Chapter 265 Will Chengcai still be a deserter?
The enemy in front was firing at him to suppress him, and he had no way to contact his team leader and headquarters using the walkie-talkie. It seemed as if he was the only one left in the world.

Wu Liuyi was terrified.

I didn't know what to do for a moment.

The body just reacted to the crisis instinctively, and the muscles were conditioned reflexively trained. He pulled out his gun and fired back at the other end of the passage, maintaining continuous fire suppression.

Prevent the enemy from sneaking through the passage and posing a fatal threat to him.

"Click~"

The bullets are gone.

Wu Liuyi quickly put away his gun and replaced the magazine. During the period, his mind was blank, as if it was filled with paste, and he completely lost the ability to think.

It is operated purely by muscle memory, and fighting is entirely based on instincts acquired through long-term training.

"Whoo~"

After replacing the new magazine, Wu Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to continue shooting, he realized that the passage was already silent and there was no trace of the enemy.

Wu Liuyi carefully exposed half of his head and looked at the other end of the passage through night vision goggles.

No enemy was seen either.

No enemy shot at him.

At this moment, the enemy has disappeared, and there is no teammate around. All that remains is the dark passage and the unknown future.

Wu Liuyi was more frightened than ever before, and his entire body was consumed by anxiety.

"Calm down, calm down, it's not that bad."

Wu Liuyi took several deep breaths, trying his best to comfort himself and calm himself down, so that he wouldn't be so confused. Finally, he became a little more sober.

"C1, where are you? Can you hear me?"

"C3, what's going on ahead? Can you tell me?"

Wu Liuyi still chose to call first, hoping to get a response from his teammates. After all, he was just a newcomer and habitually hoped to be led by the old ones.

This was a deliberately designed assessment, so there would naturally be no response to the call.

"Did they all die?"

After waiting for more than ten or twenty seconds without any response, a horrible thought popped into Wu Liuyi's mind, and he almost collapsed in panic.

In order to suppress his pounding heart, Wu Liuyi had to use his brain again.

Realized a core...

Since the veterans didn't react at all, no matter whether they were sacrificed or something else, the mission was not over yet and he had to continue.

But Wu Liuyi didn't know how to complete the subsequent tasks under the current circumstances.

So he had to skip a level and call the command center.

"Command center, this is C4. I can't get in touch with any of my teammates. I need you to tell me what I should do now."

After the call, there was still silence and no response from the headset.

"No signal from the air-raid shelter? Communication is down?"

Wu Liuyi had to think in this direction, and with the current communication terminal as an extension, he realized a situation that he had to face.

There was no way to contact the superiors, and all the teammates had disappeared ahead.

What should I do next?
The instinct for survival told Wu Liuyi that the veterans who were more experienced than him had already sacrificed their lives ahead. If he, a rookie, continued to carry out the mission, he would most likely die here.

But as soon as this thought came to mind, another voice told Wu Liuyi.

It is very likely that his comrades in the front are not dead, but have been captured by the enemy, or have been injured and urgently need his help.

Moreover, the mission has not been completed yet. Once the bomb really explodes, the consequences will be unimaginable.

For the sake of the lives of millions of people in the city, he must muster up the courage to rush forward and ensure the safety of the people even at the cost of his life.

Defending the country and protecting the people is the soul of a soldier!

Taking a step forward will result in a high probability of death, but it is possible to save millions of civilians, as well as the injured who are hiding somewhere ahead waiting to support their teammates.

The next step is to give up all honor and responsibility in exchange for your own survival.

It is a humiliating job after all.

Or die with your head held high.

The two thoughts were like an angel and a demon, colliding and intertwining wildly in Wu Liuyi's mind, constantly tormenting his humanity and soul.

This process is very painful, and it is also a process that an excellent special forces soldier must go through.

After a minute or two of agony.

The soldier's spirit deep in Wu Liuyi's soul, the hard bones of the Seventh Company that had grown extremely strong, and the single-minded determination to overcome the fear of death, overcame his fear and cowardice towards death.

"The 7th Steel Company is an honorable company that fought bravely, and the soldiers who come out of it must not be cowards."

Wu Liuyi took another long breath, and when he slowly exhaled, the confusion in his eyes had been replaced by determination.

