The original "First Team" had also entered a state of engagement with the enemy, while the "Ambush Team" remained silent! Inside the "Garden Mansion," the leader received another report from his subordinates, and he felt as if he might bite his teeth to pieces.
It was just a bunch of amateurs!
How could this happen!
However, a chilling sensation suddenly flashed through his heart; it seemed he had made some assumptions too soon. Could it be...
Thinking of that possibility, he began to laugh wildly while rubbing his forehead. "Very good! Very good indeed! I want to see which faction has made such a choice at the same time! Hey, are they treating us as a springboard?"
Realizing that a third party might be involved, the leader's expression twisted. With their main forces either dead or restrained, it was likely that the enemy would soon set their sights on this place.
But now, it wasn't too late for a reaction.
With this thought in mind, a flicker of determination appeared in the man's eyes.
Bang!
He blocked the wild woman's upward-moving gun hand with his arm. Yang Xiaoyou retaliated with a shot, but it seemed the opponent was well aware of his intentions. Before he could pull the trigger, she slid her arm and twisted her body, causing the bullet to graze her lower rib and leave a streak of blood on her smooth skin.
Seeing that Y couldn't hold on any longer, Duh's eyes widened in fury. However, when he tried to get closer, he was pushed back by another shot from Yang Xiaoyou's other hand. At that distance, he couldn't block her armed arm and had no choice but to retreat significantly. He ended up with a bullet mark on the ground where he stood, and the flying concrete fragments stung his face painfully.
The shooting angle was simply too tricky, making him feel exceptionally uncomfortable.
By now, Duh found it hard to accept that someone could suppress both of them at such close range!
It was unimaginable!
If Y hadn't also been highly skilled in gunfighting and managed to hold off at that distance, they would have likely been lying dead in the street by now!
"Damn, this is serious." After pushing back the burly black man with one shot, Yang Xiaoyou prepared to concentrate her firepower on dealing with the fierce woman in front of her. However, when she saw the woman pull out a grenade from her gun hand, she frowned and feigned an attack to distract her before swiftly leaping aside to take cover behind a wall.
The woman with the grenade did not throw it immediately. The intense exchange had given her a clear understanding of her opponent's abilities. If she threw it now, there was no doubt that Yang Xiaoyou could retaliate and come after her again. Losing that deterrent would make it difficult for her to find another opportunity to create distance.
Thinking about her own proficiency in close combat and firearms, she felt a sense of humiliation at being forced to create distance. At the same time, a feeling of respect for her opponent's abilities emerged alongside her anger.
Only those who specialize in this field can truly understand the terrifying nature of such techniques. This was not something that could simply be built up over time. This encounter had opened her eyes significantly; if she could survive and study further, she was confident she could improve once more.
"Not bad, you do indeed have the qualifications to negotiate with me. Tsk tsk, to see such strong individuals in a place like this, it really is a mix of fish and dragons," Yang Xiaoyou said as she crouched on the ledge, looking down at the two below.
Aside from some particularly unusual freaks, women generally lag behind men in physical aspects. In situations of close combat, when both sides choose to engage with knives, they must rely on agility to counteract their opponents. Thus, many top female mercenaries also choose to delve into close combat and firearms training. The ratio tends to be slightly higher than that of men.
Of course, due to differing bases, those who truly make a name for themselves are about equal on both sides.
Clearly, the individual before her was not inferior to Weimar, and since she lacked Weimar's shortcomings in vision, her potential for growth was even greater.
It was precisely because her opponent was also skilled in this area that Yang Xiaoyou found herself unable to take her down in their grappling state. Coupled with the watchful presence of the bald black man beside them, Yang Xiaoyou understood that if she wanted to truly overcome them, it would come at a cost.
If she could consume her opponent without any losses, she wouldn’t mind eliminating some uncertainties. However, if that wasn’t possible, then reconciliation wouldn’t be an issue either. While she was wary of them, the likelihood of them making foolish mistakes was low; surviving in such a place required more than just strength.
Upon hearing the words of that formidable fellow, both Y and Duh let out slight sighs of relief but remained vigilant, maintaining their full awareness.
"Tsk, what’s up? You guys haven’t really pledged allegiance to any faction yet, have you? Have you considered joining me? There are many companions similar to you here who exchange experiences with each other—like gunfighting techniques," Yang Xiaoyou began to tempt them without any shred of shame, completely ignoring the fact that she had almost taken them out earlier by learning from Fia's skills.
Seeing their former adversary now lowering herself to recruit them left both Y and Duh momentarily stunned.
Although Y felt somewhat tempted by her words, they still leaned towards Moscow Hotel when it came to alliances and relationships.
"We're considering our final exam; regardless of the outcome, as long as your people don’t provoke us first, we have no interest in targeting you," Duh said without outright rejecting her offer.
"Hmph, no sincerity at all. Well then, if you're not joining me, perhaps there’s still a chance for cooperation. Currently, my stance is somewhat similar to Moscow Hotel's; please convey that message for me. I have some matters to attend to now. Goodbye." With a dismissive pout, Yang Xiaoyou stood up and waved her hand before leaping off the other side of the wall and disappearing from view.
After Yang Xiaoyou had been gone for a while, the two remaining finally relaxed their tense hearts. Who was this fierce fellow that had suddenly appeared?
"Duh, have we been too narrow-minded before?" Y said weakly. With her expertise suppressed by another's prowess, she felt somewhat dispirited.
"There is one point he is not wrong about. If he truly is part of the forces, then in the short term, he probably wouldn't make an enemy of Sister Balachai. Although they may not be friends, for now, they are not enemies either. To be honest, I hope they will never be enemies," Duh said with a wry smile.
After exchanging a glance with his partner, they chose to turn back. Encountering such a blatant warning from the other side and then following them would be a bit self-destructive. Moreover, he needed to convey the meaning of this fellow to that Russian Sister.
"Well, have they already noticed? That's fine; let's proceed with the plan. Noah, you take the lead," Mo Wenfu said, revealing a look of realization after receiving some feedback through the intercom.
Since the other party had already discovered that forces were intervening, the next step could be initiated. Did they really want to risk losing some personnel just to deal with their own side?
If they wanted to withdraw, then let them.
Following Mo Wenfu's subsequent orders, the Special Forces Operators of Hive Security Company began to split up and encircle under the leadership of those top members.
In terms of simulated aspects and precise calculations, Mo Wenfu was quite different from Yang Xiaoyou. However, no one could match him in understanding his opponent's mindset and insights into battlefield traces; here, he was the master.
Several teams perfectly avoided the withdrawing enemy units according to their planned routes. Once positioned on the outskirts, as these teams took their places, the enemy forces that were trying to block their retreat ended up being encircled instead. During their movements, they even managed to use a strategically advantageous position to eliminate a main force of the enemy that was retreating, further widening the gap between both sides.
On the battlefield, every advantage must be seized as much as possible. With these small advantages accumulating, the gap between both sides would grow larger until it culminated in a decisive attack.
To be continued.
