That evening, the temperature gradually dropped, and the woods were completely silent.

Even the faint rustling of leaves in the breeze alerted the soldiers of the Seventh Company.

Not far ahead in the broad-leaved forest, more than a dozen figures with guns advanced in a battle formation, their steps light and agile, while vigilantly observing their surroundings as they moved forward.

Zhang Hui, who was in the distance, activated his night vision skill for one minute every thirty minutes. He lay prone on a high mound behind him, closely monitoring the situation at the ambush point he had set up ahead.

Just as he was activating his skill for what felt like the umpteenth time, he saw a combat squad of more than ten enemies advancing in a staggered formation.

Zhang Hui quickly looked at Shi Jin's position, then noticed Xu Sanduo to his left rear. He then strode to Shi Jin's right rear, waiting for the battle to begin.

Deep in the broadleaf forest, Gao Cheng and Hong Xingguo stood in front of the vehicle. Just as the dozen or so figures were about to enter the ambush point, Gao Cheng whispered to his partner beside him, "They're here, the fish have taken the bait!"

At this moment, Gao Cheng immediately ordered the chariots to turn on their lights. The lights suddenly illuminated the previously pitch-black forest.

The Seventh Company, which had been lying in wait for a long time, suddenly opened fire, with even Wu Liuyi raising his machine gun and beginning a powerful sweeping attack.

But the enemy's dozen or so men reacted incredibly quickly; upon hearing the gunfire, they turned and ran without a second thought. They were even able to perform various tactical maneuvers while running, dodging bullets from behind.

The situation on the battlefield reversed in an instant, with the Seventh Company becoming the ones pursuing the enemy, while the Blue Army began to retreat.

As Shi Jin focused on chasing forward, Zhang Hui's heart was in his throat. At this moment, he didn't care about wasting points anymore. He immediately turned on his night vision skill at all times and ran frantically towards Shi Jin.

As Zhang Hui heard another gunshot from the side, he lunged forward and tackled the unsuspecting Shi Jin to the side.

It was only then that everyone realized there was another Blue Team ambush to the right of the woods. Although Shi Jin wasn't hit immediately, Blue Team bullets kept sweeping in their direction.

"Xu Sanduo! Come here quickly!!" Zhang Hui shouted anxiously, then helped the fallen Shi Jin to his left and said to him, "It's me, squad leader, don't move him for now!"

Shi Jin was still a bit dazed after being tackled by his own men. He only realized what was happening when he heard the noise; Cheng Cai, who was blocking his right side, was trying to take a bullet for him.

As Xu Sanduo ran over from the side, he heard Cheng Cai, who was blocking his way, say, "Sanduo, stand to the right of the squad leader, half-crouch and guard him, blocking the squad leader's view!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanduo immediately put it into action. Just as Shi Jin was about to act on his own, Zhang Hui grabbed him and pulled him back into the woods on the left. Only after placing Shi Jin behind a larger tree did Zhang Hui release him.

Shi Jin, who was now safe, suddenly had tears in his eyes. He immediately shouted at Xu Sanduo, "Xu Sanduo, take cover!" Just as he finished speaking, he heard Gao Cheng's order to retreat.

Zhang Hui looked up and saw Gao Cheng waving his arms and holding binoculars. He immediately shouted, "Retreat! Stop chasing! Retreat! Retreat now!"

But it was too late. Many of the Seventh Company soldiers who were chasing too fast were shot by the ambushing Blue Army soldiers who were unable to dodge in time.

Seeing Wu Liuyi get shot in the back, Zhang Hui was furious. He immediately took advantage of the moment his night vision was still active and raised his gun to fire at the Blue Team. Even though he couldn't see the specifics, his intuition told him that they had just taken out another member of the A team.

However, this did not affect the course of the battle. The fierce fighting did not last long, and the gunfire gradually subsided.

Zhang Hui and Xu Sanduo followed Shi Jin safely back to their position. The Seventh Company had lost most of its main force, and the remaining soldiers finally retreated to their own positions.

Seeing that further attacks would not yield any advantage, the Blue team ceased their pursuit.

After retreating to his position, Zhang Hui turned off the night vision skill. Looking at the remaining 3 points, he was so heartbroken that he almost cried.

Fortunately, we also heard the system reward notification at that moment.

[The plot has changed due to the host's actions; 30 unallocated points will be awarded as a reward!]

Upon hearing the announcement of his reward and overjoyed at his altered storyline, Zhang Hui excitedly hugged Shi Jin, causing Shi Jin to swallow his criticism. Fortunately, Zhang Hui quickly realized he wouldn't do it again, and in the end, he only received a verbal reprimand.

After the training session, Zhang Hui resumed his vigilance. Until they received a ceasefire order from headquarters, none of the members of the Seventh Company dared to relax for a moment.

Fortunately, the ceasefire order finally arrived at 10 p.m. Only when they received the order could the surviving soldiers finally relax.

Zhang Hui specifically sought out Xu Sanduo and continued to brainwash him. Although Shi Jin's death in the plot had been changed, as long as the exercise was not over, Zhang Hui would keep Xu Sanduo's mind on edge for a whole day.

This meant that during the next eight hours of the ceasefire, Xu Sanduo stayed close to his squad leader, except when he needed to take care of his personal needs. After several unsuccessful attempts to shoo him away, Shi Jin had no choice but to accept the situation.

This finally relieved Zhang Hui, who had been giving bad advice from afar; it was truly infuriating!

......

The night in the wilderness passed quickly.

As the sun rose above the eastern mountains and then set in the west, it was already afternoon, but the battlefield was still covered in lush green vegetation.

Zhang Hui had been crouching in the dense bushes for three hours, motionless, trying to spot the faintly visible target.

He felt fine about these things, as his physique was far superior to that of his comrades. Just like his usual training sessions where he would lie prone for half a day or more, this amount of time did not make his limbs stiff.

The only thing that troubled him was the diverse array of insects in nature, which made the people of the Seventh Company admire Zhang Hui's perseverance.

The group of fallen comrades not far away had been discussing it for quite a while, just when everyone thought he was about to give up.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Hui quickly pulled the trigger, then dove to the right, taking cover behind a small tree. At the same time, several bullets fired from the spot where he had just been, and Shi Jin, to his right front, immediately returned fire.

Zhang Hui peeked out from behind the tree and saw through the scope that white smoke was rising again from the spot where he had just fired.

It seems he's having a lucky day.

"Report, one enemy soldier killed at 11 o'clock. But the enemy was prepared and retaliated precisely this time." After reporting to Takagi, he waited for Takagi's orders.

"Alright! Continue the ambush and wait for an opportunity." After Gao Cheng finished speaking, Zhang Hui replied, "Yes!" and withdrew.

This was the third time such a conversation had occurred today. He had also gotten three kills from the other side this morning, but unlike this morning, this time he received a reward from the system.

[The plot has changed due to the host's actions; 5 unallocated points will be awarded as a reward!]

It seems that the number of enemies he killed has exceeded the number of enemies Cheng Cai killed in the drama.

Zhang Hui showed no unusual behavior. He quickly replenished his food and water before heading to a new sniping position to continue his ambush.
