Chapter 1070: Hello, Female Soldier
Gunshots were heard once again. The man with the tattoo fell back due to the force of the sniper rifle. The bullet penetrated his shoulder. The gun in his hand even flew into the air.
The man fell into the bushes. Then, Ye Jian heard him groaning in pain.
The border guard that was chasing him had already climbed up a tree. He aimed his Type 87 rifle at his front and started searching quickly for the person who fired.
Ye Jian had already kept her sniper rifle and climbed down the tree swiftly.
The man who got shot in the shoulder was struggling in pain among the bushes. Ye Jian had already confirmed that the person chasing him was the scout of the border guards she saw yesterday but she didn’t reveal herself immediately. Instead, she went one round and closed in on the person silently.
Ye Jian remained vigilant as she walked towards the scout. When she reached a distance where the scout was able to hear her, she lowered her voice and said calmly, “I’m on your side.”
…
My side? A female? A female soldier? Why was there a female soldier? A female soldier?
The scout turned quickly and aimed his barrel at the source of the sound. He noticed that the leaves around two meters away from him were swaying slightly but there was no one in sight.
Ye Jian didn’t move closer. She was still observing him. The scout was observing her too. He carefully observed the surroundings and asked in a low voice, “Your unit number.”
“I saw your team yesterday. Your captain has the surname ‘Liu’ and you’re the scout.” After that, Ye Jian reported her unit number. The scout’s suspicion was mostly clear.
He heard the female soldier continuing in a cold and stable voice, “The target you are chasing is wearing a prison uniform. His name is Brother Hong and he is an escaped criminal. He has four people with him. I discovered a few bodies that were killed with bullets in front. All of them have black tattoos on their necks. That is why I suddenly took the shot.”
The two of them started getting nearer. One took care of the front and the right while the other took care of the back and the left. Then, they saw each other.
Ye Jian saluted the scout first. “I’m having my outdoor survival training and coincidentally saw your team chasing Brother Hong and his men. I was afraid you will suspect me unnecessarily so I just left a hint to tell you that Brother Hong has reinforcements. I left that hint beside the roots of a tree. After that, I didn’t leave any more hints.”
“When I was resting at night, I noticed your team walking past me. I slept for the entire night. I didn’t expect you to be still pursuing your target.”
By this time, the scout’s suspicion was entirely cleared. He was familiar with the aura on Ye Jian’s body. It was the cold and stern aura of a soldier.
He saluted back to Ye Jian and took the chance to wipe the sweat flowing down his eyebrows. His skin was slightly tanned as he gave a friendly smile and said, “I see. You’re having your outdoor survival training. However, we didn’t expect you to be a female soldier. Thank you for your help just now. That was a guard that was preparing to send news back secretly. If I don’t catch him, all our arrangements will be wasted…”
He didn’t continue. He knew that Ye Jian understood.
Ye Jian didn’t probe further. Every single unit has its deployment. She didn’t have the right to know it.
She pointed at the moving figure in the bushes. When she opened her mouth again, her voice was filled with killing intent. She said in a soft voice, “Do you plan to kill him directly, or do you plan to bring him back?” In a situation like this, he could kill this person directly to prevent implications.
“Kill him directly. There’s no way I can bring him back.” The scout fired a shot at the struggling figure after he finished speaking. He wasn’t being cruel. It was just something he must do! Being kind to your enemies meant being cruel to your men!
As their enemy, one would naturally choose the option that would benefit them the most.
