Chapter 185 Heavy Casualties

The receiver in his ear kept transmitting cries of agony. Wang Feng’s heart was all scrunched up from hearing them. It was evident that the Huaxia team was under a torturous battle of life and death and they could hold on not much longer.

Before coming here, Wang Feng did think that people among them could possibly die. However, when this scene came to life in front of him, there was still a gust of anger filling his entire chest.

Born as a Huaxia person would have to die as a Huaxia ghost. Now that his hometown men were under assault, how could he be calm?

“Dang, go and die!” Wang Feng screamed and then took out his submachine gun from his hand and started shooting crazily.

At the speed in which he was shooting, it was as if there were people shooting on all sides. It caused a lot of confusion for the foreign army.

Even though their weapons were refined, it seemed like they had descended into someone else’s trap. How could they not be scared?

Hence, in less than two minutes into the battle, the foreign army headed towards the mist-enshrouded forest to escape. Even the camp station was abandoned in favor of running away.

Of course, with their escape, the death of their men was evident and increasingly linearly. After all those men had run away, they were left with at least thirty corpses.

“Team leader.” At this moment, Duan Yi walked up with red eyes, kneeled in front of Wang Feng and cried out. “Team leader, please kill me! It was I who harmed them.”

“What are you doing? Hurry to get up.” Seeing a man who was older than him kneel in front of him, Wang Feng quickly supported him to stand up and asked, “What happened?”

“We stepped onto one of the mines laid by the opponents.” As he said this, Duan Yi slapped himself on the face and said, “In order to rush forth, I did not think there would be mines buried here at all. So, please kill me, team leader. I cannot answer to these brothers of mine.”

After saying this, a big guy like him suddenly burst out in tears. It was evident that he was blaming himself to the core.

“Get up first. I do not mean to blame you.” Seeing Duan Yi like that, Wang Feng took a deep breath and supported him up.

It was his idea to take the detour. Hence, he should take the biggest responsibility.

His own decision had caused the death of others. Wang Feng also did not feel peace in his heart.

“First tabulate the death count. I can’t lose you at this moment.” Wang Feng spoke and grabbed Duan Yi’s trembling hands.

“Team leader, I…”

“This is an order!” Wang Feng screamed, scaring Duan Yi.

At this point, they had already suffered from many losses and injuries. If another person died, the attacking force would be weakened even more. Wang Feng would not commit such a silly act.

“I’m giving you one minute to tabulate the death count. If you are slower even by a second, I will abide by the army rules and kill you.” Wang Feng’s tone was severe, causing Duan Yi to place aside his sorrow for a bit and start counting the number of deaths.

After a minute, he reported to Wang Feng and said shakily, “Reporting in sir. We have lost a total of fifteen men. Seventeen men are injured and two men were blasted to bits by mines. Their corpses can’t be found.”

The entire team only had thirty-four men. With the death of fifteen men and the injuries of seventeen men, besides Wang Feng, everyone had either died or been injured. There was not one fully healthy person.

At this moment, Wang Feng could only feel his heart burst with unbearable pain. It was as if someone was using needles to poke it. There was only a total of thirty-four men, and half of them had died. Moreover, two corpses couldn’t be found.

“Haha.” Suddenly, Wang Feng laughed, but it was a sorrowful laugh. Within a span of not even two days, the people on the mission had already been halved by death. It was funny that he thought he was strong, but he could not even save their lives.

When Duan Yi and the rest shifted all the corpses to one side in a heap, Wang Feng’s body also started to shake.

These people were alive thirty minutes, even ten minutes ago. Now their bodies had lost the warmth they were meant to have and they could never awake again.

It was possible that they could have become a member of the Dragon Spirit Squad. There were also people younger than Wang Feng. Now, they were all lying with their eyes wide open with a dead gaze.

At that moment, all those people who were still alive could not resist but lower their heads in sorrow for the people who had sacrificed their lives.

Ten or so corpses were all neatly placed together. It was almost like a jibe. Looking at them, Wang Feng felt as if there were numerous big rocks weighing on his heart, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.

A wrong decision caused fifteen men to die. Wang Feng’s self-blame was heavy for not being able to save them. Looking at all those dead gazes, Wang Feng’s heart was full of pain and his face also started to whiten.

Thunk!

Suddenly, Wang Feng started kneeling in front of these people. With one fist he hit his palm on the rock, a rock that was very hard. With his one blow, the rock turned into dust.

“Rest assured. I will definitely deliver your revenge for you. I will let them… pay for the blood they bled here!” Wang Feng’s eyes flashed with murderous intent. That cold murderous intent could be felt by anyone on the scene.

