Although Bai Mu is arrogant, he is still rational and knows the consequences of contradicting his superiors in the military.
So after being glared at by Captain Tao, he immediately subdued his arrogance. "No, Captain Tao, listen to me. This East Asian five-nation competition is about the reputation of the country. I think we should send more capable people to participate. What's the Yangcheng Military Region? I can beat several of them alone."
Captain Tao snorted coldly, "I don't care what you think. I care what I think. Sending the Yangcheng Military Region to compete this time was a decision from above. You're a soldier. You only need to obey orders. Don't worry about anything else."
"But Captain, what if they lose? Wouldn't that bring shame to the whole country?" Bai Mu didn't want to give up and continued to lobby Captain Tao.
"Bullshit! How do you know we're going to lose before the battle even starts? What you said is shaking the morale of the troops and is not conducive to unity. Believe it or not, I'll beat you with my belt?" Captain Tao was so angry that he even cursed.
"What if... I mean what if, Captain, think about it, this five-nation competition is a national-level event. The other four countries will definitely send their strongest soldiers to participate. We must at least send strong people to deal with it. How can those guys in the Yangcheng Military Region compete with the other four countries?" Bai Mu said with a smile.
Captain Tao frowned.
In fact, he was also very dissatisfied in his heart. It was obvious that the Beijing Military Region was not inferior to the Guangzhou Military Region in any aspect, but the qualification for this big competition fell on the Guangzhou Military Region. How could he accept this?
But this is the decision from above, what can he do?
Seeing that Captain Tao's expression had softened somewhat, Bai Mu immediately stepped up and said, "Captain, please try again with the higher-ups. I promise that if I'm allowed to compete, I will definitely help our military region win back this honor."
Captain Tao was indeed somewhat tempted. He rubbed his chin and said after a long while, "You stay outside. I'll call the higher-ups. But I have to say in advance that this may not work out, so you'd better not get your hopes up too much."
Bai Mu was ecstatic when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly in agreement and then left the office.
Five minutes later, just as Bai Mu was pacing anxiously outside the office, the office door was opened.
"Captain Tao, what did the higher-ups say?" Bai Mu asked impatiently.
"You're lucky, kid. The higher-ups have promised to give you a chance. As long as you can beat the soldiers from the Yangcheng Military Region's elite battalion, you'll get a spot in the Five Nations Competition." Battalion Commander Tao said in a pretentious manner, but the smile on his face was harder to suppress than an AK.
"Really? That's great." Bai Mu was very excited.
But soon he became conflicted again.
Zeng Jiajie and the others are his brothers, and they also come from an ancient martial arts family. When encountering such a good thing, he cannot just think about himself.
"Captain Tao, since the higher-ups have already given in, could you please talk to them and ask them to give Zeng Jiajie and the others another chance?" Even the usually arrogant Bai Mu felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
Captain Tao glared at him and said, "Don't go too far, kid. Do you think I'm a turtle in a wishing well? Who will grant any wish?"
"It's not Captain Tao. One request is also a request, seven requests are also a request. Besides, you know the strength of Zeng Jiajie and others. If they also get the quota, then most of the participants in this five-nation competition will be from our Beijing Military Region." Bai Mu continued to tempt.
"You kid...why didn't I know you were so talkative before?"
In the end, Captain Tao couldn't resist Bai Mu's constant nagging and called his superiors.
After saying all the nice things he could, he successfully secured the opportunity for Bai Mu and his seven companions to challenge the Yangcheng Military Region.
When he arrived at the Yangcheng Military Region, Bai Mu first found the people from the elite battalion.
Just as he thought, even among the elite troops of the Yangcheng Military Region, no one could be his match.
But during this period, Bai Mu noticed someone.
A man who looks rustic and has dark skin, but whose eyes are always full of determination.
In order to keep his place in the competition, this man gritted his teeth and said nothing even when faced with the extremely painful method of expanding his meridians.
His whole body convulsed in pain time and time again, and the floor was soaked with sweat time and time again, but this man still gritted his teeth and persisted, never giving up.
Until the final assessment, he relied on his terrifying perseverance to defeat Zeng Jiajie, who also came from an ancient martial arts background.
Bai Mu's heart couldn't help but be touched, and he felt strange emotions.
The emotions are complicated.
Someone was obstructing their participation in the Five Nations Martial Arts Competition, and Bai Mu should have hated that person.
But he really couldn't hate this resolute man.
I even have a little bit of admiration for him.
This was the first time he felt genuine admiration for someone who was not from an ancient martial arts family.
It was not until he later joined the special department Tianshu that that person became his comrade-in-arms.
"We will be comrades-in-arms from now on. Please give me your guidance. Let's get to know each other better. My name is Yuan Shugen." The man took the initiative to walk in front of him, stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
Bai Mu felt a little uncomfortable facing that person, but he still extended his hand.
"Although I lost to you once before, that was in the past. I will definitely catch up with you in the future." Bai Mu said arrogantly.
"Okay, I'll wait and see." The man grinned.
At that moment, two people who once disliked each other held hands tightly.
And now, it's right in front of me.
That person actually used his body to block the bullet that was meant for him.
At this moment, Bai Mu's eyes turned red involuntarily and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Why are you looking so sad? Weren't you very crazy before?"
After saying this, Yuan Shugen smiled sadly, closed his eyes, and could no longer hold on, and slowly fell down.
Plop!
The sound of a body hitting the ground was heard.
Only then did Bai Mu realize that in addition to the blood gushing from Yuan Shugen's chest, there were also wounds of various sizes on his body caused by bullets, which stained his combat uniform red.
“Don’t… don’t die…”
Bai Mu's face turned pale and he was completely panicked.
I was even at a loss, not knowing what to do for a moment, and stood there with trembling hands.
At the same time, Deng Huafeng finally pounced on the mercenary captain, and both of them fell to the ground together.
Deng Huafeng elbowed the mercenary captain and knocked him unconscious.
When I looked up, I saw Yuan Shugen closing his eyes and slowly falling down.
Deng Huafeng's originally excited smile suddenly froze on his face.
Is Shugen...dead?
No...impossible!
14 of the 20 mercenaries were eliminated, leaving only 6, but there was a machine gunner.
The scene just now made them a little stunned, but they quickly reacted.
6 people, 6 guns.
At this time, he aimed at Bai Mu and Deng Huafeng who were in a daze, and Yuan Shugen who was lying on the ground and his life or death was unknown, and pulled the trigger.
Ta-ta-ta...
