Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 293 The Trip to Langde Village (3)

During this operation, Chang Ning and his team had dealt with drug-selling criminal gangs many times in the jungle and knew how cunning and ruthless these criminals were.

Since the hunters from Langde Village had ambushed them and seized their goods, this group of people would certainly not let the villagers of Langde Village go.

Langde Village will face a brutal reprisal. How can a group of unarmed villagers withstand the vicious retaliation of criminals?
After destroying those items, everyone waited for the sacrificial ceremony to end before returning to the village with the village chief.

In a thatched hut in the village, Xia Lan and Chang Ning exchanged information.

Group B members were inclined to evacuate the villagers from the village, as the criminal gang selling drugs was very likely to retaliate against Langde Village.

"No, the villagers have lived here for generations."

I know them; they won't leave here.

Xia Lan's words put everyone in a difficult position. The villagers were unwilling to leave, and Group B had too few people. They couldn't protect Langde Village by themselves.

"Should we call the military to come and support us?"

Xia Lan had this idea before Group B arrived, and now that she's brought it up, she can discuss it with everyone.

“The large-scale operation hasn’t even started yet. If the troops go into the mountains, our intentions will be too obvious and we’ll alert the enemy. Then all our preparations over the past month will be wasted.” Geng Jihui rejected Xia Lan’s suggestion.

Why should we insist on making the villagers move down the mountain?

Chang Ning looked at Geng Jihui and Xia Lan with great confusion. It's just evacuating the villagers, why does it need to be so complicated?
"How to say?"

Seeing Chang Ning's confident demeanor, Geng Jihui knew that the guy had a plan, so he asked him to speak.

"The jungle is so big that it can easily accommodate hundreds or thousands of people. Since the villagers don't want to leave, then they shouldn't leave."

We can hide them in the woods, or use empty Langde Village as bait.

"We'll help them rebuild their villages after they're destroyed."

Chang Ning's words immediately opened up everyone's thinking.

"I knew you were clever!"

Chang Ning solved a major problem that had been troubling everyone with just a few words, and Geng Jihui smiled broadly, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing.

"Don't be happy too early."

Chang Ning then poured cold water on Geng Jihui and Xia Lan's enthusiasm again: "We still need to report this to Wolf Head; we can't act on our own."

After hearing Chang Ning's words, Geng Jihui couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

I thought Chang Ning would say something profound, but this is all I got?

Doesn't he know he needs to report this to Wolf Head? Does he need you to remind him?
Why worry about nothing?

"And one more thing."

Before Geng Jihui could react, Chang Ning continued, "We need to keep up with the relevant intelligence. We don't want to end up setting up a trap only to find that the enemy never comes."

That would be like playing mind games with thin air, making us look incredibly foolish.

"I'll take responsibility for this."

Xia Lan took on all the intelligence work herself, which was something that Chang Ning and others did not have the advantage over the police in.

They don't receive as much attention from intelligence work within criminal groups involved in selling drugs as the police do; after all, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

Besides, Xia Lan came to Langde Village specifically to gather intelligence; the informants she had previously recruited were villagers from Langde Village.

It was purely coincidental that the hunters ambushed the drug-selling criminal gang.

"Could you tell us about it?"
"If it involves classified information, then forget it." Geng Jihui asked. Since he had decided to get involved, he had to consider the safety of the entire Group B, so he needed to gather as much information as possible.

Faced with Geng Jihui's request, Xia Lan hesitated for a moment.

Finally, she realized this as well, so she revealed all the information about the informant.

Since we are going to cooperate, intelligence sharing is the most basic requirement.

Is the informant you recruited reliable?

I mean, isn't it too dangerous for you to go to the rendezvous alone?

We can send someone to meet you.

Geng Jihui spoke tactfully, but Xia Lan understood the meaning behind his words.

They just doubted her abilities because she was a woman, fearing she couldn't handle the informant.

Before Xia Lan could even speak, the ostrich impatiently made its statement.

"That's right, the Timberwolves are right."

Since we have people with us, safety should be our priority. I can go with you to the rendezvous point.

When the ostrich made its statement, Chang Ning knew what it was up to.

When he finished speaking, Chang Ning showed an expression that said, "Just as I expected."

But Xia Lan didn't appreciate it. In her opinion, the elite group from the Army Special Forces in Group B were looking down on her.

"No need, I've been in charge of this all by myself until you came."

"Besides, my scores in both shooting and hand-to-hand combat are pretty good." Xia Lan flatly rejected the ostrich's offer.

Xia Lan's confident demeanor made Chang Ning laugh: "You ostrich, if they don't appreciate it, don't rush to cling to them."

Staff Officer Xia's work on the covert front requires more than just your hand-to-hand combat and shooting skills; this is also crucial.

Chang Ning pointed to his head. He was very suspicious of how someone as self-important as Xia Lan could sit in the position of staff officer. Weren't the leaders afraid that Xia Lan would make a rash decision and lead the team astray?
Inside the meeting room, Chang Ning publicly exposed the ostrich's little scheme, making him blush and feel very embarrassed. Xia Lan was so angry that she had to take several deep breaths to barely suppress her anger and remain rational.

Although everyone could tell that Chang Ning's words made sense, why did he go all out against Staff Officer Xia today and show him no mercy?

They even rubbed the ostrich's face on the ground.

This has never happened in Changning before, so what's going on?
Why is he targeting Staff Officer Xia so relentlessly?
The members of Group B realized that Chang Ning was targeting Xia Lan, but out of consideration for their comrades, they couldn't say anything to Chang Ning. Moreover, although Chang Ning's tone was harsh, what he said made sense.

Geng Jihui sensed that the atmosphere between the two sides was very tense, and he had to step forward and say something, otherwise the talks would inevitably break down.

"Officer Xia, Chang Ning's words are a bit harsh, but the reasoning behind them is sound."

Even if you have excellent military skills, you can't discern people's hearts, can you?

Okay, to ensure your safety, we'll send a sniper team to provide backup.

Seeing Xia Lan's lips twitch as if she wanted to interject, Geng Jihui didn't give her the chance to finish expressing his thoughts.

"Of course, they won't go to the rendezvous with you; they'll just provide security from a distance."

So you should go alone to exchange intelligence with the informant. We only have eight people left, and it's already difficult to protect Langde Village, so we can't afford to lose a single person.

As expected of the commander of Group B, Geng Jihui's arrangement both saved face for Ostrich and appeased Xia Lan.

After Geng Jihui finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent, and everyone waited for Xia Lan to make a decision.

Except for Chang Ning, he was lost in thought.
