Chapter 14 Death Trap! Undercover Agent Dies, Entire Team Surrounded!
The night was as dark as ink, so thick it was impossible to see through.
On the rugged mountain road in the southwest border, more than a dozen dark figures were moving quickly.
They are the "Sharp Sword" commando team, the sharpest knife of the Southwest Anti-Drug Brigade.
However, at this moment, the tip of the knife was held by a young man they had never seen before.
Qi Tongwei walked at the front, wearing only a thin training uniform, yet he seemed oblivious to the chill of the mountain night.
His steps were small but extremely fast, each step landing precisely on the most effortless and stable spot.
Behind him followed a group of fully armed special forces elites.
These men are all tough guys who have survived countless battles.
But at this moment, they were all panting heavily, struggling to keep up with Qi Tongwei's pace.
"Huff... huff..."
The sound of a team member's breathing was particularly heavy in the silent mountain forest.
Walking in the middle of the group, the vice-captain, nicknamed "Lynx," with his arrogant buzz cut, looked rather grim.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke into the communicator in a low voice.
"I said...the new guy."
His voice carried an undisguised provocation.
"Do you know this way?"
"Don't lead the brothers astray; otherwise, none of them will be able to get back."
Many people in the group subconsciously slowed down and looked at Qi Tongwei's back with suspicion in their eyes.
They acknowledged that the young man's analysis in the command center was impressive.
But theoretical discussions and real-world combat are two different things.
Qi Tongwei did not pause in his steps.
He didn't even turn around.
A cold voice came from the communicator, containing only one word.
"Keep up."
The lynx's face turned a deep liver color.
As the deputy captain of the operation, he was a well-known figure in the brigade. When had he ever been humiliated like this by a greenhorn?
Just as he was about to lash out, a veteran teammate next to him grabbed him and shook his head.
The veteran player pointed to the path beneath his feet.
The lynx then noticed that although the path they had taken was rugged, the vegetation and rocks along the way were exceptionally intact.
This means that almost no one has ever traveled this road; it is the most hidden route and the least likely to be used for ambushes!
Qi Tongwei, on the other hand, seems to have a living map in his mind, always able to find such an excellent path in the dark.
The lynx's anger was largely extinguished by a chill.
This kid's got some skills.
The procession continued forward.
Two hours later, Qi Tongwei's figure stopped in front of a cliff.
He gestured for people to stop.
Everyone immediately took cover on the spot, their movements perfectly synchronized.
We've arrived.
Qi Tongwei's voice rang out on the communication channel.
Everyone looked up.
Under the moonlight, ahead lay a vast, bottomless canyon with sheer cliffs on both sides, making the terrain extremely treacherous.
A faint sound of water drifted from the canyon, sounding like the weeping of ghosts in the night wind.
Ghost Sorrow Valley.
Just hearing the name sends chills down your spine.
Qi Tongwei didn't look at the canyon, but squatted down and his gaze fell on a patch of trampled bushes.
His fingers gently brushed against a broken branch.
[Conan-level perfect crime scene reconstruction] Ability activated.
Countless details were magnified and rearranged in his eyes.
"The footprints were mixed, indicating at least thirty people."
"Judging from the trampling marks, they were carrying a very heavy load, probably heavy equipment."
His gaze then turned to a crevice in a rock not far away.
There was a patch of dark red soil there, standing out starkly against the surrounding colors.
"This is red soil unique to Kachin State. Only people who wear certain military boots will have so much of it left in the gaps of their shoes."
He stood up, his gaze sharp as lightning, shooting towards a massive mountain shadow on the opposite bank of the canyon.
"The main force of scorpions is in that cave complex ahead."
His judgment was clear, decisive, and without any hesitation.
The team members behind him all looked surprised.
They only saw a chaotic scene, but this young man deduced so much information from a few inconspicuous traces.
The lynx opened its mouth, but ultimately swallowed its words of doubt.
He discovered that his prized wilderness tracking skills were like child's play compared to this young man.
"Groups one and two, flank from the left; groups three and four, follow me and infiltrate from the front."
Qi Tongwei quickly issued the order.
