A huge fireball exploded in the sky, dazzling half of the sky.
Xiao Jing raised her head and looked at the flower petals that fell after the sparks went out. She naturally smiled.
The petals fell on her head, and the smile on her face grew wider as she looked at the crimson.
"Here it comes again."
Everyone shouted happily.
Xiao Jing subconsciously raised her head to look at the sky. "Hong!" The flame exploded.
However, it was different from the coldness of the flames from before. At this moment, the flames were actually a bit hot.
"Bang!"
Sparks flew in all directions from the fireball that exploded. When it landed in the crowd, there were many people who did not react.
"Ah!"
One of them shouted out in panic, and in the next moment, the crowd burst into an uproar.
Hot, hot, hot as if it had been set on fire.
Shen Chengfeng noticed the fireball falling and he raised his hand to block it, pulling the small figure behind him.
"Bang!"
The fireball landed on the ground and instantly exploded. A pool of liquid flowed out, and the entire fireball spread out.
"It"s kerosene, run!"
It was unknown who called out, but the already chaotic crowd completely lost their calm.
Everyone fled in all directions. Fireb.a.l.l.s fell down one after another, smas.h.i.+ng the sh.e.l.l after falling to the ground. The area that the liquid spread out was filled with fire.
"Ah, ah, save me, save me!"
A person fell to the ground in pain. His body was covered in fire, so he must have been hit by a fireball. The fire oil flowed out and ignited his entire body.
Flames filled the sky and everywhere they pa.s.sed, everything was in a mess.
Xiao Jing came back to her senses and kicked away the falling fireb.a.l.l.s. Looking at the fire dragons that instantly spread out on the ground, her eyes seemed to ignite with fire. Instinctively, she shouted, "Captain!"
"Be careful."
Shen Chengfeng grabbed the figure that was pushed away by the crowd and forcefully pulled her back into his control.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the surroundings seemed to be shrouded by it. The brilliant firelight catered to the scorching sun, burning the entire square until it was completely scorched.
"Spend time."
A man of about 1.9 meters and holding a gun in one hand, fired a round into the sky. With a loud bang, the tension in the air increased.
"Captain."
Xiao Jing pulled on the corner of Shen Chengfeng"s s.h.i.+rt, so angry that her hands were trembling uncontrollably.
Shen Chengfeng nodded to her, "Be safe."
After Xiao Jing received the order, she entered the crowd without any hesitation.
The crowd frantically ran in all directions. However, due to the human traffic, the entire square was filled with wails and cries.
"Boss, something doesn"t seem right."
A woman walked onto the high platform and handed over the brilliant pictures that she had just taken.
The man who was called boss looked at his masterpiece with interest. When he saw the two figures flas.h.i.+ng across the crowd, he frowned.
The woman said, "He seems to be a soldier."
"Isn"t that more interesting?"
The man threw the phone high into the air and fired off a shot. The phone instantly shattered into pieces.
The woman took out her gun and aimed it at the fleeing men. Without hesitation, she fired one shot after another.
Xiao Jing successfully broke out of the encirclement. She noticed that the two armed men on the right side were preparing to shoot at the same time. They didn"t stay any longer and rushed forward.
The two men were stunned. Under this kind of situation, there were actually people who didn"t care about their lives and ran over. However, when they saw Xiao Jing wearing a green military T-s.h.i.+rt, the corners of their mouths curled up and at the same time they pointed the gun at the unafraid Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing calculated the amount of time needed for the bullet to fly towards her. It was 0.01 second.
In the blink of an eye.
The impenetrable bullet was like a small spark after a flower bloomed, dazzling in its own way.
Xiao Jing leaped, and in the blink of an eye, she had already closed in on the two men.
The expression of one of them turned cold as he continued to shoot.
"Bang!"
Xiao Jing grabbed one of the man"s spear shafts with one hand, raising the muzzle high up in the air and letting the bullets fly out. The next moment, she formed a fist with the other hand, and a cold wind rushed out, hitting him right in the throat.
