Chapter 4: The Past (I)
Gently placing the urn into the soil pit, Shen Zhong picked up the second ceramic jar. Li Dongkui, a big man of 1.9 meters, was twenty-four years old when he died.
Two years ago, the team received an order from the superior to go to a certain place in Africa to rescue the kidnapped hostages, but at that time they could not get first-hand accurate information, and they did not know that this mission was ostensibly to rescue the hostages, but in fact it was a conspiracy of the enemy against their own team, and they did not know that the opponent this time was the black swan of the world's top three mercenary groups.
In that battle, the whole team did not attack, but relied on the personal super strength of Shen Zhong and Li Dongkui, Gao Hongwu, and Qu Yuan, who were not close to human beings. Under the coverage of the opponent's indiscriminate firepower, Li Dongkui, Gao Hongwu, and Qu Yuan covered for the most unpredictable heavy attack.
With such a dense fire attack, let alone action, even standing for two seconds would be completely destroyed, but these three people bought Shen Zhong a full ten minutes, although the space was still cramped, but it was enough.
Covering, counter-killing, and advancing, the last person faced the two deputy commanders of the other side and the twelve single generals under him, as well as dozens of special forces with different combat styles but a high degree of tacit understanding, obviously the troops sent by the main envoy behind the scenes to assist.
Nearly 100 people, 100 elite soldiers, in less than ten minutes, the battle to the point of madness Shen Zheng slaughtered these 100 people. But the black swan, who was coerced and lured, completely ignored the death of the deputy regiment, and of course, it was impossible to save it in that situation.
At the same time that Shen Zhong killed the last person strongly, the firepower that was still fighting with Qu Yuan and the three of them just now covered him in an instant, and it seemed that the next battle plan had already been arranged. If it weren't for Shen Zheng to raise his combat state to the peak, I'm afraid that even if he reacted, it would be useless, but despite this, he only bought himself less than five seconds more.
When Qu Yuan and the three of them saw this, they had to expose themselves, and they tried their best, and the battle scene instantly soared by one level. No one can imagine what kind of picture it is, in this era full of technological civilization, if the almost fantasy battle is not seen with their own eyes, how can anyone believe that there is really a kind of person with ancient legends in this world?!
However, after all, it is not acting, there will be no stuntman, and there will be no director shouting "click" behind his back! No matter how powerful a person is, he is still a human after all. In order to rescue Shen Chong, the three of them rushed towards the scattered mercenaries from three directions, and the area where Li Dongkui was located was relatively flat and open, and his one-meter-nine body had nowhere to hide.
The hostages were finally successfully rescued, and when Li Dongkui's body was found... It can't be said that the body has been found, because... It's all over the place.
It was the first time that Gao Hongwu and Shen Chong had been together for six years, and they had seen Shen Chong's anger, and at that moment, they even wondered, is there really a god in this world? The bloody aura that had long been out of the realm of anger almost really made them feel the suppression of their breath and the panic that they couldn't suppress.
After arranging for the team to rest for a week, Shen Chong only took a military spur and went straight to the Black Swan headquarters camp alone.
This is one of the top three world-class mercenary groups in the world that use killing as the only means of survival. More than 20,000 people are stationed at the headquarters for a long time, and the open and dark guards are like the most sophisticated instruments in the world, running 24 hours a day without interruption.
The military strength of that place is still superior to that of most military bases in the world, because their individual combat capability far exceeds that of the regular army, and their weapons and equipment have been supported by some Western countries for a long time, so sophisticated that they can even discourage the famous Delta Assault Force of Feng Kingdom!
But in such a place, Shen Zhong carried the momentum of thunder, and fought in and out for four whole days, taking away the lives of no less than 2,000 people from the bottom to the top of the other party, and leaving calmly regardless of the injured.
On the last day of that week, the two remaining deputy regiments of the Black Swan, under the heavy protection of thousands of mercenaries, were nailed to the wall of their office by two wrist-thick table legs through their chests, where in their blood was written a large character of Heguo, "sacrifice"!
It was also after that time that the name of the Night King in the Dark World was truly called by those people.
Put these urns into the pit one by one, and finally, he picked up the military uniform with both hands, Wang Qikun, he had no ashes, and he couldn't find them. In that battle with a certain government army, the other side used an AH-64E Apache helicopter gunship squadron, and it is hard to imagine that these battlefield weapons are just to fight against manpower. In order to protect the dozen or so hostages he was covering at the time, the lone seedling of the family chose to die with the helicopter attacking them.
When I lifted the shovel again, it became a little heavy.
"We have no names, no tombstones, no identities, and in the end, even the only one who knows our history will forget us, but I know that you don't regret it. Goodbye, brothers!"
Wielding shovels, eleven ceramic jars, a set of combat uniforms, the twelve heroic souls who once guarded the country, no longer see the sun, no longer see the grass and trees, no longer see the mountains and rivers, no longer see the old people, they finally sleep here, and their souls return to their hometown.
There is only a slightly raised earthen bag here, there is no renovated soil on it, and there are no traces of excavation, there are several plates of braised chicken and duck and fruits in front of the earthen bag, Shen Zhong sat alone in front of the earthen bag, beside him, there were no ceramic jars, and there were no twelve young figures. He sat there silently by himself, looking into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
......
He is from the western border of Huijiang Province in Heguo, before joining the army, he has never seen any world, he does not know that there are so many people in this world, there are big iron shells that can fly around in the sky, there are four-wheeled monsters that can run fast on the ground, and reinforced concrete buildings that have never been seen in this life!
His parents died strangely when he was eight years old, leaving him alone in the deep mountains and old forests where he never saw anyone else. The only two inheritances left to him are a simple wooden house built by his parents before his death, and the other is an ancient book that I don't know where it came from.
The mountain is unknown, and I only heard from my parents that it used to be the place where Taoist priests lived, but I never saw it. There is no Taoist temple on the mountain, and God knows if it collapsed when. It wasn't until he left there at the age of eighteen that he knew from the names of outsiders that they all called that place Tianfeng Mountain! And his "hometown" was just an unknown hidden hill in the mountains of Tianfeng Mountain.
Some people regard it as a scenic area, and some people regard it as a national reserve, but for him, it is "home", and he is the only one who lives in it. Relying on a strange book left by his parents, he listened to his parents' teachings and practiced every day, never stopping.
When I was six years old, one day I blasted a fist-sized hole in a wooden wall of a wooden house, and my father told me that it was called "qi". To this day, he still clearly remembers the happy expression on his father's face when he threw that punch, which was a kind of frenzy that made Shen Zhong feel a little strange and afraid.
When I grew up, I realized that my parents, who were obsessed with the content of that book, were eager for quick success when practicing, resulting in uncontrolled "qi" in the body, which is what the world calls "going mad". So although the cheats are good, some of the content in it is really too demonic, and parents value it so much, so let it go with them.
With this in mind, Shen Zhong burned the book in front of his parents' grave when he buried his parents together.
