He knew that any negligence in this battle could have fatal consequences. "We must clear this area as quickly as possible to buy more time for our teammates," he said to Xiao Zhang beside him.

“Understood,” Xiao Zhang nodded in response, “but be careful to stay hidden and support each other to avoid being divided and surrounded by the enemy.”

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from their left, as if several people were quietly approaching.

Su Ting quickly gestured for Xiao Zhang and the other team members to lower their bodies and prepare to meet the enemy. A tense atmosphere filled the air; everyone was on edge.

A moment later, several dark figures emerged from behind the bushes. Su Ting counted softly, "One, two, three... at least four enemies!"

Old Yang chimed in from the side, "Ready? Three, two, one—go!"

At Lao Yang's command, everyone leaped up and launched a surprise attack on the enemies.

Instantly, bullets whistled through the air, sparks flying in the night sky. Su Ting pulled the trigger and fired repeatedly. He saw an enemy soldier stagger back a few steps and fall to the ground in agony.

Just then, another enemy spotted them and quickly raised his gun to return fire.

The bullet grazed Su Ting's cheek, kicking up a cloud of dirt. "Danger!" he shouted to his teammates, quickly taking cover behind a thick tree.

Su Ting leaned out halfway, using precise bursts of fire to suppress the enemy, forcing him to duck for cover. However, it wasn't long before the man began to maneuver in other directions, attempting to bypass them and launch a counterattack.

"Watch the left flank!" Old Yang shouted. He had clearly noticed the change in the opponent's position.

Just as Su Ting was about to change his position to continue firing, he suddenly felt a slight vibration under his feet—oh no, it must be a grenade!

Without time to think, he shoved his comrade who was still beside him and rolled to the other side to avoid the grenade that was about to explode.

Almost at the same moment, a loud "boom" followed, and gravel and mud scattered everywhere, causing the entire forest to tremble slightly.

Although he managed to avoid the center of the explosion, the shockwave still threw him several meters away, landing him in a shallow crater. "Are you alright?" A concerned voice sounded in his ear; it seemed to be Old Yang.

Su Ting struggled to sit up, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, it's just that my ears are ringing a little."

"That's great." Old Yang smiled with relief. "Let's hurry up and catch up to help. The battle ahead seems to be getting more and more intense."

As they were speaking, two more enemies rushed forward from the front, clearly trying to take advantage of the chaos to break through the defenses.

But Su Ting was already fully focused. He calmly raised his rifle, aimed at the nearest target, and fired two shots, hitting vital organs.

He then turned and opened fire on another figure trying to escape the battlefield. Although he missed directly this time, he successfully pushed the opponent back to a position where his teammates could provide cover.

Just as the situation had temporarily stabilized, the voice of Captain Wang Ming of the Dragon Flame Assault Team suddenly rang out from not far away, issuing an order: "Attention all personnel—speed up the advance and eliminate the remaining enemy forces as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Su Ting felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that this was the final moment and he had to go all out.

"Follow me!" After shouting to the few people remaining beside him, he took the lead and sped through the dense forest, running towards the direction where the fighting was most intense.

Along the way, you could see corpses lying on the ground and wounded people screaming in pain... The air was filled with the smell of blood, mixed with the smell of burnt trees and flowers.

This made everyone feel the cruelty and reality of war more vividly.

Chapter 265 Beware of Flanking Attacks!

Su Ting charged ahead, his teammates close behind. The night was as dark as ink, and the surrounding environment grew increasingly chaotic, with firelight and explosions constantly mingling, illuminating their resolute faces.

Suddenly, a burst of bullets came from the right, indicating that new enemies had appeared.

"Take cover on the left! Watch out for flanking attacks!" Su Ting shouted the order.

As he spoke, he moved nimbly to avoid becoming an obvious target. The team members immediately spread out, looking for cover to protect themselves.

Old Yang, not far away, quickly adjusted his position, his eyes fixed on the group of targets that had suddenly appeared. "I've spotted three targets here, at seven o'clock," he quickly reported to the others. "Are you ready?"

"I'm ready at any moment, just waiting for your order." Xiao Zhang's voice carried a unique ease; despite the tense situation, he seemed never to lose his confidence. He knew he couldn't afford to lose his composure at such a crucial moment.

Old Yang nodded and reminded everyone again, in concise language, to maintain formation: "Pay attention to distance and be ready to change positions at any time. We need to support each other to break through this barrage of fire."

A few seconds later, with his deep but firm command to "Fire," the three men drew their guns and fired almost simultaneously.

Bullets rained down like a storm, instantly shattering the silence and turning the night into a chaotic battlefield.

The enemy's counterattack was equally swift and accurate, forcing Su Ting to retreat behind a large tree for a moment to catch his breath.

The deafening explosions and the shouts of my comrades filled my ears.

“Don’t panic, everyone. Proceed as we’ve been trained,” his voice was steady and authoritative through the radio. “We must hold every position until rescue arrives.”

At that very moment, a thick plume of black smoke suddenly billowed out from ahead, accompanied by a pungent, burning smell and continuous screams. Clearly, the situation there was much worse…

"Captain, what's going on up ahead?" a newly recruited soldier asked worriedly.

