Chapter 23 Joy Tonight

  After burying the corpse of the traitor, the members of the special forces group saw the eerie smile on Huo Yao's face again. Every time they saw this smile, Huo Yao must have thought of new ways to torture them with training. The members of the special forces group couldn't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies. They didn't know what kind of training was waiting for them next. Fortunately, Huo Yao seemed to be in a good mood today and only made everyone return to the camp in a fast cross-country manner.

  The members of the special forces team couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. This kind of physical training was already a piece of cake for them. Just as they were about to set off, Wang Xiaolong, who rarely spoke, called everyone together and whispered something with his back to the explosives. Yanzi and Zuo Caiyun occasionally turned their heads to glance at the explosives, while Dà Niú nodded at the explosives with a sly smile.

  A sense of being excluded by everyone made Huo Yan extremely displeased. He shouted in a depressed mood: "What are you doing? Get out, do you want to rebel?"

  "Hey, hey," said Big Cow with a smile. "We think it's time for a competition to see who can get back to camp first. You're participating too."

  This method of boosting everyone's competitive spirit is often used by Huo Yao. He thought they were going to gang up on him, but it turned out they just wanted him to join the competition as well. So Huo Yao smiled and said, "Alright, let's get started then."

  Wang Xiaolong said: "We don't have any rewards for every match, it's really boring. This time, let's give a penalty to the last place."

  Finally showing his true face? Fireworks thought to himself. But he wasn't afraid at all, at least Yanzi and Zuo Caiyun would take the fall for him, and the last one was absolutely not himself. He knew that the special forces team members had already thought of a way to punish them, so Fireworks asked very readily: "So how will you punish the last one?"

  The members of the special forces team said in unison: "He won't get a share of tonight's extra meal."

  "Let's get started then." Huoyao said, turning around and running away. They had discussed for half a day, there must be a way to deal with him. Huoyao wasn't that stupid after all, it was better to run first.

  The members of the special forces team were stunned, who had ever seen such a shameless instructor.

  Huoyao hadn't run far when he heard a loud scream from Zuo Caiyun. The others were shouting "Stop, don't run!" and the like. Huoyao wasn't going to fall for that; who would be stupid enough to stop? He ran forward again. But then he started to get worried - shouldn't Da Niu and the others have caught up by now? Why was there still no sign of them? Had something really happened? If everyone had really run into some trouble, and he was still desperately running towards the camp for the sake of the competition, it would be too unfair to everyone. Huoyao cursed under his breath "It's all because of these guys who are always causing trouble." He turned around and ran back in the direction they had come from.

  From a distance, he saw Wang Xiaohu limping and running in another direction. Huoyao's heart sank as he caught up with Wang Xiaohu and asked urgently: "What's going on? Where are the others?"

  Wang Xiaohu pointed ahead and said: "Zuo Caiyun was captured by the enemy, they all chased after her."

  "What are you all living on?" Gunpowder didn't care, seemingly ignoring Wang Xiaohu who was limping like he had twisted his foot, and shouted a curse as he chased after the direction he was pointing.

  After chasing for a mile or two, Huoyao finally caught up with the Big Bull and his gang. But to his surprise, they suddenly stopped in their tracks and grinned at him, saying: "Hey, you're pretty fast today! You caught up so quickly."

  Seeing a few people's happy appearance, Huoyao suddenly slapped his forehead. It really is none of my business, and worrying about it only leads to trouble. I didn't expect that I was still being played by the special forces team members. Now I should have been pulled down several miles away by Yanzi and Zuocaiyun, right? The result can be imagined, Huoyao became the last one as everyone wished.

  Liu Tao had long been prepared for the supplementary meal. Using canned meat captured from the little devils, mixed with a lot of wild vegetables and stir-fried together. A full bowl was placed on the table, along with a jar of roasted wine that had been stored for a long time. This was already a sumptuous feast for the people who had not seen oil and fat for a long time.

  The guerrilla troops, except for the sentry personnel, all sat together in a circle. Liu Tao asked everyone to fill their wine bowls and said: "I'm an unrefined person, I won't say anything else, let's just take a swig together."

  In the midst of everyone's cheers, Huo Yao put down his wine bowl without touching it. Although he had been salivating over the wine for a long time, he still had to concede defeat graciously, or else how could he face his special forces team members in the future? At this moment, Zuo Caiyun, who was sitting next to Huo Yao, smiled and whispered to him, "If you want to drink, just drink. We've already discussed other punishments for you."

  "Huo Yao" looked at the other special forces team members. "Dà Niú" and others were all smiling slyly, as if warning him to be careful. But "Yan Zi" was nodding with a smile. Huo Yao didn't care about that anymore, and thought "if there's wine today, let's get drunk today". He took a big gulp and shouted: "Good wine!"

  The great bull then picked up his wine bowl and said to Huo Yao, "Although you can't beat me in a fight, I still admit that you're more formidable than me. Let me toast you with a bowl of wine."

  The two men finished a bowl of wine and then refilled it.

  Wang Xiaolong picked up his wine bowl and said, "Although you are our instructor, teaching us many things, but you always treat us like brothers. I also want to toast you with a bowl of wine."

  Er Niu and Wang Xiaohu also came to toast after, Huo Yao's heart was secretly delighted, they wouldn't think of getting themselves drunk, would they? This coincided with his own intentions, he was thinking of getting drunk anyway. After falling asleep like this, he wouldn't think of so many people he missed.

  After several bowls of wine, Big Cow suddenly shouted to the guerrilla fighters: "How about we welcome the arrival of gunpowder with a song?"

  "Alright, bring on the gunpowder." The guerrilla fighters all cheered.

  The members of the special forces team had strange expressions on their faces. It seemed like gunpowder was about to be exposed. Only Swallow was still smiling.

  "We are all divine marksmen, every bullet kills an enemy. We are flying troops, no matter how high the mountain or deep the water. In the dense forest, everywhere is arranged with comrades' camps. On the high mountain ridge, there are countless good brothers of ours. No food, no clothes, the enemy will deliver them to us. No guns, no cannons, the enemy will make them for us..."

  A stirring song of the guerrilla team, making everyone excited. Zuo Caiyun looked at Huo Yao in surprise, this person was indeed both civil and martial. She didn't know what she was thinking, but her face suddenly turned red. Da Niu looked at Yanzi with a blaming gaze, what kind of punishment is this?

  Drunk beyond recognition, he suddenly grabbed Zuo Caiyun and Yanzi beside him and shouted to everyone: "I love you all."

  Zuo Caiyun's face turned even redder, although she knew that Huo Yao's mention of love was not referring to the love between men and women.

  The swallow also had a red face and said in a voice that was almost inaudible to herself: "Brother, I...I..."

  There was a thunderstorm last night. My buddy got up at 3 am to code. It's almost time to go to work again. Hang in there, brothers! Recommend and collect.
