Chapter 3, Survival in the Dense Forest (2)

Ah...! Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed through the forest. As the man with the eyes, Hawkins, hurried to catch up with the captive and prepare to subdue her, he was attacked by a transparent shadow lurking in the woods. All that remained in his place was a pool of steaming blood, and then the body was dragged away by the shadow, disappearing from sight.

The small-time thug Wang Naiduo, with a face full of resentment, hid to the side, clutching an AK and constantly searching for Zhang Zhongyi and his companions. He sought revenge, especially against the one who had cut off his finger. However, his eyes, filled with chaos like a headless fly, failed to catch even a glimpse of Zhang Zhongyi. "Puff puff..." After a burst of bullets took down a guerrilla who had run into his line of fire, a bloodthirsty madness gleamed in his eyes, and he excitedly thought: in this world, he could kill whoever he wanted, and it felt absolutely exhilarating

After destroying the guerrilla stronghold, everyone quickly prepared to evacuate, as the noise and smoke from the explosion would attract nearby guerrillas. Major Dachi captured Anna, a female guerrilla fighter, just like in a movie scene

The team was traversing through the jungle when suddenly Billy stopped, his expression alert as he observed the distant forest. He had an extremely ominous feeling, as if some carnivorous animal was watching him as its prey. Zhang Min and the other members of the reincarnation team who were aware of the plot felt a surge of tension! The chubby man muttered quietly, "Are they here?" Zhang Min nodded in acknowledgment.

The members of Team Dachi quickly converged on the scene of the incident. Holding a multi-barreled machine gun, Brian was continuously searching when he suddenly noticed movement in the leaves ahead. He cautiously approached, having disengaged the safety on his weapon, only to discover it was a hedgehog. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief from the false alarm. Suddenly, a heavy, unknown blow struck the side of his face, causing blood to splatter. Following that, a blue plasma shot through the dense forest, hitting his back. "Puff!" The ion bullet that penetrated his body incinerated and evaporated most of his chest cavity, causing his internal organs and red blood to explode out in a burst of high-temperature fragments.

There is no luck, no exceptions; here one can only struggle painfully, constantly fleeing for survival, governed by the law of the jungle

What is wrong with you all ... ... ! Do you want me to be erased along with you ! '' Looking at Jiang Fatty's furious expression, Tang Tian thought: `` Does this fat fool not know to check the watch for the task ? Is he so foolish that he thinks everyone else is a fool too ? The latest task has already lifted the distance restriction with Major Daqi. What do these bureaucrats in the library do besides deceiving others ... ... Is their mind filled with lard ? '' The latest task has already lifted the distance restriction with Major Daqi. What do these bureaucrats in the library do besides deceiving others ... ... Is their mind filled with lard ? ''

The frantic sound of machine gun fire, the explosions of grenades and explosives, interspersed with gunfire, blasts, blood, and destruction—this is the battlefield of men. Team Dachi is executing a textbook-style classic special forces ambush tactic, with highly efficient slaughter akin to a sharp dagger; when it slices through your neck, you are still in a daze, but two seconds later, you realize you are beyond saving

Zhang Zhongyi turned back and quietly said to the other newcomers: "This time, do not attempt to save anyone; as long as you do not disperse, everything will be fine". After the noise subsided, the team was basically gathered together, consisting of typists, students, a deputy director, a cement worker, and an all-rounder. This team lacked any strong professions; at most, there was a chubby deputy director to lead the newcomers, and a half-baked all-rounder to offer some ideas. The others had even lost their own guns and were completely a burden.

The others had even lost their own guns and were completely a burden.

At 3:26 PM, the entire team had been marching for nearly 2 hours towards the helicopter pickup point after leaving the destroyed guerrilla camp. Having just eliminated a guerrilla camp, the entire team was somewhat fatigued from the continuous march.

Listening to Tang Tian's humorous remarks, the student Qian Yong said: "Brother Tang, I have seen Predator as well. Its cannon can blow a person apart in an instant. If we get hit by one shot, we are doomed. Do you really think we can escape?"

The crowd followed the footprints forward and finally arrived at the outskirts of the guerrilla camp. The Dachi team leaned against a section of discarded wood, discussing their attack plan. Zhang Zhongyi, along with several team members including Zhang Min, also lay in ambush nearby. Notably, apart from Zhang Zhongyi and Zhao Tian, the other team members were draped in camouflage nets covered with fallen leaves, and their faces were painted in a colorful and bizarre manner that made them look quite strange.

At this moment, Major Arno extended his right hand, raising his index finger while clenching the other fingers into a fist, and shook it a few times in the air. The operation had begun! The other team members started to crawl to their designated positions to begin their assignments, as they were about to launch an assault on the guerrilla camp. First, on the hillside, a guerrilla member with a red cloth tied around his head was smoking. Suddenly, it seemed as if the trees behind him came to life; one hand covered his mouth while the other produced a dagger, swiftly cutting his throat! Then, his body was dragged into the forest.

