Chapter 139 Big Brother Xu, You Were Injured

There were lush trees as well as weedy and complicated terrain in the final battle zone. The terrain here was so complicated that there was not even a path.

When the soldiers walked in this kind of place, they would consume more energy than they did when participating in a marathon. Because of the altitude, the air pressure here was also very low. In addition, there was no sunlight all year round and it was also very humid. Some animals that had been dead for a long time could be seen everywhere. The air was filled with the smell of rotting corpses. After walking for a long time, they would feel that their lungs were filled with the bad smell.

Every time the soldiers walked to a place where the shrubs were slightly shorter and they could be exposed to the sunlight, they would stop and desperately breathe in the fresh air to change the air in their lungs before marching forward.

The surrounding air was very moist, and their military uniforms were already soaked and stuck tightly to their bodies. Everyone felt extremely uncomfortable. But even in such a wet environment, their lips were dry and chapped. Occasionally, every soldier would use his tongue to lick his lips, but it was useless because the tongue was not moist either.

In this kind of environment, they were very depressed. At the same time, they were nervous and anxious. Everyone was on pins and needles. But they had to be highly concentrated, because they did not know when their enemies would suddenly appear and give them a shot.

It had been almost an hour since they entered the final battle zone. It was also noon. Nobody in the Elite Team had seen Lu Yao since they set off. If Lu Yao hadn't sent back the occasional signals to indicate that he was safe, everyone would have thought that Lu Yao had disappeared.

The roads here were extremely rugged, and serving as the eyes of the whole team, Lu Yao had to find a place that was easily ignored but had a relatively open view. Therefore, he had to march much further away than the rest of the team members.

At this moment, Lu Yao was lying on top of a protruding rock in a bush. A meter away, there was a wild boar that had died for some unknown reason. The corpse emitted a very stinky smell. Lu Yao held the sniper rifle in his hand and carefully observed the surroundings in the distance.

His military uniform was already a little worn out. At this moment, the exposed skin was covered with red marks left by branches and bushes. If not for the fact that Lu Yao's skin membrane had become extremely tough because he practiced the Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills, he wouldn't be able to endure the pain. Actually, nobody else could bear the pain with such ease as Lu Yao did.

Lu Yao clearly saw every move of his team members. They had already walked for almost a kilometer in the final battle zone. Seeing them, Lu Yao was deeply moved by these Shina soldiers.

It was acceptable for him to enter this kind of place because of his cultivation. However, these ordinary people had to endure such t*****e for the sake of the glory of being a soldier. Lu Yao really admired them from the bottom of his heart. If he had not seen it with his own eyes and experienced it personally, he would have found it hard to imagine that there was a group of young people who were willing to train themselves in such a cruel environment.

Lu Yao secretly made a decision in his heart. No matter what the result was this time, he must help this group of young people who were not much older than him get the final victory. This was the best gift he could give them.

After a brief rest, Lu Yao set off. Sometimes, Lu Yao leaned closely to the steep cliff and walked through the thin c***k that could only allow one person to pass through. At times, he slowly crawled forward on the ground. He had a lot of skills, but he did not have the experience of marching and fighting as a soldier. He must be more cautious. He did not want to ruin everyone's dream because of his mistakes. Moreover, Xu Long and the other comrades trusted him so much that they gave him the command of the final battle. Therefore, he couldn't let them down.

With the passage of time, everyone felt that they were reaching the limits of their bodies. The severe dehydration was the biggest problem that the soldiers faced at the moment. Lu Yao did his best to shuttle back and forth between the mountains and cliffs to find water for everyone. However, how could it be so easy for him to find it in this harsh environment?

Xu Yi was the one who knew the most advanced technologies in this assault team. Anything that was related to electronic equipment, no matter how difficult it was, would be learned by Xu Yi in less than half a day. He played electronic games in his free time and it was hard to find a match for him in games in the entire eighty-ninth army.

However, Xu Yi was also the weakest among all the members. He grew up in a big city in the south. He had never been to such a place before. After he joined the army, he participated in various kinds of drills and training, but he had never experienced something like this. In his eyes, this place was simply like hell on earth. He had to move forward and at the same time, he had to be constantly on guard against the ambush of the Falcon Assault Team.

He was the first team member who had exhausted his stamina.

