Chapter 53: Code Name 28 (2)

  When he saw Yang Xian appear, Xiao Lie felt very surprised. For Yang Xian, Xiao Lie had extremely complicated feelings, but being able to meet an acquaintance in such a strange place was always a delightful thing. So he went forward and greeted him.

  Yang Xian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't feel surprised when he saw Xiao Lie, because Wu Minghui had already told him before.

  "You didn't disappoint me. Congratulations." Yang Xian said indifferently.

  Seeing Yang Xian like this, Xiao Lie didn't get angry. After experiencing many things, he also became more open-minded. Having a competitor isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it? During the time of Shuang Xi, because there was no competition, he felt quite unmotivated.

  "Yes, you're the same. We're rivals, why can't we be friends? When I was destroying the Lian's, I often thought of you, and later I felt that there was nothing wrong with you, except for being overly competitive, everything else is fine, but as a man, being competitive is a normal thing, so later on, I didn't consider you as a rival anymore. Do you know why?" Xiao Ran asked.

  Yang Xian shook his head.

  "Only the weak have rivals. Does the strong need a rival? The stronger your heart is, the stronger the world will be."

  If someone else said that, Yang Xian would probably be too lazy to bother with him, but coming from Xiao Lie's mouth, it was a completely different story.

  "Come on, my friend, my opponent." Yang Xian stretched out his hand and said.

  "Aren't you tired of arguing with people every day?" Xiao Lie said softly.

  "Uh-huh."

  Yang Xian felt something was off as soon as he finished speaking, and realized that Xiao Lie was actually trying to get a rise out of him. But the result still left Yang Xian feeling very satisfied.

  At noon, a T5 officer appeared on the playground, and everyone immediately gathered and stood at attention.

  "It's okay, I know you're gathered here. Lieutenant Colonel said: "There are people among you whose military rank is the same as mine or even higher, which makes me very unhappy. Everyone! Take off all your armbands and give them to me!"

  After the lieutenant colonel gave the order, everyone began tearing off their own armbands.

  "Everybody get on board!" The major shouted.

  Everyone started pushing towards the trucks behind them, and in less than two minutes, six trucks were packed to the brim. Then the tarpaulins were sealed tightly by people, and the vehicles set off.

  No one knew where the car was going, everyone just felt the car swaying back and forth, feeling extremely uncomfortable inside. After about three hours, the car finally stopped. Then the curtains opened.

  Before everyone had a chance to take in their surroundings, the assembly whistle blew and everyone began to fall into formation. It was still that major.

  "Everyone knows why they're here, so I won't waste words. I believe many of you have studied special forces materials and have decent physical and military qualities - otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here. What I want to say is that we're looking for the elite of the elite. Our principle for dealing with rookies like you is simple: we'll use every method to eliminate you. Let's leave a good impression first."

  The lieutenant colonel spoke up to this point, then paused for a moment after that, he swept his gaze over everyone, no one said anything, and no one looked around.

  "Next, I will give you three days. During these three days, each of you will have a signal transmitter. What is it for? It's for if someone can't take it during these three days, they can pull it open and then won't have to suffer afterwards. Three days later, when you pull open this signal transmitter, only then can you accept the subsequent training."

  The major finished speaking, and several T5 soldiers carrying a box of signal launchers distributed them one by one. Xiao Lie saw that these so-called grassroots T5 soldiers were at least junior lieutenants.

  "Alright, does anyone else have any questions?" the lieutenant colonel asked.

  "Report, why didn't you give us some food or at least some salt?" someone spoke out for everyone. To think that we've been chased for three days and nights without any food, and can't even get a good rest, this is just too much!

  "The question is good, and the answer is no," said the lieutenant colonel.

  Everyone was left speechless.

  "Report, why weren't we issued weapons?"

  Another person has spoken out the voice of everyone, in the mountainous area where nothing can be said for sure what kind of large wild beasts will appear, and the probability of encountering wolves here is also very high. If you encounter a pack of wolves, I'm afraid even the wolf-beating stick method won't work.

  "Good question," said the major, "because there are no arms for you."

  Everyone was speechless, now they knew it's best if they didn't have any problems of their own, because everyone else's problems weren't a problem at all.

  "Does anyone else have questions?" the lieutenant colonel asked.

  Everyone was silent.

  "Alright, it seems like everyone is fine now. Here, you don't need to know my name or codename. Because you rookies aren't worthy of knowing. Do you know why you're rookies? Why you're idiots? Seeing how idiotic you all are, I can kindly tell you one sentence that can change a person's fate, a very philosophical sentence: reasonable demands are training, unreasonable demands are tempering. Alright, give yourselves ten minutes to get to that mountain peak. If you can hold out, then you have some skill. The game will start in ten minutes. Dismissed."

