Just as his escape route was about to be cut off and he was in despair, the enemy high-ranking officer stopped and pulled out a small pistol, intending to put up a final stand.

Chapter 375 Seizing the Opportunity to Counterattack

Seeing the other man pull out a gun, Lin Zhi immediately shouted in a low voice, "Watch out!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already leaped out of cover and pounced on the target. At the same time, his rifle was aimed at the opponent's head.

"Put down your weapons!" Su Ting shouted, trying to put psychological pressure on the other side.

However, the other party was clearly desperate. His face was pale, but he gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes. "You won't be able to catch me!"

"Stop making a futile struggle," Li Jie said coldly. He had already circled around to the rear of the target, forming an encirclement.

Just then, Zhou Yang suddenly darted out from the side and launched a flying kick at the opponent's arm, attempting to knock the pistol out of his hand. However, the target reacted quickly, dodging the attack and seizing the opportunity to counterattack, landing a heavy punch on Zhou Yang's abdomen.

Zhou Yang groaned in pain, staggered back a few steps, and squatted down, clutching his abdomen.

"Zhou Yang!" Lin Zhi shouted, his resolve hardening. He quickly stepped forward and kicked the other man with all his might, successfully knocking him to the ground.

"Ah!" The other person screamed in pain, and the pistol in his hand fell to the ground.

"Don't move!" Su Ting grabbed the other man's body and quickly subdued him. The others rushed over to help.

"Finally caught you." Lin Zhi said coldly, bending down to pick up the gun on the ground, quickly unloading the magazine, and only after confirming that there was no threat did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mission accomplished!" Su Ting clapped his hands, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Quickly, search him and see if he has any of those important documents," Lin Zhi ordered.

The group quickly divided the tasks and began to carefully search the belongings of the arrested individuals. After a thorough search, they indeed found a small metal USB drive in a hidden pocket.

"Found it!" one of the team members excitedly held up the USB drive and showed it to everyone.

“Well done, we’ll go back and report.” Su Ting nodded approvingly, then turned to the still struggling target, “Is there anything else you want to say?”

"You..." the other man gasped, his eyes filled with resentment and anger, "You just wait, I have accomplices, they will avenge me!"

"Let them come," Lin Zhi said calmly, a cold glint in his eyes. "We're not afraid."

"Alright, take him away." Su Ting gave the order, then turned to contact the command center to report the situation.

Just then, the radio suddenly rang.

"This is Team A03, what's the situation?" came the voice from the command center.

"Command center, this is Team A03. Mission accomplished. Target captured, and important data recovered," Su Ting replied.

"Well done, awaiting further instructions. Over."

"Received, all done."

After hanging up the call, Su Ting looked at everyone. "You've all worked hard. We need to get back to base as soon as possible."

Just as they were about to leave, one of the team members suddenly noticed movement in the woods ahead.

"Captain, look over there, there seems to be a figure!" the team member said nervously.

Everyone immediately became alert and quickly went on high alert.

"Be careful, it might be enemy reinforcements," Lin Zhi whispered a warning.

Su Ting nodded, signaling the team to disperse and form an encirclement.

“We cannot allow anyone to ruin our plans,” he said. “We must ensure a safe evacuation.”

"Understood." The team members responded one after another, and the atmosphere instantly became even more tense.

"Hopefully nothing unexpected will happen," Lin Zhi murmured to himself, already prepared to face new challenges.

"No matter who it is, we will not let them get away with it," Su Ting said firmly, his eyes blazing.

Just then, faint footsteps came from the woods ahead, as if someone was indeed approaching.

"Prepare for battle!" Su Ting commanded in a low voice.

"This time, we absolutely cannot let anyone escape," Li Jie added in a low voice, gripping his weapon tightly.

Chapter 376 Exchanging Eye Contact

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the woods ahead. Su Ting and Lin Zhi quickly exchanged a glance, then moved to either side in unison, ensuring they could observe and surround any potential enemies from different angles.

Although Zhou Yang's abdomen was still aching slightly, he gritted his teeth, gripped his weapon tightly, and refused to fall behind.

A moment later, a figure emerged from the woods. The person seemed oblivious to them, keeping their head down and walking with a slightly unsteady gait.

"Who is it?" Su Ting asked in a low voice.

The man suddenly looked up and, seeing several people surrounding him, immediately showed a look of terror. "No...don't shoot, I'm a villager from a nearby village."

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Lin Zhi asked warily, his rifle still pointed at the other man.

The man quickly raised his hands and explained, "I'm a villager here, my name is Lao Zhang. I heard some noise here and wanted to come and see what was going on."

Su Ting narrowed his eyes, sizing up the man. He was dressed in tattered clothes, his face covered in mud, and he certainly looked like a local old farmer. But this did not lessen his vigilance in the slightest.

