The sewer wasn't long; after about ten minutes, they saw a faint light at the other end. Zhao Yang gently pushed aside the obstructions, and after confirming that it was safe around them, the three of them crawled out.
The open area outside was now clearly visible, and the sound of the helicopter rotors was getting closer and closer.
"We're almost there!" Su Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and the three of them rallied their spirits and ran towards the designated location.
At that moment, the communicator rang again. "This is the Central Command. We have received your signal. Please confirm your location."
Zhao Yang quickly picked up the communicator and replied, "We are in an open area and can already see the helicopter. Please give instructions."
"Maintain your current position and await helicopter landing," command replied.
The three slowed their pace, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness. The helicopter in the distance gradually grew larger, its light shining on the ground, bringing a glimmer of hopeful warmth.
"They're here! The helicopter is here!" Su Ting shouted excitedly.
However, at that moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from not far away, and the bullets hit the ground around them, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Damn it! Someone's catching up again!" Lin Fei cursed angrily.
The three immediately scattered, seeking cover. Su Ting hid behind a large rock, Zhao Yang hid behind a large tree, and Lin Fei rolled into the nearby bushes.
The number of pursuers had increased significantly, and the situation had become even more dire. Su Ting gripped his pistol tightly, bracing himself for a life-or-death battle.
“We must hold on until the helicopter arrives,” Zhao Yang said in a deep voice.
"I know, but the situation is getting more and more dangerous." Lin Fei observed his surroundings through the grass, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Just at this critical moment, an even louder roar came from the sky, and the helicopter finally appeared in their sight, slowly descending.
"Hold on! The rescue is on its way!" Su Ting shouted encouragingly.
Zhao Yang nodded in agreement: "Let's all work together. As long as we get through this moment, we'll be safe!"
At that moment, the helicopter's lights completely illuminated the open area, and the pilot shouted through the loudspeaker, "We're here! Board now!"
Chapter 311 Buying Time
Su Ting took a deep breath, his eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to pinpoint the pursuers' exact location. "We need to get close to the helicopter as quickly as possible," he whispered, "to distract them and buy me some time."
"Understood." Zhao Yang quickly adjusted his posture, preparing to rush out from behind the tree. "I will draw some of their fire, and you guys take the opportunity to get close to the helicopter."
Lin Fei was also ready to sprint, saying, "If I'm with you, we can cover each other and it will be easier to shake off the pursuers."
Su Ting nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's move out. I'll try to flank them from the side and create chaos for them."
All three knew that this might be their only chance to escape. Their safety would depend entirely on their actions at this crucial moment, once the helicopter landed.
Zhao Yang took a deep breath, suddenly leaped out from behind the tree, and pulled the trigger at the same time.
A sudden flash of light and the sound of gunfire shattered the silence of the night, drawing the attention of most of the enemy. The enemy was thrown into chaos, frantically searching for the source of the fire, and a hail of bullets rained down on Zhao Yang's position.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Fei immediately sprang out of the bushes, firing back rapidly as he ran. He and Zhao Yang took turns firing, creating crossfire that made it difficult for the enemy to aim accurately.
At this moment, Su Ting circled around to the enemy's flank and quickly approached.
He found a low rock to use as cover and began to snipe methodically, each shot effectively striking the enemy. Su Ting's skills were indeed superb; within seconds, several enemies had fallen to the ground.
Working together, the three gradually closed the distance to the helicopter. Seeing their struggle, the pilot urged, "Hurry! Don't stop, keep going!"
At this moment, several more enemies appeared from another direction, making the situation even more critical.
Seeing this, Su Ting reacted quickly, shouting, "Lin Fei, there's danger on the right! Get ready to throw grenades!"
Without hesitation, Lin Fei immediately took out a grenade from his waist, unscrewed the safety pin, and threw it forcefully.
With a loud bang, the enemies on the right were hit by the blast wave and scattered in all directions, temporarily losing their ability to attack.
Taking advantage of this brief window of opportunity, Su Ting sprinted forward and finally reached the vicinity of the helicopter. He grabbed the handle next to the cabin door and shouted back to his comrades still engaged in battle, "We're here! Zhao Yang, Lin Fei, come quick!"
However, just when they thought they were about to succeed, a small drone appeared in mid-air, carrying more firepower.
It began firing wildly at the ground, raining down bullets and engulfing the entire open area in a sea of fire.
Su Ting was taken aback. "Damn it, where did this thing come from?"
"Never mind that, we have to get on the helicopter right now!" Zhao Yang shouted, running towards the helicopter amidst the gunfire.
Lin Fei followed closely behind, his face covered in sweat and dirt, but his eyes were unusually firm.
Despite bullets whizzing past their ears, the two men skillfully dodged them, gradually closing in on the helicopter thanks to their exceptional military skills.
Upon seeing this, the maintenance personnel at the helicopter cabin door quickly reached out to help, forcefully pulling Su Ting, who had arrived first, "Come in quickly, come in!"
Meanwhile, the pilot anxiously maneuvered the aircraft, trying to evade the drone attack. The fuselage trembled slightly, adding to the sense of danger in this tense moment.
As Zhao Yang was the last to board, the cabin door slowly closed. The helicopter rotors spun rapidly, and with a tremendous roar, it took off. The three of them gripped the fixed handrails beside them tightly and let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking down at the gradually shrinking crowd and battlefield, Lin Fei whispered, "Finally out..."
