The huge wings of the helicopter lowered slowly, causing the leaves of the big trees in the forest to rustle.
“One by one, jump off.” The safety rope was lowered in the cabin and tied to the safety buckle on everyone’s waist.
Xiao Jing was the fourth to jump out. The air pressure outside the cabin stung her eardrums. Her head shook and she was thrown out before she was ready.
The wind roared wildly in her ears, and her body lost gravity and fell straight down.
After putting down the six people, the helicopter returned to the original route without looking back.
The six people looked at each other. Here, they were comrades-in-arms and also enemies.
Lin Qi carefully checked the ammunition in his gun. After making sure that it was a real weapon, he shouldered his backpack with a solemn expression and said to Xiao Jing, “We are walking together.”
Xiao Jing naturally knew that she could not show off her personal heroism at this time. There were dangers everywhere here, and since she was a black hole on the road, it was best to work together as a team.
Lin Qi walked in front to clear the way. The forest was dense with trees and overgrown weeds, and the entire field of vision was blocked.
Xiao Jing was responsible for their rear. She paid attention to the movement behind her and walked carefully step by step.
“Crack.” The branch was broken by military boots, and Lin Qi stopped warily.
Xiao Jing whispered, “What’s wrong?”
“Be careful, there may be mercenaries here.” Lin Qi lowered his voice. They had to find a place with water to rest before dusk.
Xiao Jing’s heart was hanging high. This was her first time on the battlefield. The fear of death enveloped her like high-altitude air pressure. She maintained a high degree of vigilance and was always on guard.
Qi Yue sat in the office, looking at the real-time images sent back from the satellite map with great interest. Everyone was very calm, except of course Xiao Jing, who was in the same boat.
“Ding…” The phone rang in surprise.
Qi Yue pressed the answer button nonchalantly, “What’s going on?”
“Is Captain Shen there?” the visitor asked straight to the point.
Qi Yue glanced at Shen Chengfeng, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, nodded and said, “Please wait a moment.”
Shen Chengfeng took the phone. Because he hadn’t spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hazy when he spoke for the first time as he said, “It’s Shen Chengfeng.”
“Captain Shen, I am Huang Jianjiang, deputy team member of the 624th regiment. We were suddenly attacked by unknown enemies while performing a border patrol mission. Currently, there are 342 injured and eight soldiers are missing. I need support from the special operations team.”
Shen Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the 624th Regiment was the patrol force on the CX border. He also contacted their regiment leader when arranging the new recruits’ mission, and only chose it as the location for conducting the assessment after getting the exact information about the recent calm at the border.
Qi Yue noticed the sudden solemn atmosphere and asked hurriedly: “What’s wrong, captain?”
“What’s the situation now?” Shen Chengfeng raised his hand to signal Qi Yue to stay quiet.
The other party said again: “It’s complicated. The enemy attacked us and quickly evacuated. They even took away eight of our soldiers as hostages. Now the captain is leading the remaining ten people to rescue. We need the help of the special forces.”
“Got it. I will send troops immediately.” Shen Chengfeng hung up the phone.
Qi Yue frowned slightly and asked impatiently, “Did something happen?”
“Has the helicopter come back?” Shen Chengfeng asked.
Qi Yue nodded, “I just gave the instructions for it to return, what’s wrong?”
Shen Chengfeng put on his military hat and strode out of the office like a meteor, “Gather everyone together into a small team of seven people and divide them into two teams. One team is responsible for retrieving all the recruits, and the other is responsible for supporting the 624th Regiment in rescuing the hostages.”
Qi Yue looked stern and said in astonishment: “Captain, you mean the assessment location is red?”
Shen Chengfeng stopped and nodded solemnly, “Red alert, everyone pay attention to safety.”
“Beep beep beep.” Before he had finished speaking, an alarm sounded in the office.
Qi Yue hurriedly ran back, his pupils gathered, and the satellite positioning that was on the computer screen just now suddenly went out, and only a snowflake appeared on the entire screen.
“The drone has been discovered. The other party must know that we are conducting an exercise and assessment.” Qi Yue’s face lost the cynicism of the past, and at this moment, his eyes were filled with worry.
“Bang!”
A mushroom cloud suddenly exploded in the forest, and huge flames swallowed up hundreds of square meters of trees in an instant.
Xiao Jing lay on the ground, staring at the thick fog rising into the sky in disbelief, and couldn’t help but ask: “Was it a bomb just now?”
