Chapter 2037: Sneak Attack

A seabird swept across the sky above the island, leaving behind a string of startled cries that disappeared in the blink of an eye. The wind blew the leaves, and someone walked past without rustling a single leaf. He approached the container-modified house like a ghost.

From the words of the two engineers who had been rescued, he learned that they were held in a basement where the sound of waves could be heard. They were later escorted out, and they felt as if they were walking through a corridor before being led up the stairs.

After another four or five meters or so, they heard a creaking sound above them. They were pushed up an iron ladder that was about two meters high. When they climbed out, they smelled fresh air.

Then, they were pushed down an iron ladder that was about two meters high. Only then did they really step on solid ground.

Several points can be drawn from the engineers’ words. First: The basement where they were held was under these containers;

Secondly, the containers in front of them were all six meters long, two and a half meters wide, and two and a half meters tall. The data provided by the engineers showed that they had passed through a one-story container.

If it had been a two-story container, they wouldn’t have been able to smell the fresh air just by climbing about two meters up an iron ladder from the basement. They would have had to climb four feet to smell fresh air.

Thirdly, they should focus on finding individual containers with exits open at the top and ladders.

According to these points, the ten soldiers were divided into two groups. Group B had Ye Jian, White Crane, and the others who were in charge of clearing the patrolling targets and guarding the area. Group A’s responsibility was to approach the single-story containers to clear the targets while finding the exact location of the engineers.

Ye Jian and White Crane were in charge of the single-story container a distance away. Ye Jian put her rifle on her back and didn’t pull out her dagger like White Crane. Instead, she revealed the silver wire that had been used as jewelry recently.

It had been a long time since she had let it out for a breather. Tonight, she would let it have its fun.

As the silver wire stretched and straightened, it flashed an extremely clear cold light, causing White Crane to glance sideways. Ye Jian had something in her hand?

“I’ll go up, you go sideways.” Ye Jian pointed up, then to the side. With her night-vision goggles on, Ye Jian communicated with White Crane in sign language. “Two against three, okay?”

Less than three meters away from the two of them, three armed men were walking back and forth on the container. These were the targets Ye Jian and White Crane needed to deal with.

White Crane pointed at Ye Jian and showed two fingers. “You’ll take care of the two above? I take on the one on my side?”

“Yes.” Ye Jian nodded. Then, she pulled the silver wire in her hand. “I have this. It’s easy for me to handle two of them.”

What was that?

White Crane’s eyes widened. All he could see through his night-vision goggles was something as long as a thin thread.

It definitely wasn’t a thread. A thread couldn’t emit cold light.

That was Ye Jian’s secret weapon.

On the battlefield, the ones with the strongest beliefs were always their comrades. White Crane did not question Ye Jian and just nodded in agreement.

The silver wire was a better combat weapon than a combat dagger. As Ye Jian’s strength increased, the invisible lethality of the silver wire could be easily displayed.

It wrapped silently around the neck of one of the targets. Before the man realized what was happening, something cold tightened around his neck in an instant. The force of the tightening caused him to panic. Holding the gun, he flailed around and tried to pull the thing that was strangling him.

The other two men realized that their companion was acting strangely. They picked up their guns very warily and gently pulled the triggers. One of the men asked, “Hey, what’s wrong with you?”
