Chapter 43 Peril at the Border, Life or Death Hangs in the Balance
The convoy traveled along the winding mountain road.
This is the northwestern border region of our motherland.
To the left is a sheer cliff.
To the right is a bottomless cliff.
The wind echoed through the valley like the wailing of ghosts.
It stirred up the snow foam on the ground.
It hit the car window with a loud thud.
Lin Jianguo sat in the passenger seat of the lead car.
His hand kept unconsciously rubbing the strange-looking "watch" on his wrist.
The watch strap feels a little cool.
But the parts that touch the skin.
Yet it subtly exudes a warmth.
That feeling was strange.
It felt like his daughter's little hand was covering his wrist.
"Platoon leader, 'Ghost's Bane' is just ahead."
The soldier, Xiao Wang, gripped the steering wheel tightly as he drove.
My palms were sweaty.
His voice also sounded a little strained.
"Ghost's Sorrow" is the most dangerous place on this section of the road.
The mountains on both sides are steep.
There is only a narrow dirt road in the middle.
It's an excellent position for an ambush.
Lin Jianguo squinted.
Through the dusty windshield.
He stared intently at the mountain pass ahead, which resembled the gaping maw of a giant beast.
That kind of intuition honed on the battlefield.
Suddenly, a barrage of warnings began.
The hairs on my back stood up one by one.
It felt like being targeted by a venomous snake.
"parking!"
Lin Jianguo suddenly roared.
Xiao Wang was startled.
Instinctively, I slammed on the brakes.
"squeak--"
The truck slid several meters on the snow.
It stopped just before the mountain pass.
Just the instant the wheels stopped turning.
"boom!"
A loud bang.
It exploded less than ten meters in front of the car.
Flames shot into the sky.
Pebbles flew everywhere.
The huge blast wave shook the truck, which weighed several tons.
If it had been just one second later...
The car was blown into the air!
"Enemy attack!"
"Everyone get off the bus!"
"Get cover!"
Lin Jianguo pushed open the car door.
It rolled into the roadside drainage ditch.
The Type 54 pistol in his hand was instantly cocked.
"Da da da—"
"Bang! Bang!"
A barrage of gunfire cascaded down from the cliffs on both sides.
Bullets rained down on the train cars.
A series of sparks flew up.
This was a meticulously planned ambush.
The enemy's firepower is very strong.
There are submachine guns.
There were even light machine guns.
They completely pinned the convoy down on this narrow road.
"Platoon leader! We're surrounded!"
The soldiers behind them also jumped off the vehicle and fought back.
But the enemy occupied the high ground.
We were completely on the defensive and taking hits.
Less than a minute.
Two soldiers were wounded.
Blood stained the snow.
It looked particularly glaring.
Lin Jianguo gritted his teeth.
His eyes were bloodshot.
This batch of equipment is extremely important.
That's the lifeblood of building large aircraft.
If it were left here...
Even if Lin Jianguo died ten thousand times, he still couldn't afford to pay for it!
"Squad leader! Take your men and seize the slope on the left!"
"Squad Leader! Provide covering fire!"
"Machine gunner! Suppress that damn machine gun!"
Lin Jianguo shouted commands as he spoke.
He poked his head out to shoot.
"Bang!"
An enemy who had just shown his face fell to the ground.
But the enemy's firepower was too intense.
A grenade exploded not far from him.
The vibrations made his ears ring.
My face was covered in mud.
"Platoon leader! We can't hold on any longer!"
"There are too many of them!"
"At least a reinforced platoon!"
Xiao Wang lay down next to Lin Jianguo.
He had a cut on his face from shrapnel.
Blood was streaming down his face.
A sense of despair was spreading.
This is a no-man's-land.
It will take at least two hours for reinforcements to arrive.
And based on the current firepower density.
They couldn't even last twenty minutes.
Lin Jianguo took a deep breath.
He touched his chest.
There lies the suicide note written to her daughter.
He touched the watch on his wrist again.
My daughter's little face seems to be right in front of me.
"Dad, come back."
"We need to bring candied hawthorns for Zhaodi."
Lin Jianguo's heart skipped a beat.
I must not die.
I can't die here!
I need to go back and hug my daughter!
"Oh shit!"
"Let's fight them!"
Lin Jianguo suddenly jumped out of the drainage ditch.
He had to draw enemy fire.
This gives the soldiers behind them a chance to counterattack.
"My grandchildren! Grandpa's here!"
Lin Jianguo ran.
He raised his gun and fired.
