Chapter 446: Wrong Script
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“3, 2, 1…action!” As Feng Xuan shouted the command, several bundles of tumbleweeds were blown by the wind machine slowly across the desert. Loud gunshots were heard.
“Get down! Look for cover!” the team leader shouted, not caring for his own safety.
In the face of a sudden attack by armed criminals from beyond the border, a squad of border control armed police officers remained composed under threat. They listened to the command of the squad leader and swiftly dropped to the ground, looking for cover. Upon receiving their owners’ order, a few dogs bought by these officers also lied down.
“Eagle! Eagle! This is Eaglet, we are under attack, the enemy’s identity is unknown, their firepower is strong, request for support!” the officer hid behind a rock, picked up the walkie-talkie, and requested support from the higher authorities. He kept adjusting the knob, yet only the rustling noise of the electrostatic was heard. “Squad leader! The radio has been interfered with and we can’t get in touch with the superiors!” the officer shouted with all his might.
The squad leader was surprised. They had been tracking a group of unidentified suspicious people to this deserted place. Communications were disturbed, the supplies they were carrying were insufficient, and their vehicles had been disabled by the enemies. The odds would be stacked against them should the situation continue this way.
“Keep contacting them!” the squad leader commanded, unable to think of a solution.
“Yes!” The officer immediately executed the command, “Eagle! Eagle! This is Eaglet, we are under attack…”
“Squad leader! Gao Mao has been shot!” someone shouted.
An officer was shot in the shoulder, and the blood pack under his uniform burst, squirting and spraying blood on the ground, covering a thin layer of snow. He quivered twice, turned over and fell to the ground. His comrades immediately went to him and held him in their arms.
A piercing cold struck the heart of the squad leader. “Medic!” he shouted.
“Yes!” Carrying medical aid boxes, the medic of the armed police, whose uniform bore the red cross logo on the shoulder, hunched and rushed towards the injured officer. He tore the cloth on the officer’s shoulder to see the injury, and deftly applied local anesthesia. He took out the shrapnel with tweezers, then disinfected and bandaged the wounds.
The number of the enemies was at least twice as many as the armed police. With the absence of heavy weaponry on both sides, the armed police, with fewer people, had been suppressed by the firepower of the enemies. One officer after another was injured and forced to stop fighting. The situation continued to deteriorate.
“Squad leader! What are we going to do?” The protagonist played by Lin Feng rolled on the ground and lied next to the squad leader, asking for instructions.
The squad leader was biting his lip. His face was smeared with ash, snowflakes, and the dirt stirred up by bullets. His black and white eyes were full of fury and anxiety. This was his squad, he was responsible for the life of the entire squad.
The word “comeback” constantly popped into his mouth, but he repeatedly gulped it down. They were disadvantaged in terms of the number of people, their vehicles were broken, and some officers were hurt. How could they make a comeback? They’d be killed if they tried to make a comeback, but they’d also die if they continued to be trapped there! It was even more impossible to retreat. With wounded soldiers, the enemies would soon catch up!
“Squad leader, I have an idea!” Lin Feng said as he crouched behind the pile of stones and fired a few shots at the other side.
“Save the bullets!” ordered the squad leader to the whole squad. He reckoned that they did not have much ammunition left. He loudly asked Lin Feng, “What is it?”
“Let Lightning and the other dogs sneak out from the side and launch a surprise attack, then we coordinate with them and charge forward. This is the only way for us to survive!” Lin Feng firmly said as he gestured with his hands.
His idea was very bold. The squad leader was hesitant. “Will it work?”
“It will work! It must work!” Lin Feng wiped his face. “Squad leader, we cannot afford to wait! We are in the inferior position in terms of people and firepower, our only advantage is that we have these police dogs with us!”
Kacha Kacha! The sound of the empty cartridge came. Shots were fired.
“Who else has a bullet? I’m out of bullets!” someone shouted.
“Here! Take mine!” the wounded officer who could still move threw him a magazine.
With the precious bullets, the rifle spit the slender flames again, but it couldn’t hold on for too much longer. In the face of such a critical situation, the squad leader was so anxious that his face turned red. He waved to Lin Feng and issued an order! “F**k those motherf**kers!”
“Yes!” Lin Feng threw himself next to Famous and the two police dogs, and brought them to the side of the battlefield. He ordered them to creep forward and carry out the sneak attack.
“Squad leader! I need cover!” Lin Feng shouted.
The squad leader shouted, “Attention, everyone! Smoke bombs!”
All non-wounded soldiers temporarily stopped shooting. They pulled out the smoke bombs they’d been carrying, exhausting all efforts to throw the bombs forward! A few smoke bombs drew beautiful parabolas in the air and fell close to the enemy’s position. The hissing white smoke soon blocked the view of both sides. The armed police officers, who had nearly run out of ammunition and food supplies, had finally gained some breathing room. Using this opportunity, they collected the remaining ammunition for redistribution. At this time, Lin Feng also ordered the three German Shepherds, “Go!”
Famous, Red Dragon, and Prince jumped out from the piles of stones, and with the aid of the smoke bombs and tumbleweeds, they quietly snuck over to the enemies.
Outside the set, directors, producers, and the crew were all attentively watching this scene. The cinematographers were using the cameras to follow the three dogs and shoot close-up images.
Pushed by the gentle breeze, the billowing smoke enveloped Famous and the other two dogs. In the wild grass, Famous and the two police dogs lowered their bodies to trot forward, but when they came to the open area with no wild grass, they would creep forward.
Blown away by the wind, the smoke gradually became sparse. At the command of the squad leader, the armed police threw smoke bombs again. Another few smoke bombs landed in the center of the battlefield. The remnants of the first round of smoke hadn’t been diffused completely, merging with the smoke of the second round round of smoke bombs. The smoke had blurred their field of vision, and Famous and the two police dogs were practically crossing a field covered with dense fog.
Intense movement made Famous breathless. Its physical strength was draining at an exceptionally fast speed, and its body felt exceptionally heavy. Suddenly, the scenery in front of it looked as though it was behind a layer of glass. It strenuously squeezed its eyes but to no avail.
“Famous!” It seemed to have heard Zhang Zian calling its name and it was a little anxious. No! you’ve got my name wrong! I’m Lightning now, not Famous! The director will certainly blame you if we have to reshoot this scene!
Wait a minute. Zhang Zian was not an actor, why was he shouting? Wasn’t he interfering with the shoot? Famous was a bit confused, it looked sideways. The smoke was too thick to see Zhang Zian. His voice seemed to have come from heaven.
Thump! A strange noise came from behind it. The sound of Red Dragon who had been following it was gone, and Prince seemed to have been left far behind. What happened? Were they so tired after having run a short distance? This was totally inconsistent with their usual tough performance. Should it complete the task, or turn around to check on the safety of its comrades?
Famous hesitated for a moment and decided to look back. It stopped and turned around, only to find that Red Dragon had collapsed in the wild grass, and that Prince was also faltering.
Why? The script wasn’t like this…
