Content Warning; war, violence, senseless death
In the closed command room, a wisp of cigarette smoke rose.
“Attack, leave no one alive.” After a while, the man looked at the bombed streets in the video with a smile, took a puff of cigarette, and raised the corners of his mouth high.
At this moment, he was looking down at the cowardice of these tiny creatures from a God’s perspective. He flicked the dust with his fingertips and smiled even more.
“General, something seems amiss.” A man on the other side pointed at several figures that suddenly flashed by in the video, his eyes sharp, “These people don’t look like they are from the Red Team!”
“They are just clowns. Attack them with all your strength. I want them to be annihilated and no one should survive!”
“Yes, General.”
The rumbling sound of running vehicles shook the streets, and the originally calm ground began to shake rhythmically and frequently.
Wherever the tanks passed, fire engulfed the sky.
Jiang Xin looked at the spreading flames in surprise, with only one word in his mind: massacre.
Yes, massacre in the city, their purpose was very simple, wherever their footsteps passed, no grass should grow!
“Let’s go.” Shen Chengfeng jumped out of the tank and led a group of people to run across the block carefully.
The noise from the vehicles behind him was getting louder and louder, and it even felt like it was very close.
“Captain.” Pei Yi heard the noise and hurriedly led a group of people to run over.
Shen Chengfeng saw the support, checked the number of bullets in the magazine, and said to Jiang Xin behind him: “You go first, I’ll cover you.”
“Team leader–“
“This is an order!”
“Yes, Captain.”
The group protected Feng Qing and retreated in an orderly manner.
Shen Chengfeng noticed several large artillery launchers that had come into sight, clenched his fists, and rushed towards them.
“Find the target, find the target, shoot, shoot.”
Bullets from the heavy machine gun came pouring down without stopping, followed by the sound of artillery shells entering the gate.
“Bang.” A deep hole was smashed into the ground.
Shen Chengfeng staggered away, the sand and stones blurring his eyes. He took a breath and raised his sniper rifle.
He then took out a grenade and threw it directly. A bullet penetrated the grenade and exploded under a car with a “bang”.
The bottom of the car was damaged and the engine oil mixed with gasoline began to leak out drop by drop.
Shen Chengfeng fired another shot quickly.
The bullet penetrated the bottom of the car like a dragon.
“Bang.” The car body exploded, and the impact caused even hit the two armored vehicles nearby.
“Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly.” Someone shouted, but before he could finish his words, a shell hit him.
The same rumbling of large armored vehicles was coming from the front of the Green Camp Army, and it looked like they were preparing to die together.
Shen Chengfeng took advantage of the chaos to evacuate from the alley.
The fierce flames of war flooded the entire city like a violent storm…
“Captain, are you okay?” Jiang Xin jumped down from a hidden tree, and looked at his captain who had escaped safely, and his heart slowly settled down.
“Everyone is back, right?” Shen Chengfeng walked into the church and inspected his elites one by one. Although everyone was injured to varying degrees, fortunately, the mission was accomplished.
“No, one person is missing.” Pei Yi’s heart sank. How could that little ancestor be missing?
Everyone around looked at each other and naturally knew who was missing.
Shen Chengfeng set his eyes on Lin Qi.
Lin Qi was shocked. He said hurriedly, “Didn’t you see Lieutenant Xiao? He went to support you.”
“The order I said was that he was responsible for bringing you back. Who gave him the courage to leave his post without permission?” Shen Chengfeng’s eyes were sharp, making everyone shudder.
Lin Qi clenched his fists, stood up from his chair, and explained: “I can act on my own. I don’t need him to stay. I thought he would join you.”
“Do you know what’s happening in the South City right now?” Shen Chengfeng changed his gun and turned his back to everyone. “All of you retreat and escort the Minister of State out of Country XX immediately.”
“Captain——” Mu Xichi took a step forward, “I’ll go with you.”
“It will be easier to be exposed if there are too many people. You guys leave first, and I will bring Xiao Jing back.” After saying that, Shen Chengfeng walked out of the church quickly without looking back.
“Everyone cheer up and retreat immediately.” Pei Yi took another look at the direction of South City that was burned red by the flames, and led everyone away in an orderly manner.
Lin Qi stood there motionless.
Pei Yi emphasized, “Obey orders.”
Lin Qi still didn’t move. He clenched his teeth and said, “I want to wait for Lieutenant Xiao.”
“I said you should obey orders.” Pei Yi’s eyes were solemn. “No one wants casualties, but even if there are casualties, we have to complete our mission and retreat.”
Lin Qi closed his eyes tightly, took trembling steps, and could hardly move forward.
Because of the full-scale riot, fleeing citizens could be seen almost everywhere. Some of them were even on fire and finally fell to the ground in pain.
Shen Chengfeng was not sure where Xiao Jing was, so he could only rush to the place where they separated.
The situation on the small streets was not as intense as on the big streets. Except for a few lone soldiers running by occasionally, it was surprisingly quiet here.
Shen Chengfeng moved quickly. He had to race against time to find Xiao Jing. It was very dangerous to act alone in a place like this. Once discovered, the chance of escape would be almost zero.
