"You brat, are you possessed? No, you're not allowed to go. If you want to go, go by yourself..."
When Hu Rong saw that Zhuang Rui was serious, he was also a little annoyed. Why would a scholar who collects antiques and appreciates jadeite get involved in this? Besides, Zhuang Rui's influence is growing day by day. If something happens to him, Hu Rong simply cannot bear the responsibility.
"Alright, then I'll go by myself..."
Zhuang Rui's mind was focused on the mountain valley at the moment, and he didn't even realize that Hu Rong was being sarcastic. Instead, he felt that what Hu Rong said made some sense, and with his sensory abilities, it seemed that taking action would be even more convenient.
"I... I mean, do you think you're a future soldier?"
Hu Rong was amused by Zhuang Rui's words, and then said irritably, "You little brat, don't make me tie you up and take you back, okay? Just wait here obediently. It's a bit far, but if a fight breaks out, we can still hear the gunshots..."
"Okay, I won't tell you, Brother Hu, I'll definitely be fine..."
Zhuang Rui grabbed the gun, slung it over his shoulder, and charged out of the woods, disappearing into the jungle of Savage Mountain. His movements were so sudden and fast that even Hu Rong didn't have time to react.
Zhuang Rui didn't want to be a lone hero; he just wanted to use his spiritual energy to provide some support to Peng Fei and Li Zhen. With the spiritual energy in his eyes acting as a warning radar, Zhuang Rui knew that the danger wasn't too great after entering the jungle.
"Damn, is it a rabbit? It runs so fast?"
Only when Zhuang Rui's figure disappeared behind a large tree did Hu Rong react. He jumped up and shouted, "Zhang Guojun, pick thirty... no, fifty men to come with me into the mountains..."
Seeing Zhuang Rui's impulsiveness, Hu Rong's eyes turned red. Peng Fei and Li Zhen's troubles had little to do with him, but if anything happened to Zhuang Rui, Hu Rong would only be able to live as a local tyrant in Myanmar.
The group of two to three hundred men became chaotic due to Zhuang Rui's actions. By the time Zhang Guojun had selected his men and prepared his weapons to advance into the jungle, five minutes had passed since Zhuang Rui left. ...
"Bang! Bang bang!"
Three gunshots shattered the silence of the Savage Mountain. Birds nestled in the woods took flight, and some animals foraging for food looked around warily.
With the sound of gunfire, the two Kachin soldiers who were lazily leaning against the rock wall smoking suddenly had their heads thrown back, slamming against the rock wall and bouncing back.
But when their bodies fell to the ground, half of their heads had already disappeared, with red blood and white brain matter gushing out.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
A flurry of shouts came from the valley, and the Kachin soldiers who had just finished smoking opium jumped up from the ground.
These men were seasoned veterans; they didn't panic when they heard the gunshots. Instead, they tumbled and crawled toward the valley entrance, where they saw the two sentries whose heads had been blown off.
"What happened?"
Duva also moved his fat body to his feet and hid behind a rock.
Duwa remained remarkably calm. These drug lords in the Golden Triangle were quite accustomed to war and assassinations. Back when he fought alongside Khun Sa against the Burmese government, Duwa had witnessed even the most dramatic scenes.
"Duwa, the sentry was shot dead, a single bullet to the head. It doesn't seem like it was done by government troops; it sounds more like a professional assassin..."
A subordinate ran over to report the situation. His face, still flushed with excitement from his recent opium use, was still wet with the semen from masturbating his right hand.
"Hmm, the enemy shouldn't have many people. You are all the best warriors of my Kachin tribe. Charge out and crush them! I want to make wine cups from their heads!"
Duva's face revealed a fierce expression. He was a veteran who had been through many battles. He could tell from the silence after the two shots that the enemy's numbers were not large.
However, Duva was a really incompetent veteran, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to camp in such a dangerous place as the mountain hollow. Now Duva realized this, and he decided to have his men cover his escape.
Duwa had been separated from his comrades when he fought against the Burmese military government in the past. He believed that as long as he survived, he would be able to command a large following once he returned to the Golden Triangle.
As for the fate of his men, Duwa didn't care much. After all, the Kachin people were a large ethnic group in Myanmar, and there were plenty of young and strong men. He had enough US dollars in a Swiss bank, and he could just recruit a new batch of soldiers at most.
"Awooo! Awooo! Charge! Kill them all!"