  Everyone, upon receiving the order to disperse, ran towards the hill that the captain had pointed out. The hill was not high, about 50 meters or so. When everyone reached the top of the hill, they sadly discovered that it was all sand and rocks. Not to mention building any fortifications, even an iron shovel couldn't dig a hole in it.

  "Let's go." Xiao Lie said to Yang Xian.

  "Why?" Yang Xian asked in puzzlement.

  "Didn't you hear that potato say he's going to play with us for three days? Now it's just beginning, we have nothing, and it's strange if we can hold on here. If we stay here for a minute without moving, they can wipe us out completely. Now if there's no ability, then there's no ability, leaving the green hills intact, not afraid of having no firewood to burn. Being alive is what allows us to fight." Xiao Lie said.

  "Hey! I'm telling you, comrade, you're too talented, this makes me want to get it too. Gao, you said it so right. I also think we'd better not listen to him completely, we have to leave. My name is Tan Hongzhong, 141st Division." Tan Hongzhong said with familiarity.

  "My name is Xiao Lie, I'm from Class A."

  "My name is Yang Xian, and I am also a disciple of Master A."

  "Then let's go." Tan Hongzhong said.

  Yang Xian followed the two of them without hesitation and ran to the other side of the mountain. Seeing their movements, some people thought for a moment, as if they had understood something, and then also ran away. On the other hand, another group showed disdainful eyes towards those who had run away, put down all their luggage, and set up a simple camp.

  "Take down the names of those three people who ran first."

  The lieutenant colonel said to someone beside him three kilometers away from the mountain head.

  Two minutes had just passed, and the people who stayed on the mountain were stunned. In their eyes appeared five tanks and six assault vehicles, with 12.7mm heavy machine guns mounted on the assault vehicles. When they saw the tank's turret start to adjust its firing coordinates, the people left behind no longer had any intention of being heroes, then picked up their luggage and ran like rabbits.

  Rumble!

  Xiao Lie heard the sound of cannons, and when he turned to look, the mountain peak from earlier was now covered in cannon fire. Tan Hongzhong beside him had a calm expression, but everyone could see that those cannon fires were all real bullets. If someone had been on top of the mountain at that time, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Under such intense cannon fire, it would really be a case of death with no whole body left. Those who had held out in that place were shocked to the core. Although they had undergone live-fire exercises and seen drills before, they had never seen real cannonballs being used to bomb their own comrades. It was clear that those T5s did not consider themselves as part of their own group, or rather, they didn't even count as their fellow soldiers. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done things this way. For a moment, everyone knew that these T5s were really different from what they had thought. If they weren't wearing military uniforms with military flag labels on them, everyone would suspect that they had encountered the enemy.

  Seeing this scene, Xiao Lie ran even faster. Now that there were people behind him blocking the way, if those people were caught first, wouldn't he be in trouble? Because the three of them were the first batch of runners, the three of them lined up at the front of the entire escape team, and for a while, the team became a long snake-like shape.

  Before long, tanks and assault vehicles appeared at the back of the procession, and some slow runners were caught on the spot.

  "We can't keep running like this, they'll catch up with us soon. We need to think of a way." Tan Hongzhong said.

  "We need to separate from the people behind us, otherwise it will be really troublesome." Yang Xian said.

  "Everyone scatter and run! Scatter and run!" Xiao Lie suddenly stopped and stood on a rock shouting.

  Some people heard him say that, and after looking back, they understood what was going on. Some people immediately separated and ran in different directions. This can't be blamed on others for having to follow behind Xiao Lie's trio, because the mountain path only had one route, and there were no other roads. Xiao Lie saw that both sides were steep slopes, he ran forward for 300 meters before starting to run up the mountain. As long as they made it up the mountain, the tanks wouldn't be able to follow, at most they could only provide some artillery support from the top of the mountain, but by then its effect would also not have much significance.

  When everyone scattered and ran away, it was like a mountain full of running rabbits, so the T5s had to split up to chase them. As a result, some fish slipped through the net.

  Xiao Lie didn't know where he would run to, the destination was unclear, and the terrain in the mountainous area looked similar everywhere. If he wasn't careful, it was easy to get lost. But if he got lost, those pursuing soldiers wouldn't be much better off either. Moreover, there were places to hide in the mountains, as long as he chose correctly, then no matter how many pursuers there were, he wouldn't be afraid.
