Chapter 1: Scars

The time was 5:51 p.m.

The location is a small village surrounded by mountains with only one path leading to the outside world.

If you just read this sentence, I am afraid that people will think that this is a small village isolated from the world and self-sufficient. But look at the people here. Men, women, and children, everyone had guns in their hands, mostly AK47 and AKS-74U submachine guns, and some even had RPK light machine guns. Even children playing games will have a few pistols without bullets in their hands.

Somewhere in the surrounding vegetated mountains, two soldiers in gilly suits were quietly observing the village. The two of them are very well disguised and blend in with their surroundings, so even if you look closely, it is not easy to spot them.

In the middle of the night, a rough-looking man put down his binoculars and said to the young man with a TAC-50 sniper rifle on the side: "Ah Hao, I can't see the target. ”

"I can't see it either." Yang Hao replied.

"Is there a mistake in the information?" The man said with some confusion.

Both of these are snipers from country Z.

The two were tasked with going out of the border and killing a big drug lord roaming the border. According to intelligence, 50 percent of the drugs in LS province were supplied by this person. Moreover, this person is also in the business of reselling arms, and he is also ruthless, and once gave an order, slaughtered nearly 200 innocent villagers in a small village, and did not even let children go.

Intelligence said that this person was working with the DT terrorist group to provide them with arms and weapons. The DT terrorist organization has always been a special headache for country Z, and it has been wandering the border, looking for various opportunities to divide country Z. Therefore, the two received this task.

The rugged-faced man is named Zhao Hu, a rare special sniper in the army who can complete various tasks alone. At one point, he lurked alone in the rear of the target's barracks, sniping the opposing party's leaders and commanders, a total of seven people, and retreated.

He had been in the army for sixteen years, but he never thought of leaving the army. He said that he would do nothing but kill.

The younger person on the side is named Yang Hao. He joined the army only three years ago. But what made Zhao Hu a little strange was that as soon as he entered the army, he was incorporated into his own army. Just half a year later, he began to carry out the mission. This made Zhao Hu feel that this Yang Hao was a little mysterious.

Generally speaking, if you want to enter your own army, you must have five or six years of military experience, and you must make enough military achievements.

However, this did not prevent the two from communicating. After several contacts, Zhao Hu found that he and Yang Hao were very compatible. It didn't take long for the two to make friends.

Later, Zhao Hu also discovered that although this Yang Hao was young, he was not ambiguous at all in sniping Jishu. Stealth, sniping, calculating, and almost everything is proficient. On a certain mission, Yang Hao accurately hit the target's head from 2,100 meters away, which opened Zhao Hu's eyes.

In the following missions, the two formed a sniper team to carry out the mission, and slowly cultivated a friendship. Now the two are like brothers, and their friendship in the army is also famous.

"You can't go wrong. What could be wrong with such an important matter? Yang Hao replied softly, but his heart was also a little bottomless.

Intelligence showed that the target was hiding in this small mountain village. The real inhabitants of this small mountain village have long since died. All of the children you can see now are terrorists.

There is only one way in and out here, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yang Hao and Zhao Hu also took a lot of effort to finally climb over the steep mountain on one side, dodge many bright and dark sentinels and lurk here.

"Wait a little longer." Zhao Hu picked up the binoculars again and observed. Yang Hao also kept observing the various rooms in the small mountain village, for fear of missing something.

It was getting dark soon.

"I don't think there's something right." Zhao Hu suddenly whispered.

"Me too." Yang Hao returned.

The two glanced at each other, and both saw the alertness in each other's eyes.

"Change places!" Zhao Hu said solemnly and slowly stepped back.

Suddenly, he froze, and suddenly pounced on Yang Hao, pushing him out.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out from afar without warning. Yang Hao looked at Zhao Hu dumbfounded.

In Zhao Hu's waist, a stream of blood spurted out directly and splashed on Yang Hao's face.

If Zhao Hu hadn't suddenly pushed him, this bullet would have hit Yang Hao's head.

The two are exposed!

"How is that possible?!" Yang Hao looked at all this in disbelief. He thinks the two of them have done well enough, but Weishenme will still be discovered?

"Trapped...... Trap! Zhao Hu said with difficulty, and fell to the ground and couldn't stand up again.

