Chapter 42: The Journey

Oransley remained silent. Withdrawing from the battle had always been the outcome he had hoped for, but when the Battle Hero Song said this, a faint sense of disappointment welled up in his heart.
"Bang!"
……
Oransli was stunned, Zhao Haiping was stunned, and Bai Yi was stunned too!
At that moment, Zhanxiage actually bent his unbent knees toward Oransley, and with a loud "bang," he slammed them hard right in front of Oransley. He glared at Oransley and shouted, "Oransli, we've fought side by side for a month. In my heart, I already consider you my most trusted combat partner and brother. I, Zhanxiage, have a favor to ask of you—I hope you can agree!" ”
Oransli rushed forward to help Zhanxiage up. In this world, who could possibly bear the kneeling of such an iron-blooded soldier?!
Zhanxiage was like a nail stuck in the ground. After a jungle chase with fewer troops, even Oransley was completely exhausted, yet he didn't lift Zhanxiage up. Zhan Xiagege pointed at Bai Yi, who was standing dazed to the side, clutching his lower abdomen, but blood still seeped from the bandages and between his fingers. He roared wildly: "All for my miserable life, Zhan Xiaoge! My instructor died, his brothers and comrades died too, and they all died before my eyes. I will never forget the blood that splattered from their bodies for the rest of my life." Now only Bai Yi remains standing before me, but he is also seriously wounded. We have become the deepest enemies of the Chechen rebels, the 'assassin organization' terrorists, and the Afghan guerrillas. Yet I dare not take him with me to force a breakout, I dare not risk his life, nor the last responsibility left to me by my brother Zhu Jianjun! ”
"And him!" Zhanxia Ge's finger reached out to Zhao Haiping again, "From the day he called me Master, he followed me in endless battles. No matter what crazy things I did, how he led everyone down a path of no return, he always silently supported me, always allowed me to lead him to all sorts of irrational and even death-defying actions." ”
Zhanxiage shouted hoarsely, "They are now my brothers, my responsibility. If I can't send them back to China alive, I, Zhanxiage, will die with regrets!" Oransley, if you're willing to treat my Hero Song as a brother, if you're willing to see me as a friend you can make friends with, then please help me take care of them and lead them back to our motherland! I beg you!! ”
"Bang!"
Zhan Xiaoge's forehead slammed hard against this hard, unfamiliar land. Amid the dull sound, bright blood suddenly burst from a small stone lying on the ground and onto his forehead.
"Master, what's wrong?" Zhao Haiping lunged forward, hugging Zhan Xiaoge tightly. He tried with all his might to lift her up, screaming hoarsely, "What nonsense are you talking about?" My master is a man of iron bones, my master is a sword that would rather break than bend. You kneel before others for me—aren't you stabbing into my heart with a knife?! ”
Bai Yi lunged forward without hesitation, using his blood-soaked hands to tightly grab Zhan Xiaoge's hands, shouting hoarsely, "Zhan Xiaoge, stand up for me! Don't forget, you are a fang!" You are our proudest and most proud fang!! ”
"I know I'm a tusk!" The bullet, stained with Zhu Jianjun's blood, lay flat in Zhanxiage's palm, flickering with a reddish-brown light. He carefully placed it into the pocket of his military uniform. Zhanxiage raised his head and shouted wildly, "But I'm also a man with flesh and blood, with feelings!" You fought everything for me, carving out a bloody path for you. Facing your great kindness, I, Zhanxia Ge, have no way to repay you. What I can do now is draw them all behind me and draw everyone's attention out of this mountain! ”
"I know my decision was foolish, I know it's foolish, but please, let me do what a man should do—for the sake of my lifesaver...... Fight your way out to carve out a bloody path! ”
"Bang!"
Zhanxiage pressed his forehead against Bai Yi and slammed hard into the hard, thick earth again. He glared at Bai Yi and shouted hoarsely, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't let myself die, because I still carry the responsibility left by Brother Zhu Jianjun, and on me, Brother Sun Jing wants to share the life with me!" If you believe in a man's promise, if you believe in the person named Zhanxia Ge, then please let me take the heroic souls of Brother Zhu Jianjun and Brother Sun Jing and walk out with honor! ”
Looking at the man before him, whose eyes were filled with pain and sorrow, at this world's finest soldier with an unyielding spirit, Oransley truly didn't know what he could do to refuse such a man's request! He snuffed his nose hard and shouted, "Alright, I'll take on your hired mission!" When we get the chance to meet in China, you want to treat me to a lavish meal for three days and nights, as your commission for hiring the South African Flying Tigers! ”
"Alright!" Zhanxiage jumped up and shouted wildly, "All sons, speak your mind!" ”
"Swift horse whip!"
With a loud "smack," two equally powerful, heavy, and equally capable hands that could support a vast blue sky clashed fiercely.
