The team members surrounded Da Vinci in silence as they looked at him lying in a pool of blood. Their hands that were holding their guns became extremely stiff.
Small bubbles of blood slowly seeped out of his tattered pants, and they could even see the broken bones. His legs were probably crippled. What was more serious was that he had been shot twice in the chest and abdomen a few days ago in the camp. He had miraculously recovered during the escape, but now the wound had opened up again.
Although Da Vinci had always boasted himself as the number two cockroach of Group 7, and although he had perfectly displayed his powerful vitality during the process of escaping alone in the forest, the heavy injuries had ultimately defeated his body and spirit. He was like a helpless pale youth, lying in Gu Xifeng's arms on the verge of death, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
The team members opened the glass screen of their individual helmets and smelled the smell of blood on the grass. They began to call Da Vinci's name, wanting to accompany him on his last journey.
Xiong Linquan's face was livid. He turned around and threw his helmet away, creating a deep hole in the wet grass. However, he still could not vent the emotions in his heart at the moment.
Xu Le squatted down and picked up Da Vinci's body from Gu Xifeng's arms, who was about to faint from crying. He laid him flat on the soft grass, pulled out a tourniquet from his waist, and forcefully wrapped it around Da Vinci's thighs. He then tied a knot.
Xu Le's movements were very fast. As soon as the knot was tied, he took out the high-efficiency hormone injection from his military backpack. He quickly tore open the outer packaging, aimed the round needle at Da Vinci's chest, and forcefully pushed it down.
The hormone injection was quickly injected into Da Vinci's body. Da Vinci did not know whether it was the effect of the drug or because he felt that there were many people around him. He opened his eyes with difficulty and stared at the blurry figure beside him. He recognized Xiong Linquan's broad back purely by feeling and murmured, "Captain Xiong, I want to say my last words."
Xu Le half-knelt beside him and opened the medical kit. When he heard the word 'last words', he slightly frowned, but his hands did not stop moving. He took out the L-shaped surgical probe.
"Captain Bear, tell … Gao Lou's sister, don't wait for me."
Da Vinci narrowed his eyes and looked at the thick clouds in the sky that could not be seen clearly. His dry lips moved slightly, and he said in a weak voice, "It's all Gao Lou's father's fault. He stubbornly … stubbornly refused to agree. Otherwise, we would have … married and had a son three years ago.
Xiong Linquan turned around and squatted beside him. He held his right hand, which was full of dust and blood, and said in a deep voice, "I will pass the message to you."
Monkey, Mountain Pao, and the other members of Group 7 knew the story very well. It was a story that happened at Creek 3320. Xiao Shisan sacrificed himself to save Da Vinci. Da Vinci was determined to marry his sister, but for some reason, Da Vinci's father, who worked in the capital ring, did not agree.
Putting down, or rather, giving up the last stone in his heart, Da Vinci's pale cheeks showed a hint of relief. However, a moment later, two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks. He cried and said, "Her father doesn't like that I'm the son of the governor."
Da Vinci grabbed Xiong Linquan's hand tightly and cried, "I'm a war hero, right? I hate those f * cking politicians … corrupt officials, but my father is such a person. I hate … him! Tell my mom to … divorce him. Tell her that these are my last words. Mmm … Mom, I miss you. "
Although they were all soldiers who were used to life and death on the battlefield, when they saw Da Vinci, who was usually the most unyielding, crying and calling for his mother in the face of death, many of the men on the grass still had tears in their eyes.
Da Vinci's head fell to the side weakly, and then a blurry figure entered his eyes. This figure was very important to him and very familiar, but he had not seen it for a long time.
"Boss? Am I seeing things or am I going to die? How can I see you? "
Xu Le heard Da Vinci's muttering question, but he did not answer. At this time, he was burying his head in treating the terrible injuries on his lower body. He had just finished mixing the third blood coagulation injection and was preparing to remove the terrible shrapnel between the flesh and blood.
"Da Vinci, you didn't see wrong. It's the boss! The boss is back! The boss is here to take us out of this damn place. You can't die! "
Shan Pao roared anxiously, and then begged Xu Le, "Boss, say something!"