Su Ting took a deep breath. Although he was also very worried about the safety of his comrades, as the team leader, he knew that what was needed at this moment was calm judgment rather than losing control of his emotions.

“There must have been vehicles or important facilities destroyed,” he said, “but that’s not something we can change right now, we can only keep moving forward.”

Just then, the voice of another member of the Dragon Flame Commando Team, A-Qiang, rang out from afar: "A few enemies here have been eliminated, so it's safer for now. Everyone can adjust their condition a bit before setting off again."

After a brief rest, the team members began to organize their equipment and check their ammunition reserves.

"Brothers, this time we're going to teach them a lesson and show these uninvited guests what it means to be untouchable!"

Xiao Zhang dusted off his hands and said, despite his optimistic tone.

But in reality, everyone's face was filled with exhaustion—the battle had already consumed too much of their energy and strength, but no one dared to stop.

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps caught Su Ting's attention.

"Is there trouble again?"

He asked warily. "Not the enemy, they're our people!" Old Yang replied with delight. "Looks like reinforcements sent by the Dragon Flame Squad."

Soon, in the hazy night, several familiar figures could be vaguely seen slowly approaching; they were indeed their own troops.

The leader was none other than Wang Kai, his old comrade-in-arms who had previously been in charge of coordinating the actions of all parties.

"How is it? How's the situation over there?" He couldn't wait to ask about the news as soon as they met.

Su Ting briefly outlined the problems they were currently facing and proposed the idea of ​​joining forces as soon as possible to deal with the crisis.

“Good idea.” The other party agreed without hesitation. “In that case, let’s combine our operations. The more people we have, the stronger our fighting force will be.”

The two teams quickly integrated their resources and formulated the next plan. At the same time, they used their existing advantages to search and eliminate any corners in the surrounding area that might be hiding enemies, ensuring that nothing was missed before daring to move forward.

Chapter 266 Intense Unease

Old Yang checked the equipment from the side, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, "Brother Kai arrived just in time, now our chances of winning are much greater."

Wang Kai smiled and nodded, his tone encouraging, "This time, we not only have to hold our ground, but we also have to completely crush the enemy. Let's do our best!"

Su Ting glanced at his watch; time was running out.

"Okay, is everyone ready? Let's double-check the equipment and ammunition reserves before we head out." He looked around at the team members to make sure everyone was in top condition.

After adjusting his wireless equipment and confirming that the signal was stable, Xiao Zhang gave the others a thumbs-up to indicate that everything was normal.

Old Yang was counting heads and reminded the team members again: "Pay attention to maintaining formation. Don't panic in case of emergencies. Be sure to act according to the previous training."

"Yes, Captain!" everyone responded loudly.

Just as the group was about to continue, a deep, familiar roar suddenly came from afar. Su Ting abruptly raised his head, his heart tightening. "What was that sound? It sounded like... a wild beast?"

The group immediately became alert, gripping their weapons even tighter. Wang Kai frowned. "How could there be wild animals here? And I've never heard that sound before."

As the roar grew closer, a huge shadow loomed in and out of sight in the night.

Just then, a panting soldier ran up from the other side; he was Liu Hao, a new member of the Dragon Flame Commando Team.

"Captain! There seems to be a huge creature moving this way! It looks very hostile!"

A strong sense of unease gripped everyone. Su Ting pondered for a moment, then made a decisive decision.

"Retreat a distance first, find a favorable location to redeploy defenses. This way, we can observe the situation and avoid unnecessary direct conflict."

Xiao Zhang asked somewhat indignantly, "But what if that thing poses a threat to us?"

“We must find out its origins and intentions; blindly confronting it will only put us in danger.” Su Ting looked firmly at his teammates. “Now, follow my orders.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. The group quickly retreated to a more open area, setting up hidden traps and fortifications along the way.

After everyone was settled, the enormous figure slowly approached.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be a huge mechanical creature, its armor gleaming and conspicuous in the darkness.

"What is this thing?" Xiao Zhang muttered incredulously.

Old Yang squinted at the front, "Whatever it is, we have to be careful. Don't forget that sound from earlier; this thing might not be so easy to mess with."

Before the words were even finished, the mechanical beast let out a deafening roar and charged towards them. Su Ting took a deep breath, "Prepare for battle! We must stop it no matter what!"

At that moment, Wang Kai suddenly remembered some intelligence he had obtained earlier.

"Wait!" he shouted, "This thing looks like some kind of experimental subject that escaped during the lab leak. We can't deal with it using conventional methods!"

Faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone's expression became even more solemn.

At this moment, the mechanical beast had begun to destroy the surrounding environment; its immense power made it virtually indestructible.

Su Ting quickly adjusted the deployment, "We'll operate in two groups! One group will try to contain it; the other will find its weaknesses and strike. Remember to maintain open communication and share information at all times."

After saying that, he rushed out. Xiao Zhang followed closely behind, wielding a submachine gun and firing at the monster, bullets raining down on it like a storm. However, against such thick armor, these attacks had little effect.

“We can’t keep fighting like this,” Old Yang said, hiding behind cover and thinking. “We need to find the control device, otherwise we can’t stop this monster at all.”

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly dire, Ah Qiang, who had been lying in ambush on the outskirts, discovered a strange signal source on the top of a dilapidated building not far away.
