The sudden attack disrupted the soldiers' defensive formation. Lu Qilin's first reaction was to grab Lu Che by the back of the collar and throw her behind a thick tree.
Then, he lowered his body and quickly moved to other comrades, dodging the enemy's strafing while dragging the comrade who had been shot and knocked to the ground by the impact of the bullet to a safe place.
The other soldiers behind him immediately raised their guns and fired back.
After being thrown against the tree by Lu Qilin, Lu Che was almost knocked unconscious. Although he was still dizzy, Lu Che immediately took out the signal transmitter to ask for support.
Although her mind was confused by Lu Qilin's sudden shove just now, her sensitive hearing was still there. Lu Che could clearly distinguish that the enemy's firepower and number of people were far greater than that of their small team.
She quickly turned on the communicator and hid behind a tree to observe the hillside.
Even though only a sparse amount of sunlight shone through the gaps in the shade of the trees, she was still able to keenly see the enemy's firepower layout between the sparks.
However, these were not the most terrifying things. What made Lu Che gasp was that at that moment, she actually caught a glimpse of cold light.
It was a scope that had not been hidden, and under the mottled shadows of the trees, the trace that was revealed reflected a ray of sunlight.
The other party actually brought weapons with him, which meant he was definitely well prepared!
"Be careful—" Lu Che's sharp eyes caught the position of the gun tip. Seeing that the other party had aimed at Lu Qilin who was about to rescue his comrades, she screamed and rushed forward.
"Puff—" The bullet passed through the bulletproof vest and hit Lu Che's shoulder directly.
When Lu Qilin heard Lu Che's call, before he could react, he saw his beloved "boyfriend" suddenly rush over from the side and block a bullet shot from the hillside.
“Be careful… there’s… ***…” Lu Che rushed in front of Lu Qilin and uttered the last words.
It was as if all the strength in her body was being drained away. Her left arm felt terribly heavy, as if it was mixed with lead and she couldn't lift it no matter what. There was a piercing pain in her shoulder blade.
Lu Qilin's deep, dark eyes were fixed on Lu Che's face, which was gradually losing its color. Everything happened so fast that he had no time to react.
He could only watch helplessly as Lu Che blocked the fatal blow for him and fell in front of him, but he was powerless to do anything.
"Major General, quickly find a place to hide..."
"Major General, we can't fight them head-on anymore. We should retreat first..."
Before the teammate finished speaking, he saw a hint of cruelty suddenly flash across the man's already dark and cold eyes, as if there was a vicious beast about to burst out from his eyes, with a fire that could set the prairie on fire.
Lu Qilin casually grabbed a handful of guns, his dark and narrow eyes were filled with a fierce look, and he aimed the gun in the direction where the bullet had just come from.
Lu Qilin has been able to climb to where he is today, and everyone praises him for his outstanding command ability and far-sighted strategic layout, which makes him a real military talent.
However, everyone forgets that before he became a military talent with outstanding strategies, he was first the most outstanding soldier-level figure among the younger generation of military academies and military departments of the same period. (To be continued)
