Qin Xiao was waiting for Zhu Hong to send a signal, but he didn’t hear any movement outside the cave. So he leaned against the cave entrance to find out what was going on outside.
In the night fog, his vision was obstructed.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
Huang Chenghu heard something rolling in, and alertly picked up his gun and fired a shot.
“Bang, bang!” The tear gas bomb exploded, instantly choking up thick smoke.
“What did you do?” Qin Xiao shouted in surprise, and before he could say anything more, he subconsciously ran out of the cave.
“Bang!” The bullet broke through the air, passed through the rain curtain, was stained with water droplets, and finally hit Qin Xiao heavily.
The pain of being pierced by a bullet suddenly swept over him. He wiped his body, and before he could come to his senses, the sensor behind him began to turn red. He woke up and found that he was covered by white smoke.
“Captain?” Huang Chenghu didn’t dare to rush out rashly. He covered his nose with one hand and hurriedly took out the oxygen cylinder.
Qin Xiao stood outside the cave, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He felt a little embarrassed. As the leader of a team, he announced his retirement just after he appeared on the stage. He finally understood the feeling of Mo Luo of the War Wings Team.
However, rules were rules. He put down his gun, walked to the corner, and squatted beside Zhu Hong.
Zhu Hong whispered, “Captain, you were also killed.”
Qin Xiao lit a cigarette, “I want to beat someone up now.”
“Do you think we will be wiped out?”
Qin Xiao gave him a cold look and said nothing.
Zhu Hong looked up, accepting the invasion of cold raindrops, he said again: “I seem to see the wonderful scene of our whole team standing in a row later.”
“We have to keep in touch after we go back. Recently, you have been too arrogant. It would be great to be taught a lesson by the Iron Eagle Team.” Qin Xiao stepped on the cigarette butt and put his hands on his chin. Seeing the figure sneaking out of the woods, he stared and said: “Isn’t that a new recruit?”
Zhu Hong nodded and smiled bitterly, “I was kicked down by him.”
“…”
“You may not believe it, but this new recruit did not take the usual path. He actually grabbed the vines and flew over from behind me. Can you imagine that scene? I was concentrating on preparing to sneak attack Captain Shen, and suddenly my butt hurt and I fell down.”
“A sniper doesn’t even have this little ability to distinguish?” Qin Xiao frowned, “You need to practice how to identify objects by sound.”
“I thought I would be discovered by Captain Shen, but I never thought I would be kicked down. I was hiding in a ten-meter-high tree, and he just flew over there. Captain, it was like those monkeys in TV dramas. You know monkeys, they swing by vines.”
“Enough.” Qin Xiao held his forehead and felt that the soldier beside him had a concussion.
Xiao Jing noticed the prisoners who were mumbling and discussing something, and whispered to her captain, “What should we do now? They are already on guard.”
“Front-on.” Shen Chengfeng hooked his finger at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing frowned. How to attack from the front? Rush in with a rifle?
Zhu Qi hid behind the bunker, pointing the muzzle at the entrance of the cave, making sure to be ready to shoot immediately if there was any movement.
Huang Chenghu hid on the other side, the two of them were concentrating on waiting for the enemy’s invasion.
Time passed by minute by minute, the fire in the cave had been extinguished, and the entire cave entrance was dark.
“Coo, coo, coo.” A nightingale flapped its wings and flew past the cave.
The rain gradually became lighter, and water was dripping.
“Someone is coming.” Shen Chengfeng paid attention to the back. With such a big commotion just now, it was very likely that the people who were ambushing nearby must be coming over.
Xiao Jing stared in the direction of the person who was coming, and the footsteps were so light that they could be ignored. The person moved quickly and approached in almost the blink of an eye.
“Captain?” Mu Xichi poked out half of his head, and after making sure that the person who gestured to him in the dark was his own soldier, he put away his gun and walked over cautiously.
“You came at the right time, you can start the siege.” Shen Chengfeng waved to the two.
