Chapter 15 - There are no exceptions

"The last person reach the end, immediately left!"

Was it that he, Xiao Jing, had been kicked back?

Almost at the same instant Shen Chengfeng's voice fell, several pairs of eyes landed on Xiao Jing, as if they had already determined that he had left.

Shen Chengfeng's gaze also landed on him and he said once again, "There are no exceptions!"

Xiao Jing's brows slightly rose as she silently cursed in her heart: If there aren't any exceptions, then there are no exceptions. What are you f * cking talking about? Could it be that I'm begging you to open the back door for me?

"Here are the supplies. The time limit is three days. After three days, those who have yet to reach the end will also cancel their results and immediately leave the Special Forces."

Mu Xi Chi ordered the guards to distribute the backpack's supplies one by one.

The heavy backpack on Xiao Jing's back was crushed by her frail body.

Normally, the cross-country training in the 525th Regiment was three kilograms and five kilograms.

This backpack must weigh at least 20 kilograms!

"Let's go."

With the sound of the gun, the officers climbed into the SUV.

Xiao Jing followed behind them with a gun in her hand. In a short moment, they had left her at the back. In fact, each and every one of them had already disappeared into the forest.

There were too many uncertain dangers in the forest during the summer. Venomous snakes, poisonous insects, wild beasts, and the huge forest were like four sides of a river. No one dared to act rashly.

"Do you need to form a team with me?"

Lin Qi sat on the rock, and after seeing the figure that appeared in his line of sight, he jumped down from the rock with a bang.

Xiao Jing silently observed the other party. Although she did not know why he had approached her, at a time like this, she still needed a helper.

He said, "My instructor told me before that the special team's training is not as simple as it seems on the surface. These are the areas that I've marked out, and they have good geography and are suitable for concealment."

"You mean there's someone else in the forest besides us?"

Xiao Jing asked back.

Lin Qi folded the map and said, "Ordinary armed ten kilometers of cross-country is a common training program in every camp. For elites like us, there is no threat at all."

"…"

I think it's quite a threat to me, Xiao Jing smiled bitterly.

"When we don't know how many traps our superior has put in place, we have to form a team and move forward. Otherwise, we will most likely be wiped out."

Lin Qi analyzed.

"Aren't you worried that I'll hold you back?"

"Those who can enter here are never trash."

Lin Qi carried his backpack on his shoulder, took out his short blade and started to lead the way, "Follow behind me and be careful."

Xiao Jing tightly gripped onto the gun in her hand. She looked around at her surroundings, in case something unexpected happened.

Night fell, and the entire forest was covered by the moonlight. The rustling of fallen leaves could be heard nearby.

Lin Qi lit a fire and sat beside her, gnawing on a steamed bun.

Xiao Jing sat opposite of him, sipping water. For some reason, she felt that someone was staring at her.

Lin Qi quickly retracted his gaze, coughed lightly, and said awkwardly, "I've often heard that the 525th squad is the most untouchable unit in the camp, and the people inside are all from high school. I never thought that I could become comrades in arms with a team like that."

"Cough, cough."

Xiao Jing choked back a mouthful of water. She covered her mouth and coughed with some effort. "Are you joking with me?" she asked.

"With my ability, I am not qualified to …"

"Second Lieutenant Xiao, you're wrong. The Special Forces never rely on our background to enter. You should believe in your ability. I'm quite pleased with you."

Xiao Jing put down the kettle and took out her sleeping bag. Smiling, she said, "I refused to join the Special Forces in the past, but now I'm going back on my word. As you said, there's no trash here, so I believe that I'm not trash."

Lin Qi filled the fire with fire and said with a smile, "It's getting late, you can sleep first. Change shifts in four hours."

Xiao Jing lay in her sleeping bag, completely oblivious to the four hour shift that he had mentioned.

Dawn broke through the gaps between the trees and sprinkled on the ground like spots of stars.

Xiao Jing woke up from her sleep. Her mind was stuck for a moment. She looked at the figure that was packing her backpack in a daze. She blinked. Did she forget something?

"You're awake?"

Lin Qi carried the bag on his shoulder, his eyes bloodshot.

Xiao Jing scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, "Why didn't you call me last night?"

"It's alright, I can see that you haven't had a good rest recently."

Xiao Jing quickly got up, put away her sleeping bag, and followed behind Lin Qi. She asked, "Which way should we go now?"

"Hiding."

Lin Qi suddenly stopped and made a hand gesture to Xiao Jing, who was behind him.

Xiao Jing saw that he didn't hesitate to plunge into the grass and hurriedly followed him in.

The sound of footsteps could be heard as they walked through the dead leaves. Although the other party had intentionally lowered his footsteps, in this quiet forest, any sound would be magnified by an infinite number of sounds.

Xiao Jing clearly saw a figure flash by before her eyes. In the next moment, the entire forest returned to its original silence.

Lin Qi nodded to Xiao Jing, indicating that he should hide himself.

Xiao Jing held the gun, she knew that this area should have been covered by an inescapable net, as long as they jumped out, they would definitely die.

In the summer forest, the heat waves roiled.

Xiao Jing felt that her clothes were already soaked in sweat layer by layer. She looked at Lin Qi with a burning gaze. "This way of doing things is not a solution."

"You go in three directions. There's a sniper, and I'll go in seven directions. There's also a sniper. They should be from the special forces. If we want to break out of this encirclement, we have to move at the same time. Are you confident?"

Lin Qi asked.

Xiao Jing's body was stiff. Was she confident?

In terms of firearms, this was her weakest point. She did not think that her reaction speed could compare with those well-trained special forces.

"Believe in yourself."

Lin Qi's forehead slid across a drop of sweat.

Xiao Jing nodded with a serious expression.

A smoke bullet was thrown out from the bush, and a 'bang' sound was heard as the bullet went through the smoke bullet.
