Of course, Jiang Chen and the others were not aimlessly searching on the island, otherwise with thirteen people, they wanted to search the island of several square kilometers thoroughly. When the time comes, I'm afraid even the daylily will be moldy.

Because in the previous investigation, according to the footage captured by the drone, the formation command found that there were a large number of traces of piracy activities on the beach somewhere on the island, and no traces of piracy activities were found in other places except this place.

Therefore, Zheng Mingchuan later judged that this location should be the place where the island is ashore. The members of the operation team only need to find this location first, and then follow this location and go deep into the jungle, it should be possible to find the location of pirates and kidnapped fishermen.

Ten minutes later, under the exploration of two sharp soldiers, the members of the operation team successfully arrived at the beach where the pirates had landed, but in fact, because of the action of the tide, more than an hour ago, the beach had been submerged by the sea, and those traces had long since disappeared cleanly.

This also means that if the formation headquarters waits for the tide to rise some time in the evening, it may not be able to find the footprints left on the beach, and thus it will not find the pirates hiding on this island in the first place.

Of course, there are not so many ifs, and the efficient actions and search methods of the escort formation allow these traces to be exposed to the field of vision of the drone before the tide comes, and also make the subsequent operations carry out smoothly.

After the members of the operation team entered the jungle behind, they also found several speedboats that had been moved into the jungle by pirates.

The pirates did this, of course, to avoid being discovered.

Moreover, in order to increase the concealment, the pirates also covered several speedboats with a lot of tree branches.

Although it is indeed easy to spot the speedboat from a close distance, it is indeed not easy to spot from a distance, especially from the sky.

After discovering these things, the members of the operation team immediately followed the traces left by the pirates in the jungle and continued deeper into the jungle.

After moving forward for about ten minutes, the Nalan army, who was walking first, immediately stopped his steps after vaguely hearing the sound coming from in front of him.

Following the Nalan Army, several scattered team members also stopped at the first time. After that, the scattered team members also stopped moving at the first time.

After hearing the sound, the Nalan army roughly judged the direction of the sound and measured the distance, and then the Nalan army, who made a standby gesture to the back, turned his head and bent over, quietly moving in the direction from which the sound came.

Soon, the Nalan army saw several pirates standing in the jungle not far away, and four or five pirates were surrounding a cordon. Inside the cordon, the remaining pirates were sitting on the ground resting, and next to the pirates, thirteen fishermen were tied together with cloth stuffed in their mouths.

Fearing being discovered, the island began to cool down and mosquitoes began to appear in the evening, but the pirates did not light a fire, but waited quietly for the time to come.

After seeing the number of pirates and their approximate location, the Nalan army, which looked very calm, slowly retreated, and then quickly disappeared into the jungle.

From beginning to end, neither the vigils on guard nor the pirates on rest noticed the appearance and departure of the Nalan army.

After leaving, the Nalan army quickly retreated, and after moving back for about two or three hundred meters, it immediately returned to its original position. At this time, the remaining members of the action team were gathered together, several team members were on guard beside them, and the remaining team members were waiting for the news of the Nalan Army's reconnaissance.

"How's it going?"

Jiang Chen, who had long known that the Nalan Army was going to investigate, asked as soon as the Nalan Army came back.

At this time, everyone's attention was all on Nalan Jun's body, waiting for Nalan Jun to speak.

"The thirteen fishermen who were held hostage were in the jungle not far away, and the pirates who kidnapped them, I saw, there were seventeen of them. Five men stood guard outside, and the remaining twelve sat inside to rest, and the thirteen fishermen were right next to the pirates. As for whether there are any pirates elsewhere, I haven't found out yet!"

As they spoke, the Nalan army drew a rough map of the distribution of pirates on the ground.

"We've got to get started right away, and in about an hour we're going to get completely dark. It's likely that these pirates will take advantage of the darkness to leave. If you act then, it will be much more troublesome!" Lu Haiyang, who was on the side, reminded, his tone and expression were very serious.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded, and after glancing at the simple distribution map on the ground, Jiang Chen, who had been thinking for a while, raised his head and asked Nalan Jun, "The vigilant pirates, how far are they from the resting pirates, and the distance between them?"

"The distance is about ten meters. If you want to kill these vigilant pirates without alarming those pirates who are resting, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"Just kill the five pirates on the alert, and the rest will be done. Don't forget, there are thirteen of us, but there are only twelve pirates left!" Jiang Chen, who raised his head, glanced at each of the team members around him and spoke.

