Chapter 58: The Great Wind Rises (1)

  Xiao Lie didn't dare to stop his footsteps, he kept running non-stop, as if he had returned to the scene of his youth in Taoyuan. He threw off Xiao Yang and ran forward alone without direction or purpose, with only a sense of unwillingness. It was as if he heard Xiao Yang's voice behind him, telling him to run.

  Past events suddenly flooded his mind, as if he saw Xiao Yang being caught again. Xiao Lie immediately tensed up, and Xiao Yang, who was being pressed down, loudly shouted to Xiao Lie: "Run quickly! Run quickly!"

  Xiao Lie really wanted to go back and save his brother, but when he saw the other middle-aged man rushing towards him, all his thoughts changed in an instant to just wanting to escape. He thought it was because of Taozi that they had come to catch him and Xiao Yang. So while running, Xiao Lie threw each peach to the ground one by one, crying and shouting:

  "Leave me alone, leave me alone, I'll return everything to you."

  "I used to abandon people in the past, but now I won't abandon anyone again." Xiao Lie said to himself: "I will come back and find you all."

  Seeing the pursuing soldiers behind, he was at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, numbers and equipment. If he were to turn back and fight them now, there would only be one outcome: death. The only thing he could do was keep running, keep running.

  If he doesn't run, he will be caught. Once caught, the big gate of T5 will be closed for him. He doesn't want to think about whether there will still be opportunities or not. Many things in this world are unpredictable. Maybe by then, he won't have any chance at all. He thinks, this is his last and only chance, he must succeed, he must succeed.

  Although Xiao Lie ran very fast, the people behind him did not think of letting him go. They followed in his footsteps, chasing after him with all their might.

  Feeling the siege from all sides, rubber bullets came from different directions, hitting the ground, and he could even hear the whizzing sound of bullets flying past him. The splashing mud made it seem like rain was falling around Xiao Lie. On this isolated and helpless land, it was destined that he would either run or fight to the death alone. But at this moment, Xiao Lie smiled, he smiled, even if it meant fighting to the death, he had to escape first. However, his opponent was too slow.

  He found that those pursuing soldiers were not as big as his strides, nor as fast as his steps. They shouted and yelled, with great momentum, but so many people surprisingly didn't catch up with him, surprisingly didn't hit him.

  Although it was only a short half year, but in that half year, there was no one more crazy than him. He worried that he couldn't keep up with the pace of the wild battle team, and he was tougher on himself than anyone else. Even if it was just a simple action, he would practice it over and over again, even when others were resting, he would run around in the mountains with his whole body loaded. Running uphill is different from running on flat ground, not only do you need to pay attention to your balance, but also have good physical strength. Everyone has experienced the taste of going uphill, so running five kilometers uphill and five kilometers on flat ground are two completely different levels of physical demands.

  Xiao Lie didn't return fire, he just bent down and tried to minimize his body's exposure to the bullets, then sprinted at high speed.

  Xiao Lie originally thought he would be afraid, then hide in a place and let the rest of the day pass. But at that moment, somewhere in his body seemed to fill with the power of victory, now he is escaping, but he wants to win even more. This was originally an unfair competition, they had no skills, no food or water, while the other side was well-equipped, the sky and earth were their people, not only in physical strength, equipment, and they were on a completely different level, moreover, they could call for reinforcements at any time, is this kind of war fair?

  Yes, only by living can one survive. But what is a soldier's nature? A soldier's nature is to attack! Attack! And attack again!

  At that moment, a fighting spirit surged up his chest. He wanted to fight them and win.

  "Whether it's a personal solo battle or a small unit's raid, all attacks are aimed at winning. War is an extension of politics, when you can't defeat the enemy on the negotiating table, use war to strike them down. The goal of war is to crush the enemy's morale. To crush their morale, first crush their confidence. Force them to expend more energy on vigilance and self-protection...". Xiao Lie remembered a passage he read in a book, although it was impossible for him to receive military training knowledge in his destroyed world, but he could recognize characters, no one taught him, he could just read books.

  So when facing a large group that thinks victory is within sight, using the speed of a charge to pursue recklessly. What is the most bizarre, the most unimaginable, and the most unexpected tactic?

  Wow!

  Wow!

  While running, Xiao Ran suddenly fired a shot. Before the people behind him could understand what was happening, two soldiers discovered that red smoke had risen from their bodies. The red smoke indicating death gently floated up in the sunlight and drifted away. The two men stopped in disbelief to check if the smoke bombs on them were malfunctioning.

