Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 697: Chapter 313: Mysterious Black Shadow

"What!?"

Not only Han Yue, but also Zou Lei, Wang Yuexi, Ying Wanyu, and others instinctively exclaimed in shock.

"Do you remember the group of bandits we encountered on the highway this morning?"

"Are you saying..."

Han Yue’s eyelid twitched; among those present, only he knew best that these people were armed.

If it really was them, then the situation for the Saudi and U.S. rescue teams would be extremely dangerous.

"My suggestion is to immediately send someone back outside the cave to alert the helicopter to find a place to hide, call the command center for armed support, and set up machine guns ready to respond at any time!"

"Bian Shizhang, are you planning to confront the armed bandits?"

Han Yue was startled by Gu Ji’s decision; although they were all trained soldiers, aside from crowbars, picks, and shovels, they had no firearms.

"Yes!"

Gu Ji responded decisively, with a reassuring confidence.

He recalled clearly that the Bafang had dispatched Lark 3 multi-purpose light helicopters equipped with 20mm cannons, which outperformed rifles in firing rate and firepower, making it lethal even with a near miss.

Such a valuable asset, Gu Ji was determined to make good use of it.

Based on the interrogations of Bafang soldiers last week, he knew the bandits did not understand the situation outside, mainly due to strong signal interference inside the cave, making sentries unnecessary.

Even if government police or military approached, they could not notify their accomplices inside the cave in time.

So, with the helicopter cannon’s firepower, they could catch the bandits completely off guard!

The only pity was the presence of HVT targets inside the cave, namely the Saudi and U.S. rescue team.

Otherwise, setting explosives at the cave entrance would cave in all exits, suffocating the bandits without a single troop loss.

"But now in our hands..."

"No time for explanation, Mr. Han, gunfire just began. As long as the Bafang soldiers haven’t been completely overrun, we should quickly move to support them!"

Gu Ji didn’t give Han Yue much time to think, immediately rushing out with Xiao Jian.

Thanks to the environmental and enemy personnel info from the previous cycle, he seemed like he had a wallhack, advancing at extraordinary speed.

Han Yue thought he was going on a suicide mission.

Upon discovering a shot Bafang soldier, it seemed he had almost bled to death, and Ying Wanyu’s attempts to save him were in vain.

Grabbing the 56-2 rifle, Gu Ji followed the previous plan, coordinating with Wang Yuexi to take down four bandits.

He grabbed the soldier with a leg wound, handed the gun to Zou Lei, and let others carry the soldier to maximize firepower and enhance team mobility.

"Four, three, two, one!"

Gu Ji silently counted the enemy bandits’ arrival time, suddenly turned around, and noticed a light creeping from the cave, then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Da-da!"

"Ah—!"

The gunfire sounded, followed by a scream.

Han Yue looked in disbelief; this guy seemed like he was cheating, surprising the bandits with unexpected backup!

"Retreat quickly! Everyone retreat outside the cave! Xi Zi, Mr. Zou, cover my withdrawal alternately!"

"Understood!"

"Got it!"

Gu Ji seemed to possess some magic, subtly leading everyone into his command rhythm, temporarily forgetting Han Yue was their commander.

They retreated along the cave track towards the "T" junction.

Gu Ji instinctively glanced at the right-side cave behind him.

In the last cycle, a mysterious shadow appeared from this position.

But this cycle, perhaps the game system fixed this bug; there was no purple flash, not even a sound.

Gu Ji finally relaxed.

Fully focused, he led Wang Yuexi and them in firefights with the bandits.

Due to the lack of cover inside the cave, any frontal encounter guaranteed casualties.

So his sole goal was using temporary firepower suppression to let unarmed team members swiftly escape the cave, then devise a method to lure the bandits out and use the hidden helicopter cannon to eliminate them all!

"Watch out for grenades!!"

"Woof! Woof!"

"Retreat quickly! Get down!!"

Seeing enemy grenades thrown, Gu Ji pulled Xiao Jian and quickly rolled to the cave corner.

With two deafening explosions, the entire mine suddenly began to rumble, debris and rocks falling from the ceiling and surrounding walls, frightening Zou Lei into curling up.

Fortunately, the cave did not collapse.

"Damn, are these lunatic bandits not afraid of burying us all using explosives in a post-shock underground cave!"

"Heh, if they had brains, they wouldn’t be bandits!"

Zou Lei and Wang Yuexi joked each with a quip.

Gu Ji quickly dragged Xiao Jian up, urging everyone to leave the cave quickly, "Mr. Han, have the pilot ready at any moment; once I order fire, pull the fire control button immediately!"

"Alright!"

This battle showed Han Yue how capable this guy was at combat command, even better than himself.

He really couldn’t understand how the Engineering Corps leaders could let such talent join the rescue team; this skill set was perfect for the military’s reconnaissance special operations unit!

"Spotlight ahead! The exit is just ahead!"

"Da-da-da! Don’t look back, run quickly; this stretch is a straight path, no cover!"

Gu Ji shouted while turning and shooting, the 56-2 firing bullets as if they were free, wildly suppressing the bandits’ pursuit.

Finally, he dashed towards the exit, then quickly rolled to the sides.

Rising, Gu Ji led Xiao Jian rapidly towards the mine mountain, "Five, four, three, two... Mr. Han! Prepare to open fire!!"

"Open fire!!"

As Han Yue pressed the walkie-talkie, four or five armed bandits emerged from the cave entrance.

Just as they were about to shoot at Gu Ji and others fleeing up the slope, a sudden high-frequency sound resonated from the opposite hill, and the Lark 3 helicopter ascended, the 20mm cannon instantly activated:

"Tutu-tututu——!"
