“Captain!” Xiao Jing panted as she looked at the tall figure blocking her. At that moment, no matter how indestructible she was, she was like a delicate flower protected by the captain. She couldn’t help but feel a little moved.
Shen Chengfeng glanced at him and said coldly, “In the past training of the Iron Eagle Special Forces, there have always been no casualties. I don’t want you, a new recruit, to ruin our achievements over the past few years.”
“…” I take back my feelings.
After Shen Chengfeng was sure that the other side had retreated again, he stood up and took out binoculars to observe the surroundings.
Lin Qi ran over cautiously and asked anxiously, “Are you not injured?”
Xiao Jing stood up awkwardly, patted the dirt off her body, and shook her head, saying, “It’s okay. If it weren’t for the captain, I think I would have been killed.”
“It’s because we are inexperienced that we almost fell into the trap of the Tiange team. But when did the captain hide in the tree?” Lin Qi looked at the tree that was more than ten meters high, and suddenly remembered the scene when his captain just jumped down majestically. That aura instantly defeated the enemy army for hundreds of miles.
Shen Chengfeng put his gun back into the holster, took a look at the two people who were obviously sending themselves to death, and said indifferently: “Lin Qi will meet Jiang Xin about 500 meters ahead. As for Xiao Jing, follow me.”
“Yes, Captain.” Lin Qi held the sniper rifle tightly and ran into the depths of the jungle carefully.
Xiao Jing packed up her things and followed Shen Chengfeng closely. She was not sure why the captain asked her to follow him. Did he think that she was a scumbag who was cheating her teammates? And whoever she teamed up with would be a huge black hole?
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Shen Chengfeng opened the map and carefully checked the surrounding geographical environment.
Xiao Jing squatted beside him and couldn’t help asking, “Why did the captain ask me to follow you?”
“The meaning of this training itself is to learn from each other. Lin Qi is too sharp. If you follow him, he will only protect you and forget the meaning of the training itself.”
“…” Xiao Jing’s eyebrows twitched. From the captain’s words, she seemed to see the next scene after another.
Forget about charging into battle, she would probably be thrown out by her own captain at any time. As the name suggested, show your courage, run, shoot, and fight happily together.
Xiao Jing shook her head. She felt that she would be full of holes in a while.
“Although this MP-5 is light, its range is short and it is not suitable for you.” After that, Shen Chengfeng personally assembled another gun and threw it directly towards Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing studied it carefully. She had studied this gun before. It was an AUG assault rifle. It had no buttstock, a plastic gun body, clairvoyance, and modularity. It was easy to carry, corrosion-resistant, and equipped with a high-power sight. The range was naturally much stronger than the MP-5.
“Let’s go.” Shen Chengfeng carefully cleared the way in front and seemed to be more familiar with the geographical environment here.
Xiao Jing looked at the figure only one meter away from her. For some reason, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
“Do you know the key points of shooting?” Shen Chengfeng suddenly squatted down.
Xiao Jing hurriedly squatted down together. She stared at him without blinking, and only heard him continue to talk.
Shen Chengfeng’s gloved hand gently stroked the gun barrel and adjusted the scope. He said: “Long-range shooting is different from the fixed-point shooting in our training. It needs to be coordinated with wind speed and air pressure. Sniper experts will first calculate the physical pressure generated by the shooting distance in their minds. After hundreds of times of practice, they dare to guarantee that every shot will hit the target.”
“…” It turned out that in this military camp, if you want to be a strong person, you have to be a top student.
“Sometimes you think you have focused very accurately, but after firing a shot, you will find that you have deviated from the track, like this.” Shen Chengfeng grabbed Xiao Jing’s hand, lowered his head, and let his focus fall on the gun barrel.
Xiao Jing felt him press against her back, and his shallow breath spray on her neck, which was a little hot.
Shen Chengfeng held his hand and said in a low voice, “Pay attention to the front, there is a prey about 300 meters away.”
