Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Thinking of this, Cheng Cai shook his head, glanced at the still-smoking cigarette stick that belonged to him in the distance, and shook all his thoughts out of his mind. "Yes, yes, no, we'll talk about it another time."

Then, he followed Wu Liuyi and the others with firm steps.

The group of four walked a long way and encountered three members of Group B.

Both groups were at their last gasp, so they decided to join forces and advance together.

After all, more people mean more strength, and such a combination would be safer for them.

At 4:30 p.m., when everyone finished their rest and were preparing to leave, Xiao Wenwu spoke up, "We've come this far, that's enough, I'm satisfied, you guys should go now."

"Okay, sure," Wu Liuyi nodded heavily.

Cheng Cai nodded without saying anything.

Xu Sanduo reached into his pocket again.

Xiao Wenwu forced a smile. "Stop, Xu Sanduo. Don't try to persuade me. First of all, your individual rations are not enough for me at all, and now they are poison to me."

"Alright, that's settled. You guys should hurry up and leave, don't waste time. It's up to you."

Seeing that Xu Sanduo was about to take something out, Wu Liuyi said in a stern voice, "Listen to me, Xu Sanduo, this is an order."

"This, this," Xu Sanduo said reluctantly, "Yes, I obey orders."

"Take care, brother," Wu Liuyi patted Xiao Wenwu on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Cheng Cai nodded without saying anything.

A second-term sergeant from Regiment B patted Xiao Wenwu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you did the right thing. Take care."

Seeing Xu Sanduo still hesitant, Xiao Wenwu grinned. "Hurry up and go. Give your brother some face. You can't expect me to commit suicide in front of you, can you?"

"Okay, alright," Xu Sanduo looked at Xiao Wenwu seriously, then turned and left.

Watching the departing figures of the crowd, Xiao Wenwu collapsed to the ground and pulled out the cigarette holder from the side of his backpack, a symbol of his surrender.

He knew that as soon as he pulled the safety pin and the yellow smoke billowed out, someone would come to pick him up in less than three minutes, and he could return to the warm camp.

He could eat rat meat, but the amount he ate was far from enough to replenish his energy. He couldn't eat too much, and if he forced himself to eat, he might vomit up everything he had already eaten.

To put it bluntly, it's still not good enough; it's not powerful enough, not ruthless enough.

After resting for another five minutes, Xiao Wenwu looked at the smoke stick and thought, "Why don't I just light it? We've come this far, it's not bad."

Just as he was about to make a move, he heard the sound of a car engine. He suppressed his discomfort and slowly poked his head out, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Sure enough, a convertible jeep sped up from the dirt road not far from him.

"Since that's the case, let's take a couple of people down with us," Xiao Wenwu muttered, slowly extending his gun to aim at the man in the driver's seat of the jeep.

Because the person in the passenger seat was wearing the hunting uniform of the Division Reconnaissance Battalion, while the person in the driver's seat was wearing the uniform of the Old A.

Comparing the two, he felt it was more worthwhile to take out one of the old A's first, which would also be a way to avenge the past.

There was one thing he was curious about: he had seen many cars along the way, but he had never seen any mixed-up jeeps.

They were either all from the Old A unit or all from the division's reconnaissance battalion; only occasionally would there be mixed groups on the troop transport trucks used for looting corpses.

Although he hadn't figured it out, he wasn't going to think about it anymore.

He raised his gun, calculated the jeep's speed, and was about to fire when the jeep suddenly changed its speed.

A very familiar voice came from over, "Come out, I've found you."

Xiao Wenwu was stunned. Was this some kind of absurdity? He had only aimed the gun at the target briefly, and he had already been discovered. Was he trying to trick him?

But when he saw the car suddenly turn and head straight for the earthen slope where he was hiding, he realized that it wasn't a trick; he had really been discovered.

Xiao Wenwu struggled to steady himself on the earthen slope, stood up, and was about to fire.

"Oh, what a brave soul! You can't even stand up straight, yet you're still thinking of fighting back." It was clearly a compliment, but there was a hint of mockery in it, which made Xiao Wenwu feel even more familiar with it.

Crunch!

As the vehicle came to a steady stop in front of the slope, the voice rang out again, "Hey sergeant, you can't even stand properly, what are you trying to prove?"

"Deputy, deputy company commander," Xiao Wenwu's voice was full of joy. No wonder it sounded so familiar; the one from the reconnaissance battalion with them must be the company commander.

Xiao Wenwu looked up at the passenger seat, and sure enough, he had guessed correctly.

It was with this glance that Zhang Anbang got a clear look at the sergeant's face. His face was dry and withered, with a pale and grayish color. His eye sockets were sunken and dark, and his lips were dry, cracked, and purple, giving off a sense of emaciated frailty.

"Xiao Wenwu, it's you, kid," Zhang Anbang said, taking a step forward and grabbing the sergeant who was about to fall.

"Xiao Wenwu," Gao Cheng, who was in the passenger seat, also got out of the car and walked over quickly.

"You little brat, what happened to you?" Gao Cheng's words were filled with complex emotions. He didn't want his promising soldiers to be taken away, but seeing them eliminated made him feel a little sorry for them.

He knew that this was actually a great opportunity for these non-commissioned officers, especially those who hadn't secured a spot for promotion to officer at a military academy.

Especially since this person was his former squad leader of the fifth squad, whose personal ability and overall skills were definitely among the top twenty in the Steel Seventh Company, but now he was in such a sorry state.

Zhang Anbang glanced at the dark brown stains on Xiao Wenwu's camouflage uniform, which were clearly traces of blood. "How is it, Wenwu? Field mouse meat doesn't taste good, does it?"

"Uh," Xiao Wenwu, whose entire weight was resting on Zhang Anbang's hand, immediately stopped him, "No, Deputy Company Commander, please, please don't mention it."

"Field mouse?" Gao Cheng looked at Xiao Wenwu with a puzzled expression, but quickly noticed the bloodstain on his chest. He then nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, you've made great progress this time."

You should know that the Steel Seventh Company had done this kind of wilderness survival project before. Back then, there was no one chasing after them. It was just a day and a night. Most people would just eat some wild vegetables or catch a wild rabbit and roast it.

Eating field mice raw is a huge step forward. With this kind of ruthlessness, further progress is definitely not a problem.

"Here, have some," Zhang Anbang reached into his pocket, took out a few White Rabbit milk candies, and handed them to Xiao Wenwu.

"Hehe, thank you, thank you, Deputy Company Commander," Xiao Wenwu's eyes narrowed, and he trembled as he unwrapped the candy and stuffed three pieces of milk candy directly into his mouth, putting the candy wrappers into his pocket.
