"I hope they will be obedient.”
"Yes, Darwin. How could you hope that they were all like that?”
"But I don't understand, sir. Why do you want me to bring a group of kids on a mission? They can't even lift a gun, let alone…"
"Darwin."
"Maybe you can give me a batch of weapons. I'll be stronger than them alone!”
"This mission is simply impossible to complete by one person.”
"Then you have to change the people for me, right, sir?”
“……”
"They will only implicate me."
"The military department has no choice. This is the most tense period of the war. We have no choice, Darwin.”The superior patted Darwin's shoulder and sighed before walking away.
.
These conversations originated from Darwin's memories the night before. When he saw the list of newcomers, he even went to the senior department head's office to ask if there was a mistake.
In this list, there was one 16-year-old, five 17-year-olds, two 18-year-olds, three 19-year-olds…There was only one 40-year-old veteran who had been to the battlefield. His military rank was a sergeant. As for the rest of them, they were all new recruits. However, they all had experience on the battlefield, but they had only been there once and were still in charge of logistics?
The more Darwin thought about it, the angrier he got.
He left the minister's office. As soon as he stepped out of the door, his legs gave way and he collapsed against the wall.
This was clearly a joke from his superiors, but the price behind this joke was something that Darwin really couldn't afford.
They were still children.
Darwin was lying on a collapsed wall of ruins. He held his head in his hands and looked at the starry sky. He was used to talking to himself, so he often had hallucinations.
He could always feel that someone was secretly watching him. He even wondered if this was a conditioned reflex after his military training.
He looked up at the starry sky, and memories of the past flashed through his mind. He reached out a hand and took out a photo from his shirt pocket. However, he had made a mistake from the beginning. In the end, he took out his own last words. When he saw this, he was shocked.
Thus, Darwin sat up cross-legged and touched it again. This time, he touched the right spot. With the faint light of the stars, Darwin saw a photo of his wife.
" Juanxiu…" Darwin called her name. At this time, his wife, who was far away in Anman City, Tadson State, was also thinking about him?
Ta…Ta…
"Who is it?" The sound of footsteps reached Darwin's ears. He raised his rifle with one hand and aimed at the source of the sound.
Ta, ta, ta…
“!”A cold shiver instantly hit Darwin. If his judgment was correct-Whoosh!
Bang bang…
"Ah!" The soldier in the front row was shot through his chest armor and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Darwin had already jumped behind the wall of ruins to hide. He estimated that there were at least three or four enemies, not many, but he could not underestimate their combat strength.
Hearing the gunshots, the government soldiers 200 meters away from Darwin were instantly woken up by the nightmare. They gradually regained their consciousness.
.
"Did you guys hear that?" Janferno pushed the people beside him excitedly.
"Something might have happened to the captain!" Karan frowned. He raised his gun and rushed towards the place where the fire was flashing.
"Hey-don't go alone!”The soldier named Annay stood up and shouted in Karan's direction, but Karan had already run far away.
Kalan's eyes were like torches. He gritted his teeth, and his heart was beating rapidly. Although he heard Ann's shout from behind, with their efficiency, their captain would have been killed by the enemy long ago.
.
Bang bang…
Seeing that something was wrong, the two soldiers quickly lay down behind cover. The two of them separated and hid behind a bare pillar. In front of them was the body of their fallen comrade.
The man spat out bright red blood and fell to the ground weakly, struggling with death.
The bullets hit the wall with a loud bang. The enemy continued to fire at Darwin. Darwin didn't dare to shoot again. His ammunition was limited, and the enemy's bullets weren't compatible. Once they ran out of ammunition, Darwin's situation would become even more dangerous.
When one of the enemies realized that there was only one person on the other side, he quietly leaned out and tried to drag his comrade's body back.
When Darwin heard the sound, he was about to shoot when he was pushed back to his original position by another enemy's firepower.
The valiant soldier took this opportunity to pull his comrade back. He leaned back and grabbed the collar of the corpse with both hands, pulling it back with all his might. However, the corpse was too heavy. He couldn't drag it with his strength alone.
Helpless, he could only let go of the corpse and retreat behind the obstacle. He gestured to another soldier and said, First, he had to get rid of Darwin.
The gunshots suddenly stopped.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.
When Darwin heard that there was no movement, his nervous heart gradually calmed down. Worried, he stuck half of his head out to peek at the outside environment. He found that the corpse he had just shot was still lying there, and the other two soldiers had long disappeared.
