Chapter 223 - 219: Capture of Prisoners
Zhao Qiang observed with a telescope-style night-vision device before turning back. He looked in the direction Panxin indicated and said, "The other side doesn’t have night-vision equipment, but they’re still headed in the right direction, which means they’re familiar with this area and must have spotted us during the day."
After another round of observation with the night-vision device, Zhao Qiang whispered, "Just six people, as expected. So, how should we deal with them?"
Having said that, Zhao Qiang handed the night-vision device to Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan took it and said with surprise, "Are you asking me?"
"Yes, you’re the captain after all."
Gao Yuan raised the night-vision device to his eyes. After looking for a while, he asked, "How can you tell if they have night-vision equipment or not?"
Panxin stood next to Gao Yuan and said, "You can tell by their walking posture. If they can see the road, they would walk smoothly and quickly. Their pace is noticeably slower than normal, which is enough to tell they don’t have night-vision equipment since they’re not using flashlights either."
The answer was so simple, yet from such a distance, how could one tell whether their speed was fast or slow? That had to be judged based on personal experience, and asking was pointless.
Gao Yuan put down the night-vision device and said, "So what do we do? Let me think, take them out?"
Panxin and Zhao Qiang remained silent. Gao Yuan said in frustration, "You two must be enjoying watching me make a fool of myself, right? How would I know what to do? The easiest thing is to kill them, but can we really do that?"
Zhao Qiang thought for a moment and said, "It’s best to capture them alive and find out what they’re up to. We’re exposed now, and it wouldn’t be good to stir up any trouble."
