Chapter 998 - 995: A Fight to the Death
"Charge!" A group of people swiftly rushed out from their cover. They braved the hail of bullets from the Americans.
Shrek hid in the command room, watching as Fire Fox's people madly charged forward. Yet, ultimately, they fell like grass, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sinister smile as he said, "Very good, just like that. Strike until none of you are left, then let's see what you have to use against me!"
Silver Fox finally realized that this strategy was somewhat off. She hurriedly ordered a retreat into cover.
However, at this moment, only thirty or so out of over a hundred remained. A touch of desolation filled Silver Fox's heart; she was deeply saddened and always felt unbearable grief and sorrow. She never expected that one wrong decision could cost so many brothers their lives.
"Leader, we must retreat." A nearby warrior urgently crawled over, panting heavily, and brushing the dirt off his head, he said, "We can't keep fighting them."
"No!" Silver Fox shook her head and said, "It's too late to retreat now. Retreat or not, we'll still die; we might as well go all out with them."
"Leader, the enemy has us surrounded, and they're more familiar with this terrain than we are!" the nearby warrior quickly said, "We can die, but you must not. The Fire Fox Organization still needs you to lead it. Without you, Fire Fox cannot survive."
"Don't worry." Silver Fox shook her head and said, "Even if I'm not here, there will be someone to lead Fire Fox. So you don't need to worry."
"But, the brothers are willing to follow only you," the soldier said seriously.
"Nonsense." Silver Fox pushed back the hair on her forehead and said seriously, "Listen carefully, Fire Fox does not belong to me alone, but to the whole world. I'm just the temporary leader of Fire Fox; in the future, there will be someone more excellent and talented to take on this position."
"Yes!" The soldier lowered his head, although he submitted, it was only superficially. In his heart, he remained loyal to Silver Fox.
At this time, the Americans ceased fire, and Shrek shouted through a loudspeaker, "Silver Fox, just surrender."
"Don't even think about it!" Silver Fox shouted, "There's no way I will surrender, stop dreaming your impossible dreams."
"Haha, you're already surrounded, and most of your people are dead," Shrek sneered, "So don't think you can leave here. If you continue to resist, it can only lead to your death."
"That's still better than surrendering!" Silver Fox sneered.
Shrek frowned, squinting his eyes, now somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.
"Storm them!" Shrek shouted.
Bam bam...
Suddenly, the snipers in the darkness played a crucial role. The American snipers were significantly formidable. With two crisp sounds, two of the warriors beside Silver Fox fell immediately, their heads exploding on the spot.
"Fire at will!" Silver Fox roared.
Suppressive fire, all firepower focused on the sniper's position. In such circumstances, the snipers were the greatest threat. So, Silver Fox couldn't allow the enemy any chance to open fire.
Unfortunately, the opposing sniper had already changed positions, relocating elsewhere.
The sniper's mouth curled into a sinister smile as he gripped his gun, the infrared scope already locking onto the target.
Bam bam!
Two more crisp sounds, and two Fire Fox soldiers dropped immediately. The sniper quickly lay low, rolling swiftly towards a corner, then slid down the stairs.
Silver Fox was furious. Watching the warriors around her fall one by one made her intensely angry.
"Kill them!" Silver Fox knew that today there seemed no way to leave, so since they were already here, they might as well fight to the death with them.
Subsequently, Silver Fox immediately led people to charge fiercely towards the enemy.
This was a spirit willing to die; Silver Fox completely disregarded life and death. Moreover, not wanting to appear fearful, she led her people towards the strongest part of the enemy. The corner of Silver Fox's mouth lifted into a calm smile.
Bang...
Suddenly, a bullet struck her abdomen.
Splurt...
A spurt of blood rained down as Silver Fox immediately collapsed, her entire body lying on the ground, soon tumbling over. The person fell heavily.
"Ah!" Silver Fox exclaimed.
"Leader!" Several soldiers rapidly rushed over.
Clattering...
At this moment, the American soldiers swarmed from behind, dozens of guns immediately aimed at the Fire Fox members.
Shrek pushed through the crowd and walked out, calmly smiling before saying, "Silver Fox, in the end, you still lost to me, how about it?"
"You!" Silver Fox clenched her teeth.
"Heh heh..." Shrek chuckled and said, "Men, take them away."
Clatter...