This made Darwin very anxious, afraid that the two soldiers would suddenly retreat and report.
He put the magazine back and took out a new magazine full of bullets to load the gun.
Plop, plop, plop…
Darwin gulped.
Ta ta…
At this moment, a series of hurried and rhythmic footsteps entered Darwin's ears. This was not good!
The enemy suddenly appeared behind Darwin. Just as Darwin turned around, the enemy decisively pulled the trigger.
Bang bang…
In the darkness, one could clearly see the sparks of the spear. As he got closer and closer to the gunshot, the sound became clearer and clearer in Kalan's ears.
Karan flew across the ruins. If he had been a little faster…
"Ah!" Darwin fell to the ground.
The two soldiers immediately stopped firing. They were stunned for a second, as if they were communicating something.
The two men nodded and put away their rifles after letting their guard down. One of them rushed forward and was responsible for dragging the corpse. The other person raised his gun and ran in the direction of Darwin's body.
The enemy had just arrived at Darwin's feet. He was using the faint light to see if Darwin was dead or not.
But at this moment, Darwin suddenly opened his eyes, giving him a fright. In his panic, he pulled the trigger, but he had already been kicked to the ground by Darwin.
The gunshot woke up the soldier in front of him. He turned around in shock and quickly took down the rifle on his back.
"Ah!" Darwin pulled out a dagger from his back and charged at the man. He held the enemy's hand that was holding the gun with one hand. Before the enemy could react, he raised his silver dagger that reflected the moonlight high and stabbed it into the enemy's neck.
The enemy's body jumped, and his eyes widened. It was not until Darwin stabbed the knife all the way that a stream of bright red blood gushed out from the wound on his neck and spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
The soldier had just aimed his gun in Darwin's direction and was about to pull the trigger. However, before he could shoot, he fell to the ground after a series of gunshots.
Darwin's nervous heartbeat was unable to calm down. He lowered his head and looked at the body that he had just stabbed to death. He breathed heavily in the air that was mixed with the pungent smell of blood.
Karan put away his gun and looked at Darwin, who was riding on an enemy. He held a shiny dagger in his hand.
"Well done, soldier." Darwin took off his helmet and took a deep breath. He felt a headache coming on.
He took off his bulletproof vest, lifted his jacket, and touched his abdomen. Fortunately, the bullet grazed the side and tore a piece of his clothes. However, it did not matter if he was not injured.
Kalan looked at Darwin. He stood rooted to the ground and did not take half a step forward.
.
Buzz buzz…
A military helicopter with the insignia of a valiant army on its tail slowly flew over the ruins of Liberty City.
Darwin and the others could hear the sound of the helicopter, but they couldn't see the shadow of a helicopter.
" Captain." Janferno and the others, who had rushed over after hearing the voice, looked up at the sky. Janferno hugged his hands together, his body shivering in the wind. He asked," That's strange. Are they aliens?"
"What aliens?" Darwin turned his head and glared at him. Based on his many years of combat experience, this could be the result of the valiant army using technology to blend the helicopter with the environment. It was impossible to see with the naked eye.
"The enemy is likely to be sending reinforcements to Free City.”Darwin turned around and explained to the nine people who were standing unsteadily.
"Captain, if this continues, won't our situation become very dangerous?”The tallest soldier among them stepped forward and asked Darwin.
"You're right, Annay. We have to do something, soldiers.”Darwin nodded, suddenly remembering something.
Darwin walked straight ahead and picked up the signal jammer from the rubble. As the text data recorded on it was large and the text was small, he had to squint his eyes to read the code table.
"Sir?"
Immediately after, Darwin put down this thing and turned to say to everyone,"Oh, based on the signals we have captured so far, they are now 9 kilometers away from us, which is relatively safe.”
"Then what should we do if we can't observe it?”
When everyone heard this, they all turned to look at the person who raised this question-Karan.
Darwin looked at him and slowly explained,""Then we have to be careful. Don't run into them as we walk. After all, there is a huge disparity in strength. I can't guarantee that I can defeat them this time.”
"But, Captain…"
"Alright, everyone, quickly pack up. The gunshots will attract the surrounding soldiers. We have to leave this place quickly.”
"Yes…Captain."
.
Perhaps they had been easily taken away by Darwin and his group.
Little did they know that under the window frame of the ruined building, a heavily armed soldier in a gray military uniform was quietly monitoring their every move…
