The wilderness in the north was cold and lonely. It was a vast expanse with only sparse and withered trees and plants.

The sound of the helicopter and military jeep came closer and closer. Dozens of fully armed soldiers carrying automatic walking sticks formed a search formation as they moved forward nervously in the wilderness.

He struggled to his feet, his face as white as a corpse's, his voice trembling as he contacted the leader of the search party with the miniature intercom mounted on his helmet.

A tragic scene was presented in front of the soldiers.

Not long ago, this place had been a noisy campsite, but now, it was ruled by the silent Death God.

Six badly mutilated corpses lay scattered on the ground in the mud and frozen soil as if they had been torn and bitten by wild beasts.

The leader of the search party, Chu Tianjiao, was frowning as he stood dumbly to the side, not saying a word.

These six dead people were all "Scarlet Flames".

Every autumn, every major military region would send their most elite soldiers to participate in the "Crimson Flame".

For the selection, the subject's tests were so harsh that it was almost abnormal, including shooting, physical fitness, fighting, infiltration, and so on. The elimination rate was as high as 83.5%.

Being able to enter this troop was a supreme honor.

Allegedly, "Crimson Flame!"

The total number of members was only around fifty. They had participated in many secret missions, but the details were unknown to the rest of the world. It was the highest secret of the upper echelons.

However, there were six 'Scarlet Flames'.

The members of the special forces had perished forever in this desolate place at the northwest border.

"They were ambushed?"

A soldier said to Chu Tianjiao, "They're shooting in all directions..."

"Ye Zheng won't be ambushed."

Chu Tianlang said with certainty.

In Chu Tianlang's mind, he thought back to two years ago when he had participated in the "Scarlet Flame".

The matter of the assessment.

At that time, he was a soldier from a military district in the south who had a good training record and was very proud of his achievements. It was as if he had unlimited energy and could make all the dangers and hardships of the world come to pass without a hitch.

That late autumn, they and the proud children from other military regions of the country gathered together at a training field in the northern prairie. The examiner was a handsome young man named Ye Zheng who participated in the "Chi Yan" examination.

Only three years. His attitude was very calm, but it couldn't conceal the pride and superiority he felt in his heart.

Ye Zheng smiled and said to the 58 participants: "I am your instructor and will accompany you to participate in all the exams. Those who have achieved more than 60% of my score in terms of speed and accuracy, are qualified; those who have achieved more than 75% of my score in terms of all cross-country loads are qualified; and those who are able to hold my ground for 30 seconds are qualified. "

Chu Tianjiao angrily thought, "I don't believe that other than Chi Yan, there are no other experts in the military?"

The other participants were all thinking the same thing.

However, their arrogance was quickly swept away … Automatic step rod rapid fire, 58 participants; 7 qualified; all carrying weight cross-country, 58 participants, 9 qualified; fighting, 58 participants, 5 qualified. The number of contestants, 5 contestants, 58.

Those who passed the comprehensive exam in the past: 2. Chu Tianlang's result was only mediocre among the 58 people, he had been severely eliminated.

He finally believed that there really was someone with a talent like Ye Zheng in this world who could undergo the same training and obtain a battle power that far surpassed his peers.

This was the so-called "Weapon King".

Come on.

At this moment, this "weapon king"

Lying in the cold mud with his companions, like an ordinary person.

Chu Tianlang shook his head, he was unable to associate Ye Zheng's high-spirited appearance with the ice cold corpse.

A soldier crouched down and carefully examined the corpse. When he found a corpse with an armband on it, he suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly.

Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat, he rushed forward and flipped it over and over, he saw that it was Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng's body seemed to have been attacked multiple times by blades, it was filled with blood stains and he was on his last breath. His face had already become as white as paper due to excessive blood loss, but it was unable to hide his arrogant temperament.

"Call the medical helicopter!"

Chu Tianlang suddenly stood up and screamed.

Two weeks later, in a hidden military hospital, Ye Zheng lied on a sickbed in the intensive care unit.

The door of the ward opened, and a thin figure walked in, with grey hair and firm and calm steps. It was Ye Zheng's old boss, the Commander Tang of N Army Region.

"Soldier King?"

The Commander Tang asked Ye Zheng with a smile.

Ye Zheng was a little nervous as he struggled to raise his hands in salute. Commander Tang waved his hands and stopped his actions, saying, "Recover well, no need to bow."

Ye Zheng said.

"According to the plan made by the headquarters, your six man team's mission is to intercept and ambush a group of armed elements."

Commander Tang became serious, "At the beginning, you guys completed it well. You killed 21 people and none of you lost to them. Then, as a captain, your confidence expands and you start your chase after them for more than ten kilometers, gradually deviating from your intended route. "

"Who would've thought …"

Ye Zheng's expression became vexed and resentful: "We should summon our air force and blow that area up to the sky!"

"What did you encounter?"

Commander Tang stared at Ye Zheng's eyes.

"Shadow... "Or is it some kind of creature …"

Ye Zheng closed his eyes and revealed a painful expression: "It's too fast, we won't be able to catch it … "We'll shoot, and only hit its afterimage …"

He had already repeated these words to the investigators countless of times, but everyone agreed that Ye Zheng had been negligent, had been ambushed by the armed elements, had mental problems, or was simply shunning responsibility.

Commander Tang stood at the window and was silent for a long time before saying, "This matter is too strange, there are many things that do not make sense. However, in the military report, we can only assume that they were ambushed."

"I understand."

Ye Zheng's eyes dimmed.

"There is no hillside or jungle, how can we ambush them? All dead warriors are killed by sharp weapons, how can the opponent do that? "

Commander Tang seemed to be asking Ye Zheng, and also asking himself.

"After my injuries recover, I want to investigate them thoroughly by myself!"

Ye Zheng gritted his teeth: "If I go alone, I will definitely not implicate my comrades!"

"However, this incident can be considered as a serious command accident." When you recover from your injuries, you will be forcibly discharged from the army. "

Commander Tang turned his head to look at Ye Zheng, and said slowly.

"I …"

Ye Zheng the tough guy was actually choked up.

He raised his head, his eyes brimming with tears. "No matter if I am a soldier or a commoner, no matter what method I use, I will find out the truth of this matter and avenge my brothers."

"Warriors of the Crimson Flame Special Forces, Ye Zheng, listen up."

Commander Tang's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, sonorous and powerful.

"Yes!"

Ye Zheng who was on the sickbed tried his best to straighten his chest.

"War has all sorts of forms. War is everywhere."

Commander Tang's voice became low and firm: "To be frank, you have retired. But you have a more important mission, and that is the highest secret of the army. "
