Chapter 317

Milutin leaned against the wall, gazing at the wide open space in front of him.

He pinched each bullet between his fingers, pressed them into the magazine, and then chambered a new round.

Less than five minutes remained before Rabbit and K could break through.

Even after Rabbit and K successfully broke through, they could only buy her a maximum of three minutes.

So she only has eight minutes left, and she needs to find a breakthrough within those eight minutes.

But if she chooses to take a detour, it will take her at least twelve minutes.

There wasn't much time left for her to choose and think.

This is the closest road to the escape area for Rabbit and K; there's only one way left.

"Everyone spread out and get through here quickly! Don't stop, keep running forward."

Milutin took a deep breath and roared loudly.

He then stood up and ran off into the open space.

While adrenaline can have a certain effect of numbing pain sensation and improving the body's stress response.

However, the duration of this effect is very limited.

After the effects of the medication wear off, there will be a period of extreme fatigue and difficulty in moving around.

She had to meet up with K and the others before the effects of the drug wore off.

"Keep up with the captain! Speed up and charge forward!!!"

"Ooooooo!!!"

The soldiers behind them also took off running and rushed forward.

After receiving Milutin's reminder, everyone rushed forward as if their lives depended on it.

The intense running aggravated the wounds on their bodies, and the needle-like pain made everyone grimace.

But not a single person stopped; instead, they accelerated and charged forward.

Everyone knew one thing: this was an open space, while ahead lay a complex terrain.

If they can successfully cross this open area, under M's leadership, they might actually be able to...

Swish! Swish swish!!

Just as everyone had run halfway under the cover of night,

Three or four flares immediately went off in the sky.

It was as dazzling as the sun, and everyone had to cover their eyes because of the blinding light.

The intense light blasts emitted a piercing buzzing sound in the sky.

The inky black night was as bright as day under the light.

Milutin and his group, who were standing in the open space, were instantly exposed to everyone's gaze.

"Oh no..."

Milutin shielded her eyes with her hands, staring painfully at the flares that lit up above her head.

The lacrimal glands continuously secrete tears due to this dazzling light.

Damn it, I didn't expect those people to catch up so quickly.

Their movements were completely exposed to the eyes of those stray dogs.

"M! What should we do now?!"

The soldier shouted loudly, enduring the stinging pain in his eyes.

That's it, now we have nowhere to hide.

M's plan was undoubtedly perfect, but the enemy's reaction was too swift.

"Throw away everything you could possibly have on you!!!"

"Throw all the smoke grenades forward! Block off the path!!"

Milutin slammed the backpack he was carrying onto the ground.

He raised his hand and poured the fuel onto the backpack, which immediately ignited.

"Run! Run for your life!! Don't worry about your teammates!!! Whoever gets to the other side will get out alive!!!"

A roar as fierce as a lion came from Milutin's delicate voice.

His scarlet eyes flashed with an extremely dangerous, cold light.

Suddenly, Milutin rolled sharply to one side and pulled the trigger the instant he fell to the ground.

The thimble struck the bullet's stomach, emitting a blinding flash of light.

The bullet, which grazed the white man's cheek, struck the stray dog that was chasing after him.

"What are you standing there for! Run!! You all better get the hell out of here!!"

Milutin glared at the group of soldiers behind him and screamed sharply.

However, the moment she finished speaking, a barrage of artillery fire from the sky completely engulfed the open area...

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Dark Night Fire - Milutin's Past (The End)

The sudden bombardment ripped off the floorboards, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across the ground.

The visible heatwave whipped everything around it high into the air.

The shelling showed no sign of stopping, and the entire ground was groaning in agony.

The violent tremors made it difficult to stand, and anyone who tried to get up would fall to the ground again due to the powerful tremors.

Warm liquid was slowly flowing out of my ear.

Milutin's eardrums were almost pierced by the sonic boom.

All that could be seen were bursts of fire rising from the ground and flying debris.

It felt like a hammer was whirring inside my brain, and the intense dizziness made me nauseous.

I could hardly tell which way was which, and just standing up had already taken a lot of energy.

He rubbed his slightly dazed forehead and squinted at his surroundings.

