The mission this time was full of uncertainties. The deputy commander of the military said, “Salute.” The fully armed soldiers behind the deputy commander saluted the three of them in unison.
This was a send-off and also a show of their backing. It told the three people who were going to the neighboring country that the military was still behind them so that they could rest assured.
Ye Jian and V8, who were standing beside Qin Xiu, raised their hands and saluted.
The arranged car had already stopped at the roadside. A soldier opened the door and invited the three of them to get in.
Qin Xiu got into the car first, followed by Ye Jian and V8.
Ye Jian recognized the driver at first glance and couldn’t help but smile.
Another familiar comrade.
V8 was also a little surprised to see K7 sitting in the car. Didn’t this kid return to the unit a day earlier than him? Why did he come here without saying anything?!
K7 nodded at the three people in the car first. The focus was on greeting Qin Xiu, but K7 was a man of few words. Even if he was focused on greeting him, he still only said, “Hello.”
The driver was K7. There were three special forces soldiers from the Xueyu unit in one car. Ye Jian’s eyes darkened.
In the beginning, she had already realized how dangerous this mission was. Now, with K7 joining their team, Ye Jian raised the danger level.
When she turned around, she saw that the soldier who had opened the car door and the rest of the soldiers were still saluting under the lead of the deputy commander. Ye Jian held her breath and slowly exhaled.
No matter how dangerous, she had comrades to fight alongside.
“Are you afraid?” Qin Xiu’s elegant and gentle voice came from the quiet car. It was very pleasant to the ears and made people want to hear more from him.
Ye Jian sat up straight and smiled. “Fortunately, I’m not.”
“You’re very brave.” Qin Xiu nodded in approval and mentioned something from a few years ago. “I was afraid. Six years ago, I accompanied my teacher to a certain Western country to negotiate and encountered a suicide attack. I personally saw two of my country’s soldiers die to protect us.
“Their blood spilled all over me. Even now, I can feel the heat of their blood.”
At the mention of the past, even Qin Xiu’s eyes turned dark. His eyes were mourning the bloody memories of the sacrifices of the country’s soldiers.
“Actually, they had a chance to avoid it at that time. One of our soldiers hugged the Western male who committed suicide. He was afraid that he would struggle and roll all the way to the ground.
“At that time, the soldiers of this country were also present, but they didn’t realize that danger was coming. They didn’t even realize why one of our soldiers suddenly hugged the man waving the small flag in his hand.
“I didn’t realize it either. When I knew there was danger, an explosion sounded. The glass windows facing the street were completely shattered by the impact of the bomb. I only remember hearing a thud before I was pushed to the ground by one of the soldiers. He used his body to block all the shrapnel for me.
“I was deafened by the shock and only felt a sticky patch on the side of my neck. It was the blood of the soldier who had protected me and sacrificed himself. The major carotid artery in his neck was severed by shrapnel, and several pieces of shrapnel had pierced his back. The deepest one sunk directly into his spine.”
After he finished speaking quietly, there was a heavy silence in the car.
Sitting in the front, K7 and V8 looked at each other discreetly. They knew about the past incident that Ambassador Qin mentioned because the two soldiers who died were martyrs of the Xueyu unit.
