Lin Qi didn’t understand why the commander was staring at him like that. He carefully moved his feet, stood in military posture towards Shen Chengfeng, saluted, and said, “Commander.”
“Eat.” Shen Chengfeng said these two words coldly.
Lin Qi looked at the seat next to Xiao Jing, sat down directly, and said with a smile: “Eat, I know you like to eat meat, so I will give you my meat too.”
Xiao Jing saw the braised pork and a chicken leg piled up like a small mountain on her plate. She glanced at her superior who didn’t say anything, picked up her chopsticks and began to devour the food with relish.
“Eat slowly.” Lin Qi pushed the bowl of soup over.
Xiao Jing grinned and said, “Lin Qi, you eat too. Here’s some food for you.”
Lin Qi ate the food Xiao Jing brought over, and hurriedly passed some of the pickled radish on his plate to her, saying, “Eat something appetizing. I heard you have a bad stomach. Eat something appetizing to help digestion.”
Xiao Jing handed over her steamed bun and said, “I thought the steamed bun you gave me was delicious last time, so I will give you one today.”
Lin Qi broke it in half, gave half back, and said with a smile, “Let’s eat together.”
“Bang!” Shen Chengfeng slammed the table and stood up, looking down coldly at the two people who were eating and laughing together.
Xiao Jing blinked and swallowed the bun in her mouth. Then she whispered, “Captain, are you full?”
Shen Chengfeng glared at the young soldier who asked the question condescendingly, then strode out of the cafeteria without saying a word.
Outside the cafeteria, the sun had already set completely, and the entire camp was filled with silence.
Shen Chengfeng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything in front of him was clear.
He didn’t know what happened to him just now, he just felt a sudden urge to hit someone.
He raised his head and touched his forehead. Could it be that the wound was infected and caused him to become a little unclear?
Xiao Jing wiped her mouth, stood up, and said to Lin Qi: “I’m full, I’m leaving first.”
Before Lin Qi could finish his words, he saw Xiao Jing running out of the cafeteria. He looked at the large plate of braised pork left on the plate and frowned slightly.
“Dong.” Jiang Xin sat aside with his meal in hand, smacking his lips, “Seventeen, Seventeen, why don’t you have a good eye?”
Lin Qi was confused and asked, “What do you mean?”
Jiang Xin pointed to the almost finished plate next to him with his chopsticks and said, “Didn’t you see the thick atmosphere between the captain and Little Eighteen before you showed up?”
“I only heard Lieutenant Xiao say he was very hungry, so I served him food out of kindness, isn’t that right?”
“Of course you are wrong. Don’t you see that there is no one sitting around this table? Do you know why we deliberately sit far away to eat? Do we like squatting in the corner to feed mosquitoes? We just want to give the captain and Little Eighteen some private space. They need to eat in peace.”
“…”
“You said you would show up, so why are you still picking up food from our little Eighteen? Don’t you feel a very hot gaze above your head that seems to want to burn you to death?”
Lin Qi stirred the chopsticks in his hand. He did feel someone staring at him, but——
“Stay away from Little Eighteen from now on, or the captain will get angry and slap you in the face.”
“Bang.” Lin Qi stood up, took a breath, and said fiercely: “Don’t say that, Xiao Jing is not that kind of person. He and the captain are just comrades-in-arms. Don’t use your imagination to slander him.”
Jiang Xin just blinked his eyes, and the plate in his hand suddenly disappeared, and was thrown back into the recycling pool the next moment.
Lin Qi then ran out of the cafeteria angrily.
Jiang Xin put down his chopsticks, and seeing the figure walking away after throwing his plate away, he jumped up and yelled, “Lin Qi, stop right there.”
The night was as foggy as before, and the guards were patrolling in an orderly manner.
After Xiao Jing finished her daily task of doing 200 push-ups, she just lay straight on the ground and looked up at the sky.
There were stars twinkling in the night sky. She raised her hand like a little child and prepared to shake it. The moment she clenched her hand, she smiled foolishly, as if she was holding the whole world. It was so beautiful.
Not far away, a person walked away quietly.
As the night deepened, the entire camp became bleak.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the sounds of passionate training could be heard one after another.
Xiao Jing followed closely behind Lin Qi, leaping across the mud, rolling twice the moment she landed, and then crawling over the low pile.
Lin Qi walked to the large net tied with ropes about five meters high and stretched out his hand to Xiao Jing, “Go.”
With the help of his pressure, Xiao Jing jumped up and climbed directly to a height of two meters, then quickly climbed up.
Qi Yue stood at the finish line, looking at the two people in perfect coordination, and said with a smile: “I think Xiao Jing is pretty good now. I have to say that the captain had a good vision at the time.”
“He has great potential, he just needed an opportunity.” Shen Chengfeng’s eyes fell directly on Lin Qi. He was indeed in no way inferior to anyone in the special forces team, but despite his sharp edge, he was willing to slow down for Xiao Jing.
“This Lin Qi is not bad either. The two of them have just arrived at the special operations team. Logically speaking, these daily trainings should be a bit strenuous for them. They are indeed remarkable. Although they still have some shortcomings, they are much better than Mu Xichi and his classmates.” Qi Yue said again.