Over a dozen soldiers immediately stepped forward to tie everyone up, including Silver Fox, who was handcuffed with military cuffs. Moreover, everyone was securely bound with ropes, leaving no room for problems.
Silver Fox roared angrily, "Let me go, you bastard, let me go."
Shrek coldly chuckled and then said, "Silver Fox, you really have some guts to dare attack us. You must be tired of living and want to meet your maker!"
"Let me go," Silver Fox shouted.
"Take them all back," Shrek waved his hand.
Soon after, a group of people immediately took the Fire Fox members away,
while Shrek and his men started clearing the battlefield. The bodies of the Fire Fox personnel were dumped onto a truck. Finally, soldiers drove the truck out of the suburban area, poured gasoline, burned, and then buried them. Silver Fox was locked in a room, while the other soldiers were confined in a dungeon.
Shrek entered the room with two soldiers, staring coldly at Silver Fox, "Silver Fox, this time you really messed up."
"So what?" Silver Fox snorted, "You're allowed to attack our territory, but my men are not allowed to fight back?"
"You!" Shrek was taken aback. He was aware of the recent situation in the Middle East where cleansing operations had begun in the UAE, affecting not just Fire Fox but other armed forces as well. Fire Fox had a considerable presence in the UAE but had been utterly routed. Shrek smiled and said, "That's our business. It has nothing to do with you."
"But your people attacked us," Silver Fox sneered.
"So what?" Shrek disdainfully said, "We're the world's police. Any criminal should be dealt with."
"Says who?" Silver Fox said, "Who made you the world's police?"
Shrek snorted and said, "Silver Fox, you must realize this world settles things with fists, not with words. Whoever has the tougher fists gets to call the shots. If you don't even have the right to speak, what right do you have to stand your ground? Since you've been hit, you should just be a turtle hiding in its shell,"
"You bastard!" Silver Fox roared.
Shrek laughed heartily.
Just as Shrek was laughing, a soldier rushed in hastily and shouted, "Colonel, Lin Chuan is here with his men."
Shrek's laughter abruptly stopped, his expression twisted with embarrassment as he said, "What... what did you say?"
"I said, Lin Chuan is here with his men," the soldier quickly replied.
Upon hearing this, Shrek hurriedly said, "Quick, assemble all forces immediately, and don't let Lin Chuan and his men in."
"Yes!" The soldier nodded immediately.
Subsequently, the United States soldiers swiftly assembled and arranged defenses all around. Watchtowers and fortresses were ready. Lin Chuan and his men had already gathered at the camp's main entrance. Standing on top of a vehicle, Lin Chuan shouted, "Shrek, get your ass out here."
The sun was high, revealing chaos, ruins, and black smoke within the camp, evident of a fierce battle having just ended. With one look, Lin Chuan figured the battle was basically over, and Silver Fox's lack of news indicated she had been captured.
Shrek walked out from the camp, smiling, "Lin Chuan, you've come?"
"Shrek, release Silver Fox," Lin Chuan said.
"Release her?" Shrek was stunned and said, "That's impossible!"
"Why?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Because she killed a lot of my soldiers," Shrek sneered, "so I must escort her back to our country to face trial."
"This is Afghan soil, why should she face American legal punishment?" Lin Chuan contemptuously glanced at Shrek and said, "Remember, if you dare to harm her even a hair, I'll tear you to pieces."
"Haha..." Shrek laughed heartily, "Lin Chuan, don't tease me. I wasn't brought up on jokes. I tell you, we haven't settled the score from the last Anersen Prison incident. Now that you've come to us, let's settle both accounts together."
"Haha..." Lin Chuan laughed out loud, "You lost last time, blame your own incompetence."
A sinister smile appeared on Shrek's lips, "Lin Chuan, you're not escaping this time."
"Oh?" Lin Chuan smirked, "Are you thinking of hosting me here for a few days?"
Clatter...
At this moment, over a hundred U.S. soldiers swiftly moved out.
At the same time, Lin Chuan had already noticed snipers on the rooftops and movement in several watchtowers and fortresses along the walls. It seemed the opponent was well-prepared. If he engaged directly, he would be at a disadvantage, so Lin Chuan decided to take a step back first.
"What? Are you declaring war on me?" Lin Chuan retorted.
"That's right." Shrek nodded.
