782: 773rd chapter Heartfelt Intentions 782: 773rd chapter Heartfelt Intentions Jansen’s drone provided excellent visibility, allowing Gao Yang to observe the battlefield from angles he had never imagined before and to launch attacks.
Injuring one person hiding behind a mound of sand was just the beginning.
Gao Yang saw another person hiding behind a dirt embankment, gesturing as if he were directing others to counterattack.
Unable to shoot the person behind the embankment from his current position, but aware of the enemy’s location, Gao Yang didn’t need to stay put.
He whispered to Jansen, “Take my rifle and follow me.”
After speaking, Gao Yang picked up his gun and stealthily began to move laterally.
By the time he had taken a wide detour to the enemy’s flank, he could see three people hiding.
The distance was not far, and there was no need for difficult penetrating shots.
Gao Yang set down the shotgun and took the AKM handed to him by Jansen.
After a brief aim, he fired three quick shots at the people who were either lying or crouching.
After the three successful shots, Jansen suddenly exclaimed loudly, “They’re moving again!
Are they trying to flee?”
Gao Yang glanced at the small screen, and indeed, the remaining few were fleeing.
Without a good shooting position, Gao Yang couldn’t stop the remaining few from leaving, unless he caught up to them for a better angle.
But he had no intention of stopping them from escaping.
After confirming that several people had indeed left, Gao Yang radioed, “Radar, the enemy has fled.
You take command of the slaves that were captured.
I’ll go catch that injured guy.
Be careful and quick!”
After speaking, Gao Yang urgently said to Jansen, “Hold onto my shotgun, don’t stow the drone, and follow me, but keep some distance.”
After hurrying through these instructions, Gao Yang stood up and ran towards the injured person behind the mound of sand.
Bantuna was further ahead than Gao Yang.
Not fully following Gao Yang’s commands, he rushed toward the river and urgently radioed, “These people probably won’t surrender easily.
If you want to capture them alive, distract him.
I’ll grab him from behind.”
After Bantuna spoke, he quickly ran behind a tree less than ten meters from the mound of sand and hid there, waiting until he saw Gao Yang stop and raise his gun; then Bantuna stealthily approached the sand mound.
Gao Yang raised his gun, and the man with the injured leg indeed showed no intention of surrendering.
Upon seeing Gao Yang, he freed his leg and directed a burst of bullets from his rifle at Gao Yang.
Gao Yang dropped to the ground and fired at the injured man but deliberately missed, as he still intended to capture him alive.
Gao Yang taunted the injured man by continuously drawing his fire, but it wasn’t long before Bantuna sprang from the sand mound, leaping over it and landing on the enemy’s hand.
He then quickly followed it with a blow from his gunstock and immediately wrestled the gun from the enemy’s hands.
After successfully disarming him, Bantuna yelled toward the people in the river, “You’re saved, you’re free!
Come this way, hurry!”
The poor captives, who were taken to work as slaves, were in dire straits and, seeing hope, no longer cared about questioning Bantuna’s identity.
After his call, although some didn’t quite understand, seeing those who did understand running toward the shore, all of them quickly followed suit and ran towards Bantuna.
When Gao Yang reached Bantuna’s side, he shouted at the captive under Bantuna’s foot, “Tell me, how many more of you are there?”
The injured captive, grimacing in pain, spat at Gao Yang after hearing his question and angrily shouted, “Go to hell!”
Bantuna stomped down on the captive’s injured foot, and amid the captives harrowing scream, he coldly said, “Asshole, you better honestly answer what he’s asked you, or you’ll learn what pain is.”
A flicker of fear appeared in the captive’s pained expression, and at this moment, Bantuna turned to Gao Yang, saying, “Boss, I know these bastards.
They are ruthless to powerless civilians, but if you show them force, they crumble easily.”
After speaking to Gao Yang, Bantuna unblinkingly pulled out a machete and without hesitation or warning, swung it down, severing the hand that he was stepping on.
Amid another agonizing scream, Bantuna barked, “I don’t have time for your bullshit!
Answer honestly, and I’ll give you a quick death.
Otherwise, I’ll sever all your limbs.”
Just then, the fastest of the laborers nearly reached Bantuna.
Seeing his actions, the front few stopped in their tracks, horror-stricken at the sight of Bantuna.
Gao Yang knew some of them could speak English.
He shouted, “Don’t worry, we’re here to help you escape.
We’re not the bad guys.
We just can’t bear to see you enslaved.
