"Give him a quick death!" Wang Yao squatted down to take a closer look at the man.
This man was still alive, but his life was worse than death. He didn't know how many insects were constantly biting him, gnawing at his internal organs, blood, and brain. This was the most terrifying punishment. It would be difficult for him to commit suicide. He could only die in endless pain. A quick death was his biggest wish at the moment.
"I'll do it!"
Su Zhixing took out his pistol. With a poof, the man died completely, ending the pain.
"Where's the body?"
"Burn it," Wang Yao said. "These insects shouldn't be able to reproduce indefinitely, but it's better to be safe."
Soon, a soldier burned the body.
"Captain, the way this man died is a bit strange," Meng Wushuang said.
"What's wrong?"
Su Zhixing asked. "As far as I can see, this head was torn off from the neck," Meng Wushuang said.
"Torn off by hand?" Meng Wushuang asked.
"It's hard to say, but it feels like it," Meng Wushuang said.
"Do you think it's possible?"
The team carried out a brief battlefield cleanup and intelligence collection. They were now certain that in addition to the invading foreign armed forces, there was another force in the jungle. They had just had a conflict with the foreign armed forces and killed all of them.
"One of our own?"
Su Zhixing asked. "What do you mean by one of our own? I haven't received any notice from above," Meng Wushuang said. "If it's one of our own, our mission should be over."
"Who is it?"
Su Zhixing asked. "Connect me to the team," Su Zhixing said.
Soon, the satellite phone was connected. Su Zhixing communicated with the command center about the situation they had encountered.
"Another unknown armed force?"
After hanging up the phone, Su Zhixing said, "Rest here."
They stopped.
"Come here." Wang Yao called Su Zhixing aside.
"Why don't we continue to chase? This is a good opportunity," Su Zhixing said. "The other group hasn't gone far. If we chase now, it's still not too late. We have some confidence that we can catch up. If we wait for a while, it's hard to say."
"Don't be impatient," Su Zhixing said. "The higher-ups are discussing it now."
"This kind of thing still needs to be discussed?" Wang Yao was stunned.
"It's a procedural problem," Su Zhixing said.
"Alright, let's wait then."
In less than ten minutes, a message came, asking them to continue tracking the traces of the other group of armed forces and find out their identities.
"Alright, now that we know, let's continue the chase."
Soon, they saw a head on the road. It was the head of a white man.
Meng Wu and Shuang Qian carefully observed for a while, and then their expressions changed drastically.
"Captain, this head was forcefully torn off."
"What?"
"Look, there are handprints here." He pointed at the chin of the head. The bones had been crushed, but a handprint could be seen.
"How is this possible?!"
One person had actually used the strength of his arm to tear off another person's head.
"What kind of strength is this? Is he still human? "
"Could it be kung fu?" Su Zhixing looked at Wang Yao, who was also looking at the head.
"I don't know." Wang Yao shook his head.
"No, are you afraid?"
Looking at his calm expression, Su Zhixing asked with some surprise. Along the way, they had seen dead people more than once. However, from the first time, Wang Yao had been very calm and had no expression of fear. This was somewhat abnormal. Most people would be afraid when they saw a dead person for the first time, no matter how they died. This was an impossible reaction. It would be wrong not to be afraid.
"I've seen dead people more than once," Wang Yao said.
"Are all doctors born bold?" Su Zhixing asked.
"Maybe," Su Zhixing said.
At night, the jungle was very quiet.
Su Zhixing continued to lead the team to search for the traces of another group of people in the jungle. This time, their speed was much slower than before because the other party had left very few things behind. It was also dark. Even if they had left traces like footprints, it would have been very difficult to find and detect them. As Wang Yao had said, it would have been easier to pursue them earlier. Ten minutes was not to be underestimated. This was a vast jungle, which could mean that they would completely lose track of this group of people.
The smell in the air was also very faint.
Wang Yao stood under a tree and sniffed hard. The reason why he proposed to pursue them immediately at the beginning was that he could identify the traces of those people through the special smell left in the air. However, after some time, the special smell had dissipated a lot. Although his five senses were far better than ordinary people, they were not as good as animals like wolves and dogs. They were born with a sensitive sense of smell, which was thousands or even tens of thousands of times better than humans.
"Rest here." After rushing for a while at night, they were still careful and focused on preventing attacks that could happen at any time. This was very physically exhausting.
The soldiers stopped and began to replenish their energy. Wang Yao also sat down under a big tree and ate something. In fact, this amount of activity was nothing to him. Su Zhixing came to his side and sat down.
"Can you still catch up?" he asked softly.
"Not good enough." Wang Yao shook his head gently.
"Actually, there is another way to try," he said after thinking for a moment.
"What way?"
"I'll go and see by myself." Wang Yao said. He could run freely in the jungle alone. His speed would be dozens of times faster than when he was with these soldiers. He might be able to find the traces of that group of people.
"No, that's too dangerous!" Su Zhixing refused without any consideration.
"Actually, this jungle is nothing to me," Wang Yao said.
"What about those people?" Su Zhixing asked. "In short, I don't agree with this plan."
"Forget it." Wang Yao did not continue to insist. He knew Su Zhixing was worried about his safety if he went alone.
"In this case, I'm afraid this matter will drag on."
The night was vast, and the jungle was vast. Looking for someone was like looking for a needle in the sea.
At this time, somewhere in the jungle.
10 men in the same clothes gathered at the top of a mountain. They looked down and saw trees.
"Brother."
"Have those people been dealt with?"
"Yes, they have all been dealt with," Su Zhixing said. "In addition to them, there is another group of people."
"Who?"
Su Zhixing asked. "People from the army," Su Zhixing said.
"Have they found us?"
Su Zhixing asked. "No, they have followed the group of outsiders," Su Zhixing said.
"That's good," Su Zhixing said. "Don't have a conflict with them. It's not easy for them to guard the land and protect their home."
"I see," Su Zhixing said.
"Let's take some of the things inside and get out of here," Su Zhixing said.
"OK, I'll stay here," Su Zhixing said. "Brother, you should go back."
"Well, let me know if there is anything," Su Zhixing said.
"I see," Su Zhixing said.
Time passed slowly. Unknowingly, the sun appeared on the horizon.
"Phew, the night is finally over!" Su Zhixing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In such a jungle, it was dangerous to travel during the day, let alone at night. So far, their team had not lost a single person. Although there had been no fighting, they had encountered many traps. The foreign invading armed force had basically been eliminated. Their original purpose had been achieved. Nine people had come, and all of them had been brought back intact. This was the best result.
Yesterday afternoon and a few mornings, they had traveled for dozens of kilometers in the jungle for more than 10 hours. They had only rested for less than three hours. They were very tired.
"Brother, they need to rest," Wang Yao said softly as he came to Su Zhixing's side. He was a pharmacist. Diagnosis by looking, smelling, and asking was the most basic and profound thing. Judging from their complexion and hearing their voices, these soldiers were already very tired. In this state, if they really encountered an enemy, it would not be a good thing. They might not be able to display their usual fighting strength.
"Rest here for an hour!" Su Zhixing looked at his comrades beside him. After thinking for a moment, he gave the order to rest.
"How long have we been walking?"
Su Zhixing asked. "Three kilometers," a soldier said. "We haven't found any traces along the way."