"Hu!" Yang Hao shouted, picked up Zhao Hu and ran backwards. At this time, the whole village was also boiling, and all the people with guns rushed in the direction of the two of them, and at the same time, countless bullets swept in this direction.

Yang Hao ran out of less than fifty meters, and there were no less than ten bullets that grazed his side. If this continues, Yang Hao will be shot sooner or later.

"Let's go...... I can't hold it anymore......" Zhao Hu said weakly.

"No way!" Yang Hao said stubbornly, and at the same time held the sniper rifle in one hand and fired a shot backwards.

"Bang!"

The bullet came out of the chamber and flew out in a trajectory, hitting the head of a chasing man, piercing through the back of the head, and striking another man in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

At the same time, a bullet also hit Yang Hao's shoulder. Yang Hao stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but he still quickly stabilized his body and ran backwards without slowing down.

"With me, no one can escape!" Zhao Hu seemed to regain some strength and shouted to Yang Hao.

"Let me throw you away? I can't! Yang Hao also roared, and the speed of running seemed to be a little faster.

"Listen to me......" Zhao Hu kept saying something in Yang Hao's ear, speaking of zuihou, Yang Hao, who was running hard, showed a shocked look in his eyes, and then his face became puzzled, angry, and a touch of sadness.

"Impossible...... Impossible! Yang Hao roared angrily.

"Boom!"

Suddenly an explosion sounded behind him.

The mines set up by Yang Hao and Zhao Hu in advance were stepped on. The firelight illuminated the surroundings instantly, Yang Hao turned his head slightly, raised the gun again, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit a man in the chest, sending him flying backwards two meters before he fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

Another gunshot rang out in the distance. But the bullet was slightly deflected and hit a tree next to Yang Hao. Yang Hao glanced over there, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

At this moment, a bullet flew behind him and accurately hit Yang Hao's waist. Yang Hao felt a pain, his feet suddenly softened, and he fell to the ground.

The sharp pain in his lower back told him that he had been shot.

"Flutter!"

Blood gushed out of Zhao Hu's chest again. Zhao Hu lay on the ground, and began to vomit blood from his mouth.

"Let's ......," Zhao Hu said, pushing Yang Hao.

"Impossible!" Yang Hao roared, carrying Zhao Hu again and running backwards.

"You can't die...... The ones I said to you...... If you want to bring it back, you must bring it back......" Zhao Hu said intermittently, and then suddenly pushed Yang Hao with force, pushing him forward a few meters, but he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Hu!" Yang Hao knew what Zhao Hu wanted to do, and hurriedly ran back.

"One more step and I'll kill myself!" Zhao Hu shouted, Yang Hao was stunned and stood there.

"You go! I can't live, you must go back. You're too young to die! ”

After speaking, Zhao Hu picked up his gun and began to shoot at the people chasing behind.

His marksmanship is also very accurate, and one bullet kills a person, which is the least.

"Be sure to bring those words back. Don't let me die in vain. ”

Yang Hao looked at him blankly, thinking that his tears had dried up, but tears welled up in his eyes.

Glancing at Zhao Hu's back, Yang Hao clenched the gun in his hand, ran back, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Hu, on the other hand, laughed slightly, and kept firing guns to block the people who caught up.

"Whew!"

A bullet flew from a distance, hit Zhao Hu's right eye, and pierced through the back of his head. Zhao Hu tilted his head, the gun in his hand no longer spit out bullets, and his body slowly fell to the ground.

The familiar gunfire behind him suddenly disappeared, and Yang Hao's tears finally couldn't help flowing.

"Ahh

Yang Hao roared in a low voice and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

………………

"Ahh

Yang Hao sat up suddenly, sweating profusely, and looked at his hands blankly.

After a while, he came back to his senses and looked around in a panic.

It was an ordinary bedroom with quiet surroundings. A ray of sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the curtains, telling Yang Hao that morning had come.

Yang Hao, whose breathing gradually smoothed out, wiped the cold sweat on his head and fell back on the bed.

A few minutes later, Yang Hao sat up again and looked at the clock at the head of the bed.

March 12, 2021, 7:04 a.m.

