Qin Xiao had been waiting for Zhu Hong to send a signal, but he did not hear any movement from outside the cave. He leaned against the entrance of the cave and prepared to investigate the situation outside.
His line of sight was obstructed by the fog.
"Dong, dong dong dong."
Hearing something rolling in, Huang Chenglou picked up his gun and fired a warning shot.
"Bang, bang!"
The tear gas bullet exploded and instantly billowed with smoke.
"What did you do?"
Qin Xiao shouted in surprise. He didn't have the time to say anything and subconsciously ran out of the cave.
"Bang!"
The bullet flew through the air, through the curtain of rain, and landed on Qin Xiao's body.
The pain that felt like a bullet had pierced through his body suddenly swept over him. He wiped his body, but before he could regain his senses, the sensor behind him started to turn red. He woke up to find himself surrounded by white smoke.
"Captain?"
Huang Chenglou did not dare to rashly rush out, he covered his nose with one hand and hurriedly took out an oxygen bottle.
Qin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he stood outside the cave. He felt a bit awkward. As the team leader of a team, the moment he appeared and announced his departure, he finally understood the feelings of the Wings of War Squad Mo Luo.
However, rules were rules. He put down his gun, walked to the corner and squatted beside Zhu Hong.
Zhu Hong whispered, "Captain, you are also dead."
Qin Xiao lit a cigarette. "I want to beat you up right now."
"Do you think we'll be wiped out?"
Qin Xiao glared at him coldly but did not say anything.
Zhu Hong looked up and accepted the cold rain drops. He then said, "I feel like I'm seeing an exquisite scene of the entire train station."
"After you go back, you will have to force the connection. Recently, you have all grown too big, so it's good to be taught a lesson by the Iron Eagle Squadron."
Qin Xiao stepped on his cigarette and placed both hands on his chin. As he saw the figure sneaking out of the forest, he asked with wide eyes, "Isn't that a new recruit?"
Zhu Hong nodded and smiled bitterly, "It was he who kicked me off."
"You might not believe it, but this recruit didn't take the normal route. He actually grabbed the vine and flew over from behind me. Can you imagine that scene?"
Just as I was concentrating on preparing a sneak attack on Captain Shen, I felt a sudden pain on my buttocks and I fell down. "
"A sniper doesn't even have the ability to tell that?"
Qin Xiao frowned. "You need to practice how to distinguish sounds and sounds."
I thought that I would be discovered by Captain Shen, but I never thought that I would be kicked off. I hid in a ten meter tall tree, and just like that, he flew over.
"Enough."
Qin Xiao facepalmed. He felt like the soldier in his hand had fallen to the ground with a concussion.
Xiao Jing noticed that the prisoner of war was discussing something and asked her own captain in a low voice, "What should we do now?"
They are already on alert. "
"Face it."
Shen Chengfeng gestured at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing frowned. How would she go on the front lines?
She raised her rifle and charged in?
Covered in concealment, Zhu Qi aimed his gun at the entrance of the cave, ensuring that he would immediately shoot as soon as there was any wind blowing grass around.
Huang Cheng was hiding on the other side, both of them fully concentrated on waiting for the enemy to invade.
Time passed slowly. The fire in the cave was extinguished, and the entire cave was dark.
"Gu gu gu gu."
Nightingale flapped her wings as she flew past the cave.
The rain gradually lessened and dripped down.
"Someone's coming."
Shen Chengfeng noticed the commotion that had just occurred behind him. It was likely that the people lying in ambush nearby had walked over.
Xiao Jing's eyes were focused on the person who was walking towards her. She gently let out a series of footsteps that could be ignored. The person's movements were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had approached her.
"Captain?"
Mu Xi stuck out half of his head, and cautiously walked over after confirming that the person who was signalling to him in the dark night was from his army.
"You came at just the right time. You can start attacking now."
Shen Chengfeng gestured to the two.
Mu Xi and Cheng Chen didn't hesitate for a moment, covering each other as they entered the cave.
"Bang, bang, bang."
In the next moment, the sound of gunfire was amplified into the cave.
Xiao Jing increased her vigilance. She noticed that there was some movement behind her again. She crawled on the ground without caring about the water stains below her. Her eyes were like torches as she stared at the approaching figure.
Qin Xiao closed his eyes, he couldn't bear the tendency of this side to fall. Looking at his teammates who had barely revealed half their heads and had already announced their deaths, he couldn't help but sigh. "The heavens are going to kill me."
"Captain, the vice-captain's been killed too."
Zhu Hong took out a cigarette for him and offered it to him.
He raised his hand and waved it, then walked straight to Qin Xiao's side and squatted down together, "We expect that there will still be five people left. However, according to the speed of the Iron Eagle Squad, it should be less than half an hour before the collective training ends."
Qin Xiao suddenly felt very lonely. He smoked a cigarette without saying a word. Looking at the only spot of light in the night sky, he sighed. "Let's go back."
"Captain, there are still three people to the northwest. The vice-captain and Jiang Xin are going over together."
