Chapter 56: Blade Squad Requests to Strike!

Very soon, Qin Feng stepped forward. He was the first to do so. "Reporting, Qin Feng requests permission to carry out the mission."

Immediately after, four others also stepped out.

"Reporting, Liang Xiaoyu requests permission to carry out the mission," said Liang Xiaoyu. He was a special forces soldier known to Zhang Cheng, a steadfast and resilient man.

"Reporting, Mo Zhuofan requests permission to carry out the mission." A tall and slender young man stood forward, eyes sharp and spirited. This was Mo Zhuofan, a person of unwavering character.

"Reporting, Liu Xiaosheng requests permission to carry out the mission," Liu Xiaosheng declared, stepping out. His thick, sword-shaped eyebrows and round face gave him a look of strict seriousness.

"Reporting, Lin Yun requests permission to carry out the mission." Lin Yun stepped out, his demeanor radiating humor and wit. He seemed clever and interesting, a man whose sunny and cheerful personality brought a sense of charm and lightness.

"Very good, all of you are commendable. Though you're part of the rookie squad, you have the courage to volunteer for this mission—praiseworthy indeed. However, you must not rely on reckless bravery alone. Consider the real situation, aim to rescue the hostages, and defeat those drug traffickers. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" the five men replied in unison, their voices loud and resolute. They knew this was the captain's expression of trust in them.

"This mission is arduous, and I hope you can accomplish it. Your team leader this time is Su Yun, your sniper instructor. She has combat experience and will be your captain for this mission. You will follow her orders. Is that clear?" the captain barked.

"Understood!" the five replied loudly. They realized this would be a tough task, but no matter how challenging, they would see it through.

"You are a newly formed team. Now, name your squad. Due to time constraints, you have one minute," the captain said, looking at the five.

"Blade Squad." "Sword Squad." "Flying Dragon Squad." "Fierce Eagle Squad." "Divine Sword Squad."

The five of them quickly discussed among themselves and soon settled on Blade Squad. They admired Qin Feng, knowing his abilities surpassed any of theirs, and his suggestion for the name Blade Squad was excellent.

"Captain, we'll be Blade Squad," Qin Feng announced loudly, voicing the team's decision.

"Blade unsheathed, striking straight at the enemy’s heart. A fine name," the captain remarked, clearly satisfied with their choice.

"Blade Squad requests permission to deploy," Qin Feng called out, feeling that their new squad had the strength and spirit to fight and complete the mission.

"Approved," the captain responded.

"Thank you for your trust, Captain," Qin Feng said, saluting him.

"Blade Squad, prepare to depart. Within five minutes, you must leave Tiger Special Operations Base. All mission details and information are on the transport helicopter—you'll have time to review en route. The situation is urgent. Depart immediately!" the captain ordered.

At his command, the five began making preparations.

"Qin Feng, head straight to the airfield. All gear is already on the transport helicopter—no need to visit the armory," Su Yun said as she approached.

"Understood," Qin Feng replied, and quickly ran toward the helicopter, with Liang Xiaoyu, Mo Zhuofan, Liu Xiaosheng, and Lin Yun close behind.

"Su Yun, remember, you must rescue the hostages and complete the mission," the captain said to her directly.

"Rest assured, I will guarantee the hostages’ safety. I am from the Special Forces, and I will complete the mission," Su Yun replied solemnly, understanding the gravity of her responsibility.

"Good. I'll await your good news," the captain replied. Su Yun nodded and sprinted toward the transport helicopter.

Three minutes later, the helicopter lifted off from Tiger Special Operations Base, heading southwest at great speed. Every second was precious as they raced toward the mission site.

Aboard the helicopter, Su Yun read through the mission dossier carefully before addressing her team. "This helicopter is fast. I estimate we’ll reach the mission site in about fifteen minutes if there are no surprises. That means we have only a quarter of an hour to prepare. Everyone, get ready."

Her voice was calm and focused. As a member of the Special Forces, Su Yun possessed extensive combat experience. She knew the key to success was understanding both themselves and the enemy—only then could they achieve victory.

Qin Feng, Liang Xiaoyu, Mo Zhuofan, Liu Xiaosheng, and Lin Yun turned to Su Yun, listening in silence. They understood that mastering the details was essential to fighting effectively and fulfilling their mission.

"Our target is located in Hua City, specifically in a commercial skyscraper in the city’s prosperous Flower Sea Plaza district. This is one of Hua City’s busiest business zones, teeming with high-end professionals and bustling with commercial and residential activity. The daily foot traffic is immense.

"According to intelligence from our comrades in the Armed Police, the unidentified group consists of nine men, each armed—three pistols, three submachine guns, and three rifles. Their firepower is formidable.

"Though the Armed Police and local forces are doing their best to evacuate civilians, the sheer volume of people makes a complete evacuation nearly impossible. The situation is dire, and we must give it our all if we hope to succeed," Su Yun concluded, her expression grave. She knew the gravity of this mission, but regardless of the dangers, their duty was to see it through.

"If we’re going to act, we must strike quickly and take them out in one move," Qin Feng said, sensing that a swift, decisive assault was necessary. If the enemy realized their intentions, they might harm the hostages or unleash chaos in the surrounding commercial district.

"Exactly," Su Yun nodded.

"Captain, are we authorized to eliminate them outright?" Liang Xiaoyu asked. With Su Yun now their leader, they addressed her as such, well aware of her formidable reputation.

"Yes," Su Yun affirmed. In dealing with the enemy, hesitation was a risk. Mercy toward the enemy was cruelty to themselves.

"Captain, tell us the specifics so we can prepare thoroughly," Mo Zhuofan requested, eager to understand the situation in detail, for only then could they execute the mission to the best of their abilities.
