420: Chapter Four Hundred and Seventeen: Very Easy 420: Chapter Four Hundred and Seventeen: Very Easy As the lights came on, there were a few dissatisfied grumbles from inside the room, followed by the loud voice of someone speaking.
However, from the tone, it seemed the speaker was scolding rather than warning.
The unexpected turn of events did not throw Gao Yang and his team into disarray.
Before anyone could emerge from the room, they quickened their pace, moving swiftly to either side of the room’s entrance.
Using hand signals to assign Team B the task of focusing on the remaining sentries in the trees, Gao Yang reached for two defensive hand grenades from his combat vest, pulled the pins, while Li Jinfang and Sirte aimed their guns at the doorway.
Soon after footsteps could be heard inside the room, another person opened the inwards-swinging door, yawning, with a flashlight in his left hand.
The moment he opened the door, Li Jinfang suddenly fired his gun.
Li Jinfang shot with his HK416 almost point-blank at the person opening the door.
After dropping the first person to the ground, Sirte fired his shotgun in rapid succession.
Several people huddled by the doorway quickly fell, danced about.
In just a moment, there were no more people standing at the entrance.
That’s when Gao Yang threw both grenades into the room.
After tossing the grenades inside, Li Jinfang and Sirte quickly ducked and covered, and following two explosions, Sirte was the first to rush into the room.
As Li Jinfang opened fire, Team B also commenced shooting.
The two sentries in the trees were instantly taken down by concentrated fire, and after Glolov cleared one of the sentries from the tree with his machine gun, he immediately turned the barrel and opened fire on another nearby room occupied by enemy forces, splinters flying as he unleashed burst fire.
Gao closely followed Sirte into the room, Sirte raised his gun to the right, while after entering, Gao was responsible for clearing to the left.
The room wasn’t small and contained a large communal bed, which was already empty.
Everyone had fallen to the ground, primarily gathered by the doorway.
With everyone lying on the ground, Gao saw no one else standing.
There was only one person writhing on the floor.
After Gao put one more round into him, he heard Sirte loudly shout from behind, “Clear!”
“Clear!”
After also shouting, Gao and Sirte immediately turned and ran outside; this room had been cleared.
Next, they needed to assault the adjacent building.
Li Jinfang had not entered the room.
After Gao and Sirte exited, he immediately followed them both toward the next house.
Glolov was raking the area with machine-gun fire, paying special attention to the doorway.
As for the other members, after taking out the sentinels, they had spread out, each covering a direction to prevent anyone from charging out of other houses unexpectedly.
Seeing that Gao and his team were nearing the doorway, Glolov immediately shifted the bullet impact point to either side of the door, clearing the entrance for them.
As Gao and his team ran for the door, Glolov’s gun was constantly in front of them at a distance of about a meter, meaning there was a stream of gunfire a meter ahead of Gao.
If anyone in the house thought about rushing through the doorway, they’d have to consider passing through this stream of bullets that could penetrate wooden walls.
Working in coordination with the wall of fire provided by Glolov takes real guts.
Not everyone can ignore a stream of bullets flying past them with indifference.
However, Glolov had confidence in himself; no matter how close he was, he wasn’t afraid of hitting his own men, and Gao and his team had the same confidence in Glolov.
They knew the bullets were just inches away, but they were no threat to them.
Before reaching the door, Li Jinfang had already pulled out two defensive grenades, waiting.
As they reached the entry, Gao Yang fired his shotgun at the location of the door latch, and then Sirte kicked it open.
After the door swung inward, Li Jinfang threw the two grenades inside with a whoosh.
After waiting for the grenades to explode, Glolov immediately stopped firing.
Gao Yang, carrying his shotgun, rushed into the room.
It was a large dormitory-style space, but most of the people in it were still lying in their beds.
Gao Yang looked around, only to see two individuals lying motionless on the ground in front of a bed.
Regardless of whether the individuals were dead or alive, Gao Yang fired his shotgun at each of the five people he could see, and Sirte’s gun also went off several times.
Then, almost in unison, they both shouted, “Clear!”
After yelling clear, Gao Yang and Sirte quickly reloaded their shotguns.
At that moment, Gao Yang heard Frey urgently say, “Found three people, all dealt with.”
Gao Yang ran out of the room, the gunfire had stopped.
Everyone was searching for new targets, but it seemed there were no more living people in the camp, and after the gunfire ceased, silence enveloped the camp.
Behind Gao Yang, Sirte said, “The numbers are off, there should be at least one hundred fifty people here, but we only found thirty-two.”
Gao Yang of course also realized something was amiss.
He urgently said, “Check if there are any survivors among the enemy, start searching the battlefield in pairs, and be careful.”
There were only about a dozen buildings in the camp, and the search was completed quickly.
Most of the buildings were empty, and it seemed as if the only people in the entire camp were the thirty-two that they had already disposed of.
Using a flashlight, Gao Yang checked the corpses one by one, confirming what was already inevitable—Teodulo was not among them.
Despite an extremely easy assault where the enemy didn’t even have a chance to fire their weapons, without having eliminated Teodulo, such a battle was useless no matter how many times it was fought.
A mission to eliminate a specific target is like this—if the target is not taken down, then everything done is meaningless.
To ensure safety, Gao Yang and his men had acted too decisively, leaving no one alive to interrogate.
After gathering together, Gao Yang shrugged helplessly and said, “Guys, the result isn’t good.
Teodulo isn’t here, so our mission isn’t over.”
Glolov spoke in a heavy voice, “Although Teodulo isn’t here, the presence of over thirty people means this camp hasn’t been abandoned.
I think Teodulo might still come back.
Could we perhaps stay and ambush him?”
After Glolov finished speaking, Sirte waved his hand and said with an easy smile, “Enough, no need to guess.
Teodulo couldn’t have gone anywhere else.
If he’s not in the camp, then he’s definitely gone to Santo Onos Town.”
Gao Yang looked at Sirte, “Are you sure?”
Sirte said, “I’m very sure that Teodulo has gone to Santo Onos Town.
The reason is simple: Teodulo wants to turn Santo Onos Town into a production base.
I don’t know why he’s not at this camp, but he must have gone to Santo Onos Town.
Until he fully controls the town and establishes his base, he won’t leave.”
Gao Yang immediately said, “Staying for an ambush involves too many variables.
Let’s go to Santo Onos Town to find Teodulo, he’s definitely going to be there.”(To be continued.