“Let’s move on to the next one.”
Qi Yue looked at Shen Chengfeng who was leaving and nodded, “Yes, Captain.”
The eighteen members of the special forces team lined up in a row, each holding a weapon of their choice.
Qi Yue walked past several people one by one and said, “Firing from a height of one hundred meters, firing ten bullets in a row, without locating the target, not only tests your concentration, but also your reaction speed. Lang Cheng, you come and demonstrate it.”
“Yes, instructor.” Lang Cheng walked out of the queue, sniper rifle loaded, he concentrated on aiming at the sight, the sunlight was a little dazzling, so it was a little blurry when it fell into his eyes.
“Bang.” A frisbee suddenly flew out from the southwest.
“Bang.” The bullet rushed out of the gun and shattered the flying disc as expected.
“Bang, bang, bang.” Three flying discs were sent out simultaneously from the east, south and west.
“Snap.” Lang Cheng clicked his index finger and fired three bullets in succession, all of which hit the target and shattered all the flying discs.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.” The remaining six frisbees flew out together, bullets penetrated the frisbees, and the colorful powder came to a brilliant end like exploding fireworks.
“Very good.” Qi Yue smiled, “Who will volunteer to try second?”
“I’ll do it.” Jin Shan walked out of the queue.
Qi Yue nodded.
The sky was once again filled with colorful colors, and every bullet hit the target.
“Next, follow the sequence.” Qi Yue’s mirror reflected everyone and finally stopped on Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing walked out of the queue, her palms were already sweating. Although she didn’t have the momentum to hit the target every time she shot for the first time, she definitely wouldn’t fail.
“Bang.” She aimed at the prey and fired the bullet quickly.
The flying disc broke into pieces, leaving a smudge of white dust in the sky.
Three frisbees were launched at once, and she watched intently as they were fired one after another in an orderly fashion, shattering in the same manner.
Only during the last six bursts, one bullet grazed the edge of the plate and did not break.
Qi Yue stared at the little figure standing in the sun with sweat on his face with his sharp eyes, and with a stroke of his pen, he gave her a big pass and said, “Very good, return to the team.”
Xiao Jing stood straight and marched back to the team.
Lin Qi grinned at him, “Very impressive, nine out of ten hits, the same result as Jiang Xin and the others.”
Xiao Jing blushed and replied with a smile: “Don’t laugh at me, I can’t compare to your 10-for-10.”
“If I say it’s a coincidence, would you believe it?” Lin Qi said honestly, showing his big white teeth.
Xiao Jing snorted, “There is no such thing as coincidence when it comes to firearms. I believe more in your true strength.”
“I am just trying to make myself stronger. So that when I go on missions in the future, my comrades will be able to escape unscathed under my protection.”
Xiao Jing looked at him. The sunlight was very harsh and her vision was a little blurry. But somehow the face that was so close to her seemed to have silently distanced herself from him.
Lin Qi raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Jing shook her head, “Nothing, I was just a little dazed.”
“Beep!” The bugle sounded, and a deafening sound echoed throughout the camp.
“What’s going on?” Xiao Jing asked without hesitation.
Qi Yue’s expression was stern, “Red alert, something has happened.”
After hearing that, everyone ran towards the playground almost at the same time.
There was a special car parked in front of the camp, and a man with a serious expression got out of the car.
Shen Chengfeng saluted the visitor.
The commander from the 1101st unit handed over the letter personally and said solemnly, “A total of three special forces have been dispatched this time. The situation is urgent. Please send troops as soon as possible.”
Qi Yue led everyone to stand in two rows on the playground, waiting for orders from their superiors with serious expressions.
Shen Chengfeng opened the letter, and his originally serious face suddenly became three points gloomier.
“Captain, what’s wrong?” Qi Yue asked cautiously.
Shen Chengfeng handed over the envelope in his hand and said, “There is a full-scale riot in XX country. Now the whole country is burning, killing and looting. We need to bring back all the Huaguo people in XX country as soon as possible, including Minister Feng Qing and his party who went for a visit last week.”
“Since three special forces were dispatched this time, the instructions from above are that Captain Shen is expected to escort Minister Feng Qing back safely.” The visitor continued.
“I will be out immediately. Everyone has ten minutes to get ready and gather in the playground.”
Xiao Jing followed behind Lin Qi and lowered her voice, “Are we all going out?”
“It seems that the situation is very urgent. Generally speaking, the whole team does not need to be mobilized. From what the captain said, it is a full-scale riot. I guess the situation in XX country is not optimistic now.” Lin Qi said.
“The Secretary of State would definitely carefully investigate the national conditions of other countries before visiting. Was there no news at all before this?” Xiao Jing frowned.
“It’s hard to say. Many places like to take things by surprise. Country XX has been divided into two factions in recent years. Riots are inevitable. I just didn’t expect that this time it would happen during the Secretary of State’s visit.”