  But another gunshot interrupted their thoughts, and the third "killed" soldier appeared. At this time, the soldiers were shocked in their hearts. Just a dozen or so people chasing one person, the bullets didn't even touch anyone else's side, but the opponent hit three people with three casual shots while running quickly. What does this mean? Suddenly everyone realized that they had encountered a tough nut today. Not to mention where the opponent got the gun from, but now this former prey who was being chased turned around and killed them back.

  Those who did not see this scene would absolutely not believe that a person could burst out with such a fierce killing aura when falling into desperation, and one's attack made people feel as if the opponent was a pack of armed wolves charging.

  Xiao Lie had no idea what mobile assault tactics were. He was able to shoot while moving only because of a casual remark made by Wei Qidong one day:

  "You're always lying there shooting, sometimes even setting up a moving target. If you were to encounter a large group of enemies, would they let you lie there and shoot at them? Wouldn't you be able to move on the battlefield when killing the enemy?"

  Because of this sentence, Xiao Lie thought of a key point. If he were really on the battlefield, the enemy wouldn't wait for him to shoot, and he couldn't just stay there shooting at the enemy either. If that were the case, he'd probably become a martyr on the first day. Without any data or guidance from others, he started practicing moving while shooting at targets. At first, his results were terrible - not one of 300 bullets hit the target. But this didn't matter to Xiao Lie, because his biggest advantage over the wild battle team was that he had an unlimited supply of bullets, and no one competed with him or controlled him. His squad leader wouldn't, and neither would his company commander. Many people still hoped he'd practice more, maybe by the end of the year, when the military sports competition came around, he could finally get rid of his "old" title.

  Dada...

  When the gunfire sounded again, no one would have realized that they were facing a new recruit who had been enlisted for less than a year and was part of the logistics department. Many people think of soldiers raising pigs and growing vegetables when it comes to the logistics department. But now Xiao Ran is like a seasoned veteran, shooting so accurately and quickly. Just as some people were looking for cover, they were already taken out.

  "How dare you! I've never been treated like this before! Give me a good beating!"

  A platoon leader who led the team was furious. As a platoon leader of a reconnaissance company in a field army, he had shown exceptional military quality since his rookie days and had undergone even stricter training than regular field troops. They indeed had their own proud capital, but today they were beaten to the point of being unable to fight back, and as a soldier with blood, it was strange if he didn't get angry.

  The class monitor had just finished speaking when he found that Xiao Lie, who was still fuming with rage and seemed determined to fight them to the death, suddenly turned around and ran away. The speed at which he fled in disarray would have made even a rabbit feel ashamed.

  Everyone was stunned for over ten seconds before they came to their senses. As they followed Xiao Lie's footsteps over the hill, they found that he had drilled into a forest of moderate size.

  "Chase! Chase him! We must catch him!" The class leader was furious. If this one person were to escape in front of so many people, he would probably be laughed at for a very long time.

  After hearing the order, twelve soldiers remained with him and rushed into the forest together, and a pursuit battle officially began.

  The drones cruising in the sky transmitted the scene that had just occurred to the command center, where He Shaojun and his combat advisor Pei Dongnan were watching with great interest.

  "If it weren't for you telling me that Xiao Lie is a new recruit, I really wouldn't have believed his skills are so formidable," said Pei Dongnan.

  "The more capable people are often forced out, everyone has a certain degree of laziness, and people are different, so the laziness is also different. But Xiao Ran is an exception, when he joined the army, it was destined that he would be more diligent than anyone else, and those who can endure hardships will often bring us the greatest surprises. If he was previously assigned to destroy because of his remarks about family ties being greater than military affairs, then in the end someone will understand that a country's army is more deeply emotional towards its own family, when a strong enemy attacks, such an army will burst out with unstoppable power. A gold coin will shine wherever it is. He has paid more sweat than anyone else, so it's not surprising that he has achieved more than anyone else." He Shaokun said.

  "It seems you have great confidence in him?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Shall we send our people to try?"

  "Don't be discouraged when the time comes." He Shaojun said, "He has already possessed some skills of a special soldier, although his military skills are still lacking in many ways, but he can get through it."

  There was no formation, no vanguard or rearguard. In this not-so-large forest with dense grass and thorns, the squad leader and his twelve scouts were searching in a line. Xiao Lie didn't know that his first shot had already taken out a squad leader, which gave those soldiers an urge to skin him alive. Although Xiao Lie's sudden counterattack had thrown the scouts into chaos for a moment, and he had also hit several people. The remaining scouts were instead stirred up by this and their bloodlust was piqued.
