Chapter 342 I Can't Swim
"Chase them! Hurry up and chase them!"
The squad leader's expression changed. He knew this guess was correct; the action team was definitely planning this.
Now it's not just about stopping Han Shizhong and his men from reaching Hill 111, but about preventing them from going to their deaths!
"Captain Han, something's not right. It looks like there are pursuers behind us."
Hu Li spoke to Han Shizhong with a solemn expression.
Although he couldn't see anyone yet, he sensed that something was wrong.
Han Shizhong made a decisive decision: "Speed up!"
Now is not the time to linger in battle. Once they cross the river, the pursuers who are blocking their path will be powerless.
All seven of them started running, the whistling wind constantly brushing past their cheeks.
Now everyone has only one goal in mind: the river behind Hill 111.
After an unknown amount of time, the dense forest suddenly disappeared, replaced by a river over a hundred meters wide.
"arrive!"
A glint of light appeared in Han Shizhong's eyes.
But he quickly realized that the river was wider than they had expected.
The river surface shimmered, showing no sign of freezing.
The seven people stopped by the river, each with an expression more solemn than the last.
Although everyone had already agreed to this route, just standing here, one could already feel the bone-chilling cold of the river.
"Anyone who wants to give up can say so now," Han Shizhong said in an extremely serious voice.
Everyone's physical condition is different, and he would not disregard the safety of others for the sake of victory.
After asking the question, the first people to look at were Su Jin and Wu Mang.
Su Jin: "I have no problem!"
After she finished speaking, Wu Mang took out the kettle.
"It seems this bear blood will come in very handy."
Su Jin was both amused and exasperated, not expecting him to have made such a preparation.
Ding Zhu and Hu Li naturally wouldn't back down.
Meng Jiayi nodded without hesitation.
Finally, Han Shizhong's gaze fell on Zhao Niuniu.
Looking at the endless river, Zhao Niuniu's face turned ashen. He stammered, "I want to go with you, but..."
But as soon as those two words were uttered, everyone already knew his choice.
"I can not swim."
His voice was so soft as to be almost negligible as he explained.
Han Shizhong was at a loss for words to describe his feelings at this moment, his face extremely sharp. "Why didn't you tell us before?"
If this were a real battlefield, and the pursuers were real enemy troops, then Zhao Niuniu, who was left behind, would face certain death.
The others were also caught off guard; if they had known he couldn't swim, they probably wouldn't have made that decision in the first place.
But Zhao Niuniu didn't think that way. He didn't believe the whole team would change their plans because of him, and he didn't want to hinder the team's operations.
"I can stay behind and hold off the pursuers!"
It was as if he had mustered all his courage to finally say those words.
Anyway, it's just one person missing, it won't affect anything.
Now that things have come to this, even if Han Shizhong is angry, there's nothing else he can do.
"Zhao Niuniu stays here, the rest of you get ready!"
Before going into the water, all weighted equipment except for firearms and ammunition must be discarded.
"I'm ready!"
A moment later, Ding Zhu's voice rang out, followed closely by the others.
Wu Mang opened the kettle lid, pinched his nose, and forced himself to drink two large gulps while refusing to swallow.
