Chapter 387: The Chief of Staff's Smile, The Comrades' Disbelief

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Haha!”

The laughter of the Chief of Staff echoed from the tent, resonating far across this mountaintop.

He was genuinely delighted!

Wang Ye had won.

That grenade had unexpectedly exploded just two meters behind this special forces soldier, forcing him to roll quickly.

And then, in the next moment, Wang Ye charged forward and filled the air with bullets, causing him to smoke.

Yes, he had actually fired his gun just now.

But it was futile.

With a distance of more than twenty meters, and the fact that he had rolled, he had no conditions to aim or even lock onto Wang Ye in the first place.

He could only rely on his instincts to shoot when he heard the sound.

“Pah! Pah!” The pistol shots seemed feeble amidst the dense “pupupu” of the Type 05 submachine gun.

Crouching on the ground, rolling, Wang Ye took a kneeling position and aimed his gun.

“Pupupu-”

Another round of gunfire, and Wang Ye didn't even realize that he was smoking.

When he had just started shooting, it was in a rolling manner.

But at this moment, Wang Ye's gunshots stopped after only a few rounds.

Wang Ye laughed.

Because he saw the guy lying flat on the ground opposite him, with smoke rising from his head.

In that last round, he had successfully taken him down.

He felt a bit uneasy and touched the top of his own head.

The next moment, Wang Ye's smile grew even wider.

He had won.

One versus three, he had taken down all three of them.

“Close-quarters combat, pistols are out!”

On the administrative side, they couldn't move after their casualties, they could only wait for the plane to come and pick them up.

But they weren't foolish enough to just die like that, they were still being smoked like sausages in the smoke grenades.

Now, both of them sat next to Jiang Nan with constipated expressions.

Listening to the pistol shots coming from the distant jungle, both the administrative officer and the mess sergeant were getting a bit nervous.

Reason told them that Wang Ye was surely done for.

But deep inside, they kept hoping, praying that Wang Ye would return and not some special forces soldier with a grin, feeling their corpses.

At the moment, they couldn't see what was happening over there, and they couldn't hear the gunfire from Wang Ye's Type 05.

They had no idea that Wang Ye, at this very moment, was actually busy searching corpses.

“Alright, don't lie there like I forced you. Come on, if you don't want me to hang you up as a corpse, cooperate and hand over everything!” Wang Ye wasn't being polite, and he didn't have time for small talk.

With so many gunshots just now, who knew if other special forces soldiers nearby had heard the noise and were rushing over.

To prevent any surprises, he needed to search the bodies as quickly as possible, so he used their thermal imaging devices.

In fact, at this moment, Wang Ye had been staring at his head.

He was a bit puzzled because Wang Ye felt that this night vision device was no different from his own.

“What's your name!”

Looking at Wang Ye, the special forces soldier lying on the ground didn't make any moves. Instead, he asked with a frustrated expression.

But Wang Ye didn't respond to him, “Please follow the exercise rules and hand over all your equipment now. Oh, and start by taking off this thing!”

Wang Ye pointed to the night vision device on his head.

The special forces soldier didn't say a word.

He simply started to silently remove it.

Before he could hand it over, Wang Ye reached out and took it from him.

He hadn't experienced thermal imaging before.

But the next moment, something baffling happened to Wang Ye.

Why did it look the same as his own night vision device when he looked at it in front of his eyes, just like the one on his right eye?

Carefully examining it in his hand and finding no other buttons, it appeared to be exactly the same as his own night vision device.

He looked it over from every angle.

Finally, Wang Ye was certain.

This was just a low-light night vision device.

Looking up at him, Wang Ye directly asked, “What about thermal imaging?”

The special forces soldier, who was removing his equipment, glanced at Wang Ye the next moment.

He was surprised that Wang Ye knew about this device.

In fact, at that moment, several dozen meters away, Black Cat's heart had stopped when he realized that the smoke had cleared.

After Black Cat had smoked earlier, he had muttered through his earpiece, “I'm done!”

So Black Cat also knew the situation, and he simply stuffed the thermal imaging device under some nearby fallen leaves, trying to conceal it. He had even avoided the cameras on his body when he did this.

But now Wang Ye actually knew about thermal imaging.

How did he find out?

Black Cat was very nervous.

“Is keeping quiet going to help? Brother, be honest, I know you guys definitely have this thing. Please follow the exercise rules!” Wang Ye said.

Bat spoke in a muffled voice, “I'm complying. You can take whatever you want from me. As for what you said about thermal imaging, you can find it yourself!”

After Bat finished speaking, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Wang Ye looked at him skeptically.

He glanced around.

There really wasn't any thermal imaging device. This guy only had a single pistol, and the crucial thing was that he was wearing just a night vision device on his head.

Could it be that not everyone in their group had one?

Wang Ye thought about this question.

The next moment, Wang Ye took the hand grenade from him and placed it on himself before walking away.

Without thermal imaging, Wang Ye wasn't interested in the other items.

As for stripping him of his clothes, Wang Ye had no interest in that. He didn't want to impersonate a special forces soldier.

Soon, Wang Ye arrived at Black Cat's side.

As Wang Ye approached, Black Cat, who was sitting on the ground, only glanced up and then lowered his head again.

Their communication system hadn't been cut off yet, so Wang Ye had heard his conversation with Bat just now.

Wang Ye walked closer.

He was just like the guy earlier, or rather, just like himself. Their faces were smeared with paint, and they both wore the same night vision device on their heads.

