Chapter 333: Chapter 236: Ghost Kill (First Update)

Night had fallen on Luyuan Street, silent but for the lingering scent of blood around the noses of those present.

Stationed on this street were three hundred men from the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment, under the Sixth Infantry Division of the Chan Country Army.

Also present was the Seventh Tank Platoon from the First Armored Brigade, which consisted of four tanks and two armored infantry vehicles.

These soldiers had not relaxed their vigilance with the arrival of night; on the contrary, they became even more tense and serious.

This was because Luyuan Street had always been a key area of contention between Chan Country and the Jieke Group. Many fierce battles broke out on this street, and control of the area frequently changed hands.

Many of these battles erupted at night when, despite having night vision and thermal imaging, armored units were severely limited in their field of vision. In an urban environment, they were often destroyed by infantry that managed to approach them unnoticed.

“It’s one in the morning. Has the Jieke Group given up on attacking tonight?”

Wu Taemin, the commander of the Chan Country Army units stationed on Luyuan Street, muttered to himself, sitting in a room that had been cleared out, feeling no urge to sleep.

“Camp Commander Wu, could it be that the Jieke Group has deemed the casualties too high and decided it’s not worth it, so they’ve simply given up?”

The Deputy Camp Commander spoke up; they had recently taken over the watch, and the previous Chan Country troops stationed on Luyuan Street had been left decimated and forced to withdraw for rest.

In the Deputy Camp Commander’s view, the attacking side in an urban battle was bound to suffer losses. It was understandable that the Jieke Group, with fewer troops, would be reluctant to continue the attrition on Luyuan Street.

“It’s possible, then it seems we’ve picked up an easy job.”

Wu Taimin chuckled and sighed with relief inwardly.

The combat effectiveness of the Jieke Group’s troops, particularly those of the Super Soldiers, was something he had experienced firsthand.

Especially at night, they would emerge like ghosts, often inflicting crushing defeats on the Chan Country Army.

If they could take over Luyuan Street without a fight, it would undoubtedly be good news for Wu Talai.

As the two discussed, unbeknownst to them, the true attacking force had already neared their position that very night.

…

In the corner of a partially collapsed building, a big-bearded soldier was crouched down for a pit stop.

In the darkness, the Chan Country big-bearded soldier cursed while squatting, saying, “What the hell is logistics sending us – is this stuff even edible? They dine on delicacies every day up there, while we risk our lives down here eating this dry food. Not a single hot meal to help my upset stomach.”

After emptying his intestines, the big-bearded soldier shook his trousers, picked up the rifle at his feet, and turned to head back to his position, when suddenly, a flash of green caught the corner of his eye.

What!

The big-bearded soldier tilted his head in surprise when he realized the green light was actually a pair of eyes, which gave him quite a start.

“What the hell, a wild cat? Running around like crazy in the middle of the night.”

The big-bearded soldier mumbled to himself, assuming it was the eyes of a wild dog or cat, which can indeed glow green at night.

He didn’t think much of it and headed back to his infantry squad with his rifle.

But after just a few steps, he suddenly heard synchronized footsteps behind him as if someone was following.

“Who’s there? Who’s that?”

The big-bearded soldier quickly turned around, but saw nothing.

Even the green eyes he had just seen had disappeared.

Faint moonlight fell from the sky, and visibility was quite good that night. For some reason, as the big-bearded soldier looked at his empty surroundings, a sense of unease unsettled him, and his mind filled with all sorts of terrifying rumors he had heard.

The so-called darkest hour is just before the dawn, a prime time for murder and arson.

In both Eastern and Western cultures, the night has always been associated with words like horror and terror.

Westerners imagined vampires, while Asians believed ghosts roamed at night.

At that moment, the big-bearded soldier couldn’t help but think of ghosts, and goosebumps sprouted on his arms.

Surrounded by moon shadowed buildings and roadside trees, and occasional gusts of wind stirring up strange noises, the big-bearded soldier’s legs trembled as he walked.

Subconsciously, the big-bearded soldier started to quicken his pace, wanting to run back to his infantry squad.

Almost as soon as the big-bearded soldier started to move, the eerie footsteps echoed synchronously behind him.

This time, the sound seemed even closer, as if barely a meter or two away.

The big-bearded soldier turned back in panic, still seeing nothing, but there was no mistake about the sound.

Hardly daring to breathe out, the big-bearded soldier was so frightened he felt like his heart, lodged in his throat, might fall out at any moment, and in sheer terror, he instinctively ran towards his comrades.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The footsteps grew nearer, almost sticking to his back, completely in sync with his own.

The abnormal heaviness of those footsteps, unlike those of any regular person, sounded like a small drum beating incessantly.

Cold air brushed his neck as if someone were breathing on it, driving the big-bearded soldier to the brink of hysteria.

“Don’t, don’t come any closer, stay away!”

The big-bearded soldier’s screams echoed far in the still environment, alerting nearby soldiers who readied their weapons vigilantly.

The infantry squad to which the soldier belonged also heard the commotion and then saw the big-bearded soldier running their way. The squad leader cursed, “Ah Sang, what the hell are you screaming about in the middle of the night? Have you lost your mind?”

“Squad leader, a ghost, there’s a ghost!”

The big-bearded soldier’s lips trembled, feeling a growing chill on his back, his whole body nearly freezing in place.

“You haven’t been drinking today! You’re out of your mind, demoralizing the troops, careful or I’ll beat you to death.”