"How can you prove that what you're saying is true?" Li Jie asked coldly, clearly not entirely trusting this person who had suddenly appeared.

Old Zhang looked nervous, glanced around, and suddenly pointed to a small field not far away: "That land is mine. You can go and see for yourselves if you don't believe me. Many people in the village know me. I'm a good person, really!"

Lin Zhi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but remained on guard. "You stay here for now, we'll check your story."

"Okay, okay." Old Zhang nodded repeatedly, looking quite apprehensive.

Lin Zhi gave Li Jie a wink, and the two quickly crossed the woods, heading towards the field Old Zhang had indicated. Su Ting and another team member stayed behind, keeping a close watch on the villager.

Shortly after, Li Jie returned and reported: "Captain, he is indeed cultivating that land, and several villagers nearby are also working in the fields, confirming his identity."

“It seems he was telling the truth.” Su Ting nodded, slightly relieved. “But we still need to remain vigilant and not let our guard down.”

"Yes!" the team members answered in unison.

Seeing this, Old Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you for your trust. I just wanted to help out and see if there was anything I could do to help."

"Thank you for your cooperation," Su Ting said politely, "but the situation here is a bit complicated. You'd better go home as soon as possible and stay away from here, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I'll be right there." Old Zhang quickly turned and left, saying as he went, "Be careful, it's not very safe here."

Watching Old Zhang's departing figure, Su Ting turned to the others. "Everyone get ready, let's continue forward and return to base as soon as possible."

Lin Zhi added, "We need to be extra careful and prevent any further accidents."

Just then, Zhou Yang clutched his stomach and whispered, "Captain, I think we should wake that guy up first and find out if he has any other accomplices. Otherwise, the journey will be too risky."

Su Ting pondered for a moment and nodded. "That's right. Take him to a more open area over there for questioning. The rest of you, continue to keep watch and ensure the safety of the surrounding area."

The team quickly split into two groups: one group was responsible for guarding the arrested individuals, while the other group dispersed to form a tight defensive line.

"He's awake! Wake up!" A team member pushed the captured target hard.

The man slowly opened his eyes and, finding himself surrounded by heavily armed personnel, his face immediately turned extremely grim. "What do you want?"

"Don't play dumb, you know what we mean," Su Ting said coldly. "Tell me, where are your accomplices?"

The target's eyes widened, and he stubbornly denied it, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about, I have no accomplices!"

"Do you think we'll believe that?" Lin Zhi said coldly. "If you don't confess honestly, we'll take you back and let your superior deal with you."

A flicker of fear crossed the target's eyes. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "Alright, I'll tell you. But after I tell you, you must guarantee my safety."

Chapter 377 Providing Information and Supplies

“Your safety is not something we can guarantee, but if you cooperate, at least for now, there will be no danger,” Su Ting said coldly.

The target swallowed hard, his eyes darting between the group, before finally sighing. "Alright, I have a few contacts in a nearby town who will provide me with information and supplies. I can give you their contact information."

Lin Zhi quickly stepped forward, took out a small notebook and pen from his pocket, and handed them to him. "Write it down, don't miss any details."

The man took the pen and notebook, quickly wrote down some addresses and phone numbers, and handed them back. "That's all. I really don't know anything else."

Li Jie took the notebook, examined it carefully, and then handed it to Su Ting. Su Ting took it, looked at it, and said in a deep voice, "We will verify the authenticity of this information. If you dare to lie to us, you will bear the consequences."

The man nodded tremblingly, his face as pale as paper. "I won't lie to you, all of this is true."

“Okay, take him away and lock him up somewhere,” Su Ting ordered. “Make sure he doesn’t escape.”

The team members immediately sprang into action, escorting the man to a large tree and securing him firmly to the trunk with handcuffs. Zhou Yang remained on guard, ensuring everything was under control.

After making the arrangements, Su Ting turned to Lin Zhi and Li Jie. "We must return to base as soon as possible and report this to command. We need to mobilize more manpower to deal with this enemy."

Lin Zhi nodded in agreement: "Yes, time is of the essence, we must speed things up."

The group quickly organized their equipment and set off again.

The forest path was exceptionally quiet, broken only by footsteps and the occasional chirping of birds. Su Ting walked at the front, vigilantly observing every move around him, while the others followed closely behind, forming a tight defensive line.

Suddenly, Su Ting stopped and waved for everyone to take cover. "Wait, something's up!"

The team immediately dispersed and hid behind trees. Li Jie asked in a low voice, "Captain, what did you find?"

"There's some noise over there," Su Ting said softly, pointing to a patch of bushes not far away.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a series of hurried footsteps approached, and several figures darted out of the bushes, clearly fleeing.
