Chapter 2032: Approaching
“Capture him alive.” Pigeon’s voice was very soft but clear. “Interrogate him properly.”
“Roger that.” Weaver, who already had an idea, replied in a low voice. He waved for Azalea behind him to come over. After making a few hand gestures, Azalea, who understood what he meant, nodded gently and slowly squatted down below the cabin door.
Since he couldn’t force his way in, he had to let the person inside open the door.
Weaver made a bold decision and raised his rifle to knock on the cabin door.
Ye Jian had already placed her finger on the trigger when she heard the sound. If anything happened, she would quickly pull the trigger of the silencer.
At the tail of the plane, Whit Crane was half-squatting. He focused his attention to ensure the safety of Weaver and Azalea.
The knocking sound could be heard clearly in the quiet night. It echoed continuously, causing the person sleeping inside to open his eyes and look outside.
It was dark outside, and there was nothing unusual.
The pilot with the deep-set features and dark skin touched his pocket. Very warily, he took out a pistol. With his other hand, he picked up a flashlight and switched on the light source, s.h.i.+ning it out of the hatch.
Sparrowhawk, who was paying close attention to the cabin’s movements, reminded him, “Be careful of the gun in his hand.”
Right at this moment, Ye Jian and White Crane noticed a strange sound at the same time. They shouted at the same time, “Someone’s here! Retreat!”
The two rolled a few times and hid behind the dense leaves. The Xueyu unit members who were on guard had also found their hiding spots.
Ye Jian aimed at a spot ten meters away from her and reported in a low voice, “Six people. Two of them are holding guns. Two of them have their hands tied and their heads are covered…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Jian narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately adjusted her focus to observe.
What she saw while wearing night-vision goggles was just a monotonous green color. Ye Jian stared at the two people who were being subdued through the goggles. She pressed her lips together and asked again, “Are the two people who are being subdued… our engineers?”
Our engineers?
Ye Jian’s words shocked Pigeon and the rest who couldn’t see the targets for the time being. It would be great if those people were the hijacked engineers!
“All 12 of the hijacked engineers should be wearing the same work uniform. Look at their uniforms.” Pigeon shuffled her feet, carefully approaching the nearest concealed spot near the helicopter. “If they’re our engineers, we’re going to take action immediately.”
The ten members of the Xueyu unit quickly got ready.
“It’s the same uniform,” Ye Jian replied. Then, White Crane added, “Same shoes. Whether they’re our engineers or not, we’ll settle the six surrounding them first!”
Weaver, who was closest to the helicopter, and Azalea saw the rather vigilant helicopter pilot turn around. The two of them looked at each other and moved their feet lightly, pulling themselves closer to the helicopter.
The rather vigilant pilot had already seen a light flicker in front of him. He simply turned off the flashlight in his hand and waited for the figures ahead to approach.
“He’s quite alert. Let’s wait for him to fully open the cabin door before we take action.” With a cold glint in his eyes, Weaver crept forward until he reached a low area that was covered in moss and could only hide one person.
