Chapter 1 – The Red Army – The Blue Army

In the dark primeval forest, the towering tree trunk pierced the clouds. Huge vines were lazily hanging on the ground. Although the sky was clear, few strands of sunlight could be seen.

The forest was shrouded in a chilling dark green color. The tree shadows were mottled, and the surrounding environment was chilling.

The Seventh Army’s 26th Division was conducting military exercises in the forest.

The war had entered its final red-hot phase, and the two armies had been fighting for three whole days. The mission of the Red Army was to find the national treasure hidden in the camp, and now, there was only one day left for the Red Army.

The soldiers on both sides focused all their attention on increasing their vigilance.

Zhang Minghai hid himself well in the trunk of a sky-high tree.

This ginkgo tree that pierced the sky was at least a few hundred years old, and its trunk was completely empty.

Even if Zhang Minghai had some room to move, he didn’t dare to act rashly. Who knows, there might be many Blue Army soldiers passing by. If he heard the sound, wouldn’t he be discovered?

There was a hole half a meter in diameter where the trunk of the tree touched the ground. Zhang Minghai had been hiding in the hole for three days. His feet were on the inner wall of the tree, but not the ground.

Inside the tree trunk, it was dark blue and Zhang Minghai couldn’t see his own fingers. He could clearly hear his own breathing, but even so, his eyes flashed with determination.

“These recruits really know how to hide. We searched for three days but still couldn’t find them. Could it be that all these eggs belonged to monkeys? up a tree? “

“Don’t talk nonsense, just a few recruits and we’ve been tormented to this state. After the military performance is over, who knows how the Guild Leader will punish us!”

“Damn it!”

At this time, the forest gradually lit up.

Although he couldn’t see them, Zhang Minghai had sharp ears. He quickly identified that there were two enemy soldiers standing in front of the tree hole.

“There’s no one here either.” A soldier noticed the hollow in the tree, lowered his head, and scanned the area with a flashlight.

“Pui!” I don’t believe that anyone would be able to hide in this tree cave.

Zhang Minghai raised the corner of his mouth and firmly stepped on the tree trunk. There were two enemies outside. He had to fight one against two, especially since he didn’t know the enemy’s strength. Being unprepared was the best strategy.

Hearing the sound of their footsteps as they left, Zhang Minghai carefully put his feet down and slowly crouched down. Sure enough, two soldiers of the Blue Army were walking with their backs towards the tree hole.

Zhang Minghai felt that his heart was as still as water as he stared at the two of them. He hadn’t eaten for three days. He was like a hungry wolf as he watched his prey grow further and further away.

After calculating the distance, Zhang Minghai quickly rolled out of the tree hole, leaped up and kicked one of the people behind him at a slanted angle.

A dull thud was heard. The soldier who was hit by the attack flew towards a big tree. His body was thrown out of his control. “Hong!” He crashed into the tree, unconscious.

“F * ck!” The other Blue Army did not expect that Zhang Minghai would have such a heavy attack. He muttered to himself as he raised his eyebrows and punched towards Zhang Minghai’s face.

Zhang Minghai nimbly dodged to the side as he avoided the Blue Army’s punch with an ingenious move. He then followed up with a punch with his right hand.

The Blue Army naturally retracted their arms to block the attack, but how could he know that what they were swinging at him was not a fist at all, but a real hammer. He took a few steps back, trying to maintain his balance as much as possible.

How could Zhang Minghai give him that chance? He pushed himself off the ground, raised his knee, and struck the soldier hard in the chest. Then he pulled a shiny dagger from his boot and placed the back of the knife against the soldier’s neck.

A cold feeling came from the neck of the Blue Army.

Zhang Minghai skillfully put away his dagger, glanced at the two Blue Soldiers, and tore off the blue bar behind them.

This chain of actions did not even take Zhang Minghai a minute to execute. He defeated the two Blue Army soldiers effortlessly.

At this moment, from the tree hole behind Zhang Minghai, a huge red army appeared. Looking at the Blue Army on the ground, he scratched his head and laughed, “They’re all dead, hehe.”

“Don’t just stand there. Take all the dry food and water off their bodies. We’ll use two minutes to clear our stomachs before proceeding to the next step.” Zhang Ming Hai urged Yang Dongsheng.

Yang Dongsheng foolishly dug out food and water from the bodies of the two Blue Army soldiers and spread them out on the ground. Without saying anything further, he sat down on the ground and started to wolf down his food: “I’ve been starving for so many days, at least I’ve sent something to my stomach.”

“Look at you. Aren’t you afraid that the other Blue Army will find out if you eat so openly?” Zhang Minghai said to Yang Dongsheng.

“With boss here, what do I have to be afraid of?” Yang Dongsheng did not even raise his head as he ate the compressed biscuits and gulped down the water before saying, “Boss, you have some too.”

After receiving the biscuit from Yang Dongsheng, Zhang Minghai did not let his guard down at all.

“You are?” Zhang Minghai? Don’t eat them all, at least leave us some! ” The awake Blue Army recognized Zhang Minghai at a glance. He had “killed” them. The Blue Army had nothing to say, but they still looked at Zhang Minghai with dissatisfaction.

