A three-year-old child dragged his sister's coffin and cried out for justice in the military re

The wind and snow intensified, like countless tiny ice knives, relentlessly cutting into everyone's skin.

Qin Xiao carried Sui Sui on his back, the exoskeleton armor making heavy, muffled thuds as it stepped into the knee-deep snow.

He could feel Sui Sui's body temperature dropping, and the icy feeling was like a knife to his heart.

"Faster! Faster!" Qin Xiao roared in a low voice, as if giving an order to himself.

The roar of helicopters grew closer overhead, and blinding beams of light streaked through the forest.

"Da da da da da—!!!"

Without warning, the sound of heavy machine gun fire shattered the silence of the snow-capped mountain.

Bullets struck the thick pine trees, sending wood chips flying, and snow cascaded down like a waterfall.

"Take cover!" Shadow shouted, disappearing instantly into the shadows of the snow.

Chu Kuang pulled Gu Bei along, and the two of them rolled into a natural crevice in the rocks.

With Sui Sui on his back, Qin Xiao lunged at the back of a huge red pine tree. Bullets grazed his helmet, sending sparks flying.

"Damn it, these beasts actually dared to open fire!" Chu Kuang leaned against a rock, cursing angrily.

He pulled a black cylinder from the huge metal box behind him.

That was his "private goods" that he secretly brought out—a modified portable anti-aircraft missile.

"Big Daddy! Cover me! I'll swat that fly down!" Chu Kuang shouted as he assembled his equipment.

Qin Xiao glanced at Sui Sui, who had been jolted awake in his arms. The little girl's face was deathly pale, but her eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Sui Sui, hold on tight to Daddy," Qin Xiao whispered.

He suddenly leaned forward and fired three shots into the sky with his tactical pistol.

This wasn't to harm the enemy, but to attract the helicopter's attention.

Sure enough, the helicopter's searchlight instantly locked onto Qin Xiao's position, and machine gun fire rained down relentlessly.

"Now!" Qin Xiao roared.

Chu Kuang suddenly stood up from the crevice in the rock, knelt on one knee, and carried the black cylinder on his shoulder.

"Locked successfully!"

"Get out of here!"

"Whoosh—!!!"

A crimson flame shot into the sky, piercing the dark snowy night.

The missile, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, traced a strange arc in the air and precisely penetrated the engine compartment of one of the helicopters.

"BOOM—!!!"

A massive fireball exploded in mid-air, instantly turning the helicopter into a pile of scrap metal, which plummeted into the deep valley amidst billowing smoke.

The explosion illuminated half the hilltop and also the dark figures emerging from the depths of the forest.

Those were mercenaries hired by the Eternal Life Society, numbering in the dozens, fully armed and wearing infrared night vision goggles.

"Holy Maiden!" Agu led dozens of mountain guards out from the flank.

They held the most primitive bone bows and hunting knives in their hands, but their eyes burned with a fearless rage.

"Protect the saintess! Slay all these demons!"

At Agu's command, a dense barrage of arrows rained down on the mercenaries.

These arrows are coated with a deadly poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood; if the skin is even slightly bruised, even a miracle cannot save you.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Several mercenaries who rushed to the front fell with screams, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.

Qin Xiao watched as Agu and his people fought desperately in front of him, and his eyes welled up with tears.

But he knew that now was not the time for sentimentality; Sui Sui's medicine hadn't taken effect yet, and she wouldn't last much longer.

"Third brother, fourth brother! You take Sui Sui and Gu Bei and go! I'll cover the rear!" Qin Xiao said through gritted teeth.

"Bullshit! We'll all go together!" Chu Kuang roared as he fired his submachine gun.

"This is an order!" Qin Xiao's eyes widened, and the authority he exuded from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood sent a chill down Chu Kuang's spine.

"Sui Sui needs the injection immediately! The magnetic field here is chaotic, helicopters can't get in. You guys run north to Eagle's Beak Rock, there's a rendezvous point arranged by Shen Wansan there!"

Shadow glanced at Qin Xiao, said nothing, and took Sui Sui from Qin Xiao's back.

"Old Qin, survive."

Shadow carried Sui Sui on his back and pulled Gu Bei along, like a black lightning bolt, rushing into the depths of the forest.

Chu Kuang angrily slammed his fist on the snow and then rushed out after him.

Qin Xiao stood in the middle of the snow, looking in the direction where his daughter had disappeared, a sinister smile appearing on his lips.

He turned around to face the endless stream of mercenaries.

The military knife in his hand gleamed with a bloodthirsty cold light in the firelight.

"Come on, you scum."

"Let me show you what Chinese special forces really are."

Qin Xiao activated the overload mode of his exoskeleton, transforming himself into a raging giant bear as he charged into the enemy ranks.

Every swing of the knife sent a spray of blood into the air; every punch was accompanied by the sound of bones shattering.

He was like a tireless killing machine, firmly fixed in the middle of the path.

The number of enemies increased, bullets flew around him, and his protective suit was stained dark red.

But he did not back down.

Because behind him is his daughter, his life.

"boom!"

The last mercenary was blasted off the cliff by Qin Xiao's powerful punch.

Qin Xiao leaned on his military knife, panting heavily. Blood dripped from his fingertips onto the snow, a shocking sight.

His left leg exoskeleton was completely destroyed, the mechanical joint was stuck in his flesh, and he was trembling with pain.

He looked up.

On the other side of the cliff, countless red dots lit up again.

The second wave of reinforcements from the Eternal Life Society has arrived.

Qin Xiao glanced at Eagle Beak Rock in the distance, where the faint roar of helicopters could be heard.

Sui Sui should be safe now.

He gave a bitter laugh and supported himself as he stood on the edge of the cliff.

The wind and snow tousled his hair, and his silhouette appeared lonely and majestic in the moonlight.
