"Miss Su, this is exactly what we are looking for. No wonder we couldn't find it. It turns out that it was stuffed into the fox's stomach. Since we have found it, we can retreat." Su Meng and Shen Jian had just buried the fox, Gao Yan walked over and called out to her.
The mission had been completed. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief on the way back. It wasn't as depressing as it was when they came. Shen Jian was the only one in a bad mood.
It was easier to walk after the rain stopped. They were much faster than when they had arrived.
After walking for about half an hour, One suddenly stopped. At the same time, he gestured for the people behind him to stop. Then, he looked around.
"What's wrong?" Gao Yan thought that One had sensed that something had happened to Su Meng just like when he had arrived. He could not help but raise his eyebrows and look back. He found that Su Meng was just a few steps behind him.
"Get down, there's someone!" One slowly stepped back and signaled his teammates to pay attention.
"Where are they?" Gao Yan asked in a low voice. At this moment, he didn't forget to pull Shen Jian down and hide.
The others reacted very quickly. The moment they saw the command, they immediately crawled to the side and turned off their flashlights.
Although Su Meng didn't know what had happened, when she saw the others turn off their flashlights and lie down, she followed closely behind them. She had not moved far when a person suddenly appeared beside her. That person had his arm around Su Meng's shoulder, covering her while she hid.
Rustling sounds came from the forest next to them, followed by the sound of the crowd's restlessness.
"They're here!" someone shouted from the forest next to them, followed by the sound of a gunshot. The silent forest was broken.
Fortunately, Su Meng and her group had found a place to hide in advance, so no one was hit.
One hugged Su Meng and brought her behind a big rock.
"Lie down here obediently. Don't move unless I tell you," One instructed Su Meng in a deep voice.
"Okay." Su Meng nodded and lay down obediently. This would reduce the risk of being discovered.
"Close your eyes and don't look. Wait for me to come back. Don't worry, everything will be fine." Although One's voice was hoarse, it was very gentle.
This was the first time Su Meng had heard him say so much. Her heart immediately calmed down, and she obediently closed her eyes.
As soon as the other party fired the first shot, the other party had already begun fighting back. The reason why One did not fire the first shot was because he was afraid that the other party would notice that there was someone behind the rock.
Seeing that Su Meng was very confident in him, the corner of One's mouth, which was hidden behind the mask, twitched slightly. Then, he rushed out and began fighting with the enemy.
Su Meng hid behind the rock and listened to the continuous gunshots, but she did not open her eyes.
She did not even know how to fight, let alone this kind of real combat. Opening her eyes would only increase her fear and might even cause trouble for them. It was better to leave everything to one.
Su Meng herself did not notice that in just a short night, she already had a lot of trust in One.
After an unknown period of time, the sound of the gunshots became weaker, and she did not know how the battle was going. Su Meng opened her eyes slightly and peeked behind the rock. Unfortunately, it was too dark to see clearly. She could only see some shadows and the sparks of bullets.
Su Meng, who had been looking at the battlefield, did not notice the people behind her. By the time she realized that there were people behind her, it was already too late.
Her mouth was covered, and a gun was pressed against her temple.
The dark clouds had gradually dispersed, revealing a corner of the moon. Under the faint moonlight, One saw Su Meng being held hostage by the enemy.
He stopped and rushed over quickly. However, just as he was about to reach Su Meng's side, he was stopped by the person holding Su Meng hostage.
"If you want her to live, stop immediately and give us the thing," said the man holding Su Meng hostage.
Su Meng knew what the man wanted. It was such a coincidence that they appeared. They must have been lying in wait here, waiting for her and the others to find them and rob them.
Both sides had guns. Once Gao Yan and the others stopped, it would really be over.
This document was extremely important. Gao Yan had said that this item concerned the lives of many soldiers. If they lost it just because of her, wouldn't she be a sinner?
Soldiers also had parents and children, but they still risked their lives for the safety of their country. She couldn't afford to drop the ball at a critical moment.
Although she was also afraid of death, she still had an old man to take care of, revenge to take, and many other things to do. But no matter how much she didn't want to die, as long as she could contribute to the country, she was willing.
"Don't worry about me. It's my honor to die for the punishment of evil. As long as you can take care of my master after I die!" Su Meng shouted heroically.
