The order had been given, and there was no way Li Zhi would let Lu Xiaobu, who did not like him, take it back. He cursed under his breath as he buttoned up his shirt, put on his helmet, and picked up the rifle from the ground. He pulled back the bolt and glared at the team member who provoked him, then turned around and carefully moved forward.
One of the team members had already finished eating and jumped into the car to take over Lu Xiaobu's position. Only then did Lu Xiaobu take out a piece of hard flatbread from a white cloth bag and take a big bite. As he chewed, he was still angry at Li Zhi. That guy was such a jerk. If not for the fact that he had never made a big mistake, Lu Xiaobu would have kicked him out of his team.
"Bang …" A military water bottle was slammed on the hood. The team member walked to Li Zhi's side with heavy steps and stared at him condescendingly.
He called out twice, but he could not feel the wound on his head. There was only a bulging bump on his head. Li Zhi turned and glared at Lu Xiaobu, who was standing next to the heavy machine gun. The canteen was thrown by Lu Xiaobu.
Lu Xiaobu did not even look at Li Zhi. He bent down to take back his canteen from the team member and said slowly, "You're quite a prancing one, aren't you?
Full of energy, right?
No place to vent it, right?
Later, you'll go forward five hundred meters to do a forward reconnaissance! "
"Pfft … That's disgusting …" A half-chewed piece of dry dough was spat on the ground. The dough rolled on the ground until it stopped next to a large foot wearing military shoes. The owner of the foot was a combat team member. At that moment, he was leaning against the tire of a Warrior military vehicle. The thick body of the vehicle cast a shadow over him, shielding him from the sun.
The team member was cursing, but the others did not respond to him. Two members in the same sweaty uniform stood at the front of the car, eating the flatbread in their hands. The flatbread was too dry and hard to swallow, so they picked up the canteen on the hood and took a sip. They did not dare to drink too much. They did not bring much water with them, and they could not find a safe water source, so they could only use it sparingly.
The conflict between the two left the third team member dumbfounded. He didn't know how to handle it, so he couldn't help but look at his team leader, Lu Xiaobu.
Li Zhi glared at Lu Xiaobu. Although Lu Xiaobu had saved him, he felt that it was necessary. It was Lu Xiaobu's responsibility, so he would not thank Lu Xiaobu.
"I say, Captain Lü, you're Zhang Xiaoqiang's favorite. Why are you bringing us on this kind of mission?
Ah! "
One of the team members couldn't take it anymore. He turned around and retorted to Li Zhi.
"Bang …" A military canteen wrapped in canvas slammed into Li Zhi's head. Li Zhi let go of his team member's collar and hugged his head as he howled in pain.
He opened his eyes quickly, and the speed at which he retracted his eyes was also very fast. There was no other reason other than the fact that the pitch-black muzzle of the CF06 7.62mm general-purpose machine gun was pointed at his head.
Li Zhi glanced at the team member from the corner of his eyes. He looked at the sweat stains on the team member's back, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he let out a slight sneer.
"Hmph, don't be unreasonable here. Who was the one who fainted after being scared by those two dogs and had to rely on Captain Lü to save you?
If you want to say it, you shouldn't have saved him. Saving an ingrate is really bad luck. "
The team member was a little slack. The Type-95 rifle was casually placed on the ground beside him, and the pitch-black body of the gun was already stained with a lot of dust. His mountain combat uniform was unbuttoned, and his thick chest hair was exposed. Looking up, his collar was already drenched in sweat, and the collar close to his neck was already dyed black. It was obvious that the owner of this uniform rarely showered.
"That old thing Zhang Huai An is really not a plaything. He clearly has something good in his hands, but he insists on hiding it. Does he want to keep it for his children or what?"
Hearing this, Li Zhi's expression turned ugly. He glared at the team member and jumped up from the ground. He grabbed the team member's collar with both hands and said word by word: "You … Brat … Do you want to die?"
The team member who first complained that the rations tasted bad, and then cursed at the team member spoke again.
This team member was in his twenties, and was definitely not handsome. Other than his ferocious face, his pair of bull eyes made it seem as though he disliked everyone. This team member who looked more like a bandit than a soldier used the corner of his shirt to wipe the sweat off his face. He looked at the dry biscuit in his hand that had a hole bitten off, and could not help but curse again.
"You find it annoying?
It's not like I'm saying it for you to hear. If you don't want to hear it, then don't stop. Whoever wants to hear it can listen, I won't serve you alone … "
"We can't go on like this. The entire team of more than a hundred people is counting on us. If we can't find it, I won't have the face to go back. Let's discuss and see where we should search tomorrow."
Li Zhi could lose his temper, he could say weird things, and he could even punch the team members he disliked, but he did not dare disobey a military order. If he dared to disobey an order, as the team leader, Lu Xiaobu, could kill him without mercy. After that, the team would use him as a bad example to report to the whole team.
Li Zhi did not move. He still glanced at the team member from the corner of his eyes and said with contempt, "Yo … the little rat is really brave today. How dare you come looking for me?
You've eaten rat medicine, and you're in a hurry to die, aren't you? "
Looking up from his collar, the helmet on his head was missing. It had been shaved to a crisp, and the green skin on his bald head was dripping with sweat. Looking closer, the helmet with the camouflage cover was right under his butt.
The team member grumbled at Lu Xiaobu, but Lu Xiaobu ignored him and continued to observe the surroundings. Lu Xiaobu ignored him, and the other two ignored him as well. One of them glanced at the team member, then turned back with a look of disdain and continued munching on the disgusting flatbread in his hand.
In the military vehicle, Lu Xiaobu did not eat with the others. After a whole morning of running, he was a little hungry, but he still had to hold the heavy machine gun to keep watch over the surroundings. In this foreign land, he had to be extra careful.
No one answered him, but the team member did not mind. He used his unbuttoned shirt to blow the wind on his face and continued to grumble, "Other people are team leaders, but you're also a team leader. Other people can lie comfortably in the camp eating rice and stir-fried vegetables, but we have to follow you around and eat this disgusting flatbread."
Li Zhi panicked when he heard that. Lu Xiaobu's words meant that he had to travel a mile alone. If someone wanted to target them, he would be the first to suffer.
After a long day of hard work, Lu Xiaobu met up with the other two search teams, but they still found nothing. Lu Xiaobu did not lead the search team back but sat down with the other two team leaders to discuss.
"Li Zhi, are you done yet? You've been muttering for so long on such a hot day. Aren't you tired? Even if you're not tired, it's annoying listening to you."
