Chapter 1640: Wake Up

There was no time to lose. The commanders of the two teams quickly adjusted their combat strategy. Xia Jinyuan immediately called White Crane and Pigeon back. Li Jinnian immediately stopped his ‘bait’ tactic and led his team to the final place.

The place was surrounded by barbed wire. There was high-voltage electricity on the wire. Besides the Storm Commando Brigade and the Snow Region Brigade members, no one else could enter.

There were a few wooden houses inside. These wooden houses were the resting points for the forest police when they patrolled the mountain. Now, they were taken in as a stronghold. A stronghold that will be attacked by the Snow Region Brigade and the Storm Commando Brigade.

There were two rows of soldiers in the base and two rows of soldiers outside. One row had thirty people. There were four rows of 120 targets.

After the two teams finished guarding the base, they would face each other.

At this moment, both sides were tired and hungry. At the same time, their stamina was severely depleted. The command center didn’t leave much time for everyone to rest to understand each of their combat abilities. They needed to end the five-day compet.i.tion before 6:00 PM tomorrow. If they didn’t take down the stronghold by then, both teams would lose.

The temperature in the wooden house was slightly better than outside, but the north wind still came in through the gaps in the wood. A sentinel who was on guard pushed open the wooden door and walked over. He patted the snow off his body and walked to his platoon leader. “Platoon Leader, let’s wait for tonight.”

They had been waiting for three days, but they hadn’t seen the so-called Special Forces.

“It’s almost night. Everyone, be alert tonight. Don’t let anyone touch your neck from behind.” The platoon leader had been keeping an eye on his soldiers for the past few days. It was better in the day, but he was afraid that he would be ‘killed’ at night.

This time, they brought their soldiers here to broaden their horizons. They wanted to see how the Special Forces fought. They were really lucky to have such an opportunity.

The wind outside the wooden house kept blowing. The wind blew into the house and caused the rainproof cloth to rustle. The platoon leader couldn’t help but stand up and look outside. The wind was so strong that it should stop at night.

When the snow wind blew on their faces, it felt like someone was slapping them. It was painful and itchy. In the end, even their noses were numb. Besides Li Jinnian, who was slightly fairer, the Water Ghosts’ skin was dark. Their noses weren’t as obvious as the radishes.

Ye Jian was different. When she stood among the Water Ghosts, she was like a graceful swan mixed with black swans. Her nose was bright red.

Li Jinnian couldn’t help but want to laugh a few times when he spoke to her, but he controlled himself.

After walking for so long, Ye Jian didn’t feel cold. She couldn’t help but cover her nose. She touched her nose lightly with her gloved fingers. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She didn’t seem to feel anything. It was so cold she felt like she was touching someone else’s nose.

“Don’t touch it. Go back and get some boiled radishes. It will be fine.” Li Jinnian couldn’t help but remind her in a low voice. He reached out his hand. They were climbing the mountain now. The snow was too thick. They needed to help each other.

Ye Jian reached out her hand and grabbed it tightly. She pulled her feet out of the snow and followed him.

Her hand was very small. It was obviously different from a male soldier’s hand. Sometimes, Li Jinnian even wondered if he would break her hand if he used too much force.

She was the only female soldier on both teams. In such a harsh environment, she didn’t complain. This was admirable.