Xu Le was still silent. He listened carefully to Da Vinci's breath that was getting weaker and weaker. His pair of knife-like thick eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and his heart became colder and colder.
…
…
In the 68th year of the constitutional calendar, the Federation government under the leadership of President Pabre began a series of operations in order to restore the glory of the 17th Division War God. In this operation, more than a hundred soldiers of the Federation's nobles who were happily gilding themselves in the 8384 Garrison Unit of the Port City were secretly sent to Cillin and began to receive Group 7's devilish training.
The three demonic instructors, Xu Le, Bai Magnolia, and Xiong Linquan, left a deep impression on those children that would never be erased for the rest of their lives. It was no exaggeration to say that it changed their lives, because from then on, they were no longer the dandy children of the Federation who were ridiculed behind their backs. Instead, they became members of the Federal military's illustrious group of heroes.
Among those new members of the noble families, Da Vinci and Xi Peng had the best military qualities. Xi Peng couldn't get rid of her old entanglements and left Group 7 early. Da Vinci stayed and quickly showed his outstanding side, becoming the first new member to follow the old members on missions.
Xu Le silently looked at Da Vinci's pale cheeks and closed eyes. He naturally recalled the sweat on the West Woods field, the liquor in the auditorium, and the blood on the battlefield. He silently paid respect to the soldiers who were about to die.
His father was the governor of Xixia State, but he was just an ordinary soldier on the front line. This was not something that anyone could do.
Xiong Linquan's face was ashen as he looked at Gu Xifeng and asked, "Where are the others in the camp?"
Gu Xifeng retracted her shocked gaze from Xu Le and said dejectedly, "They're all dead."
NTR Group's forward camp was located in an extremely remote location, and their disguise was extremely good. However, they still couldn't escape the Federation's search. A total of two hundred people from the small eyes' special forces took a fighter and launched a surprise attack. The camp, which only had a dozen members, was instantly destroyed. Only Gu Xifeng and Da Vinci managed to hide ahead of time.
Hearing this, Xiong Linquan's face turned even uglier. He walked behind Xu Le and whispered the names of a few people who had died in the camp.
Xu Le's eyebrows slowly rose. Those familiar names represented fresh faces. Those names had all appeared in Group 7's roster. They were all his closest and most reliable subordinates or companions.
Ever since his identity as a citizen of the Empire was made known to the world, the situation of the members of Group 7 had become awkward. Fortunately, they all had family backgrounds in the capital ring, and with the protection of the Seventeenth Division and Teacher Yu, their days on the front line were not difficult.
Until the commander-in-chief at the front line was replaced, the members were transferred to the most dangerous NTR Group in batches and began to undergo inhuman tests again and again in the southwest theater. However, what was strange, or perhaps admirable, was that not a single member told the situation at the front line to their powerful parents in the rear in an attempt to be transferred away from NTR.
This was because they firmly believed that the duty of a soldier was to appear on the most dangerous battlefield. If they did not go to the front line, there would naturally be other ordinary soldiers who would go to the front line. How could they cry and ask for their mothers at every turn?
"Even if they're retired, there are less than thirty people left."
Xu Le looked at the few members around him and silently calculated in his mind. When he thought of those high-ranking military officers in the Federation base, his eyebrows slowly rose.
The four captives were escorted over. Their bodies were more or less injured, and their faces no longer had the usual arrogance and confidence, only nervousness and panic.
The Small Eyes Unit, which was a military establishment but belonged to the Federation government's joint investigation department, was mostly from Philadelphia. They had all undergone special training at the Philadelphia Training Hall and were abnormally strong. In their eyes, whether it was Du Shaoqing's Iron Seventh Division or the new Seventeenth Division, they were all just a mob.
They never would have thought that they would be defeated so quickly and so thoroughly in the previous battle. They didn't even have time to report the situation to the headquarters at the rear before they lost in a complete mess. They were humiliated and became prisoners of war.
Xu Le was very clear about the origins of these special forces soldiers. The first person to fight these people in this world was himself. To be more precise, when the Federation's Small Eyes Unit was first established, their only purpose was to capture or kill him.
He stared at the Small Eyes Blood Seal on the captives' shoulders and said, "You are Lee Jae-do's men."
