And by doing it this way, a sense of intellectual superiority emerged naturally.

“Haha, alright, let’s do it this way!”

In the exercise department, the chief of staff laughed genuinely at this moment.

Although, up to this point, the casualty ratio was still 2 to 16, but he felt comfortable.

In fact, at this moment, the fire within him burned even more intensely.

If he could contact Wang Ye right now, he would definitely say directly.

“Keep it up, it’s the last one, take him down, grab that thermal imager, and when you come back, I’ll treat you to a drink!”

Of course, even if he couldn’t talk to Wang Ye right now, his eyes were sharp.

The intensity in them was noticed at first glance by Captain Xue, who was standing nearby.

Deep down, he cursed Black Cat for being a fool, actually falling for a stone and getting killed.

But now, he didn’t feel like cursing anymore. He turned back to continue staring at the screen, nervously watching the bats lying in wait with handguns.

“Take him out!”

In his heart, Captain Xue was cheering him on.

It had been a long time since he had been this nervous.

Before the engagement began, his initial goal was to secure a victory without any losses.

In his mind, even if there were some casualties, at most, it would be a few unlucky individuals stepping on landmines or the like.

But he absolutely didn’t expect that an entire squad would be wiped out.

After all, according to the rules, reconnaissance teams couldn’t exceed five soldiers in a squad.

And although their special forces had stricter requirements, with a maximum of three members per team, he couldn’t fathom a reason for losing with three against five, especially with thermal imaging equipment on their side.

But now…

The situation was developing in a way he had never anticipated.

A wildcard in the deck.

Assigned to the surveillance post, he acted like an old bird nesting in the treetops, lurking in the canopy.

After eliminating one enemy, he actually went on to kill another, and the crucial part was that the one he killed was carrying the thermal imager.

If that fell into the hands of the reconnaissance team, and if they couldn’t recover it in the next five days…

Thinking about the guy next to him, Captain Xue clenched his fist.

“You fool, don’t mess this up!”

At this moment, curses came from beside him.

It was the chief of staff.

Because he saw Wang Ye reloading a fresh magazine, he started moving quickly once again.

The sixth member, armed with a pistol after losing his sniper rifle, displayed two completely different postures.

He was cursing at people, as running like this could easily expose him.

However, Wang Ye had a different mindset.

Wang Ye’s current thought was that this remaining guy might also have a thermal imager.

He couldn’t afford to delay. If he let him escape, he would find himself in a definite disadvantage later on.

So, while he still had a rough idea of the guy’s location, he decided to make another move.

Winning meant not only getting revenge but also obtaining the thermal imager for himself.

Losing wouldn’t be a big deal either.

In any case, the worst that could happen was getting smoked out, and if he didn’t take this chance now, that would likely be the outcome later.

“Whoosh, whoosh-”

The rustling of branches and leaves was quite loud as Wang Ye moved swiftly.

The bats saw it.

Through the night vision goggles, Wang Ye’s darting figure was clear to them.

However, he remained prone on the ground without moving or firing his weapon.

He knew that the reconnaissance team on the other side had a general idea of his position.

But they certainly didn’t know his exact location.

At the moment, he was like a venomous snake, silently lurking in the jungle, waiting for Wang Ye to expose a vulnerability to deliver a deadly strike.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye had dashed to another slope on the opposite side and temporarily halted.

“Hoo- hoo~”

He took deep breaths, but only a few.

After a few breaths, Wang Ye began to listen attentively, his ears perked up.

He kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings.

He was certain that the remaining guy hadn’t fled and should be lurking not far from his current position, slightly uphill.

After all, during the previous movement, he had been keeping an eye on this direction.

If the guy had run, there’s no way he would remain completely concealed.

Even though the night vision goggles didn’t have thermal imaging capabilities, they provided a clear view.

It’s just that the other side was too patient, not running or firing, just waiting, and this made Wang Ye uncomfortable.

Rashly getting closer, if he stepped into a trap, his quick reflexes wouldn’t help.

“What should I do?”

His brain was running at high speed.

At this moment, deep down, Wang Ye was actually starting to regret.

He regretted not carrying a few more hand grenades.

If he still had hand grenades, he would have thrown one towards the position he felt someone was in.

However, in an instant, Wang Ye’s eyes focused in one direction.

Quickly, Wang Ye picked up a nearby dried branch and tossed it in another direction, then silently began to slide down the slope.

In this moment, Wang Ye was very cautious.

While listening attentively, his gaze scanned the slope back and forth.

Thermal imaging wasn’t omnipotent, and from Wang Ye’s current position, even thermal imaging wouldn’t be of much use.

After all, thermal imaging can’t see through solid objects like mountains.

Up above, there was still no movement.

But Wang Ye didn’t dare to be careless. While crawling, he picked up a stone and threw it a bit farther away.

He was intentionally creating noise to make the other person think he was still moving.

After all, the other person couldn’t see him either.

As Wang Ye descended a few meters and then moved horizontally several more meters, he kept glancing back while his ears remained perked to detect any sound.

Once he was sure there was no movement, Wang Ye carefully got to work while lying on the ground.

He placed his gun to the side and began carefully peeling back the grass covering the ground.

This was the location where Wang Ye had previously set up a hidden landmine trap.

The trap’s setup was simple: he had dug a shallow pit in the ground and tied a hand grenade with the safety pin removed to a rope inside it..
