CHAPTER 476: CHAPTER 441: THE FISHERMAN GOES UP THE MOUNTAIN

Mountain Eagle, as the sole owner of the "Eye in the Sky" in this region, witnessed the entire first skirmish between Dimension Card Company and Black Fox as he rushed towards the west side wetlands of the Mountain Laboratory on Quida’s fishing boat...

Shaking his head, Mountain Eagle could not help but witness Dimension Card Company’s people treating the powerful giant wolf as disposable suicide animal weapons.

Human imagination is incredibly rich, yet if not put to righteous use, even the most expensively developed weapons can have their effectiveness drastically reduced.

At first glance, this suicide warfare tactic appears formidable, but in reality, an observation UAV coupled with two 122mm howitzers could achieve a far better outcome.

If one is willing to spend the money, it would be more precise and efficient to deploy suicide drones for the destruction of infantry.

As a result, the personnel at the laboratory have forsaken the mobility of the giant wolf and its deterrent effect on infantry in pursuit of high lethality, turning the costly giant wolf into mere expendables.

For someone like Mountain Eagle who possesses a controller, this is seen as a colossal waste.

Having worked with Balang for a long time, Mountain Eagle is well aware of the significant role these animals, capable of understanding their master’s detailed commands, can play on the battlefield.

Instead, it seems the laboratory’s security either values their own lives too much or for some other reason; they simply do not engage and let the animals take the lead. This act of losing sight of the essentials for the sake of the trivial, has not only squandered the laboratory’s efforts but also proved minimally effective.

The forest terrain severely limited the blast’s potency, so much so that after the 15 frenzied giant wolves, stimulated by their large bodies, perished, the Jungle Ants gradually adapted to this method of assault.

They then collectively administered an injection before starting to spread out in pairs, using the forest as cover to approach the plains.

Some of the smarter ones attempted to traverse mountains, but they quickly encountered a blockade on the hilltops. Facing the enemy’s high ground advantage, these clever individuals swiftly retreated.

Black Fox is now left with only two options: to either boldly storm the expansive valley plains or spend days detouring with his team from a different direction for an attack.

Clearly, Black Fox no longer has the time to detour; the only option left is a head-on assault.

When Mountain Eagle’s team arrived at the wetland shore on the west side of the laboratory, both parties were still in a standoff...

From time to time, the Jungle Ants would launch an assault from the woods, quickly followed by bullets fired from the valley’s hilltops, coordinating with the suicide animals to halt the attackers.

Both sides exhibited restraint because each believed they had a backup plan...

Through Crow, Mountain Eagle saw people transporting Javelin Anti-Tank Missiles and a large quantity of AT4 to the frontline positions of the woods...

They were not in a hurry to use them, apparently waiting for nightfall to climb the mountain, destroy those fire points, and cover the advance of their comrades below.

The people from the laboratory were also crafty; the grassy valley in the Northeast direction was not their real defensive focus. The true defensive forces were deployed in the narrow passage connecting the two valleys.

The laboratory’s forces had established fire points on each side of the ridge, making it easy to seal off the valley passage with crossfire.

The stalemate between the two sides provided Mountain Eagle with ample time and space...

Upon landing, Mountain Eagle’s first action was to have Wayne leave behind 20 individuals responsible for pitching tents and ready to light fires at any moment.

A significant amount of supplies and first aid materials were brought ashore, while Quida began leading the remaining people to cut down trees to build barriers for protection against potential attacks from creatures like the giant wolf.

Mountain Eagle couldn’t provide suitable weapons for everyone, but he could ensure there was an ample supply of ammunition...

Many of these Indian Hunters had not carried more than 50 bullets in their lifetime, but now they had enough ammunition to last them two years.

High morale made most people overlook the dangers, and it also brought forward the progress Mountain Eagle had anticipated.

As the temporary camp was quickly organized, Mountain Eagle handed over a dozen radios to Wayne, and then with the main force, it took them two hours to pass through a valley between two hills and approached the base of the mountain where the laboratory was situated.

Nearly 50 additional Indian Hunters were left behind; they would use oil saws to carve a relatively clearer path through the valley.

Mountain Eagle’s extensive preparations caused considerable concern among the professional soldiers...

However, to their surprise, even as they began their ascent, the people inside the mountain remained unaware of their presence.

One hour remained before darkness, and Mountain Eagle stopped in the woods at the foot of the mountain...

Once again, a few technicians attempted to launch UAVs from the mountain top entrance. Unfortunately, just as a drone took off and before it could begin surveying its surroundings, a shadow pounced from above, damaging a propeller with its claws, resulting in the drone’s unbalanced crash.

Through Crow’s vision, Mountain Eagle saw those two technicians clutching their heads in helpless howls, and he couldn’t help but grin...

Using Crow for a low-altitude thorough reconnoiter of the mountaintop, the enemy’s attention was all on the Northeast direction; their very own summit, having only a single covert entrance, was guarded by only a minimal force...

The Genetic Abnormalities Control Group that Mountain Eagle had seen during his last visit was about 50 meters from the mountaintop entrance, on the other side of the ridge, so they couldn’t see Mountain Eagle’s side of the situation.

