Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Li Guotao sat on a roof, holding a telescope and observing the situation in the distance. Under the pitch-black night, everything was quiet, as if there was no war at all.

If it weren't for the smell of blood on his body constantly reminding him, Li Guotao couldn't help but have the illusion that this was still the peaceful and beautiful African savannah as before.

At this time, Leng Feng climbed up and sat down next to Li Guotao, and said casually: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Leng Feng said as he handed Li Guotao a can of beer.

Li Guotao shook his head, took the beer and took a sip, then said, "Maybe they really did withdraw."

"But it seems like someone is watching us outside."

"Oh?"

Leng Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?"

Li Guotao said, "Nine out of ten! I found someone in the woods over there."

"It was too dark, so I couldn't tell exactly how many people there were."

Leng Feng said: "But what is certain is that their main force has withdrawn, and only a small number of people are left to monitor, which means they will definitely come again."

Li Guotao nodded slightly and said, "I knew they wouldn't give up so easily."

"By the way, how's the situation over there?"

Leng Feng took a sip of beer, sighed slightly, and said, "I just contacted Ambassador Fan, and he promised that the helicopter will arrive on time tomorrow."

"I have also reported the details of the situation here to him. He said that he would try to coordinate with the warring parties and try to open up a safe evacuation route for us."

"In addition, our country has applied to the alliance to provide humanitarian assistance to the country, organize the entry of peacekeepers, and establish refugee resettlement sites."

"They will also issue the most serious warning to the rebels, demanding that they stop any military action against us."

Li Guotao took a big sip of beer, was silent for a moment, and said: "Under the current situation, this is all they can do."

"Why do you seem a little unhappy?"

Leng Feng slowly spread out his palm, holding a deformed bullet. Although it had been deformed, one could still see the uniqueness of this bullet, with a special pattern engraved on it.

And this pattern is exactly the same as the pattern on the bullet hanging on Leng Feng's neck.

No one else knew the origin of this bullet, but Li Guotao knew it. However, Leng Feng never mentioned the details to anyone, so Li Guotao could only pretend that he didn't know.

Li Guotao pondered for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, this bullet should belong to the mercenary leader."

"It seems you have a personal vendetta?"

"That's it!"

Leng Feng couldn't help feeling heartbroken and really didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Li Guotao said thoughtfully: "If we warn the rebels, they will probably be hesitant."

"But it's hard to say about this group of mercenaries. They are a group of desperate criminals. They suffered a loss in this fight, and the grudge is settled. I guess the mercenary leader will not give up."

"So if you want revenge, there is still hope."

Leng Feng said: "I hope he can give up, because there are still so many people here. If they really attack again, there will definitely be a lot of casualties."

Li Guotao nodded and said, "That's right, so you plan to send these people to a safe place before taking revenge?"

Leng Feng took a sip of beer and did not deny it.

Li Guotao smiled and said, "I'll go with you then, so I can be a helper to some extent."

Leng Feng looked at Li Guotao with some surprise. The two had only known each other for a short time and they didn't have much of a relationship.

Li Guotao explained with a smile: "We can be considered brothers who have fought side by side and experienced life and death together."

"My brother is in trouble, how can I just stand by and watch?"

"There are so many people on the other side, and you are the only one. If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to take revenge, but you will also lose your life in vain."

"If I go with you, the chances of success will be higher. At worst, if I fail, I'll have someone to accompany me on my way to the underworld."

"Okay, I know what you want to say. We are all real men, stop being so pretentious, it's all in the wine."

Leng Feng's words were blocked, and he smiled helplessly and said, "Good brother."

"Done!"

The two men picked up their beers, drank them all, and laughed at each other.

However, Leng Feng still didn't want to implicate Li Guotao, so he didn't really plan to let Li Guotao help him get revenge.

However, Li Guotao also knew that the mercenary leader would definitely come back. Although this was the situation they least wanted to see, it was something they could not change. If Leng Feng wanted to take revenge, he could just wait here.

But with so many people behind me needing protection, it is indeed a bit of a burden.

But so what?
Is there any other way?

Of course, there is a solution.

At this time, Li Guotao also saw that Leng Feng was hesitating about something, and asked, "Are you a little impatient?"

Leng Feng turned his head and looked at Li Guotao, and asked in surprise: "Are you the roundworm in my stomach? Do you know everything?"

"Haha~!"

Li Guotao laughed and said, "Because you and I are the same people, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to stand it."

Leng Feng said helplessly: "But we still have a mission now."

Li Guotao asked back: "Let me ask you, what is our mission?"

Leng Feng said: "Take these expatriates to a safe place and complete the evacuation mission assigned by our superiors."

Li Guotao smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. If we passively wait here, once the enemy attacks in large numbers and a battle breaks out, do you think we can stop them?"

"In fact, I have long thought that passive defense, with just a few of us and a group of guys who have never even touched a gun, is simply not enough to defend such a large factory, let alone deal with so many people."

"Only by completely nipping the danger in the bud can we ensure their safety."

Leng Feng nodded and said, "What you said makes some sense."

Li Guotao looked into the distance and said, "I think they should be not far from here. If everything goes well, they should be able to come back tomorrow morning."

Leng Feng asked: "What if it doesn't go well?"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "At worst, the two of us can just sacrifice our lives here. This will also disrupt the enemy's deployment and allow them to evacuate safely."

Leng Feng was already a little impatient, and after listening to Li Guotao's words, he gradually made up his mind and couldn't help asking: "Tell me about your plan!"