All hesitation and fear were dispelled, leaving only the determination to complete the soldier's mission.

"Sanduo, Chengcai, if I die, please remember to bring my ashes back and bury them by the small river in Shangrongshu Village. That was my favorite place when I was a child. It must be very comfortable to sleep there."

Wu Liuyi finally spoke on the radio, not caring whether the other party could hear him or not. It was as if he was muttering to himself, or as if he was talking to himself.

After saying this, he reorganized his equipment and walked resolutely towards the front of the passage.

The three veterans from Group C who had already run out of the passage and were sitting outside to rest could clearly hear what Wu Liuyi said through their headsets.

Even though I knew this was just an assessment and not a true separation of life and death.

However, Wu Liuyi's words and his determination to live in the face of death still moved them deeply, and for the first time in their lives, they felt guilty.

I feel that deceiving Wu Liuyi in this way is a heinous crime.

……

at the same time.

The newcomers who set out from several other directions also encountered the same situation as Wu Liuyi and lost contact with their teammates and superiors.

Even Chengcai and Xu Sanduo, who were in the same group, were separated by the two veterans.

And the leader of their group is Qi Huan, whose acting skills are more superb than those of other grandfathers, and he even added a long love scene.

Using a severely injured and gasping tone, they told Xu Sanduo that they were no longer able to continue.

When Xu Sanduo was eager to rescue them, they stopped him and gave him two choices.

You can choose to return by the same route without any liability.

You can also choose to continue the task.

However, when Xu Sanduo asked anxiously and loudly what he needed to do specifically, Qi Huan did not directly tell him what to do.

Just tell Xu Sanduo: "Do what you can do."

Then Qi Huan seemed to have died, and no sound was heard anymore.

Xu Sanduo's performance is just as in the original plot, with that unique stubbornness that belongs to Rongshu Village, coupled with the extreme kindness and simplicity that few people can possess.

Even though Xu Sanduo was in a desperate situation, he resolutely overcame his fear and chose to continue the mission, even though he didn't know if he could complete it.

Because Xu Sanduo's pure and simple mind didn't think about how dangerous this mission was. He only knew those six words in his mind -

Do not abandon, do not give up!
With such a simple idea, Xu Sanduo also chose to fight alone.

In the original plot, Chengcai was so timid and afraid of death that he finally chose to give up the mission when all the team members were missing and he could not contact the command center.

Because of the appearance of the time traveler Chen Jun, he has been influencing Chengcai since he was a recruit.

In the past few years, Chengcai has felt the comradeship that he had never experienced in the original plot, the sense of honor that he had never felt before, and the sense of mission that he had never known or remembered in the original plot.

It was the long-term immersion in the loving 7th Steel Company with strong cohesion and sense of honor that brought about a great change in Chengcai's character.

As that:
Near Zhu Zhechi, near the ink is black.

With a large group of comrades-in-arms who shared life and death with me, I experienced what comradeship and teamwork are, and I awakened and understood in advance what the responsibilities of a soldier are.

In this almost desperate situation, Chengcai did not give up out of fear of death as he had done before.

Although he was indeed very scared, the fear of death made his hands tremble, and there was no one to help him, which made him feel helpless.

But when I think of my old comrades like Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi, they are still fighting the criminals.

It is even possible that he is in the same situation as him, fighting alone and it is very dangerous. If he can find them, he will be able to regroup into a powerful fist.

The balance in Chengcai's heart tilted to one side, and the fear was finally suppressed.

Even if it's just a little bit.

But just this bit of you is completely enough.

"Xu Sanduo, wait for me. You can't get into trouble. You must hold on. And Deputy Squad Leader Wu, we came out of the 7th Steel Company together, so we must go back together. No one can stay here."

Chengcai roared loudly to vent his anger, as if trying to dispel the fear in his heart.

Although he was wearing a full-face gas mask and his voice was blocked inside and could be very small, it was enough for Chengcai to stand firm.

He slammed his eyelids a few times to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, and then pounded his chest heavily.

Chengcai forced himself to suppress his heart, which was pounding at over 120 beats per minute due to fear, picked up the gun and continued to walk forward into the darkness.

The last one, Wu Zhe, made the least movement. The old A's did not make any extra movements, as if they were worried that the top student Wu Zhe would see through them.

