It was supposed to be a casual game, but the Long March dungeon brought tears to everyone's eye

Two sentences silenced both Kuang Ge and Ruan Ruan.

Hawkeye gave the two some time to process their thoughts before continuing.

"Moreover, the company commander not only found out, but also gave you a way out. Think carefully about what the company commander said before he left—"

"I won't send you more men or resupply you, because there won't be any more supplies later."

Madman frowned. "Isn't this just leaving us to fend for ourselves? What kind of backroom deal is this?"

"Are you really stupid or just pretending?" Hawkeye glanced at Madman. "This is the elite squad! The sharpest blade in the entire regiment!"

"Even if the main force is poor, even if there's only one bullet left, it will be reserved for the elite squad!"

"The lack of supplies and support is not because we're 'gone'."

Eagle Eye ran while adjusting his breathing, his expression complex as he looked at the old squad leader's back at the front.

"This is the company commander giving the veteran squad leader a reason for 'failure,' or rather, a time to rest."

"If the elite squad falls behind due to lack of supplies, manpower, or fails to keep up with the main force..."

"So, it's not that the old squad leader is 'no good' anymore, but rather that the objective conditions are insufficient."

"This is the platoon leader's way of saving face for the veteran sergeant, even though the veteran sergeant might not want this gesture..."

A muffled rumble of thunder suddenly rolled across the horizon, and her soft steps faltered abruptly.

She then understood even more what the company commander had said earlier.

She had previously thought that the company commander was cold-blooded and ruthless, and that he was trying to push the soldiers to their limits.

But now, after listening to Hawkeye's analysis, where is the company commander cold-blooded?

This is a tenderness that will break your heart...

The company commander noticed that the old sergeant's hand was ruined, but he didn't say anything. He didn't disarm the old sergeant in public, nor did he send him to the rear.

For someone like the old sergeant, dying on the battlefield is not scary; what is scary is becoming a cripple and only being able to watch helplessly as his comrades fight desperately.

So the company commander gave him this "impossible mission" and this "no supplies" excuse.

Once the veteran squad leader can no longer run, and once the elite squad slows down, the veteran squad leader can naturally retire, carrying with him the dignity that belongs to a veteran.

"Is this...is this their relationship?" Kuang Ge gritted his teeth, feeling even more bitter inside.

The chat in the live stream paused briefly for a moment, then erupted in a frenzy.

"I'm devastated! Is this what the reserved emotions of that era were like?"

"Company Commander: I know everything, but I won't say anything. I'll only leave you an escape route."

"But...but the old squad leader hasn't retired!!"

Yes.

He didn't back down.

Kuang Ge suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure in front of him who was still running stubbornly in the heavy rain.

Did the old squad leader understand?

He definitely understood.

He was a seasoned veteran, the best of the best in the team.

How could he not understand the company commander's look, his pat on the shoulder, and his meaningful words?

The company commander gave him a way out.

If he had slowed down a little, or had been a little "out of his depth," he could have avoided facing the even more brutal Luding Bridge ahead and saved his life.

But he didn't.

He was running as fast as he could.

Even though his right hand was burning with pain, even though there were no supplies, even though the weight had been "tricked" away by Kuang Ge and his friends.

He was still running in the lead.

Because he is the class monitor.

Because this team is called the Red Legion.

Because with that already weakened arm, he was silently answering the company commander, answering everyone—

As long as I'm alive, I'll still be that sharp knife!

"This old man..." Kuang Ge's voice choked up, and he sniffed hard.

"Damn it...it's stinky and hard!"

Suddenly, Kuang Ge roared and exerted force with his feet.

"Hawkeye! Softie! Run! Don't let the old sergeant look down on you!"

"If we fall behind, that would truly be a slap in the face to our old squad leader!"

"Rush!!"

The three men sped up through the mud, relentlessly chasing after the old squad leader's back.

Deep in the rain, the old sergeant seemed to hear the distorted roar behind him, but he didn't turn around.

But on that face, which was full of wrinkles and rain, the corner of his mouth twitched up very slightly.

But that smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a more resolute and cold hardness.

Because ahead, there's another mountain.

At the end of that mountain road, Shiyueping, the campsite the vanguard regiment intended to set up, was faintly visible in the rain and mist.

"Hurry up!" the old squad leader shouted without turning his head.

"If you want to live! If you want to win! Then you'd better outrun that river! Outrun those devils who want to strangle us!"

"yes!!!"

……

As night fell, the vanguard regiment fought and ran, pursuing the defeated enemy troops to Shiyueping.

On this day, they pushed forward nearly ninety miles through intense combat and muddy roads.

"arrive……"

The elite squad caught up with the main force, and the veteran squad leader stopped and gave the order.

"Rest where you are, find dry, sheltered ground, and camp!"

"yes!"

Meanwhile, the various pioneering teams arrived at Shiyueping one after another, and the popularity of the various live broadcast rooms increased rather than decreased.

Although the scenes mostly consisted of dark, rainy nights and soldiers covered in mud, the sense of oppression brought by the "forced march" still made countless viewers' palms sweat.

However, not everyone can empathize with this.

Some people think that a forced march of 90 miles a day is not a big deal.

After all, many pioneering teams were able to grit their teeth and persevere.

This dungeon has a physical bonus, making them think "I can do it too," and the so-called "flying plunder" is nothing special. Little haters and trolls have appeared one after another.

"A bunch of idiots."

In a private room of a high-end internet cafe in Tomato City.

Looking at the posts on the forum, President Xie coldly cursed.

He had just exited the "Crossing the Dadu River" instance to rest.

Having climbed snow-capped mountains and traversed grasslands, Mr. Xie knew that things were not that simple.

Most of the pioneering teams arrived at Shiyueping on the first day, but that doesn't mean they would reach Luding Bridge on the third day.

Ignore these trolls.

Beside him, a pro gamer with the ID "Yakumo Kage" took off his VR headset, gulped down a big mouthful of iced cola, and still had a murderous glint in his eyes.

"They don't know anything."

"Instead of that, how's the dealing with those 'rats' in the dungeon going?"

Upon hearing this, President Xie's face instantly darkened.

Three batches were processed.

"Damn it, what do these guys think 'Crossing the Dadu River' is? Playing it like GTA?"

Since Kuang Ge led the team to successfully cross the Dadu River for the first time and became a viral sensation online, more and more players have been trying out "Crossing the Dadu River".

But in a big forest, you'll find all sorts of birds.

Many people are not doing this to experience history or to feel its weight.

They're just here to join in the fun, or even to grab attention.

Just an hour ago, an extremely unpleasant scene unfolded during a match of "Crossing the Dadu River".

Several players with flashy IDs entered the dungeon but ignored commands and didn't repair any fortifications.

Instead, after they painstakingly awakened the gunner, they rushed into the village, kicked open the villagers' doors, and tried to steal the villager's laying hen.

He was still yelling, "I'm a player! I'm here to help you fight! What's wrong with eating chicken?"

"As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's the NPCs who are embarrassed!"

This action directly caused the gunner, who had been painstakingly awakened, to lose his mind, resulting in the complete annihilation of the thousand-man squad.

This incident has sparked outrage among gamers.

"We can't let these rotten apples spoil the whole bunch."

Yakumo Kage crushed the Coke can, threw it into the trash can, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"Has that 'nuisance blacklist' been completed?"

"It's finished." Another expert player, "Cao Qingyi," nodded.

"Currently, we have united more than 20 large guilds, as well as the management of Kuang Ge, Ying Yan, and Ruan Ruan's fan clubs."

"The roster is updated and synchronized across all servers!"
