Chapter Thirty-Two: The Death of the Guiding Star

  "Head! They're biting too tight!" Two Hummers ran in S-shaped routes, constantly dodging bullets shot from the pickup truck behind. Jie Yan struggled to control the steering wheel and reported to Can Lang.

  Since Team VX changed direction, the unknown enemy quickly reacted and pursued them all the way, crazily surrounding and intercepting them without stopping.

  "Sniper, take out the universal!" A burst of gunfire, and Lang's command was executed. The muzzle of Jianzi's and Zhunxing's guns rose slightly as they were aiming at the pickup truck's engine, and two bullets simultaneously hit the machine gunners on the two pickups.

  "Abandon the vehicle, into the rainforest!" Every order from the Lone Wolf was executed perfectly. Everyone got off the car decisively. The wild boar handed the M249 to the madman and bent down to carry the protected person. Duan Hou's pincers installed a modified wide-blade anti-infantry rocket on the door handle, then followed everyone into the dense thicket by the road.

  Three minutes later, a dull explosion sounded. Everyone quickened their pace to get as far away from the enemy as possible. Although 900 meters was already the limit of visibility in the dense forest, no one dared to be careless.

  Looking at the coordinates of his own people on GPS, Can Lang couldn't help but feel a little worried. From here to their destination was still about 160 kilometers away, and relying solely on two legs, he had no idea how long it would take to get there.

  "Halt and lay mines! Snipers, hold off the enemy." With a final glance at the considerable distance between two points on his GPS, Lone Wolf gave the order to the crowd of people running.

  Laying mines is not simply a matter of burying lethal shells in places where the enemy will pass. Laying mines is a test of one's mind, an extension of psychological warfare between enemies. Experienced mine-layers can even predict the various reactions of the enemy when they encounter a minefield and lay traps accordingly to lure them in.

  Dàozi heard the words and turned back to the original road with a star, while others quickly took out various types of lethal mines from their backpacks and began to "decorate" the entire road. The fastest mine-laying speed was none other than Qiánzi, who could conceal a lethal mine under his feet in just three or five moves, and each mine-laying method was different, giving people a dizzying feeling.

  At this time, the M24 of the two knife men not far away also rang out. Two snipers hiding in the dark easily suppressed a pursuit team of fifty people at the edge of the rainforest.

  "Ran Lang speed up! They're dismantling the heavy weapons on the pickup truck!" Dao Zi reported to Ran Lang, panting.

  "Fall in! Advance at the double!" In the low, urgent command, everyone carefully avoided their own lethal mines and turned to advance into the depths of the jungle.

  Listening to the faint and continuous explosion sounds coming from his ears, the Lone Wolf let out a slight sigh of relief. Suppressing the strong desire in his heart to go back and kill, the Lone Wolf once again urged his teammates to speed up their pace.

  To be honest, the pursuing enemy's combat power is not that scary, but they can slow down the march of VX squad. If trapped in a pincer movement by the opponent's main force, even another VX squad may not be enough to look at.

  So now they can only escape, escape from their pursuit line of sight, and everything will become easier. Each checked the ammunition reserves in their hands, everyone was a little worried, this amount of ammunition is not enough to last more than 150 kilometers.

  "Monkey nuts, you two expand the scouting range and look for nearby armed strongholds. We need to replenish our ammo!" The lone wolf gave a serious order to the two who had taken over the reconnaissance mission from AK brothers.

  The two who received the command tapped the receiver to indicate receipt. The Lone Wolf continued to give orders, "Team doctor, you are nearby looking for a campsite, continue advancing at night, our physical consumption is too great."

  Finally able to rest, everyone let out a sigh of relief. It's been four hours since we abandoned the vehicle and everyone has been rushing along. Especially Jiyan and Wild Boar, who took turns carrying the protected character, were panting heavily.

  Slow down the pace a bit and wait for Hua Tuo's news, everyone adjusted their equipment in hand, and the remaining wolves and pliers carefully erased the traces of the crowd's passage. 15 minutes later, Hua Tuo finally found a resting place. Following Hua Tuo's instructions, the remaining wolves and others quickly rushed over.