In the midst of chaos, three enemies indiscriminately fired towards the area where leaves were falling. In this moment of crossfire, one enemy was killed and another severely injured. However, Wang Naiduo was struck by two bullets that randomly swept through, resulting in his skull being shattered and brain matter splattered everywhere, with a very fine spider silk behind his head. At that moment, the sound of AK fire rang out again, and two more enemies were killed, only to see Zhao Tian slowly revealing his head from behind a tree, breaking a strand of spider silk from his wrist, and letting a camouflage net fall to cover the bodies.

Tang Tian, in a displeased tone, said to Qian Yongdao: "Aren't you good at learning? How come your brain is so ineffective? If such a large red dot from an infrared beam shines on you, can't you see it? Once you spot the red light or red spots, without a second thought, just drop to the ground and roll away, then immediately run in an S-shape. If you're lucky, even if it's a sniper, they won't be able to do anything to you.

Tang Tian solemnly adjusted his expression and said: "Pay attention to what I am about to say; the following methods are crucial for saving your life. You must lower your upper body’s center of gravity, slightly tuck your neck down, and bend your back a little to bring your body closer to the ground. As soon as you hear any movement, drop to the ground and roll. This way, no matter where the bullets come from, they won't hit you. There are no technical skills required; just constantly remind yourself that your life comes first, and pain comes second. If you do this, everything will be fine."

As Zhang Min passed by the campsite, he heard the eyepatch man Huo Gan telling Billy a yellow joke: "Once, I told my girlfriend that her genitalia was very large, very large. She asked me why I said it twice. I didn't say it twice; it's just that hers was so big it echoed... Hahahahaha!" After a moment of silence, Billy, the reserved Indian, finally burst into a raucous laugh.

Tang Tianluo was chatting with a few newcomers as they walked, when suddenly a commotion erupted ahead. Jiang Pangzi looked at the distance between himself and Major Daqi, feeling anxious, and shouted: "Everyone, hurry up and catch up..."

Jiang Pangzi pondered and suddenly thought of phrases like "burning the bridge after crossing it" and "putting on small shoes for Tang Tian"

The typist Liu Yan, who was lagging behind the team, quietly tugged at Zhang Min and said, "Brother Tang, are we going to die?" At the same time, Qian Yong, Guan Zhizhong, and a few others looked at Zhang Min with faces full of distress, as if they were trying to grasp the last lifeline.

A loud gunfire, fierce as a storm, echoed from a distance. Zhang Min recognized it as the sound of the Minigun used by the burly man, Brian. The explosions rang continuously in people's ears. The newcomers, like snipers, hid on the periphery, stealthily firing their shots. The high school students, Qian Yong and Jiang Pangzi, felt a surge of excitement upon hearing that there was a reward for killing, while Guan Zhizhong and Liu Yan, clutching their weapons, quietly hid motionless to the side, their hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

Zhang Min was momentarily taken aback; it was only after a glance that he realized the other party was calling him. "Zhang Min is dead; now it is Tang Tian, it is Tang Tian. From today onwards, Zhang Min is Tang Tian, and there is no longer a person named Zhang Min. Tang Tian, I am Tang Tian...!" Zhang Min reminded himself internally, while also realizing that he had not yet fully immersed himself in the role.

Just as the tough guy Braine, who fought against the multi-barreled machine gun, said: I do not have time to bleed! Bleeding on the battlefield is also a luxury; at least it proves that you are still alive, while many others have lost their lives.

The battle ended in less than half an hour, with the Reincarnation Team achieving victory at the cost of one of their own. There were no tears on the battlefield; the underlying truth was that it was either you die or I die.

However, Jiang, feeling quite annoyed, noticed that Tang Tian seemed to have not heard his words and continued to search ahead at a leisurely pace. These burdensome individuals, even with his own weight, had managed to move ahead. If it weren't for the fact that they could still serve as cannon fodder, he would have long since left them behind. He was in front, suppressing his anger, preparing to educate these people properly when they caught up: they must obey their superiors.

Tang Tian coldly said to Jiang Pangzi: "If you want to die, go ahead; no one will care about you. If you don't understand the game mechanics and tasks, don't shout aimlessly. If you want me to take the fall and be the cannon fodder, let me tell you, it's not going to happen..."

