Chapter 300: Chapter 19: Chief... Our car tires have been removed

The leader of this team was a tall white officer, Lieutenant Ross.

At the moment, he was sitting in an off-road vehicle, watching the savages and Transcendents being shot by his subordinates.

Blood splattered as one body after another fell; this was an ambush, with the flashing gunfire forming a deadly line of fire that even the Transcendents couldn’t approach, dying helplessly one by one on their way to attack.

Lieutenant Ross sighed in his heart.

The purpose of entering the forest this time was to find the wreckage of the plane and to find food or parts that could be used from it.

They were supposed to be soldiers in an island landing operation during the Pacific War, but they lost contact with the outside world after landing on the island.

Communications failed, and the supporting fleet behind them was lost.

Even the ships that had sent them to the island disappeared into the mist surrounding the island.

It was as if some indescribable force was trapping them on the island.

And the forest was even more dangerous.

Many soldiers sent to patrol the jungle never returned.

Lieutenant Ross had seen a soldier surrounded, killed, and devoured by savages.

After paying a heavy price, they discovered the dangers of the jungle at night and found their patterns.

They cautiously spent a few more days, discovering that there were two other armed forces on the island.

Fortunately, they were all human. The three forces didn’t immediately start fighting when they first met.

At least they kept their distance from each other warily.

Due to the language and writing barriers, they didn’t have much negotiation.

They remained on high alert, staying peacefully in their respective strongholds, and waiting for rescue.

It wasn’t until yesterday when a plane crashed on the island that the three forces began to take action.

Undercurrents were surging!

The island was not exactly scarce in resources; they could perhaps survive for a long time by hunting peacefully and waiting for rescue from each of their forces.

But the emergence of the three factions was too strange, with different languages, scripts, and even time periods. This point was clear to all of them.

There were also quite a few minor conflicts that erupted due to these issues, such as fighting over prey in the jungle or accidentally stepping on each other’s traps.

As a result, the relationships between the three factions worsened and the conflicts gradually escalated.

On Lieutenant Ross’s side, there was a platoon of soldiers, all armed with firearms.

They should be the strongest among the three forces.

These conflicts were generally advantageous to the M Army.

However, that was all; the other two forces also were not easy to provoke, and all sides had suffered losses.

Everyone knew that battles would break out soon, fighting for the right to survive on this island!

This time, the plane crash became the fuse, and a mysterious message engraved on a metal meal tray ignited this wick.

It was written in English: "Eliminate the opposing forces and you can leave the island."

If it were just those few words, the army wouldn’t care. But there were also irregular line marks engraved behind them, which, when translated, turned out to be an action code. This made the army take it seriously.

After hesitating for a moment, the commander, a captain, issued an order.

He ordered Lieutenant Ross to lead a convoy to search for the plane wreckage in the jungle, seize supplies, and shoot any enemies on sight.

This was actually a probe; no matter what purpose the person who sent this message had, the battle would start now.

If they could use their equipment advantage to sneakily eliminate the other two forces searching the jungle, it would effectively reduce the danger and create time for themselves to prepare.

This was actually Volga’s strategy; he and Snow Shadow were both official members of the M Country [Black Palace], so they naturally had access to the action code.

Because in past [Plot Tasks], there were similar precedents, so [Black Palace] specifically let members master this code to help their members get aid from their World War II forces in the [Plot Tasks].

Volga’s idea was also clear: to avoid contact with the plot forces as much as possible before unlocking his abilities enough to protect himself. This was the same as He Feng’s analysis.

However, they were different from Li Changhe’s group of four in that they had discovered the World War II soldiers from the beginning and saw them guarding the direction of the jungle.

They found some relatively primitive traps in the jungle and analyzed the general situation.

There are multiple plot forces here, and in this [Task], both [Players] will inevitably make use of the plot forces.

It’s simple then, use a secret code to let the World War II soldiers weaken other forces. Whether the commander believes it or not, they will make exploratory moves.

That’s equivalent to weakening the strength of Li Changhe’s four people.

He effectively analyzed the strength of the forces on the island, and the World War II soldiers had firearms.

It’s bound to be a lot stronger than those forces still using primitive traps.

There’s a high probability that they are the strongest among the plot forces.

There’s no need to contact other forces then, just focus on weakening them.

Moreover, none of the four of them had shown up. If they really found even stronger plot forces, they could still remedy it. Don’t expect [Players] to have any integrity. The struggle for the overall situation doesn’t allow any integrity.

This is also the reason why He Feng intends to directly annihilate or severely damage these soldiers here.

"Multiple plot forces, competing with each other. Eliminate or weaken the forces with a low chance of recruitment to weaken the enemy [Player] step by step?" Yun Ting, who was in Li Changhe’s mind, understood and said with a disdainful tone: "You guys who play tactics have really dirty hearts!"

"There’s dirtier." Li Changhe, hiding about twenty meters away from the convoy, took a deep breath. He held a wooden spear in one hand and several steel bars in the other: "The rest is a skilled job!"

He analyzed the distance between him and the target, as well as the paths he could move and the hiding spots he could use if discovered.

Li Changhe contacted He Feng through [Friends]: "Take action!"

On the other side, Lieutenant Ross watched the tribesmen start to flee, with some Transcendents dead and others injured.

He said, "It’s about time. Let’s finish this quickly while that thing hasn’t arrived yet. Take everything useful with you..."

Before his words fell, Lieutenant Ross saw a soldier not far away reloading his magazine.

Blood burst from the soldier’s neck, and a wooden spear pierced through it directly.

"Damn it! There’s an enemy on the right, watch out for evasion!" Lieutenant Ross was startled but heard the sound of the ground sliding behind him.

He turned back to see the machine gunner on the roof of the vehicle holding his neck, falling down weakly.

A wooden spear had pierced his trachea as well.

Years of combat experience kept Lieutenant Ross from panicking. Instead, he instantly rolled under the vehicle for cover. The soldiers also used the vehicles as shields and shot back.

At the same time, the machine gunners on the other vehicles began firing.

The raging fireline was enough to tear through trees. In an instant, the surrounding trees were shot to pieces.

But they saw no trace of the attackers.

There was a moment of confusion among the soldiers, but they calmly responded to the sudden situation. The roar of their guns echoed throughout, keeping any danger at bay.

Lieutenant Ross quickly analyzed that the enemies were few in number but hidden. Unable to pinpoint their location, the battle was extremely unfavorable.

"Are they those guys’ accomplices?" Lieutenant Ross glanced at the escaping Transcendents, feeling uneasy.

Moreover, with the machine guns already firing, that monster would probably be alarmed. They had to leave quickly.

"Take the injured and supplies, retreat!"

Strangely, the hidden wooden spears did not reappear.

No one launched another attack until the soldiers entered the off-road vehicles one by one, covering each other.

As the vehicle started, they watched the battlefield receding further and further in the distance, with nothing strange happening.

"Was their plan just to save those people? Or could they be from another faction?" Lieutenant Ross wondered.

In the midst of their travel, the vehicle they were in inexplicably tilted and hit a tree.

Lieutenant Ross felt dazed from the impact.

Before he could figure out what had happened, he saw a very familiar tire rolling further and further away.

"Sir... our tire has been removed by someone!"

Lieutenant Ross???
