Otherwise, they should have gone back to hand in their mission by now!
After resting on the spot, Liu Shiguo felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
They have been out of contact with headquarters for seven days. How can he lead his comrades back?
He stared at the gloomy sky, which looked as if a downpour could strike at any moment, his expression unreadable.
Nearly half of the surviving comrades were wounded.
Not only that, he also suffered some injuries, though they weren't serious.
If it weren't for the considerable amount of medicine he brought, the injured comrades probably wouldn't have made it this far.
Some comrades' injuries need to be treated promptly, otherwise...
The gloomy sky mirrored the heavy mood of Liu Shiguo.
If a downpour occurs tonight, their situation will only worsen.
Injured comrades simply cannot withstand further torment.
However, they can get some water after the next rain.
With water, everyone's chances of surviving and returning home will be much greater.
They are currently facing a severe shortage of food and water; their situation is truly dire.
Even though he had been through countless battles, he could hardly see any hope in this vast expanse of yellow sand.
"Captain, you take the rest of the group and retreat first. We'll be fine."
Just then, Liu Shiguo heard a weak but firm voice.
That was Shen Dong, everyone called him Dongzi.
He used to be a very skilled young man, but now his leg is badly injured and he has difficulty moving around.
Having dragged this out for so many days, he didn't want to become a burden to his comrades any longer.
Their mission was almost complete, and if the captain took the uninjured comrades, there was a very high chance they would return.
However, if they are injured, then it's not certain.
If Shen Dong's words were like opening a floodgate, the injured comrades would step forward one by one to let the captain and the healthy comrades go first.
They were clearly giving up their own chance to live, in order to give the captain and the others a chance to live.
Their expressions were unusually serious, which brought tears to Liu Shiguo's eyes.
He knew that it would be difficult to move around with his wounded comrades, and that they might all die, but he was unwilling to abandon his comrades.
With less than two weeks left before the mission deadline, he had to find a way to bring all his comrades back during that time!
So he said decisively and seriously, "I will definitely bring everyone back, so don't say those words again!"
Although everyone was prepared to sacrifice themselves from the day they joined the army, he couldn't abandon them!
Upon hearing his words, tears welled up in the eyes of Shen Dong and the other injured comrades.
They wouldn't want to die if they could return alive to complete their mission.
However, the captain was moving too slowly with the injured men!
If we don't abandon them, even the captain might die!
Seeing that he couldn't persuade the captain, Shen Dong, despite being very weak, still managed to pull out his weapon and point it at himself. "Captain, you guys go. Don't make us waste bullets!"
Liu Shiguo was amused by this brat. How dare this brat threaten him with this?
If he hadn't been injured and was full of energy, I might not have been able to subdue him, but now, hmph!
He snorted coldly, "Shen Dong, put down the gun, that's an order!"
However, Shen Dong stubbornly refused to obey orders this time, instead looking directly at Liu Shiguo and saying, "Captain, unless you promise me that I can leave with the comrades!"
Although Liu Shiguo also suffered some minor injuries, it was still no problem for him to snatch the weapon from Shen Dong's hands.
However, before he could make a move, the other wounded comrades followed his example and took out their weapons and pointed them at themselves!
"Captain, please just let us leave with everyone. We really don't need you to take care of us!"
Shen Dong’s voice was firm, but he was actually very weak. He hadn’t eaten properly for several days. How could you expect him to have much energy?
"Captain, there's a situation ahead!" Just then, someone rushed back to report the news.
Then he saw that the wounded comrades were pointing their weapons at themselves, which really startled him.
"What, what's going on?" He stammered, and only after asking did he realize what everyone wanted to do.
Upon hearing that something was amiss, the comrade who was pointing a weapon at himself widened his eyes and instantly gripped his weapon tightly.
"What's going on?" Liu Shiguo's expression darkened further. How could someone suddenly appear in the heart of the desert?
Could it be that they encountered some tribe or enemy?
The man immediately recounted what he had seen.
Upon hearing that a man and a woman were approaching from the other side, Liu Shiguo frowned deeply.
Their recent missions have all been secret, and encountering strangers in such a place greatly increases the chances of them being enemies.
However, he didn't act impulsively, and simply said, "Take me there to take a look!"
The man immediately accepted the order and hurriedly led the captain over.
At this moment, Liu Shile was talking to Lin Ziming.
This refers to what just happened at his brother's camp.
"So I think they are the most lovable people."
Liu Shile's tone was extremely sincere, but also somewhat sighing.
Because she knew that if she were in that situation, she would never give up hope of survival.
Not only that, she would also try every means to get others to protect her.
Sacrificing yourself to make others suffer? Don't be ridiculous.
Lin Ziming nodded, "They are indeed the most lovable people."
And these most adorable people, if they don't get treatment soon, they might end up losing limbs. Lele, aren't you worried?
Liu Shile shrugged. "I'm very anxious, but they're holding weapons and watching me warily. What can I do?"
Should I introduce myself?
It's not that it's impossible, but the problem is they're so far away, and I wasn't even planning to talk to them.
So there's no use in her being anxious; she should just wait for her brother to arrive.
Anyway, they've been injured for so long, a little longer won't hurt.
Lin Ziming chuckled. This girl.
However, since she didn't seem to care about those injuries, he was relieved.
Lin Ziming also admires these most lovable people who protect our country.
Because he knew he couldn't bring himself to sacrifice himself for righteousness.
All he wanted was to cherish the person he loved and live an ordinary, simple life.
Liu Shiguo and his group arrived quickly, but when they saw the people opposite them, they were completely stunned.
"Lele, Lele?" Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, how could Liu Shiguo not recognize his sister?
The young comrade who brought Liu Shiguo over was immediately stunned.
What?
Lele?
Is this the younger sister that the captain praised as being absolutely unique in heaven and earth?
Is this for real?
She doesn't look like it at all; she's clearly a delicate and pretty girl.
Liu Shile smiled broadly, "Yes, big brother, you didn't see wrong, and you weren't dreaming. How about it, are you surprised?"
Liu Shiguo...
Surprise my foot! How did my sister find this place?
Isn't she afraid of being swallowed up by this endless yellow sand?
His expression darkened slightly, but he didn't scold her; instead, he frowned and looked at her.
He asked, "Lele, what brings you here? And who is this gentleman?"
