“Three o'clock, fleeing enemy troops!”
“Five o'clock, encountering a small resistance, the enemy has not yet collapsed!”
“Fire cover!” Old Li roared, “First Platoon, tactical formation advance with me! Second Platoon, you have 10 minutes to flank them, I only give you one chance!”
As Old Li spoke, he had already relied on the physical strength of the Gene Soldiers to chase after them, but he only hung back, not rushing to give attack commands.
They were prisoners, without a modern communication system, so communication could only be done by shouting.
Old Li was so excited that he didn’t even notice his voice had gone hoarse.
Only when the Second Platoon pierced through the snow forest to the enemy’s flank did Old Li roar, “First Platoon, open fire!”
However, just as they had attracted the enemy’s attention, Old Li led the retreat, retreating outside the enemy's effective range.
This extreme sense of distance could only be possessed by veteran soldiers, like seasoned boxers on the boxing ring.
As soon as he retreated, the Second Platoon caught the Shendai soldiers off guard.Old Li was not idle either. He continued to shout, “First Platoon, follow me to the two o'clock direction, and launch a pincer attack.”
The two units crisscrossed, like a pair of steel pincers, clamping down on the Shendai soldiers’ throats.
These people were once the most elite soldiers in the Federation army.
They had to go through an army-wide martial competition before they could be selected into the intelligence agency.
Old Li hadn’t fought for nineteen years, but when he lay on that cold bed, every night he recalled everything he had learned.
Nineteen years, more than six thousand nights, he had participated in more than six thousand battles in his dreams.
Today, Qing Chen’s appearance awakened everything that had been dormant in his soul.
Li Cheng only felt that the past nineteen years had been sealed off, dead, and only today had he finally come alive.
At this moment, Qing Chen was reaping the battlefield in another direction. Qing Ling was by his side, watching his godlike slaughter, feeling that this was the legendary emotionless war machine.
In fact, Qing Chen’s side was much easier.
After killing the three Chosen Ones from the Outer World, these ordinary soldiers couldn’t even arouse Qing Chen’s fighting enthusiasm. All he did was eliminate the weeds.
These Shendai soldiers came to hunt “unarmed people,” carrying only basic equipment such as drones and automatic rifles, but they didn’t expect to encounter monsters in this desolate snowfield!
They thought the pigpen contained a pig to be slaughtered, but they never imagined that if it weren’t for bringing everyone away, this person would have started a massacre the moment he returned.
Li Cheng still needed to control the effective shooting range, but this was not the case for Qing Chen. The Shendai soldiers’ range was 250 meters, and his range was 600 meters. This was simply not the same way of fighting.
A bit too bullying.
While marching, Qing Ling picked up the firearms beside the corpses of the Shendai soldiers, wanting to shoot along.
However, it was too far away. Whether he could hit or not was another matter, but several times Qing Ling had just seen a Shendai soldier and was about to aim.
Before he could aim, the Shendai soldier was already down.
Qing Ling and the others couldn’t aim as fast as Qing Chen killed!
So, Qing Ling and others followed behind Qing Chen like a group of little brothers who only shouted “666,” without having to do anything.
The more this was the case, the more excited and relieved Qing Ling felt.
Come to think of it, this Qing Chen must have posed a huge threat to Shendai like Qing Mu back then, which is why he was captured here!
Thinking about this, Qing Ling suddenly wondered, it had been too long since he had gone back, and he didn’t know how many Qing Family intelligence officers were supporting this Qing Chen, like they had revered Qing Mu back then?
At this time, Qing Chen stopped, calmly saying, “Go strip these Shendai soldiers of their clothes and put them on. Take their individual rations and their weapons and equipment.”
Forty-year-old Qing Ling quickly agreed, “Okay, we can strip them all within ten minutes!”
Qing Chen had initially engaged in close-quarters combat because it was more enjoyable. But later he found that the Shendai soldiers’ clothes were torn after close-quarters combat, and if he wore them, he would look like Old Li and the others, looking like unkempt traitors.
So Qing Chen switched to firearms.
Thus, as Qing Ling and other Qing Family intelligence personnel stripped off the Shendai uniforms, they all gasped.
They squatted in the snow, looking at each other, their eyes showing shock.
Because all the dead Shendai soldiers were either shot in the eyebrows or in the back of the head.
When an automatic rifle hits a target at a range of 600 meters, the kinetic energy is not that great, so the bullets are embedded in the brain, with only a little blood seeping out.
The uniforms were not soiled at all!
Qing Ling was shocked. If it were only a matter of hitting the target at 600 meters, that would be fine.
This young Supervisor was actually controlling two puppets while hitting every shot.
If this were the limit, that would be fine. But the other party could also hit every shot in the head, leaving them with intact warm clothing!
It’s incredible!
Qing Ling secretly glanced at Qing Chen. Someone whispered beside him, “What kind of marksmanship is this? We haven’t been back for over ten years. This is probably a military god cultivated by Shadow in some army, right?”
The battle was over, and Li Cheng brought the Li Clan’s team over to regroup.
When he saw Qing Ling in his complete uniform, his eyes turned green. He looked at Qing Chen, “Commander, why are their clothes so intact?!”
It wasn’t just intact; the uniforms looked brand new!
Li Cheng then looked at himself. His military jacket was askew, soaked in blood, not to mention it was a bit drafty!
The key is that in this place where the temperature is below forty degrees, the Shendai soldiers usually wear three layers: a jacket, a lining, and thermal underwear.
When Qing Chen dismembered the Shendai soldiers, he cut them all at once!
Qing Ling chuckled, “Look at what you’re saying. This is our Qing Family’s military god, the clothes he left us are naturally complete.”
