coexist in vain

No. 73, Xingfu Street, the next day

Time never leaves gaps to heal.

"The location of this mission is in the Pojiao warehouse in Dongling of the city. It is very hidden, and the defense force is from the top. A battalion of special forces and some ordinary troops are deployed around it. The guards change every four hours. An outpost, surrounded by patrols, and helicopter scouts at the top from time to time."

Ye Chenglin briefly introduced the task situation, looked around the living room with a smile and asked, "Who wants to go?"

"Dongling? It's a national protected forest over there. A variety of wild animals are infested." Wu Kunyu glanced at the warehouse layout on the screen, "I'm not afraid of being eaten by wolves."

"Don't go if you're afraid." Yin Xiangqian and Yu Wen looked at each other and raised their hands first.

"I go."

Since he was rescued by the mysterious ghostly man that day, he no longer touches alcohol. His spirit is still a little weak, but it is several times better than the previous obsession.

Ye Chenglin looked at Yin Xiangqian with a smile, and nodded in agreement.

"Count me in." Yu Wen stretched his waist and raised his face to look at the reluctant Wu Kunyu.

"Then I'll go too." Wu Kunyu, who was disgusted with the lack of challenge in the mission, pursed his mouth unwillingly, and was no longer picky.

Ye Chenglin, who had expected this for a long time, nodded, turned his face with a smile, "Where's Ji Chen?"

"I... I'll forget it. It's just destroying the supplies, you guys are enough." Ji Chen came back to his senses and shook his head.

Yu Wen, who was sitting beside him, looked at Ji Chen with some doubts.He doesn't understand why Ji Chen has been absent-minded in the past few days, or even to exaggerate, he has lost his mind.This time too, Ji Chen, who has always been crying and shouting to go to the front line to sacrifice her precious life, now just bows her head and doesn't say a word.

Sensing Yu Wen's worried eyes, Ji Chen raised his face and gave him a reassuring smile, signaling that he needn't worry.

Ye Chenglin, who has keen insight, also took into account every move of the team members, every smile and pout.

However, he still said calmly, "Those who participated in the mission went upstairs to make final preparations, and set off after dark."

The four of them avoided a patrol in the dark and sneaked around the warehouse.Yu Wenwen and Wu Kunyu looked at each other, then dispersed, and tiptoed behind the two sentinels on the left and right.At this time, it was the slack moment when the shift was about to change, and the two took care of them without any effort.At the same time, Yin Xiangqian and Ye Chenglin quietly and quickly disarmed the alarm of the sentries in front of the door.

"Quick, go in." Ye Chenglin cat lowered his waist, and waved to Yin Xiangqian who was behind, motioning him to follow.

"Be careful of the patrolling soldiers." Wu Kunyu put the gun on his shoulder and quickly sneaked back to the main entrance.

Yu Wen followed behind and came to the bottom, turning around from time to time to prevent a sudden attack by the patrolling soldiers behind him.

"Who?!" The soldiers in the warehouse obviously didn't expect someone to venture in.Seeing the figures of four people suddenly, they hurriedly picked up the guns that had been thrown aside.

Who?

Wu Kunyu raised the corners of his mouth, smiled arrogantly, and shot his head and face in a circle.Don't say a word.When the smoke dissipated, the soldier who first spotted the intruder had already tilted his head and fell to the ground at some point, with blood flowing all over his body.

Yu Wen dragged Wu Kunyu to run two quick steps, and the two of them hid behind the container at the same time.Immediately afterwards, a row of bullets almost passed by.

Even in the battle, Ye Chenglin, who never changed his smile, stuck himself in a blind spot where the opponent couldn't reach, aimed at the communication soldier who wanted to get in touch with the helicopter in the air, and killed him with one shot.Yin Xiangqian, who had been looking for a good hiding place since he entered the door, while changing the magazine, saw with admiration another communication soldier who wanted to ask for help from the outside world fell under Ye Chenglin's gun.

But this time the two groups of four played by surprise, and caught the opponent by surprise in the early stages of the battle.But soon, the disadvantage of insufficient manpower was exposed.After the soldiers in the warehouse reacted, they found a cover and quickly counterattacked.The situation of the two sides has been stalemate.Ammunition flew across the space deliberately left between each other, and gun fog was everywhere.

Ye Chenglin shifted his position under the cover of Wu Kunyu's frenzied strafing, but he couldn't get close to the target ammunition behind him at all.

"This won't work!" Yu Wen also discovered this problem.But the opponent's fire attack was too fierce, and he couldn't get close to the ammunition to be blown up.

"Separate action." Quick Gun eliminated a heavy machine gunner on the other side, and Ye Chenglin issued a four-word order from the corner of his bloodthirsty raised mouth.

