Chapter 68: Life and Death

  I swallowed hard and casually lifted my head to take a look, and the cold sweat that had just stopped instantly drenched my entire body again!

  Only to see on the tree trunk above my head, a large hole was suddenly shot out by a sniper bullet, and it was emitting a faint smoke! It's an anti-material sniper rifle! The power that can cause such a result is probably only possible with an anti-material sniper rifle!

  If this powerful bullet had gone down a bit more, my head would have been like a watermelon that was smashed open with a loud bang, and there wouldn't even be any pulp left.

  Just like we used to blow our enemies' heads off!

  Just as I was secretly celebrating, Kim Jee-joon, who had been holding back his anger, suddenly shouted "Opportunity" and quickly stood up from his hiding place, raised the PSG-1 sniper rifle in his hand, and pulled the trigger towards the opponent's sniper position.

  Scorpion tail surprise, loud cry careful! But it's too late, the new soldier's real combat experience is insufficient, and this is clearly evident when a hot blood rushes to the brain, extremely brave but forgets all the military experience summarized by his predecessors with their lives. Kim Jee-joon's hastily shot bullet did not hit the opponent's sniper, unable to dodge, several incoming bullets hit Kim Jee-joon's chest, accompanied by two "puffs", Kim Jee-joon cried out in pain and fell to the ground. The opponent's sniper took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the sniper rifle and prepare to change positions.

  As a sniper, Kim Ji-hoon lacks patience and stability.

  Bang!

  Another gunshot rang out, and the sniper who had just stood up fell to the ground amidst a cloud of blood mist. The scorpion tail quickly pulled back the bolt, ejecting the shell and loading a new bullet.

  "Number 16, how are you?" The captain's voice came right after.

  Suddenly hearing the captain's shout, I, who was still in a daze, lifted my head and saw Kim Ji-hoon lying on the ground. My heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly felt like it was being fiercely grasped, making it even hard to breathe!

  No!

  I let out a loud shout, and suddenly sprang out from my hiding place, leaping in the direction where Kim Ji-hoon had fallen. As I landed, I used the momentum to roll forward, and rushed to Kim Ji-hoon's side. The captain yelled loudly, covering us as bullets poured down on the enemy's position like crazy.

  A dozen or so guns fired bullets that easily suppressed the attack from across, before I could take a closer look, I took advantage of the opportunity to grab his clothes and drag him behind a boulder.

  "How are you, number 16?"

  I ran my hands up and down on Kim Ji-hoon's body, but didn't find any bleeding spots. The two charred holes in his chest had two shiny bullets embedded in the bulletproof vest, which had blocked the shots.

  Kim Joon-oh lay on the ground with a pained expression, Death having narrowly missed us once again! If I can safely return to base, I'll make sure to bid farewell to all the gods.

  I shouted twice, but Kim Jee-joon still didn't move, lying there motionless. I swung my hands without hesitation, slapping his face with two loud "pops". I yelled loudly: "Wake up!"

  Kim Ji-joon furrowed his brow, coughed, and spat out a mouthful of blood that splattered my face. I was taken aback, wiped my face hastily, and held Kim Ji-joon's head, shaking it vigorously: "How are you?"

  "Pain..."

  Kim Ji-joon painfully opened his eyes, struggled to lift his right hand to press against his chest, and a thread of fresh blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.

  It must be a broken rib and internal injury! I hurriedly moved his hand away, wanting to check slightly, but Kim Jee-joon was fully equipped, and it was impossible to check anything at this time.

  Although he was wearing a bulletproof vest, the bullet head was blocked, but the force of the bullet hitting his body would not be blocked. The rifle bullets shot from thirty meters away hit his body like two people wielding iron hammers heavily hitting his body, which could easily break her ribs and cause internal injuries. There have been cases where soldiers wearing bulletproof vests were killed by the force of incoming bullets.

  "Kim Jee-joon, you damn well better hold on, we came together and we'll die together! If you dare to give up, I'll rush out right now and fight them to the death!" All I can do now is cheer him on.

  "What's the situation with No. 16?"

