The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

Zeng Linglong raised the Vulcan cannon from the top of the rocky mountain and ran quickly toward the Second Battalion's camp.

The six-barreled gun muzzle gleamed coldly in the setting sun.

His figure cast a long shadow on the sand.

He ran while yelling:

"Quick! Quick! Run—!!!"

The Dragon Shadow team members quickly passed through the Second Battalion's camp and ran wildly northward.

Military boots kicked up dust as they stepped on the sand.

No one turned around, but everyone was silently counting the footsteps of the person behind them.

Zeng Linglong arrived at the edge of the camp wall and saw Qi Liang running over.

He snatched the remote control from Qi Liang's hand in a rough and urgent manner.

Then, they snatched the Vulcan cannon from the bull.

Qi Liang and Man Niu were stunned, not understanding why their boss was grabbing the remote control and the Vulcan cannon.

They watched as Zeng Linglong also ran wildly northward.

Without thinking much, he turned and continued running.

But Zeng Linglong only ran for a short while.

He deliberately slowed down, stayed at the back of the line, and then stopped.

He watched as his teammates had already run far away.

Those figures grew smaller and smaller, more and more blurred, in the wind and sand.

His eyes held a hopeful look, a hope that his brothers would run as far as possible.

then.

His eyes became incredibly resolute, like tempered steel, like a drawn sword.

He turned around quickly—

They ran wildly toward the camp, toward the rooftop of the barracks.

Qi Liang ran for a while, then suddenly felt a strange sense of panic.

He turned his head, wanting to see the boss.

But when he turned his head, his eyes widened as big as light bulbs—

There was no one behind them; the leader was nowhere to be seen.

Only their own footprints stretched into the distance on the sand.

He suddenly grabbed the bull beside him and shouted:

Have you seen the boss?

Without turning his head, the bull said, "Isn't the boss behind us?"

"There's nothing more!"

Qi Liang's voice had changed tone.

The bull immediately stopped running forward and looked back—

As expected, the boss was nowhere to be seen.

His heart felt as if it had been gripped and twisted violently by an invisible hand.

Qi Liang panicked and roared, "Everyone, wait—!!!"

The team members in front slowed down and turned around.

Qi Liang's voice was trembling with tears and urgency:

"Have you guys seen the boss?!"

brush!

All Dragon Shadow team members immediately stopped.

Then they all turned their heads left and right to look around, but they couldn't find the leader at all.

On the sand, there were only their own footprints, and only the wind and sand blowing.

No one spoke; only heavy breathing echoed in the air.

The fear that rose from the bottom of my heart was even greater than when facing biological weapons.

Xiaoya, Tiezhu, and Yefeng felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, chilled from head to toe.

Tie Zhu took the lead, his tiger-like eyes burning, and quickly ran towards the camp.

His body looked like a moving mountain in the setting sun, and every step he took made the sand tremble.

Xiaoya and Yefeng followed closely behind, their faces pale and their lips tightly pressed together.

The others knew that their leader must have returned, so they went after him.

No one spoke, no one gave an order.

Everyone turned around at the same time and ran in the same direction.

However, Tie Zhu hadn't run far when—

"Da da da—!!!"

A burst of bullets hit his feet.

Dust and sand splashed up, hitting the area around Tie Zhu's military boots.

Tie Zhu abruptly stopped his imposing figure, his military boots carving two deep furrows in the sand.

Everyone else stopped running, and the inertia almost caused several of them to fall.

But they held firm, as if they were rooted to the spot.

They all looked up at the camp and at the rooftop of the barracks.

The setting sun burned behind him, gilding his silhouette with a golden edge.

His expression was calm, as calm as a stagnant pool.

His voice was hoarse and urgent:

"go back!"

Then came a roar that tore through the throat.

"What are you doing back here?! Run! Run now!!!"

Tie Zhu looked up, his tiger-like eyes blurred with tears.

That majestic body, those thick and strong knees, knelt down heavily.

"Thump!"

Two deep craters were smashed into the sand.

His voice, deep and resonant, now held a tragic grandeur as he shook his head desperately.