Listen up, you need to help each other.
Those with strength, help those who can’t move get into the forest and wait for us.
We’ll take you away from this region.”
Gao Yang hastily spoke, then shouted at the still screaming captive, “Shut up, tell me how many people you have, where the camp is, where is Captain Sadik!”
The captive, clutching his severed wrist, yelled back, “I don’t know!”
The captive was tough, so Bantuna raised the machete again, and this time the captive immediately shouted, “There are fifty of us, fifty in total!
They are in the camp, I don’t know where Captain Sadik is!”
Upon hearing there were more people, Gao Yang said urgently, “We can’t stay here long, let’s go back to the forest to ask, those laborers can also provide information, take this captive with us, hurry.”
After he finished speaking, Gao Yang shouted to the majority of laborers who had already reached him, “Listen, stop stripping off clothes, grab the guns, and follow us quickly!”
The people standing in front of Gao Yang, each bore scars, seeming like whip marks, some still had bloodstains, some had scars that had formed, and one thing in common was, none of them had clothes to wear, regardless of gender.
Unable to hold back, someone burst into tears, Gao Yang urged, “Don’t rush to cry!
You are not safe yet, listen to me, pick up the guns, follow me, forget about grabbing clothes, hurry.”
Bantuna also shouted few words in another language to the laborers, then people gradually followed Gao Yang into the forest.
These laborers were in varying conditions, some walked fast, but others staggered, struggling heavily.
Although their physical condition did not look very good, these laborers did not look very thin.
Captain Sadik, who presumably made good money from their labor, would not be stingy enough to not feed them; it’s just that the daily heavy work, always in the water, in the jungle near the river full of mosquitoes, it was no wonder the laborers were ill.
Bantuna instructed two physically fit laborers to carry the captive, and a large group began to enter the forest.
Gao Yang said to a few laborers beside him, “You are saved, we will do our best to take you to a safe place, to send you home.”
One laborer said urgently to Gao Yang, “Are there only three of you?
But those villains have a lot of people.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, you will be safely evacuated.
Do you have any other companions?
Others like you, are there any?
Also, where do you live, how far from here, how far are those villains from here, how long will it take for them to catch up?”
The laborer speaking to Gao Yang shook his head sadly and said, “Everyone’s here, the others are dead, sir, my son and wife died here.”
The laborer seemed to be seeking comfort, Gao Yang was slightly stunned and said, “I am very sorry, I can feel your sorrow, and I think I will avenge you.”
Having become a hero, Gao Yang did not mind appearing a bit more grandiose, he patted the back of that sorrowful laborer and gently said, “It’s over, all is past, where are you from?
You will go home, I promise you can go back, I will stop those villains, you will definitely be able to go home safely.”
After hearing Gao Yang’s words, that black laborer hesitated for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Gao Yang’s arm and exclaimed loudly, “May God bless you, sir, I just found this in the river, I give it to you, thank you for avenging me, thank you for rescuing me, sir, thank you.”
The laborer stuffed something into Gao Yang’s hand, Gao Yang opened his hand and found it was a diamond.
A diamond the size of a soybean lay in the palm of Gao Yang’s hand, and as far as diamonds were concerned, Gao Yang knew a soybean size was already quite large.
Looking at the laborer, Gao Yang said solemnly, “Uh, actually you can keep it.”
The laborer shook his head, his face full of sorrow, and said, “Sir, I would rather give it to you, to thank you for rescuing me from hell.”
At that moment, a woman quickly walked a few steps forward, one hand supporting Gao Yang’s hand, the other placing a diamond on top of his hand, then tightly grasping Gao Yang’s hand, she spoke many words in tears that Gao Yang could not understand.
A few more people gradually approached Gao Yang, repeating the same action, placing diamonds they had just found in Gao Yang’s hand.
When a laborer put a diamond the size of a green bean into Gao Yang’s hand, he said solemnly, “Sir, we can find many diamonds in a day, these are just what we found this morning, it’s not much, although these things have brought us misfortune, we only use them to thank you, sir, this is our gratitude, we found these diamonds, we voluntarily give them to you, they are not tainted with blood.”
Gao Yang was deeply moved, he had nine diamonds in his hand, the largest the size of a soybean, the smallest about the size of a sesame seed.
These raw diamonds might not be worth much money, but Gao Yang was very grateful for their gesture.
After sighing, Gao Yang said to those laborers, “Thank you, but you need to quickly tell me, how far is your camp from here?
In which direction?”(to be continued.
