My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 485 - 316: The Person to Save

Chapter 485: Chapter 316: The Person to Save

"Creak~"

The rusty wooden door hinge made a slight sliding noise.

Big Beard, the leader Asleep, Ali’s fingers suddenly twitched slightly, years of combat experience had him maintain a certain level of alertness even in deep sleep.

As if sensing something, he abruptly opened his eyes.

"Who’s there!"

However, all was silent in the darkness.

Ali realized the danger and immediately tried to reach for the weapon by his bedside.

But at that moment, a cold gun barrel pressed against his forehead, making his body stiffen and he dared not move any more.

"Are you Ali?" a deep male voice asked.

Ali’s heart sank to the bottom...

Because... the other party was speaking Chinese...

"Click!" A beam of tactical flashlight suddenly shone on Big Beard’s face, causing him a moment of dizziness.

He tried to open his eyes, wanting to see the face of the person before him, but under the strong backlight, he could only see a vague silhouette.

"Hmm! You are indeed Ali!"

This time, the sentence was affirmative.

"Who are you?" Ali’s eyes showed a trace of fear.

"Biu!"

Without any nonsense, his answer was a bullet that shot out!

The next instant, a bloody hole appeared in his forehead.

With his eyes wide open in death, Big Beard slowly collapsed onto the bed...

He could never figure out how the enemy had silently infiltrated his room through layers of tight security...

"The bandit leader has been killed, how are things on your end?"

[Report, Captain, the ’little darlings’ have all been installed.]

"Good, everyone begin the evacuation!"

...

Three minutes later...

"Boom! Boom boom! Boom boom boom..."

Continuous explosions and ammunition blasts turned the entire town center where the militants were stationed into a sea of fire.

The remaining militants ran about in panic, many were set alight like human torches, falling as they wailed...

On the outskirts of the town.

Watching the blazing town center, members of the Dragon Hunting Team cheered and high-fived each other.

But Chu Tian was staring intently at the dark night sky, his ears twitching after a while.

"Buzz~"

Thanks to his hearing that surpassed normal human capability, the faint buzzing sound that was barely audible above him, allowed Chu Tian to finally figure out what had been monitoring them...

He looked in the direction the sound was coming from and spoke into his headset.

"Mr. Black Cat, thank you for your assistance this time, our mission is complete. You said earlier you were here to rescue someone, do you need our help?"

[No need, I’ve already rescued the person I came for.]

"Is it among those fleeing civilians? Do you need help with the escort?"

[No need, just be safe on your way back, that’s the best help you can give me.]

"Uh..." Although the other party’s words were a bit strange, since he didn’t need help, Chu Tian didn’t offer any further.

"Anyway, we Dragon Hunting Team owe you a favor this time, is there a chance to thank you in person?"

According to regulations, revealing one’s identity during such missions was not allowed.

But since the communication channel had already been hacked, the identities that should have leaked had already been leaked long ago.

Also, considering the obvious goodwill the other party had shown, Chu Tian offered the name of their unit as a sign of sincerity.

If the other party was willing to meet, he might be able to try to persuade him to join the Dragon Hunting Team and serve their country...

[Thank in person? There will be a day for that, but not now.]

Chu Tian was a bit puzzled.

"Not now, then when?"

[Just wait till you guys change your name to ’Demon Hunting Team,’ haha...]

The voice in the headset gradually faded away, and the drone in the sky became more distant.

Yet everyone looked a bit baffled.

They want our "Dragon Hunting Team" to change our name to "Demon Hunting Team"?

Traditionally, renaming a special operations team like theirs usually only came with a new Captain’s authority...

"Damn it! Captain, he’s vying for your position!"

"Although I don’t know where this Black Cat hailed from, the fact that he wanted to be captain as soon as he came in... that boldness... I like it!"

"You said it, I’ve really never fought a battle as smoothly as that one just now. Just for that move alone, Captain, I think I’d like to vote for him if you don’t mind?"

"Hahaha..."

Chu Tian: "..."

...

On the other side of the small town, the real Black Cat had evacuated to the outskirts earlier.

At this moment, he had no idea that someone had just impersonated him, causing a huge misunderstanding...

Looking at the town engulfed in flames, turning half the sky red, he couldn’t help but be astonished.

Good grief!

A base with over a hundred armed men just vanished like that?

Not only were there zero casualties on our side, but the entire operation didn’t even take more than twenty minutes...

That special forces team’s astonishing combat power was one thing, but what was most important was the terrifying battlefield control of the person behind the scenes...

Has the art of warfare become so advanced that even small-scale urban warfare can achieve the effects of asymmetric combat?

Lucky for me I retired early, otherwise, facing such an enemy on the battlefield, I’d probably end up like those unlucky armed men.

Dead without knowing how I died...

"Buzz~" Drones began converging toward his location one after another.

He earnestly began the retrieval operation.

The evaluation of this mission was really spot-on; in this state, I’m nothing but a "humanoid self-propelled transport platform"...

Having witnessed the other party’s vast capabilities, he had completely given up on the idea of escaping their control.

But he was somewhat puzzled: since the man who claimed to be "Meng Changjun" said that the special forces team was "friendly forces,"

why didn’t he join them directly, instead of hiding behind the curtains, using me as a "tool person" to provide assistance?

Reviewing today’s battle from the beginning, it was clear that the other party knew this team would come and likely knew their identities and objectives.

So... was today’s action a "borrowing a knife to kill"?

No, it should be said "borrowing a knife to save people"!

Does that mean... not only am I a tool person, but so is that special forces team?

Are we all just pawns on the chessboard of that shadowy figure?

So, the critical question arises...

Who, exactly, is "Meng Changjun" trying to save?

Whoever it is that made such an influential force go to such lengths to rescue them must be no minor character!

But looking at the hostages just now, they all seemed to be local commoners.

There were neither blonde-haired, blue-eyed journalists, nor black-haired, black-eyed people from Country Hua—no valuable special person at all!

If I knew who they were trying to save, maybe I could deduce the other party’s power and faction...

"Cough! Excuse me, is my mission considered complete now?"

Ning Shisan coughed and tried to ask through the communicator.

[Mm! You finished the task well, good job.]

That tone... it’s Meng Changjun!

He perked up.

"Have the people been rescued? Do you need my help with the escort?"

[Why do you all ask the same question? No need, everyone is safe now, we can all wash up and go to sleep.]

"Safe?" Ning Shisan was stunned for a moment, then somewhat reluctantly said,

"How can it be? With all the chaos here, and those refugees who just fled being unarmed, what if..."

[Who told you the ones I’m trying to save are those refugees?]

"Isn’t it?" Ning Shisan was flabbergasted.

Apart from your so-called "enemy" and "friendly forces," on this battlefield, the only ones who somewhat fit the "rescued" role would be those hostages, right?

You’re not trying to save them?

Could it be those "friendly forces"?

"Uh..."

Ning Shisan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

As they say, when you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth?

So, you had me travel all the way from Country Hua to here, not to rescue some pitiful "important hostage."

But for a force that had just wiped out a whole group of armed men, a "fierce and ruthless army"?

Are Country Hua’s troops now deploying babysitters for their missions abroad?

Where’s the logic in that?
