Chapter 2056 Please Respond If You Can Hear Me

His voice wasn’t loud but was extremely penetrative, under the loud gunshots, each word had clearly reached the ears of Ye Jian, whom he was staring at, and thinking about.

……

Lying prone with her face pressed against the ground, Ye Jian was suddenly stunned; under the deafening sounds of gunshot, she actually heard Captain Xia’s voice.

Roadrunner’s deep and serious voice could be heard from the earpiece, “Blue Bird, if you can hear me, please respond.”

With such a high rate of fire, they were worried something had happened to Blue Bird.

Believing that she had an auditory hallucination, Ye Jian adjusted her mentality, lying prone without moving; she smiled: “I’m still alive, I’m fine. The bullets were swept into the air; only stray bullets grazed me.”

After her smile, listening to the sounds of gunfire attentively, she pursed her lips tight, and with a serious look on her face, she continued: “I’m starting to suspect they want to capture us alive. Otherwise, they wouldn’t shoot the bullets blindly into the air. Pigeon, how’s the situation near your location?”

When a situation like shooting blindly into the air occurs, normally there would be two reasons behind it, one: an act of suppression; two: surround and capture.

Ye Jian was more inclined with the second reason.

They weren’t afraid of being captured, and they weren’t far away from the seaside; they could suppress fire and retreat towards the beach. They were more concerned about Pigeon and the others; there were still six engineers who hadn’t managed to escape.

“We’re doing fine,” Pigeon, who didn’t interrupt them without cause and only listened to the trio’s conversation the entire time, answered Ye Jian, “Keep your firepower steady; there’s no need to waste bullets with them. We’re already very close to the seaside; the moment Blood Swallow arrives with the assault boat, we’ll leave immediately.”

Hearing that, Ye Jian’s heartfelt much more at ease; as long as they could send the engineering team away, then they would have an easier time handling things.

The two assault boats they drove over from the tourist island were too noisy, so they didn’t disembark at the beach where it’s easier to go ashore; instead, they approached the tallest cliff of the highland, and the ten of them went diving and came ashore from the beach.

According to their plan, after their successful rescue, the members must dive and swim to the cliff, then drive the boat over here, and leave with the engineering team.

Currently, Ye Jian, Crane, and Roadrunner were quite far away from them; if they asked Pigeon and the others to steer the boat over to rescue them, in case the rescued engineers on the boat lose their protection if any accident occurs, then they would be in a dangerous situation.

That’s why Ye Jian had suggested the idea of ‘robbing a ship,’ the three of them would steal a boat and leave so that there’s no need for Pigeon and the others to split their attention, and all they needed to do was to escort the engineers away.

Ye Jian’s timely reply had put the hearts of all her comrades at ease.

Roadrunner, who couldn’t stand up because they were under constant fire, pressed his hand against his arm that was grazed by a stray bullet, he bellowed: “It’s great that you’re fine, their firepower is too intense, if they keep up the suppressing fire on us, we might really get captured alive.”

“No matter how large a submachine gun’s magazine is, there’s no way they could fire a constant stream of bullets like a machine gun, even if they shoot in rotation, there must be a weak timing where they need to reload!”

Ye Jian, who had yet to cut off communication with Pigeon, landed her eyes on a tree with a bent trunk, after locking on to a certain spot, a cold glimmer flashed beneath her eyes, she whispered: “Thirty bullet capacity, after thirty bullets they must reload, Crane, Roadrunner, you guys cover me, I’ll go to a sniping position and take one of them out.”

Every kill they could get counts! Each enemy they take out would equal one less person shooting their submachine guns.

Their previous inverted triangle formation had made Crane and Roadrunner get too close with the enemies that were suppressing them with high firepower, which made it hard for them to move quickly; only Ye Jian, who was slightly farther away than them, could do it.

Being too close to the enemy, Crane and Roadrunner were covered in splintered bark and crushed leaves that were cut off from the bullets; hearing that, they said simultaneously, “No problem.”
