A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

Chapter 172 Xu Huaian is in danger and fights alone

Xu Huaian originally thought that this mission could be completed in a week at most, but he underestimated the opponent's strength and overestimated his own capabilities.

Many problems occurred in actual combat.

First of all, they were a small team formed temporarily and they still needed to get used to each other, unlike his previous team where everyone unanimously recognized his leadership.

Everyone in this team is the elite among the elites. The elites are all somewhat conceited, thinking they are very powerful and having too strong a sense of self-awareness.

Although the six team members had been convinced by him, some problems were still inevitable when they were executing the orders.

Before this, the other five people had been working with the team member named Zhu Hao for a long time, and they subconsciously obeyed Zhu Hao's leadership rather than him.

Another reason was that they knew Xu Huaian was specially appointed as a veteran, and they were not convinced, thinking that Xu Huaian only had strength but no brains.

In short, problems arose one after another along the way. The key was that after the problems occurred, they did not reflect on themselves, but instead made all kinds of excuses. Xu Huaian was very tired of leading them.

According to his previous temper, he would have fought the man into submission long ago, but this was in the mountains, where dangers arose constantly. He couldn't joke with everyone's lives, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

The special operations team had been in the mountains for so many days, and apart from encountering a few minions, they were almost discovered. They never came into contact with the enemy's base camp, let alone providing any useful information to the people outside.

Or maybe it’s because of the lack of unity among people, the temporarily assembled team is always not as tacit as the comrades who have been working together for many years.

Xu Huaian started numbering several people, starting with himself, from one to seven.

The seven-member team led by him had been traveling through the mountains and forests for more than ten days. Seeing that the dry food they brought with them was almost finished, everyone was a little panicked.

At this time they encountered something even more terrifying. The enemy seemed to have discovered their existence.

After drinking water in the morning, everyone started to vomit, feel dizzy and have nausea.

Xu Huaian analyzed that the enemy must have discovered their tracks and put drugs in the only water source nearby, which led to this situation.

Although it was not a particularly serious reaction and they did not lose the ability to move, it still prevented them from walking any further and they had to stop in a sheltered place to rest.

Once there is a problem with the human body, the brain is likely to malfunction.

He didn’t even know when number three’s kettle fell.

Not long after, a patrol team from the other side followed the kettle and discovered their trail. They then sent out their signal and quietly approached.

This means that a large number of their troops will come to support us soon.

Everyone was still dizzy and unable to devote themselves to the battle, and they didn't know how many people were on the other side or what the situation was.

Xu Huaian secretly thought that something was wrong and immediately led everyone to evacuate.

The situation was too critical for him to think carefully. This was a challenge but also a great opportunity. He made a decision immediately.

When he reached a relatively safe place, he took out the small bottle of spiritual spring hidden in his underwear. This was a life-saving measure given to him by Gu Qinghuan just in case. He didn't expect that he would have to use it.

"Listen to me, this is medicine. Each person should take a small sip. Don't drink too much." Xu Huaian took a sip first. As soon as the spiritual spring entered his mouth, he immediately felt much more comfortable all over his body, and the symptoms were gradually disappearing.

Then he passed it to the next person.

Hearing that it was medicine, everyone stopped caring about details and drank from one bottle. After each person took a small sip, they immediately felt refreshed, and the fatigue from the past few days seemed to have been relieved a lot.

"I don't seem to be feeling too bad."

"I'm fine too."

"never mind."

In the end, only half a bottle was left for Xu Huaian, who treasured it and put it close to his body.

"Captain, what kind of medicine is this? Why is it so effective?" asked Number Four. He thought that since it was so effective, he would carry a bottle with him in the future.

Xu Huaian glanced at him without any intention of answering.

Everyone was a little embarrassed, especially No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 who danced the most fiercely and remained silent?

These days they have been disobeying Xu Huaian's arrangements, and have been disobeying his commands openly or secretly, which is actually a big taboo.

However, Xu Huaian was still willing to take out his treasured medicine to save them, which made them suddenly realize that they had been judging others by their own standards.

If they cannot maintain a good condition in the next battle, they will end up making worthless sacrifices.

Xu Huaian could have taken the medicine himself and not told them, but he still chose to save them.

This made several people feel hot on their faces and a little uncomfortable.

No. 7 Zhu Hao took the initiative to speak: "Captain Xu, thank you for the medicine." This indirectly acknowledged his identity as the captain and agreed to follow his orders in the future.

“Okay, everyone just make adjustments.

A lot of things have happened in our team these days. To be honest, if it were in the past, I would have kicked you all away one by one.

I promised General Zhuo that I would bring you back safely.

The next battle will be a tough one. Whether we can complete the task assigned to us by the organization depends on this step.

No matter what happened before, let's put it aside first. Life and death are at stake. You must strictly follow my instructions. I guarantee that you can return alive." Xu Huaian said seriously.