There was also a fierce gun battle, and then they disappeared collectively.

Another newcomer in the same team also lost track of him at this time and received no response no matter how he used the intercom.

Wu Zhe was also very frightened and uneasy in his heart, but his thoughts were relatively mature and not as complicated as Xu Sanduo and the others.

Wu Zhe, who knows very well that obeying orders is his duty, is like a robot that knows the standard answers.

Even though all the team members were likely to die, he still firmly carried out the orders of his superiors, suppressed his fear and continued to move forward to carry out the mission.

And as a skeptic, I am skeptical about everything at all times.

Even though Wu Zhe was 90% sure that this was an actual combat operation at this point, he was still looking for suspicious signs.

Wanted to prove that this was all an act and not a real fight.

I don’t want any comrades to die!

"Keep calm, keep calm, keep calm..."

After repeating his signature catchphrase more than a dozen times, Wu Zhe also embarked on this solo journey.

The new trainees coming from four directions all chose to continue their mission. None of them became cowards and went deeper into the factory.

Wu Liuyi used the dim vision in the passage to search for the injured old team member.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see any.

However, after running around in the air-raid shelter, he soon found a passage out, and the faint light gave him hope.

"This should be the exit. The corresponding location should be somewhere in the main warehouse."

Wu Liuyi stared at the foul language for a long time, knowing that if he went out there, he would most likely encounter the enemy and a real gunfight would soon break out.

Thinking about the mission that must be completed and the comrades who are fighting on other fronts.

Wu Liuyi chose to climb the mountain along the passage. When he reached the exit, he carefully stuck his head out to look around for a moment. After confirming the terrain outside, he carefully climbed out.

After going out and not seeing the criminals, Wu Liuyi moved forward along the wall.

His vision was not very good with the gas mask on, but the entire warehouse was filled with yellow smoke, which blocked his vision and made him dare not take it off.

Just as he passed a corner, he suddenly heard a slight friction on the other side of the corner.

That means walking carefully and feeling the friction between your feet and the ground.

"There is an enemy!!"

Wu Liuyi's nerves immediately froze, and he immediately pointed the muzzle of his gun at the corner.

But then he thought that he was acting in secret, and once he opened fire, it would attract all the criminals in the warehouse, and all his efforts would fail.

So he chose to put the gun down, took out the tactical dagger from his waist and reached over.

Three meters... two meters... one meter...

Just as the target was about to come around the corner, Wu Liuyi took the initiative to rush over, grabbed the opponent's gun muzzle with his left hand and pushed it up to the sky, and inserted the dagger in his right hand diagonally from above, locking onto the opponent's neck.

This is a standard move in the Crawling Knife, and as long as it hits the target, it can cut off the enemy's carotid artery.

but.

Just as the knife returned to mid-air, Wu Liuyi's hand suddenly stopped.

Because even through the gas mask, he recognized the person coming over. It was Chengcai, an old acquaintance who was assigned to the west entrance.

"Chengcai? Why is it you?"

Wu Liuyi pulled Chengcai over and hid together in the corner. Then he lowered his voice and asked urgently.

"Deputy Wu, it's great, it's great to meet you."

Chengcai was shrouded in panic and tension. He was really frightened to the point of being limp all over by the sudden attack. But when he found out that it was Wu Liuyi, he was suddenly replaced by excitement.

In this depressing environment of fighting alone, it is really exciting to meet a teammate.

Not to mention that he is an old buddy from the Seventh Company!
"Where is Xu Sanduo? Where are the people in your team? Why are you alone?" Wu Liuyi asked again, wanting to know what had happened.

"I don't know. I don't know where they went. A fight suddenly broke out in the passage just now. The rest of our team, including Sanduo, disappeared. I couldn't contact them with my intercom."

Chengcai tried hard to calm himself down so that he could explain it more clearly.

"Huh? They all disappeared suddenly?"

When Wu Liu thought about the situation he had encountered, his heart suddenly tightened when he heard the news, thinking that he had encountered a group of powerful criminals.

He was able to act silently and take care of two groups of special forces in an instant.

This fighting ability is really strong!

Because of this big loophole, how could it be possible that the same situation happened at the same time when the two teams were terrified and the criminals encountered each other?

Based on this big loophole, it is suspected that this was a premeditated act.
