Chapter 6, The Avenger
There are too many strange occurrences in this forest; can you be certain that it is not a trap set by the other party
Did you not tell them about the strange occurrences in here? asked Lei Zhen
"Look at you all, swallow your food first before speaking," he said with a smile
"Why did your four comrades die, leaving only you alive?" Gou Changqing asked in a deep voice, for he despised those who abandoned their brothers to survive alone
Lei Zhen suddenly stood up and said: "One cannot stand by and watch someone die without offering help"
In the desolate areas of the night, even soldiers as well-trained as us do not dare to enter alone. Why would a girl appear here? Do you, as trained soldiers, lack even the most basic judgment?
They said, but these people do not believe it, claiming that they have guns and fear nothing
Brother, what is your name
That is because... because the class monitor said I was the youngest. At the time of the incident, they knocked me unconscious and hid me under a snow pile, covering me with their winter coats; otherwise, I would not have survived the cold. " At this point, he could no longer suppress the guilt in his heart, and large tears fell.
At that moment, the continuous howling of a wolf pack communicating during a hunt echoed through the dark woods, sounding much like the barking of dogs, interspersed with the terrified screams of a girl. We immediately became tense, and Lei Zhen unhesitatingly said to Scarface: "Give us a few guns to save the people."
"You will face the most severe retribution, and you will die without a complete corpse." The old sorcerer's face was almost twisted, and his pupil-less eyes suddenly roared forward. At the same time, the howls of wolves echoed through the forest, and it seemed we were already surrounded by a pack of wolves
Lei Zhen secretly said to us: "We need to find a way to get a few guns, Yue Jingang will not let us leave alive."
The big beard, in order to provoke him, deliberately cut a piece of raw meat from the wolf's leg, stuffed it into his mouth with blood dripping, chewed a few bites, and swallowed it, saying: "Where is your snowfield deity? Why don't you come out and punish me?"
"A good name, full of spirit. My name is Yue Jingang, and today I am introducing you to this friend of mine." He laughed coarsely and extended his right hand.
As the two individuals swallowed their mouths full of food, he raised his gun and unhesitatingly pulled the trigger at their heads, instantly causing their corpses to fall to the ground
"Alright, don't say I didn't help you," said the scar-faced man as he took out four daggers and threw them at our feet, saying, "With your exceptional flying knife skills, these daggers should be sufficient for your use."
Where are the subordinates that went missing here
I am not foolish enough to launch a suicide attack, but if you push us to the brink, then one can be exchanged for another
"In that case, why did you kidnap a soldier?" Gou Changqing asked
The scar-faced man was also accustomed to grand scenes. Although he was suddenly attacked, he showed no signs of panic. He firmly grasped the wild wolf's neck, preventing it from biting directly at his throat. Then, he steadily drew out his pistol and aimed it at the wolf's chin, firing a shot. Blood splattered everywhere, and the wolf instantly met its demise
A large wolf, with gray fur on its back and a snow-white belly, looked at the corpse of its companion. Although it bared its teeth and displayed a fierce expression, it soon turned and vanished into the dark area. Seeing the "leader leave," all the other wolves followed suit, and the intense battle between humans and wolves in the forest came to an abrupt end.
The old wizard shouted at us in anger: "You bloodthirsty minions of the God of Slaughter, you demons will face the most excruciating retribution"
The scar-faced man sneered coldly: "You have too high an opinion of these beasts"
"Good, you are a straightforward person." After saying this, he slowly stood up and said, "Rocky, White Horse, come over here." The two of them, with their mouths full of bear meat, mumbled indistinctly, "Boss, what is it?"
I did not expect that the soldier would really nod and say: "Indeed, it was he who saved me; otherwise, I would have frozen to death just like those four brothers." As he spoke, tears filled his eyes.
The man sitting next to me, Lei Zhen, suddenly stood up and charged towards the scar-faced man. It seemed he was preparing to seize the enemy leader amidst the chaos. I saw him rush close to the scar-faced man, leap into the air, and with a flick of his left hand, produced a gleaming silver dagger. I had no idea where he had hidden it during the body search earlier. The scar-faced man's previously stable expression finally showed signs of panic. He raised his hand to shoot at Lei Zhen, but it was ultimately a moment too late, as the gleaming silver dagger had already shot out from Lei Zhen's hand.