The captives did not answer his question. Instead, the officer looked at Xu Le's face and his expression became more and more strange. He said in shock, "You are Xu Le!"
After a moment, he seemed to understand something. He looked at the people around him and roared angrily, "You are indeed colluding with the people of the Empire!"
The officer stared into Xiong Linquan's eyes and threatened coldly, "I suggest you let us go immediately and surrender. Otherwise, you will definitely regret what you did today."
The sound of a gun being loaded rang out. Xiong Linquan glared with his blood-red eyes, raised the barrel in his hand, and aimed it at the officer's forehead. He roared furiously, "I'll make you regret what you've done today!"
Gu Xifeng, who was being supported by Shan Pao, said in pain, "Kill them and avenge our brothers!"
The officer of the Small Eyes Combat Unit looked at the muzzle of the gun that was inches away from him. His face turned pale from fear, but his eyes were unusually bright. He roared forcefully, "You dare to kill the captives!"
"It's not the first time I've killed them," Xiong Linquan replied in a low voice.
The Small Eyes Combat Unit officer's expression changed drastically. He finally remembered that he was facing Group 7, the legendary Group 7 that dared to do anything. His gray lips trembled quickly for a moment before he screamed, "Federation people don't kill Federation people!"
This was a famous quote from a Federation member. Back when the West Woods was at its strongest and the internal situation of the Federation was very unstable, one of the ancestors of the Zhong family looked at the television camera and calmly said, "Federation people don't kill Federation people." Since then, no one had discussed the issue of West Woods independence.
Hearing these shameless words, Gu Xifeng spat at the officer and said with endless hatred, "Then why did you shoot at us!"
"Federation people really shouldn't kill Federation people."
Xu Le took the gun from Xiong Linquan's hand and looked at his team members who had angry expressions and the few captives from the Small Eyes Combat Unit who had complicated emotions. He paused for a moment before he raised his arm and pulled the trigger in a simple and neat manner.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
Four crisp gunshots rang out. Four Small Eyes Combat Unit special forces soldiers, with bloody holes in between their eyebrows and expressions of shock and fear, fell dead on the grass that was already covered in blood.
"But I'm from the Empire," Xu Le said to the four corpses.
Then he walked back to Da Vinci's side. With the last bit of desperation and exhaustion, he slapped Da Vinci's face and roared in a low voice, "Wake up!"
Da Vinci slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
…
…
In the backup camp prepared by Gu Xifeng, the team restocked some ammunition and once again set foot on the road of escape. However, this time, other than Dongfang Yu, there was also Da Vinci in the team. On the stretcher temporarily made of branches, Dongfang Yu often frowned from the jolting. Da Vinci was still in a semi-conscious state. He even convulsed when they came to Pinecone Ridge. He wasn't completely out of danger yet.
Xu Le threw the device in his backpack to Gu Xifeng and told him to repair it as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to contact Philip under this cloud of lead and would feel very insecure. As for himself, he was still with Xiong Linquan, acting as the main force carrying the stretcher.
Gu Xifeng lived up to his reputation as the Federal military's top electronic control expert. Although he had completely repaired the device, through his thick and round fingers, the team was able to listen in on a few secret communications from the Federation base.
The order to kill them was no longer new. What everyone noticed was that the decisive battle by the lakeside had already been decided. The remnants of the Empire's army were scattered in a corner of the southwest war zone. The wider plains had already been completely occupied by the Federal forces.
"I still feel that we should return to base and tell everyone the truth. Otherwise, there's no point in continuing to run like this, unless we really defect to the Empire's side."
Dongfang Yu on the stretcher said.
Xu Le frowned and said, "The key is that those people in the base won't give us a chance to speak. They don't ask us questions, only bullets."
"You shouldn't have been so impulsive as to kill those four captives."
Dongfang Yu coughed painfully and said, "Now, even if I want to explain it, I won't be able to."
After a moment of silence, Xu Le said, "You're not a member of Group 7. You don't understand that we rarely say anything. We're only used to doing things."
The team silently walked through the fog-shrouded mountain forest. After a long period of silence, Dongfang Yu on the stretcher suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "I know a relatively safe place. It's just a matter of whether you dare to go or not."
