Chapter 52: Setting Ambush

Chapter 52: Setting Ambush

Leon felt a shake in the plane and a huge force pressed into their body that gradually disappeared.

"It was a soothing journey," Leon nodded in satisfaction as this was his first time sitting on a plane. He used vehicles to traverse long distances and illegal cargo ships, in case of going overseas in the past due to cost and all those safety checks.

"The plane has landed,"

Leon felt a brush of humidity as he got off the plane. There was an air of freshness similar to the countryside. It was truly refreshing.

The landing site was a private airport surrounded by barbed wires and fencing. It was the branch of Zephyr organizations in Savanna. The organization was a leading global arms dealer and had branches everywhere that were convenient for business dealings and sales a lot.

"Welcome to Great Savanna, "A pot-belly man greeted Leon with a widened smile.

"You are?"

"I am Jeremy, a friend of Corry. He spoke about you booking a special flight to come here. So, I decided to greet you. It's not as if I am busy"Jeremy cast a smile extending his hand.

"Anything you need,"

Leon grabbed his hand and nodded.

"I need a map and information about this place along with different mercenary groups active here and also lend me an off-road bike."Leon answered and also added."I am ready to pay."

"Hahaha! I like dealing with clever people like you," Jeremy laughed."I will get someone to make arrangements. Do you perhaps need a guide?"

"No!"Leon refuted.

"That's bad."Jeremy made a saddened expression and asked"By the way, are you here for the Lost Jewel?"

Confusion etched over Leon's face for a moment.

''What's that?"

'Aren't people here fighting for serum here or because of focusing too much on the serum did he miss something?'

Leon got to know about this place using his special ability and found that the situation was quite hot and tricky out there with many groups going over another's throat.

"I am also clueless about this, "Jeremy gave a bitter smile acting ignorant.

Leon felt that this guy was hiding something but he didn't want to nag too much.

He has two goals here out of which he would be happy as long he finishes any of the two.

To get the Serum and deal with Wolfgang's mercenary.

If he gets the serum then he will leave immediately if the situation becomes too troublesome or if he comes across Wolfgang, he will kill a few and tease Ye Chen a bit, whichever comes first.

Leon packed everything, took two dirt bikes and spare tires, and left without saying anything.

"Bon Voyage. If life permits we will meet again, "Jeremy waved his hands lazily to bid farewell to Leon.

Leon put one bike into a storage ring and rode another disappearing into the forest.

.....

Leon opened the map and then looked at the different circles that represent the bases of mercenary groups out there.

After traveling for many hours, Leon concluded that the location of the serum was quite deep in the forest and it might take a few days to reach there.

The beasts had been cleared and many roads had been built in the shallow area of the forest but as one goes deeper, the forest becomes dense and covered by fog, and one can go inside on foot.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that much stock and it was a mistake on his part as he thought that he could reach the spot in just a few hours if he followed the golden trail in the air.

He asked the system about the distance which in return asked for an exchange for 1 luck point so he refused.

He was a bit annoyed and feeling down.

So, to scratch that, he decided to attack Wolfgang to vent his frustration.

Hiding the bike, Leon trailed off and using the binoculars observed the base of Wolfgang from a distance.

The campsite was guarded. It had concrete walls and barbed wire on it. The metal gate in between was the sole exit.

Within the base, there was a tall sentry near the gate, and along with a huge searchlight, it had several machine guns. He also caught sight of grenade launchers along with other armaments.

"I hope they don't have a tank inside."

"Sneaking in isn't an option."Leon, who was lost in thought, suddenly saw a jeep emitting a roar stopping at the gates.

Waiting for the night to settle in, Leon, after a careful observation of the roads, dug and laid a few mines, anti-

personnel bombs, and smoke bombs.

3 kilometers away from the base, two paths joined to form a single one leading to Wolfgang's base. Leon laid an ambush in the one. Even if he missed one, he can do it again.

He also planted a signal jammer nearby which on activation would jam the signals in a certain radius. It was a single-use thing that covered a radius of 150 meters.

It would be easier to do all this shooting with drones. Sadly, once the jammer was activated the drones would stop functioning and become useless.

At night the temperature was freezing and cold gusts of wind blew. Leon was laid on a high-raised land that allowed him to snipe easily. Bored by waiting, he worked out by doing various types of pushups, crunches, and squats for a few hours, and taking a short break to meditate, he began working out again.

The set of exercises didn't have a great effect at this stage but it kept him active and in good form.

BOOM!

As he was doing this, a blinding flash illuminated the darkness.

"Holyshit!They came by the road where I set explosives.''

Leon immediately pulled his sniper and took his position and clicked on the buttons.

"Let's begin fucking up Ye Chen."

....

As two squads were coming back through the jeeps, something exploded under the first jeep. Flying up in the sky,it drew a parabola, and fell a few meters behind the second one and between the third one.

The second Jeep and three behind immediately halted their steps and waited.

"There might be an ambush. Don't get down."Mike, who was in charge of the squad, shouted but by that time few had already stepped out and stepped on the mine.

BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

Flames flared bursting out those who stepped out and the smoke dissipated, all that was left behind was a scorched burnt body emitting a pungent smell along with scattered pieces of meat.

"Shithead!"Mike roared amidst the explosion.

"Stay coop, the Jeep can take a blast or two."

Gasps echoed among the men as they swallowed their saliva in fear.

After a few moments of nothing unusual happening, just as they planned to do something, a bomb near the third jeep and four jeeps went off terrorizing their souls.

BOOOOOOOM!BOOOOOOOM!
