Global Mercenaries: Starting from the Russia-Ukraine War

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Ye instinctively rolled over and simultaneously raised his hand to fire.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" To be on the safe side, Lu Ye fired three bullets directly.

One of the bullets successfully hit the enemy soldier holding a grenade launcher, startling the other three who immediately retreated behind cover.

[Kill 1 enemies, score +100]

Lu Ye took the opportunity to observe the situation and quickly made a decision: break through on the right!

He patted Vasily on the shoulder with his left hand, signaling him to break through to the right, and then quickly darted out of the trench and rushed toward the three men hiding behind cover.

Vasily took the opportunity to cover Lu Ye, and his machine guns fired wildly at the enemy troops who were charging up.

As they drew near, Lu Ye drew a dagger from his waist. With his mastery of martial arts, the three enemy soldiers were no match for him. In just 10 seconds, Lu Ye ended the battle.

[Kill 3 enemies, score +300]

[Countdown to Mastery of Combat, Firearms, and Shooting: 10 seconds]

"No time!" Lu Ye grabbed his rifle from the ground, fired at the enemy from his right, and shouted, "Vasily, retreat!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Two bullets struck two enemy soldiers precisely in the chest, and the two fell to the ground without uttering a sound.

[Kill 2 enemies, score +200]

[Countdown to Mastery of Combat, Firearms, and Shooting: 0 seconds]

[New player gift pack trial expired]

[New player mission exceeded expectations: defeated the enemy and killed 11 enemy soldiers, earning a total of 1100 points and an additional skill point.]

The information stream vanished instantly, and Lu Ye's arm suddenly ached, his grip on the gun completely gone.

On the open ground in front of the trenches lay many enemy corpses, and the remaining enemy soldiers, seeing that the situation was not good, began to retreat.

At this point, Vasily withdrew from the trenches to the location of the ground field.

His face was filled with shock, spittle still clinging to the corner of his mouth, but now he stared at Lu Ye as if he'd seen a ghost: "You... what the hell do you do?"

Lu Ye didn't speak; his attention was entirely focused on the system panel in his mind. At the same time, he was considering how to use the attribute points he had acquired.

[Points: 1100, redeemable for 11 days of lifespan].

[Attribute Points *2, Basic First Aid Kit *1, Skill Points *1]

[Since the host's inventory is not yet open, please claim the basic first aid kit as soon as possible. The kit will disappear in 3 minutes.]

"Convert all my lifespan points and add all my attribute points to agility!" Lu Ye finally decided.

On the battlefield, as long as you run fast enough, you'll always be in the back row; those who run slowly are in the front row!

Life expectancy: 18 days (death will occur in 18 days due to a ruptured brain tumor)

Agility: 9/10

The moment he added the points, Lu Ye clearly felt his whole body become lighter, and his limbs became noticeably more flexible.

"Hey! Hua Zai!" Vasily patted him on the shoulder, much lighter than when he kicked him earlier. "Thanks for earlier."

After Vasily finished speaking, he looked at Lu Ye sitting on the ground and instructed, "But now is not the time to rest. We can't hold this place anymore. Gather usable supplies. We need to move quickly."

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Lu Ye felt a wave of fear, but he was also incredibly excited. As long as he had points, he could survive and return to his daughter's side.

"Okay!" Lu Ye nodded, then went to the side to collect supplies, and took the basic first aid kit when Vasily wasn't paying attention.

[Mission updated: Break out and reach the Russian temporary defensive position]

[Task Reward: +1 Attribute Point, +1 Skill Point]

[Punishment for failure: Death]

After receiving the new system notification, Lu Ye sped up his collection. Soon, the two met up, shouldered their full packs, and began their transfer.

The muddy ground was extremely difficult to walk on; each step felt like pulling on lead weights.

Vasily held his rifle, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings, extremely vigilant.

Lu Ye followed behind, his heart still pounding.

The aftereffects of killing 11 people in a row were gradually surging up. The feeling of bullets hitting the enemy's head was still washing over Lu Ye's worldview again and again.

Suddenly, as soon as his foot touched the ground, he realized something was wrong.

The surrounding mud was soft and you'd sink in if you stepped on it, but this patch was rock hard, like it had stones underneath.

He looked down in the moonlight and caught a glimpse of a metallic reflection half a millimeter below the mud, as well as a thin, almost invisible wire wrapped around the grass roots beside him.

"Vasily, stop!" Lu Ye shouted suddenly, his voice trembling. "Something's wrong here. There seems to be something down there."

Vasily turned around impatiently, about to curse, but when he looked in the direction Lu Ye was pointing, his pupils instantly contracted.

He crouched down and used the butt of his gun to clear away the surface mud, revealing a thin, almost invisible fuse wrapped around the roots of the grass beside him.

"How did you find out?" Vasily's tone was incredulous; he had been walking ahead and hadn't noticed.

Lu Ye scratched his head, feeling a wave of lingering fear. "This patch of mud was harder than the others, which I found strange. So I took a closer look."

"Looks like God is still looking out for us?" Vasily didn't press further, but his face was frighteningly grim. "I didn't even trigger the fuse!"

He pulled out mine-clearing pliers from his backpack, quickly cut the fuse, and threw the landmine into the nearby swamp: "Don't stand there, hurry up, that commotion was a bit too loud."

The two hadn't gone far when they heard footsteps and Russian curses coming from afar.

Lu Ye and Vasily quickly entered the nearby bushes.

"The footprints are fresh; they must be Russian skirmishers!" the leading enemy soldier whispered. "Chase them and take them out!"

Vasily's finger was already on the trigger, and Lu Ye gripped the rifle in his arms tightly.

"Count to three and fire!" Vasily whispered.

"Damn it, my newbie gift pack has expired." Lu Ye cursed under his breath, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

"one two three!"

Gunshots rang out simultaneously.

Vasily successfully took down two enemy soldiers. Lu Ye's first bullet missed completely, so he quickly fired another one, which grazed the arm of the last enemy soldier.

Left with no other option, Lu Ye opened fire and finally managed to hit the enemy soldiers who were trying to escape.

Vasily suddenly turned and glanced at Lu Ye, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Your marksmanship is so bad, how were you so accurate in the trenches back then?"

"I...I was terrified and just fired randomly. I was lucky." Lu Ye quickly put away his rifle, pretending to be flustered.

Vasily stared at him for a few seconds, then didn't press further, his tone remaining icy: "Don't expect to stay lucky. If you don't want to die, grip your gun tight. Besides, these two enemy soldiers look just like you—cannon fodder!"

After saying that, Vasily turned around and continued walking forward. The two continued on their way, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Moreover, Lu Ye could sense that Vasily's attention was always on him.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the woods ahead. Lu Ye reacted a beat slower than Vasily, who abruptly pulled him to the side.

As soon as they landed, more than a dozen bullets hit the spot where they had just been standing, sending dirt flying high into the air.