"Ugh." Yang Hao sighed.

Two years have passed, and Zhao Hu has been dead for two years. Soon after Zhao Hu's death, Yang Hao also quit the army and became an ordinary citizen. After that, Yang Hao went to that area many times, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find Zhao Hu's body.

But what happened that day, Yang Hao will never forget. To this day, he occasionally dreams about what happened that day.

It's not that he hasn't seen his teammates die. But Zhao Hu's death was the most unacceptable to him.

Zhao Hu is the closest person to Yang Hao among the people he has come into contact with, even his parents can't compare with him, and it is not too much to say that he is a brother. Whether it's drinking, fighting, being disciplined, being confined or carrying out a mission, if one person has something to do, there will definitely be another person involved. And the only thing Zhao Hu doesn't know about Yang Hao is Yang Hao's past.

It seems that he doesn't want to reminisce too much about his past.

Yang Hao took off his undershirt and walked into the bathroom to start washing.

This room is very small, only more than 80 square meters together, but it is fully equipped, living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Yang Hao brushed his teeth, and from the large mirror opposite, he could see all kinds of scars on Yang Hao's body. There are knife wounds, but also gunshot wounds.

On his right shoulder and waist, there are two gunshot wounds. These two wounds were left on that day.

After washing, Yang Hao picked up a set of casual clothes, put them on, took his mobile wallet and keys, and went out.

As soon as he opened the door, Yang Hao saw a person. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed: "Brother Tian." ”

The people outside the door also smiled. This person looks like he is about thirty years old, his name is Zhang Tianhai, he used to be a soldier in the same unit as Yang Hao, and he is also Yang Hao's squad leader. It's just that Yang Hao retired more than a year after he entered the army. If it weren't for him, Yang Hao wouldn't know what his current job would be like.

The current house was also rented to Yang Hao by Zhang Tianhai at a low price. Zhang Tianhai's family doesn't seem to be short of money, and he has opened a shopping mall, which is not particularly big, but not small either. Yang Hao worked as a security guard there to make ends meet.

"Ah Hao, you'll get off work at four o'clock this afternoon, right?" Zhang Tianhai smiled and patted Yang Hao's shoulder.

"Yes, what care does Brother Tian have?" Yang Hao said with a smile.

"A surprise for you!" Zhang Tianhai said a little mysteriously, which made Yang Hao a little confused.

Zhang Tianhai smiled: "Remember, before half past four, you will be surprised when you come to the Dragon Descending Hotel." ”

"Okay, I'll be there on time." Although Yang Hao was puzzled, he still agreed.

"Alright, you go to work. Andy has something to do today and has taken a leave of absence. You work harder, and count your salary a little more this month. ”

"Then go first, Brother Xiexie, I'll go."

Yang Hao said goodbye to Zhang Tianhai, rode a bicycle, and ran to the company.

At 7:59, Yang Hao appeared in front of the company on time. After putting down the car, Yang Hao walked into the mall.

"Ah Hao is still so punctual." The girl selling cosmetics at the counter in front of the door greeted Yang Hao with a smile, and Yang Hao also smiled and walked to the security room.

There was no one in the security room, Yang Hao changed into a security uniform, smoked a cigarette, and walked out to walk around the mall.

Yang Hao's temper is very gentle, and his height is also 1.77 meters. Coupled with a slightly handsome face, the various clerks in the mall have a little good impression of him. And he is also very good at fighting, and has solved a lot of people who make trouble in the mall, and even overturned a knife robber with his bare hands.

Yang Hao turned left and right, chatting with a store clerk from time to time, sometimes smiling. People who don't know would never have thought that Yang Hao in front of him was a soldier who had been on the battlefield and killed people.

In the blink of an eye, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Yang Hao changed back into his clothes, walked out of the mall, took out his car, and drove in the direction of the Descending Dragon Hotel.

The car stopped in front of the Jinlong Hotel, and Yang Hao saw Zhang Tianhai looking at him outside the door.

After parking the car, Yang Hao ran over: "Brother Tian." ”

Zhang Tianhai hugged Yang Hao's shoulders: "Come, everyone is in a hurry." ”

"Brother Tian, who is here, so grand?" Yang Hao asked.