Old Li’s eyes widened like a bull’s, “Bah, this is our Li Clan’s future imperial master, current independent director, Secretariat national policy advisor!”
Qing Ling also tried to widen his eyes, but he couldn’t widen them much, “This is our Qing Family’s, are you surnamed Qing?”
Qing Chen looked at Qing Ling, then at Li Cheng. These two were even fighting over this?!
He said, “Sorry, I was inconsiderate during the battle, so you’ll have to make do for now. Qing Ling, you keep the complete jackets, and give your complete thermal underwear to Li Cheng and the others. It’s a bit hard work.”
Li Cheng, hearing Qing Chen’s apology, was startled. “You’ve misunderstood, I didn’t mean to blame you, we’re fine now, we’re still wearing the prison’s winter clothes.”
Qing Ling’s soldiers had already started to take off their clothes, “Boss’s orders, obedience is our duty, hurry up and put them on.”
At this time, Qing Ling had already regarded Qing Chen as his Boss from the bottom of his heart.
For the past nineteen years, that position had always been Qing Mu’s, and no one could replace him.
Now it’s changed.
He believed Li Cheng must also think so, although Qing Chen wasn’t surnamed Li, Qing Chen’s status in the Li Clan explained everything.
Qing Chen said, “Now, everything is about surviving to leave here, don’t be sentimental.”
Qing Ling and Li Cheng probably understood Qing Chen’s way of doing things, and Li Cheng said, “Understood, Boss.”
Qing Chen asked, “Do you have any understanding of the Shendai’s military deployment in the rear?”
“Yes,” Li Cheng raised his hand, “I worked for Shendai Yun Zhi the most, so I’ve heard some gossip. Within a radius of 600 kilometers, there are a total of two field armies. These two field armies are different from the front-line troops. They are mainly responsible for clearing the wilderness, using Wildlanders for training, letting new recruits who haven’t killed anyone kill Wildlanders to see blood.”
Qing Chen nodded after listening. He glanced at the surrounding landmarks, confirmed his direction, and then walked towards the south.
Li Cheng and Qing Ling looked at each other, not knowing what this new Boss was going to do.
A thousand plus soldiers followed him southward, heading straight for the Central Plains.
This time, Li Cheng didn’t say that whoever fell behind was doomed.
Before, it was for battle, but now it’s because Qing Chen instructed that not a single person could be missing.
It was very cold in the snow, but none of the soldiers complained.
After Qing Chen found out that their trek was difficult, he specifically instructed, “Those who are weak can hang their firearms and Weight training on Yun Zhi and Gaoqiao Quanchi. Both of them are masters, they can carry it.”
As soon as the words fell, all the Li Clan and Qing Family people saw Yun Zhi and Gaoqiao Quanchi suddenly kneel down and kowtow nine times.
Like paying New Year’s greetings.
After doing all this, Qing Chen continued to move forward.
In this battle, Yun Zhi and the others were the most shocked, terrified, and miserable.
Not only were they controlled and lost their freedom, but they also had to be gun rests and kowtow!
Yun Zhi suspected that if Qing Chen weren’t in a hurry, he might let him kowtow all the way back to the Central Plains, kowtowing as he went!
After walking for a few hours, Qing Ling and Li Cheng ate their individual rations, and finally couldn’t help but approach Qing Chen, “Boss, are we sure we’re going this way?”
Qing Chen nodded, “Yes.”
Li Cheng said, “I’m not questioning your decision, Boss, but I want to analyze this: The incident at A02 Base must have been known to the Shendai Consortium. Now they’ll most likely send those two field armies to encircle us. If we go south, we’ll meet them head-on.”
Qing Chen nodded, “Yes, I know. Of course, you can also talk about your ideas.”
Qing Ling also said on the side, “Or we can go north. The Shenmu River in the north has frozen over, we can go to the extremely cold place in the north. It is said that some barbarians still survive there, but very few. After crossing the Shenmu River, we will migrate westward, bypassing Shendai and Koshima from the north, circling back to the Central Plains from the edge of Forbidden Zone 001. Although the journey is long, the probability of survival should be higher than directly confronting the two field armies.”
Qing Chen glanced at Qing Ling. If he went this way, it would really be a 25,000-li Long March.
But in terms of hardship and distance, it was indeed similar.
However, Qing Chen didn’t plan to go this way, because the people behind him had been imprisoned for more than ten years and couldn’t withstand a long journey.
He continued southward, and Qing Ling and Li Cheng were puzzled, “Boss, don’t we really need to worry about these two field armies?”
Qing Chen climbed a snowdrift, stood in the cold wind, and looked southward, “Actually, if Yun Zhi hadn’t changed his plan, I would have acted four days later. Now I can only gamble, gamble that those people will come.”
He glanced at his back again.
Those weather-beaten yet expectant faces.
These people might one day become Qing Chen’s first team.
Some of them were good at commanding, some were good at intelligence infiltration, and some had personally built a mature intelligence network.
In the future, no matter where Qing Chen goes, most of these people will become Qing Chen’s support.
These people cannot die, they cannot collide with those two field armies, but Qing Chen chose to trust.
He believed that some people had already come, but they had not yet met each other.
Qing Chen continued, “No, it’s not gambling, I believe they will definitely come. Let’s go, continue south.”
Qing Ling and Li Cheng looked at each other. They realized that there must be special people coming to save this Qing Chen, and it was someone Qing Chen could unconditionally trust.
At this time, Qing Chen seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at the sky.
He suddenly laughed, extraordinarily brightly.
Because in the sky and clouds, a giant bird was spreading its wings, covering the sky and the sun.
Qingshan Falcon, long time no see.