“Bang.” A stray bullet grazed the wall.
Shen Chengfeng jumped down from a broken wall and just took two steps when he suddenly stopped.
He turned his head and saw a small hand sticking out from the gap between the bricks and stones behind him. There was a glittering object in the hand, but he couldn’t see it clearly.
Shen Chengfeng approached slowly, his heart beat violent and uncontrollable. After taking two steps closer, when the eagle that symbolized freedom came into his sight, he almost subconsciously put down his pistol and began to dig at the pile of rubble that had been blown up without any composure.
Worried, more worried than ever before, he did not care about his identity and just dug at the stone recklessly, even though he was not sure if the person buried underneath was the one he was looking for.
Gradually, the buried figure revealed its arms, head, back, and finally the entire body.
Xiao Jing’s back was covered in blood from the bomb explosion, and blood flowed down her arms and soaked the pile of rocks beneath her.
She herself didn’t know how much effort it took for her to take out her team badge, and she didn’t even know if her teammates would notice her doing so.
But this was the only option she had. The stones on her body were too heavy, and her back felt like it was going through a bodybuilding exercise. She had no strength left, and her consciousness had begun to blur. She could only try her best to show her fingers to let people know that there was someone underneath.
Shen Chengfeng carefully held his face, gently wiped the dust off his face, and tried to call out, “Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, can you hear me?”
Xiao Jing felt someone’s warmth and she tried very hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt so heavy, so heavy that if she tried hard she would feel something rushing up from her heart and her mouth was full of the taste of rust.
“Cough, cough, cough.” Violent coughing sounds accompanied by blood clots came out of Xiao Jing’s mouth. She gasped for breath but never responded.
Shen Chengfeng noticed the sound of footsteps around him, so he picked him up on his back, picked up his gun and ran towards the safety of the suburbs.
After the large-scale massacre, corpses were everywhere. He couldn’t delay here for a minute. He even worried that the whole city would be blown up in the next moment.
Now that the rescue team had withdrawn, he had to find a safe place to wait for the next rescue to arrive.
The sunlight was somewhat scorching, and a huge explosion swept in again, as if wanting to add another touch of color to the sunlight. The scorching flames burned the entire city.
Shen Chengfeng ran all the way towards the small town. He looked at the isolated deep forest not far away and rushed in without hesitation.
The dew was heavy in the woods, and the muddy dirt soaked his entire trouser legs.
He had to find a safe place to immediately treat the wound on Xiao Jing’s back, otherwise he couldn’t guarantee whether this guy could hold on until the rescue plane arrived.
“Captain, captain.” A low murmur came out of Xiao Jing’s mouth.
Shen Chengfeng hummed, “I’m here.”
“Captain, captain.” Xiao Jing repeated the call again as if in a dream.
“I’m here.” Shen Chengfeng answered again.
“Captain.” The voice became weaker and weaker, and Xiao Jing’s call was almost inaudible.
Shen Chengfeng found a place with water, put him down urgently, and rummaged through the small bag that Xiao Jing carried with him. He knew that he would have the medicine given by Xiao Yu.
Xiao Jing lay motionless on the ground, the gunshot wound on her shoulder beginning to bleed again. She was a little dazed, and she seemed to see a vague figure in the faint light. She blinked, very tired, really very tired, and could not help but close her eyes again.
Shen Chengfeng searched for a long time and finally found the small porcelain bottle. He lowered his head and tore open Xiao Jing’s already tattered clothes with light movements.
Blood oozed from the wound, and Xiao Jing’s body couldn’t help but spasm in pain almost every time she moved.
Shen Chengfeng lowered his head to his ear and whispered, “Bear with it, it will be fine soon.”
Without a response, Shen Chengfeng carefully tore open his coat and frowned as he saw that the T-shirt was stuck to the wound.
He paused for a moment, the injury was so severe that his entire back was almost unbearable to look at.
“Captain, it hurts so much, Captain.” Xiao Jing murmured again, her fingers bent unnaturally. One could imagine what kind of pain she was facing, it must be like a catastrophe.
Shen Chengfeng took off his clothes and put them to his mouth, then said, “Bite it.”
Xiao Jing did not move.
Shen Chengfeng also felt that his brain was a little slow. He actually expected the unconscious person to obey his instructions. He put down his clothes and began to clean the wound on his back bit by bit.
When the first broken piece of clothing was torn off.
“Yeah.” Xiao Jing’s hands trembled. She could feel the pain of her skin being torn apart. She frowned tightly and couldn’t help but shout again, “It hurts.”
Shen Chengfeng couldn’t help but retract his hand.
He was stunned. In the past, when he was treating the soldiers, no one dared to cry out in pain.
No, he didn’t seem to have personally treated any soldiers, including Mu Xichi, Pei Yi and others.
He was the captain, a general who commanded everyone’s support. When would he have had the opportunity to take care of a small soldier like this?
He couldn’t help but frown, thinking that he really cared too much about Xiao Jing.
“Captain, it hurts.” Xiao Jing murmured again.
Shen Chengfeng lowered his voice and said softly, “It will be fine soon, just bear with it.”