"You mean that after the vigilant pirates are dealt with, the remaining twelve pirates, we only need one person, one person, one shot, to be able to kill them?"

Lu Haiyang, who also understood, opened his mouth and said, his eyes also lit up with a burst of fine light, what Jiang Chen said just now is indeed the best way.

"As long as the Black Mamba can accurately mark the location of all the resting pirates, after dealing with the five pirates on alert, we will be able to assign a pirate to each team member, and then shoot at the first time to kill these twelve resting pirates!" replied Jiang Chen, who nodded.

"No problem, I'll be able to mark all the pirate locations right now. Moreover, I also saw Efuya just now!" After Jiang Chen had just finished speaking, Nalan Jun spoke.

"However, the editor asked us to keep a few alive!"

On the side, He Mingzhe, who had been silent from beginning to end, couldn't help but remind after thinking of this question.

"Uh..."

Jiang Chen, who suddenly realized that he had missed this request, finally decided after thinking for a while, "That's it, don't kill the five realm pirates first." When acting, in a group of two, control each other at the first time, and treat it as a living mouth for action. However, in the process of action, you must not let him make a sound, if you really can't control it in a short time, just kill him!"

When he said this, Jiang Chen, who had a cold expression, spoke very crisply.

It's harder to keep a pirate under control than it is to take out a pirate. Moreover, these pirates are only ten meters away from the resting pirates, and if they make too much noise and alarm the resting pirates, things will become more troublesome.

Therefore, if faced with pirates who could not be controlled in a short period of time, Jiang Chen decisively decided to kill the other party. After all, there were five pirates on guard, and Jiang Chen didn't believe that he had so many people, and he wouldn't be able to control a pirate at that time, and he wouldn't be able to keep a single one alive.

"Got it!"

After saying all the words, Jiang Chen, who raised his head, asked.

While Jiang Chen was speaking, Nalan Jun was already on the ground, using broken wooden sticks one by one, to mark the five pirates on guard, and the twelve pirates resting in between, as well as the approximate location of the fishermen.

"Sea eagle, of the five vigils on guard, you are in charge of three, and we are in charge of two. Each pirate is in charge of two team members, and the rest of the team needs to keep an eye on the situation inside, and if they are spotted by the pirates, they will immediately start acting. If you can't tell which is your target at that time, take out the pirate closest to the hostage first!"

"When shooting, be careful not to injure the hostages by mistake. Everyone, turn the fast and slow machine to the spot shot. If the action goes well, each of you will only have one chance to shoot!" Jiang Chen, who had a serious expression, said.

"Understood!"

Seeing this, a group of action team members gathered around him replied in a low voice.

"Now let's start assigning everyone's goals..."

After talking about the places that need attention, Jiang Chen immediately began to assign who would be responsible for the twelve resting pirates at that time, because there was one more team member, Jiang Chen simply let the two team members be responsible for the pirates who posed the greatest threat at that time, that is, the pirates who caused the most harm to the fishermen at that time.

After a few minutes, the assembled group quickly dispersed, and the thirteen people quickly dispersed before disappearing into the jungle. Soon, however, the members of the operation team quickly completed the siege of the pirates, and the first goal of everyone was to prioritize the five pirates who were on guard outside.

Not far away, a pirate leaned against the trunk of a large tree, holding an AK rifle in both hands, his face was very limited, and he did not have the slightest sense of vigilance.

And he didn't notice that in the darkening evening, coupled with the cover of the jungle, Jiang Chen had quietly moved behind the pirate, that is, on the other side of the trunk.

Standing in Jiang Chen's position, through the jungle, he could see the pirates sitting on the ground resting not far away, compared to just now, the position of the pirates has not changed at all, everyone is still resting in the position reported by Nalan Jun just now, Jiang Chen who saw this scene was also relieved in his heart.

After thinking about this, Jiang Chen immediately focused on the pirate behind him, because at this time, the team members who cooperated with him had already begun to act.

"Smack..."

There was a sound of branches breaking, a light voice that was heard by the pirate.

The pirate who heard the sound immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came, but because the night was too dark, the pirate who raised his head did not see anything clearly, and the pirate who was a little uneasy in his heart held an AK rifle and planned to check the situation himself.

But the moment he stepped out with his left foot and his body left the trunk, his fate was already announced.
