The Death List Novel - Chapter 135
Chapter 135 Break Out of the Encirclement
There was a natural beach west of Casablanca, and the Oningburg Special Fort Squadron wanted to go ashore at night. All the special forces in the team were trained to dive three miles without any difficulty to snatch the beach. As for Lin Feng’s group of three, they were also stuffed into the seaplane and parachuted down with the eight superhumans because they were Signals Corps and Medical Corps.
The seaplane circled around and parachuted into the wilderness about twenty kilometers from the outskirts of Casablanca. Because of the arrival of the three heads of state, Casablanca is now heavily guarded, with anti-aircraft guns everywhere in the city and unidentified aircraft simply unable to reach it.
“There’s a small forest ahead. The captain told us to prepare for the parachute jump!” Lieutenant Colonel Scorzini walked into the cabin and hooked up the parachute behind him. “Remember, don’t run around after landing. Let the Baron’s vampire bat lead us.”
Casablanca borders the Atlantic Ocean and has a mild climate throughout the year. Although it is early February, the temperature at night is around 10 degrees Celsius and is not very cold. When Qin Lun jumped out of the cabin, the starlight above his head was brilliant and cloudless, as if he could pluck the bright stars with his hand.
“Da da da!” Just as Qin Lun was looking up at the starry sky, the popcorn-like sound of the cannon shattered the tranquility of the night. A few giant searchlights cut through the sky like sharp swords, exposing the seaplane and parachute to the night sky.
“Didn’t you say that there are no enemy anti-aircraft guns here?” The rangers in midair were both shocked and angry, and the quick-witted people quickly thought of spies and traitors.
In the case of dense anti-aircraft guns, the enemy on the ground had long been prepared, not just a simple garrison. It was a long way from Casablanca, and it was clearly not a good idea to station a limited number of anti-aircraft artillery units there unless there was prior knowledge of enemy airborne infiltration.
“We’re at least 500 meters away from the ground. With our current speed, it’ll take about three minutes!”
Qin Lun touched the Sabak Ring on his hand. This ring had a 500-scale Sabak Wall. It was definitely not enough to defend against armor piercing shells above 20 mm. However, looking at the mist in the night sky, it was clear that the enemy’s anti-aircraft guns had used time delay fuses to defend against these scattered shrapnel.
Three minutes passed in a flash. Qin Lun was lucky. No shrapnel hit his body. Only a few holes were pierced through his parachute. After landing on the ground, he had just cut his umbrella rope when he saw countless figures appearing outside the forest.
He found it so quickly! Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and gently rolled up his parachute, stuffing it into a dense bush. The power of modern firearms was very strong. Even if Grant and Weidenbaylor were superhumans of undying bloodline, they would not be able to withstand bullets, let alone an apostle of beginner elven bloodline.
Fortunately, this was a small forest! Qin Lun looked at the trees beside him and smiled. He put his palm on the tree trunk. The big tree that was pressed against his palm swayed slightly in the breeze, as if it was whispering softly.
Regardless of whether it was the failure of the spy work or the traitor in the team, they could no longer obey Scorzini’s orders and wait for the Baron’s vampire bat.
“There are two teams on the left, four teams on the right, an M3 submachine gun and a Springfield sniper rifle … there’s actually a 60 mm mortar!” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and said, “These enemies know very well what they are dealing with. They seem to be betrayers, not allies!”
The Third Reich had even sent out the last surviving Gnyssenau for the Heracles Project, which showed the importance they attached to the Gentlemen’s Alliance. Although Lieutenant Colonel Skorzny was in charge of this operation, even the SS Intelligence Service knew little about it and could only gather some speculation from the deployment of personnel.
Apart from the Imperial Head and a few military leaders, the only people who truly understood the inside story were the members of the Rangers. Moreover, the entire operation had only lasted a few days, from the planning to the implementation. It’s hard to imagine that the spies of the Allies would be able to detect the situation unless their spies were within the Gentlemen’s Union …
‘”The encirclement hasn’t completely formed” Qin Lun thought for a moment and picked up the suitcase containing the sniper rifle and touched it in one direction.
Not far away, he saw a figure squatting in the bushes looking around. Qin Lun smiled. Other than Lieutenant Colonel Scolzny, the other characters in the Gentlemen’s Alliance were no longer trustworthy. However, the apostles on his team could definitely be trusted. Even Grant the Clown wouldn’t betray his team at the beginning of the mission.
“Ah! It’s … you, you scared me to death!” Lin Feng was shocked by the sudden addition of palms on his shoulders and nervously wiped away his cold sweat.
“Easy, is the communication equipment still there?” Qin Lun asked in a low voice.
“I was hit by shrapnel. However, I have spare parts in my bag. They should be able to be repaired!” Lin Feng flipped through the communicator. The messenger soldier he possessed had experience in repairing, so he could deal with this situation.
