Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 701: Chapter 315: Completely Resolved

"Bian Shizhang is right, the immediate problem is how to deal with the assailants and find a way to rescue the remaining trapped Saudi and United States team members!"

Han Yue also saw the crux of the problem, so he grabbed Gu Ji’s shoulder and earnestly said:

"It’s clear that your combat experience is much richer than ours. For the forthcoming operation, the four of us will follow your arrangements completely!"

"Rest assured, Mr. Han, I will definitely lead everyone out safely."

As the core commander of the team, Gu Ji had to say some encouraging words to calm the panic in Zou Lei and Wang Yuexi, to stabilize morale.

But Zou Lei still found it hard to believe.

"Four people against more than a dozen armed assailants, how is that possible..."

"That’s why we need to act now, before those who were at the checkpoint join the rest of the attackers, we must take them out!"

"Divide and conquer, that sounds like a plan!"

After hearing Gu Ji’s tactics, Han Yue nodded thoughtfully.

"Xiao Jian!" Gu Ji called out, continuing to let Xiao Jian and another rescue dog lead the way, followed by him and Han Yue in positions 1 and 2, while Wang Yuexi and Zou Lei took on positions 3 and 4.

In the pitch-black mine tunnel.

Gu Ji turned the headlamp on his safety helmet to the lowest brightness, illuminating only a weak two or three-meter distance ahead, relying on the rescue dogs’ sense of smell to navigate.

Since he already knew those assailants at the checkpoint had fallen into the [Poison Needle Trap], their pace was particularly fast.

Fearful that the delay in time might cause the poison’s efficacy to diminish.

Fortunately, Xiao Jian’s nose was quite sharp, and combined with his good memory, it only took less than 5 minutes for them to circle back to the left-side tunnel at the checkpoint’s fork.

"Grr..."

At this time, the other rescue dog suddenly bared its teeth warningly, indicating it had smelled something.

Startling Han Yue and the others, thinking it was the Shaye Organization’s armed assailants, they immediately pressed on the trigger.

But Gu Ji remained much calmer, he immediately shut off the light source and followed the rescue dog slowly towards the target point. Upon reaching the corner, he suddenly sped up, moving along the corner’s curve, and quickly flicked on the tactical flashlight attached to his Type 56-2 rifle.

In an instant, the entire cave seemed to brighten as if it were daytime.

The reflection from the droplets of water on the walls exposed every corner of the cave clearly,

and Gu Ji distinctly saw numerous 3M reflections beneath a crag, surprisingly the trapped foreign rescue team members.

"Don’t! Don’t kill us!"

"Get down! Mr. Han, check their identities!" Gu Ji ignored their pleas and aimed his gun at them, while instructing Han Yue to go up for identification.

"Don’t be afraid, we are the rescue team from Xia Kingdom, here to save you."

Han Yue briefly explained the situation.

Upon learning that some of them had already been rescued, the four rescue team members immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Their wrists are all tied, they’ve been searched, and they have no weapons."

"Let them follow at the back of the team, and don’t make any noise." Gu Ji bypassed the hostages, continuing to have Xiao Jian lead the way.

Finally arriving at the checkpoint fork, Wang Yuexi and the others were shocked to hear the commotion inside, not understanding why these assailants remained in place.

It wasn’t until Gu Ji shot one dead that they reacted and started pulling their triggers.

All four Shaye assailants were neutralized.

"Search their weapons, check the ammunition, make it fast."

Gu Ji wasted no words, immediately rushing forward to search the bodies, replenishing the Type 56-2 rifle’s bullets.

Seeing the crisis averted, a brown-haired American rescue worker couldn’t help asking excitedly, "Can we leave the cave now?"

"Not yet, the exit is blocked, does anyone here know how to use a gun?"

"What!?"

Another Saudi rescue worker immediately widened his eyes and questioned, "Why didn’t you tell us sooner?"

"What difference does it make whether it’s sooner or later, do you have a way out?" Zou Lei instinctively retorted on behalf of Gu Ji, as they were trapped here to rescue these people.

Yet before he could say anything more, the hostages began to complain.

"Alright, this is not the time for arguments." Han Yue snapped.

This was when another bald middle-aged American raised his hand, "I served in the army before."

"I often go hunting with friends, maybe I can help!"

Unexpectedly, of the four rescued team members, two knew how to use firearms.

Gu Ji handed the AK47 rifles taken from the assailants to the two men, thus narrowing the combat personnel gap from 4 against 14 to 6 against 10, thereby increasing their chance of success.

He then pulled his phone out again, illuminating the cave map.

"Where were you captured from? Did you see any other armed assailants or rescue team members?"

"We were captured from a dead end here, the scene was chaotic when we tried to run in different directions, I think I saw the captain leading others towards the depths of the left-side mine. As for the assailants, we didn’t see them, we only heard gunshots continuously."

So a collapse had happened here, making it a dead end.

Gu Ji looked at where the hunting-inclined Saudi rescue worker pointed to.

Also because they hit a dead end, they were caught by the Shaye people so quickly. While being escorted towards the checkpoint, they overheard the gunshots from Gu Ji and the others killing those three assailants, prompting the three to rush back for reinforcements.

"The situation is not optimistic. Since this path is a dead end, and the left-side mine has few intersections, it’s unlikely the enemy is spread out significantly. We have to act quickly before they fully assess the situation and prepare, to catch them off guard."