After receiving the order, Wu Kunyu and Yu Wen looked at each other.The tacit understanding of fighting side by side for many years made them understand that it was time for Wu Kunyu to use strong firepower as a cover without saying a word, and Yu Wen took the opportunity to move forward and cover Wu Kunyu again.

Yin Xiangqian was a little dizzy from the scorching heat wave from the gun being ejected from the chamber.After leaving the gun for too long, I almost forget why I chose to hold it tightly in the first place.Yin Xiangqian took advantage of the weakening of the opponent's firepower, leaned out and hit the enemy head-on.But as long as you look carefully, you can see that his hand holding the gun is already trembling.Just now, the muzzle of the gun was raised when the shooting was over.This is the performance of almost losing control of the recoil of the gun.

"You're exhausted?"

There was a sudden question behind him.

Yin Xiangqian, who was already highly nervous, tensed every nerve silently.

"It seems that it is not as easy as imagined." The man squinted and glanced around, and the deterrent power of seeing the whole audience is self-evident.

"Don't look for it, Ji Chen didn't come." Yin Xiangqian lowered his eyelids slightly, and let someone hold him with a gun and take him to a corner of the warehouse far away from the exchange of fire.

Separated by the huge container, the sound of the battle not far away even became a little hazy.In a trance, Yin Xiangqian was a little immersed in such a noisy background sound, and his mind went blank.

"What are you thinking about?"

The person who came put away the gun that was on his waist, and asked a question that was not salty or bland.

"I was thinking, if it was Zheng Chenglie, he would definitely not accept such a task with such a bad review." Yin Xiangqian came back to his senses, looked at Zheng Chenglie who was still stalwart in front of him, and the corners of his eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape.

"Yes."

"So Zheng Chenglie, why are you here?" Yin Xiangqian raised his head slightly, looking at his former teammates standing opposite him with guns.His expression was a little indescribably cold.

"What do you think?" The other party asked without answering.

"I don't know." He paused, then shook his head, and his mouth was full of bitterness. "From the time you left the second group, I found that I couldn't understand you. Or, from the very beginning, we never understood you."

"But it doesn't matter whether I understand you or not." Yin Xiangqian frowned gradually.

"I heard that Guan Mao died in X a few days ago. He treated you so sincerely, you are willing to give up. Then you are only a teammate who has worked with him before, how can you be merciful?"

Zheng Chenglie just looked at Yin Xiangqian who was so cold-spoken and cold-faced, without a word to refute.He silently raised his gun and pointed it at Yin Xiangqian's chest.

Yin Xiangqian looked at Zheng Chenglie quietly, but actually smiled slightly.

The muzzle of the cold black hole pierces through the thin clothing.It turned out that what Qi Guangzhen felt at that time was the cold that penetrated into the bone marrow, and the unspeakable sadness that ran through the blood of his whole body.

"May I ask why?" He looked at Zheng Chenglie firmly.

"Privately tampering with the mission."

"Tamping up the mission without permission? Me?" This is simply nonsense.Yin Xiangqian opened his eyes unconsciously, and said with a smile, "I, how could I..."

"The higher-ups have never issued a mission to kill Qi Guangzhen."

"What... what?"

"The order you have received is false. The higher-ups are investigating." Zheng Chenglie said in a business-like tone, very cold and ruthless.

"Now the suspicion is on me?" Yin Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled mockingly, "That's right, Guan Mao is dead, and no one in the group can do it so seamlessly except me. There is no one more than me." There is a motive."

He paused, and then continued, "It's just that everyone else is dead, so it's too late to tell me that it was a manslaughter. It's too late."

Zheng Chenglie looked at Yin Xiangqian, frowning silently.

"Brother Zheng, are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"A lot of things." Yin Xiangqian lowered his head, seemingly thoughtful, "Brother, do people become cowardly when they grow up?"

In the past, Yin Xiangqian was afraid of not being able to shoot correctly, afraid of being exposed as an undercover agent, afraid of mission failure, most afraid of Qi Guangzhen ignoring him, but he was not afraid of death; but now Yin Xiangqian is not afraid of the sky, the earth, the miss of the mission, and even the betrayal of Qi Guangzhen , but only afraid of death.

The constant sound of gunshots melted into the silence to fill the void.

"Brother." Yin Xiangqian called out, "Guangzhen, Qi Guangzhen...is he really dead?"

Zheng Chenglie's hand holding the gun was slightly stiff, but he still nodded.The face is colder than the distant stars in the sky, the cold well water behind the house, and the dreams and hopes that have long been shattered.

Then he pulled the trigger.

Yin Xiangqian fell to the ground in response.Blood gushed out of his body irresistibly.He felt a deep powerlessness surrounding him, but he still tried his best to tilt his head, raising his hand as if to catch the moon.Unexpectedly, the hazy moonlight blurred his vision.

"Guangzhen...our Guangzhen..."

In the end he cried out in pain.
