The helicopter landed five kilometers in front of the Black Forest. The person in charge of the handover was the Patrol Minister.

The SUV entered the Black Forest region one after the other.

The Patrol Officer had a serious expression on his face, "It"s been a long time since a new recruit has come to take the test here."

"So we should be honored." Ling Jie said.

"I also hope that you can smoothly complete the mission."

The car stopped and everyone dispersed.

The sunlight seeped through the gaps of the trees like sparkling stars in the sky.

The forest was eerily quiet.

Xiao Man led the small group as they entered from the southwest. They walked carefully with every step, and a little bird flapped its wings as it flew through the gaps in the tree, causing the only sound that could be heard.

Wei Ziqi lowered her voice, "The general location given by the instructor is ten kilometers to the southeast. Our mission is to save the cla.s.s target."

Zhao Qing took out the map and studied it carefully, "There is a swamp above that is not good for us to move forward, and there is a snake den below that is not good for us to move forward. Although it is hibernation time, as long as we move a little more, we might not wake up these cold-blooded animals."

If we were to break through from the top, it is very likely that we would fall into the marshland. If we were to break through from the bottom, it would not be a joke to wake up these cold-blooded animals.

Everyone nodded.

Everyone kept quiet as they walked through the forest, step by step. They were sure that they had not broken the balance of the entire region.

"What is that sound?" Xiao Man suddenly stopped walking.

Spa.r.s.e footsteps sounded in the air not far away.

"Disperse." Before he finished his sentence, the group of people disappeared without a trace.

"Captain, did we make a mistake just now?" Two or three people came out of the bushes and looked around to make sure there was no one around.

"The tree." Xiao Ye stared fixedly at the two towering trees in front of him. The entire tree was covered in leaves, making it very convenient for him to hide.

Xiao Man jumped down from the tree and saluted. "Commander, you haven"t retreated yet?"

"Prepare to retreat today." Xiao Ye looked at the group of nine, "It seems like you are very used to this atmosphere."

"We are fully prepared." Sun Yueyan held her head high and said.

Xiao Ye tugged on the corner of Xiao Man"s s.h.i.+rt, "Don"t blame me for not remembering our old friends.h.i.+p. Do you need me to tell you the location of the target in secret?"

Xiao Man covered his mouth. "Sir, we"re asking for fairness."

Xiao Ye pulled her hand away, "Do you really think I would tell you?"

Xiao Man glared at the complacent Xiao Ye. His face still wore that cynical smile, and in the end, he proudly waved his hand.

The forest returned to silence.

Fallen leaves fell down in spirals. The night wind lingered in the deep forest, and from time to time, the sounds of night animals could be heard.

Everyone sat around eating compressed biscuits, and the forest was slowly shrouded by the night mist.

"How long have Ling Jie and the rest been gone for?" Wei Ziqi looked at the time.

"Almost half an hour." Sun Yuanyan said.

"I"ll go take a look." Xiao Man held the spear and searched through his memories.

The wind blew loudly in the night, causing the military boots on the thick fallen leaves to creak.

Ling Jie was lying in the bushes, and when she heard the sound of movement behind her, she subconsciously turned around and prepared to attack at any moment.

Xiao Man covered his mouth to indicate for her to be quiet. "It"s me, what"s the matter?"

Ling Jie heard the familiar voice and said softly, "I notice a light up ahead."

Xiao Man looked towards the direction she pointed. As expected, there was a weak light that could be ignored.

Ling Jie continued, "Do you need to go take a look?"

Xiao Man nodded. "I"ll go over and have a look. Tell everyone to prepare when you go back. I"ll immediately send out a signal the moment something goes wrong."

"Mm, you be careful." Ling Jie slowly retreated a few steps.

Xiao Man moved her feet step by step. She pushed away the gra.s.s that blocked her line of sight and the light gradually became brighter.

"Hm." A hand abruptly covered her nose and mouth.

Xiao Man violently struggled. That desire to live made her instinctively throw an elbow behind her back and dare to sneak attack her hand.

Xiao Ye leaned close to her ear and comforted her, "It"s me. Don"t move."

Xiao Man panted as he stared at the man who had suddenly appeared. He rubbed his chest and asked, "Didn"t you retreat?"

"I just received news that there are two cars entering the Black Forest in the evening." Xiao Ye said.

"It"s this group?" Xiao Man looked carefully, the distance was slightly far and she could only see the rough outline of everyone and not the people from the Hua Clan.

"For safety"s sake, I came back to check on you." Xiao Ye pointed to a spot to the side. "Follow me."