Xiao Jing couldn’t help shrinking her neck. She felt that her hands seemed to be shaking slightly uncontrollably.
Shen Chengfeng continued, “Begin.”
Before he finished speaking, the bullet flew away rapidly with a bang.
“Pop!” The enemy who was hiding in the bushes waiting for an opportunity in the smoke was declared dead before he could react.
Shen Chengfeng let go of Xiao Jing’s hand and continued, “Did you see how I shot just now?”
“…” Dare I say I was a little absent-minded just now?
Seeing that he didn’t reply, Shen Chengfeng emphasized his tone, “Did you hear me clearly?”
Xiao Jing nodded like pounding garlic and said hurriedly, “I heard it clearly.”
“Then you shoot the next prey.” Shen Chengfeng squatted aside, waiting for her attack leisurely.
Xiao Jing crawled on the ground, carefully observing the movement in front of him, because they had just fired a shot, and the enemies hiding around would naturally find their traces.
“Here it comes.” Shen Chengfeng listened attentively and alertly discovered the prey that was moving slowly.
Xiao Jing did not hesitate for a moment and took the initiative to pull the trigger.
“Bang!” The bullet rushed out, but contrary to expectations, it fell one centimeter in front of the prey.
Shen Chengfeng quickly grabbed his hand and fired another shot, saying: “A wise man will make mistakes even if he makes a thousand plans. Even if you miss this shot, you must make up the next one in time to ensure that there is no mistake.”
Xiao Jing raised her eyes, and the corner of her eyes just touched his perfect facial contours. The face was so close that she could capture everything about him, including the enviable skin. Maybe because he was used to wrapping himself, the skin on his neck was particularly white. Although it was a bit unbelievable, Xiao Jing felt that she wanted to touch it.
“What are you looking at?” Shen Chengfeng lowered his eyes, and his pupils were deeply engraved with his magnified facial features.
Xiao Jing hastily retracted her gaze, her cheeks slightly flushed, she said with a guilty conscience: “I just think what the captain said is right, I was fascinated by it.”
Shen Chengfeng gave up hiding, looked at the calm front, stood up and continued to move forward.
Xiao Jing packed up her things and followed him step by step. The sun fell like a beam of light in every gap between the trees, shining on his body, as if there was a burst of light, making him look especially dazzling.
Unconsciously, she began to walk with her hands and feet together, like a clumsy duck.
“Be careful.” The sudden cry echoed in the depths of the forest.
Xiao Jing instinctively raised her head, and before she could react, the light and shadow in front of her suddenly disappeared, and she only saw her captain rushing towards her.
Shen Chengfeng frowned, and at the moment when he threw Xiao Jing to the ground, he pinched the black snake that suddenly attacked from the tree trunk.
The snake’s tongue exhaled cold air, and the moment it touched Shen Chengfeng’s gloves, it slipped out of his grip.
Xiao Jing came to her senses, took out a sharp knife and stabbed it hard, nailing it to the tree.
The black snake trembled violently, and its head swung around. The sharp fangs glowed a strange green in the sun, and it bit Shen Chengfeng’s neck, the only part without protection.
The snake head bit him, then in pain it slowly turned into a pool of black water, leaving behind a disgusting stench.
Xiao Jing’s face was stern. She obviously did not expect the sudden scene of her captain being bitten back by the snake.
Shen Chengfeng staggered a step and covered his neck. His skin could not be touched by the snake, but he did not expect that the snake would bite him with the idea of dying together.
The wound was small and almost negligible, but this was a poisonous snake!
The venom was like a bottle of anesthetic that instantly paralyzed his body, causing him to stagger a step and then fall to the ground exhausted.
Xiao Jing lifted her head and called softly, “Captain, Captain?”
Shen Chengfeng shook his head, his consciousness kept moving away and near.
Xiao Jing directly tore off her military uniform, without caring who was in her hands, and bit his neck.