Without saying a word, Wang Ye looked around.

The next moment, Wang Ye smiled.

Wang Ye noticed that the fallen leaves on the special forces soldier's left side had clearly been disturbed, and it was still bulging there.

Special forces soldiers typically had excellent camouflage skills.

But now, he had to follow the exercise rules and hide things openly.

The Training Unit was not blind.

Moreover, the Training Unit definitely had personnel from A Division keeping an eye on things.

If the other side didn't know, they could try to bluff their way through, and he could later say that Wang Ye himself hadn't found it, so it wasn't his fault.

But now…

Wang Ye came directly to his side and squatted down.

He looked at Black Cat with a smile and then reached out to fiddle with the bulging fallen leaves.

Immediately, something very exquisite, shaped like a large integrated telescope, appeared.

Wang Ye picked it up.

The next moment, he placed it directly in front of his eyes.

He looked at Black Cat through it.

It was so close that the red light was a bit dazzling.

At this moment, under the telescope, the smile on Wang Ye's face seemed unusually glaring to Black Cat.

Of course, it wasn't just glaring to him.

The camera on his body happened to be facing Wang Ye at this moment.

At the Training Unit, both the Chief of Staff and Captain Xue noticed Wang Ye's smile.

In this moment, the Chief of Staff discreetly glanced at Captain Xue beside him.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't laugh out loud, but not laughing out loud didn't mean he didn't have a smile. On the contrary, his mouth was almost crooked with laughter at this moment.

In stark contrast, Captain Xue's face was ashen, as if it had been covered in soot.

“Idiot, fool, moron!” Captain Xue cursed inwardly.

These three guys, what were they up to?

Three special forces soldiers had been wiped out by a reconnaissance unit with thermal imaging.

And now, the thermal imaging device had actually ended up in the hands of the reconnaissance unit.

Uncomfortable, Captain Xue felt like his lungs were swelling.

Not only did he feel his lungs swelling, but he also felt like something was stuck in his throat, extremely uncomfortable.

He turned his head to look at the Chief of Staff, who was beaming with joy beside him, wanting to speak, but he couldn't find the words.

“Good stuff, thanks, Captain!” Wang Ye's voice of thanks at this moment was directly transmitted through the loudspeakers at the Training Unit.

“Hoo-” Captain Xue took a deep breath and finally looked at the Chief of Staff, saying, “Old Wei, the equipment is a research prototype provided from higher-ups, it's not mature yet, and there aren't many…”

“I know, didn't you just say that earlier? Don't worry, I won't bother you, this penny-pincher, again!”

Captain Xue looked at the Chief of Staff, who was grinning from ear to ear, speechless.

He wasn't just an innocent newbie.

Knowing the Chief of Staff's nature well, he was very aware of the other meaning behind those words.

He called him a penny-pincher, but he didn't ask him for it.

But he could take it from this reconnaissance soldier.

After all, the equipment was already in the hands of this reconnaissance soldier, it was his spoils of war.

At this moment, Captain Xue still didn't know who this reconnaissance soldier really was.

After all, it was late at night, and a soldier with a painted face wearing a night vision device covering half of it, and the only clear view of his face earlier was from Black Cat's perspective.

Before this, he hadn't paid any attention to this soldier.

In this situation, how could he know who this lieutenant was?

After all, he wasn't part of A Division.

He remained silent.

Internally, he cursed Black Cat and the others again, but on the surface, Captain Xue chose to hold his tongue for now.

There was still plenty of time left; it had been less than four hours since the start of the five-day exercise. If someone else managed to eliminate Wang Ye next, he wouldn't need to say anything to the Chief of Staff.

And if not, they could discuss it later.

However, he knew that if it really came to that, it would be difficult to retrieve what was lost.

Once the meat had entered the dog's mouth, trying to make it spit it out would be exceptionally challenging.

The Chief of Staff at this moment had no idea that his old comrade beside him had mentally compared himself to a dog.

Of course, if being a dog could get him this thermal imaging device, the Training Unit might immediately hear a chorus of “Woof, woof, woof” from him.

“Why is it so quiet? Who won?”

On the side of Jiang Nan, the administrative officer nervously rubbed his hands as he looked in the direction where the pistol shots had come from earlier.

Jiang Nan remained silent, still feeling uncomfortable.

The mess sergeant was also silent, but he had been watching the direction from which the gunshots had come.

“They're coming!”

Suddenly, the mess sergeant spoke quietly.

They had been killed, but their night vision devices hadn't been taken, so their night vision capabilities were intact.

At this moment, the mess sergeant saw someone emerging from the jungle dozens of meters away.

“Oh my, it looks like it's Wang Ye?” the administrative officer exclaimed.

His voice immediately drew the attention of Jiang Nan, who had been motionless since his death. He raised his head to look in the same direction.

“No way!”

The mess sergeant also made a somewhat incredulous sound.

“Wang Ye! What's going on?” The next moment, the administrative officer couldn't help but speak.

He couldn't hold back, so he didn't care that he had already been declared dead. Anyway, it seemed that the situation had already been decided, so saying something wouldn't hurt.

“OK, 1 took care of them. Company Commander, both platoon leaders, I've avenged you!” From the jungle, Wang Ye ran over with a smile.

As he ran, Wang Ye occasionally stopped and looked around with what he had in his hand.

However, it was only a few dozen meters away, so Wang Ye arrived quickly.

He didn't even touch the owl's corpse. Instead, he just stopped beside it, looked at its head and its surroundings, and then ran straight past it..
