Chapter 0006: Life and Death Crisis

A bullet whizzed by with a whoosh, directly embedding itself deep within the tree, its powerful kinetic energy carving out a massive hole in the trunk, splintering wood everywhere

Luo Zheng was surprised to take a closer look and found that the female soldier only had a handgun in her hand, with no cover available within a radius of five to six meters. If she were to go out, she would surely be shot. At least two enemies were hiding in the shadows three hundred meters away, which meant that the female soldier was completely trapped in a deadly situation

With a whoosh, another gunshot rang out, and a large tree was shot through, creating a big hole. Luo Zheng looked up and saw a person hiding behind the tree; it was the female soldier. Luo Zheng rubbed his aching abdomen, recalling the thrilling scene from earlier. If it hadn't been for the kick from the other party, he would have likely become a cold corpse.

Luo Zheng was about to respond when he suddenly noticed a gun extending from behind a tree three hundred meters away from the female soldier. Not seeing anyone, he thought to himself that it was bad news. Without time to explain, he shouted, "Be careful." As he spoke, he exerted force with his feet and lunged forward, embracing the female soldier who was just a step away and bringing her down to the ground.

It is unclear how much time has passed, yet the surroundings remain as peaceful and quiet as ever. Luo Zheng could not help but feel curious; had these people already run far away, making it rather amusing for him to be waiting here foolishly? With this thought in mind, Luo Zheng slowly leaned forward to observe ahead, only to suddenly see a handgun that had appeared before him at some unknown moment.

A bullet whizzed by, striking the ground right next to Luo Zheng; a moment's delay would mean certain death

Realizing this, Luo Zheng knew he had to take action. The enemy was more terrifying than he had imagined. With the death of the female soldier, his own demise was inevitable, let alone seeking revenge. The thought of revenge brought to mind the tragic images of his fallen comrades, igniting a surge of blood and energy within him. Spotting the advanced weapon lying on the ground nearby, he devised a plan. He picked up a stone and threw it at a large tree in the distance, then swiftly grabbed the gun from the ground and quickly concealed himself behind the tree.

With a whoosh, another gunshot rang out, and a bullet shot in from an unexpected corner, hitting the large tree. The tree was pierced through, and the female soldier hiding behind it lay flat on the ground, not daring to move, her face filled with fierce determination as she scanned the surroundings, as if searching for something

A bullet accurately struck a stone, causing the stone to be directly shattered into powder in the air

Perhaps it was the familiar language that alleviated the female soldier's concerns, or perhaps it was the standard soldier's uniform worn by Luo Zheng that instilled a bit more trust in her. The intense killing intent emanating from him softened somewhat, yet her hand gripping the gun did not move an inch. The muzzle remained firmly locked on the center of Luo Zheng's forehead as she coldly demanded, "Unit number? Name? Position?"

Who are these people lying on the ground? Each one is so formidable, the shooter hiding in the shadows is invisible, I don't know where they are hiding, or where they will shoot from next. The female soldier is no less impressive, managing to escape under the gunfire and even saving her own life. Luo Zheng thought with uncertainty, hiding behind a large tree and not daring to move.

A bullet struck the large tree with a loud bang. Luo Zheng, who was hiding behind the tree, felt the entire tree shake and was greatly alarmed. He quickly moved away and happened to see the female soldier anxiously signaling to him, seemingly indicating that he should throw the gun over.

Luo Zheng had no idea when someone had approached him, and he was filled with terror. Faced with the dark muzzle of a gun, he felt death for the first time in his life. He realized that death was so close to him, and his mind went blank. Hearing the faint sound of suspicion from the other party and seeing their hesitance to pull the trigger, his panicked heart calmed for a moment. Suddenly, he thought that the other person might be one of his own, and in his fright, he quickly said: "Don't shoot, it's one of us."

How could Luo Zheng not want to throw the gun over? Yet he had no confidence at all. The moment to fight desperately had arrived, and Luo Zheng's blood surged once more. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the fear within him, though his heart still raced violently. With a long howl, he forced himself to calm down, then suddenly threw his military pack aside and violently swung the gun in his hand towards the female soldier on the other side.

Fearful as he was, Luo Zheng clearly understood that he absolutely could not remain inactive; otherwise, he would undoubtedly face death. He looked up and found the cold-faced female soldier staring at him in surprise. With a bitter smile, he prepared to throw his gun, but suddenly recalled the terrifying marksmanship of the enemy lurking in the shadows. He wanted to continue using stones to create a diversion, only to realize that there were no stones left around him, and a wave of helplessness surged within him

Years of hunting experience have taught Luo Zheng that beneath a calm exterior often lies great terror. It is at such times that one must not be impatient. Luo Zheng took a deep breath, employing the hunting skills he had learned since childhood, blending himself into the surrounding environment, considering himself as a blade of grass, a tree. Gradually, his breathing became steady and prolonged, while his thoughts turned exceptionally calm and active

Almost at the same time the female soldier opened fire in retaliation, the spot where he had just taken cover was struck by three bullets in a triangular formation, sending dust flying and creating three craters in the ground. Luo Zheng, who was on the battlefield for the first time, looked on in horror at this scene and quickly sought a place to hide. After finding a safe spot, he realized that the female soldier had already vanished without a trace

Luo Zheng was taken aback, instinctively wanting to retaliate with his knife, when a cold, iron-like female voice rang out: "You can try, and see whether your knife is faster or my gun is faster." The words were spoken in an internationally recognized language, and a suffocatingly fierce and icy aura surged forth, causing Luo Zheng to feel his blood freeze, his body stiffen, as if all his strength had been drained, rendering him unable to move.

At that moment, a female soldier with a face full of grease paint slowly emerged from the other side of the large tree. Wearing a tactical bulletproof helmet adorned with dried grass for camouflage, standing at a height of 1.7 meters, her loose camouflage combat uniform could not conceal her impressive figure. Her hand gripping the pistol was as white as green onions, yet exuded a terrifying sense of power. Her eyes were as cold as ice, her face as frosty as winter, filled with a murderous aura. When she recognized Luo Zheng, her sensuous lips, tightly pressed, let out a faint sound of surprise, and her gaze towards Luo Zheng became more scrutinizing.

Luo Zheng stared in shock at the ground beside him, where a pit the size of a watermelon was emitting a wisp of smoke. A wave of fear surged in his heart, and a chill ran down his back, drenched in cold sweat, his body trembled uncontrollably. Those who have never experienced the battlefield can never comprehend its terror.

Luo Zheng moved forward a little, but could no longer see that person. With the enemy and friend unclear, he dared not act rashly. He tossed the gun aside; a gun he could not use was less reassuring than the machete in his hand. Gripping the machete, he hid behind a nearby large tree, patiently waiting. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind passing through the treetops, tranquil as if nothing had happened just moments ago

The female soldier quickly regained her composure, feeling both embarrassed and angry, and forcefully pushed Luo Zheng away from her. With a strange twist of her body, she kicked Luo Zheng in the abdomen, using her skill to send him flying several meters away, where he crashed heavily against a large tree. Taking advantage of the momentum from the kick, the female soldier swiftly slid several meters away while simultaneously firing her weapon, her movements clean and efficient, as quick as lightning, displaying an impressive strength that left onlookers astonished
