Chapter 395: Desperado, Shot

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This is a group of criminals who were originally conducting illegal transactions in a remote border area.

However, in this particular transaction, one party had malicious intentions from the start, hoping to get away without paying. That’s why the current situation has unfolded.

The group with such intentions had pre-arranged individuals hidden in the shadows, waiting until they saw the other side’s goods before making their move.

At that moment, half of the opposing group that had come from the Black Triangle was either killed or injured, and the remaining few fled.

If everything goes as planned, these guys will have a hard time escaping. After all, nearly twenty people are chasing them, and even their leader is staying behind with some others to clean up the scene.

However, what comes unexpectedly is often quite sudden.

The sound of gunfire actually attracted military personnel.

“Quick… retreat!”

At this moment, among those chasing from behind, the temporary leader felt a chill in his heart.

They had encountered the military.

Damn it, they didn’t check the calendar before leaving!

Whether it’s a populated or unpopulated area, there are always soldiers and armed police patrolling the border.

They were aware of this, but they were gambling that they wouldn’t encounter any while conducting their illegal transaction here.

In fact, the first few times they engaged in small-scale transactions and “fishing” here, nothing went wrong. They didn’t expect trouble this time.

In an instant, he shouted for everyone to retreat.

He needed to go back and tell their leader to run fast.

Facing off against the military was not something they had the guts to do.

However, after they stopped and retreated, the few individuals chasing them from the Black Triangle ahead didn’t stop.

“Bang! Bang!”

Gunshots continued, and several of them continuously fired their weapons in the direction where Yan Zhiming and his group were located.

The shot fired by the soldier from Yan Zhiming’s squad earlier had missed them.

There was still a distance of about thirty to forty meters between them. In their first real combat encounter, the random shots fired from behind the large tree had missed their mark by a wide margin.

“Go… charge… charge forward!”

One of them, a dark-skinned individual shouted.

They were now true fugitives. When they saw Yan Zhiming and his group, even though they were frightened to the core, they dared to raise their weapons and open fire.

Mainly, they were well aware that giving up their arms and being captured meant certain death. The country they were dealing with, ZHK, had the most stringent anti-drug measures, and for international drug traffickers like them, capture meant a death sentence. So, there was no way they would lay down their weapons.

As for retreating, it was no different from death. Those untrustworthy bastards were still behind them.

So, they had only one option: charge forward, all the way to the border, and then cross it to get back.

“Watch out!”

Lu Yibo, who was Yan Zhiming’s squad leader, shouted loudly as these guys charged toward them.

Although they managed to avoid a direct confrontation and instead veered slightly to the side, they were still coming towards them.

And not far from where they were charging, two privates were hiding behind a large tree.

Currently, only one of them had a live round in their gun, while the other had just fired blanks earlier.

After yelling and lying down on the ground, Lu Yibo quickly fired two shots into the air, then suddenly rolled a few times before changing his position and getting up with his gun ready. He aimed at the few individuals running from that direction and fired two shots in succession.

He did this because there were still two empty rounds in the front of his magazine, and there wasn’t time to remove them, so he fired them off directly. freewe bnovel.com

Now that he had gotten up, he didn’t have much time to aim, but the people running toward them were now only about ten meters away. 𝑓𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Two shots in quick succession, and one of the six opponents fell straight to the ground.

But just at that moment, not far from their position behind a tree, there was a muffled grunt, and then a soldier collapsed.

Their position had only a tree as cover, and the enemy continued to suppress them with random gunfire.

The soldier who had fired blanks could focus on evading, but the one with the live round in his gun, after firing alongside Lu Yibo, also wanted to shoot. However, lacking experience in actual combat, he was hit by the bullets fired haphazardly by the enemy before he could pull back and fire.

“That fucker Wang!” Lu Yibo, seeing his comrade fall, tears welling up in his eyes.

He quickly got up, clutching his gun.

But in the next moment, before he could fire, his body shuddered.

“Bang!”

A gunshot rang out, and it was his gun that had fired.

However, when the gun went off, the muzzle was pointed upward, and the bullet flew directly into the sky.

“Zhiming!”

Beside him, Lu Yibo shouted desperately with bloodshot eyes.

“Click, click,” he tried to pull the trigger again, but there were no more bullets.

Filled with rage, he couldn’t care about anything else at the moment. He threw the gun aside and quickly crawled towards Yan Zhiming.

Two shots had been fired, one hitting the abdomen and the other the chest.

“Don’t move, you’ll be okay, I… I’ll bandage you up!” Lu Yibo, with swollen, teary eyes, assured Yan Zhiming.

He quickly took out a first aid kit from his pocket.

“Go… quickly…”

At the same time, several drug traffickers on the opposite side, after leaving the wounded comrade behind, had also rushed towards Yan Zhiming’s group.

They were still firing backward, but at this moment, they weren’t even looking, just blindly shooting while running.

“What? Outlaws running rampant?”

“Alright, I’ll immediately arrange for action!”

In the exercise department, the chief of staff held the phone and his eyebrows were almost furrowed together.

Filled with anger.

“Captain Xue!”

Seeing the chief of staff hang up the phone, Captain Xue quickly spoke up.

“We have two soldiers wounded by gunfire, and the criminals on the other side are fleeing in two groups. 1 need your help right now!”

“Alright! Tell me what to do!” Captain Xue was also taken aback when he heard this.

