left behind by the two women.
"The Red Striped Snake lived up to its name, truly didn't disappoint."
The Red Striped Snake, a special unit of Lesotho, comprised of eleven men, each an elite amongst the elite. It could be said that the combat power of these eleven even surpassed the two hundred Lesotho soldiers initially sent into the jungle!
Another five hundred Lesotho soldiers entered the jungle, forming a circular barricade. Countless helicopters hovered above the dense forest; this time, the female spy seemed cornered with no way out.
"We can't escape..." Lu Qi's face turned pale.
