“Is it over?

Alright, I understand!”

In a speeding military off-road vehicle, Colonel Hong answered the call with a stern expression.

After hanging up, he shouted to the driver in front, “Stop!”

The news of the supply station being attacked by criminals was actually the first thing the regiment learned about.

It was just that the colonel had taken his men out for training, and considering that the Iron Boned Hero Regiment had no rapid response capability, they could only continue to request reinforcements.

But this didn’t mean that the Iron Bones Hero Regiment wasn’t taking any action.

After learning about it, Colonel Hong immediately sounded the alarm, and then the entire regiment’s fastest mobilizing infantry platoon got on trucks. He personally led the team and rushed quickly towards the incident.

However, they had only left the training camp less than fifty kilometers away.

A call came from the division headquarters.

The emergency situation had been roughly resolved, and they were currently engaged in post-incident work. The Iron Bone Hero Regiment didn’t need to go there anymore.

Holding back his frustration, but unable to change the situation.

“Colonel, what’s going on?”

Just as they stopped, the chief of staff from the car behind got out and jogged over.

“Division headquarters orders, we don’t need to go there anymore. Now, you lead the team back, and 1’11 go to the hospital with the political commissar!” “Well… alright!” The chief of staff nodded somewhat reluctantly.

Knowing that his regiment’s soldiers had been shot in the attack, his first instinct was to seek revenge.

But later, he learned that there was a special forces unit and a division reconnaissance company engaged in a confrontation near the attacked supply station. He knew right away that his chances of personally getting revenge were slim.

With both a special forces unit and a reconnaissance company involved, those criminals would likely be dealt with on the spot.

The colonel looked at him. “That’s enough, lead the team back!”

After saying that, the colonel got back into the vehicle.

One of the wounded soldiers at the supply station was in relatively stable condition, not in immediate danger, but the other one was reported to be in critical condition and was being urgently transported to the hospital for treatment.

As the regimental commander, now that he had come out, he didn’t need to handle the enemy situation anymore. In this situation, he certainly had to visit the hospital!

“Ugh~”

While the colonel and the political commissar were heading to the hospital, in the sky above the incident site, a Z-9 helicopter began its return journey to the division headquarters.

In the cabin, Wang Ye sat beside the clerk who was bent over, vomiting.

This made the pilot in front turn his head to look, wanting to say something, but ultimately held back.

They were all comrades who had just experienced real combat, and they didn’t know what to say in this situation.

Even though they were now vomiting on their beloved aircraft, they had to endure it.

“Are you okay?” Wang Ye patted his back.

“I’m… I’m fine… I just feel a bit airsick!”

After vomiting, the clerk raised his head and gave a rather lame excuse.

“Heh, I understand, I understand. To be honest, I feel a bit airsick too!” On the opposite side, a non-commissioned officer from the third platoon smiled awkwardly.

What he said was true; he already felt a bit queasy, and now that the clerk had vomited, his urge to vomit had intensified.

However, they were definitely not airsick.

These square-jawed soldiers, who were used to driving in rough terrain, couldn’t possibly get airsick while sitting in a helicopter. Moreover, these veterans had all been on planes before.

The vomiting was just a reaction to having taken a life for the first time, or rather, witnessing a killing. Now that the mission was over and their minds had relaxed a bit, they couldn’t help but feel nauseous when they thought about it.

Especially on the clerk’s side, the unlawful individual shot by Wang Ye had been hit in the back of the head.

The visual impact of a headshot was definitely more intense than that of a body shot.

Even though Wang Ye didn’t personally pull the trigger, he had witnessed it up close at the scene.

However, he couldn’t handle it, while Wang Ye, the one who had fired the shot, felt absolutely no discomfort.

He didn’t know why, but he just didn’t feel anything.

Even when he recalled the image of killing that person, Wang Ye remained calm inside.

In fact, Wang Ye was even thinking that if the person were still standing in front of him, he would still shoot him without hesitation.

“Where’s the thermal imager?”

Suddenly, Jiang Nan, who was sitting on the other side of Wang Ye, turned his head and spoke.

Wang Ye looked at him, then silently took something out of his bag.

No one had mentioned this thing before, including when they left the training area for the supply station, neither the chief of staff nor Jiang Nan had mentioned it.

However, as soon as the mission was over, the chief of staff asked Wang Ye if the thermal imager was still on him.

Knowing that, he immediately ordered one of the reconnaissance soldiers who had participated in killing the criminals to go back with the ammunition-laden armed helicopter from the division headquarters.

On the surface, it seemed like the chief of staff was taking care of the psychological well-being of the soldiers after the battle, instructing everyone to rest and prepare for counseling from a psychologist.

But Wang Ye understood his true intention, Jiang Nan understood it, and even the first batch of soldiers who had faced off against the enemy, then learned about the thermal imager from the clerk’s group, understood it too.

However, the captain of the Special Forces was not present at the moment. Black Fox had brought his team, and as soon as they landed, they were assigned to the jungle to follow tracks and investigate whether there were any remaining threats.

“Is that the thermal imager? I can’t believe it’s so small!” Inside the cabin, as Wang Ye took out the thermal imager, a sergeant from the third platoon couldn’t help but exclaim.

It was his first time seeing such a device.

The others were similarly curious, all looking at the small gadget in Jiang Nan’s hands as if it were a telescope..
