Chapter 499 You Don't Understand
Night falls.
When Lu Dong saw that the 3rd Company, which had less than half its original strength, was left, his face turned ashen.
This is only the first day of the exercise, and the losses are already so heavy. The final result is likely that the entire 3rd Company will be wiped out.
This is absolutely unacceptable to him!
A suffocating atmosphere hung over the company.
"Company commander, what should we do next?"
Liu Tielong, the class monitor of Class 2, was the one who spoke. Now, he was the only one left in Class 2, and his drab face showed obvious resentment.
They are still surrounded by the Blue Army, and attacks from all sides could occur at any time.
Lu Dong wished he could stare a hole through the map in his hand.
The information provided to them by the military region was incorrect; the Blue Army's strength was clearly several times greater than theirs.
This was practically a one-sided siege!
Compared to their somber mood, Qian Wei leaned against a tree a little further away, rummaged through his bag and pulled out some dry rations, then began to eat heartily.
They ate too quickly and choked a little, just then a water bottle was handed to them.
He immediately took it and drank most of the pot in one gulp before he could finally catch his breath.
"Thank you!"
Only then did he notice that the person who handed him the water bottle was Hou Baoquan, his classmate.
He didn't have much contact with Hou Baoquan usually, but he knew that 25-year-old Hou Baoquan was considered a veteran in the company.
Seeing him wolfing down his food, Hou Baoquan took his own rations out of his bag and handed them to him.
Qian Wei looked puzzled.
Hou Baoquan said, "Since you're hungry, here you go eat."
Although Qian Wei enjoys eating, he knows that one should not accept undeserved rewards, especially from people with whom one has little prior acquaintance.
"No need. Besides, there are still several days to go. Even if I'm not hungry now, I'll be hungry tomorrow."
Hou Baoquan actually stuffed the dry rations into his hand, saying, "Your fighting strength is strong, so you need to conserve more energy."
Qian Wei looked at the dry rations and felt even more confused.
"If you give it to me, what will you eat?"
"If we can break through successfully, we won't have to worry about food. If not, then we won't need these rations."
Hou Baoquan's words directly reminded Qian Wei.
Qian Wei's eyes lit up. "That's right. If we get eliminated, we won't have to worry about food and drink."
Hou Baoquan's expression suddenly turned serious. "You can't be eliminated!"
Qian Wei chuckled dryly, knowing that if he made any noise, he would definitely be beaten up by the group.
"I was just kidding."
Hou Baoquan said excitedly, "You are our company's sharpshooter, carrying the honor of the company on your shoulders. As long as the company successfully breaks through the encirclement, we will still need you!"
Is this a compliment?
Qian Wei puffed out his chest, but still pretended to be modest, saying, "I'm not as good as you say. Today I only killed seven or eight or nine Blue Army soldiers. We're all pretty much the same, the backbone of the 3rd Company!"
This statement is incredibly boastful.
Hou Baoquan stared straight at him, his eyes filled with emotions he couldn't decipher.
This was the first time Qian Wei had been stared at like this, and his scalp started to tingle.
"Qian Wei, I really envy you."
Hou Baoquan's seemingly random remark made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Could it be that this guy knows his true identity?
After all, not many people who normally get three consecutive kills like him.
Of course, he doesn't care what others think.
