Chapter 1: Under Siege

The forests of the delta are exceptionally humid.

The strange cries of various animals envelop the entire forest in an eerie and noisy environment.

At this moment, there was no sound in the whole forest, and it was unusually quiet, adding a bit of loneliness and horror to the already gloomy environment.

A whisper spread through the woods, so faint that if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear anyone talking.

"Captain, we've been fighting fiercely for three days, if we continue like this, how can we still have the strength to fight?" An African, as black as the bottom of a pot, spoke in a fluent native African dialect.

"Yes, captain, we have used up more than half of our food and ammunition, and it is not a way to continue to hide!" A snow-white American, speaking in fluent English.

"With the captain here, he naturally has a way, what are you panicking about?" A large, muscular German man, with bullets hanging everywhere and a heavy machine gun in his hand, said disdainfully.

"I think we have to find a relatively safe place, straighten it out, and rearrange our tactics, otherwise, we will definitely not be able to get out of this forest." A Frenchman with red hair preached thoughtfully.

At this moment, Xiao Wei was looking around solemnly and checking the environment, he was the captain of this team and must be responsible for the safety of each member's life.

"I've looked at the environment here, it's quite hidden, and we'll rest here for the night tonight." Xiao Wei did not answer his companion's question directly, but only said his own words, and took the lead in sitting down.

The captain sat down, and the others had to follow suit.

The scene was extremely quiet, and the moans of the injured players could be faintly heard.

Looking at the painful wounded on the side, Xiao Wei's face was extremely heavy.

Originally, the superiors gave them a very simple task this time, blocking the enemy's support team headquarters.

But this is not the case, as soon as they entered the ambush area, they were surrounded by the enemy, and it was not a simple blockade as the superiors said.

After a desperate struggle, they sacrificed the lives of several brothers to fight a bloody path.

Otherwise, they would have fallen under the enemy's guns.

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Wei felt that something was very wrong, and there was a sense of foreboding, they might have been used as bait and abandoned by the troops.

Xiao Wei didn't dare to tell his brothers about this idea, he knew that two of these people were quite impulsive, and in the current situation, he should not tell everyone about this conjecture, for fear of missing a big thing.

"Cassie, count the numbers, how many more do we have to fight?" Xiao Wei looked at the black African man with a serious expression and asked.

"Captain, we have suffered heavy casualties this time, four dead and three seriously wounded, and now there are only five people who can fight." Cassie said with a dejected look on her face.

After listening to Cassie's report, Xiao Wei's expression became more serious, this mission, they suffered heavy casualties, this was the heaviest since he led the team.

The team led by Xiao Wei only had one member die at one time, and it was precisely because of this that Xiao Wei's name was very loud among the mercenaries, and everyone knew it.

And this time, four people died and three were seriously injured at one time, which made everyone not sad.

"Captain, I feel that this mission is a little unusual, originally the superior said it was a simple mission, but it is not the case." It was James, a white American who spoke, and it was clear that he was skeptical of the nature of the mission.

"Yes, Captain, I'm thinking the same as James, how could we be surrounded by the enemy when we have entered the battlefield? Isn't there any other reason for this? The French red-haired Federi followed closely.

"What's the reason, isn't it the same as the previous battle?" The German muscular man Boll spoke in a loud voice, looking honest and honest, and the heavy machine gun in his hand was quite stable.

Pol's words provoked everyone, only Xiao Wei's expression remained in a serious state, how could he not understand that this mission was a little strange, but he believed in his superiors too much, so it led to this major mistake and the loss of so many brothers.

If he hadn't been in a hurry and changed his strategy temporarily, their team would have fallen under the enemy's guns and would have died in a stun.

"Brothers, this mission is indeed a bit unusual, something happened suddenly, Federi is right, we have to rearrange the strategy, everyone can think about it, see if we can think of any way."

According to Xiao Wei's preliminary analysis, there were only three situations they encountered this time, one was that there were traitors in their team, the second was that the enemy's strength was too strong, and the third was that someone at the headquarters betrayed them.

Extrapolating from what is happening so far, the first scenario is completely impossible, their brothers cannot be traitors at all,

The second option is also unlikely, if the enemy's strength is too strong, they will not be able to break out of the encirclement at all.

Neither of the above two scenarios is possible, then there is only a third case, where someone at the headquarters betrays them.

But at headquarters, there was only one person who knew about their team, Jack.

The atmosphere of the group was endless, and they wished to immediately divide Jack's five horses and cut them with a thousand knives, but Jack was far away in the sky, and they couldn't touch it at all, so they could only sulk.

