Chapter Two Made Me Stay

  Inside the cave, the afterglow of sunset pierced through the dense grass and shot in. Yun Mochou and others weakly leaned against the wall inside the cave, Du Yan's two eyes stared blankly at his trembling hands, panting heavily in his mouth.

  One minute ago, he sent a message through the walkie-talkie again, but unfortunately, the response was still an empty current sound. He was somewhat discouraged and pulled down the walkie-talkie on his shoulder, smashing it hard against the wall, and the walkie-talkie suddenly became fragmented.

  No one stopped him, because at this time, when the ammunition could no longer keep up and the enemy behind was getting closer and more numerous, and at this time, it was impossible to contact reinforcements.

  There are only two possibilities, one is that the wolf head who had been waiting for them at the original withdrawal point was discovered and killed by the enemy, and the hard-won bullet chip was taken away by the enemy again.

  There's another possibility, one that every soldier is reluctant to think about: it's because of this mission, the soldiers in the third squad knew and understood too much, so much that a country has become fearful and on guard. The chip was recovered, and the traitors received their due punishment.

  As soon as the documents were copied onto a portable computer, Liu Yu personally destroyed the originals. However, they also found out that these traitorous scientists were all giants in their respective fields in China, and behind them stood powerful organizations that even the country had to be wary of. These organizations might prioritize national interests and abandon pursuing the country's actions, but they would never let go of the third squad that carried out the task. Perhaps it was because of this that they were ruthlessly abandoned by the country.

  Although everyone was unwilling to think about it, this was the only result that could be thought of. This made everyone's heart suddenly sink, and some suffocating silence lasted for five minutes before being broken.

  "Snow Wolf, got any more smokes?" Night Wolf, the second blaster of the third squad, stretched out his hand and made a smoking gesture with his index and middle fingers, asking Yun Mochou.

  "Hmm... got it!" After a moment of stunned silence, Yun Moyu lowered his head and searched his body for half a day. Suddenly remembering that the last pack of Red Tower Mountain had been given to the Ghost Wolf, he couldn't help but smile wryly and apologize to Night Wolf: "Originally, there was still one pack of Red Tower Mountain left, but it was given to the Ghost Wolf, so... none left." Just as he finished speaking, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He hastily sat up, took off his Jungle Combat Boots, which were covered in a mixture of mud and grass paste, and from the insole's hidden compartment, pulled out a sealed plastic bag. As everyone swallowed their saliva and gazed at him with hungry wolf-like eyes, a slightly bent cigarette lay inside, and those with sharp eyes could even tell that it was a domestically-supplied Chinese cigarette.

  He ignored Yun Mochou's silly smile, and with a swift movement, the lone wolf snatched the sealed bag from Yun Mochou's hand. He roughly tore open the package, like ripping off a woman's last layer of underwear, and pulled out a cigarette to take a deep sniff at the tip. He made a look of intoxication. He didn't bother to investigate whether this cigarette, which had been in his shoe for three days and nights after high-intensity exercise, would smell unbearable. What he needed now was spiritual comfort and physical exhaustion. There were dozens of ways to alleviate them, but once mental fatigue invaded their brains, they might leave the second half of their lives in this desolate jungle due to a slightly slower reaction.

  Taking the metal lighter from Liu Yuan, Zhang Shi-xiong carefully lit what might be their last Special Supply Chinese cigarette. He took a deep drag, his face filled with intoxication, as if reluctant to exhale the residual smoke that had left all its harmful substances in his lungs.

  He took a drag, inhaling about one-tenth of it, and the others winced in pain. With his keen senses, he felt that this kid was going to take another drag. Before he could lift his arm again, Liu Yuan rushed over, snatched the cigarette, and took a deep drag. He didn't rush to exhale but closed his eyes, letting the smoke linger in his lungs for thirty seconds before slowly exhaling. Yun Mochou watched with anticipation as the cigarette was passed from person to person, and when only half of it was left, it was finally his turn.

  Xin Teng gazed at the cigarette butt that was more than half gone, and Yun Qi shook his head with a bitter smile.

  Before he could bring the cigarette to his mouth, the sound of hunting dogs barking came from outside the cave. It was always at the most critical moment that the opposing character would appear. He took a deep drag, then threw the cigarette butt, which had no white smoke left, to the ground without stepping on it to extinguish it, and picked up his gun to tidy up his equipment, waiting for Liu Yuan's command.

  "Hear the call, the enemy is not far from us, Lone Wolf!" Liu Yuan shouted.

  "Arrived!" Lone Wolf shouted, carrying a sniper rifle and moving to Liu's side to await further orders.

  "Go take out the enemy's search dogs or we'll have a hard time getting away." Liu Yuan ordered.

  "Yes!" After saying that, the one-eyed wolf glanced at everyone, gently stroked the M14 American sniper rifle in his arms, and walked out of the cave with his head down.

  The rest of the people followed behind Liu Yuan, half squatting and waiting for the frontmost Liu Yuan to give the next action command.

  "Bang... Bang!" After two dull and powerful gunshots, Lone Wolf made a finishing gesture outside the cave, Liu Yuan made a following gesture to those behind him, and rushed out of the cave first.

