Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 692: Chapter 312: Invasion

This is human blood!!

Gu Ji’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately used the checkpoint save function.

[Do you want to create a new save?]

[Yes!]

The reason he was so certain it was human blood was due to the conspicuous drag marks around the bloodstains, as if someone had been dragging a corpse.

"Mr. Han, something’s off about this cave, it seems like someone is hurt..."

"Bang! Bang!"

Gu Ji hadn’t even finished speaking when suddenly, from the dark depths of the cave ahead, came two ear-piercing gunshots.

Everyone, without exception, widened their eyes.

It’s gunfire!!

"What... what on earth happened!"

"Why would there be gunfire, were those the two Bafang soldiers who went in shooting?"

"Could there be wild beasts in the cave?"

"Impossible, even if there were, they would’ve been scared away by the aftershocks earlier!"

...

Fortunately, everyone was previously part of the Engineering Corps and had seen big scenes before. Instead of panicking or blanking out at the sound of gunshots, they immediately hugged the walls and started to whisper and analyze.

Han Yue’s face turned grim, knowing that gunfire was never a trivial matter.

"Everyone, turn off your lights, tear off the reflective strips from your uniforms, stick close to the walls. Support team, quickly send two people outside the cave, report immediately to the command center, say there’s gunfire inside the cave, suspected skirmish, requesting backup!"

"Yes!"

"Tech team, see if the drones and robots can be controlled, have them lead the way forward."

"Understood!"

"Bian Shizhang, what exactly were you trying to say?"

Han Yue, with his reconnaissance background and extensive frontline command experience,

had swiftly made the safest and most prudent order after just one gunshot: take cover, call for backup, investigate the situation ahead.

Collaborating with someone so insightful undoubtedly makes things much easier.

Gu Ji continued immediately, "Mr. Han, Xiao Jian found bloodstains ahead, I took a look, and I’m 100% certain that someone dragged an injured person, leaving wipe marks. This is human blood!"

Zou Lei’s expression turned startled, "Human blood, could it be..."

"That’s right, there has definitely been a fierce battle inside the cave, possibly leading to fatalities!"

With the actions these past two days, Han Yue was well aware of Gu Ji’s capabilities.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he quickly came forward, and after observing the scene, his judgment aligned closely with Gu Ji’s, which was also his greatest concern.

"Saudi Arabia and the United States have always maintained good relations; such intense conflict is unlikely. Could there be others in the cave?"

"How could ordinary Pakistani civilians attack a rescue team?"

"Could it be the robbers we encountered on the highway this morning?"

Ying Wanyu suddenly proposed, and everyone’s pupils contracted instantly.

It really could be possible!

Han Yue, along with Gu Ji and others, exchanged glances, their expressions turning icy.

Just as everyone fell into silence, the technical team leader broke it with a sigh, "No way, Mr. Han, the signal interference inside the cave is too severe, we can’t remotely control the equipment."

"Alright then."

Han Yue turned his head, using the faint reflection from the cave walls, seriously looked into each team member’s eyes, "Listen to me, from the moment the gun went off, things have already slipped beyond our normal control. The journey ahead will be extremely dangerous, so those who are married or the only child in their family may leave now, wait for rescue outside the cave. The rest, I will personally lead deeper, to investigate."

"Mr. Han, we’re not leaving, running now would render all our years in the military in vain!"

"Yes, Mr. Han, if you don’t go, we won’t go either!"

"Now’s not the time for heroics!"

Han Yue sternly scolded in a low voice, "Listen to me, Kong Jianyong, I remember your child was just born, right? And Ying Wanyu, you’re the only child in your family. Jiang Zhonghu, Wang Yuexi, hurry up, go, go!"

"Mr. Han! I’m not leaving!"

Unexpectedly, Ying Wanyu was the first to step forward in opposition.

She gave a profound look at Gu Ji standing beside Han Yue, saying each word clearly, "Bian Shizhang risked his life to save me; how could I abandon him now!"

"I’m not leaving either! Mr. Han, I’ve always paired up with Mr. Zhan, without me, he wouldn’t manage alone!"

"Mr. Han, don’t try persuading us; none of us will leave!"

"Right! Xia Kingdom’s rescue team will never be divided!"

"You guys..."

Hearing the passionate words from the team members, Han Yue couldn’t help but tear up slightly, nodding and grinning, "Good, well done. Everyone, follow my orders, Xia Kingdom rescue team, move out!"

"Yes!"

With the command, Han Yue took the lead, followed by Gu Ji, Wang Yuexi, leading all the rescue team members as they hugged the walls, continuing deeper into the pitch-black cave.

Han Yue indeed can shoulder responsibility.

As the commander, he should’ve been in the center of the formation for command, but perhaps unwilling to let Gu Ji and Wang Yuexi take the risk, he took the lead at the forefront.

Gu Ji followed behind him, constantly alert to Xiao Jian’s movements and his own ears.

Without the spotlight for illumination, his ears became his greatest asset at this time.

Don’t forget, he possesses enhanced auditory imprint.

With all that, having gone through numerous night battles, when it comes to any actions in this dim environment, probably no one present was better than him, not even Han Yue, who had been a reconnaissance soldier for many years.
