Two figures slowly approached.
"Why are there two women?" Deng Zhenhua asked in surprise as he looked at the approaching people from afar.
"How do you know it's a woman?" Shi Dafan looked at him in bewilderment. At this moment, he could only see two black figures and could not see the other person's appearance at all. How did he determine the other person's gender?
Deng Zhenhua's answer left Shi Dafan speechless: "Didn't you see they have slim waists and big hips? You can tell just by their figures!"
"Don't talk," Chen Pai said softly, stopping the two from their inappropriate chatter.
Soon, the person arrived, and from the darkness, a deep and magnetic female voice asked, "Who is Gray Wolf?"
"Yes, I am... are you an intelligence officer?"
"I am Xia Lan, an intelligence staff officer of the border defense force, and this is my assistant."
"Hello."
"Let's go! There are still 30 kilometers of mountain road to go."
Thirty kilometers?
"What? The special forces can't even cover 30 kilometers of mountain road?"
"It's not that we can't do it, it's that we're afraid you two can't."
"Whether you can do it or not, we'll see on the battlefield. Let's go!"
Listening to Gray Wolf and Xia Lan's serious conversation, Li Ling couldn't help but laugh. These guys are all movie stars!
If he hadn't known the plot clearly, he probably would have been kept in the dark as well. But now he was just going along with the team with the mindset of playing along.
These days, if your acting skills aren't up to par, you won't be able to make a living.
"Whether we're up to it or not, we'll see on the battlefield. Oh dear... these women nowadays..." Deng Zhenhua and Shi Dafan followed behind the group, and started chatting idly as usual.
Shi Dafan teased, "She's not your ostrich woman, what are you afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Deng Zhenhua chuckled and said, "What am I afraid of? I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it."
Hearing the two men whispering behind him, Geng Jihui couldn't help but turn around and glare at them fiercely: "If you say another word, I'll shoot you both. Get out of here!"
Deng Zhenhua and Shi Dafan shrank back, no longer daring to utter a word.
Chen Pai and Geng Jihui formed a command team; they were the captain and deputy captain of the squad, so they dared not take Geng Jihui's words lightly.
When they arrived at their destination, it was already dawn. The newbies were nervous and exhausted after traveling all night. Their spirits were low and their vigilance had dropped considerably.
Suddenly, a thick plume of smoke rose near the area where the group was lying in ambush. Gray Wolf's expression changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously in a low voice, "Ambush! Move closer and retreat! We've been ambushed!"
Xia Lan asked, puzzled, "What happened?"
"Your informant has gone wrong. We've been betrayed. Radio operator, call immediately. We need to get to point U."
"Yes, the wolf's den, the wolf's den..."
The newbies, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, were somewhat at a loss. They followed the veterans in a chaotic dash, which triggered a tripwire in the forest. However, the tripwire was not a lethal explosive, but rather released a large amount of thick smoke containing ether.
Unsurprisingly, everyone fell unconscious, including Li Ling. Although he knew this was going to happen, he had no intention of interfering.
If he ruins such a big scheme that the veterans have set up, who knows what other ways he might come up with to get back at them!
Since I'm going to join the special forces anyway, I'll have to pass the loyalty test sooner or later. Rather than letting the veterans use new methods, I might as well let them use the methods I'm familiar with. That way, at least I can still control the situation.
When Li Ling woke up, she found herself in a car with her eyes covered by a black cloth and a hood over her head. The car was swaying and she didn't know where she was going.
When they arrived at the location and the hoods were removed, he found that everyone was in a place that resembled a prisoner-of-war camp. All around him were people carrying automatic rifles, wearing green uniforms, and with black hoods over their heads. This was the standard attire of bandits.
In the middle is a wide open space with wooden stakes for binding people, a glass water tank, and a cement torture platform. Next to the open space are several cells enclosed by barbed wire, and to the right is a wooden hut.
The group was driven to the center of the open space, where the bandits suddenly turned on the soldiers, swinging their rifle butts and beating them mercilessly until the soldiers were dizzy and in excruciating pain.
Li Ling was prepared. As he approached the open space, he tensed all his muscles, ready to take a beating.
"Ugh..." Li Ling covered his head and face with his arms and curled up as much as possible to protect his abdomen, ribs, chest and other parts that were easily hit and could cause serious injury, while only exposing his back, arms and legs and other parts that were more resistant to being hit to the bandits.
Even so, Li Ling felt a pain that fueled his anger, and he secretly resolved that he would take revenge whenever he had the chance.
He was determined to make those damn border guards suffer the same treatment he had received back then. After all, it was just training, and they weren't really going to kill him. He would just use some dirty tricks to get revenge on them. At the very least, he would get his revenge for the beating he had taken.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and the bandits stopped beating the soldier. Everyone turned to look and saw a bandit wearing an eyepatch standing at the door of the wooden house, holding a pistol in his hand.
The following plot is not much different from the original drama. Due to a slight loss of composure, the ostrich is subjected to special treatment by the bandits. Xia Lan's assistant is shot, Xia Lan is dragged into the wooden house and is suspected of being insulted, the gray wolf's hands are suspected of being smashed, and the hyena is shot...
Under the leadership of Chen Pai and Geng Jihui, the rookies renewed their military oath in the prison cell, and none of them compromised with the bandits.
"Now it's your turn. Tell me your names, units, and commanders!" After shooting Coyote, the bandit leader pointed his pistol at the rookies and roared.
"Loyal to the motherland! Loyal to the people!"
"Very good, not bad." The bandit leader roared, then walked to the edge of the cell with a gloomy face, pointed at Li Ling and said, "You, Private, come out."
Immediately, two masked bandits stepped forward, opened the cell door, and tried to drag Li Ling out. Li Ling, his face filled with panic, cried out to the bandits:
"Wait, I'll tell you everything you want to know, just please stop hitting me. I'm only eighteen, I'm still just a child!"
The veterans, rookies, and the gang leader all changed their expressions. In a nearby monitoring room, Captain Gao suddenly clenched his fists.
