However, what they didn't know was that this was done intentionally by the enemy.
And so, they were inexplicably chased by the enemy into the mountains and forests of western Hunan, and the comrades who had been separated were reunited.
They were just delivering some documents, so although they brought weapons, they had very few usable bullets.
This is also why they have always been passively driven away by the enemy.
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; they truly experienced that firsthand this time.
Although Mu Jingheng's appearance was a bit cringe-worthy, Mu Jinghuai was deeply moved.
Several of his comrades were wounded to varying degrees. The most seriously injured was shot in the chest. If it weren't for good luck, he would probably be a corpse by now.
Xu Xinning glanced at them and saw that Mu Jinghuai and his group consisted of five people, all of whom looked disheveled. Two of them were holding the one who had been shot in the chest.
Xu Xinning estimated that if they hadn't shown up, the person shot in the chest probably wouldn't have lasted much longer.
Mu Jinghuai's eyes welled up with tears; he had never felt that his younger brother was so radiant.
Mu Jinghuai: "You, what brings you all here?"
At this moment, Mu Jinghuai could no longer care about the issue of his brother's wife that his younger brother had mentioned. His grandfather had boasted to him about his brother having a woman he liked, and had even scolded him for a while, saying that he was not as capable as his brother and that he was too old to even have a girlfriend.
Mu Jinghuai was speechless at the time.
He's only twenty-one, isn't he?
What does it mean to be "very old"?
But now his unreliable younger brother has come to his aid with his fiancée.
It's called aid, but it's really about saving lives.
Mu Jinghuai knew very well that without Mu Jingheng and the others' appearance, they definitely wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.
Mu Jingheng then became more serious. "I accompanied Xin'er to Xiangxi to study medicinal herbs. We discovered enemy agents in the village where we were staying, and we also found an underground bacteria laboratory there. Xin'er and I accidentally rescued a few soldiers there, and that's how we learned about your situation. Xin'er and I knew that your situation was critical, so we came here. It was all intentional on the part of the enemy agents that you came here. They want the information you have and they want to get more secrets about this mission from you."
Mu Jinghuai and his group were extremely surprised. They had been wondering all along how they had ended up here, and now they understood.
Mu Jinghuai: "Thank goodness you came. Weren't you the ones who were throwing bombs behind enemy lines just now?"
Mu Jingheng nodded, then glanced at the man with a bullet wound in his chest and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go. There aren't many enemies left. Let's find a safe place to treat your wounds first."
Mu Jingheng pointed to the comrade with the chest injury, and seeing that he seemed to be unconscious, asked, "Can he still hold on?"
Mu Jinghuai: "The situation is very critical, and we don't know if there is a hospital nearby."
Mu Jingheng: "It's alright, Xin'er is here!"
Xu Xinning walked over, lifted the man's eyelids to look at him, took his pulse, and then quickly took out the Rejuvenation Pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xu Xinning: "We need to find a place to remove the bullet from his body immediately, otherwise the situation is a bit critical. I gave him some medicine to keep him alive for a while."
Mu Jingheng: "Let's go. The enemy has suffered heavy losses. They'll be even angrier once they recover."
Mu Jingheng knew they wouldn't have time to eat, so he took out hard-boiled eggs, oranges, steamed buns, and dried meat from his backpack and let them eat as they walked, while he and Xu Xinning stayed behind to cover their retreat.
Sure enough, the enemy caught up with them in no time.
Mu Jingheng seized the opportunity and threw another grenade. With a loud bang, the area behind finally fell silent.
Then they heard the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
Mu Jingheng: "Brother, you guys go ahead first, I'll go check on the enemy's situation."
Mu Jinghuai disapproved of Mu Jingheng's boldness. Although he didn't know how many enemies were left, he believed that they should take advantage of the fact that the enemy had been severely injured and get away from them as soon as possible.
In Mu Jinghuai's experience over the past two days, there were a lot of enemies, who seemed to appear out of nowhere and inexplicably surround them.
They've been soldiers for many years and have done countless missions. When have they ever been driven away like this?
This time, it left a really deep impression on them.
Mu Jinghuai: "No, you can't underestimate them. We've been dealing with them for several days, and we don't even know how many of them there are, but we feel that there are quite a few of them. It's too dangerous. We should try to leave the forest as soon as possible before they catch up with us."
Mu Jingheng actually wanted to use the space to kill the rest of the people so that he wouldn't have any worries about the future.
Besides, after their recent battle, Mu Jingheng had a good idea of their numbers. He estimated that after the grenade he just threw, there should be only a handful of people left, so dealing with them shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Mu Jingheng: "Trust me, we already know how many of them there are. It's okay, don't worry."
Mu Jinghuai wanted to stop him, but Xu Xinning immediately said, "I can go with him. If we're lucky, we can catch someone and ask them what's going on. That way, we can ensure our safety on the road ahead."
Mu Jinghuai looked at Xu Xinning in surprise, his mouth agape, unsure of what to say.
Another comrade immediately said, "Why don't I go with Comrade Mu?"
Mu Jingheng thought for a moment and said, "Let Xin'er go. We'll work together better. Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman; her abilities are no less than yours."
Mu Jinghuai's lips twitched.
Can he believe it?
His sister-in-law, whom he was meeting for the first time, looked like the kind of delicate woman who had been pampered. He was already quite impressed that she had come to this mountain with his brother. How could he let her take such a dangerous risk?
Mu Jinghuai wanted to suggest that it would be better for the brothers to go together, but before he could respond, the two had already walked a distance away.
This speed left the others somewhat dumbfounded.
How could it be so fast?
"Company Commander Mu, who are your brother and sister-in-law? They're quite capable!"
"That's incredibly fast! I've never seen anything like it before. Company Commander Mu, your brother and sister-in-law are quite something!"
Are they soldiers too?
Mu Jinghuai knew Mu Jingheng's identity, but he wasn't sure if he could tell him, so he vaguely said, "My brother was an educated youth sent to the countryside, and my sister-in-law is a medical student."
"Educated youth? If you didn't say so, we would have thought you were soldiers from the special forces."
Aren't they special forces?
Mu Jinghuai thought to himself.
Mu Jinghuai was also surprised by the two people's abilities, especially Xu Xinning. At this moment, he finally felt a little relieved and breathed a sigh of relief as he led the people down the mountain.
