The huge explosion made Nan Yi turn around suddenly and exclaimed, "Apache!"

"American Apache helicopter gunship?!" Jiang Cao blurted out.

"Did you hear it?" Ye Fang was surprised that Nanyi could tell the model of the helicopter based on the sound of the explosion.

"The artillery shells produced in each country have different explosion sounds depending on their model, loading capacity, and rate of fire. It's just difficult for ordinary people to distinguish." Nan Yi confirmed the direction of the explosion again and said, "This Something was wrong this time, how could an American helicopter come in?"

"Have you forgotten that Faisal said that the CIA is behind the Atas organization? This time it is very likely that Atas has mobilized armed forces from nearby US military bases." Ye Fang analyzed.

"It would be even worse if that's the case." Nan Yi thought for a while and said, "If the US military gives Atas support, it will definitely not be just an armed helicopter! We have to leave this area as soon as possible, let's go!"

Jiang Cao glanced at the direction of the explosion worriedly. She didn't know if the ghost team was okay after the explosion. Ye Fang came over and said, "They are the ghost team. Ghosts don't die that easily. Let's go!"

Then Ye Fang, Nan Yi, and Jiang Cao continued walking toward the mountain. Near noon, the three of them finally climbed over the not-too-high mountain in front of them, and a small town appeared in front of Ye Fang and the others at the foot of the mountain.

The three of them supported Ye Fang as they staggered down the mountain and entered this small town, which is more than ten kilometers away from Istanbul. The town is not big, with probably tens of thousands of people. The people are simple and simple, and when they see Ye Fang's three oriental faces, they all Show a friendly smile.

Nan Yi immediately took out his mobile phone and found that there was still no signal. After asking passers-by, he learned that the area network communication terminal was currently under maintenance. But there is good news, that is, the landline phone can still be used. Nan Yi failed to contact Rhea, which means that he is still in this area.

"Call Su Long and Xiang Rong. My satellite phone is over there. It should be exempt from the signal control." Ye Fang said.

Sure enough, Nan Yi directly dialed Su Long at Ankara Castle, told Su Long about the situation, and asked him to contact Rhea as soon as possible, and at the same time asked the signal flag special team to come to the town to respond.

After learning that Ye Fang was in danger, Su Long immediately wanted to come with the signal flag team, but was rejected by Ye Fang. Su Long and Xiang Rong continued to stay in the castle, and it was enough to have the signal flag team to respond.

The signal flag special team received the mission and set off immediately. It is more than 400 kilometers from Ankara to Istanbul. It is expected to arrive in two hours by helicopter, and three hours is enough to reach Ye Fang's town.

"Let's find a place to rest and eat something first." Jiang Cao said, and then the three of them found a temporary hotel in the town. The extremely tired three of them ate something and fell asleep directly.

I don't know when Nan Yi woke up suddenly, opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately woke up Ye Fang and Jiang Cao.

"What happened?" Jiang Cao asked with a wary look.

"Listen!" Nan Yi said in a deep voice.

Then the three of them held their breath and listened carefully, and found that the originally noisy town was silent at this moment, as if the entire town had turned into a dead city.

Ye Fang checked the time. It was already 02:30 in the afternoon. It had been nearly two hours since he contacted Ankara. After calculating the time, the signal flag team responsible for the response should have been approaching Istanbul and should arrive in this small town soon. town.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, and even the hotel where he was staying seemed to be deserted.

"People seemed to disappear in an instant." Ye Fang said softly.

"I'll go take a look." Nan Yi tiptoed to the window, opened it gently, and found that the entire street near the hotel was deserted. However, from time to time, many people from the Atas organization wearing white robes can be seen walking through the streets, but it is obvious that these people are very careful and try not to make any noise.

"There are many people." Nan Yi mouthed to Ye Fang and Jiang Cao.

After a short rest, the three people's physical strength has been greatly improved, but the three people's pistols do not have many bullets. Going out hastily in the current state of the three people is tantamount to death. Now it can only be said that the Atas organization must have sent a lot of people to capture Ye Fang, and maybe there were US soldiers among them.

The only uncertainty now is whether Lu Jiuge's ghost team has entered the town. Judging from the time, it should have also entered, otherwise it would not have attracted so many Atas militants.

"Besiege the city!" Ye Fang said slowly. The situation he was encountering now was the most thrilling one he had seen in the past few years. There were dozens to hundreds of armed soldiers outside, and now he only had two bodyguards around him. , or two women.

