Chapter 63 Crossing the River (Part 2)

  When the sun shines through the clouds, rising slowly from the horizon, its rays gradually covering the entire earth, as we gaze at the sun, another night has passed, and with this passing of the night, some people are joyful while others are worried.

  After this night, some people will survive the three-day selection period and then enter the gate of T5.

  After this night, some people will pack up and return to where they came from.

  Yang Xian and Tan Hongzhong, Lei Haolin sat in the room, inside the room were people who had been eliminated, they already knew their fate, no one wanted to speak, thinking they were the elite of the original team, did not expect the first level but did not pass. Lei Haolin's marine corps camouflage was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

  "I hope he can hold on," said Tan Hongzhong.

  "But I feel a bit strange," said Yang Xian.

  "What's weird?" Leah turned her head around.

  "He will come," said Yang Xian.

  "He will certainly come, otherwise how would he know if he can make it?" Tan Hongzhong said.

  Yang Xian didn't say anything else, a kind of trust in Xiao Lie was born in his heart. Yang Xian felt that he couldn't just do this, he must have something else to do.

  In the three-day unlimited pursuit action, those who were caught were of course unfortunate, but those who were not caught were not much better off. Whether in the sky or on the ground, perhaps a pursuer was hiding in the water source they found. Some people were excited to find a water source and just as they squatted down to scoop up the water, someone suddenly jumped out of the water, scaring those who didn't understand what was happening.

  "Didn't find him? Over." He Shaokun asked over the satellite phone.

  "We looked for him all night outside yesterday, but couldn't find him. The mountain area had frost last night, and we did pick up a few people, but didn't find him," said Pei Dongnan.

  "Come back, there are three more hours, come back and refuel, there's another mission. Finished."

  "Understood, over."

  Pei Dongnan returned to the base and drove the car to the oil depot before going to report to He Shaokun.

  Although it was only three days, for the selected team members, they had to undergo the greatest test in both spirit and physical strength. Without any extra cold-proof conditions, some team members even caught a cold at night, and without food, their physical strength was greatly consumed. Once they caught a cold, their physical strength would plummet, making it easy to develop severe colds. Due to the mountainous area being a high-cold dry region with scarce water sources, if not treated in time, catching a cold could easily lead to acute pulmonary edema, posing a threat to life. Some team members had no choice but to give up when they couldn't move due to illness, and now many patients are lying in the medical station at the base.

  "What's going on, that little guy? We can't find him no matter how hard we look. Last night I used five high-power thermal imaging cameras and drones, but still couldn't detect him. Is he able to dig into the ground or something?" asked Pei Dongnan.

  "I've been thinking about this too, and the drone patrolling back and forth near the riverbed didn't find him either. This kid is getting more and more interesting. There are still two hours before we pick people up." He Shaokun said.

  A T5 stood upright at the entrance, his eyes fixed straight ahead. If you say he only looked ahead, that would be wrong. Because his ears were paying attention to all directions. He heard a footstep coming towards him from the direction of the garage, which should be someone on duty outside. As the footsteps got closer and closer, he glanced sideways, it was indeed someone on duty outside. The comrade's clothes were dirty, his head hung low, with a dejected look. It is said that someone on duty outside was actually knocked down by a new recruit, could it be this guy?

  "Halt! Password!" The sentry shouted as he saw his comrade on duty approaching.

  "Huh? Password? Isn't it changed every day? I didn't come back yesterday, and today I forgot to ask what it is." the field worker said.

  The sentry suddenly felt that something was wrong, although the outsider said so too, the password shouldn't be changed once a day, sometimes it would be changed several times a day, but he didn't think where the problem was when the outsider's body suddenly leaned forward. The sentry instinctively reached for his gun, but the opponent was faster than him, and before he could even draw his gun, the opponent had already pressed the muzzle against his chest.

  "Sorry, you're already dead." The man outside held a dagger and drew it across his neck.

  "I understand," said the sentinel. If this was a reconnaissance mission, he had indeed already fallen in battle. But his eyes still showed a hint of unwillingness.

  Xiao Lie saw that the sentinel acknowledged his defeat, so he didn't bother him and started searching for the key on his body. The sentinel looked at him lazily, with an incredulous expression in his eyes.

  When Yang Xian heard a strange noise outside, he heard the sound of the door lock turning, and then the door opened.

