After being separated from my family, I became a darling of the military region thanks to my medical

The Blue Team's command post was essentially a dilapidated sheep pen that let in drafts from all sides.

Although the conditions were rudimentary, the location was superb. It was a reverse slope, out of radar range, and reconnaissance soldiers would never discover the large fish lurking beneath unless they got very close.

Blue Army Commander Li Yunlong was sitting cross-legged on the only cot, holding a chipped enamel mug filled with strong, dark jasmine tea.

Across from him, the chief of staff was looking at the map with a worried expression.

"Stop looking. This godforsaken place. Even if those Red Army bastards had dog noses, they wouldn't be able to find me."

Li Yunlong sipped his hot tea, looking completely at ease, with a hint of smugness in his voice: "Gu Zheng is a good guy, a genius at leading troops, but trying to behead someone in front of me? He's still too green! He's probably still wandering around in the woods thirty kilometers away right now."

The chief of staff reluctantly put down his red and blue pencils: "Commander, Gu Zheng is not only ruthless, but also cunning. We've been on radio silence for three hours, and why does my right eyelid keep twitching?"

"Shut up! You just didn't sleep well!" Li Yunlong slammed his teacup down, snorted coldly, "If he can even touch this place, I'll eat this table..."

"boom!"

Before the words were finished, a thunderous explosion resounded on the hillside above the sheepfold.

The massive blast wave instantly ripped off the makeshift wooden roof, and dust and gravel rained down like hail.

The military table in front of Li Yunlong instantly disintegrated, splashing water from the teacup all over his face and body, with tea leaves clinging to his eyebrows, leaving him in a disheveled state.

If that rocket had landed a few meters lower, the entire command post would be a pile of minced meat by now.

The deathly silence lasted for two seconds.

Immediately afterward, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh, jumped up, and yelled, "Gu Zheng! You son of a bitch! You're playing this high-risk game during the exercise? What kind of TNT was that? You were trying to bury me alive! That's foul play! I'm going to report him to the military region!"

In the eyes of this veteran general, this must have been because the Red Army used excessive amounts of explosives in pursuit of a more effective performance.

"Guard company! Are they all dead? Charge out and tie up those Red Army bastards!" Li Yunlong was furious, his face red and his neck thick.

"Commander! Don't go out!"

A mournful roar came from the doorway.

The guard company commander rushed in, his face covered in ashes. The six-foot-tall man's legs were trembling, and he was clutching a piece of charred shrapnel tightly in his hand.

"Commander...that's live ammunition!"

The guard company commander's voice was hoarse: "That was an RPG! A high-explosive fragmentation round! I saw it clearly, the warhead had a yellow and black ring! If it hadn't gone too high, we'd all be finished!"

"What did you say?"

Li Yunlong's angry expression froze instantly, and his cloudy old eyes suddenly turned sharp as knives. "Live ammunition?"

"It really was live ammunition!" The guard company commander gasped for breath. "Our men saw someone holding this thing, and before they could react, they heard a bang, like someone on top hit the rocket launcher with a rock, which deflected the shell. Otherwise, it would have been a direct hit on our heads!"

Li Yunlong felt a chill run down his spine and straight to the top of his head.

This is not a drill.

A wolf has really sneaked in!

"Where did this person come from? Who smashed it?" Li Yunlong shoved the chief of staff aside, grabbed the only remaining high-powered binoculars on the table, and rushed to the base of the half-collapsed wall without caring about the danger outside.

In the footage, the distant rocky hills look as if they've been plowed.

Two figures dressed in camouflage were firing wildly at something behind a huge rock. The muzzle flashes were clearly visible in the twilight.

Under the suppressive fire of those two submachine guns, a small, thin figure suddenly darted out from behind the rocks.

Dressed in Red Army uniform, he moved with the agility of a monkey. Instead of running to safety, he deliberately poked his head out from behind a large rock, picked up a stone, and hurled it at the two mercenaries before turning and running in the opposite direction.

He's luring those two guys away from command post!

"Whose soldiers are those? Huh?" Li Yunlong's hands trembled, and his eyes instantly reddened.

He could see clearly that the child was holding an 81-bar pistol and carrying a training backpack on his back.

Faced with well-equipped mercenaries armed with heavy firepower, the child didn't even have a chance to fire back; he could only run away on foot to draw the enemy away.

"That was to shield me from bullets..." Li Yunlong gritted his teeth, his voice sounding like a metallic groan squeezed from the depths of his throat.

Li Yunlong turned around abruptly, his usually jovial face now contorted into a ferocious expression, like that of an enraged lion.

"Guard company! Fully loaded! Whether they're human or monster, shred them!"

"Snipers, get ready! We have to get that kid to safety!"

……

"Huff... huff..."

My lungs felt like they were on fire, and every breath I took smelled of blood.

The stones were running wildly through the pile of rocks.

He dared not run in a straight line; that would be suicide.

The "snake-like movement" he honed in the garbage dump and alleyways saved his life. At that moment, he didn't seem like a human being, but more like a frightened wild beast, using every rock and every dent as cover.

Behind me, the "rat-a-tat-tat" of gunfire was like a persistent, stabbing wound.

The bullet struck a nearby rock, and the flying shards of rock cut his cheek, causing a burning pain.

Those two mercenaries are experts.

They flanked him from the left and right, using precise bursts of fire to block Shi Tou's escape route, forcing him into a dead end.

Stone knew he couldn't escape.

There was a cliff ahead, and the road ended there.

"Brother Gu Zheng said that if you encounter a wolf, you can't expose your back to it." This sentence flashed through Shi Tou's mind.

He abruptly stopped, turned around, raised the useless rifle, and prepared to make a final, desperate attempt.

Even if it means smashing, we'll knock out one of those bastards' teeth!

However, the professional assassin gave him no chance.

Almost at the same second that he paused, the tall, muscular mercenary who had been silent pulled the trigger.

"puff!"

A dull thud as flesh was struck.

Stone felt as if someone had stabbed him hard in the stomach with a red-hot iron rod.

He didn't feel pain immediately, but instead felt a sudden lightness in his body. The immense impact sent him flying backward, crashing heavily onto the cold snow.

blood.

Crimson blood instantly soaked through the faded old military uniform, exploding into a tragic flower on the pristine snow.

Stone clutched his stomach, his body curled up like a shrimp.

It hurts.

It hurt even more than when a stray dog ​​bit off my leg under a bridge that winter.

My vision began to blur, and the two figures in camouflage were slowly approaching, the muzzles of their guns dark and gaping like two bottomless pits.

Stone tried to keep his eyes wide open, not wanting to close them.

He didn't embarrass the Gu family, did he?

Could this be considered... a meritorious deed?

That fierce Gu Zheng, surely he'll admit he's family this time?

And Sister Ye Zhen...

I'm afraid I'll never be able to eat her cooking again...

Just then.

"Bang!"

A deafening gunshot seemed to tear the entire sky apart.

The mercenary who was about to finish off his companion had his head explode like a watermelon, spraying red and white matter all over his face.

That's the sound of a large-caliber sniper rifle!