Nan Yi glanced at Ye Fang accidentally, and seemed to see something hidden in Ye Fang's eyes, and said coldly, "Don't worry, no one can hurt you as long as I am here."

"It seems safest for us to stay here now..."

Jiang Cao wanted to speak but was stopped by Nan Yi with a wave of his hand. At this moment, someone seemed to break in on the first floor of the hotel. Nan Yi signaled Ye Fang to hide inside, and his eyes seemed to tell Ye Fang, "Stay away from me, so as not to spatter your blood."

Ye Fang glanced at the corner of his mouth and reluctantly held his injured left arm and slowly moved inside. He saw Jiang Cao and Nan Yi guarding both sides of the door. The daggers in their hands were shining horribly in the sunlight outside. The light of man.

Soon the three of them heard the sound of coming upstairs from downstairs. Nan Yi and Jiang Cao listened to the approaching footsteps with indifferent expressions, and even the voices of people talking outside the door were clearly audible.

Soon the door of the room was pushed open, and two Middle Easterners wearing white headscarves burst in with guns in hand. Nan Yi and Jiang Cao locked onto each other in a tacit understanding.

Jiang Cao flew up and sat on the man's body, covering his mouth and nose with one hand, and holding the dagger in the other hand, he thrust it straight into his throat. The blood spurted out along the blood groove of the dagger and shot all over the wall. The moment the body fell to the ground, Jiang Cao was in a powerful position. He rolled on the ground and stood up, picking up the submachine gun in the man's hand.

Nan Yi used his dexterous body to stab the man's body several times on the front, back and center. The man fell to the ground and died before he could react. Nan Yi calmly picked up the submachine gun.

Another person outside the door saw his accomplice being attacked and immediately pulled the trigger. The AK submachine gun fired wildly, sweeping all the furnishings in the house.

Soon all the bullets were fired. Just as the man was changing the magazine, a cold light flew out of the room and hit the man's left eye directly. The handle of the knife was instantly buried in his skull.

"It's too bloody." Ye Fang shook his head and said.

"Stop making sarcastic comments and leave quickly. Once the gunshots are fired, I don't know how many people are going to come this way." Nan Yi stepped forward and pulled out the dagger, wiped it clean of something red, white and yellow, and then inserted it into his calf. among.

Then the three people quickly left the hotel and disappeared at the end of the road. The sound of gunshots in the hotel meant that their location was revealed. Countless roads could be seen with the naked eye, making clicking sounds and coming towards this direction.

The traces of the three men were quickly exposed, and they encountered another five-man team in a small neighborhood of the town. The two sides immediately started shooting at each other. There is no skill in this kind of shooting. The almost overwhelming advantage of the five-man team makes the three of them huddled in one place unable to move. The occasional effective counterattack organized by the team is also broken down. If this continues, they will soon run out of bullets.

"I'll cover you. You evacuate along the houses. If it's too late, the three of us won't be able to leave." Jiang Cao shouted loudly.

Without any hesitation, Nan Yi took Ye Fang's arm and said in a deep voice, "Leave it to you!"

Then the two of them tacitly ordered Jiang Cao to pick up his submachine gun and block the firepower at the opposite alley, giving Nan Yi and Ye Fang a small chance to breathe. The two quickly crossed the street and arrived at a house.

At this time, Jiang Cao's submachine gun was out of bullets and was thrown aside. Jiang Cao leaned against the corner wall, holding the pistol in both hands and breathing heavily.

At this time, the five-man team seemed to know that Jiang Cao had no bullets, and shouted in English that he would not kill Jiang Cao.

Jiang Cao glanced at the height of the surrounding street wall with the corner of his eye, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Hand your fucking gun!" Then he saw Jiang Cao leap up to the top of the wall easily by relying on the reaction force against the wall, and then followed it along. He walked tiptoeing along the roof of the house and along the street wall toward the five-person team.

Jiang Cao on the top of the wall crouched and watched the five-man team below holding submachine guns and tentatively walking forward step by step. When all five people passed by. Jiang Cao, who was on top of the wall, turned over and jumped down to stand behind the last militant. He drew out a dagger with his left hand and directly controlled one of the men with his backhand. With his right hand, he shot the two men in front of him several times in the back. The two men immediately fell into a pool of blood. .

The two militants at the front reacted immediately, turned around and shot at Jiang Cao. Jiang Cao directly pushed the "shield" in front of him, and the man was instantly beaten into a sieve. Jiang Cao took advantage of the gap and fired all the bullets in his pistol. The two people in front of him fell with a plop in front of Jiang Cao.

