"By giving Comrade Xiao Li a gun, Captain Ding, does that mean he now recognizes Comrade Xiao Li's marksmanship?"
Some gossipy warriors couldn't help but talk about it after seeing this scene.
"Didn't Captain Ding lose the two previous bets? He even did a total of twenty sets of extra training. How can we not approve of this?" A soldier took over, inevitably bringing up the previous bet again.
"I always thought Captain Ding would be unconvinced, but I didn't expect him to be so generous, huh?"
"Ahem!" Ding Cheng coughed a few times. "What kind of place is this? How can you still be so playful?"
Everyone: “…”
Everyone immediately stopped talking.
Ding Cheng led the team to the location told by Li Xin.
He really didn't care about these comments as much as before. After all, it was a fact that he lost. Now they were all fighting together on the border, and they were comrades-in-arms.
Of course he believes in his comrades!
When he first lost the bet, Ding Cheng was really unwilling to accept the defeat, especially after being punished by He Yubo, that unwillingness reached its peak.
The real change happened after He Beichen came back from the mission. After learning about the mission situation, he was indeed somewhat convinced of He Beichen.
When he was retaliated by He Beichen, although he hated himself for losing to He Beichen, he felt that He Beichen was quite manly in standing up for Li Xin.
However, what made Ding Cheng convinced of Li Xin was that the new gun she made completely changed Ding Cheng's mind. It was not that she didn't know about guns, she even knew a lot about them.
This time, Li Xin took the initiative to go to the border, which made Ding Cheng admire him very much!
Apart from anything else, the fact that she, as a woman, dares to come here is already very impressive.
…
Li Xin didn't know what was going on in Ding Cheng's mind. After putting away the pistol given to her by Ding Cheng, she went to have dinner.
The supplies on this side of the border are all transported from the troops. The amount transported at a time is enough for several days and is not delivered every day.
Moreover, the conditions for cooking were very limited, so dinner was very simple, just to fill the stomach.
However, it is a good thing that I can eat something hot at the border instead of having to chew dry food.
After dinner, Li Xin took the drone and continued searching at the border of Vietnam.
It was completely dark at this moment, so she flew the drone low and was not worried that the Yue State would discover it.
Thinking of the forest he saw when he came here, Li Xin found it difficult to feel at ease without seeing He Beichen.
Although Li Xin did not vomit when he saw that scene in the afternoon, his face was almost pale at that time. He was just worried that he would see He Beichen among those corpses, so he kept holding it in.
Although Li Xin also developed various weapons in his previous life, he lived in a peacetime. Apart from what he saw on TV, how could he have seen such a bloody real battlefield?
"Researcher Li, are you still looking?" At night, a soldier on guard saw her and greeted her.
They all looked at Li Xin with admiration, thinking that it was not easy for a woman like her to come to the border, but they didn't expect that although she looked delicate, she was so decisive in doing things!
"Let's look for it again. The enemy soldiers haven't given up their search yet, have they?" Li Xin responded with a smile.
"The border line is quite long and the area is so large, how can it be easy to find it? It's so late, Captain He and the others have probably found a place to hide and rest. Researcher Li should go to bed early and continue searching tomorrow morning." The soldier on guard advised her.
Seeing how hard Li Xin worked, they were quite worried that she would exhaust herself.
"Yes, Comrade Xiao Li, it's getting late. The soldiers on the border are ready to rest. Why don't you go back?" The young soldier following Li Xin also spoke up to persuade him.
He and another young soldier were tasked with protecting Li Xin. Li Xin sat here searching for the entire night, and they also stayed here guarding the entire night.
"Well... okay then."
Seeing that they seemed to be working very hard, Li Xin finally stood up and prepared to go and rest.
She took the drone back and had already searched most of the border area of Vietnam.
However, if she couldn't find He Beichen and the others from this perspective, then she thought the Vietnamese soldiers would definitely not be able to find them either. In terms of safety, she could feel more at ease.
The two young soldiers brought Li Xin to a small tent. Living on the border line had limited conditions. Apart from the built watchtower, there was no place to live.
There are houses in the center, but they are quite far away.
Most of the soldiers slept on the ground wrapped in sleeping bags. Although her tent was small, it was obviously set up specially for her.
"You guys are thoughtful." Li Xin didn't complain about the conditions and went in directly.
She was not picky about accommodation conditions. If she was a woman, it would be inconvenient for her to sleep on the ground outside. She could also do the same as those soldiers.
Li Xin lay down and rubbed his eyes. After staring at the receiver screen for a whole day, his eyes were indeed a little uncomfortable.
As she rubbed her body, she couldn't help but fall asleep. She was quite tired after that day.
…
The border is very quiet at night. Most of the soldiers are resting at night, and only a few are on guard and patrol.
"It feels like tonight is going to be another calm night." The soldier on guard couldn't help but yawn as he looked at the dark night.
Boom—Boom—
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, an explosion was heard in the distance, and the ground seemed to be shaking.
The young soldier on guard was startled and immediately woke up, looking in the direction of the explosion.
"What's going on?" The loud noise woke up all the sleeping soldiers.
When they heard the sound, they almost subconsciously went into a state of defensive combat, quickly picked up their guns and looked towards the source of the sound.
Some people were sleeping soundly, but they still took out their guns with their eyes closed.
"It's in the territory of Yue again, and there's another fighting over there!" Some soldiers who regained consciousness have already determined the direction by the sound.
Li Xin was in the tent and was also awakened by the explosion. He immediately ran out with the drone.
Many soldiers did not continue to sleep, but gathered at the watchtower, looking towards the Vietnamese border, but they could not see anything in the dark night.
But even in the daytime, it is impossible to see anything from such a long distance.
"What happened?" Li Xin hurried over and asked about the situation.
The soldiers who woke up after hearing the explosion were all confused. They could only guess that fighting must have started again, but they didn't know the specific situation.
On the watchtower, the sentry stood high up, looking towards the Vietnamese border through a telescope.
"Over there! The explosion should have happened over there, black smoke is coming out!" The soldier on the watchtower shouted, pointing to a place.
"Where is the black smoke? Why can't I see anything?" The soldiers on the ground stretched their necks but could see nothing.
Li Xin simply launched the drone into the air. When he heard the voice from the watchtower, he immediately controlled the drone and flew in the direction indicated by the soldier.
