Who Is He (Part 2)

Jiang Yan Hai moved quickly. Although he carried the heaviest load in the entire Fourth Company, his formidable Physical Fitness supported him as he advanced at a terrifying speed.

"Jiang Yan Hai, slow down a little." Gong Jian's voice came through the earpiece.

"Instructor, I'll scout ahead for you, in case there are still people from the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade around," Jiang Yan Hai said quickly.

"Alright. Be careful. Report immediately if anything happens. We'll be right behind you."

Jiang Yan Hai acknowledged, and his figure soon vanished from his comrades' sight.

In reality, Li Er Niu had not carried Master Kang very far. After all, he was carrying a person, and Li Er Niu's Physical Fitness was not particularly good either.

Thus, after about half an hour, Jiang Yan Hai spotted Li Er Niu and Master Kang in the forest. The two were resting.

"Instructor, I've found the regimental commander and the others," Jiang Yan Hai reported quietly through his individual communications device.

"What direction?" the instructor's voice sounded over the comm channel.

"East-northeast. At your current speed, you should reach them in about half an hour," Jiang Yan Hai immediately replied.

The instructor and the others were searching, so they moved slowly. Jiang Yan Hai, on the other hand, had gone full speed straight toward the target. Naturally, the two were not comparable.

"Understood."

After cutting off communications, Jiang Yan Hai did not alert Regimental Commander Kang or Li Er Niu. Mainly because he was afraid that Li Er Niu might have another brain freeze and jump down while carrying the regimental commander.

He was alone. There was no way he could hold back both of them.

So Jiang Yan Hai first circled around to get ahead of them, then used the Coffin Board Skill to block their line of sight as he silently approached.

It had to be said that the Coffin Board Skill's characteristics could really be applied in many ways. Moreover, the more he used it, the faster it seemed to synchronize with Jiang Yan Hai.

By now, he was practically turning all that data into instinct. Before long, perhaps the Coffin Board Skill would truly become one with him?

Even after Jiang Yan Hai closed to within four or five meters of them, neither man noticed him.

Only then did Jiang Yan Hai step out from behind a tree. The moment he moved, he immediately startled the two of them.

Seeing someone emerge from behind the tree, Li Er Niu did not even think. He let out a loud "Ah!" and lunged straight at Jiang Yan Hai.

Fuck! Jiang Yan Hai cursed inwardly. Come on, Er Niu, could you use your brain for once?

Though he complained internally, Jiang Yan Hai was not slow. His fighting ability might not have been enhanced by the auxiliary engine like his shooting ability was.

But with his powerful Physical Fitness and extraordinary Neural Reaction, the instant Li Er Niu lunged at him, Jiang Yan Hai sidestepped, kicked out, swept Li Er Niu off his feet, and instantly pinned the sniper rifle in his hands behind Li Er Niu's back. "Er Niu, don't move. It's me, Jiang Yan Hai."

"Ah?... Oh..." Only then did Li Er Niu react.

Once he saw that Li Er Niu had recognized him, Jiang Yan Hai released him. He then turned, stood at attention, and saluted. "Reporting, Regimental Commander. Private Jiang Yan Hai of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company reporting for duty."

"Good, good, good! Not bad. You're Jiang Yan Hai?" Master Kang was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He nodded approvingly and asked.

"Yes, Regimental Commander. I am Jiang Yan Hai." Jiang Yan Hai nodded.

"Not bad! A fine soldier. By the way, since you're here, does that mean the Sharpshooter Fourth Company is here too?" Master Kang had recovered as well.

"Yes. They're behind me." Jiang Yan Hai nodded.

"Let's go. We'll rendezvous with them." Master Kang... no, Regimental Commander Kang immediately rose to his feet.

"Regimental Commander, the instructor and the others are heading this way..." Jiang Yan Hai had just started to say something when the sound of police dogs came from the distance.

Judging by the time, it was about right. Gong Jian and Sixth Company were not far from here to begin with—less than half an hour away. Once they had confirmed the target and picked up their pace, the time would naturally be shortened.

What was more, Jiang Yan Hai had spent quite a bit of time circling around and sneaking up on them just now. They should have arrived by now.

Sure enough, after waiting a few more minutes, Gong Jian and the others arrived. "Regimental Commander, are you alright?" Gong Jian immediately asked.

"I'm fine. Just a broken hand bone and at least two broken ribs." Regimental Commander Kang stood straight and snorted before speaking.

Gong Jian was just about to say something when the sound of aircraft engines came from overhead. There was no need to guess—it had to be a drone from the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade.

When Jiang Yan Hai had been advancing at high speed earlier, he had continuously heard the drone circling overhead.

"Tch! Showing off their advanced equipment, are they? They even dared to use a decapitation tactic on me. My head isn't so easy to take." Regimental Commander Kang glanced at the drone in the sky through a gap in the trees and could not help grumbling.

"Regimental Commander, forget about them. Let's withdraw. There's nothing we can do to them right now." Gong Jian sounded somewhat helpless.

"Um, Regimental Commander, Instructor, there's a cliffside clearing not far ahead. If you can help draw its attention, I can take out their eyes." Jiang Yan Hai could not help speaking up. This was what he had wanted to say earlier.

"You? Shoot down a drone?" Regimental Commander Kang's expression turned strange as he glanced at Jiang Yan Hai, though he had already recognized the Type 10 Rifle in Jiang Yan Hai's hands.

"Uh, Jiang Yan Hai, are you sure about this?" Gong Jian could not help lowering his voice.

This was only because it was Jiang Yan Hai. During the recent training, Jiang Yan Hai's shooting had given him far too many shocks. If it had been anyone else, he would probably have chewed them out on the spot.

"Reporting to Regimental Commander and Instructor, I'm confident. As long as you draw its attention for me, I can take it out," Jiang Yan Hai said decisively. "We need to let the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade know that the Iron Fist Regiment isn't to be trifled with either."

"Good! Well said. As long as you're confident, that's enough. You just need us to draw its attention, right? Don't worry! Leave it to me." Regimental Commander Kang immediately broke into a grin and nodded approvingly.

Regimental Commander Kang actually knew Jiang Yan Hai's shooting results, including that astonishing shot he had made with the Type 10 Rifle—a super-long-range snipe from 2,400 meters away. It was simply miraculous. Quite a few foreign snipers could accomplish it, but domestically, to be honest, there were none for the time being.

"Let's go." Since he had made the decision, Regimental Commander Kang did not waste words. He pointed directly toward the nearby cliff.

The others exchanged looks, then followed him.

In just over ten minutes, everyone reached the cliff's edge. The forest ended here, and an open clearing naturally lay before them. The drone overhead quickly discovered them.

Jiang Yan Hai did not leave the forest. Instead, he found an excellent position and set up a sniper position.

"Old Jiang, confident?" He Chen Guang and Wang Yan Bing both came over.

"Don't worry," Jiang Yan Hai said in a low voice.

The two exchanged a look and did not disturb Jiang Yan Hai further. They merely watched quietly nearby, while Regimental Commander Kang and the others had already begun carrying out their plan to draw its attention.