The man"s pupils dilated. Before he could even cry out in pain, he had already lost the ability to resist and fell to the ground.
Xiao Jing quickly grabbed onto his gun. Without any hesitation, she fired two shots at the other man who was preparing to sneak attack her.
Under the close range gunshot, the man flew into the air before finally landing heavily on the ground. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and was completely killed.
Xiao Jing looked at the magazine and was sure that this AK bullet was enough. She slowly searched for cover with the gun in hand.
The sound of gunfire echoed around the huge square. This ma.s.sacre seemed to have been planned for a long time.
Xiao Jing caught sight of a woman about ten meters in front of her. The woman"s body was covered in colorful tattoos, and she was currently holding a gun and crazily shooting at it. It was as if she wasn"t alive in front of her, but was instead a lab rat.
"Crack, crack, crack."
The magazine was empty. The woman put down her gun and prepared to replace it.
Xiao Jing raised her a.s.sault rifle and aimed at the person who was changing the magazine with a cold expression.
"Bang!"
The bullet bit down on his prey like a venomous snake. The venom flowed through his blood, causing his prey"s eyes to narrow. Before he could even call out, he fell onto the ground.
"Little Gold."
On the high platform, the man"s expression darkened as he looked around. There were too many people. He did not discover who shot Xiao Jin, but from the accuracy of the shot, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Come out, come out!"
The man jumped off the platform and purposely shot a few pa.s.sersby in a provocative manner.
Xiao Jing was unable to hold on any longer. She couldn"t let the innocent people get hurt.
Her index finger was on the trigger. After confirming that the other party was within her firing range, she stopped thinking and pulled the trigger.
The man sensed the sound of gunshots coming from behind him and dodged to the side, successfully avoiding the bullet. He stared at the crater with interest, hiding behind the cover and grabbing a random crowd as a hostage, yelling, "Come out, or I"ll kill them."
Xiao Jing"s brows tightened. She looked around at the surrounding buildings. Due to the performance, a small stage had been temporarily built. On the stage, a spotlight burst out, emitting colorful rays of light.
"Come out, I"ll count to three."
The man continued to threaten.
The a.s.sault rifle on Xiao Jing"s back, she jumped around the small stage behind the stage and climbed up the small pillar to the top of the stage. She looked at the faintly discernible figure hiding behind the cover.
Seeing that there was no response, the man did not hesitate to point the gun at the hostage"s head, "Go to h.e.l.l."
"Bang!"
Xiao Jing no longer hesitated and directly opened fire.
The bullet pa.s.sed through a small lampstand on the right side of the stage and landed on the man"s exposed arm like a localizer.
"BOOM!"
When the bullet entered his arm, the man"s hand holding the gun suddenly stopped. He didn"t have the time to fire it, so the AK fell to the ground. He leaned over instinctively to pick up the gun.
Xiao Jing saw him enter the range of the shot and fired two more shots.
"Bang!"
The man"s shoulder was. .h.i.t by two bullets at the same time and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He covered the bleeding wound and hid himself completely.
Xiao Jing knew that the other side had lost the ability to resist. Just as she was about to jump off the stage, a bullet came flying through the air.
She somersaulted to her side, stumbling with inertia as she landed on the counter.
Another bullet sped towards her, but she didn"t dare to stay any longer. She pounced forward and rolled off the stage.
"Boss, let"s go."
A man with a gun in both hands entered the battlefield and looked around, aware that the performance was over.
The man called Boss stood up unwillingly. He looked at his own people who had been cleaned up. He had no choice but to retreat first.
Shen Chengfeng finished dealing with the people hiding on the southeast side. He looked at the suddenly calmed public square and knew that the other side had left.
Xiao Jing ran out from behind the concealment, carrying her spear. She looked around at the crowd and her heart was in her throat, "The other side has already retreated, but we haven"t completely killed them yet. I"m afraid we will come back again."