With a streak of pain coming, Shen Chengfeng suddenly woke up. He pulled Xiao Jing’s head apart and yelled, “It’s poisonous.”
Xiao Jing spat out the blood she had sucked out and wiped it off without caring. “My body is very strange. Anything that corrodes is no threat to me, and of course this venom is the same.”
After that, she supported his head with both hands and continued to move closer.
Shen Chengfeng reacted a step late. He only felt that the numbness on his neck seemed to be relieved a lot, but it was just a little itchy.
After spitting out the remaining venomous blood, Xiao Jing hurriedly searched through her backpack. There were many antidotes to suppress snake venom in the necessities distributed before leaving.
“Those medicines are useless, and this little poison has little effect on me.” Shen Chengfeng stood up and shook his body involuntarily.
Xiao Jing supported him, squeezed the ointment on her hand, and said cautiously, “Let’s just try it.”
Shen Chengfeng was going to refuse. This ordinary ointment would be corroded cleanly before it could take effect on himself.
Xiao Jing was overjoyed when she saw the ointment seeping into the wound, “Captain, it works.”
Shen Chengfeng’s heart stagnated, and he touched his neck. There was still a thin layer of ointment on the wound, and it indeed did not evaporate by coming in contact with him.
Xiao Jing wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth and blamed herself, “I have implicated you.”
“Such deep mountains and old forests are full of dangers. It’s not that you have implicated me, but these creatures don’t like to be disturbed by humans. Be careful.” Shen Chengfeng looked at the medicine box in his hand with a sharp gaze. This was indeed just some ordinary medicine, not as good as the special medicine carefully researched by his second brother, but why was it effective for him?
“I know, I must always be vigilant.” Xiao Jing took out a clean towel and wiped the excess blood from Shen Chengfeng’s neck.
The breeze blew gently, and the treetops rustled lightly. There were dead leaves swirling in the wind and falling quietly on Xiao Jing’s head.
Shen Chengfeng subconsciously raised his hand and removed the leaves from his head for him.
The whole forest was so quiet that people couldn’t bear to break such peace.
Xiao Jing looked at the leaf in his hand and couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile. The soft sunlight happened to fall on her eyebrows at this time.
Shen Chengfeng blinked, and it seemed that a hole had been opened in his heart and something was forcefully breaking his composure.
Not far away, Mu Xichi, who was moving forward slowly, noticed signs of life and was ready to shoot, but when he aimed, he realized that one of the two people who were being affectionate in front was his captain.
Cheng Chen frowned, “It’s the captain, what are they doing?”
Mu Xichi put away his gun and blurted out, “Is the captain really like the rumors said?”
Cheng Chen naturally knew what he meant and said with a smile: “Those are all rumors and fabrications. We have been with the captain for so many years, have we ever seen him do anything inappropriate?”
“Then how do you explain it?” Mu Xichi pointed at the two people in front of him who seemed to be frozen. Looking at Xiao Jing’s coquettish smile, it was as if he wanted to tell the world that the captain rubbed his head, touched his face, and held hands.
“This–” Cheng Chen was speechless.
“Wait, what else does Xiao Jing want to do?” Mu Xichi stared in surprise, unable to bear to look at Xiao Jing who was becoming more and more unscrupulous. Cheng Chen took a breath and watched Xiao Jing lean on his captain’s shoulder. The intimate action was like a kiss! What was more terrifying was that the captain didn’t move and let him make trouble!
Shen Chengfeng felt Xiao Jing approaching, and he subconsciously turned towards his head. The two were so close that they almost touched his skin.
Xiao Jing gently blew away the small mosquitoes that flew over because of the smell of blood, and said, “Captain, have you been like this since birth, or did you become like this later because of some genetic mutation?”
Shen Chengfeng didn’t say anything, raised his hand to poke the face in front of him, picked up the weapon on the ground, and continued to walk forward.
