Chapter 186 - Desperation (1/2)
The nineteen men advanced forward by being supported by one another. Their speed was much slower than before. If it was not for the fact that they had a mission to complete, some of them would have already gave up.
“Yu’er, wake up.” Suddenly, in the team, Zhong Xiaoqian suddenly said, causing everyone’s gaze to direct towards her.
Walking upfront, Wang Feng checked Dongfang Yu’er’s situation. His eyebrows furrowed. Dongfang Yu’er had no threat to her life. It was just because of a gunshot wound to her leg and the forced walking over a long distance that she could persist no longer and fainted.
“Zhong Xiaoqian, it should be okay for you to walk alone, right?” Wang Feng looked at Zhong Xiaoqian and asked.
“No problem.” Although Zhong Xiaoqian had suffered gun wounds, it was only on her shoulder and thus did not affect her walking.
“Then I’ll carry her. You can catch up with the rest.” As he said this, Wang Feng immediately carried Dongfang Yu’er and put her on his back.
“OK.” At this moment, Zhong Xiaoqian knew that advancing forward was the most important thing. She did so with no hesitation at all.
The nineteen people kept advancing forward in the dense forest. However, after walking for no more than 20 kilometers, it suddenly started to rain heavily.
The place they were at was a primeval forest. The roads were already tough to walk. Now with the rain, the roads were muddy. It brought even more difficulty to Wang Feng and the rest.
This was an obstacle after obstacle, and indeed, misfortunes never came singly. Even heaven did not want them to smoothly march forward.
However, no matter how tough the conditions were, Wang Feng and the team could not stop now. This was because the people in front were already far ahead of them. If they rested now, they would possibly not be able to catch up with them.
Not to mention rain, even if it was raining knives, they had to persist in advancing forward.
Raindrops the size of beans fell ceaselessly on the people’s bodies. It brought a chill to them. However, after experiencing the previous battle, these people did not call for a stop at all and persisted in walking forward.
With the loss of so many of their members in such a short time, Wang Feng felt sorrow in his heart and why wouldn’t they? Hence, they wanted to avenge them too.
Their feet would slip from time to time. Even Wang Feng fell to the ground sometimes. But once he thought about his team members’ death, he continued to persist in advancing.
In his heart, he held a strong resolve. This resolve was strong enough to make him not die on the road.
He wanted to take revenge. He wanted the foreign army units to all die here.
“Team leader, the rain is way too heavy. I think the team members can’t hang on anymore.” At this point, Duan Yi came to Wang Feng’s side and said as he wiped the raindrops on his face.
“Don’t care about all these. Unless it’s a matter of death, everyone has to keep running.” Hearing Duan Yi’s words, Wang Feng not only did not shout for a stop, and instead shouted, “Our team members cannot have died for nothing. Hence, we need to take revenge on the enemies. As long as we are alive, as long as we have one strand of energy, we need to complete this mission. I want those foreigners to pay for what they’ve done.”
Wang Feng’s voice was very powerful and carried a low growl. It caused the team members who were still alive and around him to growl, “Revenge! Revenge! Blood will have blood!”
At this moment, all of them forgot temporarily about pain on their bodies. They could only feel the fire in their hearts.
Seeing this scene, Duan Yi also knew that he could not convince Wang Feng otherwise. Moreover, after hearing Wang Feng talk about revenge, he also felt anger in his heart and wanted to avenge his team members.
The orders were given by Wang Feng and the team was led by him. Hence, he felt equal regret and hate for his team members’ death.
The people who had died could not engage in battle with them anymore. However, the people who lived could still avenge them and let them live peacefully in the afterlife.
The nineteen people’s speed seemed to increase suddenly. Even if someone fell, they immediately got up and continued walking forward.
Bruising their skin was not enough to make them cry out in pain. A cut resulting in a wound was also tolerated. This was because these were nothing when compared to the pain in their hearts.
After a few hours, the thunderstorm finally ended. Wang Feng and his team had walked forward for at least fifty kilometers.
At this point, they were at most a hundred kilometers away from the excavation site. If they hung on and walked, they could reach in just a few hours.
However, seeing the fatigued yet persistent faces of the team members, Wang Feng had no choice but to order for a rest stop.
After a few hours, although they did not cry out in pain, they had indeed walked for a very long distance. A machine would even be exhausted. Hence, Wang Feng had to let them rest.
If they did not rest, probably no one would be able to sustain the last one hundred kilometers. They would not be killed by opponents, but instead die from fatigue. That would not be worthwhile.
Dongfang Yu’er was placed on the ground. No matter how strong Wang Feng was, carrying someone of a hundred kilograms for so long still caused soreness in his legs.
After massaging his tight muscles, Wang Feng’s eyebrows furrowed. Subsequently, everyone started eating the pressurized food they brought.
“Reporting in sir. There are no men in the surroundings. We should be safe…”
“Bang!”
Before the last word was even finished, suddenly this soldier’s head split open like a watermelon and the blood splattered on Wang Feng and the rest’s faces.