Shen Chengfeng looked at the blood stains on her face and listened to the earth-shaking sirens nearby. After removing all the bullets in the gun, he threw down the empty gun barrel and said, "The police will deal with this now. To avoid unnecessary trouble, leave first."
"Yes, captain"
Xiao Jing followed his movements to remove the bullet.
The two of them left one after the other.
In the car, the atmosphere was depressing.
Shen Chengfeng quickly turned the steering wheel and pulled over.
Xiao Jing didn"t understand why he suddenly stopped the car. She turned around and looked at her own captain in surprise.
Shen Chengfeng also looked over, and their eyes met.
Xiao Jing was stunned. She originally thought that there was something on her face, but just as she raised her hand to wipe her face, she realized that she was in extreme pain.
Shen Chengfeng"s face remained expressionless as he stared at her elbow with his unsmiling eyes.
Only then did Xiao Jing realize that a piece of her skin had been peeled off. She bitterly smiled and said, "No wonder I smelled of blood in the car."
Shen Chengfeng opened the car door and walked to the trunk.
When Xiao Jing saw him leave, she came back with a medicine box in her hand.
Shen Chengfeng opened the pa.s.senger seat without saying a word and grabbed her hand. He opened the lid of the bottle of hydrogen peroxide and splashed it down.
The sudden injection of disinfectant water hurt Xiao Jing so much that she wanted to punch him for a moment. However, after knowing that he was her superior, she didn"t dare to act too rashly.
Shen Chengfeng"s voice was so heavy that it sounded a little blurry. He said, "Every mission does not only require us to complete it. It also requires us to protect ourselves."
Xiao Jing looked at the bandaged wound. It must have been sc.r.a.ped while she was climbing up the platform.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Shen Chengfeng saw her stutter and found it hard to speak. He walked around the car and sat in the car again. This time, he did not drive directly.
After hesitating, Xiao Jing asked, "Captain, if the target uses ordinary people to threaten us, should we put down our weapons in accordance with their requests, or should we continue to shoot him with missions as our priority?"
"What is our responsibility?"
"Protecting the country."
"Firstly, our mission is to shoot down the target, but the target uses an innocent crowd to threaten to fight back. If we give up our weapons and choose to protect the hostage first, the final result is most likely that we will die together with the hostage, losing our lives at the same time. What else can we do to save the hostage?"
"Captain, do you mean to continue shooting at the target?"
Shen Chengfeng was silent. This was against his belief. Their goal was to protect the people and the ma.s.ses, but now, he actually went against his belief and told the soldiers to protect him. Was this considered selfish by him?
Xiao Jing smiled. "Actually, I thought captain would tell me to protect the hostage no matter what."
Shen Chengfeng looked at the small soldier with big white teeth beside him and his calm heart trembled. What did he just say?
Xiao Jing continued, "If there really is no way out, I want to face this kind of desperate situation. We have to compromise first. After all, the responsibility and obligation on our shoulders is to protect our people."
"Xiao Jing."
Shen Chengfeng shouted.
"Hm, captain?"
Xiao Jing turned around and their gazes focused once again.
Shen Chengfeng took out a tissue to wipe her face and said, "We are just flesh and blood in the face of great things. Sometimes, don"t be too conceited."
"Captain, are you telling me to run if I can"t beat the strong?"
Xiao Jing pursed her lips and smiled.
"Yes."
Shen Chengfeng replied with certainty.
Xiao Jing was stunned. What did his captain just admit?
Shen Chengfeng stepped on the gas pedal once more and said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, "In front of you, two of our teammates were killed while we were trying to protect our country. However, we neglected the other side"s courage, which is disproportionate to our endurance. When we were killed, the two of them suffered 36 gunshot wounds and were almost turned into hornet"s nest.
"Captain —"
"I don"t want my soldiers to die innocently, do you understand?"