Xiao Jing puffed her lips and followed closely behind, but couldn’t help asking again: “Can’t you reveal anything at all?”
“Why do you want to know this?” Shen Chengfeng asked back.
Xiao Jing saw that there was room for maneuver, and hurriedly said: “I think you can’t be like this since birth, so it should be-“
“There are many people who want to know this secret, and I only have one way to prevent this secret from being leaked. Do you want to know what the way is?”
Unconsciously, a cold wind blew silently around, which was three points colder than the sudden heavy snow in early winter.
Xiao Jing forced a bitter smile and said, “They say curiosity kills the cat. I think the ancients were right. I will keep my mouth shut about things I shouldn’t know and promise not to ask again.”
The forest returned to silence. The birds flapped their wings and soared above the sky. At night, it began to rain.
The rain hit her body, adding a bit of chill.
Xiao Jing squatted on the ground. She was wearing a thick armed bulletproof vest, so why was she still shivering with cold?
Shen Chengfeng opened the kettle and handed it to Xiao Jing in silence.
Xiao Jing took a sip of water, slowed down, and her voice was a little hoarse as she said, “Captain, where are we going now?”
“It’s dark, there are too many unknown dangers here, and we must find a place to shelter from the rain before nightfall.” Shen Chengfeng spread out the map and carefully distinguished the criss-crossing geographical environment on it.
“Is there a cave here?” Xiao Jing asked.
Shen Chengfeng looked in the direction he pointed and nodded, “If we can find it easily, others can find it easily too.”
Xiao Jing’s eyes flashed, and she deliberately lowered her voice, “Captain, I suddenly thought of a great strategy to defend against the enemy.”
Shen Chengfeng looked up and stared at him without blinking, as if he had guessed her cunning ideas from the depths of his pupils.
At night, the rain was getting heavier, and there was an intermittent sound of flowing water in the whole forest, lingering gently in the depths of the forest.
Two figures ran quickly, and their military boots stepped on the mud pit, splashing mud all over the ground.
In the cave, Qin Xiao was wiping his hair wettened by the rain, while using a flashlight to study the next strategy again.
“Captain, according to your instructions, Zhu Hong has already ambushed from a high place.” Zhu Qi entered the cave, sat around the fire, and enjoyed the warmth.
Qin Xiao raised his lips with pride, “They will definitely come here to take shelter from the rain. This game of waiting is much more interesting than cat and mouse.”
Huang Chenghu, deputy captain of the Tiange team, twitched his eyebrows, coughed lightly, and said, “Captain, we can’t guarantee that everything will go well. The temperature outside is too low now, and Zhu Hong’s ability to distinguish will also be affected. For safety reasons, we will change shifts every hour.”
“Well, we’ll do as you say.” Qin Xiao suddenly fell silent, covered his mouth with one hand, and said with a smile: “Listen, the prey has taken the bait.”
Outside the cave, on a tree trunk as high as ten meters, Zhu Hong perfectly used branches to cover his figure. The rain was hitting him relentlessly. He noticed the sound of light footsteps fifty meters away and immediately perked up.
Shen Chengfeng was running through the forest at a rapid speed. He was agile. The heavy rain was pouring down, creating a thin layer of mist, which covered his tracks in time.
Zhu Hong felt the opponent approaching, set up the sniper rifle, and put his index finger tightly on the trigger, concentrating on capturing the approach of the unknown enemy.
“Your opponent is here.”
Before the voice fell, Xiao Jing grabbed the vines with both hands and jumped up. She heard the sound of the wind and tasted the sweetness of the rain. She kicked her foot and directly swept the sniper with his back to her down from the tree.
Shen Chengfeng raised his gun, with the muzzle pointed at Zhu Hong’s forehead.
“Bang.” The bullet landed on Zhu Hong’s sensor, and white smoke suddenly rose, announcing his exit.
Xiao Jing climbed down from the tree, took out two canisters of tear gas from her backpack, looked at her captain meaningfully, and smiled.
