The huge wings of the helicopter slowly descended, rustling the leaves of the trees in the forest.
"One by one, jump."
Inside the cabin, the safety line was lowered and a buckle was fastened to the safety buckle on everyone's waist.
Xiao Jing was the fourth to jump down. The pressure of the air outside of the cabin stung her ears. Her head shook, and before she could even prepare, she was thrown out.
The raging roar of the wind reached her ears, and her body lost the gravitational effect and fell straight down.
After putting down the six people, the helicopter returned to its original position.
The six of them looked at each other. Here, they were comrade-in-arms and also enemies.
Lin Qi carefully examined the ammunition in the gun. After confirming that it was real, he solemnly picked up his backpack and said to Xiao Jing, "Let's go together."
Xiao Jing naturally knew that this was not the time to act heroically. There were dangers everywhere, and with her black hole, it was best to band together.
Lin Qi was leading the way. The forest was dense and overgrown with weeds. His vision was blocked.
Xiao Jing was responsible for taking care of the rear. She paid attention to the movement behind her. She walked very carefully, one step at a time.
"Crack."
The branch was broken by the military boots, and Lin Qi vigilantly stopped.
Xiao Jing whispered, "What's wrong?"
"Be careful, there might be mercenaries here."
Lin Qi lowered his voice. They had to find a place with water before dusk to rest.
Xiao Jing's heart hung high in her chest. This was her first time on the battlefield, and her fear of death was like a high altitude pressure that enveloped her. She maintained a high level of vigilance, constantly taking precautions.
Qi Yue sat in his office, excitedly watching the live footage on the satellite map. Everyone was very calm, except for Xiao Jing who was on the same foot as them.
"Ding … …"
The phone rang in alarm.
Qi Yue unconcernedly pressed the answer button. "What is it?"
"Is Captain Shen in?"
The person asked straightforwardly.
Qi Yue glanced at Shen Chengfeng, who was resting with his eyes closed, and nodded, "Please wait."
Shen Chengfeng took his phone. As he did not speak for a long time, his first voice was a little hazy. He said, "I am Shen Chengfeng."
"Captain Shen, this is vice-captain Huang Jian Jiang. We were on a border patrol mission when we were attacked by an unknown enemy. Right now, there are 342 injuries and 8 soldiers are missing. I need the support of the Special Forces."
Shen Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes. If he was not mistaken, the 624th regiment was a patrol officer at the CX border. He had contacted their leader when he was arranging the new recruit mission, and only after obtaining precise information about the recent calm at the border did he choose the location for the assessment.
Qi Yue sensed the sudden change in atmosphere and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, captain?"
"What's the situation now?"
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand to signal Qi Yue to keep quiet.
The other party continued, "The situation is very confusing, the enemy quickly backed off after attacking us, and they even took eight of our soldiers as hostages. Now, the captain is leading the remaining ten people to rescue us, and we need the help of the Special Forces."
"Understood, I will immediately send out my troops."
Shen Chengfeng hung up the phone.
Qi Yue frowned slightly, then asked impatiently, "Did something happen?"
"Is the helicopter back yet?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
Qi Yue nodded. "I just received my orders to return. What's wrong?"
Shen Chengfeng put on his military hat and strode out of the office, "Gather everyone, one team of seven, split into two teams. One team will be responsible for finding all the recruits, while the other team will provide support to rescue the hostages of the 624 Regiment."
Qi Yue's expression turned cold as he asked in astonishment, "Captain, you mean the examination venue is red?"
Shen Chengfeng stopped and nodded solemnly, "Red alert, everyone be careful."
"Beep, beep, beep."
Before he finished, an alarm sounded out in the office.
Qi Yue hurriedly ran back. His pupils contracted. The position of the satellite, which had been on the computer screen just a moment ago, suddenly went out, and only a snowflake appeared on the screen.
"The drone has been discovered. The other side must know that we are practicing for the assessment."
The cynicism of the past was gone from Qi Yue's face. At this moment, his eyes were full of anxiety.
"Bang!"
A mushroom cloud suddenly exploded in the woods, and a huge flame engulfed all the trees within a hundred square meters.
Xiao Jing was lying on the ground. She stared at the thick fog in disbelief. She couldn't help but say, "Was it a bomb just now?"