Xu Long saw Xu Yi's appearance and knew that he had reached the limit. There would be problems if he continued advancing like this, so he sent out a few secret signals to Lu Yao and the other soldiers, indicating for everyone to rest.

The secret signals were bird cries that everyone had already agreed on. It conveyed different messages with varying lengths and rhythms. When the soldiers heard the secret signal, they knew they could rest on the spot, and their nerves instantly relaxed. They found a relatively hidden place to lie down and rest one by one.

Xu Yi chose a place where rocks and bushes intersected. He moved his body forcefully into the bushes. His head leaned against the rocks and he looked a little desperate and helpless as he narrowed his eyes. After receiving a response from Lu Yao, Xu Long knew Lu Yao was safe and then he quietly moved to Xu Yi's side and asked softly, "Xu Yi, how do you feel? Can you still hold on?"

When Xu Yi heard the Captain's voice, he tried to sit up by himself several times. However, his body shook violently several times, and he could not get up. He could only helplessly say, "Captain, if I say that I can still advance, I will be irresponsible. To be honest, although I really want to witness the final victory with my own eyes and personally experience the joy of defeating the Falcon Assault Team, I really don't want to be your burden. I..."

At the end of his sentence, Xu Yi's tears flowed uncontrollably down his cheeks. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Because Xu Long was much older than him, he struggled and leaned his body against Xu Long's shoulder. He lowered his voice and began to choke up.

It was said that men would shed tears only if they were extremely sad.

The other team members had already noticed that Xu Yi's physical strength was somewhat exhausted. They also knew that the main reason for this break was to let him rest for a while. They knew he was a tough guy. However, no one had expected that Xu Yi would be so exhausted that he was actually so emotional.

Gao Feng cautiously walked to Xu Long and Xu Yi and asked, "Xu Yi, how is it? Can you still hold on?"

"Big Gao, I..."

"Alright, stop talking. I'll carry you on my back. Even if I can't carry you, others will carry you. We won't let you stay here. We want you to share the joy of winning with us!" As Gao Feng spoke, he pulled Xu Yi onto his back and carried him while walking. Xu Yi resisted.

"Big Gao, let me down! I will only bring trouble to everyone. I don't want all your efforts to be ruined because of me." Xu Yi wanted to struggle, but he had no strength at all. Now he was tightly held by Gao Feng's arms. He was carried by Gao Feng on the back and could not move.

Xu Long was also moved by Gao Feng's actions. He felt that this was the spirit of a team. He also vaguely understood the good intentions of the leaders to let them have the decisive battle here.

Lu Yao saw everything clearly from a distance. He was moved, but he also knew that the responsibility on his shoulders was greater. Gao Feng was carrying Xu Yi on his back and it was easy to attract the attention of their enemies. Therefore, Lu Yao had to expand his scope of investigation. It had been five or six hundred meters, at most seven or eight hundred meters. Now he had to expand the scope of investigation to more than one kilometer. Only in this way could he ensure the safety of the team.

Time passed by slowly. They usually felt that time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the day turned into night, and the night turned into day. However, at this moment, time passed by so slowly.

Suddenly, Xu Long heard Lu Yao's warning signal. He immediately ordered everyone to hide nearby. Because it was Xu Long's turn to carry Xu Yi, Xu Yi was close to him.

This was the first time Lu Yao had issued a warning. Everyone had their bodies pressed tightly against the ground, not daring to make any unnecessary movements. A few minutes later, there was a rustling sound behind them. They turned around, only to see Lu Yao, who was covered in red marks, running towards the place where everyone was hiding.

"Xiao Lu, have you found any traces of the Falcon Assault Team?" Xu Long asked anxiously as he saw Lu Yao come to the front of him. He was eager to know what had happened.

Lu Yao did not dare to delay and immediately said, "I can't be sure if there is any trace of the Falcon Assault Team in the valley in front, but I can be sure that there is definitely something wrong with a certain place ahead of us."

After saying this, Lu Yao glanced at Xu Yi who was beside Xu Long and asked with concern, "Big Brother Xu, you don't look like you are running out of your physical strength. Are you injured?"

"Injured? What?" When Xu Long heard Lu Yao's words, he was confused. Xu Yi had been with everyone and was carried by them. Wasn't he just running out of his physical strength? How could he be injured?

Xu Yi's eyes flickered. When he saw Lu Yao reach out to touch his right leg, he hurriedly wanted to dodge, but he was caught by Lu Yao in the end.