His movements were as fast as a cheetah's.
That was a body strengthened by the system's repair fluid.
It has amazing explosive power.
really.
He instantly drew the enemy's firepower.
All the gun barrels were pointed at this reckless madman.
"Da da da—"
The bullets were hitting his heels.
Just as Lin Jianguo was about to lunge behind a large rock.
An accident occurred.
On the mountaintop.
A sniper who is extremely well hidden.
He pulled the trigger coldly.
"call out--"
That shot was too tricky.
They predicted all of Lin Jianguo's landing points.
Lin Jianguo was in mid-air.
There was nowhere to turn for help.
He watched the bullet go in with his own eyes.
It carried the howl of death.
It went straight for his brow.
There's no escaping it.
There's really no escaping it now.
That instant.
Time seemed to stand still.
Lin Jianguo's mind went blank.
All that's left is a sweet little face with a smile.
“Zhaodi…”
"I'm so sorry, Dad..."
He closed his eyes in despair.
Waiting for the final darkness to descend.
However.
Just when the bullet was less than ten centimeters from his forehead.
Just as Death had raised his scythe.
The "ugly watch" on his wrist.
Suddenly, a blinding blue light burst forth.
"Buzz—!!!"
A deep and powerful humming sound.
The sound echoed throughout the entire valley.
Immediately afterwards.
A pale blue light curtain.
It looks like an inverted, transparent bowl.
They were instantly thrown apart with Lin Jianguo at the center.
"when!"
A crisp metallic clang.
That deadly sniper bullet.
It felt like I had crashed into an invisible iron wall.
It was three inches away from Lin Jianguo's forehead.
It came to an abrupt stop!
The bullet head is compressed and deformed due to its enormous kinetic energy.
It turned into a piece of scrap metal.
Then.
With a "thud".
It fell to the ground.
Lin Jianguo fell heavily to the ground.
But he couldn't feel any pain.
He just stared blankly at the deformed bullet on the ground.
He touched his undamaged forehead again.
I was completely stunned.
He's not dead?
What's going on?
What was that just now?
He instinctively raised his wrist.
All that could be seen was the originally black watch screen.
The red alarm light is flashing right now.
A line of characters he didn't recognize popped up above (although they were Chinese characters, he had never seen this font before).
[WARNING! Deadly kinetic strike detected!]
[Shield activated!]
Current energy remaining: 98%
Although Lin Jianguo couldn't understand those complicated parameters.
But he understood the blue halo.
Right now.
The halo was still faintly visible around his body.
It's like the Golden Bell and Iron Shirt from mythology.
They protected him very well.
"This...this is..."
Lin Jianguo's throat was dry.
My heart was pounding.
He thought back to before he set off.
My daughter's eyes were red and swollen from crying.
And that childish, babyish remark.
"This is a peace charm!"
"We mustn't pick them! We'd rather die than pick them!"
turn out to be.
This really is a peace charm.
It's a peace charm given by the gods!
His daughter saved his life!
"Platoon leader! Watch out!"
The soldiers behind them had no idea what was happening.
I saw Lin Jianguo fall to the ground.
I thought he had been shot.
One by one, their eyes were red as they rushed forward.
"Don't come any closer!"
Lin Jianguo suddenly sprang up from the ground.
He looked around at the bullets still raining down on him.
A sinister smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
It's like crawling back from hell.
He discovered that he had become the sinister grin of the King of Hell.
"Since God won't take me."
"So today..."
"It's time for you scum to die!"
Lin Jianguo did not dodge.
He stood straight in the middle of the road.
He let the bullets hit him.
"Puff puff puff!"
The bullet struck the blue light shield.
It stirred up ripples.
Then it fell helplessly.
It's like tickling him.
The enemy on the mountaintop was dumbfounded.
They all looked like they'd seen a ghost.
He even forgot to fire the gun.
"Is this...is it a human or a ghost?"
"Why can't I kill him?!"
"He possesses demonic magic!"
Lin Jianguo raised his wrist.
Looking at the flashing radar interface on the screen.
Although he had never used this thing.
But there are red and green dots on it.
Even a fool could understand it.
The green dot is him.
Those densely packed red dots.
It's these bastards who want him dead!
"turn out to be……"
"You're hiding here."
Lin Jianguo licked his chapped lips.
His eyes were as cold as the ice and snow on the Gobi Desert.
"Daughter."
"Dad will show you a special skill today."
"Let me show you."
"What does it mean for the God of War to return!"