Xiao Man carefully followed behind Xiao Ye as the two slowly approached the light.

The man opened the box. Under the light of the lantern, he saw a box of cash.

The other person placed the gun on his shoulder, and carefully counted the cash inside, nodding, "3 million."

"This is the 10% down payment. After this is done, the 30 million will be transferred to your account." The man closed the box.

"What about the photos?" The man in the chair spread his hands.

The man placed the photo on the table.

The man on the chair looked at them again and again and sneered, "Spending tens of millions just for these two brats?"

"Don"t underestimate these two kids, we only need these two children, if they can be tied up then tied up, if not tied up," the man took out a gun and reloaded, "You know what to do."

"Although we are engaged in this kind of heinous business, Mr. James, this kind of thing is against the principles of humanity." Although we are engaged in this kind of heinous business, Mr. James, this kind of thing is against the laws of nature.

"40 million." The man added.

The man on the chair lowered his gaze, "They added 10 million so easily, it seems these two children have a lot of weight."

"Do you still need to consider this deal?"

"To be able to make all of you send out such a large sum of money, this mission must not be simple. First, I have to enter the Flower Country, and then I have to enter the little kid"s house. Do you think this transaction is a loss or a gain?"

"So you"re afraid?" The man called James tossed his suitcase at the man behind him. "Maybe I should choose the next partner."

"Mr. James, did I say no?" The man stood up and exchanged two or four glances. "It"s my honor to work with you."

James held out his hand. "I"ll wait for your good news."

In the gra.s.s, Xiao Man looked at Xiao Ye with a serious expression.

Xiao Ye nodded, "I saw it. You don"t need to say anything else."

Xiao Man obediently closed his mouth. "What do we do now?"

"Retreat first." Xiao Ye stepped back cautiously.

"Woof woof woof." A beagle suddenly barked.

Xiao Ye"s expression froze. He grabbed Xiao Man, not caring if he would expose himself or not, and began to run crazily behind him. "Hurry up and go."

The leash on the Beetle was untied, and it chased after the two with its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth wide open.

Xiao Man noticed that something was pouncing towards her from behind. She clenched her teeth, turned around, and pulled the trigger with her index finger.

The sound of gunfire was deliberately magnified during the night, alerting all the birds and beasts nearby.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo." The Beetle was shot down.

Xiao Man quickly moved her feet. The night had stopped her judgment.

Xiao Ye stuffed her into the tall gra.s.s, "Okay, I will go lure them away."

The sound of footsteps became more and more intense, as if they were all coming at them at once.

Xiao Ye looked for a good cover and aimed at the first big guy that rushed into his line of sight. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger. The bullet rushed out of the muzzle and landed directly on the man"s chest.

Xiao Man looked through the gaps in the gra.s.s at the man who was being covered up and about to leave. She looked at the pursuers who had already left her surroundings, then tightened her grip on the gun in her hand and slowly moved forward.

James got into the car and said to the man in front of the car, "No matter what, kill anyone who hears us talking to each other. At once, I will not allow them to leave the Black Forest alive."

Xiao Man found the best sniper spot and adjusted the aiming lens. The man in the SUV seemed to be explaining something to her. She held her breath and heavily pressed down with her index finger.

The bullet went through the driver"s seat, grazed the leather of the chair, and landed with a thud on the man in the back, who was talking.

Bright red blood spurted out from the center of the man"s brows and splattered on the window. It was like a plum flower falling in the snow; it was extremely dazzling.

"Boss!" The man in the driver"s seat reacted and jumped down from the car. "Someone attacked the boss."

Xiao Man knew that she had already exposed her location, so she ran out from behind the rock with a "whoosh", took out a speed of 100 meters, and retreated backwards.

Under the moonlight, Sun Yuanyan heard one gunshot after another, summoning everyone.

Wei Ziqi was able to identify the source of the gunshot, "It"s the direction Ling Jie pointed to just now."

"Xiao Man must have been discovered. Hurry up and support him." Everyone gave up on their luggage and picked up their AK, running through the woods in panic.

BOOM! The smoke bomb broke into pieces, and waves of choking smoke gathered from all directions.

Xiao Man covered his nose and mouth as he thought to find a way out, but he had only taken two steps when a gun was placed at the back of her head.

"Put the gun down." The man"s cold voice sounded.

Xiao Man slowly squatted down and placed her sniper rifle by her feet. Following that, she kicked it a meter away.

The man slowly walked up to Xiao Man and examined her from top to bottom. "Chinese?"

