Standing in front of the big screen, Commander Dong saluted and replied with a serious expression, “Yes! We will listen to the military’s arrangements!”
The military wasn’t the only one who had high hopes for the two special forces in the competition next year. The highest-ranking leader in the Great Hall was the same. Commander Xia conveyed the highest-ranking leader’s advice. “Since there’s a start, there must be a good ending.”
“We trained hard in the country and realized our shortcomings. We used 120% of our determination to turn our shortcomings into our strengths. Then, we used 120% of our willpower to carry the responsibility that a soldier should bear! We trained hard for the competition next year. In the end, we brought honor to our country and returned in glory!”
“Yes!” All the generals and soldiers in the command center stood at attention and saluted. They replied to the military in a loud and confident voice.
The two teams carrying the responsibility had already set off with 25 kilograms of equipment on their backs. At 3:00 AM, an order from the command center came through the radio. The match started. The two teams quickly entered the competition area and started fighting.
At six o’clock in the morning, the Water Ghosts of the Storm Commando Brigade, who were crawling in the deep withered grass, stared at the pine forest in front of them without blinking. Three minutes later, four figures hunched their backs and approached the forest with the withered grass as cover.
Two of them scouted and two of them were on guard. After confirming that there were no problems at the edge of the forest, they sent a signal to their team members. The Water Ghosts in the bushes advanced quickly as a unit.
The ground beneath their feet was covered with thick and soft pine needles. Due to the autumn rain last night, the entire forest was filled with the smell of dampness and decay.
“Advance!”
Someone said in a low voice. Several figures, one on guard and the other on a rapid march, bent their legs slightly and leaned forward slightly. Holding their guns with both hands, they entered the depths of the pine forest as if they were ready to shoot at any moment.
In the forest, there was mist. It wasn’t thick. One could see the ‘mist belt’ with the naked eye. It was like a handkerchief on the arm of a fairy. It was faint and illusionary.
Everyone was wearing forest combat uniforms. The color was similar to the color of the mountains and forests. It had a good camouflage function. The two of them formed a team and advanced forward. It was a strategy that didn’t miss out on anything. Once the other side was taken as a target, the other members would be able to react quickly.
The birds on the branches chirped and flapped their small wings as they passed through the thick pine leaves. In the blink of an eye, they landed on another tree.
The Water Ghosts that were moving forward silently suddenly reacted. Some quickly went behind the trees, some squatted quickly, some laid down directly, and some pushed their elbows forward and quickly found the right position.
“Bang, bang, bang!” Countless gunshots broke the silence. The bullets that passed through the air instantly made the atmosphere in the forest especially tense. The Water Ghosts had already entered combat mode. When the gunshots sounded, the entire team reacted in unison and started fighting.
“Everyone, complete your search!” Li Jinnian’s cold voice came from the earpieces. He and Ye Jian completed the first round of clearing and sweeping. They were already moving forward quickly. “Clear the obstacles, move forward!”
As his voice was heard, the hidden Water Ghosts moved forward quickly. At the same time, they moved their rifles and aimed at their targets. They pulled the trigger and completed their search!
Once the obstacles in front were cleared, all the members could not stay still any longer. They needed to move forward quickly and shoot.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