He subconsciously slowed down his movements, but after pulling aside a layer of T-shirt, his hands suddenly stopped. There was actually a layer of something still stuck on his wound?
Shen Chengfeng lowered his head and carefully studied the things that were tightly wrapped around his body, his brows furrowed uncontrollably.
If these things were torn open, he would definitely suffer a second injury, but if they were not torn open and the wounds were not properly treated, the little soldier would definitely not survive the night.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Chengfeng searched his pocket and couldn’t help laughing at himself for actually carrying the chocolate given by this guy with him.
Xiao Jing felt someone pulling her mouth, and she opened it instinctively. Something sweet and bitter filled her mouth, and she licked her tongue to savor the taste.
“Bear with it.” Before he finished speaking, Shen Chengfeng pulled hard.
“Ah.” Xiao Jing suddenly opened her eyes wide. In the severe pain, she could almost feel that her soul seemed to have left her body. She seemed to have become an empty shell at this moment. Apart from the pain, her five senses were non-functioning. She could not hear, see, or taste.
Then, she fell heavily to the ground, her teeth chattering due to the severe pain, her pupils began to dilate, her vision began to blur, and even her breathing became difficult. Finally, she completely lost consciousness.
Shen Chengfeng hurriedly sprinkled hemostatic medicine on his back. He had to admit that the medicine given by Xiao Yu was very effective. The blood coagulated almost the moment it covered the wound.
The action was done in one go, but he unexpectedly felt exhausted. He touched his head and found it was covered in sweat.
He sat aside, catching his breath, then he tore off a piece of clothing, and ran to the stream to wet it with some water.
Shen Chengfeng gently patted Xiao Jing’s face, and after making sure that he had completely fainted, he gently moistened his mouth with the corner of his clothes.
The surroundings were very quiet, as if there was no war.
The sunlight sprinkled through the gaps in the trees, casting star-like spots. Shen Chengfeng lifted up the small body lying on the ground and prepared to start treating the gunshot wound on his shoulder.
The wound should be penetrating and very serious. Blood would gush out almost with every movement.
Shen Chengfeng moved very carefully to avoid aggravating the little soldier’s injuries, and he carefully took off his clothes.
In the woods, there were birds flapping their wings, fallen leaves swirling down, the sparse sounds of snakes and insects moving, and the imperceptible sound of trickling streams.
Shen Chengfeng’s hand suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell straight, clearly, and without any hesitation on Xiao Jing’s heart.
He looked at his chest again uncertainly, at his own strong muscles, and then looked at his chest again. Why did he feel something was wrong?
He subconsciously reached out his hand to touch it, and finally turned his head away in panic. Because he was too panicked, more panicked than ever before, his movements were too stiff, and with a click, he almost broke his neck.
A face full of confusion!
“Bang.” The bird was flying so happily but it lost its balance and crashed directly into the tree trunk.
Shen Chengfeng shook his head, came back to his senses, looked around with his eyes wandering, and then shook all the medicine powder on Xiao Jing’s body based on his feeling.
After applying the medicine, he put her back on the ground, looked at her torn clothes, frowned, and put his clothes on her shoulders.
The surroundings were still as quiet as before, as if the peace was not disturbed by the sudden presence of the two of them.
Shen Chengfeng sat on the ground, looking at the pale face with a serious look.
When they first met, she was very clean, with a pretty face that seemed a little out of place with the other people in the barracks.
He never doubted whether this person was a man or a woman, or why she pretended to be a man. Such a mistake would not have happened in a place like a military camp, not to mention that this person was the fourth son of the Xiao family.
How could a prominent family like the Xiao family allow such a mistake to happen?
“Crack.” The branch broke in his hand.
Shen Chengfeng stood up and walked straight into the lake.
The originally quiet water surface began to boil, and bubbles broke the balance of the water surface. He buried his head in the water and held his breath.
My authority has been insulted, my intelligence has been insulted, and my gender has been insulted!
She is actually a woman, actually a woman!
Night began to fall, there was a slight chilly breeze rustling through the treetops, the birds were still flapping their wings happily, the fallen leaves were swirling down, and there was the sound of running water flowing softly.
The person lying on the ground and sleeping gradually opened her eyes, and her hands were gently bent.
Xiao Jing was a little dazed. The environment in front of her was so quiet that she wondered if she was dead.
She moved her body stiffly, and suddenly a burst of severe pain broke out in her back. She woke up as if from a dream and realized that she was still alive.
But what was this place? Such a quiet place, could it be that she had returned home safely?
She looked around in panic, it was as if there was no living creature in the entire forest except her.
Wait, she looked carefully and saw that the stream pool not far ahead seemed to be bubbling, the water was boiling, hot steam was rising, and there was a head floating under the water.
The author has something to say:
I had originally planned to divide it into chapters, but I felt that this kind of exciting moment is much better. Today’s chapter is a big chapter and there are no chapters, so don’t blame me for not updating twice.
In this exciting final moment, shouldn’t we spend a few tickets to celebrate?
We’ll continue tomorrow. It’s so exciting to see my Third Master looking confused.