Mu Xi reported the latest news, but he couldn't help but look at his captain's neck. Although the electric light was a little weak, he could still clearly see the red spot on his neck.
It was like a thunderbolt; could this be the legendary kiss mark?
Shen Chengfeng glanced at his eyes and accepted the handgun, "Everyone, stay put. We will rest for the night and return tomorrow morning."
With that, he walked out of the cave with his gun in hand.
Xiao Jing relaxed her taut nerves, rubbed her sore arms, and sat down on the ground. She opened her backpack to inspect all the supplies.
Mu Xi Chi slowly moved his feet and asked tactfully: "Why did you and the captain form a team?"
"The captain doesn't trust me to act alon and let me come with him."
Xiao Jing bluntly said.
Mu Xi frowned. Things weren't as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Xiao Jing saw that he wanted to say something but hesitated. "Major Mu has something to say to me?"
"Captain has always liked to act alone. This is the first time I've seen him bring a new person with him during the collective training."
"Maybe I look good, but I'm different from you rough guys. I'm from the 501st Regiment."
Xiao Jing opened her mouth wide, revealing her white teeth without a trace of politeness.
Mu Xi Chi silently rubbed the spear shaft, thinking about whether he should shoot empty again.
Xiao Jing raised her hand and placed it on his shoulder. She smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. Although you look a little ugly, you can completely not rely on your face to eat. In the future, after you retire, you can even show off your skills. I think you're quite good at acting."
Mu Xi Chi pushed his hand away, her back facing him, "Let me tell you, before you came here, I was an inseparable little soldier by the side of the captain. I hate you."
The corner of Xiao Jing's mouth twitched. Did she accidentally steal that majestic team captain from his family?
She hesitated to comfort him.
Qin Xiao sat in a corner, staring at the enemy with hidden resentment. He thought that he had been completely annihilated and lost all face. Should he make up for it with a gun and balance himself?
"Captain, there's killing intent in your eyes."
Huang Cheng quietly reminded.
Qin Xiao hurriedly came back to his senses to hide his true thoughts.
Huang Chenglou seemed to see through his intentions. He leaned to the side and whispered in his ear, "Captain, we can't even beat him in a sneak attack. Do you think we have any chance of winning if we fight head on?"
A basin of cold water was poured over him, extinguishing the raging flames of war in Qin Xiao's heart. He shuddered and obediently took out his sleeping bag.
Huang Chenghua gently patted his shoulder, "It's fine. In any case, the Wings of War will be wiped out first. It's still a glorious loss for us."
Qin Xiao slapped his hand away and lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
The flames began to burn, lighting up the entire cave.
Lin Qi took out the compressed bread, opened the kettle, and handed it to Xiao Jing. He honestly and simply smiled, "Eat something before you go to sleep."
Xiao Jing was stunned. She took his bread and said, "I still have more in my backpack."
"Anyway, I've already taken it out. Let's eat first."
Lin Qi packed his sleeping bag and said, "You can sleep after you've eaten."
Xiao Jing had just eaten two mouthfuls when she saw a figure approaching from afar.
Shen Chengfeng carried a rabbit and walked back into the cave in silence.
Seeing the rabbit in his hand, Xiao Jing patted the bread crumbs in her hand and ran over. Squatting beside him, she lightly brushed off the rabbit's fur with her fingertips. She smiled and said, "Captain, are you preparing an additional meal?"
Shen Chengfeng ignored Xiao Jing's curved eyebrows and opened his backpack. He took out a bottle of ointment and began treating the rabbit's wounds.
Xiao Jing placed both hands on her chin and pouted. She muttered, "You didn't come back to hunt rabbits for food?"
"Take it back, we can eat it after raising it up."
Shen Chengfeng said.
"How hard it is."
"You want to eat it?"
Xiao Jing nodded, but then she hesitated and asked, "Can't I eat it?"
"Even though our Special Forces are used to seeing people die, we are not such a vicious bunch who can just walk around and kill people. This is a life, a living life. Have you eaten it or eaten it?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
Xiao Jing couldn't help but take a step back. Looking at the 187m tall man, she held a rabbit that was only about 20 centimeters long and a dying rabbit. Her mouth was full of righteous words, why did she feel like she was a little crazy?
Was the captain sick?
Shen Chengfeng placed the rabbit on the ground and stared at it as it struggled to get up. He then said, "All living creatures have the right to live."
"Captain, weren't you the one who injured this rabbit?"
"Those who were bitten, judging from the wound, should be tigers and leopards."
Xiao Jing moved over and gently poked the little rabbit that was still stubbornly trying to climb out of the hole. She asked, "Does captain like this rabbit?"
Shen Chengfeng was silent.
"But I don't really like this sort of furry stuff, especially cats."
Xiao Jing rubbed her nose, "I'm allergic."
Shen Chengfeng picked up the rabbit and walked out of the cave without making a sound.
Xiao Jing blinked her eyes as she looked at the back of the person proudly leaving the field with a cape. She then sat beside the bonfire and threw away the wooden pole.
Moments later, Shen Chengfeng came back with a clean rabbit. He started setting up the grill and said, "It's already dead. You can have it now."
