Before anyone could react, Gao Bo had already followed the order and rushed out.

No choice.

Gu Ji’s combat rhythm was simply too fast, almost leaving no time to breathe. Even Wu Kang, also part of the special police assault team, couldn’t keep up with his thinking. Only someone like Gao Bo, who had been with Gu Ji for years, could keep pace.

"Gao Bo, keep an eye on the suspicious gunman on the right!"

"Got it!"

In the woods, Gu Ji moved swiftly between tree trunks like a lynx, in a zigzag pattern, keeping his attention to the left. While moving quickly, it was hard to observe meticulously, focusing on one direction allowed better concentration.

After all, there was still a sniper hiding in the woods.

He didn’t want to waste his last "danger warning" chance elsewhere.

"Gu Ji! There seems to be a suspicious tree shadow moving on the right!"

"Take cover!"

Upon hearing Gao Bo’s reminder, Gu Ji immediately stopped in his tracks, slid to a halt under a cypress tree trunk, waited for the target to start retreating, and then dashed out again, "Go!"

Just like that, in two rounds, he dashed to the vicinity of the sniper’s body dressed in a ghillie suit.

The cause of death for both gunmen was a bullet to the head, which was why he dared to charge up with Gao Bo immediately.

It proved enough.

Jingshang Gaoming was not lying, 30 meters, instantly killing two gunmen, although affected by VX agent and motionless, his marksmanship remained superb.

"Gao Bo, keep watch! Pay attention to positions!"

Gu Ji shouted twice in quick succession, grabbed the corpse’s legs, dragged it behind a tree trunk cover, and began scavenging the gunman’s weapons and equipment, including a jungle-camouflaged M4 Big Viper military-police version equipped with a KAC suppressor and reflex sight.

So, it had the "S-1-3" system, which means safety, single fire, and three-round burst selector.

Whereas the ordinary civilian version could only single fire.

He quickly detached the tactical sling, pressed the magazine latch, checked the ammo—over 20 rounds remaining—then reloaded it.

Before Gu Ji could search for more magazines and weapons, Gao Bo exclaimed, "Suspicious tree shadow moving at my 11 o’clock direction!"

"Take the gun!"

With just one shout from Gu Ji, he decisively abandoned looting the corpse.

Stepping forward with his left foot, he quickly crouched down, pressing the gun butt into the outside of his shoulder, adopting a kneeling shooting stance to cover for Gao Bo.

Through the red dot sight, he aimed at Gao Bo’s 11 o’clock direction, indeed spotting a moving blur resembling a tree shadow. It was hard to tell it was a gunman in a ghillie suit without sharp eyes.

He gently squeezed the trigger, firing a three-round burst, landing near the gunman.

The other party immediately took cover.

At this point, Gao Bo also removed the M4 rifle from the corpse, couldn’t help but exclaim, "This is the genuine stuff! Hahaha..."

"Alternate covering positions and wait for Leader Xu to join us. Eliminate threats immediately if encountered!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the order, Gao Bo quickly ran to a tree trunk on Gu Ji’s right side, with the muzzle pointed upwards towards the mountaintop, at the back where Liangben’s henchmen were located.

Soon, Shi Zhengmin brought Chen Zhiyu and others to catch up.

"The body still has a pistol and magazines!"

"Great!"

Shi Zhengmin didn’t waste any words, survival was paramount at this time.

But as soon as he and Wu Kang got the pistols, gunfire rang out—it was Gu Ji’s single shot, successfully hitting the target, "11 o’clock target has been neutralized!"

"Gu Ji, something’s happening on the mountaintop!"

"Liangben gunmen are descending!"

Chen Zhiyu and Gao Bo said in succession.

Gao Bo hastily raised his gun, instinctively aiming at the gunman’s thigh, but remembering Gu Ji’s order, he raised it a few centimeters, aligning the red dot with the chest.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger.

Two bullets whizzed by, one hitting the trunk in front of Wu Kang, the other, with a thud, striking Lang Shaobo who was hiding behind the bush.

"Ah! I’ve been shot, I’m going to die, I’m going to die..."

"Mrs. Qiu, check the injury! Gao Bo, Wu Kang, Leader Xu, keep an eye on the sniper!"

Hearing Lang Shaobo’s piercing scream, Gu Ji quickly signaled to Gao Bo, and they swiftly adjusted their gun positions. The red dot sight depicted the figure of a short-haired female gunman.

This was the reason he previously instructed Gao Bo to cover the front and back.

Because once the ghillie-suited gunman was killed, the armed group commander would definitely inform Abe Shigehide, inevitably dispatching more gunmen as reinforcements.

"Lang Shaobo is fine, just a bullet graze on the shoulder."

"Prepare to exchange cover, in column formation, retreat towards the northwest, watch out for the sniper!"

Gu Ji fired a few suppressive shots to temporarily hold down the gunmen coming down the slope, then quickly tapped Gao Bo’s back, "Go!"

Gao Bo immediately signaled Shi Zhengmin, who then tapped Wu Kang.

The three simultaneously rose, standing in a row, with muzzles pointed in different directions: left, center, and right, alternating fire, covering the team’s rapid movement towards the slope’s left side.

At the back of the squad, Gu Ji stood back-to-back with Jingshang.

Holding the gun with his right arm braced against his shoulder, leaving the left hand free, always sticking to his lower back.

This was a type of tactical column formation for the special police squad.

The tail member needs to always face backwards, especially when pursued by enemies. By maintaining hand contact, they could gauge the team’s pace without having to look back, adjusting their steps and rhythm.

"We’re not afraid~"

"Kill! Avenge our brother!!"

There were only five ghillie-suited gunmen, three of whom were killed by Jingshang Gaoming and Gu Ji. The remaining two were utterly outmatched by nearly a hundred gang members and could do nothing but keep retreating.