Moreover, the thought of the Predator using thermal radiation detection to capture this scorpion gives Zhang Min a sense of tension. The image of the Predator is fierce and brutal, yet it adheres to a very strict moral code that is difficult to comprehend

The car that was moved by Dachi crashed into the guerrilla's mess hall, "Boom!" The bomb on the vehicle ignited the signal for the surprise attack. Several newcomers, trembling, threw grenades, further throwing the enemy camp into chaos

Puff puff ... ... and * picture * book ! '' Zhang Min, draped in camouflage netting, hid on the periphery to shoot at enemies. After killing two foes, Zhang Min cautiously glanced at his watch and discovered that he had earned thirty reward points. The acquisition of rewards did not bring Zhang Min any joy; the technological weaponry did not result in bloody decapitations or dismemberments. Instead, the AK merely vibrated slightly, and the person across from him collapsed to the ground as if struck by a heavy blow.

Cough, cough! Tang Tian cleared his throat to dispel the awkwardness and said: "To be honest, I don't know whether we will live or die in the next moment. However, we must unite. For those of us who lack combat capability, if we do not work together, we will definitely not survive. Did you see how those special forces advance? They search and move forward without any blind spots in all directions. Remember, we must not scatter; otherwise, if we do, it will be disastrous. Also, keep in mind the stimulant injections in your hands; do not hesitate to use them. I shouldn't have to remind you which is more important: addiction or your life. And if you don't know how to inject, just stick it in your own butt." A few of them revealed bitter smiles upon hearing this.

Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, Daqi's squad charged out, initiating a one-sided massacre. With fierce firepower, precise shooting, and agile maneuvers, the guerrillas were unable to organize any effective resistance and were left disoriented by the assault tactics and overwhelming firepower of these special forces.

Zhang Min and several newcomers, their hands slick with sweat, gripped the AKs tightly. While at the base, the newcomers had spent half an hour at the shooting range under the guidance of the plump director, using the excuse of familiarizing themselves with the weapons. Even if the sharpening of the gun was not swift, it still shone. At the very least, the newcomers had learned to shoot and throw grenades.

Although Zhang Min claims to be a military enthusiast, he has never handled a gun and never considered that the recoil of an AK would be so strong. During his first use, he was unable to control it, but fortunately, he managed to get through it.

As he was continuously aiming at the three enemies running towards him, a strand of white spider silk quietly fell onto the camouflage net. Closer, closer! Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the camouflage net on his body was suddenly lifted.

Zhang Min silently watched and thought to himself: "... laugh, laugh! Take this opportunity to laugh a little longer, soon you will be laughing at your own peeled skull held by that thing."

As the Dachi team advanced with the prisoner in custody, they were taken by surprise when the prisoner suddenly attacked the team members guarding him, injuring them and making an escape. The prisoner's flight caused a stir among the Dachi team, prompting the members to quickly disperse in pursuit of the fugitive

Zhang Min and several newcomers emerged from the nearby jungle to regroup. As they passed by Daqi's team, Xiao Hei Maike stabbed a scorpion with a knife and crushed it underfoot, having taken it from another Black man named Dilon. When Zhang Min walked by, he casually collected the scorpion's corpse, perhaps to utilize the venom it contained. Zhang Min had always found this scorpion scene peculiar when he watched the film before; why would there be a scorpion in the jungle? It did not accidentally crawl onto a person's back. Scorpions are more commonly found in deserts, while leeches or spiders should be more prevalent in jungles.

Resolving a situation, Dylan was observing through binoculars and narrating to everyone. Meanwhile, Mike had reached a small machine gun position made of sandbags. He drew his dagger, pressed his back against the sandbags, and imitated a bird's call to whistle softly, just loud enough for an enemy to hear. A guerrilla with a white cloth tied around his head peeked out to see what was happening, only to have Mike cover his mouth with one hand and stab him in the heart with the other. Without pulling out the dagger, he supported the body with his hand, gently pulled it down, and laid it on the ground. Then, Major Arno infiltrated the guerrilla camp alone and approached a vehicle with a wheel that was idling. He made a gesture, extending his palm with fingers spread wide. Everyone immediately took cover! Major Arno then slowly walked to the front of the vehicle and placed explosives on the rear part of the vehicle before lifting it up

Upon hearing what Tang Tian said, Jiang Pangzi became alert. Just now, he had indeed been a bit tense and not very composed. A cold sweat ran down his back as he thought to himself: This kid is now a lifeline, I cannot afford to offend him. Damn it! Is it just because he read a few more books and watched a few more movies!

What frustrated these special forces members the most was that the so-called rookies in Zhang Zhongyi's words had colorful soda bottles tied to the muzzles of their AK47s, which were clearly intended to serve as silencers for their illegal firearms. At that moment, Daqi turned to Zhang Zhongyi and whispered, "Now I believe you are jungle warfare experts; their camouflage is quite unique. I believe even I would not be able to spot them in a vast forest."

Zhang Min realized that this Billy was laughing not so much at the joke as at the guerrilla camp filled with corpses, and there was a sense of bloodthirsty satisfaction in his laughter