"Okay, brothers, even if the headquarters doesn't want us and abandon us, we can complete this mission as usual, and we have to get out of here alive as usual." Xiao Wei encouraged his companions, although he didn't have any bottom in his heart, he couldn't let his companions lose the confidence to survive.

"Captain, as long as you are here, we are not afraid of anything, we all believe in you, you can take us with you, as long as I can get out alive, I must kill that bastard Jack." Pol said indignantly, clenching his machine gun.

"Yes, captain, we all believe that you are the mercenary king, we have been following you all these years, and this time is no exception, no matter what decision you make, we will follow you."

Federi also said, only Cassie and James did not speak, but their eyes had already told Xiao Wei that they would definitely fight with him to the end.

"Since my brothers trust me, I won't talk too much nonsense, we are all the elites of mercenaries, I am only to blame for being careless when we are betrayed this time, but it doesn't matter, I will definitely lead everyone out of this forest alive." Looking at the brothers looking at him with expectant eyes, Xiao Wei's blood began to boil.

"Bol, count the food and ammunition, we have to save it." Xiao Wei reminded that although everyone is an old mercenary, there is no need to talk about these superficial truths, but as the captain, Xiao Wei needs to explain it again, and he is also responsible for the safety of his subordinates.

"Captain, after three days of fighting, we are running out of food and ammunition, and when we get to Zuihou, we can only engage in hand-to-hand combat." Pol said excitedly, showing off his strong muscles from time to time.

"Next, we have to leave food for our wounded team members to eat, and we have to save some ammunition, we can't leave any brother behind, everyone has a wounded brother." Xiao Wei ordered.

"Don't worry, captain, there's no way we'll give up any of our brothers." James added.

Xiao Wei is notoriously moralistic, no one in the mercenaries does not know, he never abandons his brothers, even this time, he knows that maybe they will not have a chance to leave this forest alive, but he will still choose to take these injured teammates.

"Now we have to keep vigil in shifts, one person for two hours, first by me, then Cassie, James, Pol, Federi, now you all go and rest, when the time comes, I will call you."

After Xiao Wei finished speaking, everyone found a place that was more comfortable and fell asleep.

Looking at his teammates who were sleeping soundly, Xiao Wei had a long-lost smile on his face.

I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, constantly fighting, running, hiding, I was really tired, how could I not sleep soundly.

Looking around, he didn't find anything abnormal, Xiao Wei found a comfortable place to sit down, took out a Chinese brand cigarette and lit it, and the smoke was flickering.

Zhonghua brand cigarettes are Xiao Wei's only choice, because this kind of cigarette is his father's favorite brand.

When the moon was in the sky, Xiao Wei raised his head, looked at the silver-white moonlight, his eyes began to be hazy, he lowered his head, threw away the cigarette that was still half unfinished, took out the residual jade he carried with him, and touched it carefully.

This is only half of the jade, and the other half is in Xiao Wei's younger brother, whom he has not seen for many years, which Xiao Wei's mother told him before she died.

Thinking of his mother, tears couldn't help but slide down his face, and under the moonlight, it was like crystal, crystal clear.

Xiao Wei didn't dare to forget the instructions his mother left him before she died: "Son, you must find your lost father and brother, for so many years, I have not been able to find them, this is my biggest regret in this life, my mother has no other requirements, I just hope that you can complete this matter for me, so, I will die blindly..." Thinking of this, Xiao Wei's tears had already overflowed.

When the flood caused the family of four to be swept apart by the flood, their father and brother are still uncertain.

"Child, mom can't take care of you anymore, in the days to come, you have to learn to take care of yourself, so that you can live, find your father and brother, your brother has a piece of jade pendant that is exactly the same as yours, together it is a 'Xi' word, you must remember, you must remember..." After saying these few words, Xiao Wei's mother passed away and left the west, leaving Xiao Wei alone.

Xiao Wei held the remnant jade tightly and called out softly, "Mom..." For so many years, he failed to find his father and brother, which is his only regret.

He had sworn at his mother's grave that he would find his father and brother and fulfill his mother's last wish, but now, the situation is very bad and not optimistic.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Xiao Wei regained his spirits, this moment, this is not the time for him to be sad and sad, if he wants to fulfill his mother's deathbed wish, he must leave this forest alive.

It was late at night, the forest was unusually quiet, and the bright moon was still swaying silver sand wantonly.

Xiao Wei knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and a cruel battle was waiting for him
