The battle has begun again. I am really not sure whether I can defeat this strong man in front of me. Although the others beat Xia Xia and others to a pulp, they are really nothing compared to the man in front of me.
There's no comparison at all.
His attack was very fierce, and his moves were extremely sharp. I could only parry, but I had no chance to fight back. What's more, I was exhausted now, and it was still unknown whether I could persist.
Holding my stomach that was kicked, I frowned and looked at this person carefully. I suddenly found that this person looked very much like my reconnaissance company in terms of his body shape and the exposed eyes and expressions.
The company commander——Deng Ye. Is he...Deng Ye?
"Continue..." He had suppressed too many worries and finally broke out at this moment. Looking at the beating getting harder and harder, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, which was incredible. It was obvious that he knew my background and he understood me very well.
.
"Instructor!" I suddenly shouted, and just when the man was stunned for a second, I successfully hit his left face with a roundhouse kick, and the man fell to the ground instantly.
He stood up unwillingly and looked at me fiercely.
"Actually..." Before I could finish my words, a scream echoed through the sky from behind: "Ah!!! I give up! I said it!"
It's Chu Qiao, she gave up. She surrendered. She forgot what a soldier cannot do until death, that is, surrender. We can keep the last bullet for ourselves, but this does not mean failure, even more
It does not mean surrender. Squad Leader Tudou once said: Even if you die, you must die on the battlefield, and even if you die, you must die neatly! And at this moment, this day, seeing that we are one step away from success, Chu Qiao lost.
She gave up. She forgot how she got through these twenty-eight days. Maybe she was not suitable to be a soldier at all.
"No! You can't admit defeat! You can't just give up!" Jiang Wan, who had not been dragged away, shouted loudly when she saw this scene.
Chu Qiao didn't speak, just shook her head in pain.
I have always understood that in the face of death, any belief and ideal will become vulnerable. However, I did not expect that this vulnerability would come so quickly and befall Chu Qiao.
My neck hurt and I was knocked unconscious again.
When I woke up again, it was already dark. The other people were also beside me, and we were thrown in an unknown place. There was no map, and there was no sun. We couldn't determine our current location at all.
Seeing everyone's scars, I feel really sad. However, this is the only way to win. We have no choice.
"Everyone, wake up! Wake up!" I pushed Yao Chi beside me anxiously. However, no one responded, let alone got up.
Finally, I pinched everyone's nose one by one. Because they couldn't breathe, everyone choked and woke up.
"What happened? It happened... uh, it hurts so much!"
"Xiaowei, slow down!"
I walked to Yue Ting and helped her up with difficulty. Excluding Chu Qiao, Yue Ting was the youngest among us and was also of average strength. In this close combat, she was whipped a lot, and she was also beaten again.
As a result of the torture, his body became weaker and weaker.
"Xiaomi, are you okay? Have you been tortured? Huh?"
Xia Xia gave Xia Xia a reassuring smile, and I replied lightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. By the way..." I took off my training uniform and jacket: "Xia Xia, put this on."
"how about you?"
"Why do you care so much! Come on! Put it on...I can't let you complete the task with your back exposed!"
Xia Xia had no choice but to listen to my words and put on her coat carefully.
"It seems that this is really a capture carefully arranged by the captain..."
"What do you say?" Wen He came over curiously.
"Look, Chu Qiao is gone." Xiaowei said seriously.
"I think she must have failed the torture test, so she was taken back."
"Muzi is right. Moreover, I am sure that the leader is the commander of our reconnaissance company - Deng Ye!"
"Are you sure?!" Yao Chi was shocked.
"I also thought this person's figure and eyes looked familiar. I didn't expect it to be Company Commander Deng."
"Okay, let's not talk about this problem for now. However, there is another problem that needs to be solved. You see..."
I pointed to my belt on my right side.
Only then did everyone notice that everyone was making a "dip, beep" sound.
"Time bomb?!"
"Xia Xia, can you do that?"
Meeting my look for help, Xia Xia shook her head helplessly: "I'm relatively proficient in demining. As for explosive disposal, I'm sorry, but I'm not very good at it."
"Actually, don't worry too much. Look, the countdown shows fifty hours and seventeen minutes. I think they want to use this bomb to push us to the finish line." Yao Chi thought for a moment and nodded solemnly.
.
Muzi sighed heavily: "In other words, we have to complete the four-day journey in the remaining fifty hours?! God, I'm afraid I will go crazy..."
"We have always been little lunatics, haven't we?" This sentence that was blurted out without thinking was so surprising in everyone's eyes...
"We have no choice."
Everyone looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds, and then they hugged each other. Feeling the only warmth in the cold night, I smiled: "It's great. We are all still alive!"
"Reporting to the leader, the mission has been successfully completed!" Deng Ye gave a standard military salute and looked at Mi Lan with a smile.
"How many did you bring back?" Mi Lan looked at Deng Ye who was standing opposite him with interest.
Deng Ye changed his expression a little awkwardly, and said embarrassedly: "One."
"Just one?!" Mi Lan raised her eyebrows in surprise: "You have wasted a few days of hard work, eating snake meat, and being tortured. Oh, you just brought back one?"
"Chief, you know the strength of your soldiers. It's not easy for me to bring back even one..."
"Tell me, who is this one?"
"It's Chu Qiao. She failed to pass the final test. Therefore, she was eliminated."
"Chu Qiao..." Mi Lan murmured to herself. Thinking of Chu Qiao's performance on previous missions, Mi Lan said lightly: "It's as expected."
"Then..." Deng Ye paused.
"Old rules, where they came from, they go back to where they came from."
"Chief, she just didn't complete the mission. Do she have to return to the reconnaissance company?" This year's selection of Red Eagle was extremely fierce and tragic. To be able to enter Red Eagle, it is definitely through layers of screening and hard work.
.Being sent back just like that was just like Xiaowei back then, so straightforward.
"Are bombs reliable?" Mi Lan did not directly answer Deng Ye's question, but asked other questions.
"It is a time bomb specially made by the demolition team. It only emits smoke, so it is absolutely reliable."
"That's good. Go down and rest."
"Yes!" Deng Ye could only leave.
"Wait!" Mi Lan quickly called to Deng Ye who had not yet gone out.
"Yes! Chief." Deng Ye had no choice but to come back.
"Oh, um... Tang Xiaomi... is she... okay?" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Mi Lan regretted it. After a month in that kind of barren mountains and mountains, she suffered all kinds of hardships, how could she get better?
