If I made you a special forces soldier, would you become a terrestrial god?

Half an hour later, Chief of Staff Fang's walkie-talkie rang again.

After a brief beep of encrypted signal reception, a detailed electronic map and route plan appeared on the miniature terminal beside him.

"Lieutenant Su, the intelligence has arrived." Chief of Staff Fang handed over the terminal, his tone now that of a subordinate addressing a superior.

Su Chen took it and quickly scanned it. The route was cleverly planned, avoiding all known enemy strongholds and patrol routes, but the entire route required traversing through a pathless primeval jungle, which was a huge test of physical strength.

"Prepare equipment, put the wounded on stretchers, and depart in ten minutes." Su Chen gave the order, his voice not loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.

"yes!"

Everyone sprang into action immediately. The surviving soldiers were divided into combat groups and logistics groups, creating a tense yet efficient atmosphere.

Ten minutes later, the team set off on time.

Su Chen walked at the front, his pace slow but with a strange rhythm, as if he were one with the forest.

Wang Meng and Li Xiang stood guard on either side of him behind him. Behind them were Chief of Staff Fang and Liang Sanxi, as well as soldiers carrying the wounded and the remains of fallen soldiers.

The group moved silently forward in the darkness, like a giant, silent python.

Night in the jungle is synonymous with danger. Venomous snakes, traps, and enemies lurking everywhere. Everyone is on edge.

After walking for about half an hour, Su Chen suddenly stopped.

The entire team stopped instantly, dozens of dark gun barrels pointing in unison at their surroundings, their movements perfectly synchronized and without making a single extra sound.

"Captain Su?" Chief of Staff Fang lowered his voice, his heart pounding in his throat.

Su Chen didn't turn around, but simply stretched out two fingers and pointed to the depths of the dense forest to his right.

"At one o'clock, 1.8 kilometers away, there is a Vietnamese patrol of fourteen men approaching us. We expect to encounter them in the ravine ahead in five minutes." His voice was as calm as if he were stating the weather.

"..."

The Chief of Staff Fang, Liang Sanxi, Wang Meng, Li Xiang, and others behind him were all stunned.

1.8 kilometers?

Are you kidding me?! This is a pitch-black jungle! Forget about people, even if a tank drove up here, we'd only hear a faint sound at this distance!

How could he know so much? He even knew the exact number of people down to the last digit?

Lei Kaihua's eyes widened in disbelief, his mind racing: "Is Brother Chen equipped with some kind of superhuman vision and hearing plugin? It's even more amazing than radar!"

"Stay put," Su Chen said, leaving behind four words.

The next second, his figure flickered before everyone's eyes, then disappeared into the darkness ahead like a ghost.

The crowd was deathly silent; everyone stood still, holding their breath and waiting.

One minute.

Two minutes.

three minutes.

There were no gunshots, no sounds of fighting, nothing at all. The jungle ahead was eerily quiet.

Just as everyone began to feel uneasy, the figure reappeared silently in the same spot, as if it had never left.

His body was still spotless, without a drop of blood.

"The threat is gone, let's move on," Su Chen said calmly.

Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with expressions of utter disbelief.

Threat...resolved?

Fourteen fully armed enemies were silently eliminated in less than five minutes.

They didn't even have a chance to fire a single shot.

Jin Kailai swallowed hard, feeling his throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire. He would rather face an enemy division than an opponent like Su Chen.

This is no longer a battle, but a cleanup.

As the journey continued, the group gradually became numb to these "miracles."

"Two snipers in a tree 900 meters to the left front, have been dealt with."

"At the mountain pass ahead, there's a temporary outpost with six men; they've been eliminated."

"A transport team of thirty people is approaching; go around them."

Under Su Chen's "Heavenly Eye," this deadly jungle, which was fraught with danger to everyone else, seemed to have become a sandbox that was transparent to Su Chen alone.

He foresaw all the dangers in advance and nipped them in the bud in the bud in the simplest and most efficient way.

The marching speed of the team was several times faster than expected.

[Ding! Defeat an enemy and gain 100 experience points!]

[Ding! Defeat an enemy and gain 100 experience points!]

……

In Su Chen's mind, his experience points were steadily and rapidly increasing. This journey home was practically a VIP passage for gaining experience.

