At nine o'clock in the morning, the team gathered at the point.

"Everyone is here. I'll repeat the mission again. Go around - hide - blow up the supply point - hide. If any bastard gets hurt and falls behind, I won't care! We are the leader of the few remaining elite teams (self-proclaimed). If we can't do it, no one else here can do it. The captains of the other elite teams will definitely laugh at me! So you have to crawl to the destination and complete the mission. Be careful! Do you understand?" the captain emphasized with full energy.

"I understand!"

"besides--"

"——You must come back alive! I've prepared a reward for you at great expense this time. When you come back, you must accept it in person. I won't accept it on your behalf!"

“…Wuwuwu…”

Those who have low tear points have already started to wipe away tears...

"Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Okay! Let's go!"

On the march.

"What the boss said at the end was really in his style, haha..." Yamaguchi Yotaichi hurried on his way while chatting with Tachihara Masaaki.

"Yes, concise and direct, but full of care."

"When I first came here and was assigned to work under the boss, I was a little afraid of him. He was tall and strong, with a scar on his face. He looked really scary. Zhengqiu, you think so too, right~"

"That's just the appearance that's scary. When we first arrived, if we didn't meet the standard in the assessment, even if it was just one second, the boss would punish us by making us practice more. That kind of pressure was terrifying."

"Yeah, we are an elite team, so the requirements are definitely higher than those of ordinary teams. At that time, we even called him 'murderer' behind his back, hahahaha. Fortunately, we later learned that he was just afraid that we would be like his previous teammates, who lost their lives on the battlefield due to lack of physical fitness. He really has a sharp tongue but a soft heart~"

"Otherwise we wouldn't respect him so much. No other team has players calling their captain 'boss'."

"Hehe, of course, I was the first to call him by this name, it's unique!"

"Yota, you were still talking. You were still being scolded, and suddenly someone said, 'Boss, are you done scolding? If you don't leave now, you'll miss dinner and won't be able to eat.' I was so scared!"

"Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. The battle lasted a whole day and night. I didn't eat anything and just drank some rain water. When I came back, I was scolded for my rash actions. My head is already dizzy~"

"You should be thankful that the boss knew about your situation and let you go. If it were me, I would at least starve you for a meal!"

"Hey!!! Zhengqiu, you were so cruel to me. Anyone with eyes could tell that I was already fainted from hunger, and you still treated me like this!"

"Who told you to disobey orders and rush around?"

"I was mistaken, that person's hair color was very similar to yours, I thought you were in danger, so I rushed over, but it turned out to be an enemy... hehe..."

"...Forget it, just remember the lesson from that time."

"I remember, I remember, hehe."

...

"But looking at it this way, I was assigned to the elite team right after I came in. It seems that the higher-ups can still see my excellent abilities, haha..."

"..."

Tachihara Masaaki remained silent, and guessed in his heart that Yamaguchi Yota was assigned to the elite team because of himself. After all, he was a psychic, so he would definitely be assigned to the elite team. And Yamaguchi Yota was probably assigned to the elite team because of the "connection" his parents found, which allowed Yamaguchi Yota to be in the same team with him.

"Don't think that I don't know you're complaining about my abilities just because you don't say anything. Don't underestimate me. When I was training, at least..."

Yamaguchi Yota did not notice Tachihara Masaaki's uncomfortable expression and changed the subject.

When Tachihara Masaaki heard Yamaguchi Yota talking big again, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to chat with Yamaguchi.

...

"Everyone, pay attention. We are almost at the enemy's territory ahead. Be careful!"

The captain's voice interrupted the scattered chatter in the team.

Everyone immediately put away their facial expressions, looked around seriously, and followed the captain forward carefully.

...

"Huh...huh..."

The team had been walking for four or five hours. Listening to the team members' panting, the captain realized that the long walk had almost exhausted their physical strength. He looked down at the map in his hand, estimated the remaining distance, and raised his head to look around.

"Let's rest here for twenty minutes. Yamaguchi and Tatehara, you two go to the south to rest and observe the surroundings. Report immediately if there is any movement. Yamashita and Komura, you two watch the north!"

"Yes!"

"Finally, we got a break~" Yamaguchi Yota sat down on the ground and whispered to Tachihara Masaaki.

"Be alert. We are now in enemy territory. We cannot be as lax as we were in the camp."

Tachihara Masaaki frowned, sat on the ground and looked around vigilantly.

"Got it, got it~ Come, drink some water~"

Tachihara Masaaki took the water bottle from Yamaguchi Yota's hand and was just about to drink some water to moisten his throat which was already smoking when he suddenly noticed a subtle sound nearby.

Tachihara Masaaki suddenly turned his head and looked towards the place where the noise had just been made.

"Masaaki, is there anything unusual?" Yamaguchi Yota asked as he watched Masaaki Tachihara's movements.

Suddenly, Tachihara Masaaki shouted, "Enemy attack!"

Then he immediately pulled Yamaguchi Yota and hid behind a rock.

Suddenly, more than a dozen bullets were fired from the originally quiet grass, and everyone immediately picked up their weapons and fought back into the grass.

"Hurry! Find cover!" The captain loudly reminded several team members who were still exposed.

"Ah!" A team member who didn't have time to hide in the bunker was accidentally shot.

"Tsk, cover me quickly, I'm going to save people!" The captain looked at the injured team member and said to the team members around him.

Amid the fierce hail of bullets, the captain shot at the enemy while dragging the injured team members back to the bunker.

"How's it going? Are you alive?"

"Boss...I'm sorry..."

The injured team member covered his injured chest, used up his last bit of strength to apologize to the captain, and finally closed his eyes, and his hand covering his chest dropped down.

The death of the teammate inspired the strength of the surviving team members, and under the command of the captain, the team members finally killed all the attacking enemies.

The captain looked at the wounds on each of his team members, covered his injured shoulder, bowed his head and apologized:

"Everyone, I'm sorry. If I had been more careful and didn't rest here, maybe Dashan..."

The captain raised his good arm, covered his eyes and began to cry.

"Captain, it's not your fault. The captain decided to rest because we were exhausted. If the captain hadn't let us rest for a while, we might not have the strength to fight back!" a team member comforted.

"Captain, we can't let Dashan's sacrifice go to waste! We are an elite team, we can't stop here! Now that we have rested enough, we should rush to our destination as soon as possible! We agreed to return alive!"

"...Okay! The rest of you must not die! I must bring you back alive. Count the remaining supplies and set off now!"
