Conquest

  Indeed, as long as you move your brain a bit, you can understand the other's intention. Although the spider is broken, the information it brings back is enough to make everyone realize that the enemy is not an ordinary soldier, but also a specially trained special soldier. Even if they know that Spider has already passed on the message to his teammates, whether they say it or not is already irrelevant. Of course, they don't expect Chen Yang and others to really rush to Moshigou to be their shooting targets, but affecting their mood is enough.

  Now the problem facing Chen Yang and others is becoming more and more serious. For the entire 8341 squad, Luciofficer is their eyes. The squad will adjust its tactics in time according to the information fed back by Luciofficer during combat. To a certain extent, Luciofficer's role in the squad even exceeds that of the captain.

  In theory, the combat route of a general squad is usually determined by the vanguard and deputy captain, but the situation with Squad 8341 is slightly different. The captain, Nangong Lan, is generally dissolute and spends most of his time studying Japanese AV culture, except for critical moments when he will stand up. As for the vice-captain, Virus, his personality dictates that he can only make jokes during normal times, and it's impossible to expect him to make a decisive move at critical moments.

  Chen Yang was different, although nominally he wasn't the captain, but in reality these people were all led by him. From the training team to the selected personnel, not to mention the few who joined later and heard about Chen Yang's deeds, they also had a special feeling for Chen Yang from the bottom of their hearts. This directly resulted in the leader of 8341 squad's morale being Chen Yang.

  The truly tactical part of Chen Yang was not good at it, so the person who gave orders was still Nangong Lan.

  Ignoring the somewhat violent Sun Erpao and Jian Jie, Nan Gong Lan quickly made a plan. However, what he said in the communicator was very simple: "Virus, return to the team." Then he ordered everyone to turn off their communicators. Time passed quickly, and about three minutes later, the virus appeared in front of everyone.

  Nangong Lan said, "The virus, I believe you already know the basic situation. The local area has now obtained Spider's communication device, so our communication devices can no longer be used. Moreover, the most critical issue is that the known enemy is a special forces unit, and within this team, there are at least two or more snipers. In such a situation, if we blindly walk into their encirclement, the battle will become extremely arduous."

  Su Liang nodded, indicating for Nan Gong Lan to continue.

  "But our current situation is not even comparable to theirs, let alone engage in battle." Nangong Lan looked at Sun Erpao and Jian Jie with some helplessness, then turned his head to look at Chen Yang: "Wild donkey, you say it, where there are omissions I will supplement."

  Chen Yang nodded, he didn't speak as eloquently as Nangong Lan, and said: "Actually, the situation is very simple. Whether it's a special forces unit or any other unit, if we fight them now, we'll likely be held up, and being held up means that after dawn, we'll be hunted down by a company of soldiers plus a special forces squad. At that time, our infiltration will have completely failed, and we won't even have the chance to capture their commander, let alone get close to their base. So, for now, we can't fight!"

  "Your meaning is that we escape?"

  Chen Yang couldn't help but smile wryly. Since joining the 8341 squad, his comrades had gathered around him, and his perspective on thinking had also gradually shifted. Or perhaps this was a kind of growth for Chen Yang. At least, he would no longer rush into battle impulsively without thinking.

  "Shut up! Kuruma, listen to me finish speaking. The route ahead of us must be changed, it's unavoidable now. It's really annoying to have a special forces team that we can't predict when they'll attack us. So, if I'm not mistaken, Kuroba's idea of recalling the virus is to use the virus to distract this special forces team and buy us time, before dawn breaks, to rush to the target base..."

  "Not bad, just like that." Nangong Lan said.

  Chen Yang thought for a moment and continued: "As for the others, I couldn't think of anything else. For the next road, I will go to replace Spider to take on the vanguard..."

  Nangong Lan shook his head: "The vanguard is indeed needed, but it's not suitable for now. For the next road, except for the virus to attract the opponent's attention, others cannot disperse and must concentrate together to accelerate progress. I just carefully studied the map, this road has another place that should be able to pass, huh, it's here, called Luoying Canyon..."

  Su Liang disappeared into the darkness once again, alone and quietly making his way to Mo Shigou. As agreed, if he didn't encounter any problems, he would find a way to reach the target base on his own. However, all the warriors were clear about one thing: no matter how exceptional they were, taking on a special forces team alone was suicidal behavior...

  When Chen Yang and the others arrived at Lui Ying Trench, they finally understood why it was not marked on the map as a passable route. Before them stood an absolute precipice; the mountain seemed to have suddenly broken off here, with a sheer cliff stretching for several miles right in front of everyone's eyes. Once again opening up the map, the crowd confirmed that this was indeed Lui Ying Trench.

