Strongest Soldier King

Chapter 57: Fighting While Retreating



"Whoosh!" Another shot came, directly hitting the camouflage suit, tearing it apart, and setting it ablaze. This time, the enemy used an incendiary bomb; even if it didn't kill, it could burn a person alive or flush them out of cover to await a fatal sniper shot or be captured alive by the encircling pursuers. Such a cruel calculation.

"Whoosh!" Luo Zheng, angered, stood up from behind the rock and decisively fired at the enemy sniper's position. He used a three-round burst, then, after shooting, he quickly ducked and bent over, picked up his gun and camouflage suit, and ran two steps westward. After running two steps, he rolled to the ground and swiftly took cover behind a large tree. Not seeing the sniper's shot killing, he couldn't help but feel doubtful. Had he hit the enemy just now?

Time was of the essence, there was no time to ponder too much. Luo Zheng pushed off the ground with force and sprinted westward, running in a zigzag pattern using Bullet Avoidance Steps. Seeing the pursuers already charging up from the side, with no unexpected sniper bullets flying in, he decisively pulled out his Type 92 pistol and fired bursts at the enemy who had already rushed up, all the while sprinting.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Every shot hit flesh, and Luo Zheng took down over a dozen men in one breath. The others didn't dare to pursue too fiercely, and they all scrambled to find cover and lie down. Taking advantage of this, Luo Zheng sprinted towards the west like a cheetah chasing its prey, rushing out about two kilometers in a single stretch. Seeing a large tree ahead, he ran towards it and took cover behind it, panting heavily. Carefully looking back, he saw no pursuers and let out a sigh of relief.

"Captain, captain?" Luo Zheng tried to communicate with everyone via headset but found there was no signal, probably beyond the range of communication. Frustrated, he looked around and heard sounds from the direction of the pursuers. Not daring to linger, he quickly sprinted southward. At this point, everything depended on himself.

"Da da da!" A burst of dense gunfire faintly came from the depths of the dense forest.

"Damn, someone's been targeted." Luo Zheng was taken aback and quickly ran towards the source of the gunfire. At this time, anyone engaging with the enemy was surely one of his own, likely surrounded. Luo Zheng could not just stand by and do nothing.

Minutes later, Luo Zheng discovered that indeed many people were wildly firing in the dense forest ahead. He quickly turned on his headset and asked, "Which brother is it?"

The other side did not immediately answer. Luo Zheng's heart sank. He then heard someone speaking Huaxia Country's language in a cold voice, barely fluently, "Come out, and I'll spare your life."

"Fuck." Luo Zheng was shocked and immediately turned off his headset. He brought up his gun to aim and began shooting at the ambushing enemy ahead. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" He fired another three-round burst, directly blasting the heads of three enemies. Luo Zheng didn't dare to pause, continued shooting, and ran to the side to find a better angle to shoot the enemy.

The enemy also realized someone was attacking from behind and turned their guns around to shoot wildly. As bullets flew chaotically, Luo Zheng quickly took cover behind a large tree. When the dense bullets aimlessly swept elsewhere, he took a chance to pop out and fire controlled shots at the enemy, each shot blasting a head. In one go, he took down six enemies.

At that moment, the enemy determined Luo Zheng's location by the gunfire and charged out of their cover to pursue him. Luo Zheng's expression was unchanged, and he stayed calm, switching to his pistol. In the jungle's close-quarters combat, the best weapon was still a pistol, being agile and convenient. Luo Zheng's gun skills had reached a small achievement; close-range shooting was very precise, and he directly took down several enemies at the front, then began to run wildly again.

"Da da da!" Intense gunfire rained down like a deluge, Luo Zheng ran desperately, using the Bullet Avoidance Steps, and with the help of the trees for cover, he managed to throw off his pursuers with his remarkable speed. He slowed down his pace to catch his breath but suddenly heard the barking of hunting dogs from behind, which shocked him. He quickly found a large tree to hide behind and slowly moved his gun forward. He spotted two hunting dogs dashing through the jungle, with a large group of enemies following them— their exact number unknown.

"Hiss? Why are there so many?" Luo Zheng was surprised to see the continuous appearance of shadows of pursuers, definitely no less than a hundred. His expression turned grave. The drug traffickers in the canyon numbered around a hundred, and here, the pursuers were nearly as many. Explosions were heard in the distance, indicating that others were still pursuing his brothers-in-arms. How many drug traffickers could there be?

"Whoosh!" Decisively, Luo Zheng fired his gun, killing one of the hunting dogs. He urgently began to search for the other dog. The dog's nose was too sensitive; he wouldn't be able to shake them off without killing them. Meanwhile, the pursuers didn't hesitate to open fire wildly, preventing Luo Zheng from returning fire and forcing him to sprint ahead.

As he ran, Luo Zheng heard the continuous barking of the hunting dog. He steeled himself and found a large tree for cover, with his gun pointed forward. While regaining strength, he kept searching. Soon, the hunting dog appeared in his sight, running like a cheetah at high speed through the forest, nearly dragging along the person holding its leash. Its mouth agape, revealing chilling, sharp teeth, and as it ran, its body undulated up and down, creating an elegant flowing line.

"That's a good dog." Luo Zheng sighed, firming his resolve to kill the animal. As the hunting dog closed in, Luo Zheng calculated the animal's running speed and movements. He sharply predicted the next spot where the dog would land. A murderous glint crossed his face as he decisively fired.

"Whoosh!" A headshot. The hunting dog didn't even have time to whimper as it was launched forward by the force of the bullet, smashing into a tree and falling to the ground, lifeless.

"Da da da!" The pursuers spotted the source of the gunfire and unleashed a frenzied spray of bullets that completely pinned Luo Zheng down. Alarmed, he quickly pulled the pin from a grenade and threw it towards the enemy. After hearing the explosion, Luo Zheng dashed forward.

Without the hunting dogs in pursuit, Luo Zheng finally managed to shake off the enemies. Gasping for air, he sat down on the ground to rest. If it weren't for the family-inherited Breathing Skill, his breathless sprinting would have undoubtedly left him exhausted and faint. With nearly a hundred people in a frenzied pursuit and under intense gunfire suppression, Luo Zheng had used all his strength to escape.

After resting for a while, and assuring himself of the direction of the rendezvous point, Luo Zheng quickly made his way there. Twenty-some minutes later, the sound of intense gunfire restarted. Luo Zheng hid cautiously, sweeping his surroundings, ensuring there was no danger before hurriedly running forward. He discovered people exchanging fire in a canyon ahead, one group inside the canyon and another on the flanks of the mountainside, each side feared to number nearly a hundred people.

"Hiss? Why are there so many people? Could it be my brothers inside the canyon?" Luo Zheng was stunned and hurried over. Soon, he saw countless people hidden on the mountain slope, firing wildly below, their attire resembling that of the drug traffickers he had seen before.

After concealing himself properly, Luo Zheng turned on his headset and heard Shan Hu's voice: "Mountain Leopard, take out their light machine guns for me." Hearing this, Luo Zheng was overjoyed; he had finally found his comrades.
