But the weather along the Dadu River is like a child's face—it changes in an instant.

The scorching sun, which had been baking people until their skin peeled off, was suddenly swallowed up by a strange wind rising from the deep mountain valley.

It's getting foggy.

And it was a very thick fog.

The white mist, like a solid wall, crashed down from the turbulent river onto the mountainside, cutting off the long, rapidly advancing Red Army column.

Visibility plummeted.

Five steps away, it's impossible to tell if someone is human or a ghost.

"Hold on tight! Don't fall behind!"

A low growl came from the front, the voice muffled as if it were being covered by a quilt.

Crazy felt a weight on his shoulder as Hawkeye grabbed his belt from behind.

He instinctively reached out and grabbed the hem of the old squad leader's clothes.

The team's speed visibly slowed down.

The road was already suspended halfway up the mountain, with a rock wall as hard as iron on the left and a sheer drop of tens of meters on the right.

The Dadu River roared below, its sound even more terrifying in the fog, as if countless hands were waiting below to catch people.

"Don't stop."

The old squad leader's voice came from the front.

It's very light, but very stable.

He could only move his left hand, so he couldn't grab the shoulder of the person in front of him for leverage like others.

But the old squad leader was like a spirited old mountain vine.

The straw sandals under my feet seemed to have eyes, and every step they took was firmly planted in the gaps between the gravel.

"Follow in my footsteps."

The old squad leader didn't even turn around. He gripped the shoulder strap with his left thumb, leaned forward slightly, as if he were sniffing the road.

Ruan Ruan was sandwiched between Kuang Ge and Ying Yan, her little face pale.

This time, she really didn't dare to breathe.

The road underfoot was as slippery as a glib tongue, and the layer of moisture instantly turned the dry, hard soil into mushy mud.

The live stream screen was also completely white.

There were only occasional glimpses of dark shadows and the heavy, panting sound of breathing.

"How can we run? This is terrifying!"

"I just tried walking with my eyes closed, and I bumped into a wall after two steps. They're on the edge of a cliff!"

"Can that old bastard Luo's physics engine not be so realistic? It's giving me the creeps!"

Viewers were cursing and swearing in the live chat.

But in the game, nobody has time to complain.

The line moved in silence.

This oppressive silence lasted for about half an hour.

until--

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, exploding in the thick fog ahead.

What followed was a chaotic mess.

"Bang bang bang!!"

The gunfire was chaotic and disorderly.

Judging from the sound, the distance is less than 300 meters.

The line came to an instant.

Everyone instinctively pressed themselves against the left side of the mountain wall, their thumbs disengaging the safety on their guns.

"Don't panic."

The old squad leader pressed himself against the stone wall and slowly squatted down.

He twitched his ears and frowned.

"Judging from the noise, they're not coming for us."

Crazy Brother was taken aback. "Not charging at us? Then who's that up ahead?"

"They're those cowards who treated us like ghosts."

The old squad leader smirked and pointed with his chin at the billowing white mist ahead.

"Ahead lies Tiger Hill."

"With such thick fog, the enemy guarding the pass is terrified and is firing their guns into the air to bolster their courage."

Kuang Ge peeked out.

really.

Deep within the thick fog, clusters of orange-red flames could be faintly seen flickering.

Those were the sparks from the muzzle of a gun.

Along with the gunshots came faint shouts and cries.

That's not the kind of activity an army should make.

They looked more like a group of gamblers who had stumbled upon a maze of ghosts while walking at night.

"The company commander has given orders!"

A communications soldier crept in quietly and relayed the instructions in a low voice.

"Sharp Knife Squad, charge!"

"Don't fire! Get your bayonets out!"

"Reach out and pull this nail out!"

The old squad leader nodded.

He glanced at Crazy Bro, Eagle Eye, and Softie behind him.

There was no tenderness in his eyes as usual, only a cold, ruthless glint in them.

"This time, don't be a coward."

As the old squad leader spoke, he drew the large sword from his back with his left hand.

That was a broad-backed, thin-bladed demon-head sword.

"Stay close."

"Kill anyone you see within five steps."

"Don't make a sound."

……

Tiger Hill Pass.

The enemy battalion commander was hiding behind a sandbag fortification, clutching a gun in his hand, his palms sweaty.

"Open your eyes wide, you bastards!"

"Even if it's just a mouse that goes by, I'll riddle it with bullets!"

He roared hysterically.

This weather is so weird.

Intelligence indicated that the "Red Devils" of the Crimson Legion were heading in his direction.

Who are those people?

That's a monster that can run ninety miles in a day and a night in a torrential rain!

With such a thick fog now, who knows if those peasants might suddenly jump out of the fog and bite his throat?

"Commander...we can't see..." a trembling adjutant said.

"If you can't see it, then shoot!" The battalion commander kicked his adjutant in the buttocks.

"Get the brothers out there and fire! Make a scene!"

"Let them know there are people here! I don't believe they'd dare to run into a machine gun with their own bodies!"

"Da da da da!"

The heavy machine guns began to fire blindly at the empty mountain road.

The flames licked at the thick fog, but only managed to knock down a few tree branches; they didn't hit anything else.

Noise.

confusion.

fear.

The entire enemy position was like a pot of boiled porridge.

No one noticed that in a blind spot less than 30 meters in front of the position.

A group of shadows covered in mud were crawling along the ground, like a group of silent, venomous lizards, inching forward.

That was true silence.

There was no breathing sound.

There were no footsteps.

Even the sound of equipment colliding was muffled by the mud.

Crazy Bro lay prone in the grass, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

too close.

He was so close that he could vaguely see the machine gunner in front of him.

It was so close you could smell the nauseating stench of opium.

At this distance, there's no need to aim; just pounce and start killing!

The old squad leader was less than two meters in front of Crazy Brother.

One arm.

Lying prone in the mud.

His severed arm, which was fixed to his chest, prevented him from crawling forward like a normal person.

He could only inch forward, using only his knees and his left hand to crawl forward on the ground covered with sharp pebbles.

Hawkeye watched from behind, his eyes red-rimmed.

He could see clearly that a dark red bloodstain had been left beneath the old squad leader.

His knees were worn raw, but the old squad leader didn't utter a sound.

He was like a stone that felt no pain.

Twenty meters.

ten meters.

five meters.

It's already on my face.

The enemy machine gunner was even changing his ammunition belt, cursing under his breath.

"This awful weather, so unlucky..."

A piercing whistle suddenly broke through the thick fog.

"Beep—!!!"

The sound was so sharp and abrupt that it instantly pierced the minds of all the enemy soldiers.

That moment of stiffness is the dividing line between life and death.

"kill!!!"

Sigh, it's not easy to get extra chapters. At Luo Luo's rate of extra chapters, she's about a month behind. Next month is Chinese New Year, and Luo Luo needs to stockpile chapters in advance, so the time to finish clearing the current backlog will be extended. Please, please, please don't bother sending her the "Great Author" certification or urging her to update more. She just can't finish writing anymore, sob sob...

Besides the expert certification, there are so many small gifts I haven't thanked yet. I'm so happy! o(╥﹏╥)o
