SFS Chapter 221 Encounter
Chapter 221 Encounter
They didn't dare to sleep too long, after all, they still had a mission to complete. The four of them got up around eight o'clock, washed up by the river, caught two fish and grilled them for dinner, and set off at nine o'clock.
After resting for a few hours, I recovered a lot of strength. Although I was still tired, fortunately, everyone’s training intensity has been high recently, so this fatigue is still bearable. When we got on the road after eating, everyone still looked energetic.
"We may have a battle with other teams today. Everyone, stay alert and be vigilant. We must ensure our own safety so as not to hinder the Red Team. Do you understand?"
After Liu Shangwu finished speaking, several people responded in unison, "Understood!"
"set off!"
When they set out on their journey again, their moods were different from yesterday. They had more trust in Liu Shangwu. He really was an excellent veteran special forces soldier. His sharpness was beyond the reach of ordinary people. If it weren't for his alertness, they would not have discovered that group of people in advance yesterday, but had encountered them head-on. I'm afraid who knows what the situation would be now.
"Sergeant Liu, have you ever participated in actual combat?" Ruan Haoyu chatted with Liu Shangwu as they walked.
Liu Shangwu is usually a very easygoing person, which is completely different from his decisive killing on the battlefield. Hearing Ruan Haoyu's question, he smiled and said, "Of course I have participated in it. Four years ago, I had only been a special forces soldier for a year. I encountered a hijacking case. The criminals hijacked a five-year-old girl. At that time, I was sent to rappel from the top floor to break through and rescue her. It was a 38-story building. I had to rappel from the top floor to the 15th floor, kick through the glass to save her, and I had to be fast. Once the criminals reacted, they would kill the hostages immediately."
Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao were involuntarily attracted by his story, and they didn't think the road in the woods was difficult to walk. Mu Xiaoqiao followed his footsteps and asked, "What happened next? Was the little girl rescued?"
Descending thirty-eight stories, Mu Xiaoqiao felt dizzy just thinking about the scene. This was much higher than the ten-meter height from the helicopter last time.
"I was scared at the time, but I knew I couldn't retreat. People's lives and safety were waiting for me to protect. I had been training for so long, wasn't it just for this moment? So I could only overcome my fear and jumped down with gritted teeth. Fortunately, the usual training was not just for show. It was still very useful at the critical moment. At the time, I was listening to the command and roughly knew the position of the gangster. I didn't have time to hesitate. After kicking the glass to the ground, I took advantage of the moment when the gangster looked over and was distracted and fired. That was the first time I really killed someone. I watched the bullet in my gun penetrate the other person's eyebrows. I didn't dare to blink until the gangster fell to the ground. I felt my hands shaking a little."
Liu Shangwu laughed, "Now when I think about it, I still feel like a coward. Fortunately, I was smart and quickly helped the little girl up, so that no one could see my shaking hands."
Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao were almost mesmerized by what they heard. Although Liu Shangwu spoke of it calmly now, the situation must have been extremely urgent and complicated. It was precisely because of this group of people who risked their lives and faced challenges head-on that the safety of more people's lives and property was ensured.
Listening to the story, we had walked a long way without realizing it. When we reached the foot of the mountain and were about to walk up the mountain road, Liu Shangwu suddenly made a "hush" sound, stopping the team from moving forward and said, "There are people ahead."
Several people immediately went on alert and hid behind the trees. After a while, they saw a group of people coming. Mu Xiaoqiao admired Liu Shangwu's vigilance even more, as he was always able to detect the opponent in advance.
The people who came over were from the blue team. Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao saw familiar faces, Wen Yuquan and Gao Qi.
When two people meet on a narrow road, they cannot hold back just because they are familiar with each other. At this moment, they are opponents. If they are soft-hearted, they may be the ones who lose their lives.
Liu Shangwu waved his hand, and several people picked up their guns and aimed at each person's target according to the plan they had agreed upon earlier.
There were also veteran special forces soldiers in the opposing team, who were equally vigilant, but clearly not as alert as Liu Shangwu. However, when they entered the Red Team's firing range, he immediately sensed the danger and shouted, "Hide quickly."
But it was too late. Wen Yuquan and Gao Qi were not real special forces after all. Their bodies and brains could not keep up with the reaction. They were shot one by one by Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao, and blue smoke came out of their bodies at the same time.