  I'm back.

  The door opened, and a T5 came in at the entrance. He looked at Yang Xian and said that for a moment, Yang Xian had not reacted yet. Instead, it was Lei Hao Lin who suddenly recognized Xiao Lie, and his eyes showed excitement. He elbowed Tan Hongzhong beside him with his elbow.

  "Xiao Lie!"

  Yang Xian exclaimed in surprise.

  "Shh! Let's hurry." Xiao Lie said in a low voice.

  "We can't just leave like this. If we go out like this, before we even get out the door, we'll be completely defeated." Lei Hao Lin said.

  Tan Hongzhong beside him also nodded, the whole house of prisoners did not move, because Lei Hao said was a fact, because they had no weapons on them, and secondly, after seeing the powerful military force of T5, although this base is not large, but they can absolutely wipe out these newbies. Don't look at the base without any patrol soldiers, but those ubiquitous sentries make people defenseless. Although they didn't know how Xiao Lie cheated those sentries, at least he was now dressed exactly like a T5 soldier, and if these twenty or so military personnel with different uniforms went out of this door, then the consequences would be unpredictable.

  "There's only half an hour left, if we can't get out, then we'll be eliminated, but to get out, we must succeed. I have a plan," said Lei Hao Lin.

  "You said," Xiao Lie said.

  He Shaokun glanced at his watch, and there were still fifteen minutes before the end of the assessment. Some soldiers who had not been caught in this survival training were secretly celebrating in some unknown corners. As long as they held on for the last fifteen minutes, opening a signal flare would be considered a success. Although this assessment did not provide a target, nor was it required to enter enemy territory for reconnaissance, this made people unadapted. Soldiers exist for their goals on the battlefield. Once soldiers lose their goals on the battlefield, they will become like headless flies, easily confused and killed.

  In these three days, no one knew where to go or where it was safe. Every place could be an ambush, and the pursuing soldiers behind them might appear at any moment, perhaps when they were most exhausted and had just closed their eyes. Everyone felt that those T5s were like devils, not needing rest, as if they never got tired. Once targeted by them, there seemed to be no choice but to surrender and be captured. They haunted everyone's backsides like a nightmare, fortunately, all this was about to end.

  Although the surviving newbies were very happy, there were still some people who were not happy, such as Pei Dongnan. This time he lost a lot of face. He led his team out and someone got killed. It's probably the first time since T5 was established. After this incident spread, it seems that his face has been lost. Although the soldiers in the special forces have extremely strong psychological quality, it doesn't mean they don't care about their reputation.

  He Shaokun glanced at his watch, still ten minutes left. Suddenly, the corner of his eye caught a flash of light, although it was like an unobtrusive lamp in the daytime, but he did catch it, and that position seemed to have no one. He Shaokun thought, but he quickly reacted, not quite right, that's not our people, although there was no reason, but he believed his intuition, a kind of sixth sense unique to soldiers rose from the bottom of his heart, he immediately made a fake move, then shouted: "Take cover!"

  When he finished speaking, he felt as if something had struck his chest, and a burst of red smoke suddenly erupted from the smoke bomb on his body. At that moment, He Shaokun had an illusion that he was actually being sniped? Actually being sniped? As he stood there in a daze, the T5 next to him seemed to have been poked in the butt with a burning fork, then found cover and fired back.

  He Shaokun suddenly remembered Xiao Lie, there was no reason why, here he only recognized himself, and He Shaokun also believed that Xiao Ran could do so, although he had never stayed in the reconnaissance company for a day.

  Seeing the bullets flying towards him, Xiao Lie didn't expect his opponent's reaction to be so quick. In an instant, they had found him, and it felt like he had just poked a hornet's nest. Before he could even run, they were already catching up to him. Although Xiao Lie had managed to get the upper hand, he was still lacking in combat experience. When he faced off against T5, he realized that he was far outmatched. He thought he had found a good spot where he could retreat and counterattack, but he didn't expect his opponent to discover his position so quickly. They immediately made arrangements and sealed off all his escape routes. Xiao Lie was left with no choice but to crouch behind the stone railing, not daring to move, as the rubber bullets whizzed past his head.

  "Fight on, we're up!" Lei Hao Lin saw that Xiao Lie had really completed his task of ambushing the commander, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. He immediately rushed out.
