Chapter 3: The First Subordinate (2)

Semyon made a split-second decision, lunging forward with the bayonet aimed at the enemy’s flank.

The enemy let out a ghastly scream.

Ludmila was quick on her feet, smothering the enemy’s mouth with her hand.

But it was too late. From the first floor came another enemy’s query, “Gas wrench?”

In a moment of desperation, Wang Zhong said to Ludmila, “Scream! You scream!”

Ludmila immediately let out a piercing scream as if she was being sexually assaulted.

Wang Zhong saw the enemies were stunned because he hadn’t done anything yet, he was even a body’s length away from Ludmila with a rifle between them.

Semyon stabbed several more times, and the fiercely resisting enemy finally stopped moving.

Immediately, Wang Zhong said to Ludmila, “You lie on the table, hold on to this dead bastard, and keep screaming to lure the second enemy down.”

Ludmila did as she was told.

Just as Wang Zhong was about to issue an order to Semyon, he saw Semyon had already hidden beside the door.

This bird’s-eye view was pretty convenient, literally keeping an eye on all directions.

The second enemy appeared at the door and upon seeing Ludmila, he outright laughed: “Wow, to death or glory, huh!”

The lust-driven enemy didn’t even notice the bloodstains on his comrade and walked straight into the room.

Semyon shouted and lunged forward with his bayonet.

But this enemy was quick, dodging the thrust and grabbing a helmet to smash it onto the overextended Semyon’s head.

Semyon screamed in pain, likely pierced by the spike on the helmet.

Damn, could that spike really come in handy like this?

The enemy yelled out, pulling out a dagger and stabbing it into Semyon.

From his bird’s-eye view, Wang Zhong clearly saw that Semyon was no longer moving. Shifting his focus didn’t provide any explanation.

Wang Zhong: “You can still catch up with them.”

Ludmila bit her lip and looked at Wang Zhong: “No, I think in our current situation, the chances of survival with either side are not high.”

Wang Zhong: “You’re right.”

He took a deep breath and turned towards the corpses.

He picked up Semyon’s gun and handed it to Ludmila: “You need something to defend yourself; can you shoot?”

Ludmila took the gun and proficiently checked the chamber, then looked up at Wang Zhong: “I scored higher than you in shooting, Major, don’t you remember?”

"Oh, is that so?” Wang Zhong mused internally, what kind of pure loser had he replaced.

After salvaging another rifle, several grenades, and some ammunition from the other two bodies, Wang Zhong decided to move out.

He moved stealthily up to the ground floor, promptly switching to the bird’s-eye view.

It was then that he noticed in the upper right-hand corner of his field of vision, aside from himself, there was another badge, focused on the new badge it read: “Captain Ludmila Vasilyevna Malyukhova, Divine Arrow.”

So, people who would follow his orders would be added to the badge?

And what in the world was Divine Arrow?

Wang Zhong switched floors and suddenly realized he could see the basement as well.

Could it be that, like in real-time strategy games, this ‘cheat’ allowed him to see through the eyes of the troops under his command?

This was indeed convenient, as gaining command over more troops would widen his field of vision.

Regardless, he now had a soldier under his command.

And such a beautiful girl at that.

Wang Zhong cautiously moved to the second floor and discovered that it had been hit by artillery; there was a large hole in the wall facing the street.

Ludmila: “We were originally on the second floor, but before we could destroy the enemy’s tank, we received a direct hit from a shell, and the entire Divine Arrow squad was reduced to just myself.”