Xiao Man didn"t reply.

The man gently lifted her chin. "You"re quite capable."

"I still have more abilities." Xiao Man raised his leg high and directly kicked the man"s thigh like a bolt of lightning, then grabbed the spear in the man"s hand with one arm in the next moment, pointing the muzzle towards the sky.

The man instinctively pulled the trigger due to the intense pain. The bullet flew through the air and struck a large tree.

Xiao Man twisted the man"s hand and picked up his arm. She swung both of his arms and made a perfect shoulder throw. She s.n.a.t.c.hed the man"s gun and shot him in the forehead without hesitation.

"F * ck, this girl is too fierce." Another man fired, but it was too late.

Xiao Man rolled twice on the ground and hid behind a large tree. Hearing the intermittent footsteps behind him, he didn"t hesitate and directly shot his gun.

Boom! Boom! Two gunshots pierced the night of the moon.

A bullet descended onto the man before her, and a bullet descended onto Xiao Man"s thigh.

Xiao Man"s center of gravity wobbled as he fell down.

The man walked over from behind her. It was winter, and he was still wearing his thin s.h.i.+rt. There was a barely discernible crocodile tattoo on his arm.

"Crack crack crack." Now that the bullet was empty, Xiao Man dropped her pistol and gritted her teeth as she wanted to continue retreating. Just as she took a step forward, a bullet struck her other leg and under the intense pain, it was difficult for her to move a single step.

The man squatted down and laughed coldly, "You"re quite capable. Unfortunately, you won"t be able to run out no matter how strong you are."

Xiao Man might as well lie down and say, "If you want to kill me, then kill me. Where did all this nonsense come from?"

The man stood up and looked around. There seemed to be a very strong smell of blood, and he especially liked this smell.

Xiao Man noticed the beautiful flower like appearance that was pointed at her with the muzzle of the gun. It was strange, as she was extremely afraid before she came, but what if she really died? It didn"t seem like he had lived enough.

However, when faced with death, he felt that death wasn"t that scary. At most, he would become a man in 18 years.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" On the big bed, Xiao Jing suddenly woke up. She sat on the bed, but the room was empty. Her hands were resting on her forehead, cold sweat trickling down her body.

She looked at her hands. The lights in the room were dim, but she could still see that they were trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Jing closed her eyes, turned on the bedside lamp, and looked at the time on her phone. It was already 3 in the morning.

She felt a little uneasy as she walked around the room twice. The thick wool blanket concealed her footsteps as she bit her finger.

"Dong, dong, dong." Footsteps sounded in the corridor.

Yan Jun knocked on the door and asked, "Little Jing, can I come in?"

Xiao Jing hastily opened the door and asked anxiously, "What happened to Grandma?"

Yan Jun was wrapped in a blanket as she said, "There was a call from the research inst.i.tute just now. There was an accident."

"What happened?" She tried her best to keep quiet, but she couldn"t control her panic.

Yan Jun consoled, "Don"t worry. First, change into another set of clothes. We"ll be there immediately."

Xiao Jing immediately returned to her room and put on a coat. "I"m done."

The two cars drove out of the villa.

The Inst.i.tute was already in a state of chaos.

Elder Qi looked at the scene in front of him with a deadpan expression, then said angrily, "Is this the promise you gave me?"

Shen Chengyi explained, "This is a necessary process, it"s not the first time that I"ve demonstrated it to you. After this period, your third brother will be back to normal."

"This trial is a wager based on the credibility of the military. If we fail, how will we be able to give the people an explanation?"

"You don"t need to say anything?" Xiao Yao"s powerful voice resounded from the back of the crowd.

Old Qi frowned, "Xiao Yao, you saw it too, the current Shen Chengfeng is invulnerable, no one knows what will happen when he wakes up. I will definitely not allow you to use everyone"s lives to carry out this experiment that has an unknown result. Immediately stop, immediately stop. "

"I"ve already said that we don"t need to explain ourselves to anyone." Xiao Yuan led a large group of people to occupy the whole research inst.i.tute.

"Xiao Yao, what are you planning to do?" Elder Qi looked at the fully armed group in disbelief.

Both of Xiao Yao"s hands were in his pockets as he said lightly, "Do something that you have always been worried about."

"You, you think —"

"Our Xiao family has been innocent for generations. I also believe that the Shen family has a pure character. The children that we raise naturally know how to value the greater picture."

"This is what you meant when you said you valued the overall situation!" Elder Qi emphasized his words as he bellowed.