“He’s already dead, what else can he eat?” Zhang Minghai glared at him and took a big bite on the compressed biscuit in his hand.

“Why are you two newbies so serious!” This was an exercise! What do you mean really? Don’t tell me you’re going to let us starve here? “

“If it’s really time for the war, why don’t you ask the enemy for a ration? You’re all veterans in the Red Army? You don’t understand this? “

The Blue Army on the ground stopped talking.

“Yang Zi, stop f * cking eating!” Someone’s coming. ” Zhang Minghai’s ears twitched. He could hear footsteps in the surrounding forest. Although it was very soft, it could not escape his sharp hearing.

Yang Dongsheng and Zhang Minghai had known each other since a few years ago. When they came to the troop, Yang Dongsheng liked to follow behind Zhang Minghai.

Yang Dongsheng immediately stopped eating, he clamped his legs tightly, his face expressionless, and his crouching body slowly stood up, both hands tightly grabbing onto the spear handles, not daring to make a sound.

From the sound of these footsteps, there were at least seven or eight people.

Zhang Minghai quickly ran to Yang Dongsheng’s back and tore off his red cloth strip. He took out a blue cloth strip from his pocket and placed it behind Yang Dongsheng, and then turned to Yang Dongsheng and said: “Tear off my cloth strip and exchange it for the blue army!”

Yang Dongsheng had always been obedient to Zhang Minghai’s words, even though he did not understand why Zhang Minghai would want the piece of cloth over.

Zhang Minghai knew clearly that those who came out to investigate were usually the soldiers of the Blue Army. They were in charge of defense to prevent the theft of the national treasure, so they had to come out to inspect.

Zhang Minghai put his hand on the mouth of the first soldier who had been knocked unconscious. His hand was covered in blood.

He turned around and smeared his blood on the corner of Yang Dongsheng’s mouth. “Fake injury and faint, I won’t wake you up, you better not wake up!”

Yang Dongsheng nodded towards Zhang Minghai, and then chose a comfortable position as he laid on the ground and closed his eyes tightly.

Zhang Minghai couldn’t help but smile. This kid was really obedient, and was a good teammate. He immediately fell to the ground.

Although Zhang Minghai did not say a word, his ears were still ringing. He could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer.

“Boss, what are we going to do after we change to a piece of cloth from the Blue Army?” Yang Dongsheng asked with his eyes closed.

“Shut up! If I don’t want to talk to you, then don’t! We’ll move out when we get to the Blue Army camp! ” Zhang Minghai lowered his voice and said this to Yang Dongsheng in an commanding tone.

“Oh.”

“Stinking brat!” You want to join our Blue Army? ” At this moment, the sober veteran of the Blue Army spoke up.

“Remember, you are now a dead man. If you dare to say anything in a moment, you will be disqualified!” Zhang Minghai said harshly.

In a corner of the forest, four soldiers were lying on the ground.

“Look, there are four of them lying on the ground.”

“Look at the strips of cloth behind them. “See if there are any of us.”

Eight scouts from the Blue Army rapidly approached.

“Company Commander, the cloth strips behind two of them have already been removed, the remaining two who fainted are our men.” One of the scouts said.

“It must be the Red Army that has no cloth strips, it must be our men fighting with the Red Army, and both of us got hurt, and at the last moment the two of us tore off their cloth strips. These new soldiers of the Red Army are so useless, hahahaha! ” Looking at the red cloth in Zhang Minghai’s hand, the captain nodded with a gratified expression.

At this moment, the Blue Army soldier lying on the ground was complaining incessantly. With such intelligence, how could he be considered a company commander? Who dares to insult their own teammates like that?

“Company Commander, look! The Red Army is still awake!” A sharp-eyed soldier said to the company commander.

“A dead man is a dead man even if his clothes are torn off. Who cares about him, just let him lie there! You two, help our two soldiers to the camp infirmary. The others will keep searching with me. “

After the Blue Army company commander finished speaking, he and the rest of the men continued walking forward.

Zhang Minghai and Yang Dongsheng held back their laughter as they were carried by the two Blue Army soldiers.

The boss’ trick was to disguise as the Blue Army and not even have to walk as much as necessary, directly entering the Blue Barracks. Yang Dongsheng secretly praised in his heart.

“What’s going on?” On the back of the Blue Soldiers, Zhang Minghai narrowed his eyes and was about to enter the Blue Army camp, when two scouts blocked his way.

“We brothers are injured. Our company commander wants us to send these two brothers to the infirmary for inspection.” The soldier carrying Zhang Minghai said.

The scout walked around the four of them, seeing that Zhang Minghai and Yang Dongsheng’s mouths were covered in blood, and then looked at the blue cloth behind them, he anxiously said: “Why did you faint, quickly send them to the military doctor’s side.”

Once they entered the camp, Zhang Ming Hai and Yang Dongsheng quickly laid on the sickbed in the infirmary.

“Commander, we have two wounded men here.” After the scout put the two down, he said to the commander beside him,
