The situation began to deteriorate rapidly.
Antonov, hiding in the building, watched as Song Heping's grenades sent the enemy's trio rolling like gourds, and laughed aloud.
"Boss, you're really a talent! You came up with this method!"
"Stop flattering me, keep a close watch. They are sure to come back to rescue their people."
Song Heping's judgment was spot on.
Outside the factory, the "Wild Wolf" squad saw their boss down on the ground, and immediately opened a barrage of gunfire to suppress the enemy, while sending out a member to quickly charge forward to grab the shield.
There's only one shield, the only thing that can save Simon.
"They're coming!"
"Take out that guy, don't let him get the shield."
Song Heping knew very well that the opponent was desperate too.
Being aware that charging forward like this was tantamount to suicide.
But they were also gambling that Song Heping didn't have many grenades left, and once they got the shield, they could rescue Simon like before.
Bang bang bang —
Bang bang bang —
Antonov aimed at the "Wild Wolf" squad member charging towards the trio and fired two successive shots.
The man quickly fell headfirst to the ground.
From the trees outside the factory to the open area inside the factory where the trio fell was nearly a hundred meters.
This distance was directly exposed to the sight of Antonov, Nura, and others inside the factory, representing a death zone for the "Wild Wolf" squad.
Song Heping returned to the third floor.
Antonov informed him, "These guys are truly fearless, two of them charged in, and both were taken out by me and Nura. Not sure if they'll keep coming."
"Let them come."
Song Heping looked down at his watch.
The time was about right.
The mysterious squad outside was continuously sending people to charge forward, which was only wasting their vital force.
When the Persian squad led by Naxin arrived, it would be time for a full counterattack.
In terms of the overall situation, Simon and his "Wild Wolf" squad were already at a distinct disadvantage.
This old fox originally wanted to stage a play and eliminate both himself and Jasper, clearing the biggest threats to his future.
But now it had backfired.
He ended up being caught in his own trap.
Regarding Simon, Song Heping was always cautious and vigilant.
Dealing with this CIA agent could only involve interests, no sentiments involved.
Compared to army soldiers, Song Heping preferred to deal with people like Peter and Mist, at least those military heads weren't so convoluted.
The factory area was filled with the mixed scent of gunpowder and blood, Song Heping leaned against the third-floor window, gently tapping the barrel of the VSS silenced sniper rifle.
The "Wild Wolf" squad seemed to have stopped unnecessary rescue attempts after losing two members.
They also realized that the initiative now completely rested in the hands of the few people in the building.
In the distance, Simon lay on the ground like a stranded fish, futilely writhing his body, swearing incessantly, but lacked the previous vigor.
But Song Heping knew, this old fox wouldn't perish easily.
"Boss, the old guy is still moving." Antonov grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Should I give him a quick end?"
He raised the AKM assault rifle in his hand.
"Just one shot, and this guy can go to Hell." he said.
Song Heping didn't answer immediately.
He looked down at his watch – there probably wasn't much time left until the security systems were restored.
Simon was already at the brink.
Once communications were restored, the command center would surely try to establish a communication channel, and by then, Simon would be unable to conceal the truth here.
This time pressure, Simon knew it better than anyone.
"Wait." Song Heping squinted his eyes, "He'll make a choice."
"Not killing him?"
Antonov was a bit disappointed, thinking Song Heping would choose to eliminate this CIA mole who wanted him dead.
Song Heping said, "I initially wanted to kill him, but now thinking it through, it's not necessary."
Antonov worriedly said, "Even if he doesn't die, he might still be a threat."
