The rescue plan was simple.
It was nothing more than scouting first, confirming the hostage, and then finding a breakthrough point.
In this regard, Susan's team had the appropriate talent.
Responsible for infiltration and reconnaissance were a pair of tall, thin Asian male and female, who covered half their faces from head to toe, somewhat like ninjas.
Responsible for the breakthrough were she and two others.
One was a Bald Head Man, and the other was a brown-haired young man.
According to Susan's introduction, the former was once a member of a commando unit, and the latter was a sharpshooter.
Both of them looked extraordinary.
The sharpshooter named Micah seemed a bit frivolous.
While Susan and Li Andy were detailing the operation, he saw Sophia standing idly by, and couldn't help but approach her:
"Hey, beautiful, what's your name? I used to love using revolvers too, maybe I can teach you some experience."
Sophia frowned, and directly in front of everyone, pressed close to Li Andy, burying her twin peaks into his arm to express her attitude.
The sharpshooter Micah awkwardly scratched his head, sheepishly retreated back to the team, looking at Li Andy with immense envy.
Susan glanced over there, then her gaze returned, and she asked:
"The plan is roughly like this, so do you plan to wait for us outside, or follow us in for the breakthrough?"
"Together, we can look out for each other."
Li Andy answered casually, but it caused dissatisfaction in someone.
The Bald Head Man stood out bluntly:
"Captain Susan, we don't have many people this time, it's hard to take care of others! If they accidentally get shot, are you going to...."
"They don't need you to take care of them!"
Susan frowned and interrupted sharply.
The Bald Head Man also frowned, remained silent for a few seconds, and retreated back to the team, clearly not convinced.
"If there are no other questions, let's go!"
Susan ordered an equipment check, then led the team out.
Li Andy and Sophia followed behind the team, indifferently observing them, pondering inwardly.
Susan's small team seemed to have just started to gel...
Even though the mission likely involved the extraordinary, such a team was assigned.
It was unknown whether it was a decision error or if the intelligence source had problems.
Anyway, no matter what, they were definitely going to suffer.
"Sophia."
"Hmm?"
"Is it convenient to walk while hugging like that?"
".......Hmph!"
Sophia did not let go; instead, she rebelliously held him even tighter.
.......
Upon arriving at the destination, everyone saw a camp from afar.
The two responsible for reconnaissance infiltrated first, and not long after, returned safely.
"A total of fifteen people were found, half were sleeping, half seemed to have taken drugs, no patrols were arranged, quite amateurish, and the hostage was in the tent in the center."
After hearing the report, Susan couldn't help but frown:
"No patrols arranged? Did you find any traps?"
"No." The two scouts replied.
"Hehe..."
The sharpshooter Micah smiled, "Maybe the higher-ups arranged this mission for us to practice. After all, since our team formed, we haven't had a single actual mission."
"Let's attack early to prevent any unforeseen changes." The Bald Head Man looked at Susan, waiting for her command.
Susan glanced at Li Andy, and seeing that he had no objection, she stood up and led the team, breaking in from the side.
With the sound of a gunshot, the camp immediately erupted.
All the robbers swarmed over, each equipped with firearms, but their marksmanship was terrible.
The sharpshooter Micah lived up to his name; his shots were fast and accurate, almost never missing. The bandits who faced him could barely stand for three seconds.
And the Bald Head Man was no less impressive, moving among various obstacles, charging steadily and quickly, preemptively occupying various advantageous points, providing suppressive fire to clear paths, and leading his teammates forward.
From an ordinary person's perspective, they indeed deserved the title of an elite squad.
As for Li Andy, he comfortably 'slacked off' and got points under the leadership of the various "big brothers."
"These guys are too weak, did they take too many drugs yesterday?"
After the bandits were dealt with, Micah mumbled while reloading.
The mission was so simple that even he began to doubt if it was a trap.
But despite the doubts, the mission could not be stopped midway due to hesitation.
Susan and a few others approached the central tent, and as they passed a few corpses, she felt a chill down her spine.
She instinctively lowered her head, only to see the corpses' hollow eyes suddenly roll and stare at her, unfocused!
At the same time, the Bald Head Man, who was responsible for the flank, let out a scream.
"Ah!!"
Three corpses simultaneously sprang up, biting his arms and legs.
"Bang—!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Susan and the others fired their guns simultaneously.
But at this moment, their superb marksmanship seemed particularly powerless.
Even if the corpses' heads were blown apart, they could still sprint and crawl!
In just a few seconds, the flesh on the Bald Head Man's arm was torn away, revealing the bone.
"Sophia."
As soon as Li Andy spoke, the blonde girl beside him burst out.
The wooden stick in her hand drew a beautiful fan-shaped arc, hitting and sending the three living corpses that were biting the Bald Head Man flying.
Seeing this, Micah, who had previously tried to flirt, felt a chill in his crotch.
At the same time, Li Andy's slight frown caused all the living corpses' clothes and trousers to suddenly constrict and twist, pressing them firmly to the ground.
For some with weaker frames, the sound of bones being twisted and broken could even be heard.
"Sophia, he ran north." Li Andy spoke again.
"I know!"
Sophia sniffed, turning into an afterimage and rushing out of the camp.
Susan and her team were stunned for several seconds before they suddenly realized there was still a mission and wounded, and quickly began to provide aid.
Not long after, a few people emerged from the tent, carrying the unconscious Eric.
"Do you want to go support her together?" Susan asked.
Li Andy shook his head:
"I'll go alone, you all take the people back first."
Susan was silent for a few seconds, then finally nodded.
Her experiences in Black Alley had taught her to act within her capabilities.
As Li Andy passed the Bald Head Man, who was being supported by his teammates, the latter suddenly said:
"Sorry..."
Li Andy couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
He suddenly felt that the people here were too normal, which made him a little unaccustomed.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't there be malicious words and instigation of reader emotions?
Oh, it's all because of formulaic novels; reading too many has led to stereotypes.
In reality, how many idiots are there?
Moreover, this was an elite squad.
Indeed, excessive 【memory】 can affect 【cognition】.
No matter how absurd the information, as long as it undergoes continuous repetitive brainwashing, it can be deeply imprinted in the mind.
"It's fine."
Li Andy replied casually and left the camp in the opposite direction.
On the other side, in the jungle.
Sophia displayed her werewolf characteristics, holding a wooden stick, and caught up with the person controlling the corpses.
She stared at that withered, mummified face, feeling an instinctive revulsion.
"Werewolf?"
The mummified corpse smiled sinisterly,
"As expected of New Continent; what is considered an evil demon under the Empire can actually hold an official position here."
Sophia frowned, pondered for a few seconds, wanting to learn from Andy and Youxi to get information from the other side,
But she found that she was really not good with words, so she swung her stick and charged forward.