“Hang in there.” At that moment, suddenly, a member called out and supported a person beside him.

Besides those who had already sacrificed, those who could still breathe all suffered from some injury. Now, a man who was severely injured could not persist any longer.

“Let me save him.” Just when that member shouted out, he suddenly felt a gust of wind beside his body. Wang Feng appeared out of nowhere in front of him suddenly.

Wang Feng could not save those who had died. Even his Master would not be able to do so.

But as long as those who still breathed and had not died, Wang Feng could save them.

Although Wang Feng had never wanted to join the army nor enter that Dragon Spirit Squad, now that he was seeing his brothers die one by one, he had to save them even if it meant depleting all his Essential Qi.

They were all Huaxia people like him. They were the strength to protect the country. The glory of the country was all because of their existence. Hence, Wang Feng could not see them die like that.

“Hang in there. With me around, I will not let you die.” Seeing this young soldier who had at least four gunshots in his body, Wang Feng’s hands directly pressed on his chest and injected Essential Qi into his body continuously.

“Bring the surgery knife here.” Wang Feng spoke with a solemn face.

“Here.” Hearing Wang Feng’s words, a soldier immediately retrieved a cold-looking surgery knife from the medical aid box.

Now, the bullets were still in the soldier’s body. If these bullets were not taken out, he would not be able to recover.

Although Wang Feng had never engaged in any surgery before and did not know how a surgical procedure was like, he did not care that much at the moment to save people.

Without any medical preparation and anesthesia, Wang Feng just injected Essential Qi into him just like that. He also started slicing open the chest to do the surgery.

All around him, the team members who were seeing Wang Feng perform surgery on the man all bulged their eyes. They had an incredulous expression on their face.

They only knew that Wang Feng’s power was strong. He was also a doctor now?

With just one cut, the soldier’s gunshot wounds were cut open by Wang Feng. The muscles and also the bullet stuck in his body were revealed.

“Duan Yi, take out the bullet.” Wang Feng spoke and quickly cut open another wound.

“Ok.” At this moment there was no space for hesitation. Hence Duan Yi immediately dashed forward to remove the bullet in the soldier’s flesh.

There were four bullets in total. When the last bullet was taken out, Wang Feng and Duan Yi were perspiring with sweat and looked weak.

Using the metal thread provided by the army to sew the wound, Wang Feng sat by the side and heaved in many deep breaths.

The reason why this soldier did not lose his life was that Wang Feng kept using his Essential Qi to stave off his last breath. Currently, the soldier was not in much danger, but Wang Feng had severely deplted his energy.

“Team leader, team leader, are you alright?” Seeing Wang Feng’s pale face, Duan Yi dashed forward to support him. This prevented Wang Feng from collapsing onto the ground.

“I’m alright. Treat those who are injured first. I will replenish my own energy. It will be full in ten minutes.”

After he said this, Wang Feng immediately pushed away Duan Yi. He closed his eyes and made use of all the time he could to replenish the energy he lost.

Besides the man who suffered four gunshots, the other men were injured but not to the extent of losing their lives. Hence, after waiting until Wang Feng opened his eyes, they had all treated their wounds and waited for Wang Feng’s next orders.

“Team leader, what should we do next?” At this point, Duan Yi asked.

“First, bury the people who have sacrificed. Then we will leave here immediately.” The people who had died would not come back. Hence, Wang Feng had to advance and finish the mission no matter how many injuries he and the team sustained. It was only by doing so that these people could successfully become members of the Dragon Spirit Squad. If the mission failed, all of their efforts would be for naught, even those of the people who had sacrificed.

There were thirty-four men who came at first. When Wang Feng and the rest left, there were only nineteen people. Most of them sustained injuries and moved with difficulty.

At this place, fifteen people were not able to advance with them. This place became their last resting spot. Their life journeys ended here and announced their final farewell.

When they looked back at the place they buried them, Wang Feng resisted the tears that welled up in his eyes and his hands curled into a fist.

He would not let go all the people who had killed them. Even if he had to chase them to the edges of the earth, Wang Feng had to make them pay for what they have done.

These people’s dreams were to be a member of the Dragon Spirit Squad. Now that they lost the battle, and even lost their lives, so they were not able to accomplish their dream. Wang Feng would achieve it for them.

It was not to say that Wang Feng wanted to be a member of the Dragon Spirit Squad. It was only because he owed these people. It was because of a mistake in his orders that these people lost their lives. And this debt was something Wang Feng could not pay back.