Duva certainly had a knack for persuasion; his words excited those who had just smoked opium, and they all bent over and rushed toward the entrance to the valley.
"Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
One by one, golden eggshells jumped out from above the trigger. Peng Fei did not use burst fire, but instead used single shots to pick them off one by one.
"Fight back! Fight back!"
One of Duva's men shouted loudly and fired a barrage of bullets at Peng Fei's hiding place, cracking the bark of the trees and suppressing Peng Fei's firing.
"Bang! Bang!"
From another direction, Li Zhen's gun also fired, and two Kachin soldiers were shot between the eyebrows and fell to the ground.
However, these soldiers had been fighting against the government forces for many years and were still very capable as individual soldiers. They immediately divided into three groups and fired a barrage of submachine gun bullets at Li Zhen.
"Damn, their firepower is so strong..."
Peng Fei hid behind a tree, not daring to move. Bullets whizzed past him. Although he and Li Zhen had taken down six or seven people, these people were very experienced in tactical evasion. With Peng Fei's marksmanship, he failed to hit their vitals with the next few shots.
Furthermore, the valley entrance was very wide. Behind the rocks in the valley, some people used submachine guns to suppress Peng Fei and Li Zhen, while more than twenty other people rushed out together. This tactic left Peng Fei and Li Zhen helpless.
"Boom! Boom boom!"
Just as the twenty-odd people who rushed out were about to enter the jungle, several loud explosions rang out. The bodies of the people at the front were thrown high into the air like pieces of cloth. After they landed on the ground, their limbs were scattered and they were no longer human.
"Minefield, minefield, retreat, retreat..."
The two explosions caused heavy losses to the Kachin soldiers. In addition to the four or five men in front who were blown to pieces, the five or six men behind them were also bleeding from all seven orifices and collapsed to the ground.
In Vietnam and Myanmar, countless landmines from World War II or the Vietnam War remain. Every year, a large number of people are killed or maimed by accidentally stepping on landmines. People with missing limbs are frequently seen in Vietnam and Myanmar.
These seasoned soldiers are not afraid of bullets, but they are most afraid of landmines. If they are shot, they will die at worst, but if they step on a landmine and are not killed, their lives after that will be extremely miserable.
"Well done!"
Peng Fei glanced at Li Zhen, who was more than 20 meters away, gave a thumbs-up to his chest, and then darted out, pulling the trigger repeatedly, knocking down the two soldiers who hadn't yet managed to escape into the valley.
"Damn, they've started fighting?"
Zhuang Rui, who was two or three kilometers away, heard the huge explosion and immediately stopped running. He scanned Peng Fei and Li Zhen with his spiritual energy before he felt relieved.
Chapter 1000 Annihilation
"Duwa, we can't break through. The enemy has laid minefields outside..."
One of Duva's leaders had been shot in the shoulder and was bleeding profusely, perhaps still under the influence of the opium and in a state of high excitement.
"Defend! Don't let them get in!"
Duwa was starting to get nervous. He realized his foolish decision to set up camp in this ravine had given others a chance to trap him.
Just now, Duva was following closely behind his men who were charging outwards, but the power of the bomb made him the first to retreat, and now he also feels helpless.
Fortunately, this valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the entrance to the valley is held, it will be difficult for the enemy to break in. Duwa, with a grim expression, directed his men to set up the defenses.
"Peng Fei, contact Brother Zhuang and the others. If Duwa doesn't come out, we'll just have to wait it out and see who can outlast whom."
Li Zhen carefully crept up to Peng Fei's side, while Peng Fei used a sniper rifle to suppress the drug dealers in the valley, preventing them from peeking out to observe the situation.
"Okay, watch out for sniping..."
Peng Fei nodded. Duwa's men were now nearly half dead and no longer capable of launching an attack. They could easily block the valley entrance, but what the two of them lacked now was food.
If they had food supplies, Peng Fei and Li Zhen could let the people of Duwa starve to death in the valley. Of course, they could also choose to rush out and die.
"Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhuang, this is Peng Fei. Please respond if you hear me..."
Peng Fei adjusted the frequency of the walkie-talkie and started calling Zhuang Rui. The situation was now under control. Even if Zhuang Rui came, as long as he kept his distance, the drug dealers in the valley wouldn't be able to harm him.
"You brat, I told you to just scout and not alert the enemy, did you take my words as a joke?"