Although these words sounded a bit dramatic, Xiao Jing was eagerly waiting.
The fragrance of meat filled the sealed cave. Qin Xiao, who was originally in a deep slumber, sat up in a daze. He sniffed the air and opened his eyes.
Cheng Chen sat in front of the fire. Although it was meant to be warm, anyone could see that his eyes were staring straight at the roasted meat.
"Captain Shen, this behavior of yours is not benevolent. We are all comrades-in-arms. If there's food, how can you not call us?"
Qin Xiao stepped forward and stared at the rabbit that was about to mature as well.
Shen Chengfeng did not reply to Qin Xiao and instead focused on the roast meat.
The fragrance of the meat became stronger and stronger, causing the other people in the cave to raise their heads and look over.
"Eat it."
Shen Chengfeng pa.s.sed the roasted rabbit to Xiao Jing and turned a blind eye to the others.
Qin Xiao gave a cold snort. "Get up, pigeons team, let's go hunting."
A group of people walked out of the cave excitedly.
"Captain, are you hungry?"
Xiao Jing naturally asked.
Shen Chengfeng spread out his hands and looked at the blood stains on his gloves, "Eat up."
Xiao Jing tore off a piece of meat and placed it in front of his mouth, "I feel really embarrassed eating alone."
"When have you ever been embarrassed?"
Shen Chengfeng opened his mouth and ate the meat.
Xiao Jing laughed. "I know that I went overboard with the roast duck several times, but the army has a request. I can't bribe you with the roast duck too obvious, right?"
"So you bribed Mu Xi too late?"
Xiao Jing's hands paused for a moment, and she bit down on her bones awkwardly.
Shen Chengfeng took out the sleeping bag from his backpack and put on his clothes, "You will sleep after you finish eating. You will leave tomorrow morning at dawn."
Xiao Jing saluted his back. "Yes, captain."
With that, she took the rest of the rabbit meat and ran in front of Lin Qi, tore off a large piece and gave it to him. She smiled like a flower. "Here you go."
Lin Qi was surprised, he couldn't believe that Xiao Jing would give him a share. She just held his hands in front of her. This wasn't the first time he had eaten meat, but it was the most satisfying.
Shen Chengfeng's eyes were wide open as he stared unblinkingly at the two figures who were gobbling down the food in the corner. He did not know when his gloves had fallen off, but his left hand pressed down and a huge hole appeared in his sleeping bag.
Xiao Jing spat out the last piece of bone, wiped her mouth, then hugged her sleeping bag and closed her eyes.
Outside the cave, the sounds of animals moving could be heard, but not a single beast dared to step in. It was as if they knew it was dangerous, and they all stopped while smelling the aroma of the meat.
Dawn broke and the bonfire in the cave was reduced to ashes.
Cheng Chen took out a kettle and poured it into the bonfire. After making sure that there was no fire, he followed the group and left.
The thick forest blocked out most of the sunlight, and the helicopter's wings flapped the leaves for a moment, then rose straight into the air.
"After we get back, everyone can rest for two hours. We'll gather at 3 in the afternoon at Area C's training base."
Qi Yue gave the order.
"Yes, instructor."
The helicopter slowly landed on the helipad.
Just as Shen Chengfeng walked out of the cabin, an officer rushed over with a hurried expression.
The officer stood in a military posture and directly said, "Sir, the 118th Regiment is here, I request to see you immediately."
Shen Chengfeng nodded and walked quickly towards the camp.
It was the battalion commander, Major Xu Hui.
Xu Fu was sitting in his office when he heard movement outside the door. He hurriedly stood up.
Shen Chengfeng pushed open the door, put on a pair of clean gloves and took off his jacket.
Xu Wen saluted respectfully and said impatiently, "Sir, I wonder if you still remember the recruit Jiang Shi that you were waiting for a while ago?"
"What's wrong with him?"
"Last week, Jiang Shi was on a mission and went missing at the border. We suspect that he was captured by the Viper Mercenaries of M Country."
Xu Fu went straight to the point.
Shen Chengfeng paused for a moment, put his hands on the table and asked uncomprehendingly, "What mission?"
Xu Fu wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
"I remember that there is only one mission related to the border of the Temple of Songo. This is an S-class mission, and it cannot be assigned to an ordinary officer of the ordinary army. At the very least, it should be issued by the Special Forces. Why must we send the Colonel Jiang to complete it alone?"
"Jiang Shi volunteered. We combined his results. He trained with the Special Forces for a period of time, so his reaction and detection abilities are top-notch. Originally, we thought he would be able to complete this task with distinction. But we underestimated Viper's counterattack."
"You overestimate yourself."
Xu Fu furrowed his brows and said with some excitement: "We were originally planning to ask for help from Team S 138, but they sent out a series of missions and specifically recommended me to the 501 Iron-Hawk Squadron."
"I know, I will bring our warriors back safely."
Hui Fu straightened his body and saluted the officer.
Shen Chengfeng's fingers tapped on the table and his gaze landed on the computer screen. The last scene was fixed on Xiao Jing's page.
