[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Seeing that Joseph was still hesitating, Lake gave him a final warning:

"If we don't leave now, they'll search us soon! If you don't leave, I will. You're going to die with her, but I'm not!"

Joseph looked at the situation outside and struggled silently.

Finally, Joseph stood up and followed Lake away.

After all, nobody wants to go to their death for nothing.

Down in the hills, the enemy vehicle wasn't there to support those ahead, but to pick up people.

After they got out of the car, they quickly became alert of their surroundings. Then one of them put his hand in his mouth, and a whistle rang out.

A moment later, a man emerged from the bushes in the distance.

After he approached, the others quickly invited him to get into the car.

"Lord Yewen, let's go."

So, when you attacked them, their leader was also there, but he was hiding.

The man called Yewen, however, was looking in one direction.

He had been hiding, hoping to see if he could launch a surprise attack, but he unexpectedly witnessed an interesting scene.

Then he pointed.

"Take that unfortunate soldier away."

Chapter 46: Betrayal by a Teammate

When you wake up, you feel like you're lying down, and your neck is very sore.

Damn it! Who knocked you out? It couldn't have been Lake, could it?

You reach out to rub your sore neck, but find that you can't move either of your hands, as if you're bound by something!

Tie them up!

You suddenly open your eyes and see a gray-blue sky that is about to dawn.

The swaying of the object beneath you and the moving treetops in front of you make it easy to guess that you're in a car.

Your heart sank, realizing you'd been arrested; after all, your teammates wouldn't tie your hands.

"you're awake."

A male voice rang out.

Looking in the direction of the sound, you see three or four fully armed men sitting on either side of the open-air truck.

Right in the middle was a bearded man wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

The man had the air of a boss, and the voice he just spoke must have come from him.

You struggled to your feet and leaned against the back of the car.

"Where is my other teammate?"

Since it's a kidnapping, and you're all alone, you can't help but worry about Lake—maybe he's already been killed by them.

The man smiled, his expression kind and gentle.

"We only took you with us."

It means that no one else was tied up with you.

You looked at him, your heart heavy: "Didn't you knock me unconscious?"

After all, you were attacked from behind and couldn't see who it was.

Now that you've heard what he said, you probably have the answer in your heart, but you still hold onto a sliver of hope and ask again.

The man laughed even louder: "Of course not, it was your teammates who knocked you out, we were just picking up the scraps."

Then, what he said was even more hurtful.

"You're pathetic for being abandoned by your teammates. That team is trash, you might as well join us!"

A sense of melancholy wells up inside you, as if there is a cold air in your chest that cannot be dispelled, making your limbs and bones feel cold, and even your breath feels like it is carrying icy blades, making your mouth and nose sting.

Although you knew Lake didn't like you, you never imagined he would treat you like this.

Even if he insults you and your country, you only beat him up; you never intended to harm him!

It seems Wang Zhiqiang was right: never harbor the same moral illusions about anyone, and always be wary of those behind you...

But now is not the time to be sad or angry; you need to find a way to escape!

If you manage to get back alive, you must teach Lake a lesson he won't hesitate to teach him a lesson again!

Calm yourself down and ask the man with a smile:

"I killed your teammates, and you actually accept me?"

The man seemed indifferent: "Casualties are normal on the battlefield. It's their fate if they don't survive, but they are brave warriors, and God will guide them to rebirth."

Allah? Have we encountered a believer?

But you feel that he is just giving you the runaround, or rather, he is giving the runaround to his subordinates.

Using illusory deities to transform sorrow and suffering is the lowest-cost method.

But you can't argue with him or have a conflict with him; you can only laugh awkwardly and agree.

"Ah, your Lord is truly an all-encompassing God."

He raised an eyebrow, seemingly pleased that you were sensible.

While you're busy dealing with the situation at hand, you're unaware that you've already entered someone's field of vision.

"Report, the target is approaching the area, and there is a hostage in the vehicle."

At that moment, a deliberately lowered voice rang out from the pitch-black woods.

He received a reply quickly through his earpiece.

"Prepare to intercept."

The scope slowly moved, aiming at the wheel...

"receive."

sudden!

The sniper rifle, fitted with a silencer, emitted a short, sharp sound, and then the bullet was fired!

stab-

The screech of brakes rang out, and you all involuntarily leaned forward slightly.

Yevgeny's voice was tinged with anger:

"What's going on!"

A response came from the driver's seat: "Sir, it seems like a tire has blown out. We'll go down and check."

Then, the passenger door was opened, presumably because someone got out to check.

In the middle of nowhere, did your tire blow out?

You feel your chance has come!

I glanced around quickly and noticed that the slope wasn't too steep, and there was a dark forest right across from me.

You can roll down the slope, use cover to shield yourself from shooting, and then find an opportunity to run into the woods.

You don't believe they have good intentions. If you join such an unregulated organization, you'll be lucky to escape with your life!

You can't just sit here and wait to die. As they stand up and grab their guns to be on guard when the co-driver gets out of the car to check, you can't just sit there and wait to die.

You, who were already leaning against the back of the car, took the opportunity to slowly squat down, then suddenly stood up, grabbed the back panel of the car with your hands tied behind your back to support your body, and flipped off!

"damn it!"

A loud shout rang out!

You quickly ran to the slope beside the road, jumped down, and then, because you lost your balance, you started to tumble, your whole body rolling down the slope.

But in the end, you still failed to escape and were caught and brought back.

The reason is simple: after you roll down and find cover, they threaten you with rocket launchers, saying they'll blow you up if you dare to move!

You angrily muttered:

You made the wrong bet!

You originally thought you were worthless, and that even if you ran away, the enemy would at most fire a few bullets to stop you. You never expected them to be willing to use rocket launchers!

Whether what they say is true or false, you can't gamble on it, because they really do have it.

You can only passively wait for them to come down, and then they'll drag you back.

After all, even if you die, you should die a worthy death; you can't just die so casually.

After you were taken back, you happened to hear the report from the soldiers who were checking the tires.

"Sir, it wasn't a tire blowout! We were shot at!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious.

It's been shot at, which means there's a sniper lying in ambush nearby!

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the woods across the way, including yours.

That's the only place that's truly suitable for hiding.

"Come on!"

Yevgeny has spoken!

Moreover, they can't drive anymore. If their tires are shot out, their actions will become very passive, and they may fall off the hills due to loss of control of the vehicle.

So they chose to walk.

Everyone lined up around Yewen, wary of the woods opposite.