A damp, sticky sensation came from my hands, and my vision gradually turned crimson.

"Are they planning to bury us all here with artillery fire?"

Milutin staggered and knelt on the ground, watching the 'mud dogs' gradually closing in from a distance.

Since they used artillery fire against their group, it meant that Rabbit and K had successfully broken through.

Even with a small number of people, the combined firepower of the five groups can create an extremely powerful network of fire.

The 'local dogs' originally planned to capture them alive, but a large number of soldiers had already broken through the encirclement.

That's why he abandoned the initial order to capture him alive and planned to bury himself here.

"This is a real problem. I don't even know how many people are still alive."

Kneeling on the ground, Milutin gripped the gun handle with his only remaining conscious right hand.

Blood stained her military uniform around her abdomen, likely from a cut in her lower abdomen caused by a shard of metal; she could feel the blood draining away.

The liquid that had flowed down his forehead trickled into his right eye, filling his entire field of vision with crimson.

"Was his left arm also affected by the blast wave...?"

Milutin wiped the blood from his right eye and looked down at his blood-soaked arm.

I can't feel any pain at all. Have my pain nerves been paralyzed?

"Captain!! Number Three, Number Four, and Number Six are all dead!!!"

The sudden sound in his ear pulled Milutin back to reality.

She saw the Asian youth who had handed her the water earlier yelling at her.

But to Milutin's ears, the other person's voice sounded so faint.

She could clearly see the other person shouting at the top of their lungs right next to her.

But the sounds Milutin could hear were very faint.

"Captain! Your ear, what happened to your ear?"

The Asian youth stared at Milutin's bleeding ear, his face pale, and murmured.

But when he looked closely, he realized that Milutin's abdomen and right arm had suffered severe injuries.

Blood dripped onto Milutin's body, staining the ground a pool of blood.

Upon seeing this, the Asian youth hurriedly tore his clothes to shreds and used the fabric to bandage the wound on Milutin's left arm.

Blood bubbles were gushing out of a six- or seven-centimeter-long opening, making it look particularly eerie.

"Let's go, Captain, I'll take you away from here."

The Asian youth stared at Milutin's clothes, which were almost stained bright red with blood.

He helped Milutin to his feet and they limped forward.

"A few people are still alive..."

Milutin murmured softly, her eyes glazed over.

Damn it, I've lost too much blood, and I'm even losing consciousness.

She couldn't even see the road ahead anymore; she never imagined she would fall in a place like this.

"No... I don't know... but three people were blown to pieces by the shells..."

"When I came to my senses, all I saw around me was you, Captain. Captain, don't say anything, conserve your energy."

The Asian youth spoke, his voice trembling.

He stroked Milutin with one hand and pressed the wound on Milentin's abdomen with the other.

No matter how he tried to stop it, blood kept flowing out of Milutin's abdomen, gradually staining his palms red.

"Abandon me... I'm just a mercenary... not your partner... Even if you were saving someone else... you shouldn't have saved me..."

"And if you run forward as fast as you can now... you still have a chance to get out of here... Didn't I tell you before not to care about whether any of your teammates live or die...?"

"If you abandon me now, I might still have a chance to live... otherwise, we'll both die here today..."

Milutin murmured with difficulty, her voice barely audible, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

I've already mentioned what's going on in this soldier's head.

In this situation, if you want to survive, you absolutely cannot care about the lives of others.

The soldier was not seriously injured; if the enemy abandoned her and ran forward desperately, she would have a chance of survival.

But if he were to carry this burden, he would surely die here.

"You saved me three times in previous operations... I will never abandon you..."

"Even if we're going to escape... we have to escape together..."

The Asian youth pressed hard on Milutin's abdominal wound.

Damn it, stop! Stop the bleeding! If this continues, the captain will die.

"Ha... idiot... can't you see I've reached my limit...?"

Even if you can get me out of here... I'll die from blood loss...

"Why are there always so many idiots around me...?"

Milutin looked up at the Asian youth and smiled helplessly.

The most taboo thing in the mercenary business is bonds and friendships, as these can be deadly at any time.
