Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 676 - 626: Snow Domain Raid

Mountain Eagle guessed correctly, a Reaper drone was shot down on United States soil, causing an explosive impact.

The Department of Homeland Security was instantly overwhelmed, while the ground-based special forces and late-arriving ISA intelligence support team began encircling the mysterious squad.

However, the other side seemed very familiar with their operational mode and way of thinking, easily evading their search and blockade, and then all clues disappeared.

At this point, the head of the Department of Homeland Security was already furious...

The black guy at the White House was having a great fight with the Republican elders in Congress, and if Congress caught onto this and made a big fuss, it wouldn't just make the president look bad, but his own career might be hanging by a thread.

Glasman and the Merck Company representative staying in Marshall Town simultaneously faced unprecedented pressure.

The disappearance of the Ebola virus and vaccine was riddled with doubts from the beginning; previously, the Department of Homeland Security believed they still had the situation under control, so they turned a blind eye, but not anymore.

If Merck Company and Glanstrock Group don't show sincerity, the leader of the precarious Department of Homeland Security will definitely drag them down.

At this time, all messy little thoughts had to be put aside, and catching those two thieves quickly to confirm the whereabouts of the virus was the urgent task at hand.

And Mountain Eagle, in this atmosphere, used his speed advantage and spent a full twelve hours to get ahead of the target squad.

The goal of this group was to silence the thieves before they were caught, so they split into two teams, one watching the Homeland Security pursuit team, and the other also choosing to detour.

Mountain Eagle himself had no interest in the thieves, so he interpreted the actions of the target squad as an active counter-attack to escape, and assumed the virus and vaccine were with the 'heading to rendezvous' squad.

When the Alaska sun reached its highest point, Mountain Eagle stopped in a pine forest.

He dismantled the locks on the two cougars, quickly broke down the reindeer he hunted on the road, and threw the juiciest parts to the hardworking cougars and Balang.

The sled didn't need instructions; he took out his rain tarp, tied it between two big trees with paracord, and gave a simple tug above, making it a makeshift canopy and windbreak wall.

It blocked the falling snow from the sky and the cold wind from the Arctic direction.

Mountain Eagle sat on the leeward side of the windbreak wall, found a log to sit on, and took out two portable stoves, one for boiling water and one with a frying pan on it.

At this time, starting a fire was impossible, as all parties were within three to five kilometers of each other; once the smoke from the campfire was discovered, it would easily expose their whereabouts and even attract attacks.

The sled put the backpack on the ground and then sat down on it, looking at his boss's leisurely appearance, he thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I've seen some tracks in the snow, what are we going to do next?"

Mountain Eagle simply seasoned two pieces of reindeer meat with salt and pepper and put them in the frying pan, then smacked his lips and said, "I haven't quite figured it out...

The other side might be carrying a deadly virus, so our actions need to be especially cautious, otherwise being infected in a place like Alaska makes surviving a 38% mortality rate a bit difficult."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle pointed to his temple, and said, "After we eat, we'll loop around to the front of the target, but when attacking, either go for the head or think of other ways.

It's best to leave a few alive, I have some questions to ask..."

The sled sniffed near the frying pan and then grinned, saying, "Leave it to me, I will need two to three hours to set it up."

Saying this, the sled looked at the two cougars eating meat and said fondly, "With their help and Balang, we can definitely set up an ambush circle...

No need to fire guns, their seven people can be dealt with with a close range assault."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the snow on the ground, thought for a moment and said, "There's a herd of reindeer nearby, I can have Balang drive the reindeer to cover our tracks..."

The sled licked his dry lips and said, "No need to be too deliberate, experienced people can tell a reindeer herd's reaction, which might make them more alert...

I'll think of a way!"

......

Bald mercenary Feignan, wearing an outdoor thermal suit, carrying a waterproof backpack, held an HK416 rifle, leading six guys trudging through the snow.

Hearing gunshots from afar and his assistant Iverson sending signals over the radio, Feignan turned and shouted to his panting men, "Iverson engage the opponent, we need to speed up.

The two thieves can't run fast, we need to find them before they reach the coast..."

A mercenary with a frosty beard, unrecognizable, complained loudly: "Boss, those sons of bitches have no idea of the situation here...

Stuff got stolen, but it's not our fault, there must have been intelligence leaks which led them to get ahead of us.