  Crossing a small river about 7 or 8 meters wide, the crowd took a short rest in an open space with good visibility, and the river's obstruction could at least give everyone a reaction time when the enemy attacked.

  Diao Zi and Zhun Xing were assigned the first watch while the others took the opportunity to catch up on their sleep in order to face the upcoming battle in a better state of mind.

  The watch trembled slightly, and the remaining wolf and pliers simultaneously opened their eyes to take over the vigilance task from the two knives. After replacing the sight on his M24, the remaining wolf raised an eyebrow and began to carefully observe the situation on the other side of the river. Although Congo is located in central Africa, it's not as hot as people imagine, with a pleasant average temperature of over 20 degrees.

  Two lone wolves were on high alert at noon, the intense sunlight above their heads had slightly withered the plants in the rainforest. The scene in the scope was rippling with fine waves due to the evaporation of surface water vapor. Lone Wolf slowly moved his angle of view to search for unusual places, since receiving this mission, Lone Wolf always had a sense of unease, so he never dared to be careless.

  Suddenly, several small birds flew up from a dense big tree on the other side of the river. The lone wolf was startled and quickly turned the scope over while tapping his earpiece to hint that the pliers had a situation.

  The two men searched carefully and finally a faint reflection was discovered by both of them at the same time.

  "Bang, bang!" The two of them fired their guns almost simultaneously, and the enemy's gun also rang out. Upon hearing that crisp gunshot, Lán Huǒ immediately identified it as an SVD. In his field of vision, Lán Huǒ clearly saw a heavy object falling from the tree.

  The delighted remnants of the wolf pack suddenly heard a muffled groan, no! Someone's been hit!

  The remaining wolves quickly turned back, only to see the youngest Accurist desperately covering his chest with his hands, fresh red blood constantly flowing from his mouth and finger gaps. Huatuo and Resonance Snake, who had already been awakened, rushed over to start tense rescue efforts. Knife stared blankly at Accurist, who was discussing whose diamond was more valuable with him just half an hour ago, seemingly unable to believe that the first fallen soldier of Team VX would be the youngest Accurist.

  Seeing Daozi's dazed expression, Canlang punched him in the face! "Bastard! What are you spacing out for? This is a battlefield! Go find me the enemy's corpse right now! I want to know who our enemy is!" The not-so-old Canlang tried to rouse the dazed Daozi despite his own inner pain. Daozi came back to himself, grabbed the M249 from Fengzi's hand and charged forward according to Qianzi's guidance.

  "Lang Ge..." The voice of Zhun Xing, tinged with a sob, called out to the remaining wolves.

  Zanlang hastily leaned in and stuck his ear close to Zhunxing, "Brother, hold on for me, you'll be fine!" Zanlang forcibly comforted Zhunxing in Eyeglasses Snake's arms.

  "Brother Wolf, no need to deceive me anymore. I'm a sniper, and I fully understand the consequences of being shot in the chest by an SVD... Cough, cough! Remember to inlay the diamond on my tombstone for me, you're not allowed to take it away... And... I want to cover myself with the national flag..." Accurate Star's words were cut off as the diamond that had just been raised halfway fell onto his chest, and bright red blood stained the small greyish-white stone.

  Hua Tuo beside him was stunned, but still injected the morphine he had just picked up into Zhun Xing's neck. Looking at Zhun Xing's eyes that had already lost their vitality, Can Lang gritted his teeth and removed the soldier's tag from his neck, then put on the ring on Zhun Xing's right index finger, which had pulled the trigger countless times.

  Along with the two blood-stained diamonds and the Soldier's Badge, Canaan put them in his breast pocket. The Lone Wolf began digging a hole on a relatively dry patch of land, while the others, except for the pliers still monitoring the enemy sniper point, pulled out their military knives to help.

  Holding the frail body of Zhunxing, Canlang slowly placed him in a small grave dug out with a military knife. After rummaging through all his pockets, Canlang finally found the national flag armband he had torn off from a lieutenant's arm in Tibet. He solemnly placed it on Zhunxing's chest, and then everyone silently covered the body with soil. By the time they finished, a low and almost imperceptible mound stood there.

  The man dropped the corpse from his hand and walked to the front of the grave, raised his right arm in salute, a standard People's Liberation Army military salute.
