Volume 1: The Fierce Tiger Leaves Its Leash Chapter 22: Roaring and Fiery (Part 1)

  Although Gu Weimin was extremely painful, Ling Tianxiang's generous move made Mai Di De and others feel grateful. With the help of other team members, the spare ammunition and supplies on the two helicopters were quickly unloaded, and Mai Di De also hurriedly found a group of resistance organization personnel to transport the supplies out of the town.

  "Captain Gu, it's nothing serious, anyway, Tianxiang said he deducted it from his allowance."

  "He's just a waste of space, that little bit of skill is useless now and he's even brought a burden. " Gu Weimin spat on the ground, "Quickly write it all down, let this kid work for free for ten years of hard labor, we can also vent our anger!"

  Gu Weimin was just talking big, he already knew that Ling Tianxiang and Zhou Guohui's relationship was not ordinary, so it was impossible to make things difficult for Ling Tianxiang over this small matter. Anyway, the consumption of combat reports would be decided by Gu Weimin himself. Moreover, Gu Weimin did not know that Ling Tianxiang had a father who was the richest man in the entire Republic, let alone two helicopters full of military supplies, even if it were two whole ships of military supplies, it would still be no problem for Ling Tianxiang.

  After unloading the cargo, one helicopter can take away all the people. If two helicopters share the load, they can fly faster. Ling Tianxiang was the second to board the helicopter, and this time Gu Weimin personally followed behind him, preventing this kid from going crazy and slipping away again.

  The helicopter took off, turned in mid-air and sped eastward. On the ground, Maidi De and dozens of others waved goodbye to Ling Tianxiang. Ling Tianxiang held tightly onto the frail figure, from start to finish, Yijisi never left him nor looked back at her relatives, but instead shrank tightly into his embrace, as if only there could she find safety and warmth.

  After flying out of the town, Ling Tianxiang sat up straight and saw Gu Weimin sitting opposite him, and he forced a smile.

  "Laugh? You little brat can still laugh, go back and wait for me to deal with you!"

  "Captain Gu, I know, I know, squatting in a small black room, it's not like I haven't done it before." When sending out the distress signal, Ling Tianxiang knew that he wouldn't have good days after returning this time.

  "You little scamp seems to have become a regular at the black jail, that's letting you off easy. Do you know how big of a mess you've gotten yourself into this time?"

  Ling Tianxiang shrugged and leaned against the helicopter's cabin door. "What's the big deal, anyway? I didn't leave any handles behind, so what if the US military wants to come after me?"

  "Damn it, you little brat has really gained some experience, don't you think my words are also problematic?" Gu Weimin's anger flared up at once.

  "Captain Gu, how dare I doubt you? You are our spiritual leader."

  "It's only been a few days and he's already spouting nonsense!" Gu Weimin raised his hand, then put it down again, helplessly sighing and shaking his head.

  Ling Tianxiang was still smiling and about to say something when a rapidly moving point of light in the eastern sky caught his attention, and Gu Weimin also noticed it at the same time.

  "Missile!" The two men shouted almost simultaneously.

  The flames are the tail flames ejected by the missile's engine, and the target of the missile is Buzai Jabba.

  "Fly back quickly!"

  "You're crazy!" Gu Weimin grabbed Ling Tianxiang, and the team member sitting next to Ling also grabbed him. Gu Weimin stretched out to pat the captain's shoulder. "Speed up, the faster the better!"

  "No, we have to go back, Captain..." Ling Tianxiang struggled to get up, but the cabin space was too narrow, and he was still holding Yige Si, so he couldn't exert any strength.

  The missile accurately hit the house where Ling Tianxiang was previously located, and the warhead loaded with hundreds of kilograms of explosives instantly destroyed all buildings within a radius of 100 meters. Within this range, people exposed to the outside were not spared, and Mai Di De and others who had just sent off Ling Tianxiang did not have time to evacuate. After the intense explosion flash, black smoke rose into the night sky, and large fires broke out on the ground. Ling Tianxiang even thought he heard the cries of injured residents, but this was just his illusion, as the noise from the helicopter made the explosion sound very vague, covering up other sounds.

  "Captain Gu, we should go rescue them, they..."

  "Snap out of it!" Gu Weimin slapped Ling Tianxiang, "Right now, there are at least several reconnaissance satellites monitoring us from above, and who knows how many unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. If we don't withdraw quickly, do you want to drag all of us, even our entire country, into the depths of war?"

  Ling Tianxiang closed his mouth, suppressing the sudden surge of sorrow. Although they had only been together for a few days, he had already regarded Maidede as his most intimate comrade-in-arms, just like he would not give up on Wei Daming. He did not want to abandon this newly recognized comrade either, but the current situation simply did not allow him to take charge.

  As Ling Tianxiang slowly calmed down, Gu Weimin let the team members who were still holding onto Ling Tianxiang release their grip. He then lit a cigarette and placed it on Ling Tianxiang's lips. This time, Ling Tianxiang did not refuse, took it over and puffed heavily several times. With the help of the tobacco, he gradually calmed down, his clenched fists slowly relaxing.

  "Tianxiang, I understand your idea, but you also need to think about us, your comrades, and the country you vowed to defend." Gu Weimin leaned against the cabin wall. "The commotion you've caused this time is already big enough, even Zhou Zong personally came to the front line, who knows how many people are worried about this matter. Now, the most important thing is for you to return safely and not have any more accidents!"

  "Captain Gu..." Ling Tianxiang raised his head, "I have a request."

  Gu Weimin's gaze lingered on Ling Tianxiang for a moment, and after confirming that Ling Tianxiang had controlled his emotions, he nodded slightly.

  "When I was locked in the little black house, she took care of me." Ling Tianxiang patted the girl's shoulder, "Her name is Yixi, she saved me and Wei Daming, and her parents..."

  "I know, I've started listening to you." Gu Weimin let out a breath of air. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Yige's, is there anything else you'd like to request?"

  "When I'm locked in the little black house, can you give me a radio?"

  "You think you're so great! You think that's something, a presidential suite at a five-star hotel? Do you want room service?"

  Both of them burst out laughing, and the atmosphere relaxed. Ling Tianxiang also knew in his heart that even if they returned now, they couldn't save Mai Di De and others, and as Gu Weimin said, returning to the base safely was the most important thing now. Chapter 22: Roar! (Part 1)