"Remember, no one is allowed to fire without my order."
"yes!"
This time, everyone's answers were full of power.
Like a dozen or so raccoons in the night, the assault team stealthily crept along the cliff face toward the massive cave complex.
The entrance to the cave resembles the mouth of a giant beast ready to devour its prey.
Inside the cave, it was cold and damp, with water droplets falling from the stalactites, making a "drip, drip" sound.
That was the only sound.
The atmosphere was extremely tense, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of every team member.
They gripped their guns tightly, fingers on the triggers, their nerves stretched to the limit.
Qi Tongwei walked at the front, his "Eagle Eye Vision" was clearer than night vision goggles in the dark.
The structure inside the cave and the possible ambush points were all clear in his mind.
They ventured deeper into the territory without encountering any resistance.
It's too peaceful.
It was so calm it was unsettling.
When the team quietly infiltrated a huge open space in the very center of the cave system.
A sudden change has occurred!
"Snapped!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Dozens of high-powered searchlights overhead suddenly lit up!
The blinding white light illuminated the entire enormous cavern as if it were daytime!
All the assault team members were blinded by the sudden burst of bright light.
They've been exposed!
Qi Tongwei's heart sank suddenly.
He understood immediately.
This is not an oversight.
The information left behind by the undercover agent was itself a bait!
This is a series of traps, an encirclement tailor-made for them!
"Hahahaha!"
Above the cave, an extremely arrogant laugh echoed endlessly through the empty cavern.
After their eyes adjusted to the light, everyone looked up.
On a platform more than 20 meters above their heads, the figure of the "scorpion" appeared.
He was dressed in jungle camouflage, with a hideous scar on his face, and was looking down at them.
His gaze was like that of someone looking at a group of rats in a cage.
Beside him stood a menacing, dark machine gun!
The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the unshielded assault team below.
What made all the team members' eyes widen in fury was...
At the entrance to the cave behind the scorpion, two blood-covered figures were suspended by ropes, swaying gently in the night breeze.
It was those two missing undercover agents!
They were covered in wounds and barely breathing, clearly having suffered inhuman torture.
"Welcome to my party, officers!"
The scorpion grinned maliciously, spreading its arms wide, relishing the expressions of despair and rage on its prey's faces.
The lynx's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
He quickly scanned his surroundings, his heart sinking to the bottom.
They were in an open area in the center of the cave, with only a few low rocks around them for cover.
The scorpion's location is the highest point in the entire cave, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
They became sitting ducks!
"Damn it! We've fallen for their trap!"
The lynx gritted its teeth, its voice trembling slightly.
Scorpion seemed quite pleased with their reaction, and he lazily patted the heavy machine gun beside him.
"I've prepared a big one to welcome you all."
His smile was cruel and bloodthirsty.
He gave the commandos no more time to react.
"Da da da da da da!"
The heavy machine gun roared without warning!
Flames spewed from the muzzle of the gun!
Bullets, like the scythe of death, came flying down with a shriek!
"Bang bang bang!"
The bullets slammed into the rocks where the team members were hiding, sending up a series of dazzling sparks!
Gravel flew everywhere, making a terrifying whooshing sound.
"Take cover! Take cover now!"
The lynx roared at the top of its lungs.
But where could they hide in this open space?
Everyone was pinned down by the ferocious firepower, unable to even lift their heads.
"what!"
A scream.
One of the team members suffered a deep gash on his arm, which was cut open to the bone by a piece of flying debris.
Blood instantly stained his training uniform.
Fear, like a plague, spread rapidly through the ranks.
They are elite, and they are not afraid of death.
But they were terrified of being powerless to fight back, and could only wait to be slaughtered like targets!
For the first time, fear was revealed in the lynx's eyes.
He realized they had fallen into a grave the scorpion had made specifically for them.
Today, everyone must die here.
Just when everyone was in despair, with only the roar of heavy machine guns and the whistling of bullets in their ears.
A voice, chillingly cold, rang out clearly across everyone's communication channels.
"Everyone, listen to my command!"
"A feint attack to draw all his firepower!"