  Everyone's face looked a bit unsightly, Jian Jie said: "Let's kill our way back, no time to waste, go to Mo Shigou, and fight that small team..."

  Chen Yang gave Jian Jie a cold glance, but didn't say a word. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the precipice in front of him. To be honest, the mountain range's rift was indeed very steep, but it still had some distance from being vertical at 90 degrees. Moreover, it wasn't entirely covered in ice and snow; the rocky outcroppings seemed to be beckoning Chen Yang over.

  "Give me the rope." Chen Yang said, "If there is a rope now, can you go up?" Nangong Lan hesitated and said, "Wild donkey, think carefully, this is just an exercise, no need to be so desperate, in such cold weather, on such a steep cliff, if something happens..."

  Chen Yang didn't say a word, turned his head to look at Sun Erpao: "And you? If there's a rope on this cliff, can you climb up?" Sun Erpao stared with wide eyes: "I can! Why not?" Chen Yang smiled and patted Sun Erpao's shoulder, turning back to say: "Good, this is indeed an exercise, but in my eyes, it's war! If we were really facing the enemy now, would we retreat just because of the valley in front of us? If the enemy was shooting real bullets instead of tranquilizer darts, would we dodge?"

  Everyone remained silent.

  Looking at the time, it was less than an hour before dawn. Chen Yang's tone suddenly became heavy: "I don't want to ask you to risk your lives like me, but I hope you think carefully about this. Being a soldier once, I don't want to have nothing to show for it. You and Sun Erpao are different from me, you have knowledge, special skills, and wherever you go, there will be people competing for you. If the 8341 squad is disbanded, the military career waiting for us will be a feeding trough and an oil pipeline. I don't understand grand theories, but I know that no matter what people do, they must do their best. Have you seen the movie Shanghai Beach? Ma Yongzhen once said in it, 'I'd rather be a big brother for three days than a little brother for a lifetime.' And now, I just want to say, I'd rather be a special forces soldier for three days than a pig feeder for a lifetime!"

  For a moment, all members of Squad 8341 were stunned.

  They didn't have a chance to speak, and in the biting cold wind, Chen Yang had already rushed towards the cliff. Sun Erpao, who was also preparing to rush up the cliff, was pulled back by Nan Gonglan. As he pondered over Chen Yang's words, after a long while, he looked at Chen Yang struggling to move on the cliff and didn't know what kind of feeling it was in his heart.

  Looking around at the crowd, Qu Mado, medical special forces, Ba Ge, driver language special forces, scriptwriter, special trap setter, masseuse, photoelectric communication... Apart from the basic training of special forces, each of them has a unique talent that others can't compare to, and it's even enviable. Indeed, Chen Yang and Sun Erpao seem ordinary among them, but it's precisely this ordinariness that makes Nan Gonglan feel shocked. Is it true that only soldiers with special talents are good soldiers?

  Warrior! What is a warrior? Remember when playing chess, the rule for pawns is that they are not allowed to turn back. Why can't they turn back? It seems he has come to understand something now. As a warrior, in front of military orders, even if one knows they will definitely die, they cannot retreat. Defeat is nothing, but once there is a thought of retreating in their heart, that is cowardice! A cowardly person can never become a good soldier.

  Nangong Lan suddenly realized that what they lacked was the aura of Chen Yang, or rather, his bloodline! To put it bluntly, they lacked that kind of foolish courage.

  The wind was blowing stronger and stronger, after crawling on the cliff for more than half an hour, I finally climbed to the top of the cliff safely, which is almost unimaginable. A height of over 40 meters is equivalent to a residential building of over 10 floors, calculated at 3.5 meters per floor.

  At this time, his hands had long since lost all feeling due to numbness. The extremely tense nerves relaxed, causing his physical strength to greatly decrease. With his last bit of energy, he tightly tied the rope around a pine tree as thick as a bucket. Chen Yang then tied the other end of the rope to a rock and threw it down.

  Looking down at the scenery below the precipice, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart, but Chen Yang was not clear what this feeling was called - Conquest!

  As for who would come and who wouldn't, Chen Yang couldn't be sure in his heart, but he had already made up his mind that no matter what, he couldn't accept the fate of the 8341 squad being disbanded. When he slightly recovered some physical strength and began to familiarize himself with the surrounding terrain, dawn broke on the horizon, the darkness receded, and in his eyes, a military camp appeared behind a small hill...
