"I won't leave." Zhang Jian became excited: "If we have to die, let's die together."
"Listen, Zhang Jian, you're still young." Xiao Gucheng said in a deep voice, "We Canglangs must leave roots. We can't all die here."
"If anyone has to leave, it should be you. We can all die, but you can't. You are the soul of Canglang. Without you, Canglang will only exist in name." Zhang Jian gritted his teeth.
"Listen Zhang Jian, as early as eighteen years ago, I was already a walking corpse."
Xiao Gucheng grabbed Zhang Jian and said, "I lost my child. Although I have never given up looking for him for so many years, he can't be found."
"I have no face to see your sister-in-law. My best destination is to die outside."
"No..." Zhang Jian wanted to refute.
But from the woods in the distance, more than ten birds jumped out in panic and flew away in all directions.
"They are coming, get ready to fight." Xiao Gucheng's expression changed and he drew out a dagger with his backhand.
Zhang Jian also entered combat mode in a second. He pulled out a gun and followed.
In the woods, several short mercenaries wearing military green camouflage came up.
There were six of them, forming a tight formation, their sharp eyes fixed on the surroundings.
As soon as there is any sign of trouble, the formation will change immediately and the six submachine guns will point in one direction at the same time.
Suddenly, one of them kicked over a stone.
As a mercenary, he instinctively sensed the crisis.
When he looked up, a sharp wooden stake, sharpened and coated with venom, flew towards his head.
Puff... The mercenary's right eye was pierced, and he fell to the ground without a sound.
The leading mercenary shouted in Southeast Asian, and the remaining five quickly dispersed and stood guard.
However, as they were dispersing, one of them tripped over a steel wire as thin as a hair.
Bang, a booby trap popped up.
"Get down..." The leading mercenary roared in Southeast Asian and quickly lay down.
Boom...half of the nearest mercenary's head was blown off.
Another mercenary who didn't have time to dodge was covered in blood and wailing on the ground.
"Group Six has spotted the enemy, spotted the enemy, requesting reinforcements..." The mercenary captain lay on the ground, yelling into the walkie-talkie.
Then his teammates fell one after another, and then there was a gunshot, and the walkie-talkie in his hand was hit.
He quickly rolled onto the lawn on the side, holding his head and curling up into a ball.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement around him.
He opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a tall man standing in front of him.
The mercenary quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist. He was born in the Delta and had been to the battlefield. After retiring, he gathered a group of comrades and became mercenaries.
His reaction was also extremely fast, from drawing the gun to aiming, all in one go.
He had absolute confidence in defeating the opponent because he had achieved perfect marks in shooting in the army.
However, Xiao Gucheng just looked at him quietly. The moment his hand was on the trigger, the dagger in Xiao Gucheng's hand swung down.
Hiss...blood splattered everywhere.
Half of the mercenary's hand and the gun fell to the ground.
He staggered back a few steps, his mouth wide open as he let out a scream.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Gucheng attacked him with another knife.
He plopped to the ground, his eyes wide open.
He never understood until his death why someone's knife was faster than his gun.
"Captain..." Zhang Jian ran over, breathing slightly. Seeing an injured mercenary still struggling, he shot him dead with one shot.
"Collect useful supplies and move immediately." Xiao Chencheng looked tense.
The other party had already passed the message before he died, and a large number of mercenaries would rush over soon.
These mercenaries are nothing compared to the aliens hidden among them; they are the most troublesome.
"But if we go further in, we will reach the Devil's Pond," said Zhang Jian.
Xiao Gucheng frowned. The Devil's Pond was a place that none of the locals dared to set foot in. It was deep in the rainforest and was also the most terrifying place.
"Move first, then make plans." Xiao Chencheng said in a deep voice.
Zhang Jian nodded, quickly collected supplies, and then retreated.
Chenhai Technology, office.
Xiao Chen has been a little more diligent in coming to the company recently, and has organized several meetings. The company's management and front desk staff all know Xiao Chen.
"Mr. Xiao." Early in the morning, a girl knocked on Xiao Chen's door.
"Come in." Xiao Chen was looking at some information and spoke without even raising his head.
As the door opened, a girl walked in. She was wearing a burgundy, professional, slim-fitting black suit jacket, which outlined her tall figure with smooth and neat lines.
She wore a white shirt with a slightly open collar, revealing her slender neck, adding a sense of casualness and confidence.
She wore a narrow skirt of the same color, which was just the right length to show off her long legs.
She wore black high heels, and each step she took was firm and calm. Her hair was neatly tied up, revealing her smooth forehead, and a few strands of hair naturally fell on her cheeks, adding a touch of softness.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm Xu Nian, the assistant to Vice President Xiao. Mr. Xiao has something that I'd like to ask for your approval." The girl approached Xiao Chen and placed several documents in her hand on Xiao Chen's desk.
She deliberately shortened the distance between herself and Xiao Chen, and a few strands of her hair fell casually on the back of Xiao Chen's hand.
And being so close, the breath she exhaled and the fragrance on her body were enough to make any man's heart flutter.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but look up at her, and happened to meet a pair of soft eyes.
After glancing at the documents in his hand, Xiao Chen closed the file.
"Mr. Xiao, this is a cake I made myself. You can try it if you don't mind." Xu Nian smiled playfully and stretched out his hands behind his back.
A very delicate and small cake was placed on Xiao Chen's desk.
The strawberry bear design exudes the fragrance of cream and looks very appetizing.
"Did you make this yourself? It looks pretty good." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"If Mr. Xiao likes it, I can make it for you every day, or you can come to my house after get off work. It tastes better if it's freshly made." Xu Nian's voice was sweet and a little shy.
I believe no man can refuse such a blatant hint, right?
Xiao Chen couldn't help but glance at her, and she winked at him.
"Sweets are difficult to digest. I'm afraid I can't enjoy them." Xiao Chen's words made Xu Nian's smile freeze.
Xiao Chen pushed the information and cake in his hand back: "Also, I just looked at these materials, and there are a few problems."
"Please point out the problem, Mr. Xiao, and I'll go back and revise it." Xu Nian calmed herself down and lifted her hair, looking very charming.
"Let your Vice President Xiao report to me in person." Xiao Chen said.
"Mr. Xiao, our Vice President Xiao said that I am fully responsible for this batch of documents." Xu Nian was stunned.
