Chapter 129: Being a prisoner? Not happening!

The others didn't need Liu Xiaotian's deputy group leader orders at all, because Lin Yuan, who was the first to jump out of the cabin, had already loudly ordered the soldiers inside to surrender.

Wang Yanbing muttered unwillingly as he walked out:

"Damn! My brand-new AK hasn't even fired a shot yet!"

Liu Xiaotian, walking last, kicked his shin lightly and lowered his voice:

"Don't giggle, kid! This isn't a joke! Remember, no matter what happens, don't act impulsively—these guys will really shoot to kill!"

Wang Yanbing had no doubt about Liu Xiaotian's words.

After all, the dark muzzles were right there—who would believe they wouldn't fire? But Liu Xiaotian's remark seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

He immediately realized that Liu Xiaotian didn't seem intent on becoming a prisoner.

At one, one look `none, one mistaken version%!'

A total of nine smoke grenades were thrown out in succession, leaving no one visible within a ten-meter radius.

Moreover, thanks to Jiaweis's precise calculations, the noises he made during the whole process were minimal, attracting no one's attention.

However, he didn't continue fleeing far away; instead, he hid in the tree from his last move, observing the Scorpion group's movements through the dense foliage.

After searching repeatedly for nearly half an hour with no results, a hint of gravity and worry flashed in Xiezi's eyes; he glanced at his watch and led his people in retreat.

Before disembarking, he deliberately left his backpack in the cabin; after the smoke enveloped the helicopter, he quietly returned, took out the rope inside, shouldered his backpack, climbed onto the rotorcraft, and then climbed up the large tree he had already marked.

Although the current situation deviates considerably from the "script," this point will certainly not change.

By the time he emerged from the smoke-covered area, it was already the fifth large tree.

For a moment, the entire area around the helicopter was shrouded in white smoke.

Xiezi's face changed in the distance; he immediately ordered his men to bring the already-controlled soldiers up the slope, while the others surrounded the helicopter outside the smoke, holding fire and waiting for the smoke to clear.

Before jumping down, Liu Xiaotian had already released the smoke grenade whose pin had been pulled; the two landed almost simultaneously.

Because the smoke showed no sign of dissipating; instead, it became thicker than before and continued to spread.

Using such a huge "cheat" now seems wasteful—could he be saving it for New Year fireworks? According to Jiaweis's hint, the rope Liu Xiaotian flung could precisely snag a neighboring tree, allowing him to swiftly shift to another.

Liu Xiaotian lightly nodded, said nothing, but quietly pulled the pin on a smoke grenade and gripped it in his hand; with both hands he lifted the AK-103 that hadn't yet been fired over his head, and was the last to walk out of the cabin.

As for those trees, the nearest are spaced four or five meters apart—no monkey could hop between them, but Liu Xiaotian can! Moreover, he's fast, even not slower than a monkey's movements.

Furthermore, if he really went on a killing spree here and wiped out all these soldiers, would the fearless Warrior School let him just walk away?

From that moment on, he prepared himself for a counterattack.

The dense canopy not only provided cover but also let him shift position using sturdy branches, then swing to a neighboring tree with the rope.

Although Xiezi was somewhat worried, he remained calm, ordering his men to keep retreating while expanding the perimeter and staying alert. In his view, as long as the person in the smoke hadn't grown wings, he definitely couldn't fly out.

He chose this moment mainly out of concern for the safety of the other soldiers.

One must admit, Xiezi is very smart and also extremely composed.

But with so many guns outside the cabin, could he possibly escape?

He knew that if they fired randomly at the helicopter, the gunfire might reveal their position—leaving that aside, what if they hit the fuel tank? These people probably wouldn't get away at all.

That's why Liu Xiaotian dared to take such a risk.

As the smoke began to spread, he suddenly stepped up, raised his knee, and slammed it hard into the crotch of the unlucky guy who had just taken his AK-103 and was about to use a "strangle-the-dog" move to bind his hands behind his back. Without waiting for the guy's reaction, Liu Xiaotian grabbed the AK-103, swiftly moved to the rear, ducked under the helicopter more than a meter above the ground, and quickly flung out two smoke grenades in succession.

Because according to the script, Xiezi intended to recruit He Chen Guang and Cha Cai for himself.

"Xiaotian, don't act recklessly—it's too dangerous!"

Liu Xiaotian knew Xiezi was an ambitious man who never wanted to be manipulated, but his own strength and ability were insufficient to oppose those people, so he had always followed orders.

Standing there quietly, how long would the smoke grenades last? Once the smoke cleared, could the people inside still burrow into the ground? But after a dozen seconds, Xiezi began to feel uneasy.

It turned out that before leaving the cabin, while talking with Wang Yanbing, Liu Xiaotian had taken the three smoke grenades from his own person and the three from He Chen Guang.

When he came down, the others had already been subdued; as long as they didn't resist, Liu Xiaotian was certain Xiezi wouldn't order gunfire.

The smoke grenades have a delay of about four seconds; after landing, just as he obediently handed over his gun—precisely when the opposition's vigilance was most relaxed—the white smoke began to rapidly spread.

After hearing Liu Xiaotian's words, He Chen Guang turned his head and glanced at him.

Li Erniu, walking ahead, also urged: "Xiaotian, Chen Guang is right—I know you're capable, but it's too dangerous; don't take risks!"

His six or seven subordinates guarded the cabin door; each time someone jumped out, someone would step forward to confiscate their weapons and search them.

Can't see? That doesn't matter—isn't there Jiaweis?

By the time the smoke from the nine grenades had fully dissipated and Xiezi's men began carefully searching the damaged transport helicopter that had made an emergency landing, Liu Xiaotian was already three hundred meters away.

He Chen Guang lowered his voice and said.

Xiezi wore a red triangular scarf on his face, looking somewhat like a woman's garment, standing far away and silently watching this side.

Because he knew that after losing contact with the Action Team, the Warrior School would definitely send people to check, and this time he would have no further chance to interfere with their electronic equipment and signals.

In other words, setting an ambush again is now impossible.

If he delayed any longer, this ambush would lose its meaning.

However, before leaving, Xiezi still left two people hidden near the aircraft, telling them that if after twenty minutes they still found nothing, they should withdraw immediately…
