Years turn into wind

Chapter 12 PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

Cheng Yuwei's breathing was rapid, her mind racing with countermeasures. The flames behind her continued to burn, and the enemy's transport line was already a sea of ​​fire, but the situation was more dangerous than she had imagined. The constant clatter of horse hooves from the woods sounded like the footsteps of death approaching.

"We must break out!" she whispered, knowing in her heart that only by breaking out of the encirclement as soon as possible would there be hope of survival.

The leading soldier nodded and made a quick decision: "We should retreat from the east. The terrain there is complex and it will be difficult for the enemy to pursue us."

Cheng Yuwei took a deep breath and followed the soldiers eastward. However, as they entered the dense forest, the enemy pursuers were already approaching. The light of the torches illuminated the treetops, and the enemy was powerful and powerful, and it was obvious that they did not intend to let them escape easily.

Gunfire rang out again, bullets whizzing through the forest, striking the surrounding trees. Cheng Yuwei narrowly escaped being hit several times by incoming bullets, her heart pounding like a drum. She had never been so close to death before, and the soldiers around her were also struggling to hold off the enemy's attack.

Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard, and Cheng Yuwei saw a soldier in front of her fall to the ground, his chest stained red with blood. Her heart tightened, and a trace of pain flashed across her face. The cruelty of the battle was once again revealed to her.

But she had no time to be sad at this moment. The enemy's pursuit was getting more and more urgent. She knew that every second of hesitation could be the dividing line between life and death.

"Miss Cheng, hurry up!" A soldier struggled to protect her, blocked several flying bullets, and urged her to keep moving forward.

Cheng Yuwei gritted her teeth, forced herself to calm down, and ran quickly. The shadows of the trees flickered in the forest, the soil under her feet was soft, and the fatigue of her body began to oppress every nerve in her body. Despite this, her mind was still rapidly analyzing the situation.

Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks, turned around and shouted to the soldier beside her: "We need to create chaos! Draw the enemy away!"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Cheng Yuwei to make such a suggestion under such circumstances.

"I still have some chemicals. Although the quantity is not much, it is enough to produce some smoke and fire. We can use this to create an illusion, confuse the pursuers, and buy time!" Cheng Yuwei said as she took out the remaining chemicals from her arms.

The soldiers quickly understood her intention and dispersed. Following Cheng Yuwei's instructions, they buried chemicals in the woods and ignited them. Instantly, thick white smoke billowed from the trees, and flames erupted in all directions. The enemy pursuers were slowed and disorganized in the smoke, their vision severely obstructed.

Cheng Yuwei took the opportunity to lead the remaining soldiers to speed up their pace and quickly break out of the encirclement from the side. The hope of escape was finally ignited at this moment, and she felt a sense of relief in her heart, although the road ahead was still full of uncertainty.

Just as they were about to leave the dense forest, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from the front. Cheng Yuwei's heart sank suddenly. It seemed that the enemy had already laid a second ambush.

"What should we do?" The adjutant's voice was low and anxious, his eyes fixed on the approaching enemy troops in front.

Cheng Yuwei's mind raced, and she suddenly remembered the last bottle of incendiary agent she had brought with her. Although the amount was small, it was enough to form a wall of fire and hold off the enemy for a moment.

Without a second thought, she quickly ordered her soldiers to prepare for action. Minutes later, incendiary agents were quickly poured onto the clearing in front of the dense forest. As she struck the match, flames quickly shot up into the air, forming a flaming barrier.

The enemy's horses were startled by the flames and stopped, their neighing echoing in the darkness. Cheng Yuwei and her team took this opportunity to quickly bypass the wall of fire and continue their journey to safety.

Along the way, Cheng Yuwei's breathing was rapid, her body nearing its limit. Her injuries worsened as she ran, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, with only one thought in her mind: she couldn't fall, she couldn't let Ling Xiaotian down.

Finally, they rushed out of the dense forest and saw an open field ahead. The sky was already turning pale. Cheng Yuwei paused, her body unable to bear the severe pain any longer. Her legs softened and she fell to her knees.

The soldiers immediately gathered around her, helping her up while anxiously checking her injuries. Cheng Yuwei's face was as pale as paper, cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and her breathing was rapid, but she still managed a weak smile: "It's okay, we... succeeded."

Despite this, Cheng Yuwei herself knew that her body had reached its limit. While urgently treating her wounds, the adjutant comforted her, "Miss Cheng, you've done a great job. Leave the rest to us."

Cheng Yuwei closed her eyes and let fatigue wash over her. The whispered conversations of the soldiers beside her and the sounds of fighting in the distance gradually faded away from the edge of her consciousness.

When Cheng Yuwei woke up again, she found herself lying in a simple tent, and the surrounding environment had become quiet. It was already daytime outside, and the sunlight shone through the cracks in the tent, appearing particularly warm.

She had just stirred when she saw Ling Xiaotian standing at the entrance of the tent, his expression serious and focused. His eyes flickered with complex emotions. Seeing Cheng Yuwei wake up, he strode over to her bedside.

"You're awake." Ling Xiaotian's voice was still low, but it revealed a hint of imperceptible concern.

"You're back." Cheng Yuwei smiled weakly, her voice was hoarse, but there was relief in her eyes.

Ling Xiaotian looked at her, took a deep breath, and said with a hint of blame: "You are too reckless. You should not have been involved in this operation in person."

Cheng Yuwei chuckled, but her eyes were firm: "This is my own decision. Besides, the enemy's supply lines have been destroyed, so we have this chance to breathe, right?"

Ling Xiaotian's expression softened a bit, but still contained a hint of worry: "You almost lost your life."

Cheng Yuwei looked at him and said softly, "If it can help you win this war, the risk is worth it."

Ling Xiaotian was silent for a moment, a flicker of emotion in his eyes. He knew that Cheng Yuwei's bravery and determination had played a crucial role in this battle, and her trust in him stirred a complex emotion within him. He had never felt so deeply that she was no longer just the chemistry PhD who had fought against him, but a partner who fought alongside him.

"Don't worry, I will keep you safe in the next battle." Ling Xiaotian said in a low voice, his eyes revealing a firm commitment.

Before Cheng Yuwei could respond, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent. A soldier hurried in, his face filled with anxiety. "Marshal, the enemy's reinforcements are gathering, and they seem to be preparing to launch a final attack!"

Ling Xiaotian's expression instantly turned stern. He stood up and made a quick decision: "I will go to the front line to take command immediately."

He turned around and prepared to leave, but stopped in his tracks and looked back at Cheng Yuwei. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Rest assured, I will be back."

Cheng Yuwei watched his determined back, a surge of indescribable emotion rising in her heart. She knew the war was far from over, and Ling Xiaotian was still heading for a battlefield filled with uncertainties of life and death.
