"Those with bullets still in their guns, stay behind to cover the rear. K1 and K3, stay hidden and be prepared for assassination. The rest of you, take Comrade Gu Wencheng and Comrade Gu Jingyan and run straight ahead. There are people waiting for you. Hurry."

As Huo Haocheng finished speaking, Bai Sirui and Ruan Shaoke switched places with the others and quickly hid themselves.

After such a long period of training, and with their air force backgrounds, Bai Sirui and Ruan Shaoke have better eyesight than the others. Now that it's nighttime, it's the perfect opportunity for them.

With the cooperation of their teammates, the two men used their agile skills to move back and forth using the surrounding trees, taking down many of the men at the forefront, including two enemy officers.

Unfortunately, there were too many enemy soldiers, and they had run out of bullets. They could only pull out daggers from their legs, prepare for close combat, but this greatly increased their danger.

At this moment, Bai Sirui and Ruan Shaoke were hiding in a tree in front of the enemy. Seeing that they were about to be surrounded, the two looked up at each other, took a few breaths, and jumped down at the same time. After grabbing the enemy's neck, they quickly hid behind a tree. But even though they were quick, Ruan Shaoke was still shot in the leg.

"Well"

After he took cover, his wounded leg slammed into a nearby rock, causing him to groan in pain.

It was this sound that alerted his enemies, who all turned around and approached him.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Ruan Shaoke gripped the dagger in his hand, preparing to die with them.

Not far from him, Bai Sirui, seeing his lover about to die in front of him, also bent down, ready to pounce like a hungry wolf.

At the critical moment, two bullets pierced the sky, and with two cries of "Ahhh!", the person closest to Ruan Shaoke fell to the ground.

Then, with a burst of gunfire, all the enemies surrounding them fell to the ground.

After "Shaoke" was out of danger, Bai Sirui came to Ruan Shaoke's side immediately. After checking his injuries, he immediately sprinkled some hemostatic medicine on his wounds and carried him on his back.

After getting the gun, Ruan Shaohong came up behind them and covered their retreat.

With weapons in hand, and with the addition of Ruan Ruan and Huo Haojie, the enemy at the forefront were all taken down. Ruan Ruan and Huo Haojie also seized an opportunity to kill the enemy leader. This slowed down the enemy's pursuit and gave them time to retreat.

"Put me down quickly!" Ruan Shaoke, who was being carried on Bai Sirui's back, noticed the unusual condition on Bai Sirui's arm not long after he started running. His injury was on his leg, so it was impossible for the blood to flow onto his arm. The only explanation was that his arm was injured.

But this person not only didn't apply medicine to me, but also carried me on his back the whole time. Doesn't he know how dangerous that is? What if he can't handle a gun anymore?

"Bai Sirui, I told you to put me down."

He knew he had heard him, but he kept walking forward, completely ignoring him, which made him very anxious and heartbroken. Without thinking, he leaned back.

Ruan Shaohong, who had been following behind them, saw this and immediately helped Ruan Shaoke off Bai Sirui's back.

Just as Ruan Shaohong was about to ask him what was wrong, he heard Ruan Shaoke yell at Bai Sirui, "Do you still want your arm? I'm injured, not crippled. I can still walk by myself. If it really doesn't work, I still have my older brother, younger brother, and these comrades-in-arms. I don't need you to sacrifice an arm to save me."

Startled by Ruan Shaoke's shout, Ruan Shaohong noticed that Bai Sirui's arm was bleeding. Bai Sirui was also brought back to his senses by his wife's shout.

He was also frightened by Ruan Shaoke's injury, and he only had one thought in his mind: he must take him back. He couldn't stop because there were still pursuers behind them, which is why he was able to ignore what Ruan Shaoke said.

At this moment, everyone was still not safe, so Ruan Shaohong didn't say much. He handed the person in his hand to Ruan Shaoke, then carried the person on his back and walked forward.

Seeing this, Huo Haocheng, who was following behind them, also pulled Bai Sirui up and followed.

As they drew closer to the border, the enemy behind them slowed their pursuit.

"Quick, everyone get on the boat!" When they reached the seaside at the border, A-Jie, who had come with Ruan Ruan to pick them up, steered the boat to the shore as soon as he saw them running towards him.

After boarding the ship, Ruan Ruan examined the injuries of Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui. The two were quite badly injured, one with a leg injury and the other with an arm injury. "The bullet needs to be removed immediately. We can't perform surgery on the ship right now. You two should rest for a while and we'll remove it when we get there."

After briefly explaining the situation to them and confirming that there was no bleeding, I went out to find Uncle A-Jie.

When Ruan Ruan returned, Huo Haojie had already arranged food for everyone.

When Ruan Shaohong saw them return, he asked curiously, "Little sister, can we ask who that uncle outside is? Also, why did you suddenly appear here?"

“You can call the guy outside Uncle Jie. He’s someone my master saved and someone he left for me in S country. As for why we’re here, it’s because we were worried about you and came to check on you.”

Ruan Ruan knew that everyone was curious, but there were some things that she couldn't explain to them, so she didn't need to say more. She just hoped that everyone could return home safely.

After explaining, Ruan Ruan looked at Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui again. They were truly a couple who had gone through thick and thin together. "Second Brother, Commander Bai, we'll go to Grandpa Ming's place in a little while and then we'll perform the surgery on you."

"Grandpa Ming is an elder in Uncle A-Jie's family. He lives with only one child, A-Hao, in the mountains. So, when we get there, there won't be enough room for so many of us. You'll all need to make your own fires outside to keep warm. Everyone, please eat something quickly. We'll leave immediately after the surgery so as not to cause them any trouble."
