Chapter 768: Attack From Different Directions, Thinking Outside the Box! Part 2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Origin Territory, a dense forest under Main Peak.
Feng Tianmin’s team was already in disguise and patiently waiting on tree branches, occasionally observing the distance with their binoculars.
Among the four tasks delegated by Su Mo, the most dangerous one was monitoring Sun Bahu.
This was the main reason it was assigned to Feng Tianmin.
Out of all the people, he was the most collected and knew what to do in different situations. He would not impulsively danger the lives of himself and the team.
At the same time, this task could also be considered the simplest out of the four.
When there were no movements in the Main Peak, everyone could daze out for a bit and imagine going back to the territory to rest and have a huge feast.
A few moments later.
The sun gradually raised to the center of the sky. The moist and cold Great Mountain also began to usher in the hottest time of the day.
At noon, the temperature rose to 3 degrees and was comfortingly warm in the cold winter.
However, it was at this time that Feng Tianmin was in full concentration.
It was not because he sensed the other party dispatching in advance but because Su Mo had deliberately pulled him aside and given him some advice before they set out.
“Tianmin, you can’t deal with Sun Bahu as how you would with an ordinary person. His brain…Uhm. Might be a little different from ordinary people.
“If I’m not wrong, he’ll come out when you least expect him but won’t make a move when you expect him to.
“You have to…put yourself in his shoes. Do you get me? You have to put yourself in the position of a territory lord that was betrayed and think about what you would do if you were in that situation!”
Su Mo had a strange expression when saying these to him, but Feng Tianmin indeed took his words to heart.
The best time to transport the supplies out of Main Peak would be either near the afternoon or at night.
In his opinion, twelve at noon was the most unlikely time for this group of people to appear.
After all, transporting even a small cart of supplies would cause looting and chaos if they were spotted by villagers.
However, Su Mo’s instructions resounded in his heart, and after he observed from the tree for more than ten minutes, Feng Tianmin’s face suddenly showed a complicated expression. He quickly hid behind a tree branch and picked up his radio speaker.
“Eagle, Eagle! Arrest those two people who just left. Be careful! He is armed.
“Take proper measures. Don’t use a gun and startle them if you can subdue them at close range.”
Creak…
After a series of unpleasant frequency noises, a deep voice sounded from the radio speaker.
“Understood!” Immediately after, it turned back into frequency noises.
The people selected to monitor Sun Bahu were the elites out of the hundred soldiers.
These soldiers had extraordinary skills and were capable of fighting against five people alone.
Feng Tianmin believed that he had taken the highest precautions by sending three of them to deal with one person.
Ten minutes later, his expression changed drastically as things did not seem to go as he planned after hearing the radio speaker again.
“Eagle’s Nest, Eagle’s Nest. The person we approached was indeed strange. His storage space is full of a lot of supplies, taking up to two cubic meters of space. We can likely confirm that he is a member of the transport team that was sent out from the mountain.
“Unfortunately, he suddenly began to violently resist during the process of arresting and interrogation, which resulted in one of our members getting seriously injured. We had no choice but to counterattack and killed him. We’re waiting for further instructions!”
One out of three elites was severely injured by an ordinary person that was seen limping on one leg previously.
It was clear that the other party also had on a disguise and were not normal refugees that descended the mountain to exchange supplies.
The person had plenty of resources in his storage space and carried a full cart of resources with him.
These two pieces of evidence were enough to prove his identity!
“Eagle! What’s the status of our injured member? Can first-aid be provided immediately?”
No gunshots were heard, which meant that they used melee combat.
Unlike a gun wound which would leave a hole that was impossible to treat without surgery, most injuries in melee combat could be temporarily bandaged and dealt with in follow-up treatment.
“Our comrade has sustained five stab wounds, one of which is near the kidney. We’ve successfully stopped the bleeding with psychic energy water, which will buy us some time.
“Eagle’s Nest, we’re performing immediate care and request to leave the battlefield temporarily.”
Two voices sounded one after another from the radio speaker, and Feng Tianmin immediately agreed without hesitation.
Since the establishment of Hope Village and Heaven’s Origin, the most serious injury sustained by all the residents were minor injuries caused by careless labor.
It was the first time anyone had been stabbed five times and sustained a serious injury near the kidney.
‘I was careless. The shelter leader was right. These people would indeed be very conspicuous with small carts, but I totally forgot about the storage space’s existence!”
‘They could easily disguise themselves as ordinary people to avoid suspicion and secretly leave.
‘Smart! Very smart!’
Feng Tianmin’s heart was suddenly filled with fear as he recalled Su Mo’s instructions.
Everyone would have been still waiting on the tree branch for their transportation teams to deploy while these disguised people secretly transported away the stuff under their eyes if not for Su Mo’s reminder.
They would have long emptied the territory resources while they stupidly waited from day to night in this spot.
However, there were still a considerable amount of supplies left in the territory, and it was not too late to realize it now.
Feng Tianmin’s eyes filled with coldness as he saw another limping refugee in sight. He immediately gave instructions through the radio speaker.
This time, he no longer sent out three or five soldiers.
He sent out a whole team of ten soldiers!
‘In terms of tactics, the shelter leader had already foreseen it!
‘In terms of strength, we aren’t weak either. Whoever dares to transport food out today will be ended on the spot!’