  "It's not good!" I yelled into the headset, "He's wearing a bulletproof vest, but he's got internal injuries, possibly broken ribs or damaged organs!"

  The captain cursed loudly and commanded: "Tank, take them down!"

  "Exactly, I've been waiting for you to say that!"

  A few seconds later, accompanied by the whirring of the Gatling M134 six-barreled machine gun, a continuous and dull loud noise started. The tank first fired a circle of bullets before standing up from its hiding place without any worries. The bullets shot out like a fire dragon sweeping towards the enemy on the opposite side. In an instant, all the gunfire stopped, leaving only the Gatling drawing lines of bullet marks hitting the enemy's hiding place. Suddenly, earth and rocks flew everywhere, wood chips splashed, blood splattered with mournful cries, like a human hell.

  The tank stopped firing after only ten seconds, the ammunition behind him was not much. The whole forest instantly restored calmness, if it wasn't for the drifting gunpowder smoke, the desolate forest and the pungent smell of blood, who would know that many people had shed their blood here? Many lives were left here forever?

  "Unload the goods for the farmer. The farmer, No. 16 and No. 17 will stay here to keep watch. The rest of you follow me to charge forward and sweep the battlefield!" the captain commanded loudly.

  Sweeping the battlefield is just giving all the enemies who are still alive an extra shot!

  The bird man will continue to throw the safe at the farmer, the black bear finally realized that I was still empty-handed, so he also threw my SG552 at me, and then carefully moved with others towards where the enemy was hiding. The scorpion tail looked at Jin Zhijun and quickly ran to another place on the ground and hid.

  Snipers are always cool and calm, if they're not, they'll end up like Kim Ji-hoon now.

  The farmer took over the password box and quickly lay down in my original hiding place, replacing a new magazine for his rifle, holding up the gun and staring carefully at the front.

  I opened the safety of the SG552 in my hand, pulled up the bolt and put it aside. Then I picked up Kim Ji-hoon's sniper rifle that had fallen to one side and placed it on the other side. After that, with both hands gently supporting Kim Ji-hoon's head on my lap, making him more comfortable.

  Looking at my worried face, Kim Jee-joon grinned and comforted me: "I'm fine, don't worry, it's just two broken ribs, no big deal! Now I've learned a good lesson, if the instructor finds out, he'll kill me...!"

  I smiled wryly, feeling a pang of sadness in my heart. Before my eyes appeared the scenes of me and Kim Ji-hoon training together - the two figures practicing under the scorching sun on the savannahs of Africa, and that instructor who made us grit our teeth in hatred. I wiped away the blood from the corner of Kim Ji-hoon's mouth, clenched my teeth and vowed: "16, don't worry, even if I die, I'll carry you back!"

  "Thank you, good brother!" Kim Ji-joon raised his right hand.

  I grasped tightly and said: "Good brother!"

  I was just about to say something else when a faint rustling sound came from behind, it was the sound of a branch buried under the snow being trampled! There's someone behind us!

  Almost at the same time, I and the farmer turned around simultaneously. As we turned around, the farmer raised his rifle in hand, while I quickly picked up the SG552 that was on the ground. Just as I had just turned around, my fingers hadn't even touched the trigger yet, when a black shadow rapidly shot towards my head. I was shocked and quickly tilted my head to the side, the black shadow whizzing past my forehead with a whooshing sound, lodging itself into a nearby tree trunk with a loud thud, sending chills down my spine once again.

  However, a dull thud suddenly came from behind, and I subconsciously turned my head to see that the farmer was already lying on his back on the rock, with a black crossbow bolt stuck in his neck, and fresh blood slowly seeping out of the wound. The farmer...

  The black shadow just now was a crossbow arrow!

  No!

  A roar of anger rose up from deep within me. Before I could think twice, I swiftly turned my head and raised the SG552 in my hand.

  Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

  Just as I turned my head, a black shadow rushed towards me and pressed me heavily to the ground. The SG552 in my hand was also thrown aside. Before I could react, a pair of large hands had tightly grasped my neck, and my body was also pressed heavily to the ground, unable to move.
