At this moment, Yang Rui crawled over intending to negotiate tactics with the Venomous Snake Special Team, but what he saw in Lin Beichen's hand—a handmade grass bird—left him stunned.
In the midst of the raging battle, Lin Beichen still had the leisure to craft by hand?
However, what happened next left him even more speechless.
Lin Beichen tied a yellow paper covered with runes onto the bird and dripped his blood onto it.
He chanted softly before releasing the bird.
The bird seemed to come alive, skillfully dodging the gunfire as it flew directly towards the enemy.
Soon after, a loud explosion occurred, destroying an enemy off-road vehicle.
Yang Rui and the members of the Venomous Snake Special Team were dumbfounded; they had never seen such an eerie method of combat.
Yet Lin Beichen calmly continued to weave the next bird, preparing to launch another attack.
Shock and admiration brought Yang Rui back to his senses, and he quickly rejoined the intense battle.
He ordered team member Lu Chen to pinpoint the enemy's location for more precise attacks.
At this moment, their confidence soared. With Lin Beichen's mysterious weapon aiding them, victory seemed to be within their reach.
Yang Rui shouted loudly into his radio with a tone of urgency.
Within a second, a reply came to his ear, answering his inner doubts.
"The enemy is southeast of the convoy!" The voice came from Lin Beichen, who calmly watched Yang Rui without a ripple on his face.
Yang Rui quickly turned his head to meet Lin Beichen's deep eyes, mildly astonished.
Just then, Lu Chen's voice came through the radio, his answer matching Lin Beichen's exactly, as if they shared some kind of tacit understanding.
Lu Chen, as the team's medical expert, though also quite skilled in combat—especially his mastery of artificial laser-guided skills—is unparalleled in the team. But at this moment, Yang Rui was amazed to find that the young man from the Venomous Snake Special Team, Lin Beichen, was even quicker in response.
Soon after, Lin Beichen displayed his mysterious methods again.
He deftly took out a talisman paper and skillfully tied it to a bird he had woven by hand.
With a gentle toss, the bird flew straight towards the southeastern direction like a nimble elf.
Soon after, a deafening explosion sounded. Flames shot skyward, sending sand flying, and chaos erupted in the front.
"Excellent!" Yang Rui couldn't help but cheer; they had successfully destroyed the enemy's mortar position, which undoubtedly turned the tide in their favor.
He quickly adjusted his stance and issued new instructions to his teammates through the radio.
The members of the Dragon Assault Team responded promptly, each launching their rapid actions.
Yang Rui also picked up a cloudburst bomb, charging towards a strategic position at the side.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen gazed deeply towards the distant hill, frowning as if pondering something.
His gaze deepened—since the enemy had set such a meticulous ambush here, there was likely more in store for them.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, as if trying to expel the uneasiness within his heart as well.
"Everyone, watch out; the enemy might have a sniper!" Lin Beichen suddenly spoke, his tone firm and powerful, as if he had seen through everything.
Yang Rui immediately turned upon hearing this, his face full of doubt.
They hadn't detected any signs of snipers, so why was Lin Beichen so certain?
However, Lin Beichen didn't give him time to explain, merely saying casually, "Trust my intuition."
He then turned towards the scattered weapons and equipment, selecting an M110 sniper rifle. But upon seeing the gun, he couldn't help but sigh, evidently dissatisfied with its performance.
"How does your assault team use such a gun?" Lin Beichen couldn't help but critique.
Yang Rui glanced at the gun in Lin Beichen's hand, showing a resigned expression: "This operation is an overseas infiltration mission, and the weapons were provided by the Ivya side. We didn't expect such a situation either."
Lin Beichen shook his head wryly: "Forget it, let's make do. I'll go to the vantage point with Gu Shun. You guys cover us!" With that, he, Gu Shun, and Li Dong prepared to head towards the vantage point on the front hill.
Xia Luyao couldn't help but call out as they left: "Lin Beichen, be careful!"
Lin Beichen turned back, offering a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
With that, he quickly advanced with his teammates towards the vantage point.
Under the cover of Yang Rui's cloudburst bomb, they successfully concealed themselves in the smoke, while Xu Hong and Lu Chen were doing their best to rescue the employees on the bus.
At this time, smoke filled the hill, providing excellent cover for their actions.
However, as time passed, the smoke gradually dispersed, and Yang Rui anxiously asked Gu Shun if he had reached his position. But the response was only Gu Shun's anxious voice: "Not yet reached the position!"
Yang Rui's heart tightened. He took out the last cloudburst bomb in his backpack, unhesitatingly launching it forward!
A loud boom filled the air again, and the front hill was once again engulfed in thick smoke. But at this critical moment, a bullet suddenly shot towards Yang Rui!
"Ugh!" Yang Rui grunted, feeling a sharp pain in his thigh. Instinctively, he pressed his wound, blood seeping slowly through his fingers. Filled with regret, he wondered why he hadn't listened to Lin Beichen's advice earlier.
He quickly issued a warning to his teammates via radio: "Everyone be aware! There's a sniper! Everyone, be cautious!"
At this moment, he finally realized that Lin Beichen's previous concern was not unfounded.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen and his teammates had already reached below the vantage point. They quickly dispersed, initiating swift actions, fearless in the face of danger, displaying the courage and bravery of special forces members.
During their dispersed actions, Lin Beichen volunteered to deal with the sniper, using his sharp intuition and outstanding skills to successfully locate the sniper's position, ready to counterattack.
His calmness and confidence inspired those around him, further solidifying their determination to defeat the enemy.
Gu Shun doubtfully raised his question.
Lin Beichen's response was unperturbed: "I can guarantee it with your head."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shun was immediately reassured.
Since Lin Beichen dared to make such a guarantee, he must have a plan.
However, just as he was about to respond, he sensed something was wrong.
"Wait, did you just say you'll guarantee it with my head?" Gu Shun was stunned.
"What kind of guarantee is that!" he couldn't help but retort, "If something goes wrong, wouldn't I be buried here?"
Lin Beichen's movements were swift, unmatched by Gu Shun, and he had already reached the vantage point, hiding behind a large boulder.
He quickly set up his firearm, targeting the previously observed target.
Upon hearing Gu Shun's complaints, he impatiently urged, "What's taking so long, hurry up and get in position!"
Hearing this, Gu Shun said no more and swiftly dashed forward.
Below, the mortars continued to bomb.
Lin Beichen's previous explosive talisman had only destroyed one enemy position.
However, the enemy was clearly prepared and quickly reloaded to continue bombing the convoy.
At this moment, Lin Beichen's sharp eyes caught sight of enemies reloading mortars on the left, intending to bombard the team below.
He immediately adjusted his aim, locked on the target, and decisively pulled the trigger.
...
As the smoke dispersed, Yang Rui closely scrutinized the scene, anxiously calling out through the communicator: "Gu Shun, hurry! The smoke is clearing!"
Simultaneously, Xia Luyao also anxiously called into the communicator: "Lin Beichen, hurry up, quickly get in position!"
If the smoke fully cleared and they hadn't reached their positions, they would be exposed to the enemy's view, with unimaginable consequences.
"Bang!" A gunshot pierced the silence, the bullet penetrating the distant enemy's skull, blood spraying everywhere.