Li Guotao said: "It's very simple. Take the initiative to attack and kill those mercenaries, especially the mercenary leader."

"It would be best to capture the rebel leader. This way we can stop the enemy from attacking the factory and protect their safety."

"And you have also avenged yourself."

"It's the best of both worlds." Leng Feng nodded slightly and said, "It's pretty much what I thought."

Li Guotao smiled and said: "This is what we call great minds think alike."

Leng Feng then asked: "But we don't know where they are now?"

Li Guotao pursed his lips and said, "Isn't there a tongue over there? If we catch one, will we still be worried about not being able to find their exact location?"

Leng Feng said seriously: "But I still don't want you to take risks for me."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "You are just being sentimental. I don't want to leave my fate to others. My fate is only mine if it is in my own hands."

"We were suppressed by the enemy just now. I don't want to experience that kind of helplessness and despair again."

"Only by taking the initiative can we seize the initiative and win this battle."

"Time is running out. There is no time for you to hesitate. Act quickly."

"Brothers!"

Leng Feng said: "Even so, I owe you a favor this time."

"it is good!"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Then you better be careful and live well. I am still waiting for you to repay me for this favor."

The two had already made up their minds and naturally would not delay any further, so they came down from the roof and found He Jianguo.

Leng Feng said directly to He Jianguo: "There are enemy eyes outside. If we want to evacuate safely, we must remove them first."

"Guo Tao and I are going to go out for a while. If we can't get back in time, you will be responsible for contacting Ambassador Fan and retreating according to the original plan."

"Squad leader, this glorious mission is now entrusted to you."

He Jianguo took the phone that Leng Feng handed over and looked at the two of them in surprise.

He was not stupid and knew that these two guys went out definitely not to deal with those enemy's secret sentries.

He Jianguo pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you decided? Do you really want to do this?"

Leng Feng said: "This is the best solution we can think of."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "If we keep the enemy out, we will have more room for maneuver. If we passively accept the attack, we will die."

He Jianguo frowned and asked, "Is this how all of you Wolf Warriors fight?"

Leng Feng smiled and said: "About the same."

He Jianguo assured: "Don't worry, I will take care of your protection."

"But you are going too far. You have given such a heavy burden to an old man like me. You don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "You are old but still strong, and with Master Zhuo who is fearless, I believe there will be no problems."

He Jianguo said: "But I still hope you can come back as soon as possible."

"Don't worry! We will be back as soon as possible." Li Guotao said with a smile.

There is no time to lose and they don't have much time to waste here.

So Leng Feng and Li Guotao quietly left the factory area, and under the cover of darkness, they quietly began to check for enemy sentries nearby.

The two men were like two civet cats hunting at night, crouching and moving lightly through the grass, gradually approaching the enemy.

The two men cooperated well and acted decisively. With their superb skills, they quickly found the lurking sentries one by one and killed them.

However, in order to find out the exact location of the enemy headquarters, they still left one person alive.

Li Guotao tied up the mercenary's hands and feet, removed all his weapons and communicators, and threw him naked onto a big rock. The cold touch quickly woke the mercenary up.

When the guy found that his hands and feet were tied, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and became sober instantly.

The boy began to struggle vigorously. Li Guotao put the dagger against his neck and said coldly: "As long as you answer a few questions, I can give you a quick death. If you don't cooperate, I promise to have a hundred ways to make you live a life worse than death."

Li Guotao knew that these desperate criminals were not afraid of death, and threatening them with life and death might not be effective.

The guy struggled for a few times, but knowing that he couldn't get free, he simply accepted his fate, closed his eyes, and said nothing.

"Okay~!"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "You are a brave boy. I don't know if you have heard of it. In ancient times, we had a kind of punishment called Lingchi, also known as cutting into pieces with a thousand knives."

"It is said that some people have been cut thousands of times without dying. I have never believed it. Today I can verify it and practice my knife skills at the same time."

Time was running out, so Li Guotao didn't hesitate and cut off a piece of flesh from the guy's chest with a knife.

The guy immediately grimaced in pain and broke out in a cold sweat, but he still stood firm and didn't say a word.

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just the first cut. There are more than a thousand cuts to come. I have plenty of time to play with you slowly."

As Li Guotao spoke, he grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it on the mercenary's wound. The guy immediately screamed in pain.

Li Guotao was not polite either. He continued to cut the guy several times, sprinkling salt on him as he cut the flesh.

This guy was really tough. He lasted for two minutes, fainted twice, and finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"I say~! Why don't you ask?"

I saw this guy finally spoke.

Leng Feng walked over and asked, "What's your leader's name?"

The guy said: "I don't know his specific name, I only know his code name is 'Daddy'!"

Leng Feng then asked: "Where are they now?"

The guy replied, "They went to the rebel headquarters and are still there."

Li Guotao's eyes were cold, the dagger was placed on his neck again, and he asked, "The specific location."

The guy quickly replied: "In the small village west of Saint-Francis, right over there."

Li Guotao and Leng Feng looked at each other, and then Li Guotao cut the guy's throat with a knife. Li Guotao would not be merciful to these mercenaries.

Leng Feng and Li Guotao walked out of the woods. Leng Feng said, "What we did just now was a bit cruel."

Li Guotao said helplessly: "Time is running out, is there a better way?"

"These guys are not afraid of death at all. If we want them to tell the truth, we have to resort to extreme measures."

The two men found two jeeps left behind by the enemy on the grass outside the woods, which were perfect for transportation.

"lets go!"

"Okay! Go kill them!" (End of this chapter)
