Chapter 181 Who Died

"Feiyu!"

Wang Changcheng leaped forward and caught the fallen Zhao Feiyu, then took his place without hesitation, frantically firing in the direction of the enemy.

At the same time, Gu Yanxiao had quickly adjusted his position.

Wielding a sharp dagger, he moved through the enemy ranks like a ghost.

Every pause they make results in the ruthless taking of a life.

The other party quickly realized something was wrong.

Why are the gunshots on our side becoming increasingly sparse, and many people have stopped moving?

Unfortunately, by the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.

When Gu Yanxiao took down the last person, the battle, in which the odds were heavily outnumbered, finally came to an end.

Looking at the last survivor he had knocked unconscious, Gu Yanxiao didn't relax at all. He tied the man's hands and feet, gagged him, and then collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

"Commander..."

The team members who rushed over all had tears in their eyes when they saw Gu Yanxiao covered in blood.

Even this group of tough men couldn't help but choke up at this moment.

Gu Yanxiao looked around, his expression changing slightly: "Where are Zhao Feiyu and Qian Fei?"

"Reporting to the commander, Zhao Feiyu and Qian Fei have both sacrificed their lives!"

Wang Changcheng spoke with a choked voice. He was also seriously injured, having been shot in the thigh, yet he still dragged his injured leg and fought until now.

"Sacrificed?" Gu Yanxiao's pupils suddenly contracted. Every soldier in their special forces team was brave and skilled in battle, and the country had spent countless efforts to train them.

But this time, two people were killed.

The casualties were devastating.

However, the mission is not over yet.

Gu Yanxiao raised her head, took a deep breath, and forced back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

Then he turned on his communicator.

As soon as I turned it on, Shao Zijie's voice came from the other end.

Gu Yanxiao asked, "Zijie, how are things on your end?"

"Commander, we have made contact with the target. He is currently one nautical mile from the coast."

Hearing Shao Zijie's words, Gu Yanxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

More than half an hour later, Shao Zijie and his group's boat finally reached the shore.

At this moment, the local armed forces finally arrived and saw that the experts had already been arranged to leave in military vehicles.

The injured were all put into ambulances, and Gu Yanxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

A doctor happened to be passing by and quickly reached out to help him.

This simple act startled the doctor, who cried out, "Comrade, why are you so cold? No, you're covered in...your own blood? Quick! Get a stretcher, this person needs emergency care..."

"I'm fine..." Gu Yanxiao looked at her two teammates who had been covered with white sheets, her eyes filled with grief. She wanted to say something, but the doctor pulled her firmly onto the stretcher.

He wanted to say something more, but he found that after lying down, he had no strength left to stand up. His vision went black and he passed out.

...

When Gu Yanxiao woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

He had barely opened his eyes when he saw the nurse who was giving him an IV drip running excitedly outside: "He's awake! He's awake! Doctor, the patient in bed number twenty is awake!"

Then, a doctor rushed over, examined him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, "Commander Gu, do you know that you lost more than 500 milliliters of blood this time, and you almost lost your life?"

Gu Yanxiao didn't let him continue and interrupted him directly: "Dr. Chen, how are my teammates?"

"You're asking about Wang Changcheng and Commander Shao, right? They're not in any danger, but it's you..."

What does "no danger to life" mean?

Gu Yanxiao keenly grasped the problem in his words.

"Wang Changcheng's legs are very likely to be crippled."

Dr. Chen and Gu Yanxiao were already quite familiar with each other, and since this matter couldn't be kept secret any longer, she simply told him the truth.

"As for Shao Zijie, he also lost too much blood and is currently recuperating in the ward next to yours, but..."

Dr. Chen frowned.

"But what?" Gu Yanxiao's heart tightened.

"However, he seemed a bit off, and kept insisting on being discharged from the hospital, saying that he had something important to do."

Dr. Chen spoke as he checked Gu Yanxiao's heart rate monitor and made records.

Gu Yanxiao nodded. He had noticed this when he met Shao Zijie, but at the time he was too busy to think about it.

"I'll go take a look," Gu Yanxiao said, getting up.

“Hey, Commander Gu, you can’t… Never mind, wait a moment, I’ll have someone bring a wheelchair in.”

Dr. Chen clearly understood that he couldn't persuade Gu Yanxiao, so he had a nurse bring a wheelchair and took Gu Yanxiao to the next ward.

When Gu Yanxiao entered the ward, she saw Shao Zijie sitting blankly on the bed, his eyes lifeless and his face full of grief.

They didn't even react when they heard someone come in.

"Zijie".

Gu Yanxiao called his name.

Upon hearing Gu Yanxiao's words, Shao Zijie's pupils dilated, and he looked at him. Then, as if he had thought of something, his face turned pale, and he trembled as he avoided his gaze.

"Commander... Commander..."

His body trembled, and his voice was hoarse beyond recognition.

"What happened?" Gu Yanxiao knew very well that something must have happened to Shao Zijie to make him look like this.

"Commander...Commander, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to your wife, I'm so sorry to my little sister, I deserve to die...I really deserve to die! Why wasn't it me who died...why..."

Upon seeing Gu Yanxiao, Shao Zijie felt a surge of emotions welling up inside him. He raised his only movable hand and slapped himself hard.

"Why! Why wasn't I the one who died?!"

Shao Zijie roared. From yesterday until now, this thought had been churning in his mind. He would rather be the one who died.

Don't live to face all of this now.

"Shao Zijie!"

Gu Yanxiao shouted, grabbing his hand and asking, "What happened? Who died?"

Seeing Shao Zijie's appearance, Gu Yanxiao felt a sense of foreboding.

He clearly remembered that no team members were lost on the ship that Shao Zijie and his group returned on yesterday.

So why does Shao Zijie look like this?

Why would you say you're sorry to him, sorry to Su Xiangwan, and sorry to Gu Yanfei?

"Commander..."

Shao Zijie's hand was grabbed by him, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at him: "It's...it's my sister-in-law's second brother, Su Xiangbei, Su Xiangbei...is dead..."