Two more figures appeared from the street. Jiang Cao raised his pistol like a reflex, only to see that they were Nan Yi and Ye Fang.

"I knew that without this burden, it wouldn't be a problem for you to deal with a few of them." Nan Yi said casually.

"Who do you think is a burden?" Ye Fang looked at Nan Yi with a bad look and asked.

"I'm a burden, okay?!" Nan Yi walked forward nonchalantly, picked up the charger and the magazine on the ground and pinned them to his body.

"You -" Ye Fang looked at Nan Yi's back and said, "When I go back and write a summary at the end of the year, I will truthfully record and report your performance."

Nan Yi rarely showed a hint of pride in the novel, and replied, "The only criterion for my evaluation is that as long as you don't die, you will get full marks!"

"What do you mean my immortality means perfect score?" Ye Fang asked dissatisfied.

"I told you two leaders, let's stop bickering. What time has it been? We must leave here quickly, or we won't be able to get out." Jiang Cao said as he picked up a gun.

"Let's go quickly!" Jiang Cao didn't wait for Ye Fang's consent, directly grabbed his arm and walked quickly towards another street.

Ye Fang has long been worn down by Nan Yi. In fact, in this situation, he is sometimes a drag on Nan Yi and Jiang Cao. Otherwise, it would not be difficult to escape unscathed based on the skills of the two.

"According to time, the signal flag team should have come in!" Ye Fang said as he walked.

As soon as he finished speaking, gunfire suddenly rang out not far away. The three of them immediately stopped and hid in a house. It seemed to be a place similar to a domestic hardware store. There were various metal knives placed in the room. and various tools.

"It's not just one gunshot, it's many gunshots!" Nan Yi carefully identified the direction from which the sound came. It came from the northeast and northwest. "The northwest direction should be the signal flag team, and the northeast direction should be the signal flag team. Ghost Team, because that’s the direction coming down from the mountain.”

Nan Yi quickly searched for something in the store, and finally found a phone on the cashier counter in the corner. When he picked up the phone, he found that there was no buzzer. It was obvious that all communications in the entire town had been cut off.

"Damn it!" Nan Yi cursed fiercely.

Ye Fang was so happy to hear this damn sentence. It was hard to see Nan Yi in such a state of anger that he said, "We can either go find the signal flag team now, or wait for the signal flag team to come to us, but the question is how to let the signal flag team and them come to us." Know we're here."

Now that the other two gunshots have attracted a lot of people, the pressure on Ye Fang has been greatly reduced. Ye Fang of the signal flag team is not worried. The only thing he is worried about is the ghost team. They don't have enough ammunition.

Ye Fang watched Nan Yi walking around the room, seeming to be thinking about something. Suddenly Nan Yi stopped and was looking through something in the store. Nan Yi found a long pole, tied a large piece of white cloth on it, and found a bucket of red paint and poured it directly on the white cloth. In an instant, a red flag was successfully made.

"Nanyi, don't you carry the red flag and rush towards the enemy's position?" Ye Fang joked.

Nanichi said while reinforcing the flag, "Do you know why the signal flag team calls it a signal flag?"

"Is there any special meaning?" Ye Fang asked curiously.

"Do you know why this Russian special forces is so mysterious? It's because this signal flag team does not use radios at all when fighting in the field. They all rely on small flags on their bodies and semaphores to keep in contact. This allows the enemy to find them through modern tracking equipment. They couldn't reach them, so they called the Signal Flag Special Forces." After Nan Yi explained, he picked up the makeshift red flag and shook it slightly to let the red paint on the cloth dry as quickly as possible.

"Xiao Cao, if you are good at it, go up to the roof and use this red flag to draw a figure-eight trajectory in the air every three minutes, up to three times." Nan Yi said and handed the red flag in his hand to Jiang Cao.

"Okay." After Jiang Cao agreed, he picked up the red flag and walked out of the room. Jiang Cao's back instantly reminded Ye Fang of countless such classic scenes in anti-Japanese TV dramas, with a sense of indomitable determination.

"Why do you need to draw a figure 8?" Ye Fang asked curiously.

"Because the 8-character semaphore represents the SOS distress signal and is used internationally." Nan Yi shook his head helplessly as he spoke, feeling sad for Ye Fang's ignorance.

"Then why does everyone wave the figure-eight semaphore after a battle is won in the TV series?"