Everyone felt the seriousness of his tone and saluted in unison: "Yes!"

It was rare to see the team so united in facing the outside world. Xu Huaian sighed inwardly, thinking it would have been better if they had done this earlier.

People often figure out many things only in critical moments.

Xu Huaian immediately told them his arrangements.

Number 7 immediately retorted: "Captain Xu, no, we can't leave you alone!"

Others also shook their heads to indicate no.

"Didn't you just say you would listen to me?" Xu Huaian shook his head helplessly.

"I really can't do this, Captain Xu. If we have to die, we will die together. Please don't do this..."

"Yes, Captain Xu, we have put life and death aside since the day we became soldiers."

"Together we will!"

...

The members of the special operations team thought that Xu Huaian wanted to lure the enemy away and give them hope of survival, and they immediately became unhappy.

This time, everyone was more united than ever before.

Xu Huaian had no choice but to explain: "I am good at fighting in various terrains, and I have practiced sniping for a while. I am less likely to be targeted if I go alone, and it will be easy to be exposed if I bring you along.

The enemy must have discovered our whereabouts, so they deliberately planted drugs at the nearest water point in an attempt to find us.

Based on the reconnaissance over the past few days, I am certain that they will come out in full force this time to encircle and destroy our small team, and there will not be many people left in the old nest.

We will split into two groups. I will lead them away to buy you some time. You can follow the trend and find their lair. Blow up all their belongings! Let them become toothless tigers without troops."

Xu Huaian’s words moved several people deeply and made them feel very uncomfortable.

He attracted all the main forces by himself. What does this mean?

Once discovered, the possibility of death is imminent.

He is just a veteran who is temporarily leading a team. He should not have done this. This is basically risking his life.

"But... there's no need for you to take such a big risk to complete the mission. Let me do it instead! I'm a serving soldier, and this is my responsibility." No. 7 Zhu Hao stepped forward and said.

Others also stepped forward: "Captain Xu, we are all willing to go."

Everyone was united as never before, and in an instant seemed to be united as one.

Xu Huaian was helpless. Now was not the time to fight over who would go.

"Military orders are as heavy as mountains. I am the captain and you must obey me.

I can say without hesitation that when it comes to mountain and forest combat and actual combat experience, none of you is as good as me.

It's not that I look down on you, but if I go, I still have a chance to survive, but if you go, you're all screwed." He was once called a human killer, so he still had some confidence.

Xu Huaian's words made everyone silent. Indeed, in terms of combat power and survival experience, Xu Huaian was better. In the past half month, Xu Huaian had proved this with his ability and saved everyone several times.

“So don’t argue now, there’s no time.

We will split into two groups. I will lead them away, and No. 7 will lead the team. You guys should follow the direction they came from. The other party's large-scale actions will definitely leave clues on the road.

Follow the clues and find their lair. If possible, destroy it.

During the operation, do not rush into anything and try to ensure your personal safety. Do not make unnecessary sacrifices.

Next, no matter what happens ahead, you must hold on and don't move. This is an order.

If there are any abnormal situations, evacuate in time and wait for me at the old place at the foot of the mountain."

After Xu Huaian finished speaking, he packed up his supplies and prepared to set off. Everyone gave him most of their ammunition.

I don’t know what will happen to me when I leave this time.

"Captain Xu, you must come back safely."

"Captain Xu..."

"Captain Xu, you are really awesome. I admire you. You must come back safely."

...

Number Three and Number Four quietly wiped away their tears, feeling an inexplicable sense of parting between life and death.

Xu Huaian chuckled, turned around and made a gesture to indicate that he understood.

A person's character is revealed in times of life and death.

During the past half month of getting along, although everyone called him Captain Xu openly, no one obeyed him in their hearts.

At this moment, everyone truly regarded him as their backbone and boss, and truly obeyed his leadership.

After all, no one will refuse someone who is willing to risk his life for you.

Xu Huaian's personal charm completely conquered them.

After the enemy's signal flare was sent out, a large wave of fully armed support soon arrived.

Xu Huaian deliberately left a trace to let the enemy find the direction of his escape and take all the people away directly.

After all, the other party would never have thought that someone would dare to challenge their entire team single-handedly.

The six-member team behind him watched this scene with tears in their eyes.

Seeing so many people chasing after him, a massive mass of them, all fully armed elite soldiers, they were almost certain that Xu Huaian would not survive.

"Why don't we chase them? If we kill one, it's a win. If we kill two, we'll die together. At worst, we can die together." Number Three said angrily.

"Yes, I agree." Number Five is also a man of courage and he couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

Number seven Zhu Hao was also heartbroken, but he forced himself to cheer up.

"Have you forgotten Captain Xu's order just now? If you charge forward now, everything he does will become meaningless.

What we should do most now is to calm down, find ways to wipe out the enemy's lair, and wait for the arrival of the main force.

Cheer up, everyone! "
