V8 felt that he would need to think twice before speaking in the future. Especially to Ye Jian. He would have to think before speaking to her in front of Q King.

“G3 will provide cover, co-pilot K7 will suppress the enemy’s firepower. Suppress firepower at the left and right of the rear compartment! Ye Jian will cover the back.” After getting on the truck, Xia Jinyuan immediately arranged a battle plan to rush out of the battlefield. They were facing gunfire and had to be careful of any artillery. The firepower was concentrated in the South and the al-Qaeda’s heavy weapons were all concentrated there too. The chances of them running into a bazooka were low, but it cannot be ruled out.

One bazooka was enough to send the truck flying. Better safe than sorry. They needed to make sure that there was no chance they could even fire anything.

At 10:30 pm in the evening, the truck finally started driving out of the smoke-filled battlefield. They didn’t turn on the lights and contacted the Pakistan government forces using the satellite phone and obtained an exit location. G3 drove the truck until it was almost traveling as fast as a race car.

The truck was rattling and bumping up and down. The nearby Pakistan government forces already received messages that there would be a truck driven by people from their side coming out from the East. They wouldn’t accidentally fire at the truck. However, the truck’s size was enough to attract the bullets’ attention.

The Pakistan government forces knew that the Chinese soldiers were getting out and even sent soldiers to assist them.

“There’s friendly support, that saves some trouble!” After cutting off communication, V8 immediately exclaimed, “Rush out directly and suppress the enemy fire. The Pakistan government forces will clear the surroundings.”

After a short pause, he continued, “It’s better to rely on ourselves. Our friendly forces are a bit unreliable. Brothers, rely on ourselves.”

K7 was sitting in the co-pilot seat. G3 and him didn’t fasten their seatbelts or shut the door completely. All experienced soldiers in the Special Forces knew that when they were driving on the battlefield, the vehicle is an obvious target. The first thing when they were met with heavy firepower was to jump!

The doors were not shut completely to make it easier to jump off the truck.

It was more difficult to get out of the battlefield than it was to lurk in. But they had the help of a vehicle. As long as the truck doesn’t burst into flames, the tires don’t get punctured, or the driver doesn’t get shot… with a bit of luck, the speed would increase a lot if they suppressed the enemy’s firepower.

The grenade in his hand was used when retreating. K7 saw about five or six men in robes rushing out in front of him and threw the grenade. The truck went past billowing smoke and fire in the midst of those screams.

Ye Jian only felt a rush of heat coming from her back. Then, Xia Jinyuan, who was on her right, raised his leg and rubbed it on her back.

A piece of ignited clothing was sent flying and landed on Ye Jian’s back. Even though the camouflage uniform was fireproof and waterproof, a piece of fabric on fire could also ignite the uniform.

“Don’t move!” When the truck sped past the fire caused by the grenade, Xia Jinyuan glanced at Ye Jian and reacted. He didn’t think much and immediately used his leg to extinguish the flame.

Thanks to his quick response, Ye Jian only had a little burn.

The truck was bumping and rattling… Ye Jian didn’t feel any brakes coming from G3. Sometimes, her whole body would be thrown to the left, and then the right. Her shoulders were already numb from all the knocks and bumps.

The car kept shaking so the people from the al-Qaeda group were unable to aim accurately. They watched as the car left in front of their eyes.

The Pakistan army started suppressing the enemies hidden in the shadows with their firearms. This gave G3 the chance to drive the car out of the village quickly. Ye Jian felt that the spring of the car was going to break at any moment.

When the car entered the territory controlled by the government army, no more bullets shot at it… finally.

Besides Q King who still needed to go out, everyone felt relieved. Their bodies relaxed. Xia Jinyuan turned and came beside Ye Jian who was stretching her body. He used his helmet to touch hers and said, “Go back and let a doctor look at your back. Check if there are any other injuries.”

Due to the smoke from all the firearms, his low voice was slightly hoarse. He sounded as though he hadn’t drunk water in a few days.

Ye Jian opened her mouth. She felt that her mouth was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood. She took a deep breath and said, “These are just small injuries. I can use alcohol and clean them myself. It’s not a huge problem.”

The car bounced again. J5’s voice sounded relaxed now. “G3, you can drive stably now. There are government soldiers behind us. Even if they are people shooting at us, they will block it.”

“I’m going to vomit soon.”

As for the five people that needed to be sent back to the country secretly, their lives were harder than the soldiers of the Xueyu unit. They didn’t have helmets to protect their heads or military uniforms. When they passed through the sea of flames just now, one of the young men got woken up due to the pain from the heat.

Xia Jinyuan held Ye Jian’s hand secretly. There were outsiders in the car so he lowered his voice to prevent him from being overheard. “This is a battlefield that is not even considered middle level. You can only choose to accept.” Even from her short reply, he could hear the change in her emotions.

Everything seemed fine. Why did her emotions suddenly change?

Ye Jian suddenly grabbed his hand tightly when she heard his reply. After a long while, she said with difficulty, “Captain Xia, just now, I think I sniped… two children.”

The two people should be around her age.

She spoke in English. Her English was good but this time, she seemed unfamiliar with the language as she spoke.

Her heart and voice were trembling as she grabbed Xia Jinyuan forcefully. “Before I took the second shot, I heard their voice. They were at their voice-changing stage. I could hear it.”

Xia Jinyuan, who had been staring at her calmly, suddenly turned serious. His gaze was sharp and cold. He said in a low voice, “Have you seen any children in our country holding a gun? Voice-changing stage? They’re not children! They’re teenagers who have the ability to think for themselves just like you.”

“You are using your gun to protect our country while they are using it to kill people. Do you know how many innocent lives are lost because of teenagers like them? Even babies who were just born were killed.”

“Listen to me, Ye Jian. From the moment our enemies shoot at us, they’re not children or adults. They are only our enemies. They are people we need to clear. They are our targets. We need to kill them so that we can protect innocent citizens and ensure the peace of the country.”
