Chapter 2056: Answer If You Hear Me
His voice was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating. Every word reached her ears. Ye Jian was thinking about him.
…
Ye Jian, who was so tense with her cheeks pressed against the ground, was suddenly stunned. She actually heard Captain Xia’s voice from the deafening gunshots. She must be so shocked by the sound of the bullets that she was hallucinating!
A deep voice came from the earpiece. “Azure Bird, answer if you hear me.”
It was high-frequency shooting. They were worried about Azure Bird.
Ye Jian, who thought that she was hallucinating, adjusted her mentality. She smiled and said, “I’m still alive. I’m fine. The bullets are all aimed at the sky. Only the stray bullets are brus.h.i.+ng past.”
After the faint smile, she, who was listening carefully to the gunshots, gradually pursed her lips. Her expression turned serious as she said, “I suspect that they want to capture us alive. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be blindly shooting the bullets upward. Pigeon, how’s the situation on your side?”
At this time, there were usually only two means for an aerial a.s.sault. One was intimidation; the other was encirclement.
Ye Jian preferred the second method.
They were not afraid of being surrounded. They were close to the beach and could retreat to the beach while suppressing the enemy with firepower. They were mainly worried about Pigeon and the six engineers who had not left.
“We’re fine.” Pigeon, who had been listening to the conversation between Ye Jian and the other two, replied, “Steady your firepower. You don’t have to fight with them. We’re close to the sea now. Once Blood Swallow drives the a.s.sault boat over, we’ll leave immediately.”
Ye Jian felt much more at ease. As long as they sent the engineering team back first, everything would be settled.
The two a.s.sault boats they had taken from the sightseeing island were too noisy. They did not sail directly into the beach that was convenient to anchor. Instead, they approached the highest cliff on the island. The ten of them swam ash.o.r.e from the beach.
According to the plan, after the rescue was successful, the team members would return to the cliff to sail the a.s.sault boats over and leave with the engineering team.
Right now, Ye Jian, White Crane, and Azalea were too far away. If they let Pigeon and the others sail over to rescue them, the engineers on the boat would lose a layer of protection. If anything happened, they would be in danger.
That was why Ye Jian suggested s.n.a.t.c.hing the speedboat. The three of them would s.n.a.t.c.h the speedboat from here and leave. They wouldn’t have to inconvenience Pigeon and the others anymore. They just had to protect the engineers and leave.
Ye Jian’s timely answer made all her comrades feel at ease.
Azalea, who was subdued to the high-frequency shooting, covered his arm that was scratched by the stray bullets and said in a low voice, “It’s good that you’re fine. The other party’s firepower is too strong. If we keep being suppressed by them like this, we might really be captured alive.:
“No matter how big the submachine gun’s magazine is, it can’t sweep through the area like a machine gun. Even if they take turns firing, they’ll still need to replace the magazine when it’s weak!”
Ye Jian, who had yet to cut off contact with Pigeon, looked at a tree with a bent trunk. A cold glint flashed across her dark eyes as she locked onto a certain spot. She said softly, “30 rounds of ammunition capacity. After 30 rounds, you have to change the magazine. White Crane, Azalea, cover for me. I’ll go to the sniper position and kill one first.”
At this moment, killing one meant losing one submachine gun!
The inverted triangle battle just now made it too close to the group of guys who were using high-frequency shooting to intimidate them. It was not convenient for them to move quickly. Only Ye Jian, who was a little farther away, could do it.
White Crane and Azalea, who were too close, were already covered in bark and leaves cut off by bullets. Hearing this, they replied at the same time, “No problem.”