Mu Xichi and Cheng Chen did not hesitate for a moment, and they covered each other on the left and right and entered the cave.
“Bang, bang, bang.” The next moment, the sound of gunfire was amplified in the cave, crackling and making a lot of noise.
Xiao Jing became alert and noticed the movement behind her again. She crawled on the ground, not caring about the water stains under her body, staring at the figure that was getting closer and closer with a sharp gaze.
Qin Xiao closed his eyes, unable to bear the trend of one-sidedness. He looked at the team member who had just revealed half of his head and was declared dead before he had time to show his full face. He couldn’t help but sigh, “God wants to kill me.”
“Captain, the deputy captain is also dead.” Zhu Hong took out a cigarette for him and handed it forward.
Huang Chenghu walked out of the cave, the white smoke on his body still spreading. He raised his hand and waved, walked straight to Qin Xiao, and squatted together. “We estimate that there are still five people left, but according to the speed of the Iron Eagle Team’s encirclement and suppression, today’s training should be declared over in less than half an hour.”
Qin Xiao suddenly felt very lonely. He smoked a cigarette without saying a word, looking at the only light in the dark night, and sighed, “Go back.”
“Captain, there are three more people in the northwest. The deputy captain and Jiang Xin went there together.” Mu Xichi reported the latest situation, but his eyes couldn’t help but look at his captain’s neck. Although the flashlight was a little weak, he still clearly saw the red dot on the captain’s neck.
He was suddenly hit like a thunderbolt, was this the legendary love bite!
Shen Chengfeng glanced at his bright eyes, took the pistol, and said: “Everyone should tidy up on the spot, rest for a night, and we will return to the camp tomorrow morning.”
After that, he carried his gun out of the cave.
Xiao Jing relaxed her tense nerves, rubbed her sore arms, and sat on the ground. She opened her backpack and checked all the supplies. Mu Xichi moved his feet slowly and asked politely, “How did you team up with the captain?”
“The captain was worried about me acting alone, so he asked me to go with him.” Xiao Jing said bluntly.
Mu Xichi frowned. Things were not as simple as they seemed.
Xiao Jing saw that he was hesitant to speak, and said, “Major Mu, do you want to say something to me?”
“The captain has always liked to act alone. This is the first time I have seen him take new people with him during training.”
“Maybe it’s because I look good. Unlike you rough guys, I am the face of our 501st Regiment.” Xiao Jing opened her mouth and showed her big white teeth without hesitation.
“…” Mu Xichi silently wiped the gun barrel, wondering whether to fire another blank shot.
Xiao Jing raised her hand and put it on his shoulder, smiling: “Don’t be discouraged, although you are a little ugly, you can make a living without relying on your face. After you retire, you can still go to perform. I think you are good at performing.”
Mu Xichi pushed his hand away and turned his back to her, “Let me tell you, before you came, I was the soldier who was inseparable from the captain. I hate you.”
“…” Xiao Jing’s mouth twitched. Did she accidentally rob his majestic captain? She hesitated about whether to comfort him.
Qin Xiao sat in the corner, staring at the whispering enemy with resentment, thinking that since the whole army had been wiped out and his face was lost, should he shoot them again to make himself feel more balanced?
“Captain, there is murderous intent in your eyes.” Huang Chenghu reminded in a low voice.
Qin Xiao quickly came back to his senses and concealed his true thoughts.
Huang Chenghu seemed to see through his intentions, and whispered in his ear: “Captain, we couldn’t defeat them in a sneak attack. Do you think we can win if we fight head-on?”
A basin of cold water poured down on him, completely extinguishing the increasingly fierce war fire in Qin Xiao’s heart. He shuddered all over and obediently took out his sleeping bag.
Huang Chenghu patted his shoulder gently, “It’s okay, anyway, the War Wings team was wiped out in front, we are still honorable in defeat.”
