“You haven’t found it yet?”

He heard the whooshing sound coming from the sky in the distance.

Wang Ye, who had been lying on the ground and observing his surroundings through the scope, couldn’t help but be distracted.

He raised his head and looked at the helicopter in the sky.

To be completely truthful, Wang Ye was feeling a little tempted and a little jealous right now.

He didn’t want to just be an observer. Instead, he wanted to be a part of the operation and pursue the criminals.

Yes, it was both a soldier’s responsibility and an act of soldierly honor to safeguard the lives of civilians.

But there were lots of measures to safeguard people. He favored a different approach.

They went to the battlefield to capture their enemies and fight the criminals in the jungle.

However, reality didn’t give him a chance.

To be honest, at this moment, Wang Ye really wanted to be a scout.

If there were no accidents, the main force in this operation to catch criminals would definitely be the scouts of his regiment.

Perhaps there were scouts from the division on the helicopter.

Once the Air Force entered the battlefield, the protagonist would be the first to appear.

Wang Ye also yearned for such a life and such soldiers.

However, although he yearned for it, he definitely wouldn’t take the initiative to look for Wu Jian Feng and say that he wanted to leave the 4th Company to be a scout.

In order to make him fight against the Chief of Staff, Wu Jian Feng abandoned the recruits and the other good soldiers that he had personally trained.

He had even made arrangements with the regiment commander for his next route.

Wu Jian Feng did not take the initiative to recommend becoming a scout now, but he would not stop him if given the chance to do so.

“Boss… And… How long more!”

In a river in the middle of the forest, two heads emerged from the water.

It could be seen that both of their mouths were purplish-black from being poisoned.

Of course, they weren’t poisoned. Their lips just look like that because of how cold the water temperature was.

The rivers and springs in the mountains that had just emerged from winter were extremely cold.

They’ve been in the water for more than half an hour, and the fact that they can still talk now is actually a sign of their determination

Of course, in this pursuit of life and death, anyone who was afraid of death would become extremely determined.

This was brought about by his desire to live.

The guy known as the boss opened his trembling mouth and turned his head. His voice was also trembling as he said, “Don’t… Don’t panic…An… It was not easy to walk on the shore…They can’t catch up to us.”

At this moment, his words seemed to be really steady.

But in fact, he was just trying to act strong in front of his followers.

Just now, they had all seen the assault helicopters flying in the sky.

It would be strange if he didn’t panic under such circumstances.

To be honest, he no longer had the thought of running away.

The bulk of the enemy had actually arrived, and it appeared that they were soldiers.

The helicopter had been relocated here. In this circumstance, how could they get away?

He was already regretting it.

The piglet was in their possession at first. They might have had a better chance of surviving if they had fought with all their might and until their last breath rather than abandoning the piglet and fleeing since they might have taken the piglet as a prisoner.

However, they didn’t think too much about it at that time.

It was mainly because they were involved in illegal activities. They had always been vigilant and were afraid of being discovered by others. They were even more afraid of encountering the police and soldiers.

Moreover, there were so many soldiers on the other side, and everyone was armed with rifles.

They didn’t know that there were only four people who had bullets in their guns. They thought that all the soldiers had bullets in their guns.

He turned around and ran out of reflex.

After running for a while, it was too late for regrets.

They didn’t dare to go back and use the few pistols in their hands to snatch the piglet back from a group of soldiers as a hostage.

Wouldn’t that be a gift?

They didn’t dare to turn around, but the thought of taking a hostage occupied their minds.

In fact, since they dared to smuggle their way here, they must be very familiar with this place. They also knew that this river could lead to the outside world and even to inhabited areas.

He went down the river to find an opportunity to capture the hostage.

Threatening them with hostages to get them out of the country.

This was their plan.

It was also the only way they could see to survive.

Others, such as running out and pretending to be a commoner, would not work at all.

Those piggies knew them and they were pretending to be commoners. As long as they were stopped and taken a photo or brought the piggies over, they would be dead for sure.

He could only take the risk.

Of course, it occurred to him at this moment that there must be people looking for them everywhere out there, and even those villages and such must be inaccessible right now

However, they had no choice but to go around the village and see if they could catch any civilians who were working outside.

If it didn’t work out, he could think of a way to take the risk of catching a soldier or a policeman.

At this point, they did not lack ruthlessness.

After all, he would die if he were to be captured. He might still be able to survive if he tried.

However, imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

They knew that the waterway was easy to travel, and they knew that the mountain roads on both sides of the river were full of thorns, making it difficult for people to track them on the shore.

However, they had forgotten that the river was fixed, and there was more than one team chasing them.

They were up against an entire regiment, one that even had helicopters for transporting.

Another platoon of the police detective company that was touring the mountains and rivers was directly airdropped downstream.

And upstream, the people of the 4th Company were also patrolling along both sides of the river.

Therefore, after a while, the two heads that were exposed to the water were suddenly pointed at by dozens of guns that rushed out from the two banks.

“I’ve got my fire ready and have prepared everything. I was even prepared to send them a rocket when we met, but these guys disappeared without even meeting!”

On the chariot, the people of Class Five sat in the chariot again.

However, compared to when they came, the bus was much livelier now.

Half of them stood outside the car. They did not hold any weapons. They just stood there, enjoying the wind and the cows.

Of course, it was not bragging.

For example, Wei Qing Hai. Although he was usually a slippery person, Wang Ye believed that if he encountered criminals and gave them a chance, he would not be stingy with the 40 fire in his hands.

