After the mackerel was killed, his Royal Marines Assault Brigade soldiers quickly withdrew from the battlefield. The curtain came down on the brief exchange of fire in this area.

"Thank you for acting with me." Lin Chi nodded to Woods, bent down to pick up the FN2000 assault rifle from the diplomat's corpse.

If the commander had been seen at gunpoint to his head under normal circumstances, the SOG soldiers would have subdued the hostages a long time ago, and the reason why they didn't do so was because they received an order from Lin Chi on the radio.

According to Lin Chi's inference, the enemy did not attack from the other side, and may have sent assassins to prepare for the decapitation operation. That's why he cowers when confronted with questions from diplomats.

Unfortunately, the guy named "Mackerel in Tomato Sauce" didn't die from being deducted negative points, but was assassinated by another player. However, now that the guy has withdrawn, his goal has been achieved.

Woods didn't pay attention to Lin Chi's approval, just walked to the gunsmoke-filled bunker, and said to the SOG soldiers who had just experienced a bloody battle: "Take the wounded and the dead, let's go." ”

It seems that the captain is still complaining about the choice of the commander, after all, letting the soldiers stay here to engage in the slightest exchange of fire is suspected of sending them to death.

Seeing that Woods seemed to be planning to act on his own, Lin Chi didn't say anything, just watched the SOG soldiers leave, and then gave a new order to Crazy Ivan:

"Go back to the safe house."

"But the battle has just begun!" The bald man looked reluctant.

"Without the protection of the troops, you won't survive here for half a day." Lin Chi said the crux of the problem.

- If SOG doesn't help him for the time being, it's too dangerous to carry an unstable "living bomb" like Crazy Ivan. What's more, the stellar wreck that just killed the mackerel in ketchup is likely to be nearby, and if it continues to stay here, it may be confronted with the stellar wreckage.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Chi also decisively left this place with Crazy Ivan, and did not return to the strategic position, but moved in the opposite direction, preparing to return to the safe house first and then make the next step.

Perhaps because the mercenaries were all killed by mackerel and stellar wreckage, the battlefield was unusually quiet, and the previous mercenary patrols were gone. On the way back, Lin Chi turned on the radio to contact Woods and said, "Don't be angry. ”

"I'm not angry." Woods' voice was unusually calm, not as agitated as when Bowman died, and even calmer than he usually was.

But in that voice, there was a little confusion and frustration, and these emotions should not appear in the leader of the SOG:

"I'm thinking...... What exactly are we doing? Does it really make sense? ”

"You mean war?" Lin Chi asked.

"That's right...... We went on a mission for the United States incognito, and the comrades who died in the mission had to be cremated on the spot, and we had to make sure we didn't leave anything that could be identified. Because the United States does not admit to the existence of such a secret force at all. ”

Woods paused for a moment and continued to elaborate on the tragic truth in an icy tone: "What did the SOG get in the end after serving the United States for so many years?" There was no glory in our battles, people didn't even know we existed, and my dad still thinks I was out there drugged with the bikers, and he didn't even know that I was part of the army. So...... What are we fighting for everywhere with our lives, and then watching our comrades die in front of our eyes one by one? ”

“……”

Listening to Woods' robot-like voice, Lin Chi didn't know how to answer. On the topic of "the meaning of war", even a general with a medal on his chest in his military uniform could not give a convincing answer to everyone.

And for a secret force like SOG, which carries out black operations, the psychological pressure they are under is much heavier than that of soldiers in ordinary troops.

-- When the soldiers of the regular army carry guns into the battlefield, they still have a sense of honor of "defending the homeland and defending the country." And the soldiers of the SOG, even if they die honorably on the battlefield, will only have their birth certificates and identity records destroyed, and will be treated as missing persons on the surface.

These guys who fought for the country are not even qualified to be buried next to the cemetery of their relatives after they die in the war. Their parents, wives and children will not know exactly how they died, but will only be given death notices with the letters "KIA" written on them.

Lin Chi could see that after arriving in Kayaland, the excessive casualty rate of the SOG troops had brought Woods to the brink of collapse.

"Calm down, you can go back to the safe house and rest, it's absolutely safe there." Lin Chi whispered.

"I'm sorry, Commander, but I may be a little out of my head." Woods sighed: "But SOG can't afford more casualties, these people I brought are the best brothers who trust me the most, I can't watch them all die here." ”

"It's okay, you guys should rest first, bring this Soviets back too, I'll act alone next." Lin Chi smiled.

"Commander, are you affected by nerve gas?" There was a hint of surprise in Woods' voice.

- On a battlefield of Kayaland's level, even a top soldier like Rambo is extremely dangerous to be alone. There was no doubt that Lin Chi had made a dangerous choice. But......

"Don't worry, I'm just scouting." Lin Chi explained.

He wasn't confident enough to single out the other players and their soldiers, in fact, Lin Chi just wanted to find available items nearby and see if he could try to pick up the leaks.

Now SOG's state is not too good, Darien should still be sleeping, and there are too many variables to bring Crazy Ivan alone. In this case, Lin Chi also decisively chose to act alone.

However, Woods still seems to be a little uneasy:

"Commander, I hope you come back alive."

"Don't worry about me." Lin Chi smiled: "I used to be a 'lone ranger'. Although in another world. ”

Hearing this inexplicable statement, Woods said, "You did inhale a small amount of nerve gas. ”

"Maybe."

Lin Chi said and turned to the direction of the city center, passing the burning wreckage of two tanks, and quickly retreated into the smoky street.

- There is only one person, but in some cases, it is more convenient to be alone.

Now, it's time for a "battlefield investigation".