Qin Xiao slapped his hand away without leaving a trace and lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
The flames began to burn and serve as the lighting for the entire cave.
Lin Qi took out the compressed bread, opened the kettle, and handed it to Xiao Jing, and smiled honestly, “Eat something before you go to sleep.”
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, took his bread, and said, “I have more in my backpack.”
“Since it’s all out, eat first.” Lin Qi put the sleeping bag in order, “Go to sleep after you finish eating.”
Xiao Jing had just taken two bites when he saw a figure approaching from far away outside the cave.
Shen Chengfeng walked back to the cave in silence, holding a rabbit.
Xiao Jing saw the rabbit in his hand, patted the bread crumbs off her hand, trotted over, squatted beside him, gently touched the rabbit’s hair with her fingertips, and said with a smile, “Captain, are you preparing a snack?”
Shen Chengfeng ignored Xiao Jing’s smiling eyebrows, opened his backpack, took out a bottle of ointment, and treated the rabbit’s wound.
“…” Xiao Jing put her hands under her chin, pouted, and muttered, “Aren’t you going to kill the rabbit to eat?”
“Take it back and fatten it up before eating.” Shen Chengfeng said.
“It’s so tiring.”
“Want to eat it?”
Xiao Jing nodded, but hesitated and asked, “Can’t I eat it?”
“Although we in the special forces are used to seeing life and death, we are not vicious people who can take rabbits’ lives lightly. This is a life, a living life. Can you bear to eat it?” Shen Chengfeng asked back.
Xiao Jing took a step back involuntarily, looking at the 1.87-meter-tall man, holding a small rabbit that was only about 20 centimeters long in his hand, and it was still a dying rabbit, and saying those righteous words in his mouth. Why did she feel that he was a bit crazy?
Was the captain sick?
Shen Chengfeng put the rabbit on the ground, stared at it struggling to get up, and then said: “Any creature has the right to live.”
“Captain, didn’t you hurt this rabbit?”
“It was bitten. Judging from the wound, it should be a wild beast like a tiger or leopard.”
Xiao Jing moved over and gently poked the little rabbit that was lame in one leg and still stubbornly trying to crawl out of the cave, and said: “Captain likes this rabbit?”
Shen Chengfeng was silent.
“But I don’t like this kind of furry thing, especially cats.” Xiao Jing rubbed her nose and said, “I’m allergic.”
Shen Chengfeng picked up the rabbit and walked out of the cave without saying a word.
Xiao Jing blinked and saw the back of the proud figure who left with his cloak raised after a disagreement, and just sat by the fire and threw in a stick.
In a moment, Shen Chengfeng came back with the cleaned rabbit, set up a grill, and said: “It’s dead, let you eat it.”
“…”
Although it sounded a bit funny, Xiao Jing was looking forward to it.
The aroma of meat spread all over the closed cave. Qin Xiao, who was sleeping soundly, sat up in a daze, sniffed, and opened his eyes.
Cheng Chen sat in front of the fire. Although he meant to keep warm, anyone could see that his eyes were staring at the greasy and sizzling roasted meat.
“Captain Shen, your behavior is not kind. We are all comrades. How can you not call us when there is food?” Qin Xiao came forward and looked at the rabbit that was almost done with a covetous look.
Shen Chengfeng did not respond to Qin Xiao who came over, and just paid attention to roasting the meat.
The aroma of meat became stronger and stronger, attracting the other people in the cave to look up.
“Eat it.” Shen Chengfeng handed the roasted rabbit directly to Xiao Jing, and as for the other pairs of eyes, he completely ignored it.
Qin Xiao snorted coldly, “Team Tiange, get up, let’s go hunting.”
A group of people stood up and walked out of the cave excitedly.
“Captain, are you hungry?” Xiao Jing asked naturally.
Shen Chengfeng spread his hands and looked at the blood on his gloves. “Eat it.”
Xiao Jing tore off a piece of meat and handed it to him. “It’s so embarrassing for me to eat alone.”