Xiao Jing returned to the dormitory and changed her clothes. Knowing the captain’s intention for asking them to go back, she opened the drawer and wrote a line of words as well. Then she folded it and put it back in the drawer… The word “suicide note” was eye-catching!
“Let’s go!” The helicopter hovered in the air, and its huge wings vibrated with a roar.
Inside the cabin, everyone looked solemn, and almost no one spoke in the entire space.
Shen Chengfeng quietly flipped through the images transmitted from above. There was gunfire and bullets flying everywhere, and the bodies of the dead residents could be seen everywhere in the entire block.
The greatest harm caused by the conflict between the two factions in national conditions was large-scale massacres, and they even killed people without asking why.
“Captain, our mission is to bring back the Secretary of State, so what about these people?” Qi Yue broke the dull atmosphere in the cabin and asked.
“I don’t know which two special forces have been assigned, but I estimate that they will be the two with the strongest combat effectiveness, the Zhenghu Special Forces and the Zhanyi Special Forces. These two are currently SSS-level special forces. They will be dispatched in a battle like this.”
“If it really is these two special forces teams, then there is nothing to worry about.”
“The Secretary of State should be taking refuge in the Great No. 1 Embassy now, but we have learned that the Great No. 1 Embassy has been captured, so it is very likely that he has fallen into the hands of a certain army of Country XX. During the secret operation, everyone will be divided into four teams. After daybreak, gather at this location.” Shen Chengfeng pointed to the location marked with a red mark.
That was the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in XX country. There was a lot of vegetation on all sides, which provided perfect cover.
The helicopter landed in the Saiyi rain forest in the southwest of XX country at night. The natural and unique large trees and shrubs provided shelter for everyone to sneak in secretly.
“Follow me.” Shen Chengfeng held Xiao Jing’s hand, telling him not to leave rashly.
Xiao Jing stopped and looked at Shen Chengfeng, saying, “Captain, shouldn’t you be working with Major Mu and the others?”
“This is not the first time they have fought on a battlefield like this. They have more experience than you. Just follow me.” Shen Chengfeng loaded the bullets and walked quickly through the jungle.
Xiao Jing didn’t ask any more questions and followed him nervously.
As night fell, the remote town far away from the capital of Country XX seemed as if a war had just broken out there. Fires caused by bombs were burning fiercely, and the entire neighborhood was filled with the smell of blood and ammunition.
“Bang.” Xiao Jing kicked a helmet on the side of the road. Looking at the corpses two meters away from her, she couldn’t help but redden her eyes.
“Be careful.” Shen Chengfeng carefully looked around. After making sure that everyone here had been slaughtered, he waved to Xiao Jing and said, “Follow me.”
Xiao Jing quickly came to her senses and followed Shen Chengfeng into a small church.
“Oh, I beg you, please let me go, let my child go, I beg you.” The woman’s shrill cries echoed in the enclosed space.
A man in camouflage uniform lifted the woman’s chin with a smile and said coldly: “Stinky woman, I told you to support the rebels, I told you to support the rebels.”
The man cursed and hit the woman’s head hard and kicked the motionless little boy on the ground.
“I beg you, I was wrong, I was wrong.”
The man raised his gun, a smug smile on his face, “Go to hell.”
“Bang.” A bullet shot out from the muzzle.
The woman instinctively raised her hands to protect her child, but she waited for a while and realized that her body did not feel the pain from being shot, so she opened her eyes in panic.
The man’s body swayed, and finally he lay on his back, with blood oozing out of a bloody hole in the middle of his head.
“There are enemies.” The man sitting nearby and smoking jumped up alertly, but before he could turn around, the bullet had penetrated his body and was embedded in the wall.
“Ah, ah.” The woman lost her composure and screamed madly.
The soldiers around heard the noise and rushed out one after another.
“Shut up. Shut up if you don’t want to die.” Shen Chengfeng stepped forward quickly and glared at the woman who was still screaming wildly.
The woman was so frightened that she dared not say a word and just stared at the unfamiliar man without blinking.
Xiao Jing hid behind a chair and started shooting continuously after noticing someone entering.
After the soldiers outside learned that the people inside were armed, they no longer rushed in rashly. The tanks crushed the debris on both sides of the street, and the muzzles of their guns were pointed directly at the church gate.
“Go.” Shen Chengfeng yelled at the woman.
The woman reacted and hurriedly ran towards the back door.
Xiao Jing heard the rumbling sound outside. She swallowed and glanced at her captain. The two of them nodded tacitly.
“Fire.” The soldier waved his hand high.
Shen Chengfeng covered Xiao Jing with his hands, and they both fell to the ground at the same time.
The church ten meters behind them was razed to the ground in an instant. The raging flames illuminated the entire night sky, making the cunning smiles of the enemy soldiers brilliant.
“Keep firing.” The soldiers shouted, and some fired guns into the air.
The roar of the tanks shattered the tranquility of the entire town. The gunfire was like a sudden acid rain, leaving no grass growing wherever it passed.
Xiao Jing stood on the high slope panting, looking at the town engulfed in flames and the countless dead souls in the town, tightly clenching the gun in his hand.
Is this war?
