2720 Took On The Danger Alone
G3 punched the tree beside him with all his might. Blood flowed out from the back of his hand. After a while, he suppressed the impulse in his heart and said to V8, "Q King once said that if he's not around, everyone must listen to Demon King's orders. V8, this is an order. It's the duty of soldiers to obey orders!"
…
The entire location was dead silent. Only the short and hurried panting of every special forces soldier could be heard.
They all understood!
Demon King wasn't wrong. V8 wasn't wrong either.
No one was wrong.
One chose the big picture while the other chose to go through thick and thin together.
If Demon King wasn't the leader, he would have chosen to face adversity head-on.
But he was the captain of a special forces unit and a commander.
As a commander, he had to consider the big picture.
If he let his comrades take the risk now, he would be disregarding his comrades' lives and making the wrong decision.
He wanted to look for Q King and Azure Bird too, but he had to consider the big picture!
Seven of them would represent the country to participate in the competition and secretly learn from the top special forces soldiers of the various countries. If anything happened to anyone… how would they answer to the country?
Time ticked by. They were in a stalemate for five minutes. V8 turned his head first and bent over to enter the shelter.
"Let's rest. Maybe…"
Perhaps their missing comrades would come back soon… Before he could finish his sentence, they heard a rustling sound that was clearly different from the sound of rain hitting the leaves. Besides V8, who had already dodged the rain, everyone's eyes were shining as they looked in the direction of the rustling sound!
Finally, they saw a black shadow moving in the green world. The soldiers from the Xueyu unit were the first to recognize the black shadow. G3 shouted at the leaves three meters away from them, "Captain!"
Xia Jinyuan, who was walking in the forest, was waving the leaves that were blocking his path. When he heard the voice, he stopped in his tracks. His comrades were in front of him, but he didn't feel the joy of reuniting after losing contact for nearly three hours.
Soon, he walked in front of his comrades. Even though they were all wearing night-vision goggles, he knew that they were looking behind him at this moment, waiting for… Azure Bird to appear.
"Azure Bird protected me and went to distract the black bear that was chasing us. I lost contact with her."
These few words seemed to have exhausted all of Xia Jinyuan's strength.
Everyone's pupils constricted violently. There was a look of great shock in the depths of their eyes.
"She sacrificed herself to protect the commander," said Xia Jinyuan.
The special forces soldiers clenched their fists again. Azure Bird! She was a female soldier who wasn't afraid of sacrifices and always cared about the big picture!
She sacrificed herself to protect the commander…
She knew Q King's role in the team too well. She knew how much hope the military had for Q King. She also knew… how much the Xueyu unit needed Q King to lead them!
That was why she took on the danger alone.
"Q King, come here."
Li Jinnian spoke. The corners of his mouth were pressed very low. His handsome face was like snow that had been frozen for 10,000 years. His cold gaze and his breath were cold. Although his expression was cold, there was fire in his eyes as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him.
Xia Jinyuan, who was covered in mud, didn't say anything and left with Li Jinnian.
He knew why he asked him to go over alone. He knew!
