Chapter 70

  The snake warrior and his men were also seasoned veterans who had crawled through piles of dead bodies. He saw the intention of the other side, and gave an order over the radio. The artillerymen and machine gunners slowly removed their weapons and passed them up. This small movement was invisible in the sniper scope on a deep night. After the heavy weapons were passed to the top, a team of people took these heavy firepower and quietly walked away under the cover of the slope, planning to use dense heavy fire to annihilate the snipers. What they didn't expect was that there was also an ambush in this direction. Bang! Bang!... Bang! Liu Junhao's two light taps shattered the two skulls in front. But just as he did, the machine gun and rocket launcher behind him also fired up. Liu Junhao felt something was wrong and immediately rolled away from his shooting position. A large number of bullets mixed with two rockets came towards him, flattening the position where Liu Junhao had been lying by more than half a meter. Although he dodged in time, his clothes and body were also scratched by shrapnel, leaving wounds that looked serious but were actually not severe. The most serious injury was that his right ear was bleeding due to the massive explosion. A thick stream of blood flowed out from his ear. This type of ear bleeding had only one cause: a ruptured eardrum. It meant that his right ear would be deaf from now on. However, at this moment, Liu Junhao couldn't care about these injuries. He didn't even bother to wipe away the blood on his face. He gritted his teeth and stood up, shouting loudly: "I've lost my position! Come over and reinforce!"... Coughing, he shouted again, but the air flow was not smooth due to the explosion, causing him to cough. A mouthful of blood came up, and Liu Junhao only felt a salty taste in his mouth. He swallowed the blood and continued shouting.

  His words had just finished, and Shao Hui and Zhou Yan turned their guns around and rushed to reinforce them. But the soldiers were defeated like a mountain collapse. What's more, it was only a handful of people facing powerful enemies to defend a small hill. Shao Hui fought while changing positions, and the rifle in his hand had already changed two magazines. However, the enemy's bullets continued to pour over like a landslide. Zhao Zhenghao heard the sound of gunfire from afar and couldn't help but turn his head to look at it with concern. Wang Jianbin seemed not to care about the battle situation on that side and continued to walk forward while supporting Ma Hongbing. Zhao Zhenghao finally couldn't hold back his anger and asked loudly: "Do you have such a grudge against Shao Hui?" Wang Jianbin stopped in his tracks after hearing this: "Wearing these clothes and coming here, we will face death sooner or later. If not there, then here. Don't worry, if they catch up with us, I'll be the first to die here. When we meet again on the Yellow Spring Road, I'll smile and settle this lifelong feud with Shao Hui." Zhao Zhenghao was suddenly speechless, silently supporting Zhen Ni, and stepped forward, climbing upwards.

  Can't hold on anymore, retreat! Liu Junhao shouted with a face full of blood. At this time, the crowd on the hillside was getting restless. Zuo Ming again ordered them to continue lying down without any courtesy, just hold on for a bit longer, Zhao Zhenghao and his men haven't gone far yet. Shao Hui retreated with his rifle and replied while dodging the opponent's bullets.

  What? Liu Junhao didn't hear clearly.

  Hang in there a bit longer. Shao Hui told him loudly again.

  Oh, this time he heard it clearly.

  There is a certain degree of luck in war. A well-equipped mountain unit with heavy firepower can launch curved shots at the corner area. If the giant belly had such weapons, it would be easy to blow up Shao Hui and his four men and take down the mountain head. Fortunately, they didn't. They could only blindly send bullets and rockets upwards, hoping to kill people above. As soon as they caught fire, many casualties were caused, a passive situation that the giant belly troops had never experienced before. The confidence on the face of the war snake gradually disappeared, replaced by a fierce killing intent. The muscles on his face were tense, with multiple scars twisted and deformed, like curved centipedes hanging on his face, extremely terrifying.

  The summit finally couldn't hold on anymore. The four of them, including Shao Hui, were suppressed by the firepower and couldn't lift their heads. Rockets fell everywhere, exploding in all directions. No one knew where the next one would land. Retreat! Shao Hui loudly gave the order. The four of them shook off the stone dust and black soil from their heads, grabbed their rifles, and ran down the back of the mountain slope, chasing after Zhao Zhenghao and his men deep into the mountains. By the time the war snake climbed up to the summit, which was full of bullet holes, they only saw four black shadows fleeing in the moonlight, quickly disappearing from view. In just one encounter, they had lost so many people. The other side had only four people, yet they retreated with all their men intact. The war snake knew that this time's opponent was exceptionally strong and didn't dare to be arrogant again. He called for air support on the radio.

  There were no more experts, and the four of them made rapid progress. After climbing over another mountain peak, they had already caught up with Zhao Zhenghao. Both sides were unharmed, and everyone was delighted. Shao Hui, who was careful, noticed that Liu Junhao couldn't hear anything clearly. He thought it was because of the shock from the explosion earlier. He walked over to help Liu Junhao massage his ears to restore his hearing. But when he reached out, Shao Hui was shocked. He quickly pulled open Liu's ear and looked inside. Ah, it hurts! Liu Junhao cried out in pain. A stream of black blood flowed out from deep within his ear, where a scab had formed. Shao Hui patted Liu's head with a heavy heart: Brother, don't worry, you'll be fine soon. Liu Junhao nodded: It's nothing, just that rocket explosion made me dizzy and nauseous... I wonder if I'm pregnant? He had meant to joke and lighten the mood, but his words only made Shao Hui more distressed. He waved his hand for the team to continue moving forward. Quietly, he told Zhao Zhenghao: He's lost hearing in his right ear. Zhao Zhenghao was shocked. Looking at Liu Junhao, who seemed a bit tired, he said: I understand.

  After the sniper battle on the mountain slope, there was no one chasing behind them, and the situation had temporarily become much safer. However, the team members still did not dare to slow down their pace. Zhao Zhenghao identified the direction according to the starry sky and rushed towards the base of his own side. The vegetation here had been cut off by the locals for firewood, leaving it bald like a shaved head. But in the distance, on the mountain, vegetation could still be seen. The desolate environment made the team members feel cool and chilly. They could only lower their heads, grit their teeth, and continue to rush along the mountain road with the two experts.

  They were scared off by you and didn't dare to chase again? Zhao Zhenghao turned his head to look at the road behind them and asked.

  It's unlikely. They are very strong in combat. They won't just exchange blows once and leave. Shao Hui still has lingering fear from the previous battle.

  That was the stillness before dawn. Zhao Zhenghao said with profound meaning.
