Chapter 0083: He, absolutely!
The infiltration went as smoothly as expected. The four members of the A team quickly moved towards the building under the cover of various buildings. Although it went incredibly smoothly, they remained highly vigilant and even kept a distance of more than ten meters between each other.
Little did they know, all of this was under the watchful eye of the guard company. Just as they were about to sneak into the building, several beams of light suddenly shone from all directions, illuminating the four infiltrators and leaving them nowhere to hide.
"We've been exposed! Retreat!"
The four were shocked and immediately began to retreat according to their previously agreed-upon plan, but it was too late. More than ten soldiers rushed out, wielding sticks wrapped in cotton cloth, and cut off their escape route.
"Split up! Don't get caught!"
The four veterans were cursing under their breath; the preparations were truly thorough! The four had no choice but to split up and run away, but this was all within the guard company's expectations, and they began their pursuit in an orderly manner.
Old A originally thought that splitting up and running away would reduce the pressure, but unexpectedly, during the escape, people kept appearing out of nowhere with unknown names, as if they had been prepared in advance, and they were all stopped one after another.
"Brother... myself..." One of the old A's was stopped. Seeing that he was surrounded from behind, he knew that there was no hope of running away. He immediately surrendered and wanted to reveal his identity, but the other party seemed to be afraid that he would reveal his identity. Before he could finish speaking, the other party swung the stick wrapped in cotton cloth down and hit him.
"Holy crap..."
Of course, Old A wanted to fight back, but his fists were no match for the clubs. He was beaten so badly that he could only cover his head and face. Although the opponents were very careful in their attacks, the feeling was really... unpleasant!
Zheng Yingqi and his companion were about to finish nitpicking when a sudden loud alarm and flashing searchlight startled them.
"What's wrong?"
Zheng Yingqi said uncertainly, "It might be a drill."
"How come we didn't know? Aren't we from the guard company?" His comrade got angry. Zheng Yingqi shrugged. If they kept nitpicking like this, they would soon become hostile to each other—he admitted that he had put too much pressure on the friendly forces lately.
"Let's go take a look."
Zheng Yingqi and his companions ran towards the area illuminated by the searchlight. Before they even reached the area, they saw someone running towards them with their head covered, followed by soldiers from the guard company wielding sticks.
Zheng Yingqi was stunned. This situation was all too familiar—they were often chased like this by the guard company!
But he immediately realized, "Wait a minute! Lao Qin and Lao Xu are in the dorm; they're not our people!"
His companion exclaimed in surprise, "Did someone really infiltrate?"
"We'll know once we catch them!"
As Zheng Yingqi spoke, he pounced forward. His companions saw this and immediately gave chase. The Old A, who was being chased by the guard company, saw two more people running out in front of them and knew that the situation was hopeless. He was about to admit defeat, but before he could say anything, someone rushed towards him. By then, it was too late to resist. The dignified Old A was caught off guard and easily knocked down and controlled.
Extremely standard capture techniques!
The searchlight following the escapee froze in place, as if in a daze. The guards who were chasing after him, panting heavily, also froze like the searchlight—what kind of drama is this? The members of Team A are actually fighting amongst themselves?
"Don't just stand there, he's not one of ours!" Zheng Yingqi knew from the guard company's reaction that they had mistaken this person for their group, so he immediately explained, adding casually, "Would our people be so easily caught?"
Upon hearing this, Old A, who was under control, was on the verge of tears. What the hell did this mean?
"Not one of yours? Holy crap, someone actually infiltrated?" The guards, after a moment of stunned silence, pounced on the enemy. Now they didn't care about hurting friendly forces anymore, and their actions were as rough as possible.
After handing the gagged "prisoner" to his comrades in the guard company, Zheng Yingqi asked, "How many infiltrators were there in total?"
"Four of them scattered and ran away. Hey Lao Zheng, are they really not your men? Or are you playing some trick on us again?" The guard who spoke still didn't believe it. It seemed that he was afraid of being tricked by Group A's various methods!
Zheng Yingqi said, half-laughing and half-crying, "There are only four people in our group. With just the two of us here, where are we going to find more? Come on, get the others together, and have you notified our company commander?"
The captured infiltrator tried to explain, but a soldier slapped him across the face, yelling, "Behave yourself!"
The other man glared hatefully at the soldier who had attacked him, showing no fear of being captured, but rather a look of utter rage. Zheng Yingqi, seeing this, became suspicious and scrutinized the man closely. Then, when he noticed the man's strange armband, a chill ran down his spine:
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Could it be Old A?
The more Zheng Yingqi thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Seeing his comrade, who had been glared at, about to give the intruder another talking-to, Zheng Yingqi quickly stopped him, removed the object from the intruder's mouth, and asked uncertainly:
"Brother, are you one of us?"
Finally able to use his mouth, the veteran team member spat several times and cursed, "We're all on the same side, is it necessary to be so ruthless?"
"One of us? Sneaking in like this and you have the nerve to call yourselves one of us? Enough nonsense! Let's find out who you are first!" The guards scolded. Just because they're one of us, doesn't mean they can sneak in and do evil.
"Alright," the 2nd platoon leader rushed over, understood a lot from the second half of what he heard, and instructed his subordinates: "Take the man away. Someone, go and inform our company commander."
Looking at the unlucky Old A who had been arrested, Zheng Yingqi couldn't help but chuckle to himself. If this really was Old A, wouldn't this be considered an unexpected setback?
……
All four were arrested—none escaped. Except for one who was lucky enough to be caught by Zheng Yingqi, the other three were beaten so badly they almost cried before they could even finish revealing their identities. Although the beating wasn't severe, they were subjected to all sorts of bullying tactics!
But later, especially after seeing Zheng Yingqi strolling leisurely, the soldiers of the guard company realized that their anger, which they had been venting for so long, was not directed at the people of Group A.
The company commander and the regimental officer, Lin, rushed over together—and the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up.
Officer Lin was sent by the regimental commander. When the regimental commander called him and asked him to take the people away, his voice was very strange, like... he was suppressing laughter. So Officer Lin guessed that these people might be some old comrade of the regimental commander who didn't believe in superstitions and sent them out to test the waters.
only……
As Officer Lin looked at the four miserable friendly soldiers on the scene, he smiled bitterly to himself. Didn't the regimental commander know what kind of mess A Group had made of the guard company? He didn't even say anything beforehand, and now his friendly soldiers were in such a state.
"Quickly call the medic over here and check if anyone is injured. You guys are too ruthless!" Officer Lin could only blame his own men for putting on an act.
"Officer Lin... they didn't give us any advance notice, so we thought someone had actually infiltrated..." the platoon leader explained with a wry smile. As he said this, Zheng Yingqi, who was not far away, almost burst out laughing. He immediately glared at him—it's all your fault, what are you laughing at now!
"We're fine," one of the older men said in a muffled voice. He finally understood. The other party was well-prepared, but their preparations weren't directed at them—they just happened to be there, but unfortunately, they were used as punching bags. This was truly unfair!
"Disperse, everyone. What are you all doing gathered here? Aren't you afraid someone will take advantage of the situation?" Officer Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then dispersed the soldiers who had been watching. Someone muttered:
"What kind of chaos is this? We haven't let our guard down yet. If four more come, arrest them!"
The truth is that Team A once made a drastic sacrifice, with three people being captured to cover for another. The guard company suffered a heavy loss before, so how could they possibly fall into the same trap again?
But these words were too harsh to Old A's ears.
The four of them almost choked on their breath—when did our Old A team ever get so looked down upon?
