Chapter 392: Taking down the abandoned factory; the injured report and summarize.

Alpha led the Pioneering Group and quickly arrived near the first faction.

This was an abandoned factory.

The factory was built on a hillside. According to available intelligence, there were roughly seventy to eighty Thugs here.

When they were still about a kilometer away, everyone in the Pioneering Group hid their vehicles, took necessary ammunition, and began creeping towards the factory.

Shadow took his scout squad forward to reconnoiter.

The others, led by Alpha, used the cover of mountain trees and thickets to inch closer.

The sky was now completely dark.

All their movements were concealed.

Finally, the main force stopped when they were about 200 meters from the factory.

Shadow, however, had already marked the positions of two sentries.

Eagle Eye, along with two apprentice snipers, began searching for sniper positions to lock onto their targets.

"Number Two locked onto target on the right side roof of the factory."

"Number Three locked onto target on the left side roof of the factory."

As the two sentries were locked on, Shadow sent another message.

[Shadow: Attention, this person appears to be a machine gun firepower sentry! Also, there seems to be another person behind the corrugated iron wall.]

[Eagle Eye: Received!]

As Eagle Eye locked onto the third sentry.

Shadow had already marked out a safe path.

Rock led the fire assault squad, creeping towards the position of the factory's main gate.

Trap and Roar crept in another direction.

Based on observation, the entrances and exits of the factory were heavily guarded. There were not only vehicles used as barricades but also cheval de frise and sandbags. That exit position was also perfectly covered by overlapping fire from the two factory buildings on the left and right.

Entering from there carried too much risk.

Rock's squad's role was to draw the enemy's first wave of fire.

Trap and Roar's target was the wall on the right side of the factory.

That spot happened to be behind the right-side building. As long as the sniper squad eliminated the sentries.

The Pioneering Group could directly enter the factory from behind the right building, allowing them to quickly suppress and clear out the enemies inside.

Everyone was soon in position.

Alpha made one final confirmation of everyone's positions.

Then issued a cold command into his headset.

"Attention, everyone. Use Eagle Eye's squad's attack as the signal to begin the operation."

"Received!"

....

Bang! Bang! Bang!—

With three gunshots, three flashes of gunfire lit up the pitch-black dense forest.

Three Thugs on guard duty had blood flowers blooming on their foreheads as they fell backward.

Instant death.

However, the moment Eagle Eye pulled the trigger, he didn't look at the result. Instead, he worked the bolt to chamber the next round with the fastest possible speed.

But this time, his target was locked onto the gap in the factory's corrugated iron wall.

He could clearly see a blurry figure squatting down rapidly the moment it heard the gunshots, then raising its gun to return fire.

And at that very moment,

Bang!—

Eagle Eye pulled the trigger again.

The sniper rifle in his hands wasn't an ordinary firearm; it was the Rare-tier sniper rifle Yu Yuan had previously found at the Mountain Stone Shelter.

Its Rare effect was: Armor-Piercing +2, Armor-Piercing bullet penetration effect +80%.

And Eagle Eye had brought nothing but armor-piercing rounds this time. The bullet directly pierced through the corrugated iron wall, blasting a large hole in the chest of the enemy behind the wall.

[Eagle Eye: Kill confirmed, relocating position now]

The entire process took less than two seconds.

And just as Eagle Eye's squad initiated their attack.

Rock's squad, which had long since flanked around to the factory's main gate, also began suppressing fire on the abandoned factory.

Rat-a-tat-tat—

The light machine gun in Rock's hands was also an Excellent quality weapon given to him by Yu Yuan.

7.62mm×54 caliber bullets poured out like a storm, firing at the few Thugs guarding the main gate.

Caught completely off guard.

In the blink of an eye, several Thugs were riddled with holes amidst a series of "thump, thump, thump" sounds.

The two Soldiers behind Rock also seized the moment to raise their RPGs, aimed at the two buildings inside the abandoned factory, and pulled the triggers.

Whoosh— Whoosh—

The tail flames were incredibly conspicuous in the dark environment.

The rockets directly passed through the windows and exploded inside the factory.

Shouts and screams from inside the factory merged into a chaotic cacophony.

Enemies near the factory's main gate also quickly rushed over to support, attacking Rock's squad.

Right at that moment, accompanied by two explosive blasts, the wall on the right side of the factory was successfully breached by Trap and Roar.

Members of the Pioneering Group immediately entered and, following Alpha's command, moved swiftly into action.

For a moment, the Thugs in this abandoned factory felt as if the sky had fallen.

They felt attacks were coming from everywhere.

"Damn it, where did these lunatics come from, why are there even rockets......"

A bald man, about 1.6 meters tall and weighing over 200 pounds, was firing a machine gun towards the direction of the factory's main gate. The powerful recoil made the fat on his face tremble incessantly.

Rat-a-tat-tat—

The machine gun roared, bullets flew wildly.

Rock, hiding behind a piece of cover, listened to the sound of the machine gun, his eyes lighting up.

"PKP, good stuff!"

Bang!—

Eagle Eye struck again, and the machine gun fire stopped.

Other Thugs also fell one after another under the Pioneering Group's attack.

Exclamations of shock came from inside the factory.

"The boss has been shot dead!"

"What?" The Thugs couldn't believe it.

Then, a cold voice, overpowering all the gunfire, spread throughout the factory.

"Surrender and you won't be killed! Those lying on the ground with hands on their heads won't be killed!"

Outside the factory, Alpha held a bullhorn and continued speaking indifferently:

"I repeat, surrender and you won't be killed, those lying on the ground with hands on their heads won't be killed!"

"Surrender and live!"

Everyone in the Pioneering Group shouted in unison.

"Bullshit, those who surrender only die....." a leader hiding behind a wall shouted hoarsely.

But before he could finish his sentence.

Bang!—

A bullet had already pierced through the corrugated iron wall, blowing his head apart.

Seeing this, the remaining Thugs were immediately scared out of their wits.

"Brother Ma is dead too, I surrender..... I surrender....." a Thug immediately threw his weapon on the ground.

He lay face down on the ground, hands clasped behind his head, shouting repeatedly: "I surrender, don't kill me!"

With the first Thug surrendering.

The remaining people immediately followed suit.

"We surrender...... we surrender......"

"Surrender....."

——————

By the time Alpha walked through the smoke and entered the abandoned factory, the surrendering Thugs had all been restrained with zip ties, lying face down on the ground with hands behind their heads.

All members of the Pioneering Group had entered and occupied the factory.

Eagle Eye and Rock quickly established sniper points and fire coverage points.

Trap and Roar led people to administer finishing shots to all fallen enemies.

Cub led people responsible for guarding the prisoners, while Shadow and Hyena quickly searched the entire factory area.

"Alpha, prisoner count 41, 38 killed. Confirmed that the factory's boss and second-in-command have both been killed. No one escaped."

"No casualties among our personnel, only one minor forearm graze......"

"Good! The injured member will return to give a summary report."

"Also, give everyone half an hour. Secure all prisoners here on-site. Only take the collected high-value materials: blueprints, intelligence, maps, advanced weapons and equipment. Leave other survival supplies untouched."

"In half an hour, everyone sets off for the next stronghold."

Alpha's uncompromising voice instantly reached everyone's ears.

"Eagle Eye squad received!"

"Shadow squad received!"

"Rock squad received!"

......

Listening to the replies in his headset, Alpha's gaze turned towards the direction of Dead Mine Town.

Having experienced a major battle, the Pioneering Group had begun to bare its fangs.

But tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and this was only the beginning.

There..... was the real battlefield!