“Send one of your two transport planes to us, we’ll have ammunition delivered immediately. I’ll organize the previously eliminated soldiers to go over. However, the two groups of the enemy have split up, so your other transport plane should continue picking up people in the mountains as quickly as possible. Whether they’re your people or ours, one counts as one. Bring them to the supply station to receive live ammunition, and then continue to provide support.”

“Understood!”

Captain Xue immediately responded and began giving orders.

“Captain, what’s going on?”

At the supply station, Jiangnan and the others were now standing on the training ground where Yan Zhiming’s group had departed from.

They had been eliminated, but after elimination, they couldn’t go back, and they certainly couldn’t rest.

In fact, they had it worse after elimination.

Survival competition eliminated them, so now they had to continue surviving in the mountains near the supply station. And this time, the chief of staff had given them orders to survive in this jungle for ten days.

However, just now, the chief of staff had issued an urgent command.

End the survival exercise, urgent mission, everyone gather here.

So, they had rushed out in a hurry.

“How should I know?” Jiangnan replied with irritation as he looked at the cook beside him.

The chief of staff’s orders were limited to what they needed to do, and he hadn’t provided any additional information. Right now, Jiangnan and the others were just as puzzled.

“I wonder how Wang Ye is doing,” the clerk next to them said.

“It’s a good thing if he hasn’t come out yet, but I wonder if this emergency mission will disrupt the exercise,” Jiangnan said, looking at the situation with indifference.

Actually, deep down, he kind of hoped the exercise would be disrupted. If Wang Ye hadn’t come out yet, it meant the exercise would be interrupted, and that meant Wang Ye had come out alive.

In such a situation, they could finally talk about the thermal imaging device Wang Ye had in his possession.

This time, the entire battalion had gone into the mountains, including the battalion commander, even though they didn’t have maps. But so far, he had the highest position eliminated.

It was embarrassing!

If Wang Ye could secure the thermal imaging device, he could turn the tables.

At this moment, he still had no idea what the emergency was, so he had time to ponder.

He had no idea that Wang Ye, whom they were talking about, was actually just a few hundred meters away from them.

Wang Ye was not far from the supply station to begin with, so he could quickly return when he received the command.

“Why did they suspend the exercise?” Wang Ye muttered as he ran, carrying only his gun, ammunition, and a thermal imaging device.

In the event of an emergency suspension of the exercise, he needed to return as quickly as possible, so he didn’t have time to detour to get his backpack.

As he looked at the supply station ahead, Wang Ye was lost in thought while running. He wondered what had caused the exercise to be suspended and felt a bit regretful for not encountering the Black Fox this time.

“Hmm?”

When he was about two hundred meters from the supply station, Wang Ye suddenly turned around.

He saw it—a helicopter flying over. This helicopter was clearly not one of their own unit’s Z-9s but a larger model.

“What’s going on?” Wang Ye was puzzled, but he quickly discarded his scattered thoughts and hurried towards the supply station.

He had a feeling something was not right.

Another exercise suspension, coupled with the arrival of this unfamiliar, larger helicopter—was something significant happening?

“Platoon… Platoon Leader… am 1… am 1 useless?”

Lying on the ground, Yan Zhiming’s mouth kept bleeding.

“No… you’re not useless, you’re great, and brave, even braver than your fellow villagers. Hang in there!” Lu Yibo, while helping Yan Zhiming stop the bleeding, spoke with teary eyes.

Their two other comrades were also with them, and one of the uninjured soldiers was assisting Lu Yibo.

“Yeah, buddy, hang in there. You’ll be fine. Look, I got hit too, but I’m still here and kicking. You can do it!” The other uninjured private, despite his lips turning pale and his forehead dotted with sweat, encouraged Yan Zhiming with determination.

He had been shot, but fortunately, the bullet had only hit his right shoulder. Now, he refused the assistance of his comrade and instead pressed on his wound to stop the bleeding, allowing his comrade to help the platoon leader, Yan Zhiming.

“Heh… heh~” Yan Zhiming’s face revealed a faint smile, and with a smile, he coughed up some blood.

“Don’t laugh, just talk, but don’t strain yourself, we can hear you!” Lu Yibo urgently spoke.

He wanted Yan Zhiming to talk to keep his spirits up, but seeing Yan Zhiming smile and then cough up blood worried him.

At the moment, he didn’t dare to do too much to treat Yan Zhiming’s wounds, so he could only use a hemostatic cloth to cover the wounds. Yan Zhiming had two gunshot wounds, both of which were too life-threatening.

“Platoon… platoon leader… I want to hear… hear… our station song!” Yan Zhiming weakly spoke.

“Alright, but you have to get better first. When you’re well, the platoon leader will sing it to you, sing until you get tired of it. We won’t sing now, so you hang in there!” Lu Yibo’s eyes were filled with tears.

Yan Zhiming’s condition was deteriorating, and he was very concerned.

“Quick, didn’t they say a plane was coming? Why hasn’t it arrived yet?” He turned to look at Xiao He, who was nearby, urging him.

“Okay, I’ll ask again, I ll check again!”

“Platoon… platoon leader… sing it now… I… 1…” Yan Zhiming weakly voiced his request, causing Lu Yibo to panic.

“Alright… I’ll sing it, I ll sing it. But don’t talk anymore. You have to listen carefully, okay? Don’t close your eyes!”

The two hands that were helping Yan Zhiming stop the bleeding were soaked in blood, and as he looked at Yan Zhiming opening his mouth, blood gushing out with each word, Lu Yibo’s voice trembled slightly as he began to sing their station song.

“In the vast sea of people…

Which one am i…
