Chapter 521 Holding On with Willpower
Yang Jianxin could understand their feelings. After all, the 1st Company was the vanguard company of the 2nd Regiment. A company that could be the vanguard must be strong. But that was the reality.
“I’m not mistaken. On the first day of the exercise, they encountered a minefield set up by the Blue Army and were wiped out there.”
His words conveyed a sense of regret for the First Company, and a deep impression he had of them.
After all, this is the first time in history that a company has suffered such heavy casualties on the first day of the exercise.
Zhuo Lanyu felt her blood rushing to her head, and she felt dizzy.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Subconsciously denying it, unable to accept this fact at all.
Looking at her pale face and unsteady appearance, Yang Jianxin realized the unusual nature of her relationship with the First Company.
"Comrade Zhuo Lanyu, are you alright?"
With Jin Xiaoqing's support, Zhuo Lanyu barely managed to stay upright.
"What about Zhou Zhenxing? Where is he now?"
Her voice trembled violently as she thought of Zhou Zhenxing's ambitions before the exercise began, and how heartbroken and sad he must be now!
Yang Jianxin quickly said, "The people who were eliminated from the 1st Company came out that day, but I didn't see Company Commander Zhou."
Zhuo Lanyu grabbed his arm, as if her hope had been rekindled. "You mean he's still on the battlefield?"
Yang Jianxin gave an affirmative answer, "It should be."
If Zhou Zhenxing couldn't handle such a huge blow, it's possible he would return directly to the military region.
But he absolutely dared not say this to Zhuo Lanyu, lest she be further agitated.
Jin Xiaoqing also tried to comfort him, saying, "Company Commander Zhou is so capable. Even if he's the only one left in the 1st Company, he will definitely hold on until the very last moment of the exercise."
"Is that so?" Zhuo Lanyu was truly at a loss.
Jin Xiaoqing and Yang Jianxin nodded together.
However, both men looked equally somber. As the forwards, the First Company had been wiped out without even fighting a single battle against the Blues, which was already a major mistake.
Even if Zhou Zhenxing remained on the battlefield, how could one person possibly complete the charge mission of an entire company?
Zhuo Lanyu was completely disoriented and didn't know how she got back to her resting tent. Her heart was clenched with pain, and all she could think about was Zhou Zhenxing, who was still on the battlefield.
At this moment, Zhou Zhenxing's face was covered in mud and dirt, and he was no longer recognizable as he originally was.
His physical strength had long been exhausted to the limit, and he was only holding on by willpower.
Over the past seven days, he has suffered unprecedented physical and mental torment.
He even considered withdrawing from the exercise and questioned whether he was suitable to wear the military uniform.
He even felt that it was his own flawed plan that led to the annihilation of the entire company!
Through repeated breakdowns, he gradually solidified a belief.
No one in the 1st Company will sacrifice in vain. Even if he is the only one left, he will continue to complete the previous plan and carry out the decapitation operation against the Blue Army!
He searched desperately for the Blue Army's highest command post, working tirelessly for seven days and visiting almost every marked location on the map.
He couldn't even remember how many times he was discovered by the Blue Team and narrowly escaped death.
When he saw those few tents, barely visible, hidden at the very edge of the forest, it was as if he had finally seen hope.