  The third squad now has only five people left, and the ammunition is almost exhausted. Everyone had just checked their ammunition, except for Yunmou Yu, who still had three complete rifle clips, while everyone else, including Liu Yuan, was left with only one last complete clip besides the one currently in use on their guns. Originally, they had planned to complete this mission within two days, and each person had brought three days' worth of ammunition, but now it's already the fourth day, and they're still sniping at more and more enemies in this damn jungle.

  It was another round of pursuit, and Ye Lang finished all the bullets in his pistol first. He drew out his tiger-tooth dagger, looked up at Liu Yuan and said, "Liu Da, let me make some contributions to my brothers next."

  Liu Yuandings gaze was fixed on the warrior who had followed him for eight years, and with a tinge of reluctance yet helplessness, he said: "Take care!" With a ruthless turn, he faced the other three and said: "Time is short, let's go!"

  As the third squad of only four people walked further and further away, Night Wolf took a deep breath, looked around cautiously, then bit his dagger between his teeth and climbed up a tall and dense tropical bush, waiting quietly for the enemy's arrival.

  Before long, a group of soldiers with towels wrapped around their heads and wearing khaki uniforms appeared in the line of sight of the wolf. They were holding INSAS 5.56mm assault rifles, and some mercenaries wearing camouflage uniforms from various countries followed behind these monkey country soldiers. Although they didn't have uniform military attire, Night Wolf could tell at a glance that it was these mercenaries who had survived countless wars that posed a real threat to Assault Wolf. These men were not holding unified equipment; instead, they chose their own preferred gear, including some of the world's most commonly used weapons, such as the AK47, M4A1, and G36.

  The Night Wolf slowly removed the last high-explosive grenade from his waist, gently pulled out the detonator and tightly gripped it in his hand. He wanted to perish together with the enemies below. His target was not the Monkey Kingdom soldiers who had already passed by - those savage monkeys were not even within his consideration range. What he was after was the mercenary army closely following behind.

  "Boom!......"

  A loud explosion made Liu Yuan and his three companions, who were already a kilometer away, stop in their tracks and turn back to gaze deeply at the place where the explosion had occurred. This explosion was all too familiar to them; it was the sound of a domestically-made 82-2 high-explosive grenade detonating, with a blast radius of eight meters that would be enough to make Night Wolf rich.

  Yun Moyu's lips were tightly pursed, he knew that when he and Ye Lang brushed past each other, he had already pulled out a full clip wanting to hand it over to Ye Lang, but was rejected with a smile. Watching his comrade fall together with the enemy, not even a single intact piece of clothing could be found, Yun Moyu's eyes turned cold, suddenly an idea appeared in his mind.

  Perhaps sensing Yun Mo Yu's difference, Liu Yuan turned his head and took a look, saying softly: "Your father made me promise before you came out to perform this task that I must bring you back."

  Yun Moyu seemed to have not heard, his eyes still firmly gazing in the direction of Night Wolf's sacrifice. His father was the highest commander of this unknown special forces unit: General Yun Shaonan! A general placed in any military district would be a commanding presence, but this old man had been assigned to lead the less-than-2,000-strong Assault Wolf Special Forces Unit. In other units, an officer overseeing these soldiers would at most be considered a senior colonel, but in Assault Wolf, he was not only the highest commander of the unit but also the principal of these big kids, because Assault Wolf Special Forces had another name that sent shivers down people's spines: The Butcher's Hunting School.

  Yun Moyu began receiving a series of training that was extremely inconsistent with his age at the age of seven: physical strength! Hand-to-hand combat! Shooting! Reconnaissance! Anti-reconnaissance! From a young age, Yun Moyu had practiced good kung fu skills, from the army's free fighting and kickboxing to his father's tai chi and baguaquan. At the age of nine, he discovered that his mother, who seemed weak and gentle at ordinary times, was actually a successor of Chen Huashun's Wing Chun.

  Scene after scene flashed through Yun Moyu's mind, time passed second by second, and the pursuers could be vaguely seen appearing within visible range. No time to think, Yun Moyu said firmly to Liu Yuan: "I want to stay here!"

  "But..." Before Liu Yuan could finish, Yun Moyu smiled: "Liu Da! I have the most bullets, and my comprehensive military skills are the strongest!" His tone was filled with a hint of pride, and he had every right to be proud. In the third squad, he could leave the physically strongest Shan Lang Liu Yuan far behind by one and a half laps. He could make the sniper Du Yanwu dizzy with his shots. He could design landmines that were more hidden and sinister than those of Gui Lang. He could defeat the hand-to-hand combat expert Ye Lang in an instant, making him lose his ability to act quickly. With all this, he had already become the next potential successor of the Tui Kui Lang Special Forces.

  But such an expert had to stay behind to cover the withdrawal of the other three people.

  "Snow Wolf!" The big-tailed wolf, who had been silent all along, spoke up. He was the deputy captain of this team and also its vanguard. He looked at Yun Mochou, whose eyes were firm and unwavering, and sighed, saying: "Have you thought it through?"

  "Yes! I've made up my mind! Let me stay!" Yun Moyu said firmly.