Take Wang Ye for example. Although he had never fired a shot at anyone, if any criminals really appeared in the sniper scope, Wang Ye would not be polite.

He didn’t have any psychological burden, at least that was what Wang Ye thought for now.

Killing a bad person was saving countless good people.

This was an act of virtue. Why would he be afraid of shooting?

However, he didn’t give her a chance!

“This is within expectations.”

“They were just a bunch of criminals who had not received any professional training. How far could they run in the deep mountains and forests when they were being chased?” Qiao Xuan said calmly.

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone and added, “In fact, if they managed to get in front of us, our regiment would be in big trouble.”

These words shocked everyone.

Wang Ye was also stunned, and then he thought of something.

Deng Hai had, in fact, managed to get away from the group’s grasp.

This time, these criminals could still run so far in the mountains and come to his place.

The group would still be frightened even if they were unable to harm the individuals and even ended up being slain by them.

The regiment’s scouts would at the very least be in trouble. They wouldn’t enjoy it, and neither would their company commander, chief of staff, or platoon leader. It would even be embarrassing for the entire unit.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

However, he was not silent for long. The platoon leader smiled and said, “Didn’t you catch him? Why are you saying this?”

After saying that, he smiled again, “Alright, everyone’s performance today was very good. You didn’t panic when things got tough.”

“Although we didn’t face the criminals, protecting the people is also a contribution.”

The platoon leader said with a smile, and everyone relaxed a little after hearing his words.

However, no one boasted like before.

Everyone was a member of the Iron Bones Hero Regiments. They would rise and fall together.

Thinking about the possible consequences of Qiao Xuan’s words just now, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. How could they continue to be so carefree so soon?

Of course, he couldn’t be so anxious all the time. After all, that didn’t happen, and now he was arrested.

Therefore, in less than two minutes, everyone in the car started laughing again.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, the entire company met up again.

Wu Jian Feng didn’t stop the car to say anything. After the entire company met up, they moved forward again.

He didn’t return to the regiment but drove back to the shooting range.

The 4th Company had brought out a cart of ammunition today. Because of this, they had gone out at the last minute, but there was still a lot of ammunition left.

Everyone continued with the training they had left off.

As for those criminals, no one in the entire Fourth Company had encountered them. This was destined to be a topic of conversation for everyone, an interlude during training.

“Hiss- Ouch…It hurts…”

In the evening, the 4th Company returned to the camp after using up a cart of ammunition. Peng Yu Han was screaming in pain in his dormitory.

Zhang Wen was helping him apply the ointment.

Guns felt good when they were used, but there were repercussions when it was too good.

For example, his shoulder was red and swollen from the recoil of the gun.

For example, Wang Ye could still feel his ears buzzing.

“Hiss ~”

Wang Ye gasped.

He didn’t need anyone’s help. Instead, he poured the ointment and applied it on his right shoulder.

Today, he had shot eight rifle magazines, two rocket launchers, and two sniper rifle magazines.

It felt good, but the pain was real.

“Hey, Wang Ye, come out…” At the entrance of the dormitory, the three seasoned soldiers who had run out just now returned.

However, Wei Qing Hai and Luo Yang had just walked in, while Zhuo Zi Cheng was standing at the door, grinning and shouting.

“Oh!”

Wang Ye raised his head and glanced at him. Without asking why, he stood up and walked out.

“Did something good happen?” Wang Ye asked softly as he followed him to the stairwell.

He wasn’t very reserved in Class Eight. After all, none of these veterans put on any airs with him.

“Mm, good news. Let’s go, I’ll bring you to have a good time!”

“All?”

Wang Ye’s footsteps paused slightly.

What did he mean?

“Alright stop standing there, just follow me!”

He pulled Wang Ye away.

After going downstairs, he walked to the side of the dormitory.

This was the smoking area shared by the four companies.

Of course, there was actually a smoking area in the dormitory. The corridor was fine.

However, Wang Ye was a recruit after all, and he was still in the stage of quitting smoking. Even if no one would say anything when they saw him, it would still be a bad influence, so he brought Wang Ye out.

Come, smoke one. Thanks to you, I won two packs of True Dragons today!” Zhuo Zi Cheng chuckled as he reached out and pulled out one from the box of freshly opened True Dragons.

He took the cigarette in a daze and looked at him in confusion, “What is going on?”

Wang Ye was a little confused. What did he mean by winning two packs of True Dragons because of him?

“Hehe Zhuo Zi Cheng laughed and immediately told him about the bet the three of them had made during Wang Ye’s shooting practice in the morning.

This made Wang Ye a little speechless.

Looking at the True Dragon Smoke in his hand, Wang Ye glanced around and said, “Why don’t we forget about it? I don’t usually smoke!”

“You’re not afraid of the picket, are you? Don’t worry, I’m here!” Zhuo Zi Cheng was all smiles as he reached into his pocket.

Then, under Wang Ye’s stunned expression, he helped Wang Ye remove the crutch from his shoulder. Then, he helped Wang Ye change into a pair of military ranks.

“You can rest assured now. Let me tell you, if you want to smoke in the future, just look for us to change your clothes.”

“It’s not a big deal. Just put on our clothes and come here openly to smoke!”

Looking at the different ranks on his shoulder, Wang Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn’t expect that he would level up just like that.

In less than a month, one turn had become two turns…
