Chapter 438: Chapter 58: Injury is Inevitable, You Must Get Used to It

"An inaccurate message, a chaotic layout, a commander without foresight. You want to send us all to our deaths in a group," Gu Xiaoxi felt that she had to stop everyone from moving forward at any cost.

In the desert region, they were unfamiliar, and now it was a case of the enemy hidden and us exposed.

She couldn’t watch her teammates march to their deaths.

"Woman, what are you still saying? Disobeying orders? If you’re afraid, wait here alone, the rest will follow me," Ah Ke said as he looked towards the other people of Liuli Country.

Xu Shaohua hesitated for a moment, he too had a bad feeling.

But as a soldier, one could die on the battlefield, but never desert in the face of the enemy.

"Move out! Everyone, continue advancing," Xu Shaohua led the team and followed Ah Ke.

Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fists; these people were utterly hopeless.

Confronting the enemy, they don’t strategize but charge forward headfirst.

No wonder Dongqi Country is so backward!

Yeh Bai stood beside Gu Xiaoxi, no matter what.

She would always follow Gu Xiaoxi.

Wherever she went, she would go too!

"Really not going to catch up?" Yeh Bai asked.

Gu Xiaoxi was frustrated inside, "Of course, we must follow. If we do not go, not only will we not see the villains today, but all of these people will be wiped out."

"But didn’t you just say that this is a trap? Knowing it’s a trap, you still go?" Yeh Bai asked, puzzled.

Gu Xiaoxi clenched the gun in her hand and looked up at the moon overhead; the team had already gone far ahead.

She couldn’t help but say coldly, "Although they are foolish, we cannot be idiots. Prepare for a fight tonight."

Thus, she quickened her steps, following the pursuing team from afar.

Ah Ke and Xu Shaohua led the soldiers, following the sound of hooves until they reached a sand dune.

Finally, they caught up with the criminals riding forty horses.

"Surrender and you will not be killed! Our reinforcements are on their way," Ah Ke still shouted defiantly at the other side.

"Asking us to surrender? That’s hilarious. That line should be ours to say to you! Annoying military," the man leading them said with a chuckle as he rode his horse.

As his words fell, the sand of the desert suddenly erupted with countless people, instantly surrounding all the military’s men.

With the forty horsemen included, the number reached eighty.

And the military had only thirty-six people.

A stark contrast that stunned everyone for a moment.

Ah Ke’s heart skipped a beat as the unease he felt before now turned into real trembling.

"Don’t be afraid, their marksmanship is poor, their weapons not advanced. Fire, break out!" Following Ah Ke’s command,

He also sent out a distress signal.

The two sides opened fire swiftly, and in an instant, the air was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder.

Bullets kicked up the sand, accompanied by cries of pain and groans.

All of this happened too quickly for anyone to be prepared.

Xu Shaohua had not anticipated the situation would turn out like this, with the enemy now keeping a substantial distance from them.

Even if they possessed incredible Inner Strength, there was nowhere to apply it.

There were bullets everywhere, impossible to dodge them all.

This place instantly turned into a slaughterhouse, without even an object to take cover.

Even if the enemy’s Marksmanship wasn’t accurate, with so many of them!

"Everyone spread out, find a way to break out," Xu Shaohua clenched his fists when suddenly a comrade fell beside him.

His eyes turned bloodshot.

Usually, they were like wolves and tigers on the battlefield. Now, they were being slaughtered like this.

He truly regretted not listening to Gu Xiaoxi.

"Kill!" Z unit’s capable masters were dodging bullets while charging up the slope to retaliate.

But the soldiers of Dongqi Country, lacking Inner Strength, weren’t quick enough in their response.

One after another, they fell.

Surrounded at the bottom of the dune, it was hard to charge up and engage the enemy in close combat.

Xu Shaohua led the charge uphill several times with the group, but they failed to break through, and two more were injured.

Just as everyone was feeling hopeless!

Suddenly, two figures descended from the sky.

Everyone saw two slender shadows suddenly leap into the enemy’s camp, grab two horses, and then launch an attack along the enemy’s encirclement.

Everywhere they went, people continuously fell from their horses.

That moment, it was as if they had donned the Grim Reaper’s cloak of shadows, killing with a mere flick of their wrists.

Because the night was too dark, no one saw how Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao made their moves.

All they saw were two graceful silhouettes dancing chaotically, and whenever they struck, someone fell.

Their arrival instantly reduced the firepower that had been suppressing everyone by more than half.