“Repair while walking!” Qin Lun patted his shoulder, his eyes flashing with a faint green light.
“Boss Qin Lun, can you see the direction clearly?” Lin Feng was overjoyed and asked softly, “Shall we go find Xiaolian and Lily?”
“No, it’s too late. The direction we broke out of the encirclement is too far from them!” Qin Lun slowly shook his head and said indifferently, “That guy is right in front of us. We can take him with us!”
“Is it a clown?” Lin Feng bitterly asked, “Boss Qin Lun, can I show Lil ‘Lian and Lily the direction to break out of the encirclement on the guild channel?”
“Let them go to the east. There’s still a small gap in the encirclement, but we have to be faster!” Qin Lun glanced at Lin Feng and replied indifferently.
The temporary guild of the Black Iron Badge had finally played its due role. Although there was no guild warehouse or bonus, just one guild channel was already worth it. Even though it was just an intelligence sharing, it was equivalent to all the members of the guild possessing Qin Lun’s night vision ability and elven tongue.
Lin Feng sighed and began to contact the other three. He knew that Qin Lun would be the first to find him because of the communication device, not because he really cared about him.
“Boss Grant, you can wait for us on the spot … Xiaolian, Lily, it’s too late for you to reunite. Run east! Faster!”
“Hurry up and repair the telegraph. After it’s done, send a letter to the commandos and lieutenant colonels on the beach!” Qin Lun said expressionlessly.
The members of the Gentlemen’s Alliance who could be selected were all vetted for loyalty. Now that a traitor had appeared and the main mission hadn’t changed, it was very likely that it was an unexpected temporary change. The shattered starry sky was just a collection of Laws, unable to measure and judge the characters’ psychology.
The members of the Gentlemen’s Alliance were all superhumans. Vampires and flame men were difficult to surround. As long as Skorzny was fine, they could still contact the German intelligence organization in Casablanca. The main mission did not fail completely.
However, once Skorzny died, it would be difficult for them to contact the intelligence organization in the next two days. The difficulty of the mission would be unimaginable. Unless he could find other extended branches of the main mission, Qin Lun would rather be deducted 55 Longevity Soul points than participate in the main plot.
“Nice to see you again, Qin Lun!” Grant stood up from the darkness with a hint of joy in his voice. “Looks like your bloodline has a very strong scouting ability, but it seems to be more suitable for ranged combat professions …”
“Haha, I didn’t expect the Decomposer to choose a ranged combat profession!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. A smile appeared in his cold grey eyes. He said half-truthfully, “We are only beginner apostles. We do not have rich resources and are unable to freely choose bloodline items. Perhaps in the future, with other melee bloodlines, I might be able to change my bloodline again.”
The Moonlight Fairy bloodline was actually very suitable for many combat professions, and wasn’t limited to ranged combat professions. It was only because Qin Lun’s elven tongue was perceptual and night vision was a necessary ability for long-range attacks that Grant misunderstood.
“Our match is very good!” Grant laughed embarrassedly and took the lead.
The three of them stopped and walked. When they reached the edge of the forest, Lin Feng finally fixed the telegraph and sent short messages to the commandos and Skorzny. They soon received a response. The lieutenant colonel was wearing a small short-range transceiver.
“Skorzny sent us an address in Casablanca and asked us to meet there!” Lin Feng said happily, “He has already protruded the encirclement, but the last message is very strange. He told us to be careful … Green!”
“Green? What is it?” Grant asked in confusion.
“He didn’t say that the telegraph can’t send a long message. Could it be the code name of the unit that surrounded us?” Lin Feng replied carefully.
Qin Lun opened his eyes and withdrew his palm from the tree trunk. “We’ll be out of the woods in another two hundred meters. There’s a squad in front of us guarding. There’s no mortar or machine gun …” He opened his eyes and pulled back his palm. “It’s just that they set up a simple fortification. I can’t hit everyone!”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll charge once, and they’ll all show their heads!” Grant sneered and pinched his fingers. “It depends on your spear technique!”
“OK!” Qin Lun smiled as he unloaded his suitcase. “The Kar98k sniper rifle has exactly ten rounds of ammunition in a magazine. It can finish the battle in half a minute!”
“Kada!” As the last cartridge case of the sniper rifle magazine landed on the ground, one of the people in the scope lowered his head and fell onto the sandbag. Qin Lun did not boast. Grant had just rushed over half the distance in front of the forest, and there were no living people in one of the Alliance’s class positions.
“Perfect performance, it makes me want to practice my spear skills!” Grant licked his lips and squeezed the tip of the M3 submachine gun out of his tense muscles.
“Haha … Eh?” Qin Lun had just laughed twice when he frowned and looked up into the distance.