"Yes," Zhao Yang nodded, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "It's all thanks to everyone's cooperation."
Su Ting gazed out the window at the receding horizon and silently vowed: No matter how arduous the road ahead may be, we will overcome it one by one.
Chapter 312 A New Beginning
The helicopter sped through the night sky, gradually moving away from the chaos and smoke. Inside the cabin, the three men temporarily relaxed their tense nerves, but their eyes remained alert, scanning their surroundings from time to time.
The pilot navigated the helicopter to a relatively safe clearing in the dim night. As the aircraft gradually stabilized, Lin Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This looks relatively safe; we can rest here for a while."
Zhao Yang nodded and looked at Su Ting: "We need to contact the base immediately, let them know our situation, and request support."
Su Ting took out his communicator, attempting to contact the outside world. However, after several attempts, his expression turned serious: "The signal is being jammed. It seems the other side was prepared."
Lin Fei frowned: "If we can't contact the base, we'll have to rely on ourselves."
“Don’t worry,” Su Ting patted his shoulder, “I have an emergency channel. The signal might be intermittent, but it should still work. It just will take a while.”
After saying that, Su Ting adjusted the frequency of the communicator and began to carefully test it. After some effort, he finally received a faint response.
"This is the 'Falcon' team, calling command. Please respond." Su Ting pronounced each word as clearly as possible.
After a while, a muffled voice came through the communicator: "This is command post, Falcon Squad, please report the situation."
Sutin quickly reported their current location and the predicament they were facing. "We need support, especially medical supplies and weapons."
After a moment's hesitation, the command center responded, "We will dispatch support as soon as possible. Please remain where you are and stay in contact."
After putting away the communicator, Su Ting turned to Zhao Yang and Lin Fei: "The command will send someone to pick us up. Now we need to set up some simple defensive lines around here to ensure we are not ambushed again."
Zhao Yang nodded in agreement: "I'll take some tools and go out to survey the surrounding environment to see if there are any suitable places to deploy defenses."
Lin Fei then got up and took out a few smoke grenades and an infrared detector from his backpack: "I'll come with you too. We can use these devices to set up some security."
Su Ting nodded, then added, "Be careful to stay hidden and act cautiously. Don't let the enemy discover our location."
Watching the two leave, Su Ting remained in the cabin to continue inspecting the weapons and equipment. He meticulously disassembled the firearms, cleaning and maintaining each one to ensure that every gun could perform at its best in the upcoming mission.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Yang and Lin Fei returned to the helicopter. Lin Fei spoke first: "We found a small grove of trees on the east side, which can be used to hide and observe the surrounding area."
Zhao Yang added, "We've deployed several sensors and traps there. An alarm will be triggered immediately if anyone gets close."
Su Ting nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the brightening sky outside the window: "In that case, let's take a rest. We've been fighting continuously for over ten hours, and we need to conserve our energy for the battles to come."
The three of them took turns calming down and resting briefly in the cramped cabin. Despite their exhaustion, they remained hopeful.
Just then, the faint sound of an engine came from afar. Su Ting suddenly stood up: "Someone's coming, be on high alert."
"Is it a rescue?" Lin Fei asked.
Zhao Yang gripped his rifle tightly, staring at the grove of trees ahead: "Whether they are friends or enemies, we must be fully prepared."
The three soldiers on the helicopter re-entered combat readiness, silently awaiting the unknown. The sound of the engine grew closer, and a transport plane slowly came into view.
Su Ting picked up his binoculars and carefully confirmed, "They're friendly forces!"
A relieved smile appeared on the tense faces of the three people, who could finally put down the heavy burden in their hearts.
At that very moment, the transport plane's door opened, and several soldiers quickly jumped out and ran towards them.
Chapter 313 Standard Military Salute
The transport plane landed smoothly on the relatively safe open ground. Several soldiers in uniform emerged from the cabin, led by a tall, resolute-looking officer.
He strode towards Su Ting and the other two, and gave them a crisp military salute: "Falcon Squad, I am Captain Li Ming, dispatched by headquarters, here to meet you."
Su Ting returned the greeting with a relieved smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Li. Our situation is very bad right now, and we need to get medical supplies and weapons as soon as possible."
Li Ming nodded and then signaled to the accompanying soldiers to begin unloading the supplies from the transport plane.
“Don’t worry, we’ll resupply you as soon as possible. Medical personnel are already on their way; they’ll provide initial treatment immediately.” He turned to Su Ting, “Have you noticed anything unusual?”
Su Ting frowned slightly: "We've set up some warning devices in the grove on the east side, but they haven't been triggered yet. However, the enemy may have more ambushes, so we need to be prepared to defend ourselves."
“Understood,” Li Ming said. “I brought several reconnaissance teams that can immediately conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding area. In addition, we have brought sufficient countermeasures equipment to deal with any potential interference.”
As the soldiers unloaded the supplies in batches, Lin Fei quickly inventoried the ammunition boxes, medicine boxes, and portable radar devices.
Zhao Yang and a soldier went to the grove to check the guard position.
At this moment, Li Ming handed Su Ting a satellite topographic map: "This map shows the terrain of this area, and we can use it to formulate a more detailed defense plan."
Su Ting took the map and studied it carefully for a while, then suddenly pointed to one of the locations and said.
