Chapter 1642 “Hunting” Operation

The goal of the Elite Platoon was to capture Ye Jian, and her goal was to get rid of either Crane or Pigeon.
She didn’t have too much confidence to get rid of both of them at the same time.

Li Jinnian was about five meters away from Ye Jian.
He was ready with a fighting dagger in his hand, waiting for the members of the Elite Platoon to come over and take action.

The wind whistled with snow and blew onto their goggles, directly blocking their line of sight.
Crane, in his white camouflage clothes, moved cautiously; his army boots stepped into the snow without any sound.

He was mainly responsible for reconnaissance and telling all his comrades what he had seen to facilitate their operations.

“Nothing unusual ahead.
Brothers, beware of traps.” Crane carefully passed through the crossfire point while hiding behind some trees.
From a distance, his figure seemed to be integrated with the white land.
“Move to the left, go around and see if there’s any abnormality.”

As a scout, Crane was almost entering the Storm Commando’s area.
His main task was to go deep behind the enemy, to scout all the enemy’s military operations, and to capture the enemy prisoners.

Neither Crane nor Pigeon directly “hunted” their target.
They only needed to provide beneficial intelligence to their comrades and detect their enemy’s movements, so they had no offensive missions.
On the contrary, they must avoid encounters with the Storm Commando.

Therefore, Crane and Pigeon must be more careful and cautious than any other team members to avoid being discovered by the Storm Commando.

Li Jinnian agreed that Ye Jian would directly participate in the “hunting” operation.
At the same time, he tasked her to kill or capture the Elite Platoon’s reconnaissance team.

After observation, he found that Ye Jian’s anti-reconnaissance ability was quite powerful, just like her shooting skills.

Xia Jinyuan predicted that Ye Jian would definitely join the “hunting” operation, but he couldn’t predict how Li Jinnian would arrange her task.
He, even more, didn’t expect that she had already eyed his scout Crane at this moment.

The mountain was tranquil, but the atmosphere was full of solemnity.
Little sparrows that initially were flying on the snow from time to time, seemingly playful, had all fled the forest.    

Ye Jian squinted her eyes and stared at a white figure.
She reported her position to Li Jinnian, her voice was almost inaudible, “Found the target, about three meters away from me, follow me.”

“Roger that.”

In the earphone, Li Jinnian and the other water ghosts who were closer to each other answered, and they lay in ambush.
Li Jinnian went deep into the enemy and fully cooperated with Ye Jian to complete the “hunting”.   

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening.
It was at about 4:30 p.m.
The painful cold wind on his face was stronger than before, and his body temperature seemed to have faintly dropped.

Ye Jian, who was fused with the snow, waited quietly for the time to come.
She was all buried in the snow.
In the darkening sky, as long as she stayed still, no one would know her presence.
That slightly arched “snow bun” in the snow was Ye Jian’s disguise.

At least, Crane didn’t notice her.

But he was very cautious.
Every time he walked one meter in the Storm Commando’s area, he would lurch and observe.

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters…four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter.
The target was close.
Ye Jian took a tight breath and listened to the army boots gently stepping on the snow.
The boots were making “creaking” sounds.

Crane passed by in front of her, at a distance less than 50 centimeters.
Ye Jian did not move.
She had no way to be sure whether there was anyone behind him or not, and she had to wait for Li Jinnian and the others to report to her.