"We throw away our heads and shed our blood, wholeheartedly serving the nation and the people. We die with our heads held high and our chests puffed up, and we have a clear conscience. We are not abandoned by our own country, abandoned by our own faith, destroyed by others as if we were sinners."

"Xiao Yao, I do not plan on destroying him. I am only sending him to a suitable place."

"The inst.i.tute is the most suitable place for him. All we have to do is wait for him to wake up, then we can end this farce."

Old Qi shook his head. "What if he wakes up and loses his natural instincts?"

"Have you lost your nature?" "Elder Qi, this excuse of yours seems a bit far-fetched."

"Xiao Yao, just treat it as me begging you. Can we just consider the safety of our country as our first goal? Such a potential danger cannot exist. "

"Old man Qi, treat it as me begging you. Leave a sliver of life for me, so we can meet again in the future."

"Are you really not willing to discuss it with me?"

"It was Elder Qi who didn"t want to negotiate amiably with us." Xiao Yao replied.

Elder Qi"s expression darkened. "Alright, in that case, I will immediately convene a meeting. When the time comes to vote, you won"t have any objections, right?"

Xiao Yao"s eyes did not blink as he looked at the powerful old man. He did not realize that he had put up such a big fight just for the sake of this final vote.

"Everyone in the military will get one vote tomorrow morning. We have to respect everyone no matter what the result is." Old man Qi led his many great leaders out of the arena in an awe-inspiring fas.h.i.+on.

Xiao Yuan tightened his fist.

"What are those guys doing here again?" Shen had just arrived at the inst.i.tute one day when he saw a group of leaders pulling out of the city.

Xiao Yao loosened his fists and said straightforwardly: "They are taking Shen Chengfeng away."

"These ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.ds." Yan Jun slammed the door and entered. "They really won"t let this go easily."

"Elder Qi is preparing to convene a general meeting of the military."

"What?" Shen Tian laughed mockingly at himself, "Our Shen family has been doing our best in the military for so many years. Good, good, the military a.s.sembly. I"d like to see what they can do other than this one move."

"That"s the only way they can do it." Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Jing, "Why did you come along as well?"

"I"ll go check on his condition first." Xiao Jing was anxious to enter the office. She sat on the chair and focused on the man who was still in a deep sleep on the screen.

Shen Chengyi entered his room tiredly, supporting his forehead with one hand, "There"s no sign of consciousness right now, I"m afraid we"ll have to wait for another two days."

"Second brother, why do you think they would grab hold of the captain and not let go?" Xiao Jing asked even though she knew the answer.

"Some people who stay in a high position for too long will naturally worry about their subordinates stabbing them in the back one day."

"The captain was so open, yet he became nothing but a villain in their mouths."

Shen Chengyi sat on the chair, supporting himself with both hands on the table, "The military might be in a mess these two days, the Shen family and Xiao family won"t be at peace, you can stay here. If he wakes up, you can be the first one to know."

"May I go in and see him?"

Shen Chengyi noticed her serious eyes and said, "I can only stay for 10 minutes."

Xiao Jing pushed open the door of the laboratory. The temperature was abnormally high, almost like a furnace.

Shen Chengyi explained, "It"s not that I"m not letting you in, but you can feel it yourself. The temperature inside is around 50 degrees Celsius, if you take too long, you"ll pa.s.s out."

Xiao Jing walked with heavy steps into the laboratory. He was lying alone on the experiment table in the empty room. His skin was a strange shade of red. She could feel that the closer she was to him, the higher the temperature was.

"The babies came home the day before yesterday. It was so quiet, as if they knew this was their home and kept looking around with their eyes wide open." Xiao Jing stood two meters away from him, her hands tightly intertwined.

The room was very quiet. No one replied.

"Captain, I always thought that I was already very powerful, that I was fearless in the face of a rain of bullets, but in the face of humanity, I felt that I was too weak. No matter how sharp the blade in my hand was, even if it was aimed at my enemy, I never thought that one day, the protector behind me would stab this side of the blade into my body.

"You often say that the responsibility on our shoulders is glory, pride, and pride. However, all they want is a puppet, an obedient puppet, and a puppet that will focus on the greater picture. "

"Captain, I don"t want to become a puppet."

"Fine, I won"t do it." A low and deep voice reverberated within the room. The person who was sleeping soundly had opened their eyes at some point, and they were staring at her without blinking an eye.

Xiao Jing rubbed her eyes and rubbed them again. At first, she thought that she was muddle-headed from the heat. When she opened her eyes again, he was already very close.

In other words —

Hahaha, let"s see how our captain will act in the next chapter.