After traveling for about an hour, Su Chen stopped in front of a hillside that had been ravaged by artillery fire.

This is the very place where their class was first ambushed.

The air still carried a faint scent of blood and gunpowder.

"Captain Su, here..." Li Xiang and Wang Meng's eyes dimmed, their voices choked with emotion.

Eight of their comrades-in-arms sacrificed their lives here.

According to the plan, they should pass through quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Rest where you are." Su Chen's order took everyone by surprise.

He didn't offer any further explanation and walked alone onto that scorched earth.

Under the "all-seeing eye," everything hidden beneath the soil was revealed. He quickly located the spot where his comrades had fallen.

He remained silent, using his hands to carefully dig away the soil and rubble, one by one, and gently carried out the mutilated bodies.

His movements were very light and slow, as if he were carefully protecting a rare treasure.

Those hands, capable of punching through steel and shattering boulders with a single palm strike, were now incredibly gentle.

The night wind was bleak, blowing the corner of his clothes, which were blackened by gunpowder smoke.

Everyone watched this scene in silence; no one spoke.

Liang Sanxi, Jin Kailai, Chief of Staff Fang... these tough guys who had seen life and death before all had tears in their eyes.

They finally understood what Su Chen meant when he said, "I will bring each and every one of you back alive."

Those who are alive should be taken back.

Those who sacrificed themselves, we must bring back with us.

Not one can be missing!

When Su Chen brought back the last body, gently placed it on the stretcher, and covered it with his military overcoat, he turned around to face everyone.

"I promised them I would take them home."

His voice wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

"salute!"

Liang Sanxi roared and raised his hand in a standard military salute.

brush!

Behind them, all the soldiers who could still stand raised their arms in unison.

Their gazes were fixed on the young captain, filled with unprecedented admiration, trust, and... fervor.

At this moment, in their hearts, Su Chen was no longer just a monster with unparalleled combat power.

He is their backbone, their guardian angel!

[Ding! Battle settled!]

[In this operation, the host killed a total of 49 Vietnamese soldiers, a perfect performance.]

[A total of 4900 experience points were gained!]

[Host's current experience points balance: 14000 points.]

Su Chen ignored the system notification and simply waved his hand: "Pack your things, let's keep going, and take the brothers... home!"

"yes!"

The team set off again, the atmosphere more solemn, but also more resolute. Every step they took was filled with power.

At dawn, the team finally reached the last leg of the journey marked on the map.

Once we cross that mountain, we can enter the rendezvous area controlled by our side.

With victory in sight, a sense of relief appeared on everyone's faces.

However, Su Chen, who had been walking at the very front, stopped once again.

His body remained rooted to the spot, like a javelin, completely still.

A chilling, bone-chilling killing intent emanated from him, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

"Captain Su?" Chief of Staff Fang's heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind.

Su Chen slowly raised his head, his eyes surging with cool internal energy as he pushed his "Heavenly Eye" to its limit.

His gaze pierced through the mountains and the morning mist, looking towards the narrow valley known as "A Line of Sky" several kilometers away.

There, a unit of about a company, wearing the same uniforms as our army, was unknowingly marching into the depths of the valley.

On the high ground on both sides of the valley, the dark mass of Vietnamese troops had already laid a trap.

Machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers... at least a battalion of soldiers, plus a heavy artillery company, have opened the pocket of death, just waiting for their prey to walk into the trap.

"It's the reconnaissance company of the 'Iron Fist Regiment'..." Fang Canbo's voice was a little hoarse. He also recognized the unit's designation; it was also an elite unit in the military.

"They're finished," Jin Kailai muttered to himself. With an ambush of that scale, unless a god descended to earth, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

All eyes were on Su Chen.

Their mission is to escort Su Chen back safely at all costs.

Now, they are only one step away from safety.

Ahead lies another deadly trap.

Is it to follow orders, turn a blind eye, and ensure one's own safety?

Or should we turn around and rush into that death zone to rescue a group of allied soldiers we don't even know?

The group fell into a deathly silence.

Su Chen withdrew his gaze, slowly turned around, looked at the group of wounded and exhausted soldiers behind him, and then glanced at the silent "brothers" on the stretchers.

He didn't give the order, but calmly asked Chief of Staff Fang:

"Chief of Staff, if it were you, would you save them or not?"