The other two veteran special forces relied on their rich experience and dodged the bullets at the critical moment. At the same time, they took out their weapons and prepared to resist. However, they were a step too slow. Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu were extremely agile. As soon as the first shot missed, they immediately followed with a second shot. The continuous shooting made it impossible for them to dodge, and they ultimately could not escape the fate of being eliminated.
Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao came out from behind the tree. When Wen Yuquan saw Ruan Haoyu, he immediately said indignantly: "Senior Ruan, you are too ruthless. After all, we came here together."
Gao Qi was also unhappy. She had been liking Mu Xiaoqiao recently, but now she was back to square one and was no longer happy with Mu Xiaoqiao.
But Mu Xiaoqiao didn't care what she thought. She walked over with a smile to get her equipment. Gao Qi snorted coldly, threw the backpack to her, and sat beside her sulking.
Mu Xiaoqiao took the equipment, patted Gao Qi on the shoulder and said, "Thank you."
Gao Qi adhered to the attitude that a dead person would never speak, snorted again, and turned his head away.
Ruan Haoyu also went to get Wen Yuquan's equipment and smiled at him, "I'm just worried that you're too tired, so I want you to go back and rest early. Think about it, if you're eliminated now, you can rest for a day and a half. If you win the game tomorrow, you can only rest for a day. Which one is more cost-effective?"
It seemed to make some sense. Wen Yuquan was fooled and happily handed the equipment to Ruan Haoyu, waiting to go back and rest.
After packing up the seized equipment, the four set out again and began to climb the mountain. Climbing the mountain is much more tiring than walking on a flat road. After a while, several of them were out of breath and had to find a place to rest and replenish their strength.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Liu Shangwu looked at the map and said, "Everyone, please work hard today and climb up this mountain. We will stay on the top of the mountain to watch the stars at night. We can watch the sunrise tomorrow morning before going down the mountain. Basically, we will reach our destination around noon."
He was quite romantic. He even arranged for stargazing and sunrise watching during such an intense exercise. But after hearing what he said, Mu Xiaoqiao felt a little bit excited about the next trip and she didn't feel so tired anymore.
After a short rest, the group was on the road again. As they were walking, they suddenly heard a gunshot. Liu Shangwu immediately stopped the group, listened attentively, and said, "There's an exchange of fire ahead. Let's go and take a look. Remember to hide and protect yourself first."
A few people tiptoed into the woods in the mountains and walked towards the direction of the gunshots. After a while, they saw two teams exchanging fire. Mu Xiaoqiao didn't recognize anyone on the blue team, but he knew those on the red team, including Su Xinhao and Murong Xue.
But at this moment, Murong Xue has been eliminated, and the remaining three are still fighting. The other four have not suffered any casualties so far, but the Red Team is missing one person and is obviously struggling.
The two teams were already engaging in close combat, fighting with their fists, and no shots were fired. There was no way to shoot in this situation as it was very easy to hurt their own people by mistake.
Liu Shangwu looked at the situation and said to Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao, "You two stay here and hide. Yunshu and I will go to help."
Squad Leader Liu really cares about the newcomers. Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao nodded, saying that they were not as skilled as others and would avoid them whenever possible.
When Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu joined the melee, the situation immediately turned around. The two newcomers on the opposing team were quickly hit in the vitals and eliminated. Su Xinhao was also able to withdraw from the battle and rest. The remaining four veterans of the Red Team were fighting against the two men of the Blue Team. There was a huge disparity in strength, and the two men on the Blue Team quickly surrendered and pressed the elimination button themselves.
Su Xinhao was hit in the face and half of his face was swollen, which looked quite funny. He grimaced in pain, but he was still very happy that he had won.
Ruan Haoyu applied medicine on his face. Murong Xue, who was sitting next to him, said quietly, "You said you would come, but why didn't you come earlier? You had to wait until I was eliminated before coming. Are you deliberately not saving me?"
Mu Xiaoqiao took her equipment and said, "No matter how bad you are, you still got a kill. We won this time with the kill. If we had time, why wouldn't we save you? Can't you learn from Su Xinhao and hold on for a few more minutes and wait for us? Fortunately, the other side didn't take your equipment. It's a blessing in disguise."