The terrifying reach of the two caused the criminals to fear, and no longer did they focus on the soldiers they had surrounded.

Instead, everyone turned their guns toward Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao.

"Yun Xiao, cover me with gunfire!" Gu Xiaoxi ordered.

Yun Xiao quickly dismounted, took cover on the ground, and pulled out the pistol strapped to her back to provide covering fire.

Together with the counterattack from the Z Department soldiers below, they successfully covered for Gu Xiaoxi.

She controlled four daggers, pushed her Qinggong to its fastest, held a pistol in her hand, and while dodging bullets, she carved out a path of slaughter.

Wherever she went, blood splattered everywhere; with every flight of her daggers, someone’s throat was slit.

With each fire of her weapon, someone fell from their horse.

She was like the harvester wielding the scythe of death, her murderous aura felt even from a great distance away.

Xu Shaohua and others were stunned.

Some couldn’t believe that this was the female soldier from their team.

Three minutes later, the last gunshot subsided into silence.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxi fell from the sky, crashing to the ground.

She knelt on one knee, propped her weapons on the ground, and barely managed to stand up.

Under the moonlight, the woman, bloodied, held herself with a straight back.

Her iron-will and bravery made the men feel inferior.

"Xiao Xi, are you alright?" Yun Xiao immediately walked up, concerned.

Just now, Gu Xiaoxi had faced so many gun muzzles alone, and even with her speed, it was impossible to avoid them all.

Gu Xiaoxi only felt a burning pain in her calf and shoulder, as if thousands of ants were biting her.

She bit down, her complexion pale, and her voice low and cold, "Not good! I think I’m injured."

At this time, everyone gathered around.

And it wasn’t just Gu Xiaoxi who was injured; most here were wounded.

Moreover, the number of casualties was over ten.

"Quickly count the numbers! Those who are injured, bandage yourselves asap," Gu Xiaoxi looked towards Xu Shaohua. At this moment, she had completely lost her fondness for Ah Ke.

Xu Shaohua snapped to it and immediately counted the numbers of the Z Department personnel.

Meanwhile, Ah Ke, trembling all over, took quite a while before hesitantly telling her subordinates, "Everyone, assemble!"

There were only a few who could approach and gather by her command.

Yun Xiao immediately pressed her hand against Gu Xiaoxi’s wound. The night wind blew, revealing the woman’s blood-stained cheeks.

She had never seen Gu Xiaoxi so serious before.

"I’ll bandage you! Luckily, we still have some horses here. I’ll take you back to the base," Yun Xiao said. They carried medical packs with them.

Due to limited doctors, only two teams could have a doctor. In the drawing of lots, their team was not chosen.

So at this moment, there was no doctor available.

"Okay," Gu Xiaoxi responded without elaborating, holding a dagger in her hand.

Yun Xiao helped her take off her jacket, cut a slit in her T-shirt at the shoulder to expose the wound.

At that instant, blood gushed like a fountain from her wound, her clothes already soaked through; the bullet had lodged deeply in her flesh, the torn tissue around it white.

Yun Xiao’s hands trembled as she saw it, hardly daring to proceed. "The bullet needs to be removed. I—I should get you a doctor! I’ll send for emergency help, call for Yeh Bai."

"It’s no use! Our current danger is far from over. The cargo that horse was carrying is fake, and the real criminals could come at any moment," Gu Xiaoxi sat on the ground, grabbing Yun Xiao’s hand, "If we’re going to keep fighting together in the future, getting injured is inevitable, you need to get used to it."

Her cool words echoed with the night wind around her ears.

Yun Xiao froze, looking at the woman before her.

It was always her charging ahead, getting injured, and now she didn’t even dare to treat the injury. She felt so useless.

Her fingers trembled as she took the dagger from Gu Xiaoxi’s hand, staring at the bloodied wound. It took a long time before she gathered the courage, lifting the dagger with trepidation, afraid to hurt her, yet unable to bring herself to do it.

"Just extract the bullet. I can stop the bleeding myself. If you delay any longer, I’ll die from blood loss. Don’t forget, my leg is also wounded," Gu Xiaoxi, seeing her reluctance, urged her.

Yun Xiao jumped, gripping the dagger tightly as tears suddenly spilled down.

She brought the dagger near Gu Xiaoxi’s wound, and then, as the dagger pierced into the flesh, she found the bullet.

But she also saw more blood, flowing from the shoulder.

It immediately dyed her view red.

Yun Xiao bit her lip, suddenly hardened her heart, and with a strong gouge, the bullet came out along with chunks of flesh.
