Wen Ziqing had never mentioned his fiancée before. If they weren't still on the retreat route, a bunch of young men would have swarmed over and tortured their captain. How could an eighteen-year-old boy have a fiancée? Hadn't they noticed that ninety percent of the older team members were single? The captain was definitely the envy of everyone!
Half a year ago, before Zeng Wenwei went to the battlefield, his wife was pregnant.
Zeng Wenwei was very much looking forward to the arrival of the rest period. He missed his wife and his daughter. A few days ago, Zeng Wenwei received a letter from home. The letter contained a photo of his wife and three-month-old daughter. The mother and daughter were smiling happily.
"My daughter's little face is really like a red apple. This time when I go back, I will definitely eat it..." Zeng Wenwei's words turned pale before he finished speaking. He shouted: "Landmine, everyone lie down!"
Wen Ziqing and the others reacted instantly and fell to the ground. A landmine more than ten meters away from Wen Ziqing exploded, blowing Zeng Wenwei and Xiao Jin into the air.
Immediately afterwards, mines exploded one after another around Wen Ziqing. The deafening roar and the cloud of dust weighed down everyone's attention, making it difficult for them to even lift their heads. Only Wen Ziqing, staring at the sudden, transparent glass cover before him, was filled with astonishment.
Yes, it was a transparent glass cover, a human-shaped transparent glass cover about twenty centimeters away from Wen Ziqing's body. At the moment of the explosion, a hot current flashed across Wen Ziqing's neck, and a transparent cover suddenly appeared beside Wen Ziqing, tightly covering him inside.
Was this why the little girl insisted on taking the jade carving with her? Suddenly, Wen Ziqing recalled the white jade that Zhou Yuanyuan had hung around his neck with such determination before he went to the battlefield. At that moment, only Wen Ziqing could see the jade hanging around his neck, radiating a brilliant light. This light radiated outward, forming a protective shield like a transparent glass cover.
No one knew how Zhou Yuanyuan had managed to do it, but after Wen Ziqing had the jade pendant draped around his neck, he tried several times to remove it, but couldn't break the red string that held it. Since the pendant was invisible to everyone, Wen Ziqing had no choice but to accept the "feminine" behavior of wearing it every day.
I didn't expect that there was a secret hidden in Zhou Yuanyuan's jade token. Was it because the jade token could protect him that the little girl told me not to take it off several times? Wen Ziqing thought.
The Vajra Talisman produced by Xiaoyu is of excellent quality. No matter how strong the shock wave of the explosion was, the light on the jade token did not show any sign of dimming. The protective shield protecting Wen Ziqing did not even tremble. The stones, iron pieces and other things that flew onto the protective shield were all splashed out as if pushed by an invisible big hand.
"Shit!" Wang Xuyang was lying on the ground about thirty meters away from Wen Ziqing, his body struck by the metal fragments that flew out of Wen Ziqing's glass cover. The warm sensation told Wang Xuyang that he was bleeding.
Wang Xuyang was right at the edge of a minefield, and he could have moved further away, to a safer area. However, seeing his long-cherished wish about to come true, how could Wang Xuyang just sit back and watch Wen Ziqing get blown to pieces?
However, Wen Ziqing, who should have been blown to pieces, was not hurt at all, while Wang Xuyang, who wanted to watch the excitement, was seriously injured. This made Wang Xuyang very panic.
Wang Xuyang estimated that at this moment, he should have been shot into a sieve full of holes by the iron pieces rebounding from the glass shards.
Wen Ziqing's face turned pale. Clearly, a team member had been scouting the road ahead, indicating everything was normal before they followed one by one. Why hadn't the scouting team member, Wang Xuyang, raised the alarm when there was such an obvious minefield?
Wen Ziqing saw it all clearly through the glass. After Wang Xuyang was injured, he didn't cry out in pain, but instead cursed. Why was Wang Xuyang's reaction so strange? Could there be a mastermind behind this tragedy?
In this scene filled with explosions and wailing, Wen Ziqing squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Xuyang, who was only one step away from the safe zone, with a cold look in his eyes.
Oh, right, this guy had just volunteered to lead the way, but what happened? He led everyone to a hillside covered in mines. If he knew that all this was intentional on Wang Xuyang's part, then... he would make Wang Xuyang regret coming into this world.
Seeing that the shield on his body could withstand the shockwave of the explosion, Wen Ziqing quickly stood up and rushed towards Xiaohu, who was lying beside him. When Wen Ziqing grabbed Xiaohu's hand, as expected, the glass shield expanded a little, completely covering Xiaohu.
Wen Ziqing was overjoyed and, following the same method as before, searched the entire hillside for any surviving companions. After a flurry of activity, the remaining ten team members, along with Wen Ziqing, walked out of the dangerous area hand in hand.
Zeng Wenwei and Xiao Jin, however, remained on that hillside forever. The explosion was so violent and sudden that Wen Ziqing and his companions searched several times but could not find their bodies. Only blood and shredded flesh remained on the ground.
Several people walked to Wang Xuyang's side. When they were about to walk out of the minefield, Wen Ziqing paused and signaled Xiaohu to reach out and pull Wang Xuyang up from the ground.
Before the matter was clarified, Wang Xuyang was still a member of the team, and Wen Ziqing would not let him lie here with his serious injuries.
After exiting the minefield, Wen Ziqing walked ahead to explore the way. After the explosion stopped, the jade token on Wen Ziqing's body had already withdrawn its brilliance, and the transparent glass cover outside Wen Ziqing's body had automatically dissipated.
The team members were all silent. Even Wang Xuyang, who wanted Wen Ziqing to die, was supported by a team member and did not make a sound.
Wang Xuyang was astonished. He hadn't expected Wen Ziqing to have an invulnerable glass shield. What was that? Was it the latest military technology? Why were the higher-ups so partial? Only Wen Ziqing was given such a valuable item? Could it be that the life of a second-generation official like Wen Ziqing was more valuable than that of a grassroots soldier like them?
Once he is safe, he will definitely report this discriminatory behavior by the higher-ups!
The other team members likely shared Wang Xuyang's belief that Wen Ziqing's glass cover was a new military technology. However, they were all grateful that Wen Ziqing had this equipment, which had saved them from disaster. After all, that hillside was rife with mines, and if Wen Ziqing hadn't intervened, they certainly wouldn't have escaped.
