[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Upon hearing him call your name, you immediately shout excitedly:

Nicholas! Little bear, get out of here!

You've stayed in there too long; your body will lose heat and cause irreversible damage!

...

You said a lot, but he just stared blankly, as if he hadn't heard you, or as if his brain had gone sluggish.

You were anxious and angry, and finally couldn't help but yell at him: Get out!

Upon hearing this, Nicoto's eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a moment of stunned silence, he nodded and slowly propped himself up.

You're surprised, "No way, you can't really hear me, can you?"

He walked unsteadily to the car door, took the military knife that was blocking the door, and then turned his head...

I looked at 'you' lying there.

Goodnight, Angel.

After he finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car, exuding a chill.

Your disappointed sigh.

After closing the car door, Nicoto murmured a questioning voice from behind his mask: "A hallucination...?"

[Next, two plans.]

The cunning bear roared.

[First, kill that damn old bastard!]

The grumpy bear answers first.

[Then, take Angel's body away.]

"Gentle Bear said sadly."

Nicoto's continued walking indicated that he had no objections.

Five men were discussing something in a secluded corner, and eventually they started arguing.

"Absolutely no cremation!"

Wang Zhiqiang was the first to disagree. In his mind, burial is the best way to find peace, and cremation involves being burned alive, which he finds unbearable and makes it hard to breathe.

"If we don't cremate her, we won't be able to take her with us."

The ghost clenched his fist, his voice deep and resonant.

“Our culture is to bury the dead, so that the body and soul can return to the earth. Cremation is a way to harm her body and soul. Are we going to harm her too?”

Wang Zhiqiang growled in dissatisfaction.

This is not only a custom that has lasted for thousands of years, but also a cultural belief.

For many, being burned alive is like being reduced to ashes, an extreme act of destruction and disrespect towards the body.

Moreover, fire belongs to yang in the five elements, and as an extremely yang element, it can harm the spirit of the deceased.

Emotionally, this is tantamount to inflicting a 'secondary injury' on the deceased.

Wang Zhiqiang was never a superstitious person; he also knew that when a person dies, everything is gone.

However, when facing his lover, he still couldn't bear the thought of causing her even the slightest possible harm.

ch.336: Therefore, we cannot interfere.

After Wang Zhiqiang said this, everyone fell silent.

“My hometown still practices traditional burial, and it’s nearby, so I want her to take it back with her.”

Keegan, who had been silent all along, spoke in a hoarse voice, giving the most reasonable explanation.

"No, what right do you have to bury her? She's met my parents; I should be the one to take her away!"

Nicholas retorted in dissatisfaction.

"Don't even think about it! She's Chinese, and she must go back to China!"

Wang Zhiqiang refused to back down.

"I'm taking her with me."

Without wasting any words, the ghost stated its purpose directly.

Only Kruger remained silent in the face of this contest.

She simply leaned against the tree with her arms crossed, watching the four men argue sharply, each pointing out the other's shortcomings, as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction she had suppressed because of her lover.

They stopped making noise as soon as they heard footsteps approaching.

Soap walked over to the group with a somber face. He looked at Ghost with guilt in his eyes.

He opened his mouth, then pursed his lips, and finally reported in a hoarse voice:

"Lieutenant, the entire squad is assembled. The fallen...the fallen teammates have been brought back."

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

This wasn't the first time he'd dealt with these kinds of things, but this time was different; his friend's lover was involved.

Moreover, at the time, he was firmly opposed to Ghost leaving the little girl at the base.

Although the little girl ultimately chose to participate, he still felt that her death was partly his fault.

This inevitably makes him feel guilty when facing ghosts.

Upon hearing this, Ghost told the other four that they would discuss the matter later, and then turned and left.

He still has a lot of things to deal with; he needs to handle many things.

After walking silently behind the ghost for a while, Soap finally mustered the courage to apologize.

"I'm so sorry, Simon."

The ghost paused, then turned to look at the soap.

“This has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to put pressure on yourself, John.”

His voice was flat, but Soap could still see the deep weariness in his bloodshot eyes.

He's too tired to comfort anyone else, Soap thought.

So he nodded in response, "Okay."

Despite saying that, he ultimately didn't dare approach the refrigerated truck, but simply stood at a distance and watched it.

Outside the car door, several girls had red eyes, and tears kept overflowing from Blizzard's eyes.

"How could this be..."

Why did her flowers suddenly wither...?

The blizzard slammed its fist on the car door, making a loud bang.

"Why did this happen to her! Where's Koenig! Isn't he...?"

"He's being treated at the hospital."

Hailin, standing to the side, responded in a hoarse voice.

"Our entire squad, except for me, was wiped out. Captain Koenig is still not sure if he will survive."

The blizzard's open mouth suddenly fell silent.

They're all dead? Then who should she blame?

She couldn't blame anyone, because that's how unpredictable the battlefield is.

So she could only let out suppressed sobs, her eyes fixed on the quiet girl inside, letting the cold air lash her damp cheeks until they turned icy.

Vita held Blizzard's trembling body, her eyes red, and finally tears streamed down her face.

This scene caught Keegan's eye, causing him to clench his fist tightly!

He walked toward the ghost, whispered a few words to him, and the ghost suddenly turned to look at the girls!

He raised his hand in a gesture, then strode toward them.

Blizzard and Vita were violently separated by their teammates. Before they could even process what had happened, they heard Ghost's low, angry roar.

"Vita, come with us!"

Then, two male soldiers grabbed Vita's shoulders, one on each side.

Merrick, who had been observing, showed a moment of surprise upon hearing the familiar words, which quickly turned into mockery.

So, it's just a never-ending cycle of betrayal...

Blizzard took two steps forward to try to stop her, but was pulled back by Rowe who arrived and whispered something to her.

"Never mind."

Lowe could sense the strange atmosphere; YN's death was very likely related to Vita.

If Blizzard stands up for Vita now, and it's later confirmed, she will suffer even more.

Therefore, we can't interfere.

Everyone just watched helplessly as Vita was taken away and put into the back of a military truck in the distance.

In the back of the truck, Vita was roughly shoved and fell hard onto the floor with a thud!

She tried to resist, but was quickly subdued by two male soldiers and then her hands and feet were tied.

"Lieutenant! Is there some misunderstanding?"

Vita was displeased with this treatment of prisoners!

The ghost stared at her with a sinister look, ignoring her.

Vita frowned, her voice still choked with sobs:

"Although soldiers must obey their superiors' orders, Lieutenant, you can't control me without reason."
