the fight was hardly challenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After happily hanging up the phone, Gao Yang said over the radio, “Guys, latest update, our enemy is just a small force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although we’re not yet clear on the exact number, we can be sure they don’t have the capability to surround us, so there’s no need to widen our reconnaissance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Head back to camp and prepare to move the injured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there wouldn’t be any danger, the temporary camp was already compromised, a change in location was definitely needed; it just wasn’t urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest was just a matter of details: assign people to carry the wounded, take the indispensable items, discard everything that’s non-essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time everyone from the lookout posts returned, the preparations for movement would be nearly complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just an order, they could leave at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy force on the cliff couldn’t come down, and Gao Yang had no intention of going up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither side fired any more shots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a standoff of over half an hour, Gao Yang suspected that the people on the cliff might have already retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Gao Yang had the patience to keep waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to know why they were attacked by a unit, but more importantly, he wanted to completely eliminate the threat from this unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, although moving wouldn’t be too difficult, having an ever-present tail was hardly ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After not too much time had passed, Li Jinfang came to Gao Yang with a directional mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Gao Yang, Jinfang whispered, “Brother Yang, everyone from the lookout posts has pulled back and is on standby at camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything is packed up, and anything that could identify us has been destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re ready to go whenever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded and said, “Let’s wait for more news to see what Uriyangko says.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We should be able to leave for good today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, it’d be best to just make a clean getaway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curtis, I don’t want to stay in this godforsaken place for another day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang silently aimed his gun down the slope and murmured, “Brother Yang, what did Uriyangko say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After we leave the jungle, are we heading straight for America, or what’s the plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang shook his head, “Don’t know yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll see how they arrange things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d like to go straight to America, but that’s kind of difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can’t dump our guns, and it’s not realistic to take a commercial flight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not sure if Little Donnie can arrange something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll discuss it when we meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as we can leave the jungle, anywhere is fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang thought for a bit, then whispered, “If we can leave directly, are we going to do that, or are we going to seek revenge before we go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We weren’t involved this time, but Frey and Lucica got hurt so badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are we going for revenge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang replied solemnly, “Revenge is a must, but we can’t rush it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s wait until everyone’s wounds heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And don’t worry too much about it; Ivan’s been itching for revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s far more ruthless than us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, you know, revenge is something you’ve got to do yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I plan to wait and see when Ivan is going to make a move, then we’ll join him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frey took a bullet for me this time; I’ll feel bad if I don’t get payback for that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang nodded repeatedly, “Right, Frey, that kid, sigh, what a guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we get back, we’ll really treat him well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve got to thank him properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang curiously asked, “I should be the one to thank him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you thanking him for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang shook his head, “Nothing, don’t worry about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s talk later; now’s not the time for chatting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having waited a while, the sun climbed higher and the temperature also rose significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang looked through the scope again and said, “The temperature is getting higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My thermal imager needs a substantial temperature difference to identify targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the sun goes any higher, the thermal imager will be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the thermal imager fully fails, that’s when we will pull out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Gao Yang whispered into the radio, “Prince, is your thermal imager still working?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me know when yours stops working.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric sounded puzzled over the radio, “Stop working?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would it stop working?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have new batteries, so you don’t need to worry about the thermal imager failing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang was even more perplexed and asked, “If the ambient temperature rises, making it close to the human body’s temperature, can the thermal imager still detect the target?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric chuckled and replied, “Buddy, unless the background temperature is the same as the human body temperature, the thermal imager won’t fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that scenario is impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it doesn’t matter if the background temperature is higher than the body temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans are endotherms; as long as there is a difference between the human body and background temperatures, even if it’s lower than the background temperature, you can still differentiate the human target.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang felt like he and Eric were talking at cross-purposes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood the principles that Eric was explaining, but the problem was that the small thermal imager attached to his gun wasn’t that powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, distinguishing a warm human body against a cooler background was easy, but in a high-temperature environment, identifying a cooler human body required a significantly more capable infrared thermal imager, and such devices were too big to mount on a gun realistically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, Gao Yang thought that the only possibility was that the thermal imager Eric used was better than his and could be used in all weather conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own thermal imager worked best at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both were used to their own thermal imagers, which was why they found each other’s statements somewhat puzzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang thought the same, and he said to Gao Yang in a serious tone, “Brother Yang, your thermal imager isn’t a piece of junk either, but why do I feel like yours is not as good as Prince’s?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shall I go and check out what he’s using?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded repeatedly and said, “Go take a look at what model of thermal imager he’s using.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also think that what he’s using is better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t leave here right now, so go check it out for me first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang quickly left, and after a few minutes, he returned at a brisk pace, but with a frustrated look on his face he said, “Brother Yang, I checked, and his thermal imager is just a bit bigger than yours, but there isn’t a single letter on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t make out the brand or model at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Rabbit went to see as well, and he couldn’t figure it out either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang replied irritably, “If you can’t figure it out, just ask him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not like it’s a secret he’d refuse to reveal, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang’s face creased with worry as he said, “I asked, and it’s not that he’s unwilling to say it — it’s that he simply doesn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince said that Nate bought it for him, and never told them the model or brand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He claims he doesn’t know, although whether that’s true or not is another matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang smacked his lips and said, “It’s definitely not a common product; that’s the good stuff that Nate got his hands on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll ask Nate, but I’m worried he might not be willing to tell or even if he does, we still might not be able to get it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s entirely possible, just like my gun barrel; what good is money if there’s no place to buy it from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, we need to figure out a way to get a clear answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heck, I’ve decided, I need to figure out how to swipe Prince’s thermal imager!” (To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy this work, I invite you to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your support is my greatest motivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)\u003C\u002Fp>",1379,"2026-06-06T10:19:56.351Z",1,"novelbin.me","be46b3f62fe3ae6db1a0888aaf91c2a0759721fcf5f6bf9a20bd52ad79f32558","mercenary-s-war-chapter-529","mercenary-s-war-chapter-527",2343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmercenary-s-war-cover.jpg"]
