Chapter 21: Night Watch (2)

  The weather is fine tonight, with a cloudless sky and moonlight shining brightly on the ground.

  Xu Ming applied the medicine sent by Captain Shao to the wound, then lay down on the slope with his AWM sniper rifle, covering himself with a sleeping bag.

  When the tense nerves relaxed, they were followed by occasional swelling pains in various joints throughout the body, but the fatigue came like a tidal wave, and Xu Ming soon entered the land of dreams.

  Based on Xu Ming's understanding of this sinister and treacherous uncle, he was sure to come up with some trick tonight. Even if he fell asleep, Xu Ming didn't dare enter deep sleep, always in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

  Within two or three hours, Xu Ming woke up at least eight times. It wasn't until around one or two o'clock in the morning that Xu Ming didn't dare to doze off again, calculating the time, it should be almost here.

  Xu Ming took out the AWM sniper rifle and observed the surroundings with the scope. The weather was not bad, there was no wind, and this small mound was the only high point in the area, everything around could be seen clearly.

  Nothing's wrong, Xu Ming let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had dozed off for a while earlier; otherwise, if Lieutenant Colonel was blowing the whistle at that time, it would have been really terrible.

  In the past, Xu Ming often heard his friends who were soldiers say that during their new recruit period, the army liked to blow the whistle for assembly in the middle of the night when they were most tired, in order to train their reaction ability.

  Being vigilant at all times is the most basic requirement for a special forces member. The major would definitely not let this training go to waste, and in his style, blowing the assembly whistle at this time was the best choice. Because most people had been tossed around for several days and hadn't had a good night's sleep, this was the best time to sleep, and most people were definitely late.

  If there were still enough people, the lieutenant would have done so, but unfortunately, only eight people are left. What if I were the lieutenant? Would I continue to reduce personnel? It's probably unrealistic. If it were me, I'd find someone to sneak into their sleeping quarters and give them a good beating, so they'll remember for the rest of their lives to always be on high alert.

  Xu Ming thought of this and couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that this was just a guess.

  Suddenly a rustling sound seemed to come from the grass, Xu Ming was startled and quickly used the sniper rifle's scope to observe around, but everything was quiet as usual.

  Isn't it just your own nerves being too sensitive?

  Xu Ming inadvertently lowered his head and saw that beside the grass where he was squatting, several crickets and grasshoppers ran past.

  It was this group of small insects, I was so scared that I thought... no?!

  Xu Ming reached out and caught a cricket, which was easily grasped in his hand. No wonder it felt like something was off - this cricket's hind leg was gone, and there was an obvious new wound with torn flesh at the injury site.

  Xu Ming broke out in a cold sweat and once again used his sniper rifle to scan the surroundings. This time he looked very carefully, but the surroundings were still empty.

  Was I wrong in my judgment? Did the cricket cut off its own leg? No, insects rarely run together unless they feel threatened at the same time.

  Xu Ming crouched motionless in the thicket, his sniper rifle slung over his shoulder, slowly adjusting the angle, looking down. Suddenly, a spot of weeds in his field of vision seemed to move slightly, although it was not very obvious, but Xu Ming still caught it.

  Xu Ming continued to observe quietly, as a sniper's most essential quality was patience.

  The weeds seem to be moving, the movement is not obvious, but for Xu Ming who is fully focused, it's so clear. It's really moving! Damn! Camouflage in the wild! That must be camouflaged weeds, which can't be distinguished at all under the night color.

  Xu Ming adjusted the scope's parallax again, and the scene in front of him was immediately pulled closer. Xu Ming could now clearly see a corner of the leather glove exposed.

  Subconsciously, Xu Ming barely hesitated and didn't have time to hesitate either, because the moving pile of weeds was less than 50 meters away from him.

  Bang

  A faintly audible crisp sound, that was the sound of an empty shell being fired.

  Damn it! I'm so nervous, I actually forgot there's no bullet in the gun.

  Xu Ming turned his hand over and touched his waist, pulling out a dagger from his waist. His body began to slowly move in another direction. This was the inertia of a sniper, after one shot, the position would be exposed, and he must quickly transfer and leave.

  It was only then that Xu Ming surprisingly discovered that the pile of camouflaged weeds in front of him quickly moved backwards after hearing the sound of Xu Ming's empty shell being fired.

  Through the scope, Xu Ming could clearly see a figure crawling and running rapidly on the ground, disappearing from his line of sight in just two short minutes.

  Xu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, he finally knew what the lieutenant colonel was going to do, and it coincided with his speculation. The lieutenant colonel's purpose was obviously to take advantage of their sleepiness to give them a good scolding, and then teach them another lesson.

  But Xu Ming discovered them and fired his gun, in a sense, even if he didn't hit them, their mission this time would still end in failure, so they had to leave quickly.

  It seems that the second half of the night may be much safer, thinking so, but Xu Ming dared not to be careless. He shifted again to another position on the slope to observe the surroundings, until Kapu came over to take over, and Xu Ming did not find them coming back again.

  Xu Ming told Kap about the situation he had discovered, telling her to be careful and fire a warning shot if she found anyone approaching again. Kap nodded in understanding, pulled out her Mauser pistol, and crawled into the bushes.

  Can't help but admit that Kap's figure is quite seductive, especially when lying on the ground, that slightly raised buttocks... made Xu Ming swallow hard.

  Xu Ming couldn't help but take a few more glances, unexpectedly Kapo seemed to sense something and turned around to give Xu Ming a flirtatious glance. Xu Ming was startled and awkwardly ran back into the hole.

  In the dark cave, nothing could be seen. Xu Ming crawled in, feeling his way, but unexpectedly grabbed two soft things.

  Xu Ming instinctively wanted to let go, but didn't expect Maya to be startled awake as well. Her small hand grabbed Xu Ming's right hand and gave it a sudden twist, surprisingly using standard grappling technique.

  Caught off guard, Xu Ming was suddenly hit and couldn't help but let out a pained "ah". He never expected that Maya, such a petite girl, would have so much strength.

  Maya in the darkness, as soon as she seemed to hear Xu Ming's voice, hurriedly asked: "Ming, is that you?"

  Xu Ming gritted his teeth and said: "It's me, Maya you... can you let go first?"

  Maya heard it was Xu Ming's voice, and quickly let go of her hand. Xu Ming rubbed his slightly sore wrist, smiling awkwardly: "You're quite strong."

  The girl's unique body fragrance wafted over, Maya pounced into Xu Ming's arms, making a sound of "hmm" in her mouth, and her small hands actually slipped into Xu Ming's clothes, grabbing the thing under his crotch.

  Under this stimulation, Xu Ming suddenly felt a surge of breath, and his lively head was raised.

  "This... Maya is not good, Kap is still on it." Xu Ming, although his desire was burning, had to consider that there was a beautiful woman on top.

  Maya said in a very small voice: "It's okay... I won't make any noise for a while..."

  Maya's words seemed to have completely ignited Xu Ming's desire, and Xu Ming, after all, was just a twenty-something-year-old man in his prime. At that moment, he couldn't care less about anything else, and with one swift motion, he pinned Maya down beneath him.

  Karp circled around the surroundings, and suddenly a strange noise came from the hole below. Karp felt something was wrong and quietly made his way down.

  Karp, who had night vision ability, suddenly appeared in front of a vivid island landscape, her slightly swollen face instantly turned bright red.

  Xu Ming, Nima is just an idiot...