“When have you ever been embarrassed?” Shen Chengfeng opened his mouth without thinking and ate the meat she handed over.
Xiao Jing smiled and said, “I know that I was a little too much when I secretly ate roast duck a few times before, but there are requirements in the army. I can’t bribe you with roast duck too obviously, right?”
“So it’s okay to bribe Mu Xichi?”
Xiao Jing’s hands froze and she bit the bone awkwardly.
Shen Chengfeng took out the sleeping bag from his backpack, entered it with his clothes on, and said, “Go to sleep after you finish eating, and leave at dawn tomorrow morning.”
Xiao Jing saluted his back, “Yes, Captain.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran to Lin Qi with the remaining rabbit meat, tore off a large piece for him, and smiled, “Here you go.”
Lin Qi was shocked and couldn’t believe that Xiao Jing would actually give him a piece. He just held it in both hands. This was not his first time eating meat, but it was the most satisfying one.
Shen Chengfeng opened his eyes and stared at the two figures in the corner who were eating happily, one bite at a time. He didn’t know when his gloves fell off, but with a press of his left hand, a big hole was torn in the sleeping bag.
Xiao Jing spat out the last piece of bone, wiped her mouth, hugged the sleeping bag, and closed her eyes with peace of mind.
Outside the cave, there were sparse sounds of animals moving around, but no wild beast dared to step in casually. They seemed to know that there was danger inside, and they were deterred by the smell of meat.
The dawn of the morning broke out, and the fire in the cave was only a pile of ashes.
Cheng Chen took out the kettle and poured water into the fire. After making sure that there was no flame, he followed the large group and left.
The thick forest blocked most of the sunlight. The wings of the helicopter flapped the leaves, and after staying for a while, it rose straight into the air.
“After returning, everyone will rest for two hours and gather at the C area training base at 3 pm.” Qi Yue gave the order.
“Yes, instructor.”
The helicopter slowly landed on the helipad of the camp.
As soon as Shen Chengfeng stepped down from the cabin, an officer ran over in a hurry.
The officer stood in military posture and said directly: “Sir, someone from the 118th Regiment is here, and he requested to see you immediately.”
Shen Chengfeng nodded and walked quickly towards the camp.
The person who came from the 118th Troop was Major Xu Fu, a battalion commander.
Xu Fu was sitting in his office. Hearing the noise outside the door, he stood up quickly.
Shen Chengfeng pushed the door open, put on a pair of clean gloves, and took off his coat.
Xu Fu saluted and said impatiently, “Sir, I wonder if you still remember Jiang Si, the new recruit who was selected a while ago?”
“What happened to him?”
“Last week, Jiang Si was on duty and disappeared at the border of Xu-E. We suspect that he was captured by the Viper mercenaries from Country M.” Xu Fu got straight to the point.
Shen Chengfeng paused, put his hands on the table, and asked, “What mission?”
Xu Fu hesitated.
“I remember that among the missions posted from above, only one was about the border of Xu-E. That was an S-level mission. It is impossible to hand it over to ordinary non-commissioned officers of ordinary troops. At least it should be completed with the assistance of the S Special Forces. Why did they send Jiang Si to complete it alone?”
“Jiang Si took the initiative to volunteer. We perused his achievements. He trained in the special forces for a period of time. His reaction and reconnaissance capabilities are top-notch. We originally thought that this mission could be completed excellently, but we underestimated the counterattack of the Viper.”
“You are overestimating your own abilities.”
Xu Fu frowned, a little excited, and said, “We were going to ask the S138 Regiment for assistance, but they sent out missions in succession and specially recommended me to the 501 Regiment Iron Eagle Special Forces.”
“I know. I will bring our soldiers back safely.”
Xu Fu straightened his body and saluted his superior.
Shen Chengfeng tapped the desktop with his fingertips, his eyes flickering on the computer screen, and finally the picture stopped on Xiao Jing’s page of information.