This isn't our fault, why are we doing this crappy job."

Saying this, the bearded guy glanced towards the gunshot direction, displeased, saying, "That's damn Homeland Security's special forces, and there's ISA people behind them.

They might have helicopter support, but we only have a few automatic rifles...

Even if we take down those thieves, can we get away?"

"What was the commission for this job?"

"20,000 or 25,000?"

Feignan glared fiercely at Big Beard, who was constantly complaining, then said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense. How much money can you make in a year at home, huh?

I've negotiated the price with them, an extra 10,000 for each of us to take out those two thieves. We can then retreat via the sea route from the north, and we won't have to deal with them in this damned place anymore."

Upon hearing this, Big Beard grumbled with a pout, "Boss, this isn't right. We're getting the smallest sum, yet doing the most dangerous work..."

While the squad's attention was drawn by the argument between the two, a rope suddenly flew out from the snow on the trunk of a big tree alongside them, precisely looping around the neck of the last guy in the team...

Just as the guy sensed something was wrong and wanted to shout, a tremendous force dragged him up, causing his body to be lifted before being slammed hard into the snow beside him...

Then he seemed possessed by an evil spirit, desperately grabbing at the noose around his neck, being pulled rapidly across the snowy ground by a powerful force.

The people in front heard the commotion and turned around to see a terrifying scene...

Their companion seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, sliding backward about twenty meters before crashing into a Y-shaped tree...

Then his body slid up along the trunk to a height of three meters, suspending there.

Due to the obstruction of the trees and the viewing angle and color of the rope, Feignan and his group couldn't see what was happening behind the guy.

If this happened at night, it would be a standard horror movie...

Seeing the legs of the guy hanging still twitching, Feignan quickly made some tactical hand signals, and the remaining six distanced and layered themselves, covered each other with guns, and quickly approached their suspended companion.

Just as they neared the hanging companion, a sharp cougar's cry echoed from deep within the forest...

A mercenary at the team's forefront aimed his gun towards the direction of the cry, instinctively stepping back...

"Boom!"

A simple shotgun shell trap was triggered, a solitary bullet piercing through the guy's sole, taking with it his right foot and half the shoe flying off.

"Ah..."

The loud gunshot and the terrifying scream shocked the group, two rushed to the injured, while three others very experienced stood back-to-back, watching the surroundings with their guns ready...

The complaining Big Beard aimed down the path they came from, nervously scanning left and right, and soon noticed something...

Sled crouched on a branch of the big tree, shaking off the snow, and aimed and fired his VSS before Big Beard could react.

With a small "pop," Big Beard's head was pierced by a 9mm special bullet, a small hole appearing above the brow bone, exploding the skull at the back, splattering brain matter and blood onto the backs of his comrades.

Noticing something amiss, Feignan turned to see Sled jumping from the tree, rolling and crawling trying to escape, he roared and pulled the trigger...

"Papapapa..."

"Papapapa..."

......

As Sled touched the ground, he swiftly moved close to the snow, quickly maneuvering behind the big tree, evading the bullets shot hastily by the enemy.

As Feignan and his three companions fired trying to kill Sled, two cougars and Balang had already sprinted under the cover of the woods...

As they neared the tree hanging the mercenary, they split left and right, their bodies running at high speed tilted sideways, completing a curved turn on the ground like drifting, then bounced up heavily hitting the backs of several mercenaries.

The bulky winter wear increased the protection for these mercenaries considerably, but also slowed their reaction...

The moment the two cougars pinned the mercenaries down, their front paws frantically grabbed at the mercenary's collar, as soon as the neck was exposed, they opened their mouths biting into the neck and violently tore...

The mercenary's artery was instantly torn apart, a large volume of blood gushing out...

Balang rammed into the waist of one mercenary, knocking him forward, then stepping on his back, using it to spring upwards, biting Feignan's gun-holding right hand...

Balang's body moved like a flicking spring several times, causing Feignan's rifle to fall to the ground, as he let out a terrified scream.

When the guy on the ground whom Balang had knocked over raised his gun intending to spray, a silhouette appeared by his side...

"Bang Bang"

The VSS-fired bullets hit the guy's head...

Mountain Eagle kicked away the rifle next to the unlucky guy missing half a foot, then turned and shot the side of Feignan's knee, causing him to kneel painfully, letting out a lone wolf-like howl...
