Bombed on All Sides
South of the mine base, deep in that dense, rugged primeval jungle, just as a certain miserable little girl of a supreme leader had inexplicably been hit on the head by a nuclear bomb and was preparing to investigate the reason and cause of the fusion strike, the reconnaissance-strike mission of the combat squad led by the "Savior," Wang Qing, had also run into serious trouble!
Originally, Wang Qing and the others had planned to sneak onto the highest mountain peak and observe and reconnoiter their mission objective from a commanding position at long range. If necessary, they could also launch a fusion strike directly. That was what their squad's mission orders required, because although signals could not be transmitted, low-frequency lasers could pass through the red fog and be observed by satellites.
But how could they have expected that the daemons had seemingly predicted their predictions in advance?
Thus!
The five of them, with only a hundred meters of safe distance from the Ghost Operative scouting ahead, soon ran into the Warp Daemons' sentries and a Legion of daemonic monsters atop the highest mountain.
Then, after both sides spotted each other, they naturally erupted into a fierce battle without another word.
The instant the fighting began, the two sides were too close, and the jungle terrain was sufficiently complicated. On top of that, machine gunner Ma Kun became the daemons' primary target because of his overwhelming firepower at the very start of the engagement. He was quickly hacked down, badly wounded, and knocked unconscious. Considering that the sound of the firefight would soon attract more daemons, and that they were hopelessly outnumbered, Squad Leader Awen had no choice but to declare the mission failed on the spot, shoulder their machine gunner, and decisively begin retreating.