But what if it really costs a human life? We cannot be so reckless
The scar-faced man pulled out the dagger from the wild wolf's body, wiped it clean, and handed it to Lei Zhen Dao, saying: "Can I take it that this dagger is a special gift you have left for me?"
What exactly happened that day that made your class leader and the other three prefer to freeze to death on the spot rather than retreat
A bearded soldier spat at him and said, "Go to hell." After saying this, he drew a dagger and skinned the wolf that had killed the scar-faced man, then started a fire to begin roasting it. The old wizard knelt on the ground, heartbroken, repeatedly bowing his head and saying, "Oh, God of the Snowfield, forgive my incompetence; I am unable to stop the slaughter by this group of cruel murderers."
The old wizard chuckled ominously, saying: "You think you are powerful, but in the eyes of the God of the Snowfield, you are nothing more than ants."
With a single mournful cry of "Awu," Lei Zhen stood firmly on the ground, as the second wild wolf attempting to ambush him from behind the scarred face was pierced through the neck by the dagger in Lei Zhen's hand, firmly pinned to the earth
This bastard killed his two subordinates without hesitation just to establish his own dignity, and the cruelty of his heart is beyond my imagination. The bloody stabbing immediately took away my appetite, yet the scar-faced man acted as if nothing had happened, sitting down to continue eating meat and drinking wine
This is merely a child soldier, who fundamentally lacks the qualities necessary to become a soldier
As soon as the words fell, a piercing scream from a woman echoed clearly, and everyone heard it distinctly. At that moment, the old wizard suddenly seemed to be injected with adrenaline, laughing excitedly and saying: "Got it, got it, now everything is in place"
Thunderstorm
If we are but ants, then what is it that is being roasted on the rack? The bearded man deliberately aimed the golden-brown roasted wolf meat towards the old wizard.
Kidnap him? I believe your choice of words is inappropriate; the term rescue seems to be more fitting in this context. If you don't believe me, you can ask him.
Before the incident, we tracked a group of drug traffickers into the Baihezi area. Not long after, we encountered a group of people carrying a blood-red coffin. The squad leader said that this was a mountain spirit that should not be provoked, but the deputy squad leader insisted that we could not let these drug traffickers escape just like that. Therefore, we decided to continue the pursuit. However, for some unknown reason, after entering the forest area, we saw a line of bloody footprints and blood splattered on the tree trunks, which frightened us greatly. We initially intended to send the news back, but there was no signal on the radio. The five of us were so scared that we planned to retreat, but by nightfall, a white wind began to blow, making it impossible to travel. We then made a snowpack to shelter inside, thinking we would wait until dawn to leave. As a result, in the middle of the night, a wolf came in. Its face looked as if it had been hammered, with a long nose hanging down to its chest, covered in blood. We had no idea what was happening, only hearing the distant roars of bears outside. Later, I was knocked unconscious by the squad leader. When I woke up, I found myself lying beneath a layer of snow, covered with five military overcoats. Digging myself out, I saw the frozen bodies of four comrades. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do, just kneeling there motionless. Later, I encountered this group of people who brought me into the forest.
To be precise, he was once a subordinate; he is a traitor who betrayed all the members of this organization, putting my brothers in danger. Therefore, he must die. I dispatched three of my most capable subordinates to assassinate him, but unexpectedly, he discovered it. As a result, the two groups pursued each other to the location of the lily, but these three were ambushed, resulting in two deaths and one serious injury. The injured one managed to report the information to me, revealing that the traitor had bribed a drug trafficking group that opened a secret passage at the lily. He is now under the protection of this group. People like us, let alone a mere drug trafficking group, have never feared even the highest powers, which is why we came here to confront them.
Leizhen calmly shook his hand and said: "Can you now tell me the purpose of your visit here?"
The scar-faced man glanced back for a moment, then turned around with a pale face. He nodded slightly to Lei Zhen in gratitude. Suddenly, the old sorcerer erupted in a fit of furious screams, and the pack of wolves that had been attacking seemed to be startled by his voice, collectively halting their assault
He coldly said to his subordinates: "If anyone searches like them in a dazed manner in the future, the result will be the same. Remember this?"
Just a moment ago, I was smiling and chatting with these two people, and suddenly, he opened fire and killed someone. The stark contrast in his behavior shocked me, and I shouted in anger: "Are you out of your mind?"
You saved my life, we are brothers in life and death, this secret can certainly be shared with you, in fact, I entered this forest to find someone