"Boss! We're not leaving! We're staying with you!"

"Death isn't scary—what's scary is dying after you…!"

Ye Feng and Xiao Ya also knelt down.

Ye Feng pressed the pistol against his chin, the cold muzzle pressed against his skin.

He smiled, but tears streamed down his face, carving two deep lines on his face covered in paint.

"Boss! Death will always be with you, until it dies before you."

Xiaoya also pressed the pistol against her temple, her finger on the trigger.

Her face was streaked with tears, her voice trembling with sobs, yet every word was clear:

"Boss, as long as you're here, the Divine Sparrow is here."

"You are gone—the world has ended."

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

All the Dragon Shadow members knelt down.

More than a hundred knees slammed into the sand at the same time, raising a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun.

They roared in unison, their voices coalescing into a torrent of steel that shook the heavens and earth.

"Boss, you're here—we're here!"

"You're gone—the world is destroyed!"

"We will stay with you forever, until we die before you!"

"Hahaha--!!!"

On the rooftop, Zeng Linglong burst into laughter.

Tears streamed down his resolute face and dripped onto his combat uniform on his chest.

He also pressed a pistol against his temple, the muzzle gleaming coldly in the setting sun.

"Get up! All of you, get up!"

His voice was hoarse, carrying both command and pleading.

"Are you forcing me to die by not leaving?!"

"There's no time left!"

"This is a military order, and my only request—get out of here!!!"

At this point, Zeng Linglong also knelt down.

His knee slammed onto the concrete floor of the rooftop with a dull thud.

Below, not a single person stood up, nor did anyone leave.

More than a hundred figures knelt on the sand, like sculptures, like monuments.

Zeng Linglong gritted his teeth, pointed the pistol at his left shoulder—"Bang!"

Blood mist sprayed from his left shoulder, spreading in the air like a blood-red flower.

His body swayed, but he did not fall.

He knelt there, blood flowing from the wound on his left shoulder, dripping onto the rooftop and splashing up tiny blood flowers.

"Boss—!!!"

All the team members below watched Zeng Linglong's resolute decision.

Their hearts felt as if they were being gripped tightly and twisted painfully.

But Zeng Linglong didn't give them time to think. He pressed a pistol against his chin, the cold muzzle against his throat.

"I'll count to three!"

"If you don't leave, I'll die!"

"I'll die right here in front of you!"

"But you drove me to my death!"

His eyes were as resolute as knives.

"one--!"

"Boss!"

Tie Zhu cried out, becoming tense.

His hands were braced on the sand, and his whole body was trembling.

"two--!"

Zeng Linglong pressed the pistol tightly against his chin, his finger on the trigger, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"Let's go—!!!"

His voice was hoarse.

"If you don't leave, I'll die right here in front of you!"

"If you leave, I might still have a sliver of hope!"

"Beasts, Death, and Divine Birds, we grew up together—"

"Are you really willing to watch me die right in front of you?!"

Zeng Linglong has already started reading "Three".

Xiaoya's pupils suddenly constricted, and her brain made a judgment in a flash.

She jumped to her feet and shouted, "Let's go! Boss, let's go—!"

Her tears were still flowing, but her voice had become cold, as cold as a machine's:

"But as I said, as long as you're here, Boss, the Divine Sparrow is here."

"Without you—the world will end."

Xiaoya frantically wiped away her tears, until her face turned red.

She turned around and shouted to her teammates, "Go!!!!"

At this moment, she had become a true cyber ghost, a cyber ghost capable of destroying everything.

She quickly took out her tablet and said to her teammates:

"Don't worry, I will hack into the missile systems of neighboring countries in five minutes."

"If anything happens to the boss—I'm going to blow this whole place up!"

"We'll blow this desert up three stories high!"

"I am not worthy of being called the Divine Sparrow unless I annihilate all forces involved in this matter!"

Xiaoya's expression revealed her determination.

It was a cold, all-consuming decisiveness.

The expressions on all the team members' faces also became resolute—

That was the kind of ruthless determination that could destroy everything should Zeng Linglong be in trouble.

Their eyes turned red, their fists clenched, and their teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.