Zhuang Rui's voice came through Peng Fei's earpiece. Although neither of them was seriously injured, the explosion had still startled Zhuang Rui, and he quickened his pace toward the valley.
"You two be careful, I'm almost at the valley..."
After Zhuang Rui finished speaking, he turned off the walkie-talkie. The road from the edge of Savage Mountain to this valley was not difficult to travel. Zhuang Rui had run all the way here. The gunfight had only been going on for half an hour, and Zhuang Rui had already arrived.
"Damn, you two had a good fight, huh?"
Five minutes later, Zhuang Rui lay down between Peng Fei and Li Zhen. The thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground was soft and comfortable to lie on.
The sniper rifle that Peng Fei used is now in front of Zhuang Rui, giving him a chance to take down these ruthless drug dealers. Zhuang Rui naturally wants to experience the thrill of shooting.
"Brother Zhuang, are you sure you're okay? This is murder... not chicken killing..."
Li Zhen was very skeptical of Zhuang Rui's marksmanship, especially since Zhuang Rui's shot landed a full five or six meters away from a drug dealer who had just peeked out.
"Get out of here! Let me tell you, your brother is ruthless!"
Zhuang Rui's shot just now was a bit off, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Mainly, he had never pointed a gun at someone before, so he was still a little nervous.
At the valley entrance opposite, bursts of bullets were constantly being fired. Fortunately, Peng Fei and Li Zhen were suppressing the fire, and there was also the threat of bombs on the outside, so Duwa and his men were unable to break through. For a time, the two sides were deadlocked.
About half an hour later, Zhang Guojun and Hu Rong arrived with dozens of men. The situation became clear: the dozens of men hid behind the trees, making it almost impossible for the drug dealers in the valley to show their faces.
"You two are really something. Maybe you could train these kids for me sometime..."
Hu Rong was also surprised by the one-sided situation that Peng Fei and Li Zhen had created. Although it was mainly because Duwa was too foolish to choose such a campsite, Peng Fei and Li Zhen's individual combat capabilities should not be underestimated.
"Hehe, Brother Hu, no problem. Just give me one of those tiger penises you've been keeping for a while..."
Having trapped Duwa, Peng Fei was in high spirits. He no longer needed to keep an eye on the valley entrance; the men Hu Rong had brought were enough to handle the current situation.
Faced with such a rare opportunity, Hu Rong also intended to let his men see blood. You know, in a place like Myanmar, small-scale battles often occur, and those who have experienced battlefield combat are definitely many times stronger than those who have never seen blood.
"That thing's gone. Hey, what were you doing using that stuff at such a young age? Let me tell you, even though Brother Hu is over forty, he's never used that thing..."
Hu Rong glanced at Peng Fei sideways, his face full of smugness.
Hu Rong was quite confident in his abilities in this regard. Although he did not marry four or five wives like the Burmese due to family tradition, he had several women in Yangon and Mandela.
"Who knows if it's true or not?"
Peng Fei muttered something under his breath, looked at Hu Rong with a questioning look, and put on an expression of disbelief. Hu Rong almost lost his temper. What men fear most is being told they are not good enough, especially older men.
"Alright, Peng Fei, are you trying to make a mistake? Zhang Qian is pregnant, what do you need that thing for?"
Zhuang Rui interrupted the two of them. He had been using his spiritual energy to observe the valley, but he discovered that Duwa, who was unable to break out, seemed to have changed his strategy and was preparing to climb up the rock wall.
Zhuang Rui looked at Zhang Guojun and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's the situation in the valley? Is it possible to climb up? If it's possible, there's not much point in us being trapped here..."
"It's not easy to climb. The rock walls on three sides of the valley are quite steep, and they go straight up and down. Most people can't climb up..."
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Guojun continued, "But it's hard to say. If the other party is someone who frequently travels in the mountains, they might be able to get up there..."
Zhang Guojun's guess was correct. Right now, there were two short people in the valley, carrying a bundle of ropes and climbing the rock face. Although their movements were not very fast, they were very steady. If this were in another place, they would definitely be mistaken for international rock climbing masters.
"Damn it, those guys are all monkeys, I doubt this rock wall can hold them..."
Upon hearing Zhang Guojun's words, Peng Fei and Li Zhen became anxious. They had finally managed to gain the upper hand and trap the enemy in the valley. If the enemy were to escape again, both of them would feel like dying.
"Brother Zhang, tell the men to provide suppressive fire, Li Zhen and I will charge in..."