Xiao Jing thought for a moment. If she were to say "for the country, for the people, for the people," then she would be honored to die. Would the captain beat her up with his punching fist that was like a sandbag?
When they thought of their insignificant ability, they also thought of acting fast. Of course, those seniors would not run away before the battle. Even if they knew that they would never come back, they would still face the enemy head-on with guns.
Not for anything else, just because we"re soldiers.
Even though the soldiers had died, it was still a glorious death!
As the sun set, the entire beach was painted with a crimson hue.
The SUV pulled up in front of the beach.
"Have you forgotten what I told you last time?"
Shen Chengfeng broke the silence in the car and said.
Xiao Jing was about to get out of the car, but hearing his words, she was stunned and couldn"t react to the meaning behind his words.
"Lin Qi is a rare talent. Haven"t you discovered that he treats you differently?"
Shen Chengfeng asked again.
Xiao Jing frowned. She didn"t find anything wrong with Lin Qi, but she also felt that something was amiss.
"Perhaps it"s because you broke that layer of paper, letting him know something."
"What do you mean, Captain?"
"He might really like you."
Shen Chengfeng continued.
As if she had been struck by lightning, Xiao Jing straightened her back in shock. She didn"t know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Captain, your words are serious."
"Observers are clear."
Shen Chengfeng opened the car door.
Xiao Jing walked down hesitantly, "Captain, don"t scare me."
"Think about it properly. If you continue like this, he will find out who you are sooner or later."
Xiao Jing lowered her gaze, silently sinking some of her boots into the sand.
Lin Qi saw the approaching figure and ran over without any hesitation.
When Xiao Jing saw him das.h.i.+ng straight towards her, she subconsciously stopped her steps. Then she turned around a corner and directly avoided him as she ran towards Ji Lin, who was cooking.
Lin Qi stood at the same spot. From Xiao Jing"s deliberate movements, he could tell that she was avoiding him.
When Ji Lin saw Xiao Jing walking towards him, he took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her. He then offered her a precious gift, "Captain Xiao, please have a taste."
Xiao Jing guiltily glanced at Lin Qi, who was behind her. She picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, then nodded her head in satisfaction.
Qi Yue put down his phone and walked in front of Shen Chengfeng. With a serious expression, he said, "The military has just ordered me that there has been an attack on North Island."
"Yeah, we met."
Shen Chengfeng replied concisely as he stared at the two people chatting happily in front of the cauldron.
Qi Yue continued, "Captain, you"ve met him?"
Shen Chengfeng retracted his gaze and nodded, "The other party has already retreated, I"m afraid he is still on this island."
"The military knows that we are training on this island and has issued this order. Tonight, we will clear everything out."
"It"s not hard to clear out the enemies, but they are already on guard. It will be very hard to find them."
Shen Chengfeng walked into the tent and looked at the map of the entire island.
Qi Yue pointed at one point, "This is the first place to attack. The casualties are severe."
"The open field with dense human traffic is indeed a good choice."
"Does the captain think they"ll move again tonight?"
"The other side also suffered serious casualties. They probably won"t act so quickly."
Shen Chengfeng looked at the sky above the beach, "And since they know of our existence, they would not dare to act rashly."
"So you need to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"The police have full control of the island, so anyone who goes in or out will need to be identified. They should not be able to leave for a while, but the North Island is vast and it"s not difficult for them to hide, let alone a group of well-trained guys."
It was impossible for them to jump into the sea, plus, the crowded center of the island was definitely under martial law. It was even more impossible for them to hide in the central area, which meant that they had to use both fighting and attacking to defend the northern forest.
Shen Chengfeng nodded his head and said, "The forest in front of us."
"I will immediately send two people to investigate."
Qi Yue walked quickly out of the tent.
As the night deepened, birds settled in the quiet forest.
"Bang!"
A sh.e.l.l flew across the night sky and finally exploded five meters in front of the tent.