Considering this, Mountain Eagle turned to Daniel and Tiffany and said, "The rest of you, stay here. I’ll take some men up to clear out the enemies near the entrance...

Listen for my signal, then come up after!"

Tiffany looked back at two reporters mixed within the troops, wearing Bullet-Proof Vests and holding cameras, eager to move; she pulled Mountain Eagle aside to whisper, "You can’t leave us behind, we are the legitimate Special Forces..."

Hearing this, Mountain Eagle chuckled and shook his head, scanning Tiffany’s attire before removing the HRT patch from her arm and beckoning Gray Wolf, whose face was covered, to come over and affixed the patch onto his arm...

Observing the FBI agents’ puzzled expressions nearby, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "Of course, the HRT goes in first for the assault..."

Mountain Eagle saw Daniel, who seemed hesitant to speak, and with a smile, he stripped a shoulder patch from an ATF Special Forces member and stuck it on Butcher’s arm, saying, "Of course, the ATF isn’t falling behind...

We are our own people, we fight against evil under the leadership of ATF and FBI agents!"

After speaking, Mountain Eagle pulled down his mask, patted Butcher on the shoulder, and with the six members of Little Dog Team, they slowly climbed toward the peak.

The western slope of the mountain was slightly steep. Leading the way, Mountain Eagle took a detour and tread a slightly easier path for climbing.

As he was about to reach the top, he stopped beneath a large rock, then lifted his phone and extended his arm to take a few photos...

He gestured for Gray Wolf to come over and showed him the photos on the phone...

"It’s easy to deal with the two people at the entrance, but the six people here are a bit of a hassle...

Which one will you choose?"

Looking at Gray Wolf, Mountain Eagle seriously added, "Whatever you want to do, you can’t make a sound, you can’t alert the people below..."

The two technicians at the entrance to the peak appeared to be arguing about something, probably related to the drone that was shot down earlier.

The six genetically defective freaks were stationed in a natural depression near a giant rock about 50 meters from the entrance, observing the distant situation through binoculars, completely unaware that someone was sneaking up behind them.

Gray Wolf pondered for a moment and said, "You only have two people. You deal with the two at the entrance, we’ll handle those six..."

Hearing this, Mountain Eagle, uneasy, asked, "What’s your plan?"

As he spoke, he took off his VSS and handed it over, saying, "My gun is very quiet..."

Gray Wolf looked at Mountain Eagle, shook his head and said, "No need..."

He then showed his secondary weapon, a silenced MP7, and said, "It’s enough with this.

I need 10 minutes to prepare...

It would be best if you could cause a distraction after taking out the two at the entrance..."

Mountain Eagle, looking at the terrain on the photo, had a rough idea of how Gray Wolf would proceed, so he nodded and said, "Don’t force yourself, speak up if there’s any issue, we can’t afford a mistake."

Gray Wolf waved his hand impatiently, "I’m professional too..."

He then patted Snow Leopard and Rabbit on the arms, pointed to a nearby ridge, and instructed them to slowly approach it, while he led the remaining members to circle around to a farther location.

For safety, Gray Wolf planned to set up two fire points to create crossfire towards the target.

Seeing Gray Wolf’s arrangements, Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and patted Butcher on the arm...

"Let’s go..."

Butcher nodded silently and began to crouch-walk across the gravel-strewn slope for a dozen meters or so...

The two arrived about fifteen meters from the mountain top entrance, and Mountain Eagle again took out his phone to check...

After confirming the positions of the two men, Mountain Eagle squeezed the radio and said, "Ready, 3, 2, 1..."

Counting down to one, Mountain Eagle and Butcher nearly simultaneously stood up, aimed their guns, and pulled the triggers...

Both were using UMP45s, designed for use in confined spaces. With silencers and subsonic bullets, the Sergeant System manufactured UMP45s had their noise reduced to below 85 decibels.

"Tap tap, tap tap"

"Tap tap, tap tap"

The bodies of the two men standing near the peak entrance shook at the same time, then their heads exploded in a cloud of blood, and they slowly fell to the ground.

The sound of the UMP was very low, but the gunshot sound traveled far in the open area. Plus, the items that fell from the hands of the two men upon death caused some noise, which made the six freaks 50 meters away turn their heads in unison.

Just as they turned their heads, Gray Wolf and his three subordinates, who had circled to the ridgeline behind them, along with Snow Leopard and Rabbit on their side, suddenly popped their heads up and opened fire...

The six secondary MP7s now demonstrated incredible power...

The six freaks in bullet-proof vests didn’t even have time to react before they shook like sieves and fell to the ground.

Gray Wolf adhered to the idea of dealing a lethal blow with his move, emptying the entire 30-round magazine.

The six members of Little Dog Team, a total of 180 bullets, greeted the six enemies...

As Mountain Eagle turned the barrel to add some firepower, he found it completely unnecessary...

Not a single one of the freaks’ heads was intact!

After launching the attack and waiting a few minutes to ensure no one below had noticed the situation on the peak, Mountain Eagle glanced at the sky and pressed the radio, saying, "Tiffany, have Wayne bring up 20 men..."

After speaking, Mountain Eagle, seeing Gray Wolf and his men quickly approaching, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, stating, "Great shooting...

But our mission is just beginning, there are tough things to handle below, are you ready?"
